Li Qingfeng struggled for a long time but couldn’t even muster a fart, doing the work of a Sect Elder but in reality not even counting as an Inner Sect Disciple.
“Thank you, Sect Master.”
Nie Jun withdrew his gaze, once again bowing with hands clasped towards Shen Yi.
The hesitation in his eyes, however, did not fade away, seemingly not solely related to cultivation matters.
“We went to Taoyuan Manor, and this is the tribute they gave.”
Finally getting to the matter at hand, Nie Jun placed two Storage Bags in front of Shen Yi.
At this point, the several administering disciples also stood tall and proud, having managed to collect a tribute on their very first mission.
Moreover, it was from Taoyuan Manor, a power just one level below the highest-ranked four families.
“If the Sect Master has no further instructions, I would like to go back and look over the Dao Pillar method.”
Nie Jun respectfully took his leave, but before he could turn around, he was called back.
“There’s nothing else?” Shen Yi toyed with the two Storage Treasures, his tone indifferent.
The administering disciples who were about to leave were all visibly puzzled and then stood firm again.
Only Nie Jun slowly clenched the Mysterious Sword at his waist.
He fell silent for a long time, his eyes revealing a sharp glint, and then turned to walk up to Shen Yi, crouched down, and gently separated the two Storage Treasures, pointing to them one by one, “This is the tribute… and this, is their blood money.”
“Whose life is being bought?”
Shen Yi calmly stood up, patting his garment.
He had sensed since just now that something was troubling Nie Jun’s mind, as if a sharp sword, for some inexplicable reason, had been sheathed.
“…”
Nie Jun let out a long breath: “Someone has seen what lies inside the Nanyang Treasure Land, aware of the existence of entities like Great Qian. Taoyuan Manor needs many, many lives, an uncountable number, so they approached me, hoping I could send some their way. This is only the first batch.”
“I wanted to fight, but I couldn’t beat them.”
Nie Jun’s tone suddenly became much more subdued.
Li Qingfeng was taken aback as he looked over; everyone knew Brother Nie’s temperament—he never cared about whether he could win a fight or not.
If it weren’t for being beaten half to death in the past, he wouldn’t have become a disciple of Wutong Mountain.
Nor would he have accepted the other party’s items.
Saying he couldn’t win… probably he was just worried about causing trouble for Sect Master Shen.
“The Seven Sons Meeting is still two months away. I wanted to wait until after the event to report back to the Sect Master.” Nie Jun gave a self-mocking smile, nearly crushing his sword-gripping fingers.
He had finally become the very type of person he despised the most.
Thinking about the bigger picture, caring about those ass-backwards matters.
Even the temperament his master couldn’t change, after following Shen Yi, had gradually started to change.
By the time Nie Jun finished speaking,
the expressions of several administering disciples from Qinghai Prefecture and the Chen family had become somewhat uncomfortable.
Although they didn’t know what exactly Taoyuan Manor was up to, the fact that they approached Nie Jun, who seemed to have the lowest Boundary, indicated that they didn’t want Nanyang Sect to know about their activities.
Believing that with Nie Jun’s strength, he couldn’t possibly come into contact with the real major figures of Nanyang Sect.
In any case, it was linked to the lives of mortals.
If the news got out, it would be the reputation of the Immortal Sect that was tarnished.
But they could understand Nie Jun’s considerations; at least for these two months, Shen Yi needed stability more than anything, and it would be best if even the Nanyang Sect didn’t have to be involved.
The Seven Sons Meeting was of utmost importance.
However, they failed to notice that Li Qingfeng’s face had suddenly turned deathly pale: “Heavens!”
Given his understanding of Shen Yi.
It was over, something big was about to happen!
Indeed, just as Li Qingfeng had expected,
Shen Yi didn’t make everyone wait for long, he casually glanced at Nie Jun,
and then flicked his finger against the sword pendant around his waist, which transformed into a streak of light and landed at his feet.
His calm voice resonated around.
“Lead the way.”
