Chapter 43: A Chance Encounter with Li Mengxi, Her Speculation
“Yes, I’ve already broken through to the second layer of the foundation establishment realm.”
Looking at Nie Ling who pushed open the door and walked in, he indifferently replied and then asked.
“Fellow Daoist Nie, why did you look for me today?”
He looked at Nie Ling’s light green muslin dress and leisurely asked.
As for Nie Ling, she seemed somewhat uneasy under Su Yi’s gaze, and she turned her gaze to the side and replied, “fellow Daoist Su, you’ve already sold those low-and middle-grade medicinal pills. According to the ratio, you’ll receive a total of 400,000 yuan.”
As she spoke, she used the immortal destiny seal to transfer the money to Su Yi.
After receiving the money, Su Yi was first stunned. He asked, “is the Thousand Treasures Pavilion still putting a lot of pressure on the trading firm?”
Hearing Su Yi’s question, Nie Ling’s beautiful face instantly became serious as she replied, “yes, there are still too few low-level materials. In the Central Plains, the Thousand Treasures Pavilion has practically monopolized those foundation establishment realm demon beast materials.”
“If our Nie family’s trading company wants to develop, we have to spend a higher price to purchase materials from the person who sells demon beasts and the materials.”
“But fortunately, a demon beast hunter team came back from the mystic realm today and agreed to trade with our Nie family’s trading company. When that time comes, we won’t be so nervous about demon beast materials and so on.”
He nodded. The Nie family had to provide the demon beast materials themselves. He wasn’t a professional demon hunter team, so the materials he collected were not enough to cover the expenses of a trading company.
He looked at Nie Ling and said slowly, “it’s good that you can reduce the pressure. I can only help you with the medicinal pills.”
Hearing this, Nie Ling smiled and said gently, “fellow Daoist Su, don’t be modest. The medicinal pills you refined have helped our trading firm greatly.”
“It can be said that our Nie family’s trading firm is able to stabilize its foundation in the Central Plains because of your medicinal pills. It can be said that you are a great noble of our Nie family’s trading firm.”
“Is it that exaggerated?”
“Naturally. Oh right, the transaction with the demon beast hunter team is this afternoon. Do you want to come along?”
She looked at Su Yi with a hopeful gaze.
Su Yi looked out of the window. Now that he was in closed-door cultivation, even if a few days passed, he did not know how long it would take after he reached a higher realm.
Ten Days? A month? Or even a year.
The immortal path was long, and it was so far away. If he closed his eyes for an instant, it would be like the vicissitudes of the world.
He cast aside his thoughts and looked at Nie Ling.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Hearing this, Nie Ling’s eyes lit up with joy.
“Okay, I’ll go change and we’ll leave.”
With that, he left Su Yi’s room.
…
Soon, after changing, Nie Ling and Su Yi arrived at the first floor of the branch.
Just as Su Yi was about to step out of the door of the trading firm, a familiar voice sounded.
“Miss Nie, how have you been?”
Hearing this, the two of them turned their heads.
Seeing that the person was dressed in black, Nie Ling replied indifferently, “it’s Miss Li. Have you come to the Central Plains as well?”
“Yes.”
Li Mengxi nodded at Nie Ling and responded softly.
Su Yi was a little stunned. He did not expect to meet this woman again.
Similarly, after greeting Nie Ling, she turned to look at Su Yi at the side.
She had a strange expression on her face and asked with uncertainty.
“Su, Su Yi?”
Hearing this, he looked at that familiar figure and said with a faint smile.
“Haha, Miss Li, I thought you were a noble and forgetful person. I didn’t expect you to still remember a small figure like me.”
“Why are you here in Central Plains?”
Li Mengxi looked at Su Yi as if she had seen a ghost. Back then, when he awakened the immortal destiny seal, was he not designated as a no-rank spiritual root?
Back then, she had even wanted to invite Su Yi to join his Li clan’s demon beast hunting squad to anger that girl, Zhao Xuening.
However, after experiencing all sorts of things in the great desolate region, she had also become mature. Now that she thought about it, her actions back then were indeed a little childish.
Now that she had met Su Yi again, other than feeling a little shocked, her attitude was the same as before. After all, they had come from the same place.
“Why can’t I be in the Central Plains?”
“Don’t tell me you’re here to participate in the Tiandao sect’s grand competition,” Li Mengxi teased.
In her opinion, Su Yi must have come to the central plains with the help of some faction’s team.
However, before Su Yi could reply, Nie Ling spoke first.
“Miss Li, why can’t fellow Daoist Su participate in the sect’s grand competition?”
Hearing this, Li Mengxi raised her brows and said.
“Miss Nie, are you joking? You might not know this, but when he awakened his immortal destiny, he only had a no-grade spiritual root. How could he possibly participate in that heaven’s chosen gathering?”
“He has a no-grade spiritual root, if he didn’t have the resources, it would be difficult for him to build his foundation in this life.”
“Su Yi, what I said back then still stands. You can continue to consider it.”
Although Li Mengxi’s words were somewhat sorrowful, there was no ridicule in them. She even raised the condition that she had set back then.
Unexpectedly, when Nie Ling heard how she ridiculed Su Yi, she could not help but feel a wave of anger in her heart. She coldly looked at Li Mengxi and said, “Miss Li, it seems that your understanding of fellow Daoist Su is insufficient.”
Hearing Nie Ling’s words, Li Mengxi looked at Su Yi with some doubt.
She did not know why this Miss Nie was so protective of him. Could it be…
She seemed to have thought of something, but she was not too sure.
Then, her eyes moved slightly, and she said with an inexplicable tone.
“Miss Nie, does that mean you know Su Yi very well?”
“Of course, but fellow Daoist Su…”
Nie Ling said halfway, and then forcibly swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She glanced at Su Yi.
Seeing this, Li Mengxi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She had finally seen through something.
The young miss of the Nie family in front of her seemed to be paying attention to Su Yi’s opinion. It seemed like she had let the cat out of the bag.
If it was just the young miss of the Nie family who had taken a liking to him, she definitely would not have such an attitude.
Thinking back to the Shangyang City auction, many people wanted to find out who had sold the Dao-grade product, the mystic condensing pill.
However, they did not find anything. Even the Li family could only find a short sentence.
‘It was received by Miss Nie.’
With just a short sentence, and they did not find out who was the one selling the Dao-grade mystic condensing pill.
However, now, it seemed that Miss Nie was protecting Su Yi. There was a high chance that he was the one who sold the Dao-grade mystic condensing pill. In fact, it was possible that he was the one who refined it.
When he thought of this, Li Mengxi’s eyes lit up. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
Nie Ling seemed to have realized that she spoke too quickly. She looked at Su Yi with a questioning gaze.
“You won’t blame me, right?”
Regarding this, Su Yi could only chuckle. He no longer had any intention of continuing to tangle with Li Mengxi.
“Miss Li, if we still need to deal with it, we won’t accompany you.”
As he said this, he and Nie Ling wanted to turn around and leave the trading firm.
However, Li Mengxi, who had just become interested in Su Yi, would not let them leave so easily.
The corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile as she said this.
“Miss Nie, I wonder if you are participating in the Great Desolate Ruins?”
