269: Mission accomplished? A bewildered Pavilion Master Chen

Su Yun waved his hand and said nonchalantly,

"No need to be so polite, it was just a small effort."

His main goal was to expose Ning Feng's act of saving the beauty.

"No, Young Master Su saved me, and I haven't properly thanked you yet!"

"Young Master Su, why don't you come with me to the Treasure Pavilion? I will treat you well!"

Seeing that Su Yun didn't immediately agree, Chu Ningyue became a bit anxious; she wanted to spend more time with him!

After all, Su Yun had saved her and exposed Ning Feng who was hiding in the shadows, just like in the storybooks she used to read.

Perhaps Su Yun was her destined Dao Companion!

Although they had only just met, she was very satisfied with Su Yun.

Moreover, the way Su Yun looked at her was incredibly clear, unlike the looks she got from others before; he was definitely an upright gentleman.

Then, she moved with graceful steps to Su Yun's side and said again:

"Young Master Su,"

"There are many Heaven And Earth Treasures in our Treasure Pavilion's treasury. I'll let you take your pick as a token of my gratitude."

"Also, in two days, the Yanguang Mountain Secret Realm controlled by our Treasure Pavilion will open. No one can enter without the Treasure Pavilion's permission."

"If you're interested, Young Master, you can come along too."

"Yanguang Mountain Secret Realm?"

Su Yun looked at Chu Ningyue and asked with interest.

Chu Ningyue pouted and stomped her foot, thinking to herself:

"Is this Young Miss's charm not even as great as a Secret Realm slot?"

"Alright then, I'll have to trouble you, Miss Chu."

Su Yun nodded and said.

He still had to go to the Treasure Pavilion, after all, there was an Opportunity inside the Central Domain's Treasure Pavilion treasury.

And since Yanguang Mountain required the Treasure Pavilion's permission to enter, he definitely had to make a trip there.

"By the way, Miss Chu, I noticed two people fighting at the entrance of the dense forest earlier."

"Both are at the Integration Stage, Tenth Layer Realm."

"I expect they are still fighting now."

Su Yun added.

"It must be Aunt Zhao!"

"Let's get out of here quickly!"

Chu Ningyue's beautiful eyes flickered as she spoke with some excitement.

Then, the three of them turned into streaks of light and flew toward the entrance of the dense forest... the eastern entrance.

"This woman is really hard to deal with."

The Black-clothed Cultivator at the Integration Stage, Tenth Layer Realm grumbled.

He had only managed to temporarily trap Zhao Zhi by constantly manipulating a Formation and releasing various wind-attribute Spells.

Because Zhao Zhi's strength was extremely formidable, he had been injured several times and had to consume many Medicinal Pills to suppress his injuries.

Then, he released his Divine Sense again, preparing to take out a healing elixir from his Storage Ring to continue suppressing his wounds, but when his Divine Sense entered his Storage Ring, he was stunned.

He discovered that the Soul Tablets of his dozen or so subordinates in his Storage Ring were all shattered.

"Wasn't this supposed to be an act?"

"How could Ning Feng be so ruthless?"

"Did he really kill all dozen of his subordinates?"

Previously, to prevent Zhao Zhi's Divine Sense from detecting anything wrong, he had specifically told his subordinates to lie in ambush deep within the eastern forest, far from the entrance.

After all, his subordinates were only at the first or second layer of the Soul Transformation Realm, unlike him; even if they hid their aura, they would be detected by the Divine Sense of an Dao Integration Realm Cultivator, so he had taken this precaution.

This resulted in even him being unable to use his Divine Sense to probe the specific situation deep within the eastern forest.

However, as long as the mission was accomplished, it was fine.

It was time to retreat.

Thinking of this, the Black-clothed Cultivator began his final performance:

"Curse it, my subordinates were actually killed!"

"Mission failed!"

"I will definitely be back next time!"

His tone was ferocious as he instantly circulated all the Spiritual Qi in his body, releasing a sky-covering storm to attack Zhao Zhi once more, before vanishing from the spot in a flash.

"Great, it seems the Young Miss is fine!"

"Someone saved the Young Miss!"

Zhao Zhi waved her hands, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi instantly gathered, releasing a deluge of rocks that broke through the surrounding storm.

Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

Immediately, she turned into a streak of light and rushed into the dense forest.

An hour later, Zhao Zhi finally met the three people heading out of the forest.

"Young Miss, it's all my fault for being held up outside."

"Allowing you to be attacked!"

Zhao Zhi said with some self-reproach.

Chu Ningyue comforted her:

"I'm fine, Aunt Zhao."

"It was Young Master Su next to me who saved me."

"And I suspect this attack might be related to Ning Feng!"

"Ning Feng? That young pavilion master?"

Zhao Zhi's expression turned grave.

"I will report this to the Chief Pavilion Master immediately."

She took out a Jade Slip and sent a transmission, then said to Su Yun with great gratitude:

"Thank you, Young Master Su, for saving the Young Miss!"

"It was a small matter."

Su Yun said directly.

"Young Miss, I think this matter is very likely related to the Branch Pavilion Master as well."

"Once we return to Wanbao City, you shouldn't leave the Treasure Pavilion for the time being."

"Even if the Branch Pavilion Master wants to move against you again, he won't be able to do it inside the Treasure Pavilion."

"Furthermore, the Chief Pavilion Master will soon send people to protect you."

Zhao Zhi said seriously.

"Alright, Aunt Zhao, I'll listen to you!"

Chu Ningyue lowered her head and said obediently.

She had learned her lesson this time.

She had been too careless; had she known, she should have confirmed the rumors about the Heaven And Earth Treasure appearing.

She would definitely not make such a low-level mistake next time.

A moment later, Chu Ningyue smiled and said softly to Su Yun:

"Young Master Su, our Treasure Pavilion..."

Xiaodie and Zhao Zhi shook their heads helplessly.

Their Young Miss was like this; her personality was lively and spirited, and even after such an event, she could quickly adjust her mood as if nothing had happened.

Soon after, the four of them flew toward Wanbao City... Wanbao City.

Treasure Pavilion.

Inside a luxurious room.

Chen Yan sat leisurely in a chair, holding a teacup and slowly sipping tea.

"The plan should be almost fully implemented by now."

"Ning Feng, don't let me down!"

After a while, a figure appeared in the room.

It was that Black-clothed Cultivator at the Integration Stage, Tenth Layer Realm.

"How did it go?"

Chen Yan said with narrowed eyes.

The Black-clothed Cultivator lowered his head and said respectfully:

"Reporting to My Lord, it's done, but my dozen or so subordinates were all killed by Ning Feng."

"It's good that it's finished. Ning Feng probably killed your subordinates to make it look more realistic."

"Well done, I will reward you well."

Chen Yan said with some excitement.

The first step of the plan was finally complete.

It seemed the day he would become the Chief Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion was just around the corner!

Just then, a disheveled figure suddenly rushed into the room.

"Who is it?"

The Black-clothed Cultivator immediately blocked the way, looking warily at the person who had suddenly burst in.

"Ning Feng? Why are you back?"

"Aren't you supposed to be with Miss Chu?"

The Black-clothed Cultivator looked closely and was immediately dumbfounded.

And Chen Yan, sitting behind him, was also dumbfounded.

That's not right!

"Wasn't the plan successful?"

"Why is Ning Feng back now?"

This plan of his could be said to be foolproof, and he had even sent many Cultivators to ensure its perfect implementation, so it shouldn't have failed!
