Next day …
Lin Fan woke up early in the morning and sent Sha Dulong and the others to the market to buy the necessities they needed. The journey was long, and he did not want to spend the night in the open.
It was one thing for them to come out and train, but to torture themselves when they had the means to do so? That would be crazy.
No matter what, the standard of living had to be improved.
And now, Lin Fan had something important to do. He had to find Gong Bingye for a good chat and ask her where she got the Supreme Being's Fragment from.
Gong Family …
Gong Bingye had been unconscious for the entire night. When she woke up, she was filled with rage at the thought of what had happened.
Her pure body was tainted by someone just like that. Not only was it tainted, the other party even refused to admit it after eating it, and even spouted such ridiculous nonsense.
Early in the morning, Gong Bingye washed up. Like a lotus emerging from the water, she coiled up her hair and looked at her beautiful face in the bronze mirror. Reaching out with her jade-like hands, she caressed her fair, jade-like face.
The heavy burden of the family was weighing down on Gong Bingye's shoulders, making it hard for her to breathe. She wished so much that she could find someone to rely on, but her wish wasn't fulfilled.
"Damn it." Gong Bingye looked at her weak self in the mirror. Taking in a deep breath, she put on a strong front and pushed open the door, welcoming the pressure of a new day.
Wang Hu was the leader of the Gong Family's black armored guards. At the same time, he was the housekeeper of the Gong Family. Even though his status was high, he was busy every day for the sake of the Gong Family's rise.
Wang Hu's father's generation had always been the housekeeper of the Gong Family. Now that it was his generation, he had to shoulder the glory of his father's generation, and dedicate his entire life to the Gong Family.
Now that the Gong Family's Head had fallen in the Death Desert, the Gong Family was without a leader. The other two families had taken the opportunity to rise as well. Wang Hu knew that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders.
His mistress was still young. She should have been enjoying a life of support from the younger generation. But now, she had to work hard for the Gong Family, and did not have any free time for herself.
"Little miss, it's bad. Many disciples from various sects have arrived in Mo City. They are currently in front of our trading shop, and they want to buy the six Xiantian beasts at a low price." Wang Hu rushed over from the trading shop.
In Wang Hu's opinion, this was an extremely serious matter. Even though the cultivation states of those disciples weren't that high, they represented the sects behind them. If they were to offend them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Are they disciples of Glory Sect?" Gong Bingye's face changed slightly. Mo City was just a small city, not like those big cities. It was rare for disciples from sects to come here. Mo City, on the other hand, would attract many rogue cultivators.
These itinerant cultivators usually didn't have high cultivation levels, so they had a high demand for these Connate ferocious beasts.
"No, there is a flame pattern on their clothes." Even though Wang Hu was the steward of the Gong Family, his knowledge was limited. Especially since he had only lived in Mo City for his entire life, he hadn't seen many disciples from other sects.
"Let's go take a look." What Gong Bingye feared the most was disciples from other sects causing trouble at the Gong Family shop. She couldn't afford to offend them at all.
In Gong Bingye's eyes, the sects were all huge behemoths and superpowers. Perhaps all those so-called sects needed to do was send a single person to wipe out the Gong Family in an instant.
Therefore, at times, the Gong Family would just take a step back and keep the peace. Back when her father was still alive, Gong Bingye did not know how her father had resolved all these problems. But now that the burden of the Gong Family was on her shoulders, she had to face everything personally.
...
Gong Family's trading shop …
There were many people crowding around the shop. At the entrance of the shop, there was a group of men dressed in white with a flame pattern on them, shouting arrogantly.
"It's the Gong Family's fortune that we've taken a liking to these six beasts. Don't be ungrateful. This amount of money is more than enough." One of the men had a flame pattern on his forehead. His eyes were long and narrow, and his expression was arrogant.
The shopkeeper wore a troubled look on his face. How was it possible to buy six ferocious beasts with such a small amount of money?
Why wasn't Lord Wang here to look for the mistress yet?
"Shopkeeper Liu, my Senior Brother has spoken. Don't be ungrateful. No matter what, I'm a citizen of Mo City. Naturally, I don't want you to suffer for offending my Senior Brother." A man standing beside the man with the flame pattern on his forehead spoke up.
He was the young master of the Wang Family of Mo City. Previously, he had gone to participate in a sect examination. To think that his luck would be so good that he would be chosen by the sect and be accepted as an outer sect disciple!
To him, this was like a meat pie falling from the heavens. He could not understand why a sect would take a liking to him when his cultivation base was so low and his potential wasn't that great either.
In the end, no matter how he thought about it, he could not figure it out. Hence, he consoled himself with the excuse that the sect had a good eye for talent.
"Senior Brother Liu, leave this to me. I'm afraid these commoners don't know how powerful you are, Senior Brother." Wang Hao said with a fawning expression.
Since he had just entered the sect, he naturally did not know any Senior Brothers. But what Wang Hao did not expect was that the moment he joined the sect, the Senior Brother before him came looking for him. Not only that, he was extremely friendly to him, and even offered to accompany him back to Mo City. This was something that Wang Hao could not have wished for more. Hence, he agreed immediately and headed towards Mo City.
"Yes." Liu Yiyuan nodded his head.
He did not really care much for these six beasts. However, the essence blood of these beasts was extremely useful for a skill that he was cultivating.
"Shopkeeper Liu, this is my Senior Brother, an inner sect disciple of Huodao Sect. If you do not wish for anything to happen to the Gong Family, you had better agree obediently. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the consequences." Wang Hao threatened.
"Young Master Wang, I can't make this decision. The mistress will be here soon. I'll let her speak with you guys." Shopkeeper Liu replied.
"Gong Bingye?" The moment Wang Hao heard this, his eyes shone with a strange glint. Towards this Gong Bingye, he had been lusting after her since a long time ago. However, the Gong Family was way too domineering in the past. Especially when the Gong Family Head was still alive, even if he had ten guts, he would not have dared to have any improper thoughts. But things were different now. He was an outer sect disciple of the sect. If he were to compare, Gong Bingye was the one who was out of his league.
Thinking about Gong Bingye's looks, Wang Hao's heart was filled with excitement. But suddenly, he felt that something was amiss. This Senior Brother of his was extremely infatuated with women. If Gong Bingye were to arrive and he were to take a liking to her, what should he do?
As an outer sect disciple who had just entered the sect, how would he dare to snatch a woman from his Senior Brother?
But then, Wang Hao sighed. Forget it. His own future was more important.
Standing there, Liu Yiyuan's lips curled into a cold grin.
Towards these ants, he could not be bothered in the slightest. To him, he was just toying with them.
"Gong Bingye is here."
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd. Towards the current situation of the Gong Family, they were starting to feel troubled.
These disciples of the sect were not people they could afford to offend.
