Chapter 2791: Chapter 2792: He Doesn’t Care
The shadowy figure did not respond, because as soon as it received the stone, it couldn’t wait to extend several tendrils, deeply piercing into the stone.
The tendrils sucked forcefully, and streams of grayish light surged out from the stone, then flowed along the tendrils into the shadow.
The shadow let out a sound of extreme pleasure, but this state did not last long.
As the tendrils continued to suck, the gray on the stone rapidly faded, eventually turning it into a ghastly white stone.
Crack!
The stone hit the ground, crumbling into powder.
The shadow leaned back in the chair, silent for a long time, seemingly savoring the aftertaste of the extreme pleasure.
After a while, it sighed softly, "It still has to be the wish power from these young literati! Not only is it refined, but it also has a certain chewiness, just one bite can make one forget all troubles! Unfortunately, there’s just too little of it!"
Speaking, it looked somewhat discontentedly at Yun Lingxuan across from it, "Can’t you store a bit more wish power?"
Yun Lingxuan shrugged, "It’s just equivalent exchange. What you give me is so little, naturally, I can only give you this much!"
With that, Yun Lingxuan stood up, intending to leave.
At that moment, the shadow suddenly said, "Miss Yun, actually I’ve always been a bit curious, why you go to such lengths to collect so much information about him?"
Yun Lingxuan’s body trembled slightly, then she said faintly, "That seems to be none of your concern! We are merely trading partners meeting each other’s needs."
"Hehe, no need to be so tense. You know, beings like us don’t have your humans’ shallow and laughable sense of righteousness and morality, so providing you this information means nothing to me."
"Besides, even if you don’t tell me, I know. Collecting information with such painstaking effort, you must be looking for a chance for revenge, right? No, no, no, no need to get tense, nor need to draw out your Fang Ancient Mirror, it’s all just my reasonable speculation!"
"After all, with his ways, who knows how many enemies and foes he has provoked over the endless years. Even as his chief steward, I cannot count them all! So if my guess is right, you must also be one of those many foes of his!"
Yun Lingxuan’s previously menacing eyebrows gradually relaxed, and she said in a cold tone, "So what if I am?"
"Hehehe, I knew it. Miss Yun, though all this has nothing to do with me, given the joy you’ve brought me, I’d still like to offer you a piece of advice!"
"What?"
"Don’t indulge in impractical dreams. Your painstaking collection of information all these years was just to kill him with your own hands, wasn’t it? But that’s impossible, because you can’t even begin to imagine how powerful he is!"
"Everything you’ve done so far is nothing but a laughable joke in front of him! I am even certain he knows that I’ve been selling his information, but what does it matter?"
"He doesn’t even bother to care about it, because he doesn’t care!"
As the shadow spoke, Yun Lingxuan’s face grew increasingly pale, yet the determination in her eyes did not wane in the slightest.
"That he doesn’t care is his business, but I must do it, and I’m confident that I will personally bring him down!"
The shadow chuckled, "Human foolish and blind courage, eh? Fine, let’s just say I didn’t say anything. Good luck, I hope the next offering satisfies me!"
With that, the shadow dispersed and vanished.
Yun Lingxuan stood in place momentarily, then resolutely turned around and pushed open the door, leaving the private room.
"Miss!"
Tuan’er hurriedly came up, looking concerned.
"Let’s go!"
Yun Lingxuan and Tuan’er donned their hats again and left the tavern.
At the same moment, Xue An, accompanied by Ren Ning, Sheng Hongqian, and others, had already appeared on the streets of Xihua City.
"Wow, is this the famed Xihua City? It looks so prosperous!" Zhang Xiaoqiang exclaimed.
"Alright, second brother, mind your appearance, don’t act like someone who’s never seen the world!" Niu Dali said, trying to appear calm.
But the sparkle in his eyes already betrayed his true thoughts.
Even those like Fu Yuanfeng and Zhuang Manni, who have been to Xihua City a few times, couldn’t hide the excitement on their faces at this moment.
Indeed!
This time, along with Xue An, not only did people from Dragon Tiger Stronghold come, but also these young talents from Ling’an Domain.
After attending Zhuo Benzheng and Qie Weilan’s wedding in the city beyond, Fu Yuanfeng and the others, led by him, did not go back but directly followed Xue An to the Central Region.
At this moment, Sheng Hongqian asked, "Sir, where do we go next?"
Yes, where to?
Everyone focused their gaze on Xue An.
Xue An did not speak right away but kept looking west. When everyone asked, he finally reined in his gaze and said calmly.
"Let’s first check in at Qisi Poetry Society! After all, the general literary meeting is hosted by them, we should give them some face, shouldn’t we?"
Everyone nodded.
"Exactly, just like that, let’s check in first and let these guys know we’ve come from Ling’an Domain!" Bao Luo from Yunjing City excitedly punched the air.
Fu Yuanfeng also nodded, "Right, if the name isn’t right, the words won’t follow. As we’re here to dispel rumors, we’ll naturally be forthright!"
But Xue An didn’t think too much about it; he simply thought they should visit Qisi Poetry Society.
After all, the Sage of Literature’s token was still with him!
Qisi Poetry Society was not difficult to find; Xue An didn’t even have to ask for directions. Following the literary aura, he smoothly arrived at the front of Qisi’s main office.
Like others seeing Qisi’s main office for the first time, Fu Yuanfeng and the others were deeply shocked.
"I’ve long heard that Qisi Poetry Society’s main office is distinctive. Today, I’ve witnessed it!" Fu Yuanfeng sighed bitterly.
"Is this shabby building, which looks like it could collapse at any moment, really the renowned main office of Qisi Poetry Society?" Bao Luo from Yunjing City still found it hard to believe.
Only Zhuang Manni snorted coldly, "Fame-seeking!"
She didn’t hold a good opinion of Qisi Poetry Society, especially after the Ling’an Literary Assembly incident.
Xue An said nothing, only coolly remarked, "You all don’t have to go inside; just wait outside!"
With that, Xue An stepped up the stairs and headed towards the Qisi main office.
Stepping over the threshold, a challengingly designed courtyard awaited him.
In the muddy water, only a few scattered stones were available to step on.
Seeing this scene, a cold smile graced Xue An’s lips.
With his immense strength, he could easily see through the ruse behind it.
The so-called muddy path was actually a test for guests by the Qisi main office.
"Child’s play!"
With those words, Xue An stepped onto the first stone.
