The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 946 This little girl is not bad

The Pilgrimage City of Southern Continent, the Pilgrimage Tower.

Qian'er tearfully recounted how the Thunder Boat had been swallowed up by those bastards from the Yu family of the Thunder Control Sect.

Even with his good temper, Shangguan Yun's chest heaved when he heard that Qian'er was being bullied like this.

Qian'er wiped away her tears and concluded, "Qian'er dares not cause trouble within the sect, and I can't find anyone who can stand up for me."

So I asked Senior Brother Hei to help me borrow the Thunder Boat, which allowed me to come here to find Uncle Yun.

Shangguan Yun's face turned ashen. He had ordered Wang Lin to handle this matter, but that guy had actually pushed it onto someone else.

The old man actually entrusted the business of three trillion low-grade spirit stones to a cultivator who had just reached the Void Refinement stage, and a cultivator from the Yu family at that.

It seems that Shangguan Yun hasn't made any big moves in recent years, which has made that old guy a bit arrogant.

Although angry, Shangguan Yun still restrained himself and said, "More than a year has passed now, so I suppose that Yu Shu is no longer in the sect."

Even if our clan intervenes now, the Yu family will only blame it on Yu Shu…

The implication is that it will likely be very difficult to recover those thunderboats now.

Qian'er wasn't in a hurry. She knew Shangguan Yun would definitely have a solution. She got up, poured a cup of spiritual tea, and respectfully presented it to Shangguan Yun, saying, "Uncle Yun, you must already have a solution, right?"

Shangguan Yun was somewhat surprised and asked with a smile, "Oh? How did you know that our sect has a solution?"

Qian'er chuckled and said, "Uncle Yun is the sect leader of the Thunder Control Sect. If you can be stumped by such a small matter, then you are underestimating the sect leader of the number one sect in the Eastern Continent."

Shangguan Yun laughed heartily, "Haha, you little girl~ Although it's a bit of flattery, it's also true."

"To dare to pull such tricks right under our noses, Yu Shuren needs to be taught a lesson."

Qian'er was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Uncle Yun, what are you planning to do? Do you need my help?"

Shangguan Yun shook his head and said, "No need. Just arrange for people to prepare to receive that batch of Thunder Boats. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Qian'er nodded, as if she had something to say, but hesitated. She gently bit her lip and finally asked, "How is Chengfeng?"

Shangguan Yun replied, "This sect is not clear about the specifics either. They have been in the Holy Flame Realm for three years, and it will take them another two years to come out."

During the time Pan Chengfeng was participating in the genius competition, none of his women were without worry.

This competition, though called a contest, was no different from a life-or-death duel.

Qian'er wanted to stay and wait for Pan Chengfeng to come out, but she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her and her group to stay there.

After hesitating for a while, Qian'er, who rarely showed such a girlish demeanor, still spoke up and pleaded, "This concubine wishes to wait for Chengfeng to come out, and hopes that Uncle Yun can grant my request."

Shangguan Yun thought it was something serious, so she nodded slightly and said, "You can stay here. There are plenty of rooms available."

Qian'er was overjoyed and quickly curtsied, saying, "Thank you so much, Uncle Yun! I'll go do my other things now."

After Shangguan Yun finished his business, Qian'er happily led the group to leave. She had just received a message from the Zijin Mansion's reception staff, inviting her to discuss wine business.

Before they even left the room, Shangguan Yun suddenly called out to Qian'er, "When it comes to business, you seem to be more knowledgeable than us. Nangong Xing really likes your wine, so you can sell it for a higher price."

Qian'er's eyes lit up and she said, "I understand."

With just one sentence from Shangguan Yun, the original price was increased by another 10%.

Don't underestimate this small percentage; Zijin Mansion buys in very large quantities each time, and it's a long-term partnership.

Even a tenth of the price was a huge financial blow to Zijin Mansion, but that's a story for another time.

After the group left, Shangguan Yun slowly put away his smile and sighed, "That girl is quite something. She's shrewd and resourceful. That kid really has good taste."

After saying this, Shangguan Yun's handsome face fell, and he muttered, "I can't leave right now, so I'll have to ask my senior brother to handle this matter."

Although Xie Feng has not yet emerged from seclusion, he broke through to the peak of the Integration Realm two years ago and has been meditating to consolidate his cultivation for the past two years.

Now, because of Qian'er's matter, Shangguan Yun plans to send him out of seclusion ahead of schedule to handle this matter, and also to give the Yu family a warning.

This incident greatly displeased Shangguan Yun, who planned to use it as an opportunity to teach some people a lesson.

After Qian'er left Shangguan Yun's room, the gloom that had been shrouding her heart for the past two years finally dissipated.

Seeing that her sister's mood had improved, Qing'er quickly stepped forward and said, "With Sect Leader Shangguan taking care of this matter, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Qian'er was in a good mood and her usual smile returned. She said happily, "That's secondary. More importantly, I and the Zhong family have gained Uncle Yun's approval."

"Which do you think is more important: earning Uncle Yun's approval for trillions of low-grade spirit stones?"

The group said in unison, "Of course, Sect Leader Shangguan is more important!"

Hong Renjie then said, "This is the first time I've seen a Nascent Soul cultivator so kind, especially the sect leader of the number one sect, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection!"

Compared to the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yu family, they are worlds apart.

Hong Renjie had met several Yu family Nascent Soul cultivators in the Yu family's assassin organization before. Each of them gave people the feeling of being high and mighty, looking down on all living beings.

Zhou Ru also spoke up, saying, "Sect Leader Shangguan gives me the feeling of being a kind and approachable elder in my family."

Qing'er chimed in, "Yes, yes, I was very nervous at first. I didn't dare to look up or even breathe loudly."

However, when I heard Sect Leader Shangguan talking to my sister, they were surprisingly down-to-earth and even gave me a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Why do you think Sect Leader Shangguan makes me feel this way?

Later, I mustered up my courage and secretly glanced at Sect Leader Shangguan. I never expected him to be so handsome…

"How dare you!" Qian'er interrupted Qing'er's words with a soft shout, her pretty face slightly darkening as she said, "Uncle Yun treats us like juniors, that's why he treats us that way."

If you dare to speak recklessly again, don't blame me for punishing you with family discipline!

Qing'er shrank her neck and pouted, saying, "Sister was just wiping away tears in front of the sect leader, and now she has the nerve to criticize me?"

"What do you know?!" Qian'er said angrily, "When our parents died, I didn't shed a single tear."

I was just trying to gain Uncle Yun's sympathy, but it seems I wasted my breath.

I never imagined that Chengfeng held such a high position in Uncle Yun's heart, far exceeding my expectations.

Qian'er was unsure how Shangguan Yun would treat her and the Zhong family in Pan Chengfeng's absence, so she had planned from the beginning to gain Shangguan Yun's sympathy.

Although cultivators generally don't have much compassion, Qian'er had no other choice but to take a gamble.

Actually, Qian'er's efforts weren't entirely in vain. Shangguan Yun already had a good impression of her, and after this incident, he could even be said to like her.

When Shangguan Yun saw Qian'er crying her heart out, his anger flared up even more.

The anger of the leader of the number one sect can only be quelled by the blood of at least a thousand people.

Shangguan Yun originally planned to wait a few years before making a move, but now that Yu Shuren of the Yu family has given him the opportunity, he naturally won't be polite and will kill a batch of them first.

At this moment, Xie Feng was in a secluded chamber of the Thunder Control Sect.

Xie Feng, who was meditating, reached out and took a communication talisman. His eyes lit up and he said, "The sect leader has finally made up his mind. It just so happens that the old man has also successfully broken through. However, I can handle this matter myself."

Yu Shuren! I've wanted to beat you up for thousands of years, but I never imagined you'd be so stupid as to give the sect leader the opportunity to attack the Yu family!
