Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 381 Pretending to be a Pig to Eat a Tiger (1)_1

"Since it was obtained by the three families, it should naturally be divided equally," Fang Qingrong stated enigmatically. At the same time, a knock came at the door, and people from both the Li Family and the Zhuge Family entered as well. Among them, Shangguan You once again encountered a familiar face: Zhuge Yang. She hadn’t expected him to show up, as he had been absent during the day, only to appear at night.Seeing the lecherous look on Li Zhaode’s face, Shangguan You’s eyes narrowed. She certainly hadn’t forgotten how this scoundrel had dared to flirt with her.

While keeping her ears pricked up to listen to the conversation among the group, Shangguan You quickly applied makeup in her space, donned a black robe, and fixed a white beard onto her face, shrouding her entire figure within it. At this moment, she was Elder Meihua.

As she listened to their conversation, a smirk tugged at Shangguan You’s mouth once more. She hadn’t expected that the title of Elder Meihua would cause such a stir in Hidden World Village. It had become so well-known that it alarmed all their families, prompting them to come together in search of her.

It was all the trouble of the Spirit Gathering Pill, Shangguan You sighed deeply once again.

"Elder Fang, we have the Blood Spirit Jade. Can the Blood Spirit Jade lure Elder Meihua out? Will he appear? Will he fall for it?"

Hearing the doubtful questions, Zhuge Yang’s eyebrows furrowed. He had just returned to his family when the news of the Spirit Gathering Pill had spread. Now, the Li Family, Fang Family, and Zhuge Family had reached an agreement to search for Elder Meihua together. The Li Family, in particular, needed to come out to settle some of their affairs. He hadn’t expected to encounter Blood Spirit Jade during this venture.

"Based on what you’re saying, that old fellow likes to collect strange and unusual treasures. Plus, the news today has spread remarkably fast. If he’s here and sees the news, I believe he’ll definitely show up. The Blood Spirit Jade’s influence on a cultivator isn’t small at all," Fang Qingrong stated, stroking his beard with a look of profundity.

"Elder Fang, if we can successfully win over that Elder Meihua, then our family’s strength will surely rise. When the time comes, the Ye Family, huh, huh..." Li Chengping from the Li Family rubbed his beard, speaking with apparent smugness.

"That old ghost isn’t easy to deal with. He also has four Spiritual Pearls on him. He should be targeting the Shangguan Family right now; otherwise, without the Gold Spiritual Bead, it’s equally useless for him. Trying to win him over might be difficult; it could require some sacrifices," Zhuge Yang stated with a frown. They were so certain that the old ghost was here because the Shangguan Family was here, and the Gold Spiritual Bead was with the Shangguan Family; therefore, the old ghost couldn’t have gone far.

"Elder Yang, is that old ghost, Elder Meihua, really so difficult to deal with? Are you saying our family would be scared of him?" Zhuge Yue asked with furrowed, attractive eyebrows, her tone dismissive.

"Even Elder Ming died at the jaws of the Man-Eating Flower, yet that old ghost managed to kill the Man-Eating Flower and obtain the Wood Spirit Bead. Do you think he’s a pushover? I told you to just stay at home, but you wouldn’t listen," Zhuge Yang sighed, looking at Zhuge Yue before him. This young lady insisted on venturing into such dangerous territory when she could have stayed safely at home.

"Elder Yang, you know it’s because Brother Feng is ignoring me. He won’t even respond when I speak to him, so I had to come out and have a look," Zhuge Yue tugged at Zhuge Yang’s arm, shaking it and speaking coquettishly.

"Alright, no matter what happens later, stay close to us. Peng, your task is to protect Yueyue," Zhuge Yang instructed.

"Yes, Elder Yang," Zhuge Peng replied respectfully, positioning himself beside the pair.

Li Zhaohong and Fang Jianyu both curled their lips. They exchanged a look, their eyes filled with deep contempt. What’s so great about her anyway? The Zhuge Family really has no discernment, spoiling such a woman like a treasure.

"Alright, let’s discuss," Fang Qingrong interrupted the conversation and began conversing quietly with Zhuge Yang and Li Chengping.

Fang Xiaofei, Li Zhaode, and Zhuge Peng stood by respectfully, listening to the elders’ arrangements, while the three women stared at each other.

Observing the nine people in the room, Shangguan You’s brows knitted tightly. Was this some kind of mistake? Before she had even made her appearance, they had already laid a snare here, waiting for her to willingly walk into the trap? Or did they wish to win her over? What exactly were they planning?

"The most important thing now is the Blood Spirit Jade. As long as we have it, he is sure to show up." A flash of red light, and the Blood Spirit Jade was already in Fang Qingrong’s hands, bathing the room in a blood-red glow, conspicuously eye-catching.

Shangguan You’s eyes flickered and her mouth curled subtly. While everyone was focused on the Blood Spirit Jade absorbing Spiritual Energy, she quickly wrapped it with the Water Element and tossed it into her space. The shadowy figure of Elder Meihua suddenly appeared in the room.

"Hahaha, thank you all for the generous gift you’ve offered to this old man. Since it’s meant for me, I’ll gladly accept it," Shangguan You’s aged voice echoed, her white beard fluttering, clearly visible to the nine people in the room.

The complexions of everyone in the room shifted dramatically; they hadn’t come to their senses before the Blood Spirit Jade vanished. And how was it that Elder Meihua appeared without any of them sensing it?

"Lord Meihua, we meet again," Zhuge Yang said, his face taking on an unpleasant expression as he clenched his hands tightly. He certainly hadn’t forgotten how Elder Meihua had beaten him until he could cry no more.

"What? Didn’t get enough of a beating last time and want to try again?" Shangguan You asked with a cold laugh. An Electric Shock from her hand shot silently towards him.

The sound of SIZZLING echoed, and Zhuge Yang’s face changed dramatically as he quickly retreated. Li Chengping and Fang Qingrong, who rushed forward to meet the attack, were directly struck by the Electric Shock, smoke billowing from their mouths. "Hahaha, such incompetence! I will not entertain you further." With a loud laugh, Shangguan You’s dark figure flew out into the night.

"Old Ghost Meihua, where do you think you’re escaping to?" The group shouted angrily, rapidly pursuing her. In the pitch-black night, nine silhouettes flew swiftly through the sky.

A slight smirk appeared on Shangguan You’s lips as she intentionally slowed her pace. She wanted to see if she could win a one-on-nine encounter tonight. Only by testing their strengths could she be confident of rescuing Zhuge Feng in Hidden World Village; otherwise, rushing headlong into danger like a lamb to the slaughter was an idiotic move she would never make.
