Chapter 700: Chapter 667: Raid Her Den_1

Qin Feiyang walked over to the tea table and sat down.

Yin Yuanming also stepped forward, picked up the teapot to pour tea, completely ignoring Ren Wushuang who was standing nearby.

Ren Wushuang furrowed her delicate brows and asked, “Steward Yin, is my presence really so insignificant?”

“Hmm?” Yin Yuanming was taken aback. He turned to look at her, his expression changing slightly. He hurriedly said, “Oh, isn’t this Miss Ren? When did you arrive?”

Qin Feiyang had just raised his teacup for a sip when he heard this and promptly spat his tea out.

What kind of perception does this Old Fox have? Someone has been standing there for ages, and he didn’t notice? It looks like Yin Yuanming is about to offend this young lady.

Sure enough, Ren Wushuang’s face immediately darkened. Her jade-like hands clenched into fists, and she glared viciously at Yin Yuanming.

“Ahem!” Qin Feiyang coughed drily, kindly reminding him, “She came with me.”

“What?” Yin Yuanming’s expression changed drastically. He quickly offered an apologetic smile, “Miss Ren, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. Please, take a seat.”

“Hmph!” Ren Wushuang snorted coldly and sat opposite Qin Feiyang, her expression clearly displeased.

What is this young lady doing here? Yin Yuanming wondered, looking puzzled. He secretly wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, then turned back to the tea table and began to enthusiastically play the host.

Qin Feiyang put down his teacup and said with a faint smile, “There’s no need for such pleasantries. Let’s get down to business.”

“Business?” Yin Yuanming was taken aback, asking suspiciously, “Aren’t you here to deliver medicinal pills?”

“Are medicinal pills the only thing you see?” Qin Feiyang frowned.

“Nonsense! I’m a businessman, so naturally, we talk about business. Did you expect me to flirt with you instead?” Yin Yuanming rolled his eyes.

Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. He said helplessly, “I’ve only just returned and haven’t had time to refine them yet. I’ve come to you now because I want to ask a favor.”

“What is it?” Yin Yuanming put down his teacup, looking at him suspiciously.

Qin Feiyang said, “I have someone very important to me whom I’d like to entrust to your Treasure Pavilion.”

“Who might that be?” Yin Yuanming asked.

“Her name is Lo Qianxue.” With a wave of Qin Feiyang’s hand, Lo Qianxue suddenly materialized out of thin air.

Lo Qianxue bowed and said, “Greetings, Steward Yin.”

“No need for formalities, no need at all!” Yin Yuanming quickly waved his hands.

He must be joking. This young man said this woman is very important to him; how could I dare to put on airs?

After observing Lo Qianxue for a moment, Yin Yuanming turned to Qin Feiyang and frowned. “Brother Qin, given our relationship, I’m certainly willing to help with this small matter. However, you also know that our Treasure Pavilion is, after all, a place of business.”

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile. “Back when Aunt Xue was in Iron Bull Town, she was also the Pavilion Master of a Treasure Pavilion. Later, she also managed the affairs of the Treasure Pavilion in Yan City. She knows the workings of your Treasure Pavilion like the back of her hand.”

Yin Yuanming was momentarily stunned, then chuckled, “So, she’s one of our own!”

Qin Feiyang smiled and added, “Have you ever heard of a man named Jiang Zhengyi?”

“Of course, I know him,” Yin Yuanming sighed. “He was the previous Grand Pavilion Master of Yan Province—very dedicated and highly capable. In fact, our current Grand Pavilion Master even intended to transfer him to the main state office. It’s such a pity he passed away in his prime!”

Qin Feiyang said, “Aunt Xue is his wife.”

“What?” Yin Yuanming shot up from his seat, staring at Lo Qianxue in disbelief. “You… you were husband and wife?”

“Yes,” Lo Qianxue nodded, her expression tinged with sorrow.

I never imagined I’d meet Jiang Zhengyi’s widow. Yin Yuanming thought. He then said decisively, “Alright. I’ll go find the Grand Pavilion Master immediately and arrange a position for you.”

“Thank you,” Lo Qianxue bowed gratefully.

“As I said, there’s no need for such formality,” Yin Yuanming chuckled. “Setting aside Qin Feiyang’s connection, just based on Jiang Zhengyi’s standing, we are obligated to take good care of you.”

Qin Feiyang said, “Those are your words. If I’m in the Imperial Capital and hear that Aunt Xue has suffered any grievance, I will definitely not let you off easily.”

Yin Yuanming straightened his posture and declared, “Fine! If that day truly comes, I’ll leave my fate to your judgment.”

“Thank you.” Qin Feiyang stood up and cupped his fists in gratitude.

To leave Lo Qianxue in Spirit State, he had to arrange a suitable place for her. The Treasure Pavilion in the State City was undoubtedly the best option. He could only be at ease if she stayed there.

Yin Yuanming laughed. “Brother Qin, now that Lo Qianxue’s matter is settled, shall we discuss the medicinal pills?”

Qin Feiyang replied, “Alright. Give me the numbers, and I’ll start refining them immediately.”

“So straightforward?” Yin Yuanming paused, then a wide grin spread across his face. “In that case, I’ll be direct: 3,000 Vermilion Glazed Pills, 500 Potential Elixirs, and 100,000 of each of the other top-grade pills.”

Qin Feiyang’s face darkened, veins throbbing on his forehead. Isn’t this a wildly outrageous demand?

“Are you trying to pick a fight?” The Wolf King also glared at Yin Yuanming with ill intent.

“Don’t misunderstand,” Yin Yuanming said. “We will provide all the medicinal ingredients. You only need to be responsible for the refining.”

“Hmm?” Qin Feiyang was slightly taken aback and frowned. “Do you actually have that many medicinal ingredients for Potential Elixirs and Vermilion Glazed Pills?”

“Of course,” Yin Yuanming said with a cunning smile. “To tell you the truth, the Grand Pavilion Master long predicted that you would eventually enter the Imperial Capital. So, during the years you participated in the Nine States War, the Grand Pavilion Master personally traveled to the other Eight Great States and collected a vast amount of medicinal materials.”

“Huh!” Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King exchanged a look of astonishment. They hadn’t expected this Grand Pavilion Master to be even more audacious than they were!

Qin Feiyang said teasingly, “Aren’t you afraid that the State Administrators of those Eight Great States will come looking for trouble when they find out?”

“We acquired them legitimately with money. What grounds do they have to trouble us?” Yin Yuanming scoffed.

“You guys are impressive,” Qin Feiyang gave a thumbs-up and chuckled. “However, you also know my rule: the refined pills must be split fifty-fifty.”

“This…” Yin Yuanming frowned, then put on a fawning smile. “Brother Qin, you’re heading to the Imperial Capital soon and might never return in your lifetime. Could you perhaps offer a small discount? Besides,” he quickly added, “our friendship runs so deep. Think of it as a farewell gift to us, how about it?”

Qin Feiyang mused for a moment, then held up three fingers. “A thirty-seventy split. That’s my absolute bottom line.”

“Deal!” Yin Yuanming nodded decisively.

After all, they had known each other for so long, and he understood Qin Feiyang’s character quite well. Expecting him to perform Alchemy for the Treasure Pavilion for free was definitely impossible. Therefore, managing to secure a thirty-seventy split was already quite satisfactory to him.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a powerful aura descended upon the State City. At that instant, everyone in the city was alarmed. Qin Feiyang and the others in the lounge also looked up in surprise.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Following that, several more terrifying auras descended one after another over the State City.

Ren Wushuang frowned. “Could it be people from the Imperial Capital coming to escort us?”

“No,” Yin Yuanming explained. “Your journey to the Imperial Capital will be led by the former State Administrator; the Imperial Capital won’t send anyone personally. Moreover, people from the Imperial Capital wouldn’t come unless something exceptionally significant occurred. Besides, while these auras are powerful, they are still considerably weaker than those from the Imperial Capital. By my estimation, they should be on par with our State Administrator.”

“On par with Grandfather…” Ren Wushuang mused for a moment, then asked in surprise, “Could it be the State Administrators from the other Eight Great States?”

“It’s possible,” Yin Yuanming nodded, frowning. “But what would they be doing here in our Spirit State?”

Qin Feiyang said, “They’re probably here for me.”

“For you?” Yin Yuanming looked skeptical.

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. “In the Netherworld, I killed quite a few of their people. For several states, their entire forces were annihilated.”

“Huh!” Yin Yuanming stared at him, stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile. “You really are a vicious fellow.”

“Don’t worry. With the State Administrator present, they wouldn’t dare do anything to you. I’ll go fetch the medicinal ingredients now.” With that, Yin Yuanming turned and strode out of the lounge.

Watching Yin Yuanming leave, a cold glint flashed in the Wolf King’s eyes. “Xiao Qinzi, how about we take this opportunity to pay a visit to Yun State?”

“What do you mean?” Qin Feiyang frowned.

The Wolf King sneered, “You haven’t forgotten about Fatty’s blood feud, have you?”

“Of course not,” Qin Feiyang said.

“What are you two talking about? What blood feud does Fatty have?” Ren Wushuang looked from Qin Feiyang to the Wolf King, thoroughly confused.

The Wolf King gave a mysterious smile. “Miss Ren, some things are best left unknown to you.”

“You…” Ren Wushuang was about to flare up when Qin Feiyang interjected, “Older Sister, could you do me a favor and see if the Yun State Administrator has arrived?”

Ren Wushuang huffed, “You refuse to tell me anything, so why should I help you?”

“If you won’t go, I will. What’s the big deal?” The Wolf King scoffed, took two teleporting gates from Qin Feiyang, and vanished instantly.

That wretched wolf cub… Ren Wushuang fumed, stamping her foot. She glared at Qin Feiyang. “If you don’t tell me why Father stayed behind in the ruins, I’ll stick to you like glue!”

“I don’t mind at all,” Qin Feiyang grinned. “Having a great beauty by my side is quite easy on the eyes.”

“You’re shameless!” Ren Wushuang seethed, glaring daggers at him.

Qin Feiyang merely chuckled, unfazed.

TAP, TAP, TAP.

Along with the sound of footsteps, Yin Yuanming returned, holding a Qiankun Bag. He scanned the room and asked, puzzled, “Where’s that Rogue Wolf?”

Qin Feiyang replied, “He went to gather some news.”

“Oh.” Yin Yuanming nodded, handed the Qiankun Bag to Qin Feiyang, and smiled. “When can we expect the pills?”

Qin Feiyang glanced at the medicinal ingredients inside the Qiankun Bag, then stored it in his ancient castle. He said with a faint smile, “I’ll have someone deliver them to you once they’re refined.”

“Excellent, excellent!” Yin Yuanming nodded repeatedly, his face beaming.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, the Wolf King materialized out of thin air. “That old hag has arrived. She’s in the grand hall with the Old Master right now.”

“Good.” A dangerous glint flashed in Qin Feiyang’s eyes. Since she’s come looking for trouble with us, we’ll go raid her den!

“Feiyang,” Lo Qianxue cautioned, “even if the Yun State Administrator isn’t present, the Ten Great Commanders are still there. Fatty’s enemy is also very strong, so you must be extremely careful.”

Qin Feiyang said, “Aunt Xue, I know.”

Lo Qianxue smiled. “It’s good that you know. Go on then. Resolving this matter will also help lift a great burden from Fatty’s heart.”
