Chapter 484: Chapter 454 Ye Wenxuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect
Chapter 484 -454 Ye Wenxuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect
“Alright, no problem.”
Liu Qianyun listened to the string of Heaven and Earth Treasures’ names coming from the Jade Slip, feeling somewhat astonished.
These items clearly couldn’t grow in the desolate Nanyang Treasure Land.
All together, their value almost surpassed that of some outer court elders’ entire fortune.
Had Sect Master Shen not shown his face in the past three months because he’d been out pillaging and destroying homes again?
“What’s the matter?”
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zheng Qian recalled that she had previously stated she wouldn’t involve herself in anything to do with Shen Yi, so she could only pretend curiosity to cover her awkwardness.
“Look at you, speaking from your mouth but not from your heart,” Liu Qianyun gave her a look but indeed, this matter truly couldn’t do without Zheng Qian.
To exchange for a vial of Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix blood essence from a twelfth level Return to Void, one had to be at least an office holder to have the qualifications to speak.
Recently, Elder Liu had been quite attentive to the Nanyang Sect’s affairs, and it had become the talk of the sect. Being his daughter, she inevitably ended up being noted as well.
It could easily lead people to speculate that this was something Nanyang Sect needed, which would only complicate matters further.
Better to have Zheng Qian step forward.
“Come on, let’s go get the stuff.”
Liu Qianyun summoned her treasure ship, taking the embarrassed Zheng Qian with her as they left the sect, heading towards Nanyang Sect.
Meanwhile.
Within the Heavenly Sword Treasure Land, at the Inner Court Office Holder Hall.
A young man dressed in a sword robe lazily leaned back in his chair, observing with a sneer the woman busily attending to her tasks.
Only when the woman finally tidied up the affairs of the various disciples,
Did she turn around, forcing a strained smile, “Office Holder Cui, did I do alright?”
“Not bad, much better than when you first arrived.”
Cui Hao nodded, then languidly stood up, ready to leave the place.
“That is…” the woman quickly called out to him, stating somewhat embarrassedly, “Ye has a question. How much longer do I have to wait before I can get my Office Holder Jade Slip… It was promised by the elder at the time.”
“Hmm?” Cui Hao raised an eyebrow, speaking indifferently, “The elder promised you, so you should ask the elder, why ask me?”
“You jest, I’m nowhere near worthy enough to meet the elder,” the smile at the corner of Ye Wenxuan’s lips grew stiffer as she continued to explain, “As a minor cultivator from the Abyssal Depths, my lifespan is indeed not much. Could Office Holder Cui perhaps inquire on my behalf, at least give me a monthly stipend, even if it’s just that of a disciple’s?”
“Sure.”
Cui Hao shook his head, “Just wait.”
He turned away, the sneer in his eyes deepened.
An inconsequential Return to Void first level cultivator with her lifespan nearly depleted, how dare she even think about becoming an office holder, she should take a look in the mirror.
The elder had agreed to this only to attract that group of native Nanyang cultivators.
And yet, aside from the woman before him, there was no movement from the others.
If not for the elder’s word being as precious as gold, not to be lightly altered, he would have already driven this person out of the inner court.
To aspire to the role of an office holder but unwilling to willingly go to the Nanyang Treasure Land as a mediator, there was no such cheap deal in the world.
“…”
Ye Wenxuan closed her eyes, slowly balling her fists.
She was a cultivator who had lived for many years; though not as experienced as other cultivators, she could still see clearly what was happening.
Yet, it was the desire for longevity that stifled the rage in her heart,
Forcing her to suppress the impulse to leave indignantly.
For many years, the only thought in Ye Wenxuan’s mind had been to “survive.”
“This minor cultivator understands, thank you Office Holder Cui.”
“You’re welcome.”
Cui Hao smiled insincerely, nodding as he was about to step out the door, but a sudden intruding figure pushed him back in.
“Trying to slack off again, huh? Get back to your seat, I’ve got things to do.” Zheng Qian swaggered in with the air of someone who owned the place.
“…” Cui Hao gave her a disgruntled glare, but this was an Alliance Sect attendant that Ye Wenxuan couldn’t handle.
He had no choice but to pat his clothes and say in a deep voice, “Show some respect, Cui has already broken through to the Fifth Level of Returning Void.”
“Oh, I’m so scared.”
Zheng Qian rolled her eyes and slapped the Storage Bag onto the table, “Money talks, understand? You little pauper.”
Ye Wenxuan silently watched the two bicker.
A touch of self-derision suddenly appeared in her expression.
This was the attitude of attendants interacting with one another; in comparison, it was clear to see just how little she was worth in Cui Hao’s eyes.

“Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix blood essence, three portions, hurry up, my Pill Furnace is going to explode,” Zheng Qian waved her hand.
“Tsk, who of the chosen has taken a fancy to you? Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix blood essence? Coming from your mouth, it really doesn’t fit—sounds like a joke,” Cui Hao said mockingly, but still picked up the Storage Bag to carefully inspect its contents.
While checking, he couldn’t help but sarcastically remark, “I’ve recently heard that your good sister has been taking rather good care of those Nanyang natives—what a kind-hearted soul indeed.”
At the mention of Nanyang natives,
Zheng Qian’s eyelid involuntarily twitched, but she quickly adjusted her expression, “None of my concern.”
Ye Wenxuan’s brows also furrowed, seemingly puzzled.
Fortunately, Cui Hao seemed to be focused on checking the Storage Bag and did not notice the reactions of the two women.
Moments later, he walked towards the back room with the bag, “Wait for my message… you, come with me, and learn properly.”
At these words, a look of joy emerged on Ye Wenxuan’s face.
Although Attendant Cui’s words were unpleasant, being brought into the inner parts of the attendant’s hall seemed like some kind of signal.
She hurriedly followed him.
But she saw that as soon as Cui Hao stepped into the soundproof Array of the inner room, he suddenly stopped.
When he looked back, his eyes were filled with indifference, “You want to be an attendant, don’t you? Now here’s your chance, so speak.”
“Speak… what?”
Ye Wenxuan looked up in bewilderment, only to be suddenly choked by the neck.
Cui Hao frowned impatiently, “What are you playing dumb for? Who wants this Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix blood essence, and for what purpose? If you dare to lie, just get lost.”
The previous shifts in the women’s expressions, how could they possibly escape his divine sense?
And as for Zheng Qian with her pig brain, what does she have to do with alchemy?
“Heh.”
Ye Wenxuan’s breathing was rapid.
Her change in expression was merely due to her sudden realization that connected the Mysterious Phoenix blood essence to the Spiritual Physique Technique on Shen Yi’s body after overhearing their conversation.
At this moment, the overwhelming pressure from the immense boundary difference made her feel slightly suffocated.
“Rest assured, if it’s useful, your Disciple’s Jade Slip will be in your hands in no more than three days,” Cui Hao released his grip, if the Pure Moon Sect had started to bring out such generous items to support those Nanyang natives.
Then this matter just got a lot more interesting.
The remaining six sects were still discussing, and although Liu Shiqian was an elder, he was just one among a hundred in the White Jade Capital.
Taking sides on one’s own could be a serious taboo.
“I…”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Wenxuan suddenly trembled all over.
Her lips quivered.
After a lengthy silence,
As if resigning to her fate, she said softly, “I’ve seen a Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix before. I never imagined there was another one outside and that it was so precious, so I’m a bit annoyed.”
