107: Zhang Xuelan eavesdropping
Three days later, Li Yanfeng and Wang Pingfeng were redeemed by Heavenly Snow Mountain at the cost of significant resources.
With the Ling Clan of Zhongzhou backing him, neither the Flying Fox Sect nor the Eagle Sect dared to act recklessly.
Only Zhang Xuelan was still being detained in Villa No. 9.
"Miss Zhang, this won't do. Your junior brothers, junior sisters, and senior sisters haven't come to redeem you," Ling Xian said indifferently while brewing tea over a stove.
"How about staying by my side and working for me?"
Zhang Xuelan remained silent, her heart filled with confusion.
Just then, Lan Dieyin pushed the door open and entered.
Ling Xian was somewhat surprised, a playful smile on his lips. "Miss Blue, long time no see. Have some tea."
Lan Dieyin smiled faintly and sat down gracefully to drink tea. "Release my senior sister."
"Don't be in such a hurry, Miss Blue." Ling Xian waved his hand. Ling Wu and the Hidden Guards were all on high alert in the shadows.
"If you don't have any chips in your hand, why should I release her?"
Zhang Xuelan's expression was solemn. She didn't understand what Lan Dieyin intended to do; she knew how formidable Ling Xian was.
On her own, she couldn't possibly take Lan Dieyin and leave.
"Ling Xian, for my sake..." Lan Dieyin hesitated for a moment, a hint of indecision appearing between her brows.
"For your sake? Heh..." Ling Xian sneered. "How many resources is your 'sake' worth?"
He didn't give Lan Dieyin any face at all. Although he had taken advantage of her before, it was Lan Dieyin who had made the first move.
The scene fell into a temporary deadlock.
Lan Dieyin was also helpless.
In reality, after descending the mountain, neither the junior brothers nor the senior sisters had any extra cultivation resources.
"Are you really going to be this heartless?" Lan Dieyin gritted her teeth and asked one last time, her hands clenched, hating herself for being so useless.
"It's already good enough that I'm not keeping you here. Your senior sister attacked me, so naturally, she must pay the price." Ling Xian's words were cold and heartless.
The deal ended in failure.
As Lan Dieyin left, she gave her Sixth Senior Sister a reassuring look.
But that look couldn't be hidden.
Shortly after Lan Dieyin left, Zhang Xuelan spoke up.
"Release me, or my Qingxin Sect will not let you off!" Zhang Xuelan was full of pride, refusing to soften her stance or beg for mercy even as a prisoner.
"Can the Qingxin Sect just bully people at will without paying a price?" Ling Xian countered, his voice tinged with sarcasm.
"You..." Zhang Xuelan was at a loss for words, unable to respond.
At this moment, she was indeed in the wrong.
"Releasing me will only bring you benefits and no harm. The goodwill of my Qingxin Sect is worth a hundred or a thousand times more than any resources." Zhang Xuelan showed a slight sign of softening.
Hearing this, Ling Xian felt an inexplicable urge to laugh. While the Qingxin Sect was indeed a major sect, it depended on who they were being compared to.
The Ling Clan of Zhongzhou was not weaker than any major sect; there was no doubt about that.
Moreover, Ling Xian actually hoped that the Sect Leader of the Qingxin Sect and those senior sisters would all jump out one by one.
"Miss Xuelan, I've provided you with food and lodging during this time. You can't possibly expect to pay no price at all, can you?" Ling Xian smiled, a smile that looked as terrifying as a demon's in Zhang Xuelan's eyes.
"How do you have the face to say that!" Zhang Xuelan gritted her teeth.
He did provide food and lodging, but asking for resources was too much.
For food, Ling Xian ate lavish meals while she could only gnaw on steamed buns and pickles.
For lodging, Ling Xian stayed in a luxury villa with a large private room, indulging in pleasure every night, while she could only sleep in a storage room, forced to listen to the sounds of Ling Xian's activities, making it impossible to sleep.
Furthermore, her nose was sensitive, and she could always faintly catch a mysterious scent on those women.
"I don't care about that. In any case, you've eaten and stayed here." Ling Xian had plenty of patience for Zhang Xuelan; he didn't believe those senior sisters and Su Ran wouldn't come to the rescue.
[Hades Qi Xiu has returned to the country!]
[Due to the butterfly effect, Qi Xiu's plot has changed slightly. Spend 5,000 points to view the plot?]
Ling Xian's hand holding the tea paused, and he then looked at the illusion dream and said, "View!"
Subsequently, a wave of information flooded his mind. Hades Qi Xiu was one of the overlords of the overseas underground world.
This time, he returned to the country for two reasons: first, to develop in the Dragon Country, fulfilling his master's wish.
Second, to treat the illness of his confidante, Su Ruoxue, the eldest miss of the Su Family of the Magic Capital.
Finally, he would develop in the Dragon Country and lead the Hades organization to its peak!
Interestingly, Su Ruoxue didn't know Qi Xiu; she had only given him a piece of candy when they were children.
Now, Su Ruoxue was poisoned and unconscious, requiring medical treatment.
And this Su Ruoxue was the very woman Ling Xian had accidentally had a relationship with in the Magic Capital.
"Interesting! Interesting, truly too interesting!" Ling Xian murmured to himself, starting to feel some anticipation.
"illusion dream, open the panel!"

"Ling Wu!" Ling Xian called out.
The next moment, Ling Wu appeared before Ling Xian.
"Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Help me make an appointment with Wei Zhiruo."
Ling Wu didn't understand why, but he still nodded heavily and went to carry out the task.
Hearing this, Zhang Xuelan became somewhat displeased. "Ling Xian, you are rotten to the core. What are you trying to do?"
Facing Zhang Xuelan's meddling, Ling Xian directly grabbed her wrist and pulled her forcefully into his arms.
"What am I doing?" Ling Xian said coldly, "I'm going to find your senior sister for medical treatment. Is that not allowed?"
Being suddenly pulled into his arms, Zhang Xuelan was a bit flustered, but she still said stubbornly, "Medical treatment? You have Senior Living Dead; why do you need my senior sister?"
"Haha, you're truly ridiculous." Ling Xian sneered and mocked, "I can't even see your senior sister for an illness?"
Zhang Xuelan also knew she just couldn't stand Ling Xian's attitude.
Moreover, she felt that Ling Xian definitely had no good intentions and must be plotting something against her senior sister.
"If you want to do something, do it to me. You're not allowed to touch my senior sister!"
"I haven't even mentioned you yet." Ling Xian changed the subject, and Zhang Xuelan's expression changed.
"I... what about me?"
"You really like eavesdropping, don't you? Your ears are quite sharp. Even with the soundproofing in this villa being so good, you can still hear so clearly? Tsk, tsk, tsk~"
Ling Xian shook his head and sighed. "I didn't expect a dignified disciple of the Qingxin Sect to enjoy eavesdropping."
"You... you're talking nonsense! I didn't! You're lying! I'll sue you for slander! You're slandering me!" Zhang Xuelan was exasperated. She broke free from Ling Xian's restraint and pointed at him, roaring.
Ling Xian shrugged. "Fine, let's treat that as settled. Then why are you always leaning close to my women to smell them?"
He didn't choose to cover for Zhang Xuelan; instead, he bluntly spoke of her special hobby.
"Women smell good, they have a body fragrance. I like it," Zhang Xuelan argued stubbornly.
"Then why do you lean so close to me every day to smell me? Do I have a body fragrance too?" Ling Xian's tone was playful, his gaze fixed directly on Zhang Xuelan.
Who would have thought that a dignified disciple of the Qingxin Sect would actually be a perverted lecher?
