Wan Kang could not understand. Firstly, it was because he did not understand Wan Nujiao's methods; secondly, his position was not high enough, and he was not qualified to come into contact with things of a higher level.
What was difficult for him was just a little trouble for Wan Nujiao.
Master Hong was indeed very strong, and he was also very arrogant. He would not even bother to meet a Sub-Hall Master if he did not want to give him face.
However, he came from the headquarters after all, and knew what kind of environment the upper domain was. How could he not have any resentment when he was sent to guard the lower domain all year round?
Wan Nujiao's dantian was sealed by the Hall Master because of her physique, so her cultivation could not be improved. In terms of strength, she was naturally far inferior to Master Hong.
However, in this world, there were many things that could not be solved by force. According to what Wan Nujiao often said, force was only a basic guarantee to promote fair negotiations, and it was also a means of violence when negotiations broke down.
She had always advocated that things that could be solved with words should never be solved by force. That was a very incompetent performance.
The upper domain had always respected the strong, so many people scoffed at her theory, thinking that she said such a fallacy because she could no longer cultivate.
However, it had been proven countless times that Wan Nujiao's wisdom was often more terrifying than a Dao realm expert's lethality, which surprised those who previously disdained her.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that she was feared by her brothers and sisters who had the qualifications to inherit the position. They tried every possible way to slander her in front of her father, and in the end, she was demoted to the extremely inconspicuous Heaven Wasteland Domain as a small Sub-Hall Master, so that she would never have a chance to rise again.
"Granny, help me make an appointment with Master Hong for lunch tomorrow."
After Wan Kang left, Wan Nujiao ordered the old woman who was hiding.
"Miss, Master Hong has always lived in seclusion, I'm afraid..."
The old woman said cautiously, for fear of touching Wan Nujiao's sore spot.
If the eldest miss was not demoted to the Heaven Wasteland Domain as a mere Sub-Hall Master, but came to inspect the business, that old thing would have taken the initiative to lick her boots like a dog.
Now, the eldest miss had been in office for several years, but that old dog had always pretended to be deaf and mute, and had not even shown his face. This was enough to explain the problem.
She was really afraid that the eldest miss would take the initiative to invite Master Hong to a banquet, but that old dog would directly refuse. If that happened, where would the eldest miss hide her face?
Puff!
Wan Nujiao's expression was as calm as still water. She casually tossed out a broken piece of metal, which fell on the table with a dull thud. She said confidently, "Show him this, he will come."
"What is this?"
The old woman asked curiously, but she did not get an answer from Wan Nujiao. Wan Nujiao was an old woman, but she still stuck out her tongue mischievously like a young girl. She picked up the metal fragment and did not ask any more questions. She turned around and disappeared.
She knew that Eldest Miss would never do something that she was not sure of. Since she said that she would show the metal fragment to Old Dog Hong, he would definitely not refuse. Old Dog Hong would definitely attend the banquet tomorrow.
It turned out that the First Miss had never disappointed her. After meeting with Hong Gongfeng through a special method, the old woman deliberately did not take out the metal fragment first. Instead, she went straight to the point and said that the First Miss wanted to invite him to a banquet.
The result was just as she had expected. Master Hong had an arrogant expression on his face as he found thousands of reasons to shirk the responsibility. However, when she took out the metal fragment, his expression changed drastically in an instant. He practically snatched the metal fragment from her hand and asked her where she had gotten it from with a trembling voice.
The old woman was secretly proud of herself. She proudly claimed that the First Miss gave it to her. Old Dog Hong immediately said that he would attend the banquet on time tomorrow.
He did not take the initiative to visit the First Miss, and apologized in person for his rudeness.
This completely different attitude made the old woman even more curious. She did not know what exactly this metal fragment was, to be able to make Old Dog Hong change from arrogant to respectful.
However, curiosity was one thing, but she knew the First Miss' personality. She would not hide anything from her if she wanted to know, and she would not ask about things that she did not want her to know.
Just as the old woman invited Master Hong, Deputy Hall Master Liao and Deputy Hall Master Chen were also summoned. They appeared outside Wan Nujiao's room.
However, they did not receive the same treatment as Wan Kang. They stood respectfully outside the door and did not even have the qualifications to enter the room.
Wan Nujiao communicated with them through voice transmission. No one knew what she said, but the two Deputy Hall Masters looked as if they were struck by lightning. Their expressions were filled with fear. Fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. Originally, they had only bowed slightly, but now, they wanted to bend all the way to their crotches.
The maidservant Xiao Chun, who was standing guard outside the door, was dumbfounded. She was an old member of the Tianyun Palace. When had she ever seen the two arrogant Deputy Hall Masters so humble?
Not long after, the two Deputy Hall Masters left one after another with heavy hearts. However, not long after, they snuck back to see the Hall Master. However, the strange thing was that the two of them had not even been in the backyard for half a minute before they left in a hurry. However, when they left, their expressions were clearly much more relaxed than before.
In the room, Wan Nujiao fiddled with the four bronze boxes. A playful smile appeared on her lips as she softly muttered to herself, "All that's left is Master Hong's key. Three Realms, what kind of secrets do you have?"
Whether it was Deputy Hall Master Liao or Deputy Hall Master Chen, they were both natives of the Heaven Wasteland Domain. They only knew that the Tianyun Palace had an extremely mysterious background and terrifying strength, but they really did not know much about the inside story. Their horizons were not broad enough, and they did not even know what the bronze box in their hands was used for.
This was because the bronze box that contained the key was not an ordinary box. Without a special method, it could not be opened. Unless the headquarters authorized them to open the Heavenly Dao Building to obtain top-secret information, only then would Master Hong and the Deputy Hall Master gather everyone together to open the Heavenly Dao Building.
However, the problem was that the Heaven Wasteland Domain was a low-level and backward domain. When would they ever encounter an opportunity to open the Heavenly Dao Building to obtain top-secret information?
Therefore, even after so many years, the two Deputy Hall Masters still did not know what was contained in the bronze box.
To put it bluntly, although they usually looked dignified, in reality, they were equivalent to the professional managers of large companies on Earth. They were just high-level workers.
Although Wan Nujiao had been here for several years, she did not seem to care about anything and only cared about making money. She did not seem to interfere with them.
In fact, she had already investigated the two of them. As long as one was human, there would be a weakness, and the two Deputy Hall Masters were no exception.
In the Heaven Wasteland Domain, where men were superior to women, the style of men and women was naturally not a big problem. Therefore, they had a large number of wives and concubines. Naturally, the matter of them sleeping with other women could not be used against them.
However, whether it was a wife, a concubine, or a mistress, they would need to spend money to support them, right?
They were the Deputy Hall Masters of the Tianyun Palace, so their income was naturally much higher than that of ordinary people. If they saved a little, it would be enough for them to support all of their wives and concubines.
However, it was difficult to go from extravagant to simple, and from simple to extravagant. As the dignified Deputy Hall Master of the Tianyun Palace, he was a gold-collar worker, and men cared about their face. If their wives and concubines acted coquettishly and wanted a luxurious item, how could he pretend to be afraid? That was impossible.
However, if a woman bought it, how could the other women not be jealous and follow suit?
Therefore, what could the two Deputy Hall Masters, who had a large number of wives and concubines, say? They could only brace themselves and act like rich people, waving their hands and buying, buying, buying, buying.
Well, it was great when they bought it, but after they bought it, they were dumbfounded.
Not to mention that their bank cards were overdrawn, they did not even have a spending limit. How could the dignified gold-collar workers endure this?
What could they do if they had no money? Dignified gold-collar workers could not cry about being poor. Therefore, the most common dereliction of duty and crime among the officials on Earth appeared magnificently on them.
They used their position to fish for money. In any case, the Tianyun Palace was a big business, and they did not dare to embezzle money from large transactions. However, they could still play tricks on small transactions and pick up some money from the cracks between their fingers.
After tasting the sweetness once, there would be a second time … a third time … countless times. As time passed, they became more and more courageous, and also more and more greedy. It even became a natural habit.
As a result, the two big gold-collar workers completely degenerated. They were corrupt and greedy, but unfortunately, they were secretly caught by Wan Nujiao.
Wan Nujiao took advantage of the fact that they did not know what was in the bronze box. After severely reprimanding them, she ordered them to hand over the identity of the Deputy Hall Master in their hands, and suspended them from their duties to see what would happen next.
The two Deputy Hall Masters thought that they were dead this time. They did not expect that after the new Hall Master Wan Nujiao grasped their crimes, she did not beat them to death, but only suspended them from their duties to see what would happen next.
This made them feel a sense of rejoice at being rescued from a desperate situation. They did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent, and actively handed over their 'identity', striving to strive for a good performance, so that the Hall Master would be lenient.
In this way, Wan Nujiao took the keys in their hands without any bloodshed, and did not arouse anyone's suspicion. After all, in the entire Tianyun Palace, besides her and Wan Kang, the only person who knew what was in the bronze box was High Official Hong from the headquarters.
High Official Hong was too arrogant, and looked down on Heaven Wasteland Domain from the bottom of his heart. Naturally, he would not have any interaction with the two local Deputy Hall Masters.
Therefore, the two Deputy Hall Masters would most likely never have the opportunity to know what was in the bronze box, and High Official Hong would also not have the opportunity to know that the bronze box in their hands had been given to Wan Nujiao.
The only problem was the key in High Official Hong's hands. How could she get the key that never left his side, and not let him know that she wanted to enter the Heavenly Dao Building?
Wan Nujiao stood quietly in the room, looking at the portrait of the handsome young man who often appeared in her dreams. Her eyes were in a trance for a moment, and she murmured in a low voice as if she was sleep-talking, "Who are you? Why did I dream of you again? It's just that I clearly remember everything that happened in the dream, but after waking up, I can't remember most of it. I can only vaguely remember your appearance. Who are you? Why do you always appear in my dreams? "
"Entering the Heavenly Dao Tower without permission is a crime punishable by death, but I still did it without any hesitation. I don't want to live a muddle-headed life like this, so I want to give it my all. I want to go to the Three Realms and obtain the great fortune that even Imperial Emperor Bai Yun covets to change my fate. Perhaps, at that time, I will be able to remember everything that happened in my dream, and I will be able to remember who you are."
… …
The setting sun set in the west, and the rays of the setting sun elongated that slender and graceful figure in front of the portrait. Only that sleep-talking murmur quietly reverberated in the room filled with afterglow.
Yanjing.
Outside the Soul Break Valley, Ding Ning looked at a large group of people lying on the ground, and an excited smile appeared on his pale face.
Sure enough, 《Dream Heart Sutra》 was not a small matter. He had just crossed the threshold, nothing more, and he still didn't have the ability to make people enter the dreamland.
But with a sudden inspiration, he used it as a kind of hypnosis method to experiment, and the result was surprisingly good. Let alone these Demigods of Shrines, even An Xi and Long Yi, these two peerless Demigods were unable to resist, and they were lying on the ground in a deep sleep without the image of a goddess.
