Chapter 1063 - 581
Upon hearing him say this, Juan Niang understood that these two were indeed sent by Elder Qi. Otherwise, who else would know about Elder Qi’s discontent with her? But why would Elder Qi send these two here? Why?
Her mind was in turmoil, and she stood frozen on the spot. The two black-clothed men exchanged a glance, stepped forward, and escorted her, one on each side, forward. Juan Niang tried to struggle, but she couldn’t break free.
The way these people walked was very peculiar. Though they attracted frequent glances from others, they all wore masks and their figures were blurred, so no one could recognize them.
After fifteen minutes, she finally stood inside Elder Qi’s Quiet Room. The two black-clothed men closed the door and stood silently behind her.
Juan Niang stared intently into Elder Qi’s eyes and said, "Elder, do you have any instructions?" Although she didn’t know the agreement between Elder Qi and Ning Xiaoxian, having seen the transaction price of those rings in the box, she vaguely sensed impending doom.
Elder Qi looked at her haggard face and remembered that this subordinate had been with him for over ten years, always diligent in her duties. Yet now he had to take her head to save his own reputation, and he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of reluctance.
Juan Niang saw his reluctance, but her heart only grew colder. The last time Elder Qi showed such an expression was when another aging subordinate of his made a mistake. Though he seemed regretful, he showed no mercy when he acted.
She had known Elder Qi for too long and understood well that he was naturally cold-hearted. Any reluctance or unwillingness was merely fleeting.
Sure enough, Elder Qi said, "Juan Niang, do you know why the bidding for the batch of Spiritual Tea outside stopped?"
Juan Niang opened her mouth, and countless thoughts raced through her mind in an instant, growing more and more apprehensive. Finally, she trembled and said, "What agreement did you make with her?" At this moment, she couldn’t care less about using any honorifics.
Elder Qi remained silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Don’t blame me. You really shouldn’t have dragged me into this for your personal vendetta."
The Mingshui Sect’s business was damaged, and in this matter, Elder Qi was aligned with her. Stealing the Spiritual Tea from Ningyuan Hall was done with his approval. Is this what he calls "getting dragged down"? This man wanted to kill her and still needed a reason for himself. Indeed, he was truly cold-hearted! Juan Niang wanted to sneer, but the stiff muscles on her face made her expression look worse than crying.
"Do you really want me dead?" She couldn’t fight anyone in this Quiet Room. But to meekly await her fate, she couldn’t do it!
Elder Qi turned his head, avoiding her gaze, and said softly, "Out of respect for the years you’ve been with me, I don’t want anyone else to do it. There’s a poison pill on the table; take it yourself." The poison pill could kill a cultivator, especially since her cultivation level wasn’t high.
Juan Niang’s face turned pale as she laughed grimly, "Oh, you truly are my good elder! But Qi Liuxian, haven’t I done a lot for you all these years? Aren’t you afraid that the loose ends will be exposed?"
Elder Qi said coldly, "You can rest assured on your journey; there’s no need to worry about what comes after."
He was determined to see her dead! Juan Niang clenched her fists tightly, her nails piercing into her flesh, yet she felt no pain. She was unwilling, she hated Elder Qi, but she hated Ning Xiaoxian even more! Everything started because of her. If it weren’t for this woman, she and Wenren Bo’s Beauty Collection Team business would still be thriving, and she would still be flourishing under Elder Qi’s command!
Now she was about to die, and that woman lived well. Why, why!
Juan Niang’s face suddenly showed a strange smile, "Being manipulated by that Ning little bitch like this, don’t you want to get back at her?"
Elder Qi looked at her warily, "What are you planning to do?" A person’s words at death may not be kind. This woman’s heart had always been full of schemes, so he had to be cautious.
"Rest assured, I just don’t want that Ning little bitch to have it easy." She walked to the desk, took a piece of white paper, and scribbled a few lines.
At this moment, her hand was steady as she wrote. She then threw the paper, still wet with ink, in front of Elder Qi and said, "I received this news just this afternoon. Stamp it with my Seal, and it will surely be convincing."
Elder Qi glanced at the paper, his expression changing slightly, "Is this true?"
"True or false, what does it matter?" Juan Niang laughed, "The most important thing is, like me, you don’t want that little bitch to have peace, right? As long as it disrupts her, I’ll be satisfied!"
She glanced at Elder Qi. Let this old man be pleased for a while. Over the years, hasn’t she collected enough evidence against him? No rush, no rush. Should she meet with an accident, there will naturally be someone to avenge her!
