Ch399 - Receive a Reward

Edited by Zaki

Hearing the name Liu Mufeng, Fang Tingting’s eyes widened in shock. Her little heart was beating non-stop. It was actually Liu Mufengah! The youngest Elder of the Lingwu Sect, Liu Mufeng, the alchemy genius of the Lingwu Sect. If they could talk to this person, then they would not need to rely on the Shi family, their Fang family could still get the Spiritual Cultivation Pill and heal their Elder Brother.

Not long after, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu followed the guards and walked into the hall together.

Seeing the visitors, Fang Tingting’s joyful heart instantly went cold. Her face also twisted directly.

“Greetings to the City Lord, Wife of the City Lord.” Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu hurriedly saluted.

“The two Daoist Friends don’t need to be so polite. I wonder who the two of you are?” Looking at the two of them, Shi Zhentian asked.

“Oh, this one is named Liu Mufeng and this is my partner Jiang Xu. We are the Elders in the Medicinal Pool Area of the Lingwu Sect.” Liu Mufeng truthfully introduced himself.

“Liu Mufeng, you, you are really Liu Mufeng.” Madam Shi was very excited.

“Madam, don’t be rude.” Shi Zhentian gave a low reprimand after glancing at his Wife.

“Oh. Oh, I was reckless, I hope the two Daoist Friends don’t mind. Come on, hurry up, serve the spiritual fruit and spiritual tea.” Saying that, Madam Shi immediately stood up and ordered the maids to deliver the spiritual fruits and spiritual tea to greet the guests.

“Madam, there is no need to be so formal. We came here just to say a few words, and we will leave soon.” Looking at the suddenly excited Madam Shi, Liu Mufeng smiled helplessly as he thought:I don’t seem to know this Lady, why is she so excited?

“No, the two Daoist Friends may not know that this Seat, Shi Zhentian, is Shi Li’s Third Uncle. Shi Li is my Elder Brother’s Second Son, the third oldest amongst the cousins. He has a very close relationship with my Son, Shi Zhe. He often mentions the great names of Daoist Friend Liu and Daoist Friend Jiang to Zhe’er. Since the two are my Nephew’s good friends and have travelled a long way, you should let us do our duty as hosts. How could we just let you leave?” Shi Zhentian said with a smile.

“Oh, so City Lord Shi is Senior Brother Shi’s Third Uncle, this, I really didn’t know.” Liu Mufeng felt a little embarrassed when he said this. He really didn’t knowah!It turned out that this Hui City was Shi Li’s old home. When he first investigated Shi Li, he only knew that Shi Li’s Father had died early, and that Shi Li’s Third Uncle was the Lord of a big city and a cultivator in the Spiritual Venerable Realm. Unexpectedly, it turned out that this City Lord Shi was Hui City’s City Lordah!

“You two liars, how could you be Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu? Don’t confuse the public here and ruin the reputation of the two Seniors. The two Seniors are so upright and noble, how could it be you two? You are so cold-blooded, ruthless, disregarding human life, and loving money like your life. How dare you pretend to be the number one alchemy genius of the Lingwu Sect, are you worthy?” Looking at the two with contempt, Fang Tingting accused them of their crimes aggressively.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu exchanged helpless glances and thought:This trip was really unlucky, even handing over the bandit’s head for the bounty was full of twists and turns.

“If you think we are not Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, then it doesn’t matter. We are not here to cheat. It’s only to exchange for a bounty, as for who we are doesn’t matter.” Liu Mufeng said in an unimpressed manner.

“Right, it doesn’t matter who we are, what matters is that this person is the real Cheng Biao.” As he spoke, Jiang Xu took out Cheng Biao’s head and looked at City Lord Shi. “City Lord Shi, this person’s head is worth three million spirit stones, right?”

City Lord Shi froze for a moment, then nodded. “That’s right, the reward was indeed issued by me. This person’s head is indeed worth three million. Thank you, Nephew Jiang.”

“There is no need to be so polite, City Lord Shi, you can give us the spirit stones, so we can leave.” As he spoke, Jiang Xu put the bloody head on the side coffee table.

“Uncle Shi, you can’t give them spirit stones. They are liars. They are not Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu at all. They are just two selfish and cold-blooded ghosts. If they weren’t so callous, my Fifth Senior Brother Zhang Bin would not have died. They beat the air bandits away, and they even sold us an antidote pill at the price of 50,000 spirit stones. They don’t care about the lives of us passengers. They are liars.” Fang Tingting complained in a cold voice.

“Hmph, brat, do you have a hole in your head? That Senior Brother of yours is neither my Father nor my Son, so why should I save him? Besides, he died to save you, so what does he have to do with us? Yes, we snatched those antidotes from the air bandits, so we can sell them however we want, does it have anything to do with you? Also, we killed the air bandit, so why can’t we claim the reward?” Jiang Xu was very upset because of the girl’s attitude.

“You…” Fang Tingting was speechless after hearing Jiang Xu’s words.

“Miss Fang, I know that you hold a grudge against us afterXiaoXu and I meddled in your business, disturbing your dual cultivation with that air bandit Leader Gui Jianchou, and failing to make you the wife of the Chief of the Black Wind Air Bandits. But, no matter how we offended you, we killed the person, and we came here to receive the reward from the Shi family, so it has nothing to do with you, right?” Liu Mufeng was also very upset at the other party’s meddling.

“You, what nonsense are you talking about? I, I don’t, there’s no such thing!” Pointing at Liu Mufeng, Fang Tingting’s face turned blue and white from anger, and her whole body trembled. This hateful liar actually mentioned that matter in front of the Shi family, making her lose face!

“Nonsense? This incident was witnessed by two hundred and seventy-three people. It’s not good for Ms. Fang to confuse the public like this, is it?” With an ice-cold smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, Liu Mufeng replied.

“Fang Tingting, what the hell is going on here? You cuckolded my son before you even entered my Shi family’s door, and you still have the face to come and withdraw from the marriage?” City Lord Shi was furious.

“No, it’s not like that, Uncle Shi. Listen to my explanation. I secretly ran away from home, but the public aircraft that my Fifth Senior Brother and I were on was hijacked by the Black Wind Air Bandits. They used poison in advance which sealed everyone’s spiritual power. Then took all of us to the hall where hard seats were and asked the cultivators in the hard seat section to pay 100,000 spirit stones each and for the cultivators in private rooms had to pay 200,000 spirit stones. I didn’t have spirit stones, so the air bandit Leader set his sight on me. Later, when Fifth Senior Brother tried to protect me, he was beaten to death by the Third Boss of the Black Wind Air Bandit. I was forced, I was forced. But later, these two men shot Cheng Biao and drove away Gui Jianchou. So, I didn’t lose my virginity.” Fang Tingting cried aggrievedly as she narrated the events.

“Since this is the case, then they are your benefactors. Do you treat the benefactors who saved you from the air bandits with this attitude?” City Lord Shi asked in disbelief.

Fang Tingting felt awkward, but still stubbornly replied, “If they had acted earlier, Fifth Senior Brother would not have died, and I would not have been humiliated by those air bandits.”

Hearing this, Shi Zhe rolled his eyes. “No one is your relative, did they need to consult you before making their move? You take yourself too highly, don’t you?”

“I…” Hearing Shi Zhe’s words, Fang Tingting was extremely ashamed.

“Madam, Tingting has been exhausted due to her travel, you can take her to the backyard to rest.” Shi Zhentian signalled his wife.

“Yes, Tingting, let’s go, I’ll take you to rest.” After saying that, Madam Shi immediately grabbed Fang Tingting’s hand and led her away.

“Aunt Shi, they…” Looking at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, Fang Tingting was still a little reluctant to leave.

“You don’t need to take care of our Shi family’s affairs.” Looking at Fang Tingting, Shi Zhe said unhappily.

Glancing at Shi Zhe, Fang Tingting knew that she was the guilty party, so she didn’t say anything more, and left with Madam Shi.

Seeing the woman leave, Jiang Xu rolled his eyes and looked at Shi Zhe with some sympathy. “Is that your fiancee?”

“Not anymore, she wants to withdraw from the marriage.” Shi Zhe looked relaxed. In fact, he didn’t like Fang Tingting very much at first, but because the two families were family friends, the marriage was arranged not long after the two were born. And now that he was a useless person, he had no right to choose. His Father asked him to marry a wife and have children, so as to spread the branches and leaves for the Shi family. He also agreed.

“It’s good to withdraw, this girl has brain problems, you’d better not marry her, lest she give you a bunch of children with brain problems.” Jiang Xu kindly reminded Shi Zhe.

“Yes, thank you Senior Jiang for your suggestion.” Smiling, Shi Zhe agreed.

After glancing at Shi Zhe, Jiang Xu looked directly at Shi Zhentian. “City Lord Shi, please count the spirit stones for us, we have to hurry.”

“Okay, here are the spirit stones, please check.” After speaking, Shi Zhentian presented a storage ring to Jiang Xu.

Receiving it, Jiang Xu looked at it and realized that the storage ring didn’t contain three million spirit stones, but one billion and three million spirit stones. Looking at the storage ring in his hand, Jiang Xu couldn’t help swallowing. “That, City Lord Shi, did you make a mistake?”

“There’s no mistake, three million is Cheng Biao’s bounty, and one billion is the spirit stones for me to buy a pill from you. I want to buy the Repairing Spiritual Root Pill from two Fellow Daoists.” Shi Zhentian told the truth.

“Ah? You want to buy that pill?” Jiang Xu frowned. Because there was no Repairing Spiritual Root Pill in this world, the reason for saying this at the beginning was just to deceive people. Since Qian Feng’s sudden improvement needed an explanation to the outside world, it was said that Mufeng had developed a sixth-level Repairing Spiritual Root Pill and this pill cured Qian Feng. Only a few insiders knew what was the actual fact.
