Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 354 The Whereabouts of the Gold Spiritual Bead (3)_1

Her figure flashed, swiftly moving into the space. Elder Meihua’s image appeared once more, and she nodded in satisfaction. Her figure rapidly approached the sources of the mighty auras.Now that there were people she could spar with, she naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. If she could win against these old fellows now, she would be confident in rescuing Zhuge Feng when the time came.

On the pitch-dark seaside, with a gentle breeze blowing, several elders clad in Tang suits were standing on the sands, waiting.

"Zhuge Ao, have you misheard the location? Why is there still no movement or people?"

"Master, there’s no mistake. The place Yang Wulang mentioned is here. Moreover, the initial one hundred million in funds has already been transferred to my account, and I’ve moved it into the family’s account. There can’t be a mistake."

"Alright, let’s wait a bit longer. COUGH, COUGH, COUGH." Elder Shi coughed lightly, interrupting the conversation between the mentor and his student.

"Hmm, where has Shen Po gone?"

"Master, my senior went to look for his grandson. I heard his grandson has lost a fair amount of money and has to make up for countless shares. Upon hearing this, Senior hastily went to comfort his grandson."

"Alas, neither of the two is impressive," Zhuge Yang sighed lightly. His two disciples were not at all imposing. "Call Yang Wulang and ask him if he’s coming or not, and if our agreement is still on. If he doesn’t show up soon, we’ll return immediately."

Elder Shi’s mood was growing foul; recalling the humiliation suffered at the hands of Shangguan You and Ye Sanshao, his heart ached intensely.

"Yes, Elder Shi." Zhuge Ao nodded, picking up the phone to make the call.

A moment later, he reported, "Master, he’s not answering the phone."

"Damn it, a bunch of bastards!" Elder Shi roared in anger. His palm swept through the air towards the sea. BANG! BANG! Several loud sounds echoed as his strike stirred up enormous waves.

"Elder Shi." Zhuge Yang’s heart skipped a beat. Elder Shi was angry.

"I’m fine!" Elder Shi snapped, panting heavily. "Let’s wait another five minutes. If they don’t show up, all of the Zhuge Family’s contracts with G Country will be null and void! From now on, all members of the Zhuge Family are forbidden from having any contact with G Country. Anyone who dares disobey will be expelled from the family! If it weren’t for those bastards, I wouldn’t have incurred this favor!"

"Elder Shi, rest assured," Zhuge Yang said. "The matter of finding Li Wanying for the Ye Family has already been set in motion, and the Inferno Sect is also making efforts to locate her. Once we return to the family, we’ll initiate the Patriarch’s Order, and we’ll surely find her within three months. As long as we find her, our debt to the Ye Family will be repaid, and for the time being, we have no quarrels with the Shangguan Family."

Hearing Elder Shi mention the favor once more, Zhuge Yang tried to comfort him. However, the more Zhuge Yang tried to console him, the angrier Elder Shi became.

In the past few days, he had wanted to reveal countless times that Shangguan You was none other than Elder Meihua. But each time the words reached his lips, he would forcibly swallow them back down, causing him unbearable discomfort, as though a ghost was clutching his throat. He knew he had fallen for Ye Sanshao’s scheme.

"I understand," Elder Shi said, his voice tight with barely contained fury. With a wave of his hands, an aura capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas swept towards the sea once again. Rage boiled within him, yet he couldn’t show it openly. Who could be more aggrieved and frustrated than him, the most revered Elder of the Hidden World Family? Even the Family Head treated him with the utmost respect, yet he had been played like this by others, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"HAHAHA! After a few days, Elder Shi is as spirited as ever, still beaming with health and vigor, truly inspiring admiration!" An aged laughter sounded. A path naturally cleared on the beach as Shangguan You’s black silhouette emerged from the sands, step by step.

She stood before the three men, the sea breeze stirring her white hair and causing her wide robe to flutter gently.

"Elder Meihua? Weren’t you swallowed by the Man-Eating Flower? How are you here?" Zhuge Yang looked at Shangguan You warily, then turned his gaze towards Elder Shi. What was this all about?

"A mere Man-Eating Flower? Do you think I’m like those two old men from Ming Shi, ensnared by it, too scared to move, just waiting for rescue? I am not that powerless," Shangguan You said with contempt. Looking at Elder Shi, who was gasping heavily, his face alternating between pale and blue, she felt all the merrier. The angrier others got, the happier she became.

Elder Meihua is Shangguan You, Shangguan You is Elder Meihua, and she has four Spiritual Pearls. Elder Shi repeated this sentence in his mind thousands of times. He wanted to tell everyone. He even wanted to write it down. But whenever it involved Shangguan You, or matters related to the Shangguan Family and the Ye Family, it was as if a ghost throttled him, rendering him powerless. He could only watch with wide eyes. "That senior is truly brilliant," Elder Shi managed to say. "That day, you made everyone believe you were eaten by the Man-Eating Flower, only to escape by burrowing into the earth. Such skill is truly admirable."

"Well said, well said. I might lack other skills, but when it comes to running away and begging for mercy, I am quite the expert," Shangguan You boasted, casting a mocking glance at Elder Shi.

"Elder Meihua, take a palm strike from me!" Elder Shi bellowed as he soared into the sky, launching himself towards Shangguan You. After enduring so much frustration and now being mocked like this, anyone would feel their pride pricked.

"Bring it on! I came tonight precisely to test my new abilities on you!" Shangguan You also flew into mid-air. Her hands filled with Spiritual Energy as she prepared to clash fiercely with Elder Shi. In the past, she might have had reservations, but now, she wanted to test the true extent of her abilities.

CRASH! The two torrents of Spiritual Energy collided violently in mid-air, emitting a blinding light that illuminated the dark seaside. This was the first time Shangguan You had engaged in such a direct, head-on clash of power.

"Elder Shi, again!" Shangguan You shouted, her hands once again bursting with Spiritual Energy as she took the initiative to attack Elder Shi.

CRASH! The two streams of Spiritual Energy slammed into each other once more, this collision even more forceful and ferocious than the last.

A brilliant light flashed, shooting towards the sky. A strong wind arose, and sand and stones on the beach flew into the air. Zhuge Yang and Zhuge Ao shielded their eyes with their hands, involuntarily retreating from the scene, now filled with flying debris due to the clash of Spiritual Energy between the two combatants.
