Chapter 781: Nangong Qiling

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When mentioning the Nangong Clan, Jiang Yi recalled about Big Sister Bell who didn’t contact him from start to finish. He originally thought that after exiting from the auction hall, Big Sister Bell would transmit a message to him or got someone to relay a message to him. However, he didn’t receive any message. Because of the incident with Huangfu Taotian, he didn’t stay around in the plaza. Right now, when the Nangong Clan was mentioned, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Big Brother Huangfu, do you know Nangong Qiling?”

“I heard of this person!”

Huangfu Taotian frowned and said, “She seems like a young lady from the Nangong Clan, but isn’t considered famous and isn’t favored as well. I remember that this Young Lady married many years ago. What is Brother Jiang asking this for? That’s right... I remember that you bid for a Purple Soul Bells and gifted it to her?”

“Yes, I did!”

Jiang Yi nodded, and just as he was going to say something, the courtyard’s restriction shook suddenly. Everyone got rather nervous, but Huangfu Taotian didn’t bother at all. He deactivated the restriction and walked out. When he saw someone standing outside, he asked in a cold voice, “What is it?”

“Young Master Huangfu!”

The one who came was an ordinary-looking middle-aged Heaven Monarch. He cupped his hands and didn’t say anything while Huangfu Taotian’s expression turned cold as he swept a glance at both sides and shouted with overwhelming killing aura, “All the nearby hidden scouts, better listen up. You can monitor if you wish, but don’t you dare scout my clan’s Master with your divine senses. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving your Clan Head any face.”

Boom!

Just as he finished speaking, he struck a palm strike abruptly while the walls of the courtyard beside theirs burst open instantly, and the courtyard had also collapsed. A black-robed man vomited blood and flew out while he got buried by the rubble.

Ss, ss...

Jiang Yi had put everyone into the Thearch Palace while he activated the Illusion Moon Stone and extended his divine senses out. He couldn’t help but take in a cold breath when he saw this scene. He was silently thinking that this Huangfu Taotian was truly a lunatic and actually dared to act violently in the city? He might not have killed anyone, but it would surely alert the city guards, right?

True enough—!

A team of city guards flew over rapidly from the distance and was shouting out from far away, “Who dares to use force in the city? Do you wish to die, uh... greetings to Young Master Huangfu.”

This city guard team’s commander was a middle-stage Heaven Monarch, and when he saw Huangfu Taotian’s face, he immediately put on a bitter smile. He landed and cupped his fists and said, “Young Master, you should know of the city’s rules. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

“I am not making things difficult!”

Huangfu Taotian used cold eyes to look at this person and spoke tyrannically, “This person is recklessly using his divine senses to scout inside the courtyard of my clan’s Master. I have already given you face by not killing this person. According to the city rules, no one is supposed to scout into another courtyard randomly, right? Bring this person back. If you think that I did something wrong, you can also arrest me.”

“No, nothing wrong!”

The team commander’s mouth twitched while he quickly forced a smile. Who would dare to arrest this lunatic? Back then, the command center of the city guards was nearly torn down by Huangfu Taotian. Furthermore, the current chief commander of the city guards was a member of the Huangfu Clan.

A few city guards rushed into the courtyard and carried that fainted scout out. When they saw that this person had a secret mark of the Lu Clan, they were slightly relaxed. Huangfu Taotian did reserve himself and didn’t cripple the scouts from the Lei Clan or the three other major clans. Otherwise, this incident would certainly be troublesome.

“If there is nothing else, then all of you can go!”

Huangfu Taotian spoke with a haughty tone and waved his hand. That team commander had no choice but to withdraw with his men. Huangfu Taotian then looked at the middle-aged Heaven Monarch and asked, “What do you want?”

This person was shivering when he was stared down by Huangfu Taotian. He didn’t dare to speak of any nonsense and took out a jade box from his ancient divine essence ring and handed it over respectfully. “I am Nangong Clan’s Outer Affairs Supervisor, Nangong Lu. I have been ordered by Young Lady Qiling to return this Purple Soul Bells as Young Lady said that this treasure is too valuable, and she dare not receive it. The Nangong Clan’s descendants must not accept the favor from others so easily as well. However, Young Lady is moved to tears by the Master’s hospitality, and the Nangong Clan also expresses our gratitude. In addition... the Clan Head relayed a message to invite Master to visit the Nangong Clan when he has the time. The Nangong Clan welcomes him anytime.”

The Outer Affairs Supervisor bowed with cupped hands and left immediately. Huangfu Taotian kept the jade box and took a few more cold glances at the nearby courtyards, snorted, walked back into the courtyard, and activated the restriction.

Jiang Yi walked out and received the jade box. When he opened up the jade box, he knitted his brows and muttered strangely, “How is it possible? Why would Big Sister Bell reject my gift?”

“How is it not possible?”

Huangfu Taotian responded with astonishment, “Nangong Yunyi has an old-fashioned and harsh personality. The Nangong Clan has a very strict upbringing, and it is normal for Nangong Qiling to not accept your gift. After all, this Purple Soul Bells isn’t something worth tens of millions. The more influential the clan, the harder it is for them to accept benefits from others as they might owe a favor.”

“No, it isn’t like that!”

Jiang Yi shook his head. Huangfu Taotian didn’t understand the relationship between him and Big Sister Bell. He believed that Big Sister Bell knew that he was the one giving her the gift and would be moved to tears, but she would never send the bells back. Furthermore, she even said that the Nangong Clan’s descendants must not accept gifts from others easily? This was too ceremonious, and it wasn’t something Big Sister Bell would say. Perhaps... she was having some difficulties.

“It seems like I have to find an opportunity to visit the Nangong Clan and meet with Big Sister Bell.”

Jiang Yi had silently decided that he had to meet Big Sister Bell as it was too strange for her to return the Purple Soul Bells. She actually didn’t do it personally and sent someone else? Could she have some difficulties?

“Big Brother Huangfu!”

Jiang Yi paused for a moment and asked Huangfu Taotian, “Do you have any information channels? Could you check the situation in the city? Right now, it was almost the same as having my eyes blindfolded; and it doesn’t feel good. Also... if possible, could you help me find out information about Nangong Qiling?”

“En, leave it to me!”

Huangfu Taotian nodded and said, “After all, I did reside in Gods Bestow City for more than twenty years, and I still have those channels. I will be able to find out the activities of the various clans.”

Huangfu Taotian took up his role as Jiang Yi’s subordinate naturally. He was someone who would keep his words. Jiang Yi might be very polite to him, but he had already decided that he would definitely keep his words to serve as Jiang Yi’s slave for ten years. Even if Jiang Yi asked him to kill into the Huangfu Clan, he would not have a hint of hesitation.

After Huangfu Taotian went out, Jiang Yi let Qian Wanguan and the others out. Everyone had a discussion and decided to purchase a bigger courtyard. Qian Wanguan would impersonate Yi Piaopiao in the future to deal with the four major clans since no one knew who Yi Piaopiao was. They couldn’t possibly ask Qian Wanguan to paint on the spot, right?

They were also going to make Qian Wanguan’s impersonated identity public and to get Huangfu Taotian to recruit some subordinates, putting this identity into good use.

In this way, Lei Qiyan and Lu Lin would have to consider carefully before trying to deal with them. No martial force must be used in Gods Bestow City, and it was the rules. For hundreds of thousands of years, this rule had never been broken—at least not in public. If Jiang Yi and his group were to make his identity public, the opposition had to be even more prudent.

With Huangfu Taotian around, it was impossible for any regular individuals to assassinate them. The Huangfu Clan might look heartless, but it wasn’t possible for Huangfu Qi to not bother about this son. He was such an exceptional genius, and it was possible for him to reach the level that was close to gods. The Huangfu Clan would never forsake him.

Jiang Yi was going to hide behind the scenes and diligently cultivate. He was everyone’s pillar, and everyone would only feel safer if he got stronger. Then, they would have hope to return to East Imperial Continent.

Qian Wanguan had a hidden grudge, but since Feng Luan and Jiang Yi had already decided, he had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, it was simple to impersonate Yi Piaopiao. He was born in an influential clan had was used to social interactions, making it rather easy for him to impersonate and deal with others. It was also because Jiang Yi didn’t want to have too many interactions and wasn’t good at it either. Thus, he decided for Qian Wanguan to impersonate him so that he could fully concentrate on cultivation.

“Boss, I understand your intentions!”

After Jiang Yi repeatedly explained himself, Qian Wanguan nodded and replied, “Apart from joining the four major clans, all other things can be negotiated, right? What if the young ladies of the four major clans fancied me and want to violate me? Should I resist or not? What if I am not capable enough to resist them? What should I do?”
