Chapter 106: Chapter 105: Wow, Gained Weight Again

Chaoyan and Chaoruo hurried forward to greet.

Lord Qiansha nodded, then his gaze, tranquil and undisturbed, turned to Lord Ziyang.

At this moment, not only Lord Ziyang but also Lords Guangcheng and Guangluo showed restraint.

Lord Ziyang solemnly said, "Lord Qiansha, please do not misunderstand. It was my disciple who said that something was missing from the returned items."

"Truly missing?" Lord Qiansha asked back.

Lord Ziyang turned to look at Xie Ying.

"It’s true!"

"It’s not!"

Xie Ying and Xie Jiuniang almost answered at the same time.

Xie Ying glared at Xie Jiuniang with angry phoenix eyes.

Xie Jiuniang took the initiative, "I can open my storage bag for Elder Sister to inspect. But Elder Sister must first clarify what is missing. You can’t just claim something valuable of mine as the missing item."

Xie Ying then said, "You have a storage ring."

"No problem, check everything. I didn’t take your things, my conscience is clear," Xie Jiuniang patted her chest, calm and composed.

She showed not even a hint of guilt.

Even Lord Ziyang was puzzled; he believed his disciple hadn’t lied, and could see that Xie Jiuniang’s words held truth.

The solution that Xie Jiuniang proposed was peaceful and effective.

Both sides agreed.

Xie Ying said, "What I’m missing is a token with a tree pattern on it."

She really wanted to take the opportunity to claim Xie Jiuniang’s token as well, but facing so many Divinity Transformation experts, she dared not lie.

Xie Jiuniang promptly released ownership of both the storage bag and ring, not needing anyone else to search her physically, she allowed everyone to use their Divine Sense to inspect.

The Divinity Transformation experts saw everything clearly.

There weren’t many belongings, and even fewer of value. The only exception being a top-grade spiritual stone the size of a fingernail?

After searching the supposedly very wealthy junior disciple, they found that only the Great Tortoise Shell and the Rainbow Stone were somewhat impressive.

Xie Ying searched again and again, "Impossible, impossible, how can it not be there? The item was clearly taken by you!"

"Elder Sister, enough now," Xie Jiuniang looked at Xie Ying with a look that said, don’t make such an unreasonable fuss, don’t be so immature.

This infuriated Xie Ying to no end.

The Fusang Token must have been taken, yet it was nowhere to be found.

She couldn’t maintain her composure and went straight to search Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang playfully dodged as Xie Ying’s touch tickled her, and when Xie Ying pulled down a bit of her collar and saw that she wasn’t wearing anything around her neck, she let go. But no matter how relentless Xie Ying was, it was in vain; the most valuable thing on Xie Jiuniang was the defense jade token hanging at her waist.

Xie Jiuniang said helplessly, "Elder Sister, I’ve said before that I discarded the item before coming to the Sect; you simply didn’t believe it. Now that you’ve searched me, you should give up. I hope Elder Sister will stop being so willful. We are one family; I don’t want things to get too ugly."

After she finished, she sighed.

In the eyes of others, she was the obedient and sensible younger sister, enduring her willful and unreasonable elder sister.

Further pondering her words, one might easily think that when Xie Ying said an item was missing, it wasn’t really missing; she might have hoped to take a token from Xie Jiuniang.

Considering Xie Ying’s previous actions in concealing her identity and ambushing her cousin, this explanation was very plausible and believable.

Xie Ying was frustrated and unwilling to let Xie Jiuniang off the hook.

Lord Guangluo glanced at the trash that could only be found in Tianshui Secret Realm, such as luminous stones, and asked, "Junior, have you been to Tianshui Secret Realm?"

Xie Jiuniang was startled; realizing the question was directed at her, she could only reply, "Yes, I have."

"Was the Rainbow Stone also obtained from the secret realm?" Lord Guangluo asked further.

Xie Jiuniang nodded again.

Lord Guangluo asked, "Will you sell it? The Rainbow Stone is of great use to me."

Xie Jiuniang turned to look at Chaoyan.

Seeing that her master did not stop her, Chaoyan thought it might truly be of great use to Lord Guangluo.

Xie Jiuniang owned more than one piece of Rainbow Stone; the one she had used to patch the small hole was quite common, containing relatively less Chaos Qi.

Now that it was exposed, it wasn’t unacceptable for Lord Guangluo to want to purchase it.

Xie Jiuniang said, "Lord, sure, but let’s discuss it later, after I settle the issue with my elder sister."

So, Xie Jiuniang looked at Xie Ying, then raised her head to Lord Ziyang, "You said you would compensate me for today’s losses, was that true? I can swear that I won’t exaggerate the amount."

"This lord keeps his word," Lord Ziyang said expressionlessly.

Xie Jiuniang’s face immediately relaxed, and she joyfully said, "Thank you so much. The total is eleven Top Grade Spiritual Stones and one hundred and thirty-eight Superior Spirit Stones."

Lord Ziyang’s expression changed slightly.

This was not a trivial amount.

Top Grade Spiritual Stones were extremely rare, and even he did not have many on him. He wanted to accuse Xie Jiuniang of concocting numbers, but when he recalled how the formation had blocked his attacks earlier, his heart bled.

Were those attacks his own wrongdoing?

Xie Jiuniang promptly explained, "Part of this amount was used up by Elder Wu when he attacked the formation."

Lord Ziyang intended to complain, did it really have to be him to foot the bill for the trouble Wu Sheng caused?

Xie Jiuniang met Lord Ziyang’s gaze forthrightly, then winked at him, enlightening him to a key point—it was something he could get from the Wu Family, it didn’t necessarily have to come out of his own pocket.

Lord Ziyang left a message that he would send the compensation later, then took Xie Ying and left.

One of the parties involved had departed.

The remaining Wu Sheng already had a deathly pale face; he had not expected the protector of this Outer Sect disciple to be the formidable Female Slayer Deity, famed throughout the Cultivation World.

Lord Qiansha had been renowned for thousands of years, and no one dared to provoke her.

If there were a Divinity Transformation power ranking in the Cultivation World, Lord Qiansha would certainly be in the top three.

Legend had it that when Lord Qiansha was younger, in both figure and appearance, she was like a millennium-old fox spirit, hauntingly beautiful and enticing, drawing many frivolous admirers, some even harboring ulterior motives. Yet, this very woman possessed combat prowess that left countless others far behind, killing those schemers until they were terror-stricken, and no one dared to plot against her thereafter.

At that moment, Lord Qiansha glanced over, causing Wu Sheng’s heart to lurch with dread.

Wu Sheng took off a Storage Ring and apologized, "This is all my fortune as a token of my apologies for today’s events towards Chaoyan’s disciple, how is that?"

Chaoyan accepted the Storage Ring, swept it with his Divine Sense, and finding nothing amiss, passed it to Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang blinked, and also scanned the Storage Ring with her Divine Sense.

Wow, another jackpot.

The fortune of a Nascent Soul would not be meager, would it?

Xie Jiuniang’s face beamed with joy as she nodded, then Chaoyan magnanimously said, "Elder Wu also made an unintentional mistake, let’s just let bygones be bygones."

There was no choice but to let it go.

In the Sect, killing him was not an option.

Wu Sheng left dejectedly.

Lord Guangcheng asked, "Young one, will you sell the Tortoise Shell?"

Xie Jiuniang shook her head in reply, "Sorry. I plan to refine the Great Tortoise Shell into my Exclusive Magic Treasure in the future."

Lord Guangcheng, though disappointed, did not insist, bade farewell to those present, and left first.

Then came the negotiation for the Rainbow Stone.

In front of Lord Qiansha, Guangluo dared not let Xie Jiuniang suffer a loss, and used a Sword Technique manual he had acquired from a Secret Realm to trade for the Rainbow Stone.
