Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 707 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 15

"I don't want to be one, it's too much trouble." She's not the kind of person who's suited to worrying about the world; a life that's too mentally and physically demanding isn't for her.

Although she was capable of doing it herself, she just didn't want to; she preferred to do nothing and enjoy life.

Xiao Qi: "So you're saying we should change the emperor? Do you mean Li Chenzhou?"

"I think he hasn't woken up and stepped out of his character's mindset yet. Do you think the way the Power Gang acts makes him seem so repressed?"

"Host, what do you plan to do?"

"Let's take it one step at a time. I'll come back next time."

After visiting the palace, Wen Piaoran had a better understanding of the situation: the current emperor was a tough guy internally but cowardly externally.

When the Northern Wilderness invaded, he didn't dare to be too assertive even though he had subordinates he could use; he could only suspect this person and that person.

Qingyun Sect

Wen Piaoran sat at the head of the council hall, with Yunshang and the eighteen elders seated below him.

"Sect Master, I fought that person, but unfortunately he only took one palm strike from me before running away," the Thirteenth Elder said with regret.

They were talking about how a man in black robes had infiltrated the Qingyun Sect and was trying to ambush the sect's elders.

The Sixth Elder quickly added, "And me too. He tried to absorb my internal energy, but when he realized he was no match for me, he ran away. I didn't even have a chance to make a move."

"Who on earth is this person? Even you can't catch them." The Third Elder said in disbelief.

"I also witnessed it. During the fight, I felt that the internal energy within that person was very mixed, as if it had absorbed the internal energy of many people," the Eleventh Elder said after a moment of contemplation.

The First Elder stood up with a serious expression, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Sect Master, someone dares to provoke our Qingyun Sect. We must not let them get away with this easily and must find the culprit."

"I second that." The others also stood up and bowed in agreement.

"Seconded."

All eighteen elders stood up, their expressions respectful, their heads bowed as they awaited the sect leader's orders—truly befitting the style of a major sect.

Wen Piaoran and Yunshang exchanged a glance. Only the two of them knew the plot; none of the elders knew.

I didn't expect this villain to be so bold as to dare to infiltrate the Qingyun Sect and cause trouble. It seems he really covets their strength.

Many people in the Power Gang have been turned, but in their Qingyun Sect, only ordinary disciples can be turned.

Seeing her mistress's expression, Yunshang guessed what she meant: "You all go back first. I will discuss this matter with the sect leader."

The eighteen puppets, who were absolutely obedient to the sect leader and deputy sect leader, naturally had no objections and did not ask any further questions.

"Yes, Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master, we will take our leave now."

After the elders left, Yunshang looked at Wen Piaoran, who was drinking tea: "Master, are you not going to deal with that person yet?"

"Yes, we don't need to do it ourselves, just reveal his identity."

It would be a waste of his talents for him to personally commit the murder; he doesn't deserve to make the trip himself.

Unless you bump into her yourself, it's more interesting to leave it to someone else.

However, not killing doesn't mean making people feel comfortable. She instructed Yunshang to find an opportunity to give the villain Xiao Kaiyan some torturous drugs, so that he would suffer physical and mental pain every day from now on.

Xiao Qi suddenly appeared in the hall, sitting in the seat closest to the two of them.

Seeing the two looking at it with suspicion, it chuckled and said, "Host, Yunshang, I came out to invite you to watch the show."

Xiao Qi said with a grin, and then grabbed a piece of pastry from the table to eat.

"What's all the commotion about?" Yunshang asked.

Xiao Qi didn't say it directly, but looked at Wen Piaoran, gestured to her with her eyes, and waved the pastry in her hand.

Wen Piaoran understood what the foodie meant, and helplessly put down his teacup. With a wave of his hand, a pile of food appeared on the table next to the three of them.

"Thank you, host." Xiao Qi said with a smile, and a blue screen appeared in front of the three of them, playing a video.

The scene was chaotic, with Xiao Qiushui and Liu Suifeng leading their respective groups in a fierce battle.

"The last time we met, their relationship wasn't so tense. Is this the start of another dramatic turn of events?"

Wen Piaoran glanced at the two people meditating on the side of the screen; they were the two leaders of Shaolin and Wudang, respectively.

"The Xiao family is not besieged now. Have these two sect leaders come out of seclusion? Or is it the villains' doing?"

"Yes, host. Liu Suifeng took orders from the fake Li Chenzhou and led his men to kill the two sect leaders. They were allies found by Xiao Qiushui. They had just arranged a meeting when they were tricked. The villain is really wicked."

Yunshang didn't seem to care: "Will Master go to help?"

Wen Piaoran watched the scene unfold, where Xiao Qiushui and Liu Suifeng were evenly matched, with Liu Suifeng seemingly at a slight disadvantage.

She slowly shook her head: "I won't go. This is the male lead's opportunity. Someone will always give him internal energy and martial arts skills. Although the people around the male lead usually don't have good outcomes, it has nothing to do with us."

Moreover, both sect leaders were already injured and poisoned, and their martial arts had been passed on to Xiao Qiushui, making it difficult to save them. She didn't want to get involved in troublesome matters.

Xiao Qi watched with great interest: "Host, the villain wants to make the Power Gang fight with Xiao Qiushui so that he can take advantage of the chaos and cause trouble behind the scenes."

"Yeah, he is a bit annoying, so revealing his identity in advance is also a good thing, right?" Wen Piaoran said with a smile.

Xiao Qi nodded while sipping her milk tea: "Of course it's to do good deeds, otherwise everyone will be kept in the dark for a long time."

Seeing that she had seen enough, Yunshang stood up and said, "Master, I still have to deal with the affairs of the sect, so I will take my leave now."

Wen Piaoran waved her hand: "Go ahead, take the food on the table with you, and if you don't want it, share it with others."

"Okay." Yunshang took the snacks from the table and went out.

Xiao Qi watched her leave the door before turning her gaze away.

"Why are you looking at Yunshang? Aren't you eating enough?" Wen Piaoran knew what it was thinking even without looking at it.

"Host, I wanted to take some back to share with Hua Hua."

"You won't miss out; I'll give you all of these."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi's face immediately lit up with joy: "Thank you, host."

Wen Piaoran shook his head. Xiao Qi's exterior was that of a young man, but inside he seemed to be a child.

However, after being with me for a long time, it sometimes acts like a little adult, and its words take on deeper meaning.

It's just a bit greedy, since it used all its points to buy skins.

"Tsk tsk, your guild leader doesn't want you anymore~" Wen Piaoran's teasing voice rang out.

Liu Suifeng's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at her as if he was about to cry: "You're talking nonsense!!"

"You did something wrong, and you're afraid the leader won't forgive you. You look really wronged and pitiful."

"You came here specifically to see me make a fool of myself?"

“Yes, don’t you know, you look particularly funny right now,” Wen Piaoran said with interest.

Liu Suifeng was so angry with her that he simply turned his head away and refused to look at this hateful person anymore.
