Chapter 388: 214, Open Strategy and Survival After Being Placed in a Desperate Situation_2
Who knows what this crazy woman will do next?
“Young, Young Master.”
Wen Ying approached him, trembling.
Mo Xianxian, her face deathly pale, did not look at her but instead looked towards Tian Liuli and Xu Yuan, smiling faintly as she softly said, “Well, now... are you satisfied?”
Xu Yuan was silent for a long time, unsure of what to say.
He had already made up his mind that after killing the person, he would quickly flee from here.
...
Although the Demon Sect dominated the Black Horn Domain, the situation here was still chaotic.
As long as he found a tiny corner to hide in, coupled with the “Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Sea” that could conceal Heaven’s Secret,
unless a Return to Void Great Divine Communicator took action immediately, it would be quite easy to hide for a few years.
The smile on her face did not seem fake, and her expression was very sincere.
“Thank you.”
Xu Yuan said, bracing himself.
Tian Liuli remained silent.
Even she could never have imagined that Mo Xianxian would actually pay such a hefty price for him.
What, then, was the purpose?
“Since that’s the case, can Mr. Xu now sit down and talk calmly?”
Mo Xianxian said indifferently.
Compared to others, she, as the instigator, didn’t seem worried at all about being blamed by her sect’s three Return to Void Elders.
“Since Mr. Mo has said this, how could I possibly refuse,” Xu Yuan replied with a bitter smile.
“Very well, let’s meet in the City Lord’s Mansion in three hours,” Mo Xianxian said, revealing a contented smile.
Perhaps to the outside world, this deal seemed like a loss for her, yet she alone felt it was a gain.
Three hours, huh?
Xu Yuan thought silently.
The reason it was three hours, he supposed, was the time she needed to work on persuading the Lord of Xunyang City.
As the group dispersed, the crowd present also gradually scattered.
They knew that, barring any accidents, in the coming days, Xunyang City would become the center of attention in the entire Black Horn Domain.@@@@
In the small courtyard, a figure stood gracefully and aloof like a cloud.
Tian Liuli gazed at the clouds above, silent.
“What’s wrong?”
Xu Yuan seemed to have seen through her thoughts and asked.
“It’s nothing.”
She shook her head, but her face betrayed a deeply troubled expression.
“I was just thinking, her ambition must be significant.”
“What?”
Xu Yuan looked at her somewhat blankly.
“I was speaking of Mo Xianxian,” she clarified.
“Perhaps,” Xu Yuan sighed and said, “but after all, at the end of the day, we owe her a favor.”
That was also why he had just agreed to Mo Xianxian’s request.
“I never care about such things,” Tian Liuli said indifferently, “whether it’s a favor or feelings, in my view, they are ultimately trivial matters.”
“Is this what ‘Ascending Beyond All Attachments’ is? Then what about me?”
“What?”
Tian Liuli looked up at him, somewhat astonished.
In fact, it was possible to see quite a few people arguing so fiercely that they even started fighting.
Meanwhile, inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
The Lord of Xunyang City sat on the main seat with a grim look on his face.
Mo Xianxian sat below him, her expression indifferent, showing none of the anxiety typical before a great crisis.
“Mr. Mo, what exactly are you trying to do?”
The Lord of Xunyang City couldn’t hold back any longer and squeezed out the words through clenched teeth.
“Nothing.”
Mo Xianxian shook her head indifferently, “Haven’t I already told you? It’s to clean house.”
“Clean house?”
The Lord of Xunyang City sucked in a breath.
“At this point, you still...”
He was about to continue, but suddenly noticed the girl’s cold gaze.
“What has happened has happened, and I will bear all consequences. You need not worry.”
“Ah...”
The Lord of Xunyang City sighed deeply.
“Have you prepared the recommendation letter I asked for?”
Mo Xianxian asked.
“Yes, but it won’t be easy for him to become the new Saint Heir candidate.”
“I am well aware of that.”
Mo Xianxian’s expression remained calm.
The position of Saint Heir and other roles within the Demon Sect were entirely different concepts.
It required a nomination from an Elder or a City Lord, and recognition from at least one Return to Void elder to become official.”
This was why she needed him to make the nomination.
“Right.”
Mo Xianxian suddenly looked at him and asked, “My medicine, have you prepared it?”
“Medicine?”
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Xunyang City’s expression also turned strange.
If it had been before now, he might have thought the medicine was for some special plan she was preparing, as this crazy girl, why would she be interested in that sort of thing?
But after today’s events, he had come to understand.
The medicine, in fact, was prepared for Xu Yuan.
It seems being liked by her was not necessarily a good thing.
Even those matters were out of one’s hands.
“Ready.”
The Lord of Xunyang City didn’t want to deal with this crazy lady anymore; he just wanted to quietly wait for the higher-ups of the sect to arrive and handle the situation.
“As long as it’s prepared, go out and meanwhile, prepare a couple of clean rooms for me.”
“Yes.”
The Lord of Xunyang City gave a bitter smile.
A Primordial Spirit True Person, yet being ordered around by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he dared not voice any objections.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuan had also arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, whose defenses were several times tighter than usual.
He looked at the guards, about to speak, but the guards recognized him first and hurriedly bowed.
“Mr. Xu, the Young Master has been waiting for a long time, please! The banquet is ready in the main hall, just waiting for you.”
