Chapter 773: Second Floor Steward Sunx Ming (2)

Chapter 773: Chapter 527: Second Floor Steward Sunx Ming (2)

“Understood, Great Elder.”

Wang Xingyin nodded heavily and firmly said, “However, I will still gather these herbs one by one.

Once the Patriarch breaks through to the Crystal Stage, this list of herbs will be handed over to Third Elder Zheng Yi immediately.”

“That would indeed be the best outcome. Our Wang Family would be glad to see Third Elder successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, after all, our Wang Family belongs to the Righteous Forces.”

The Great Elder smiled faintly.

At this moment, Zheng Yi naturally couldn’t have anticipated.

What he originally intended as a test of Wang Miaomiao’s true feelings inadvertently triggered an underlying conflict between the Wang Family and himself.

Zheng Yi walked down the street outside the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, shaking his head with a wry smile.

Truly, “the watched flower never blooms, the unwatched willow grows into shade.”

However, at this moment.

Zheng Yi hadn’t yet discerned the intentions of the Wang Family. Everything would have to wait until he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm for the dust to settle.

Zheng Yi’s figure was faintly caught by Liu Ruyan’s eyes in the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.

The graceful beauty on the second floor had a dazzling face, skin as white as snow, and a curvaceous figure. She wore a pink dress that accentuated her charming beauty with a mole at the corner of her mouth.

She swayed her waist in a perfectly graceful arc, walking with captivating grace towards Liu Ruyan, a staff member on the first floor. Her demeanor was enough to stir anyone’s heart.

“You little girl got lucky.

This young man who visited our pavilion before is no ordinary person.

A Third-grade Alchemist, now he has broken through to the Ninth-layer Qi Refining. He is also the renowned Third Elder of the Wang Family of Piaomiao Mountain.

According to our Celestial Treasure Pavilion’s internal sources.

He also has some connections with a Second-grade Alchemist.

The reason why the Wang Family has had successive breakthroughs to the Foundation Establishment Realm in recent years is undeniably related to him.”

The lively beauty Sun Ming exuded the charm of a mature woman, with a graceful and radiant demeanor.

Liu Ruyan blushed after listening, her face flush like a rosy haze.

But watching Zheng Yi’s departing figure.

Her brows involuntarily showed a hint of sadness.

“Such a figure, he is bound to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future, I am afraid I am unworthy of him.”

“Whether you are worthy or not, you must still try.”

Sun Ming said as she approached, blocking Zheng Yi’s path with a gentle smile.

Zheng Yi looked at her with curiosity.

Uncertain of her intentions.

“If fellow cultivator has anything to purchase, you should come to our Celestial Treasure Pavilion.

The goods we have here are sure to satisfy you.”

Hearing the charming woman’s words, Zheng Yi was intrigued.

He had indeed seen the goods of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion before, leaving a deep impression.

Thinking of the herb list just now.

Zheng Yi nodded casually and followed Sun Ming into the pavilion.

Zheng Yi took out a piece of paper again, copying the list of requested herbs once more, and handed it to the steward in front of him.

Most of the herbs listed were common in the market.

Though a few were rare, they could still be found with a careful search, especially for a major force like the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, it wasn’t difficult.

As for testing Wang Miaomiao earlier.

It was merely a whimsical notion from Zheng Yi, regarded as a small test.

Human nature ultimately cannot withstand speculation, nor should it corner anyone.

“These few herbs are hard to find.”

The charming beauty Sun Ming smiled radiantly but confidently said to Zheng Yi, “Rest assured, young master, our Celestial Treasure Pavilion can handle this transaction.

Once we find these herbs, you can coordinate with our pavilion staff.”

As Sun Ming spoke, she glanced at Liu Ruyan.

Zheng Yi looked at Liu Ruyan, nodding silently.

His eyes lingered momentarily on her pink dress, tight waist, swaying curves, and well-proportioned long legs. Her posture was akin to the Centennial Stalactite he had seen before.

Full of natural and delicate beauty.

Zheng Yi’s thoughts turned lively.

Sun Ming turned her back.

Giving Zheng Yi a meaningful glance, she walked upstairs with light steps.

Zheng Yi didn’t focus on her any longer.

When their eyes met, Zheng Yi only offered a slight smile.

At this time, Liu Ruyan also walked up to Zheng Yi, exchanged some words, and then Zheng Yi left.

As a Second-tier steward, Sun Ming soon approached a young master within the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.

Watching Zheng Yi’s departing figure.

She giggled sweetly, her laughter clear like a silver bell: “This Third Elder of the Wang Family is quite interesting, yet he is a philanderer.”

“Could it be that he developed feelings for our Steward Liu just now?”

“Bai Yu” suddenly spoke in a voice resembling a man’s.

Sun Ming affectionately leaned towards this “man,” teasing, “Could it be that Sister Bai is jealous?”

The person called “Bai Yu” unfurled a folding fan with a “swish,” revealing an extraordinarily handsome face. Though exuding a feminine aura, it indeed resembled a male.

They must have used some treasure to completely conceal their feminine presence.

In the Cultivation Realm.

Such treasures are not uncommon, and Zheng Yi had indeed seen one or two before in the Sea of the Stars.

…

If Zheng Yi fails to repair his Spirit Body, he will not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This information has not been widely publicized within the Wang Family.

If it were, Wang Xingyin would be labeled as callous and unjust, inevitably causing public outrage.

But the problem is.

Such information cannot be concealed from the core members of the Wang Family.

Piaomiao Mountain Wang Family!

In the courtyard of the Second Elder.

The Second Elder frowned deeply, and the light-hearted ease of the past was replaced by deep worry.

He called his granddaughter Wang Miaomiao to the study and slowly spoke: “Your marriage with Zheng Yi may face changes.”

The Second Elder had not yet made a decision, so he intended to give the last choice to his granddaughter.

“What’s going on? Is there something wrong with the Clan Leader or the Patriarch?”

Wang Miaomiao’s expression changed, gritted her teeth, her face full of determination and indignation.

Not waiting for the Second Elder to explain.

She charged forward like an arrow, loudly questioning, “Grandfather, you are now a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Wang Family. Why are you still being coerced by them?

My marriage with Zheng Yi.

We have long been settled, and now many in the family are aware.

If it’s just over like this, I’m afraid I would have no place in the Wang Family.”

The Second Elder knew what Wang Miaomiao was saying.

He sighed gently and said, “Zheng Yi may not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If that is the case, are you still willing?

Failing to break through means his lifespan is only two cycles, whereas a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s lifespan is four cycles if they cultivate well and aren’t injured.

There will be a huge gap between you two.”

The Second Elder laid the harsh reality bare before Wang Miaomiao.

Upon hearing this, Wang Miaomiao felt a series of rolling Celestial Thunder in her mind, leaving her bewildered, unable to believe such a thing could happen.

She stood in a daze, lost and disoriented.

The Second Elder looked at his granddaughter in such a state, clearly understanding her thoughts.

He only sighed inwardly, speaking comforting words aloud, patting Wang Miaomiao’s right shoulder, and slowly said, “Think it over, I’ll give you a night, and tell me the result tomorrow.

In the face of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, everything else seems illusory.”

After saying this.

The Second Elder slowly left, and his footsteps gradually faded from Wang Miaomiao’s ears.

Wang Miaomiao seemed soulless.

Until the next day.

She didn’t appear before the Second Elder, perhaps this represented her decision.

The Second Elder looked at the empty study.

He couldn’t help but sigh deeply, filled with mixed emotions.

Last night, he didn’t set things in stone, merely analyzing the situation, yet his granddaughter was already like this.

Though his heart leaned towards this outcome, reaching this point left him with a sense of loss.

Seeing Zheng Yi, who was supposed to be his granddaughter’s spouse, ending up like this, he couldn’t help but feel fear for his own future.

The Second Elder found himself in a bittersweet situation.

Soon after, he firmly decided and approached Zheng Yi to return the marriage agreement.
