My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

Chapter 70: They are plotting a major conspiracy!

"Tearing up my invitation and selling it in the market, what does that mean? Are they disrespecting me, not putting the Bright Palace in their eyes?"

Zhu Lianhua was furious; he had never been so humiliated.

Wang Shuang, standing next to him, also felt a bit embarrassed.

This Shinguang Sect, how could they handle things so poorly?

He knew that Zhu Lianhua had sent an invitation to the Seven-Color Peak, but he didn't expect it to be torn up and sold in the market.

He organized his thoughts and said, "I've heard that the senior disciple of Seven-Color Peak is eccentric and acts unusually. Perhaps he was the one who sold the invitation!"

Wang Shuang did not mention the Peak Master of Seven-Color Peak, trying to direct the conflict toward Qi Yuan.

After all, he feared that Zhu Lianhua, in a fit of anger, might clash with the suspected late-stage Nascent Soul Peak Master.

But having a conflict with a Qi Refining disciple was not a big deal.

"Hmph, without that bitch Ruan Yixi's permission, would her disciple dare to sell my invitation?" Zhu Lianhua transmitted his voice, his face already calm.

If Jiang Lingsu were here and heard Zhu Lianhua's voice transmission, she would definitely say, "Senior brother would dare."

"Zhu Daoist, be careful with your words. This is the market under Shinguang Sect!"

"Hmph, we are just transmitting our voices, what is there to fear!" Zhu Lianhua continued his voice transmission.

Wang Shuang felt even more contemptuous upon hearing this.

Everyone knows you're afraid and don't dare to scold openly, so why act so arrogant?
"Daoist, are we still going to Shinguang Sect?" Wang Shuang tentatively asked, "Should we go to demand an explanation?"

He looked at Zhu Lianhua, fearing that Zhu Lianhua, in a fit of anger, would make a scene at Shinguang Sect.

If that happened, he would definitely claim that his thirteenth concubine was having a difficult labor and he needed to rush back home, avoiding involvement.

Zhu Lianhua's expression was uncertain, but he eventually spoke, "Going now would be courting humiliation!

But I will remember today's humiliation. Shinguang Sect… humiliates me today, and when I step into the Nascent Soul realm in the future, I will make this sect restless!
Let's go!"

Zhu Lianhua chose to bide his time.

Completing the task given by his master was the top priority.

As for Shinguang Sect, Ruan Yixi, and that Qi Yuan, he remembered them!

Wang Shuang was delighted upon hearing this: "Daoist, this is a wise decision. That Ruan Yixi is highly skilled and not easy to provoke, but her disciple is just a Qi Refining stage. When he leaves the sect, I will find a reason to capture him to vent your anger!"

Not far away, Qi Yuan, wearing a cloak, was scratching his face anxiously.

Just now, he had secretly gone down the mountain to sell that invitation.

Unexpectedly, he encountered people from Bright Palace.

What a small world.

He secretly hid his presence and followed them, eavesdropping on some information that made him angry.

That Zhu Lianhua wants to seize the treasure!

Who is the treasure of Shinguang Sect if not Qi Yuan himself?

Trying to seize him? How could Qi Yuan tolerate that?

In the end, seeing the anger and intense voice transmission of the other party who bought the invitation, Qi Yuan felt they were plotting something big.

"It's a pity I can't read minds, otherwise, I would surely know their conspiracy!

They must be plotting to overthrow our Shinguang Sect now!"

"Wolfish ambitions!"

"It's a pity I have no evidence. Reporting this to the sect might result in me being confined again, just like last time when I exposed the sect leader as a spy!"

"I can't stand by idly; I must act for the sect!"

"If the sect is in trouble today and I don't act; who will save me when I'm in trouble tomorrow?"

"Moreover, they must also intend to harm my master. Such people shouldn't live in this world!"

Qi Yuan gritted his teeth like Zhu Lianhua.

He felt Zhu Lianhua was really petty.

Always wanting to exterminate entire families!
Can't there be more trust between people?
What if the invitation was accidentally stolen and sold by a thief?
At worst, it was because he, Qi Yuan, was too poor and had no choice but to sell the invitation.

Couldn't Zhu Lianhua be a bit more understanding?
Just then, a tender white hand patted him on the shoulder.

"Senior Brother." A girl in a black cloak sat opposite Qi Yuan.

This girl was Jiang Lingsu.

Qi Yuan was startled: "I'm not your Senior Brother; I don't know Qi Yuan."

"Senior Brother, stop pretending!" Jiang Lingsu leaned close to Qi Yuan's ear and whispered, "Do you have any ideas about those people from Bright Palace?"

"I just went out to gather materials and overheard their conspiracy.

They want to overthrow Shinguang Sect and the Shang Kingdom!" Qi Yuan said excitedly.

Jiang Lingsu was stunned and then a bit speechless. She glanced at Zhu Lianhua and Wang Shuang twenty meters away.

Plotting at such a distance and via voice transmission, and you overheard?

Jiang Lingsu said, "Senior Brother, do you have any ideas about those two?"

"Yes!" Qi Yuan said righteously, "I want to fight for the sect and kill these scoundrels!"

Jiang Lingsu felt lucky she asked her Senior Brother.

Otherwise, if Senior Brother acted impulsively, it would be suicide and ruin her plan.

"Senior Brother, those two are indeed hateful, and I also want to kill them.

But they are strong, and we might not be their match." Jiang Lingsu organized her thoughts.

She had her plans for killing Zhu Lianhua.

Her plans were not suitable to tell Senior Brother.

"Senior Brother, follow me and listen to my instructions. We will kill them together." Jiang Lingsu said.

Qi Yuan hesitated: "We are too weak. What if we can't defeat them?"

Jiang Lingsu smiled bitterly.

Senior Brother, you know you're weak.

She felt that if she hadn't come, Senior Brother would surely have followed them to cause trouble.

Senior Brother was different from ordinary people, with a unique thought process, and anything could happen.
"Don't worry, I have a treasure that can definitely kill them both.

Senior Brother, follow my lead and don't act rashly, or things might go wrong." Jiang Lingsu said, handing three talismans to Qi Yuan.

"These three talismans are Concealment Talisman, Copper Armor Talisman, and Water Escape Talisman.

They provide concealment, protection, and escape." Jiang Lingsu gave the talismans to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Junior Sister!"

"Senior Brother, use the Concealment Talisman and Copper Armor Talisman, and let's follow them."

"Alright." Though reluctant, Qi Yuan used the talismans.

The two of them, using the talismans, walked through the market.

The market people seemed oblivious to their presence.

They followed Zhu Lianhua and Wang Shuang out of the market.

Qi Yuan and Jiang Lingsu kept following behind.

"Senior Brother, stay close to me," Jiang Lingsu whispered.

She feared if Senior Brother was too far, she couldn't protect him if a fight broke out.

"Alright." Qi Yuan moved closer to Jiang Lingsu.

The distance between them was very close, and Jiang Lingsu could feel Qi Yuan's slightly nervous breathing, making her blush.

It was her first close encounter with a man.

But for Senior Brother's safety, she didn't hesitate, taking his hand: "Senior Brother, if there's danger, stay behind me."

"Alright, I'll protect you from behind!" Qi Yuan agreed, holding Jiang Lingsu's hand.

They secretly followed Zhu Lianhua and Wang Shuang. After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they entered a forest.

In this secluded place, few people came.

Jiang Lingsu remained calm, but Qi Yuan seemed nervous, his breathing rapid, making Jiang Lingsu feel a strange sensation.

"Senior Brother, when the time is right, we will attack and kill them."

"Attacking without honor, I understand this!"

"Yes, follow my lead." Jiang Lingsu emphasized.

Facing a perfected Foundation Establishment and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Jiang Lingsu knew she wasn't their match alone.

But with her numerous treasures, she could overwhelm the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They moved quietly, soon reaching the depths of the forest.

At this point, Wang Shuang and Zhu Lianhua stopped, seemingly discussing something.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan suddenly shouted, "Junior Sister, now is the best time, watch me sneak attack!"

With that, Qi Yuan charged with a kitchen knife.

Jiang Lingsu was dumbfounded.

She knew this was the best time for a sneak attack, but she needed time to prepare her treasures.

She planned to get ready and then tell Senior Brother she was about to attack, and he should stay behind.

Who knew Senior Brother was so impulsive!

Those were a perfected and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
You, a Qi Refining stage, charging like this?
And this is called a sneak attack?
Charging with a kitchen knife!

At this moment, Jiang Lingsu had no time to think.
