Ch351 - The Matter of Quota

Edited by Zaki

Half a month later…

Li Ruyue and Huang Shi’an, Mother and Son, were invited by the Sect Master Xuanyuan Chen to come to the Sect Master’s Palace for tea tasting.

“Both of you taste this tea that Mufeng gave me. He said he planted this in his yard. It’s delicious to drink.” Xuanyuan Chen said with a smile.

“Many thanks, Sect Master.” Lowering their heads, the Mother and Son duo hurriedly expressed their thanks.

“Little Yue, there are no outsiders here, so don’t call me Sect Master. You can just call me Uncle like you used to do when you were a child.” Xuanyuan Chen looked at Li Ruyue.

“Yes, Uncle.” Nodding, Li Ruyue smiled. Although her Father passed away early, the Li family has been the confidant of the Sect Master, and with the support of the Sect Master, the two Elder Brothers were already the First-tier Elders in the sect. And she was also a Second-class Elder in the sect. Other than being very grateful to the Sect Master who raised her since she was a child, she also had a deep admiration for him in her heart. For a long time she had already regarded the other party as her own blood Uncle, or even akin to a Father figure.

“It’s said that Junior Brother Liu is a wizard of alchemy, but I didn’t expect the tea grown by Junior Brother Liu to be so fragrant and delicious.” Sipping the tea in the cup, Huang Shi’an was full of praise.

“Yes, Liu Mufeng is indeed a rare talent.” Nodding, Li Ruyue said the same.

“En, Mufeng is indeed a bit clever, but he is still young. He is far less stable than Shi’an in his handling of affairs. His strength is still a bit weaker.” Xuanyuan Chen laughed lowly at this point.

“Sect Master, you are flattering, but Shi’an does not dare take this credit.” Lowering his head, Huang Shi’an said modestly.

“En.” Nodding his head, Xuanyuan Chen took a sip of tea. “XiaoXu is my closed-door disciple. This brat has a bad temper. He has a temperament that does not allow him to even suffer a bit. The matter of Shanshan before has made some difficulties for you Mother and Son, right?”

“Uncle, don’t say that. You can’t blame my Junior Brother for this matter. It’s Ruyue’s incompetent discipline that made Huang Shanshan disobedient. But don’t worry, Uncle, we have already married her off to Ping City which is very far from here. She will never come back again.” Li Ruyue hurriedly spoke.

“En, you did a good job in this matter.” Xuanyuan Chen smiled, expressing his appreciation.

“No, it’s not me, it’s all due to Shi’an. That bitch Liu Yan still wanted to intercede, but was dealt with by Shi’an. Huang Shanshan’s sea of consciousness was also abolished by Shi’an. She is now a fool and will never return.” Li Ruyue glanced at her Son as she spoke of this.

“En, Shi’an was doing things safely. However, Huang Yan is your Father after all. This matter won’t affect the relationship between Father and Son, right?” Xuanyuan Chen asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry Sect Master, Father is not a person who doesn’t know the basics, he knows which is more important.” In fact, five days ago, his Father had already gone to the Arena area to reconcile with his Mother. As a man, the most important thing was a woman who could assist him. What was the so-called confidante compared to power and status? Without the backing of his Mother and the Li family, his Father’s position in the sect would plummet. This point, his Father was very clear about.

“Uncle, I specially made some dim sums that you like, you can try it.” After speaking, Li Ruyue took out four plates of exquisite dim sums.

“En, it’s very delicately made. It seems that Little Yue’s craftsmanship has not deteriorated.” Xuanyuan Chen picked up a piece and began to taste it.

“Uncle, you are overpraising me.” Lowering her head, Li Ruyue smiled shyly.

“Ruyueah, you are much older thanXiaoXu, he is your Junior Brother, let this matter about Shanshan go. For Uncle’s sake, don’t blameXiaoXu, don’t create any quarrel with him. What do you say?” Both people were equally important,XiaoXu was his beloved disciple, and Ruyue was his Niece raised since childhood, Xuanyuan Chen naturally did not want the two of them to have a separation because of Huang Shanshan, an outsider. Furthermore, the Huang family had three Sect Elders,XiaoXu and Mufeng were far inferior in strength, and it was not good for them to have an issue with the Huang Family.

“Uncle, don’t worry, Ruyue understands. I don’t blame Junior Brother for this matter, Ruyue will never hold grudges against Junior Brother.”

“Mother is right, this matter was originally the Huang family’s fault, how could we blame the two Junior Brothers? Don’t worry, Sect Master, we will never have any quarrel with the two Juniors.” Nodding, Huang Shi’an also hurried to make a pledge.

“En, that’s good. Two days ago,XiaoJie andXiaoXu competed in the arena. I thinkXiaoJie’s swordsmanship has improved a lot.XiaoJie is getting more and more promising now.” Xuanyuan Chen said with a smile.

“It was my Junior Brother who showed mercy, otherwise,XiaoJie would have been knocked out of the ring long ago.” Smiling, Huang Shi’an replied modestly.

“That’s right, my Junior Brother’s swordsmanship is better.” Nodding, Li Ruyue said the same.

“No,XiaoXu is my apprentice. I know his virtues. He won’t hide his abilities.XiaoJie could get a draw with him. It can be seen thatXiaoJie has improved a lot in swordsmanship over the years.”

“The Sect Master is overpraising.XiaoJie’s aptitude is mediocre, but his success lies in his hard work and tenacity. He knows how to study hard. However, I think that in time,XiaoJie will definitely not be the opponent of Junior Brother. The aptitude and talent of the Junior Brother are far superior toXiaoJie.” Jiang Xu was a well-known cultivation genius of the Lingwu Sect, he was already at the Spiritual Profound Realm when he was less than five hundred years old, but his own Son had been stuck at the nine stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm for almost a thousand years. Naturally, the two people could not be compared.

“It’s good to be hardworking. A good child knows the importance of hard work. Mufeng said that the previous matter about Shanshan made him feel a bit sorry for the Huang family, so he was willing to send two slots to the Huang family to go to the Stone Clan Ruins. He also specifically named one of them to be given toXiaoJie.” Xuanyuan Chen smiled.

“Haven’t all the quotas for the Stone Clan ruins been sold? There are still quotas?” Li Ruyue was shocked when she heard this.

It was known that her Eldest Grandson, Huang Jie, had been stuck in the nine stars of the Spiritual Profound Realm for nearly a thousand years, and what he needed was an opportunity to pass through this bottleneck in his cultivation. Previously, when Liu Mufeng held a secret bid for the quota, the Huang family also participated, but at that time, three of the six younger generations of the Huang family wanted to go. Therefore, her husband offered a price of 500 million, probably because the price of 500 million was too little, so the Huang family lost the bid and missed the spot. For this reason,XiaoJie had been troubled for a long time.

Huang Shi’an was also very shocked when he heard about the quota. He also didn’t expect that Liu Mufeng would be so generous that he would give two slots to the Huang family, and he also specifically requested that one of the slots must be for his Son. This was simply pie falling from the sky. Huang Shi’an never thought that there would be such a big good thing waiting.

Eighty years ago,XiaoJie was depressed for a long time because he didn’t get a slot to go to the ruins of the Stone Clan. IfXiaoJie knew this good news, he would be very happy.

“That’s right. Eighty years ago, Liu Mufeng’s six quotas were indeed sold. But later, the sect found out that two of them were not disciples of the sect, but spies of the Five Poisons Sect. Therefore, this Seat means to get rid of those two spies before the opening of the ruins.” Xuanyuan Chen’s eyes narrowed.

“How courageous! The disciples of the Five Poison Sect dare to come to our Lingwu Sect to spy on the sect’s news, and even dare to buy a slot to go to the Stone Clan’s ruins. They’re really deceitful.” Li Ruyue snorted coldly at this point.

“These two little ants are indeed very courageous. Not only did they dare to be spies, they dared to buy a quota, and even dared to secretly attack my disciple Jiang Xu. They’re so bold, it makes me very uncomfortable.” Xuanyuan Chen snorted coldly.

“Sect Master, don’t worry, this Shi’an will definitely get rid of such daring spies, relieve the Sect Master’s worries, and avenge my Junior Brother.” Huang Shi’an vowed. As long as these two people were killed, his Son could go to the Stone Clan ruins.XiaoJie will be very happy.

“Shi’an is right, these kinds of rats cannot be allowed to live. Ruyue will definitely get rid of them.” Nodding, Li Ruyue said the same. For the sake of the sect, this kind of audacious spies had to be eliminated, and for the sake of her Grandson, these two people could not be left alive either.

“En, I will leave this matter to you. These two people captured Zhang Peng and Zheng Qiao, the disciples of our sect’s Artifact Refining Peak. They disguised themselves as these two disciples to lurk in my sect. They are really deceiving people too much.” If Mufeng hadn’t told himself, Xuanyuan Chen wouldn’t have known that there were two more spies from the Five Poison Sect in the sect.

“Don’t worry, Sect Master, we will definitely handle this matter well.” Bowing his head, Huang Shi’an immediately accepted the order.

“En, don’t go there with a lot of fanfare. Don’t cause panic among the disciples of the sect. In addition, although these two boys are cultivators in the Spiritual Profound Realm, they are members of the Five Poisons Sect. Their poison skills are very powerful. You should be more careful. It’s best to kill them with one move, and not give them any chance to breathe, so as not to be poisoned by them.” Xuanyuan Chen reminded the two people.

“Uncle, don’t worry, we’ve made a note.” Nodding, Li Ruyue agreed. Both her and her Son were in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm, so they were more than enough to kill two cultivators in the Spiritual Profound Realm.

“En.” Nodding in satisfaction, Xuanyuan Chen lowered his head and took a sip of tea. It had to be said that Liu Mufeng was still very good at being a man. He gave two slots to the Huang family so generously, the Huang family was bound to be grateful for his kindness. And he could also use the Huang family’s hand to get rid of his enemies, so it’s hitting two birds with one stone!
