106: Chapter 106 Hu Changqing's Plan B

"Hu Changqing, you're truly useless. You can fail at something this simple. It's a waste of how much the Guardian valued you." At this moment, a figure clad in blood-red sat on a tree branch, her eyes filled with allure. Her blood-red gauze dress perfectly outlined her voluptuous figure, every curve seemingly meticulously sculpted, carrying a fatal temptation.

Hu Changqing glanced at the woman in red on the tree with annoyance. "Lian Chilu, whether I succeed or not is not for you to comment on. Mind your own business."

Hu Changqing snorted coldly and looked at the others, explaining, "Everyone, the plan to infiltrate the Meng Family has failed, and it's not my fault. That Chen Family Alchemist was actually willing to offer 999 Qi Gathering Pills and 50 First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans as a betrothal gift."

"With such a betrothal gift, who wouldn't be moved? Otherwise, with my qualifications, how could I possibly fail by being willing to marry into a small Family like the Meng Family?"

Lian Chilu leaped lightly from the tree branch, her body twisting like a snake. She approached Hu Changqing step by step, her eyes full of mockery: "Oh, failure is failure. What excuses are you making? If the Guardian had let me go seduce Meng Yunfan back then, I would have succeeded long ago. Why would I be here listening to the commands of a useless person like you?"

"You..."

Hu Changqing suppressed the anger in his heart, his fists clenched, as if he would explode in the next second.

At this moment, a hunched old woman spoke in a hoarse voice: "Young Hu, Plan B is too risky. Once the Chen Family discovers it, all of us here will be finished. The Chen Family is, after all, the lord of the Qingya Mountain Range, and their strength cannot be underestimated."

Upon hearing this, the others all showed worried expressions in their eyes.

Hu Changqing sneered: "Old Woman He Qian, you're scared now, but it's too late for you to leave. Don't forget, our lives are all in the Guardian's hands. If we don't complete the mission, we'll wish we were dead. Don't say I didn't warn you."

The old woman remained silent, clearly hit where it hurt by Hu Changqing's words. At this moment, a burly man among them couldn't help but curse: "That Meng Changxiu is truly blind! He rejected our excellent conditions and chose that Chen Family brat! Once Plan B is implemented, we'll have no turning back."

Hu Changqing's gaze was sinister, and he said coldly: "No turning back? We never had a way back. We can only act according to the Guardian's instructions."

Hu Changqing's face was gloomy and he was restless. He had originally intended to infiltrate the Meng Family silently by marrying in, but now that Chen Jiancang had interfered, the original perfect plan was completely ruined. Now he had no choice but to take risks and proceed with Plan B.

"Since that's the case, this old woman will obey the order." A sinister look appeared in Old Woman He Qian's eyes.

Hu Changqing paced back and forth, thinking about the key points of the plan's execution: "These past few days, I've invested quite a bit in Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan. It's time for them to repay me."

"I'll go invite them out first."

"Lian Chilu, this matter still requires your cooperation, but you need to restrain that seductive charm of yours. No one likes you looking like that." Hu Changqing looked at Lian Chilu's provocative demeanor with disgust.

"What look am I giving, my dear?" Lian Chilu asked with a giggle, her tongue flicking out like a snake's, her seductive eyes staring intently at Hu Changqing, as if they could drip water.

"Hmph, I'll go invite them out. As long as you can quietly take them out of the Small Jade Mountain area, our plan will be seventy percent complete." Hu Changqing couldn't be bothered to deal with Lian Chilu. He knew that the more he showed his dislike, the more delighted Lian Chilu would be.

Lian Chilu didn't take Hu Changqing's offense to heart and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't worry, I'm not as useless as you are. As long as you bring the people here, I can complete the mission."

At this moment, the Meng Family's spiritual land was decorated with lanterns and streamers, filled with a festive atmosphere. As a disciple of the upper sect Chen Family and a First Order Alchemist, Chen Jiancang was surrounded by the younger generation of the Meng Family.

Chen Jiancang took out the extra Qi Gathering Pills he had refined and distributed one to each person. Fortunately, there were not many young disciples in the Meng Family, only a few dozen. Besides Meng Qingwan, Meng Yunfan, and Meng Yunxuan, the others were all young children who hadn't yet come of age.

"Thank you, Brother-in-law."

"Thank you, Brother-in-law." A Qi Gathering Pill was a rare treasure for these children in the low stages of Qi Refining. Normally, they only had the chance to get one for free each year.

At this moment, their eyes looking at Chen Jiancang were filled with admiration.

Meng Yunfan and Meng Yunxuan also received gifts from Chen Jiancang at this time, but unlike the others, they received 5 Qi Gathering Pills.

Just then, a rogue cultivator who had been recruited as a servant by the Meng Family quickly walked up to Meng Yunfan, leaned in and whispered in his ear: "Young Master, Fellow Daoist Hu has asked you to meet him outside the mountain gate."

"Hu Changqing? He hasn't left yet?" Meng Yunfan asked with some confusion. A couple of days ago, Hu Changqing had come to the Meng Family and mingled with the younger generation.

Meng Yunfan admitted that Hu Changqing was very skilled in the ways of social interaction. In just a few days, he had become familiar with everyone in the Meng Family. This person was very sociable and, although a rogue cultivator, was extremely generous.

In just a few days, the spiritual stones Hu Changqing had invested in the younger generation of the Meng Family were no less than a hundred.

Meng Yunfan smacked his lips, reminiscing about the alluring appearances of the celestial beauties at the Hongxiang Tower.

If Hu Changqing hadn't taken him to experience it, he wouldn't even have known that there was such a wonderful thing in this world.

However, in Meng Yunfan's opinion, Chen Jiancang was more suitable to be his brother-in-law. Hu Changqing was too cunning and had too strong an agenda, making people hesitant to get too close to him.

"What does he want with me?" Meng Yunfan scratched his forehead and looked up to see his younger brother, Meng Yunxuan, approaching with a sneaky look.

"Big Brother, Fellow Daoist Hu wants to meet you and me at the mountain gate." Meng Yunxuan looked around, saw that everyone in the Family was gathered around Chen Jiancang, and a frivolous expression appeared on his face. He leaned in and whispered to Meng Yunfan: "Fellow Daoist Hu said he found a stunning beauty and wants us to go and appreciate her together."

"This... isn't it inappropriate..." Meng Yunfan pretended to be righteous and wanted to refuse.

"Big Brother, if you're not going, I'll go first." Meng Yunxuan's face showed an impatient look. The Meng Family had strict rules for unmarried disciples, but ever since being taken by Hu Changqing to experience something as wonderful as a celestial being, Meng Yunxuan had developed a taste for it and couldn't forget that feeling.

At this moment, when he heard that Hu Changqing had prepared a stunning beauty, he was already itching with anticipation and wanted to see her quickly.

"Alas, it's a pity that my Meng Family only has Qingwan as a suitable age woman, otherwise Fellow Daoist Hu could have become a noble son-in-law of our Meng Family."

Meng Yunfan said with feigned regret: "Forget it, I'll see Fellow Daoist Hu one more time. Although we can't become Family, it's not bad to become close friends."
