Chapter 1016: An Apology Arrives!
While the Wind Sect's desire to vent its anger was one aspect, the greater attraction was the resources from the Heavenly Pivot Alliance.
The sect leader is definitely not willing to accept this.
Therefore, he intended to use this point to entice the sect leader to cooperate.
Seeing that the sect leader hesitated, he emphasized again, "You can think about this carefully. Anyway, you don't need to do anything. You just need to lure the people over!"
After saying that, he stood up and tossed a communication talisman to the sect leader.
"Contact me again if you're interested in collaborating."
Lin Xiao left quickly, just as mysteriously as he appeared.
The sect leader stared blankly at the communication talisman, his heart filled with conflicting emotions, unsure whether he should agree to cooperate.
After thinking for a moment, he headed towards the ancestor's cave.
I wanted to ask the ancestor for his opinion, but to my surprise, the ancestor had gone into seclusion and I couldn't contact him at all.
The sect leader's face twitched. He didn't need to guess why the ancestor had gone into seclusion at this critical juncture; it was clearly too embarrassing for him to see anyone.
Not to mention the patriarch, even he himself wanted to find a quiet place to hide away.
"Ugh!"
The sect leader sighed and was just about to leave when he received a message talisman from another sect leader.
Upon opening the audio, it was indeed filled with various jokes and banter.
Hearing that mocking tone, the sect leader's temples throbbed with anger, and his fury almost set him ablaze.
All of this was caused by Song Wanning!
While everyone was mocking their Fenglai Sect, Song Wanning received endless praise.
They made their name and fame by stepping on the backs of the Fenglai Sect; it's utterly despicable.
Thinking of this, the sect leader's eyes flashed.
Lin Xiao's proposed cooperation wasn't out of the question, since he wouldn't need to lift a finger; he just needed to lure the people out.
Once the thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
He took out a communication talisman and sent a message to Lin Xiao.
"What do you want me to do?"
……
"Alliance Leader, are we just going to let this matter drop like this?"
Yun Yangzi frowned as he looked at the many cultivators who had arrived outside.
If those people can be deterred, the island can become increasingly prosperous.
But if it can't be controlled, it might produce many people with evil intentions.
Song Wanning calmly closed the ledger. Judging from the accounts, the Tian Shu Alliance's income had increased several times in recent days. The pills were selling the best, and many people were willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.
This exposure is also an opportunity for the Tian Shu Alliance to rise to an even more powerful position.
So she wasn't really angry.
"It's alright, as long as the Fenglai Sect behaves themselves, this matter will be difficult to investigate!"
After all, this is a time when manpower is needed, and we can't let a small dispute lead to a major conflict, which would result in great sacrifices for both sides.
However, while she was considering the bigger picture, she suddenly heard that people from the Fenglai Sect had come to offer gifts and apologize.
"Oh?"
Song Wanning raised an eyebrow, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.
How could the people from the Fenglai Sect possibly apologize?
This is not normal.
Yun Yangzi frowned, exchanged a subtle glance with Song Wanning, and then invited her in.
Yunyangzi was very familiar with the person sent this time; it was Wu Meng, who had visited several times before.
Wu Meng strode into the Alliance Leader's Hall, holding a box in his hands, but cursing under his breath.
He came here a few times for the sake of the sect, and now he has to come out to apologize.
He was so frustrated!
However, he dared not show it at all, and respectfully bowed to Song Wanning while holding the box.
"Alliance Leader Song, this is a gift specially sent by my sect. I hope that Alliance Leader Song will put aside past grievances and have more dealings with my Fenglai Sect!"
Following the sect leader's instructions, Wu Meng suppressed his frustration and spoke.
"Oh?"
Song Wanning leaned on the desk with one hand, a hint of amusement in her eyes. The Fenglai Sect was like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—they had no good intentions!
"Let me take a look."
She beckoned, and the box immediately flew into her hand.
Yunyangzi stood to one side, looking at the box with a wary expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Wu Meng was even angrier. He had eagerly brought the gift, but the other party was still wary and didn't trust him at all.
His face flushed with anger, and he felt even more aggrieved.
Song Wanning didn't seem to care much and simply opened the box.
To their astonishment, it turned out to be a key.
What is this?
She picked up the keys and looked at them curiously.
The key was made of iron, mostly rusted, and the pattern on it was quite beautiful, like... a river.
Song Wanning's gaze darkened slightly as she tried to guess Feng Laizong's intentions.
At this moment, Wu Meng said, "This is the key to the Spirit Rhinoceros Secret Realm, and it is extremely precious."
"We hope that the Tian Shu Alliance will consider the sincerity of our Feng Lai Sect and stop spreading untrue rumors."
During this period, he had truly had enough of those people's stares and mocking words.
And all of this was at the behest of the person in front of us.
"Hehehe..."
Song Wanning suddenly laughed, her eyes crinkling at the corners, her smile radiant.
She stared at Wu Meng, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Alright, please thank your family for their kindness. I will definitely cherish it..."
Even though he was smiling and his tone was polite, Wu Meng couldn't help but swallow hard, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
He felt as if he had done something wrong, but he didn't know what it was.
"Then I shall take my leave!"
As if being chased by a ghost, he dared not delay for a moment and strode away without looking back.
After he left, Yunyangzi quickly came over to take a look.
"Leader, there's definitely something fishy going on here, you..."
The Fenglai Sect was just dealt with by them, how could they possibly offer them treasures?
There must be something fishy going on here.
Song Wanning was well aware of this, but she looked at the key with a playful expression and a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
"This was probably someone else's idea..."
She didn't know who had gotten involved, but she could roughly figure out who it was.
They are either intruders, or Gong Yuanhua and Lin Xiao.
"Then we definitely can't go."
Yun Yangzi's face darkened, and he became even more anxious.
Because he could tell that Song Wanning was moved.
Song Wanning smiled reassuringly at him, "Grandpa, you don't need to worry about me. I know what I'm doing."
"If trouble is going to happen, there's no escaping it. Rather than being constantly targeted, it's better to take the initiative."
If all else fails, then I can just run away. Anyway, with the Formless Lamp, I'll have a way out.
Yunyangzi knew he couldn't persuade Song Wanning, so he gave up and sighed.
Now that Song Wanning is no longer the little girl she was in the lower realm, he has no way to interfere.
So I could only give a few words of advice before leaving to get back to work.
After he left, Song Wanning glanced at the key a few more times, and then sent a message to the sect leader of the Wuji Sect.
Ask him about the Lingxi Secret Realm.
He was very surprised to learn that Song Wanning had actually obtained a key.
"There are only one hundred keys to the Lingxi Secret Realm. They were scattered during the anomaly ten thousand years ago, and they haven't all been found yet."
"The Wind Comes Sect is actually willing to give you such an expensive treasure?!"
