151: Chapter 151 Loyalty? The benefits of betrayal alone are insufficient.
After chatting with Wen Fenglian for a long time, Min Qingrou urged her to get some rest, then walked out of the room.
Upon returning to her boudoir in the Qingfeng Pavilion.
Suddenly, a figure stepped out from the deep, dark shadows.
Judging by her figure, she was slim and graceful, with an exquisite face, and her cultivation had already reached the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.
This person was someone Min Qingrou had recruited after stepping foot into the Barren Northern Region.
Her name was Hua Linglong, and she was originally a descendant of a prominent Family in the Barren Northern Region.
Unfortunately, she suddenly encountered a great disaster, and her entire Family was slaughtered by an unknown force.
This caused what was originally a flourishing cultivation Family within the Barren Northern Region to be destroyed overnight.
Although Hua Linglong was temporarily spared because she was out on a trial, she was subjected to continuous pursuit by a special force.
When she was severely injured, Min Qingrou happened to rescue her.
However, because Min Qingrou could not gauge how powerful the force that had provoked her Family was, she could only hide her identity and keep her by her side, making her a shadow-like existence and an assistant to help her handle some unsavory matters.
"Sect Master, do you really intend to take her under your wing?"
"In my opinion, she is not someone who will follow us wholeheartedly," Hua Linglong analyzed.
"At this stage, her utility cannot be ignored," Min Qingrou said very straightforwardly. "By using her, we can mobilize some of the Blood Fiend Pavilion's resources for our own use."
Wen Fenglian's own strength and the talent she displayed were not considered top-tier in Min Qingrou's eyes, but they were not far behind.
She still had value to be cultivated.
As for the future, no one could foresee it.
After all, in this world, until the coffin is closed, who can say for sure?
If one had died back then, who would know the truth of one's life?
Judging by the current situation, as long as it is utilized properly, it will bring her rich returns.
"Then, will she be loyal to you in the future?" Hua Linglong asked.
"Loyalty? Heh! That is merely because the benefits brought by betrayal are not enough," Min Qingrou said indifferently.
Her tone was light, as if she didn't take such things to heart.
Her early experience as the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect told her that relying on anyone or anything was unreliable.
Thinking back, if she hadn't trusted the wrong person, the Heavenly Demon Sect's protective formation would not have been destroyed from the inside out by treacherous people.
This led to her becoming a prisoner, almost becoming a plaything at the mercy of others.
Fortunately, thanks to Gu Qingge's rescue, everything was spared from disaster.
At this thought, Min Qingrou's heartstrings were suddenly plucked.
Now, is he doing well?
After all, when she resolutely decided to betray the Min Family, all the pressure was placed on Gu Qingge.
"With this plan, I can use the Blood Fiend Pavilion's strength and influence in the Barren Northern Region to quickly take root."
In Min Qingrou's heart, ten thousand layers of surging clouds already flashed by.
The Nine Heavens God-Demon Continent will be the place where she completely rises!
One day, the Moon God Sect will also, under her leadership, become a super power standing proudly in all directions.
And when facing danger, she won't need to risk her life or gamble with luck.
...
Baihuang Prefecture, Fenghua Banquet.
This banquet was hosted by the Prodigy of Baihuang Prefecture, Shen Wulei.
The invited guests were all famous prodigies from within the Baihuang Prefecture.
In the middle of the banquet, someone said to the table beside him:
"Brother Qian, I heard that Min Qingrou of the Min Family is a stunning beauty who can be called a peerless temptress."
"If you don't take her into your inner chambers, wouldn't it be a waste of time and a tragic loss of affection?"
Just then, a cold voice suddenly spread from another direction.
"She is mine."
Looking over, it was discovered that the person had an exquisite appearance, and his whole body exuded a cold, desolate aura of autumn wind and profound killing intent.
His entire demeanor could be compared to a war god who had fought on a hundred battlefields, where the success of one general is built upon ten thousand withered bones.
At the same time, another gloomy and sinister voice sounded from the side.
"She is crucial to me, and I absolutely will not allow her to be lost," Young Master Qian Mingyuan retorted without the slightest fear.
Even though the other party's cultivation Realm had entered the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage.
And he was only at the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.
But as a member of the Qian Family, he could not bow down to the Zhang Family, which was of equal status.
"I'm telling you, don't you dare have any designs on her. If Rou'er falls into your hands, she will definitely be toyed with by that old bastard, your father!"
The person who spoke was the Prodigy son of the Zhang Family, Zhang Tianyi.
At the same time, he was also Min Qingrou's former fiancé.
However, because Min Qingrou fled the marriage, it invisibly slapped the Zhang Family in the face and angered the Zhang Family's elders, causing their marriage to be declared void from then on.
However, the matter did not end there.
The Zhang Family didn't care.
But Zhang Tianyi did care.
Because he had already fallen in love, how could it be changed by a few words from those high-ranking Family members?
Although, after this, the Zhang Family also found a new Dao Companion for him as an object for a marriage alliance.
But he still couldn't walk out of the fantasy of being with Min Qingrou.
In the past, that one fleeting glance seemed to be the Reincarnation of a thousand lifetimes flowing through his heart, softening the years and conquering a heart that had only ever sought the Dao of immortality.
It made him realize that there was actually a kind of tribulation in this world called the Inner Demon Tribulation.
Even when Min Qingrou fled the Min Family, it once made him fall into self-doubt: was it that his strength couldn't provide her with a sense of security, that she didn't look up to him?
For this reason, he even ventured alone into one of the ten most dangerous places in the Baihuang Prefecture, the Myriad Ghost Demon Domain.
When he walked out of it, his cultivation had already entered the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage!
Just one step away from reaching the Body Integration Stage.
"Heh, what's the rush? Don't you know? She had long since been engaged in illicit affairs with others in Lingzhou and returned to the Min Family pregnant."
"Although after my Qian Family's meticulous investigation, we still haven't found any clues."
"But precisely because of that, the secrets she hides must be significant."
"Are you looking for death?!" A flash of murderous intent instantly appeared in Zhang Tianyi's eyes, and his tone also became as gloomy and cold as surging waves. "Don't forget, in a while, your Qian Family will also have to enter that Secret Realm."
"Don't think that these threats of yours can make me feel even a trace of fear. I tell you, as a prominent Family of the Baihuang Prefecture, my Qian Family is not a bit inferior to your Zhang Family!" Young Master Qian Mingyuan slapped the table, immediately attracting the gazes of everyone present.
"This ungrateful woman! She indirectly ruined my entire plan!" Young Master Qian Mingyuan had long since lost his devil-may-care demeanor, replaced by an expression of extreme anger, and he was roaring in his heart in frustration.
According to his original plan, he was to take Min Qingrou down and then use the Three Thousand Illusory Demon Body she possessed as an aid to seize the Secret Sect technique he had obtained in one fell swoop.
In this way, he would definitely be able to gain the appreciation and favor of the Family's Supreme Elder.
The Qian Family's power would no longer be completely controlled by his father, the Family Head.
However, he didn't expect Min Qingrou to escape again.
And, the Min Family actually failed to stop her this time.
If he had the strength to crush everything at this moment, he would definitely visit the Min Family in person, point at the head of the Min Family Head, and question him: "Are you a piece of trash? Is it that hard to keep an eye on a woman at the Nascent Soul Stage?"
However, he didn't have that kind of strength right now.
Even if he were to go to the Min Family to settle scores, he would still have to be polite and keep his tail tucked.
Otherwise, it's very likely that the people of the Min Family wouldn't understand his words of accusation, but they would know a thing or two about martial arts.
In that case, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
