Chapter 127: Chapter 25: The Anger of the Eldest Lady [Additional for Alliance Hierarch "OnePiece, Fine Wine"]_1

"You again?"

In front of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, Elder Cang Xing instantly showed a hint of fury in his eyes when he saw Wenren Mo again.

Xu Hongqiu had already instructed him earlier that if this man entangled her again, he could treat him harshly. He had been harsh enough last time, he didn’t expect that it hadn’t driven him away.

"Senior!" Wenren Mo immediately raised his hands, shouting, "I have crucial evidence that can help solve the case of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall!"

"What kind of evidence?" Elder Cang Xing’s palm power was gathering, just waiting for Wenren Mo to say something wrong, and then he would immediately strike heavily.

He was not as kind to everyone as he was to Empress Feng.

"It’s definitely crucial physical evidence, I would like to present it to Miss Xu myself." Wenren Mo smiled, "Please pass the word."

After some consideration, Elder Cang Xing had a subordinate notify Xu Hongqiu. After a short while, Wenren Mo was invited upstairs.

Wenren Mo finally got his wish and was able to sit face-to-face with Xu Hongqiu.

As for his pestering, Xu Hongqiu was really fed up with it. As the young miss of the Whale Guild, she held high status, was beautiful, and had strong cultivation. There were loads of people like him who wanted to get close to her.

At first, Xu Hongqiu would kindly refuse, but she quickly realized that was useless. Those people only saw her kindness as encouragement and increased their harassment. After trying to scare them off harshly, those people actually liked her even more. Some even begged her to hit them...

For such requests, Xu Hongqiu of course obliged, not by doing it herself, but by having an angry Elder Cang Xing to do it.

Looking at Wenren Mo, her face was still as cold as ice, "I hear you have important evidence related to the inner workings of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall to give me?"

"Yes."

In front of her, Wenren Mo didn’t show much emotion. He just nodded slightly and casually placed the ledger obtained from the treasure on the table.

Xu Hongqiu flipped through it and her pupils slightly contracted. The contents indeed could completely resolve the case of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, it wasn’t a bluff.

After a long while, she raised her head to look at Wenren Mo: "Where did you get this from?"

Wenren Mo smiled: "I have quite a wide network, one of my friends knew about my feelings for Miss Xu, so he brought it to me."

"Which friend? How did they get it? Can you explain in detail?" Xu Hongqiu continued to inquire.

"He didn’t go into details, all I know is that he is a friend from the Shu Mountain Sect, I think he obtained it accidentally..." Before Wenren Mo could finish his sentence, he saw Xu Hongqiu’s face change.

"Chu Liang?" She asked hesitantly.

Because there shouldn’t be many people from the Shu Mountain Sect in Taotie City, she immediately thought of the master-student pair.

"Miss Xu knows him too?" Wenren Mo asked back, feeling that Xu Hongqiu’s reaction was a bit strange, as if there was a story he didn’t know about...

"So, it was him." Xu Hongqiu murmured after taking a moment, her brows suddenly furrowing.

Earlier, she had been pondering why Chu Liang would choose to send this through Wenren Mo instead of presenting it when he came to visit earlier.

This item could evidently have immediately condemned Xu Nanling!

But soon, she figured it out.

It was all deliberate on Chu Liang’s part!

If he had brought out this item when he came for revenge, it certainly would have exposed Xu Nanling’s guilt and provided a death sentence.

She wouldn’t have protected him any longer!

To bring justice for the master and student, she might have directly executed Xu Nanling. In this way, not only would they be vindicated, but it would also help the Whale Guild clean house.

But if that happened, they wouldn’t be able to blackmail them...

A guilty Xu Nanling wasn’t valuable. But an innocent Xu Nanling, she would have to protect, allowing them to extort a Fifth Stage demon beast from her.

Then, when it seemed like the situation had passed, they would bring out this piece of evidence. As soon as she saw it, Xu Nanling would inevitably face death again.

Their revenge would still be served.

This way, it was like they had simply swindled a Fifth Stage demon beast from the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall.

"Chu Liang..."

As she muttered this name, she felt a mixture of emotions. Although he had helped her eliminate the mole and solve the case of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, she couldn’t help but feel... not entirely happy.

Hearing Xu Hongqiu repeating Chu Liang’s name in her presence, Wenren Mo blinked and boasted, "No matter how Brother Chu got it, I also made substantial sacrifices to get this account book. The treasure I gave him..."

"What?" Xu Hongqiu was surprised again, "You exchanged a treasure for this account book?"

"Yeah, who gives anything for free..." said Wenren Mo.

Xu Hongqiu had thought that Chu Liang would send over the evidence after exploiting the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall. Did he manage to trade this piece of evidence for a treasure too?

She has a vendetta against Xu Nanling and this evidence is crucial. Yet he made a profit, even in handing it over.

Really...

Remembering their departing figures earlier, in hindsight, they were no less than a young fox and a big tiger.

The fists of the Whale Guild’s lady clenched, teeth gnashing, and the two words "Chu Liang" hummed from her nose.

...

"Ah-choo... Ah-choo... Ah-choo!"

Chu Liang sneezed three times in a row, rubbed his nose, confusedly glanced towards the distance, and then walked through the main gate of the First Class Sword Cottage.

Returning to the Sword Cottage and not finding Empress Feng, he went to the front hall to ask Xu Sui, "Big Brother Xu, where’s my master?"

"Empress Feng..." Xu Sui replied somewhat coyly, "She is picking a fight with the Golden Fur Beast on the back mountain."

"What?"

Challenging the beast alone?

What in the world is happening now?

Chu Liang rushed to the back mountain in haste, but he didn’t catch the fight. Instead, he found a scene of master-beast affection.

He saw Empress Feng raising her hand, smiles brimming in her eyes as she greeted, "Shake hands, yes, left hand! Come...sit! Roll over!"

In front of her, a massive body over ten feet tall was rolling over obediently, with its golden fur reflecting her every command, and a flattering smile on its face brimming with big bumps.

Actually, when this big head laughed, it was quite charming.

"Master, what are you doing?" Chu Liang asked, approaching.

"Aren’t I building rapport with it?" Empress Feng chuckled, "The people at Ten Thousand Beasts Hall weren’t lying; this little critter is pretty docile."

"..." Chu Liang grinned.

Recalling the "little critter"’s previous ferocity when it was gnawing on its iron chain, he was quite disillusioned.

In fact, the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall did not lie to them.

"Beasts" like these spirit creatures are very affectionate towards their masters and family, and they are not aggressive to strangers. Only when they meet enemies with sinister intentions, a strong desire to fight burst out. Their nature is to protect their masters, and they fear nothing.

The oppressive presence of Empress Feng at first made the Golden Fur Beast mistake her as an adversary. Therefore, it displayed a strong hostility, and was very unfriendly toward her.

However...

After Empress Feng’s earlier ’bond-building’ attempt, the Golden Fur Beast finally understood. An enemy? This is my sweet, dear master!

When the master ordered me to roll over, I did indeed roll over twice for her!

Roar, roar, roar!

Just as Chu Liang was happily frolicking with the two fierce creatures in the back mountain, a sudden clear crackling sound was heard from the thatched cottage.

Boom—

A pillar of Qi that illuminated the azure sky soared, reaching into the clouds. Everywhere the pillar traversed, it startled the fields and mountains, carrying an unmatched momentum that was almost palpable.

Sword Qi soars high into the sky!

Chu Liang naturally knew what this represented.

"Has the sword been made?!"
