Chapter 780 Surprise or Not Surprise (2)
“Let’s call them in first. I want to see what’s going on!”
Wenren Jun ordered the servant outside the door.
Not long after, Qi Huang and the others were brought to the study by the servant.
“Old Madam Wenren, Master Wenren, surprised or not surprised? We’re back safe and sound.”
As soon as Qi Huang entered, she teased them in a high-profile manner. Since she had already gotten the Golden Life Flower Seed, she no longer needed to play along.
“Surprised, yes, but not delighted.”
Wenren Jun forced a stiff smile. His greatest wish was for Qi Huang and the others to die in the Tencel Valley Treasure Land.
“That’s a strange thing to say. Aren’t you happy to see us back safe and sound?”
Shen Yuan asked indignantly.
“Not exactly.”
Wenren Jun gave a hypocritical excuse, then said, “According to the time, you should have only arrived at Tencel Valley a few days ago. Even if things went smoothly, it’s impossible to be back now. Did you encounter some unexpected event midway and give up?”
“So Old Madam Wenren was afraid we didn’t complete the mission!”
Qi Huang said with a deliberate tone of sudden realization, then took out a recently picked Golden Life Flower Seed and placed it on the table. “Here are the Golden Life Flower Seeds we owe you. We’re returning them now as promised.”
Wenren Jun and his son were stunned on the spot. They looked at each other, clearly seeing their own confused and dazed expressions in each other’s pupils.
“Where did you get this Golden Life Flower Seed?”
After a long while, Wenren Jun picked up the seed and asked.
“Of course, we obtained it from the Tencel Valley Treasure Land.”
Qi Huang replied truthfully.
“Don’t lie to me. I said I only want raw ones.”
Wenren Jun warned after observing for a moment.
“Whether it’s raw or ripe, can’t Master Wenren tell? You can tell with a probe of your spiritual sense.”
Qi Huang said calmly.
Wenren Jun probed with his spiritual sense and found that it was indeed a raw Golden Life Flower Seed. A faint look of ecstasy uncontrollable appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared. He then questioned with a gloomy expression, “How exactly did you obtain this Golden Life Flower Seed?”
“We performed outstandingly, so the Immortal Alliance rewarded us with one. It’s that simple.”
Qi Huang casually perfunctorily replied.
“Nonsense! The Immortal Alliance has never had a precedent for rewarding raw Golden Life Flower Seeds, even to disciples who have made great contributions, let alone outsiders like you.”
Wenren Jun naturally didn’t believe her.
“Whether you believe it or not, we have fulfilled our promise. Can you let us go now?”
Qi Huang asked with a probing tone. If the other party was sensible, she wouldn’t bother with force.
“That won’t do. Who knows if you obtained this Golden Life Flower Seed through illegal means? What if it implicates our Wenren family?”
Wenren Jun was being unreasonable.
“That’s right. According to common sense, it’s impossible for you to return so quickly. Therefore, I suspect you didn’t go to the Tencel Valley Treasure Land at all, but used underhanded means to get a Golden Life Flower Seed to fob us off.”
Wenren Qing beside him also said.
“Are you kidding me? You took the reward, and even if we wanted to run, would the Immortal Alliance agree?”
Shen Yuan was immediately furious. She didn’t expect them to be so unreasonable even after receiving a good Golden Life Flower Seed. They were simply insatiable.
“Moreover… is it really that easy to get a raw Golden Life Flower Seed? Why don’t you try to get one for us to see?”
Ruan Lingyu also said indignantly.
“I don’t care. If you want us to believe you, then come back to the Immortal Alliance Main Altar with us to confirm this matter.”
Wenren Jun made his demand.
Qi Huang had long anticipated the other party’s intentions, so she wasn’t surprised.
“Heh heh… you’ve made me laugh. I’ve never seen such a shameless person.”
Su Qingying, however, did not hesitate to voice her thoughts.
“Stinky girl, how dare you insult my father? Do you want to die?”
Wenren Qing cursed loudly.
“Don’t you yell at my Senior Sister. What if we don’t agree?”
Qi Huang looked at Wenren Jun and his son with a half-smile.
“If you have nothing to hide, why are you afraid to come with us?”
Wenren Jun asked calmly, seemingly confident that Qi Huang and the others were incapable of resisting.
“I…”
Qi Huang was about to argue, but then she realized that since her objective was achieved, why waste so much time talking nonsense with them. So she generously admitted, “Forget it, I won’t play along anymore. I’ll reveal my hand. That’s right, this seed was not rewarded by the Immortal Alliance.”
“Oh? You finally admit it?”
Wenren Jun raised an eyebrow, then asked, “Then I’m quite curious, how did you get this Golden Life Flower Seed?”
“It’s easy to say, easy to say. We snatched it from the Immortal Alliance.”
Qi Huang cupped her fists.
“Snatched it? You guys?”
Wenren Qing beside them immediately burst into laughter.
“Not only did we snatch it, but we also killed people.”
Qi Huang leaned in and whispered.
“Oh? Who did you kill?”
Wenren Jun asked with a feigned expression of curiosity.
“I killed three Elders of the Immortal Alliance, including the Grand Elder Zheng Chi…”
Qi Huang confessed honestly.
“You killed the Three Great Elders of the Immortal Alliance?”
Wenren Jun was stunned upon hearing this.
“Yes, please don’t spread the word, or you’ll be in big trouble.”
Qi Huang warned “kindly.”
Wenren Jun and his son exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.
“You… you’re quite humorous. Unfortunately, no matter how… how humorous you are, you still have to go to the Immortal Alliance Main Altar with me, haha…”
Wenren Qing said while laughing.
“What’s so funny? Don’t you know how powerful my Junior Sister is!”
Ruan Lingyu frowned.
“Oh? How powerful is she?”
Wenren Qing asked in a teasing tone.
“Want to know?”
Qi Huang looked at Wenren Qing. Her powerful spiritual sense surged forward without warning, transforming into a strong hand that easily pierced through his protective spiritual sense, then gripped his neck and slowly lifted him up.
Wenren Qing’s laughter came to an abrupt halt, a lost expression on his face. For a moment, he even forgot to struggle.
Wenren Jun was also startled, his smile freezing on his face. After a long while, he reacted and moved his feet, about to stand up.
“Sit down.”
Qi Huang turned and commanded, simultaneously suppressing him with her spiritual sense, firmly pinning Wenren Jun to his chair.
Wenren Qing finally reacted and reflexively tried to struggle, but he couldn’t shake off the spiritual sense hand around his neck no matter how hard he tried. His body was already drenched in sweat.
“How is it? Do you know how strong I am now?”
Qi Huang teased.
“Laugh! Why aren’t you laughing anymore?”
Laugh? Why aren’t you laughing? Don’t you want to laugh?”
Shen Yuan asked, mimicking Qi Huang’s tone.
“Why are you speaking in Junior Sister’s tone?”
Ruan Lingyu teased.
“Because I think it’s more insulting this way.”
Shen Yuan said matter-of-factly.
The other Senior Sisters around them started laughing heartily.
Wenren Jun was furious. He also tried to struggle, but even with all his strength and spiritual sense, he couldn’t break free from Qi Huang’s oppressive force. A hint of fear gradually appeared on his face.
“Keep struggling, why aren’t you struggling anymore?”
Qi Huang then casually threw Wenren Qing to the ground.
“You… why are you so strong?”
Wenren Jun asked with a trembling voice.
“Are you qualified to question me?”
Qi Huang said disdainfully.
Wenren Jun was silent for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He quickly sought confirmation, “Is what you said earlier true? You killed three Elders of the Immortal Alliance?”
“Then what do you think is the origin of this raw seed?”
Qi Huang glanced at the Golden Life Flower Seed on the table.
“You’ve really brought terrible disaster upon our Wenren family.”
Wenren Jun then slumped back into his chair. He understood the consequences that would follow.
“Harm? Don’t put on an innocent expression!”
Qi Huang said disdainfully, “Do you think I don’t know your schemes and tricks? You insisted that the Golden Life Flower Seed was raw, forcing us to go to the Tencel Valley Treasure Land. The real purpose was to use us as scapegoats for those young ladies of your Wenren family, right? That’s why you were so disappointed when you saw us return safely!”
“You… how did you know?”
Wenren Jun trembled in fear.
