Chapter 90: Meet Again 2(1/3)
He was dressed in purple, his black hair was bound by a white jade crown, his thin lips were slightly raised, showing an evil smile, shaking a paper fan in his hand, and walked over side by side with a middle-aged man.
Following Shang Nan was a handsome and elegant man in Tsing Yi, who might be another of Yin Tianjue's subordinates.
Xia Bei didn't come this time, he is probably still tracing her whereabouts.
His appearance immediately drew sideways glances from everyone present, and he seemed to attract more attention than her.
Everyone present stood up and bowed to salute them.
Yan Qiqi's nervousness just now has long since disappeared. Anyway, her current makeup is not visible even to herself, let alone others, so there is nothing to worry about.
So, he also stood up and bowed in style.
When she sat down, Hua Liufeng whispered to her: "Master, you are the master of the Tiansha Sect. Although you are a member of the martial arts community, you are not subject to the supervision of the alliance chief. The court has no control over it, so you don't need to salute them."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yan Qiqi rolled her eyes at him. However, it seemed that the master of the sect was quite majestic and did not need to salute when he saw the prince, which was a bit satisfying.
Hua Liufeng rubbed the tip of her nose. Before he could say anything, she had already bent down.
At this time, Yin Tianjue walked past her without showing any signs of strangeness. It seemed that Hua Liufeng's disguise skills had reached the point where she could hide everything from the outside world.
When he got to the front seat, Yin Tianjue sat there and sipped tea leisurely. He didn't say a word, but his eyes kept searching around, as if he was looking for someone.
Only the leader of the alliance kept talking about things in the martial arts world.
"Master, that stinky girl is not here." Shang Nan looked at everyone and said with a frown.
Yan Qiqi, this stinky girl, must teach her a lesson when he finds her.
What happened last time made him lose face. Now Xia Bei still laughs at him from time to time. This bad breath has been hard to swallow.
"Yeah." Yin Tianjue put down the teacup and looked around again, but still didn't find that familiar figure.
Xia Bei searched for several days but found no news. Then he returned to search and asked the innkeeper along the way, only to find out that she and Mo Chengyu were together, and the three of them went to Yuecheng.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Mo Chengyu.
Two days ago, I brought Mo Lin to the house and used coercion, inducement, and coaxing to get words out of him.
Only then did they realize that they were separated in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the imperial city.
He also sent people to search for it, but to no avail.
Thinking that she should hide in the imperial city, he took advantage of this martial arts conference and asked people to spread the announcement of the martial arts conference in the city. If she saw it, she might come to join in the fun, and she might even encounter it.
If it weren't for looking for Yan Qiqi, he wouldn't have participated in this boring martial arts competition.
However, this time he made a mistake. This girl didn't come to join in the fun, or she didn't go to the imperial city at all.
At this time, Leader Yu said in a calm voice: "All the rewards for this competition are sponsored by His Highness Prince Rui. There are three prizes in total. The first treasure is a thousand-year blood ginseng, and the second treasure is a handful of green ginseng.
Sharp Sword, the third piece is fifty thousand taels of gold."
As soon as his words came out, everyone below was shocked.
Thousand-year-old blood ginseng is difficult to buy even if you have money, and its medicinal value is extremely high. The Qingfeng sword is a military treasure and a sword coveted by martial arts people. Fifty thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, it can buy a small town.
Of course, the people here are all martial arts people, most of them want the Qingfeng sword, a few want the thousand-year blood ginseng, and only a few want the 50,000 taels of gold.
Of course, Yan Qiqi was among these few people. She only had gold in her eyes, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she thought about the piles of gold.
Leader Yu asked people to carry the three prizes up and reveal the treasures to the world.
Then, the competition began.
The principle of the competition is that each treasure must be beaten until no one comes up to challenge it. However, each person can only participate once and cannot continue to challenge the next one, which means that there can only be one at most.
The first thing to compete is the Millennium Blood Ginseng.
Soon, two people competed on the red carpet. The competition was not only for rewards, but the most important thing was for status in the martial arts world.
Yan Qiqi was not interested in the Millennium Blood Ginseng, she was interested in the box of gold.
Looking at the box full of golden ingots, my eyes also glowed with gold.
A lot of gold, how many good things can it buy? Yin Tianjue, a prodigal, can buy so much gold at once.
Thinking about how he used to keep the banknotes she found from dead people as his own, and how he was so rich but still greedy for her little money. Thinking about it, he became angry and couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Yin Tianjue fiercely.
He glared.
At this time, Yin Tianjue's eyes happened to turn around, and their eyes collided.
Yan Qiqi immediately put away her murderous gaze, turned her head, and fanned the paper fan as if nothing happened.
Yin Tianjue looked at her, couldn't help but frown, and tapped the leader Yu next to him with a paper fan, "President Yu, who is the man wearing the mask?"
"She is the new head of the Tiansha Sect." Leader Yu touched his beard on his chin and said slightly:
"Ming Yan died in a fight with Yue Qingzi not long ago, so he was put in charge of the Tiansha Sect. But I have never heard of this person. However, she should have some abilities. Otherwise, the Tiansha Sect would not be like this now.
Quiet.
I heard from spies that she demoted Elder Lin from the Tiansha Sect to the position of deputy hall leader on the first day she took office. She has not caused any riot yet, so she must be quite capable."
There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes as he spoke, and he sighed slightly, "If the Tiansha Sect can submit to the martial arts world, it will be a blessing to the martial arts world."
When Ming Yan was alive, he tried many times to win over him, but he did not let him wash his hands in a golden basin and return to the upright side.
I wanted to eradicate them, but I didn't have the strength. What's more, most of the people they killed were people who deserved to die. They helped the martial arts a lot, but they also killed a lot of people who didn't deserve to die.
I hope that this new sect leader can make the Tiansha Sect go on the right path. Even if it doesn't go on the right path, it's best not to go on the evil path.
"Who is she?" Yin Tianjue didn't know why, but he suddenly became interested in this person.
Leader Yu shook his head, "I don't know either. This person seems to have appeared out of thin air. I sent people to inquire many times but to no avail. I don't even know his name."
The change of ownership of the Tiansha Sect was quite important, so he would naturally send people to investigate, but to no avail.
Yin Tianjue said "Oh", glanced at Yan Qiqi again, and then turned his eyes elsewhere.
"Master, what do you want? We must participate in at least one item." Hua Liufeng asked in a low voice.
Yan Qiqi said without hesitation: "I want fifty thousand taels of gold."
Hua Liufeng trembled her lips, wondering what kind of sect leader this was, and sighed slightly: "Okay, you will have to go into battle in person at that time. Only the heads of each sect can participate in this competition."
"What, I'm participating?" Yan Qiqi's brows suddenly furrowed. Her specialty is assassination, and she is not good at combat.
What's more, the people here are good at Qinggong and have strong internal strength. Her mediocre martial arts is not enough to fill her teeth.
"Yeah." Hua Liufeng nodded and said, "Master Sect, believe in yourself. You can take out the seal from the secret room, so you are naturally very capable. Besides, you now have all the internal strength of the Master of the Underworld Sect in your body. It is naturally difficult to deal with some inferior sects.
No problem."
"Okay, let me give it a try." Yan Qiqi curled her lips and said reluctantly.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Is it possible that she, a new and extremely smart young man in the 21st century, is still afraid of these ancients?
Gold was in the last competition, so Yan Qiqi chatted with Hua Liufeng and the other four in boredom.
Well, it should be said that there were three of them. Shuishui Shang didn't say a word from beginning to end, just standing behind her like a door god.
"By the way, let me ask a question." Yan Qiqi glanced at Yin Tianjue and whispered to them.
Luyi smiled lightly and said, "Master, if you have any questions, just ask."
"That is, how much is Yin Tianjue's head worth?" A calculating light appeared in Yan Qiqi's eyes.
She had asked him the price per head before, but Yin Tianjue gave her an ambiguous answer at that time. The specific price was not known.
"Prince Rui is a prince, and the people who want to buy his head are some of the emperor's nobles and monarchs of other countries. The price is almost astronomical. However, the prices given by different buyers are also different." Hua Liufeng said quietly.
"What's the difference?" Yan Qiqi gestured for him to continue. She had already heard Yin Tianjue himself say that the price was high.
Hua Liufeng continued: "If it is sold to some royal people in this country who want to kill him, it can be sold for five hundred thousand taels of gold. If it is sold to the monarch of Feng Shang Country, it can be sold for one million taels of gold."
"Wow, his head is so valuable." Yan Qiqi was immediately shocked.
Turning to look at Yin Tianjue, there was a hint of the burning gaze of a wolf seeing a sheep in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smack his lips.
One million taels of gold. His whole body was made of gold. No, it should be more valuable than a gold man who weighed as much as him. How could he not make her heart move?
Looking at her hungry wolf-like eyes, Hua Liufeng sighed slightly, "Master, it's better not to accept his mission. The Master of the Underworld Sect asked us not to accept his mission before he was alive."
Green Yi also hurriedly said: "Not long ago, Elder Lin took over his mission without permission, and more than four hundred brothers died in total. Five sects including the Night Gate of the Poisonous Insect Cult tried their best but failed to get his head."
"Oh." Yan Qiqi shook the paper fan, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "I'd better leave his head first and wait until I have a chance to pick it up."
Not all tasks in their line of work need to be accepted, and they have to check whether they have the ability. Otherwise, it will only increase casualties and the gain will not be worth the loss.
It's just a pity. One million taels of gold, piled together, is a small mountain of gold.
When I think about the brilliant gold, I can only imagine it, and I feel very emotional.
I couldn't help but turn to Yin Tianjue again and take a few more glances. This person is a small golden mountain. You must be addicted to it.
Seeing her looking over again, Yin Tianjue couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that she fell in love with him? Of course, it wasn't because she liked him, but because of his head.
It's just that this person is not very good at pretending. His eyes are so obvious. Doesn't he take this dignified King Rui seriously?
Yin Tianjue glanced down at the table, his eyes flashing slightly, he reached for a teacup and poured a full glass of wine.
To be continued...
