After confirming the real culprit and his plan of counterattack, Ling Dong thought about it carefully and felt that there was something he had to do in advance.
Once this counterattack started, if everything went according to Ling Dong's plan, everything would be fine. If there were any mishaps, Ling Dong reckoned that he would have some uncomfortable days ahead of him!
Perhaps due to the influence of his previous life's cautiousness, Ling Dong always considered the worst case scenario before doing anything! Only when he had a plan to deal with the worst case scenario, would he carry out his plan!
This was exactly the case now. If the counterattack started, Ling Dong's worst case scenario would be to escape from Alkaid City. Therefore, some things had to be done in advance! For example, he would send back the elixirs that he had just refined for his father to break through to the Earth Realm.
His father's cultivation progress must not be hindered. Moreover, there were some things that he had to explain to Zi Yao! For example, it would be better if there was a female owner of the house.
Therefore, after asking Old Jiang to mobilize his subordinates to do some preparatory work, Ling Dong went to Kuixing Pavilion in Alkaid City alone. Ling Dong planned to send the elixirs back through Kuixing Pavilion. Moreover, the person in charge of Kuixing Pavilion in South Mountain Region was Zi Yao's subordinate. In terms of security, Ling Dong was very assured!
With ease, Ling Dong quickly found Zi Yao. He gave her a few keys and told her some other things. Only then did Ling Dong mention the matter of sending the elixirs through Kuixing Pavilion. "Zi Yao, I have a batch of elixirs for my father. Can you arrange it?"
"Elixirs? That's great. Today, there is a batch of valuable goods being sent to South Mountain Region. I will arrange it for you! What kind of elixirs are they this time? "Zi Yao agreed and asked with a smile.
"Earth Spirit Condensing Elixir, for my father to break through to the Earth Realm!" Ling Dong said without hesitation.
"Such valuable elixirs. Don't tell me they were refined by Brother Ling again?" Zi Yao joked casually. She took the elixir bottle from Ling Dong and led him out.
"What do you think?" The corners of Ling Dong's mouth curled up in a devilish smile. His right hand lightly patted Zi Yao's astonishingly supple buttocks, causing Zi Yao to cry out in surprise. At the same time, Ling Dong moved his lips to Zi Yao's ear and said, "Zi Yao, I'll wait for you tonight at the big house at the address you gave me earlier!"
Zi Yao, who was blushing, rolled her eyes at Ling Dong and said angrily, "I'm not going!"
Hearing this, Ling Dong only laughed. There was something that Ling Dong didn't say. Youth was the best time to be together. It would be strange if he didn't go!
"Eh, Brother Ling?" Ling Dong heard a familiar voice as soon as he stepped out of the door. He immediately punched Ling Dong and said, "Good boy, I was poisoned because of you. Why didn't you come to see me first when you came to Kuixing Pavilion? You really value your lover over your friends!" This voice belonged to none other than Le Bainian!
Zi Yao was embarrassed when she heard this. She was so embarrassed that she ran away.
"You're as strong as a calf. If I really came to see you, you would scold me for not being a good brother!" Knowing that Le Bainian was joking, Ling Dong started to talk nonsense.
"What are you here for? Why, are you here to ask me out for a date again? Why don't you go to my lounge on the top floor? It's definitely big enough and has a first-class environment. It's enough for you to play around! " Le Bainian laughed evilly. He then stared at the direction where Zi Yao disappeared and said, "But then again, Zi Yao has been getting more and more beautiful after being nourished by you recently. She's almost like a ripe peach!"
"Tsk, do you think I'm like you, always thinking about that little thing in your pants all day long? See, I got some elixir for my father and brought it back to Nanshan County! "Ling Dong said.
Le Bainian's expression changed when he heard this, "Brought it back? Good boy, you're abusing your power for personal gain! Zi Yao is still the Deputy Pavilion Master. If she really becomes the Pavilion Master, then Kuixing Pavilion will become your family's … "
"Oh no!" Ling Dong and Le Bainian exclaimed at the same time when Le Bainian was halfway through his sentence.
"What should we do? You're in Kuixing Pavilion now. Is there any way to remedy the situation?" Hearing Le Bainian's words, Ling Dong suddenly remembered something bad. He was too careless today. He actually neglected the fact that Zi Yao had started to compete for the Pavilion Master position of Kuixing Pavilion!
"Let me think about it!" Le Bainian patted his head and said, "Maybe there's no need to remedy it. It can't be that coincidental, right?"
"Quick, think about it. We can't be careless about this!" Ling Dong said fiercely.

"Quick, the two of you, go and invite Deputy Pavilion Master Hou. The two of you, go and invite Commander Le. The rest, follow me! Oh, summon the other three deacons as well. Tell them to rush to the Teleportation Hall immediately if they have any matters on hand! " In one of the corridors of Kuixing Pavilion, Deputy Pavilion Master Chi, who was always smiling, was giving orders with a serious expression!
After giving a few simple instructions, he once again strode towards the Shifting Palace with light footsteps with his protruding belly. There was a kind of suppressed excitement on his face!
It was not that he was impatient. It was just that good fortune had fallen from the sky! A few days ago, ever since Zi Yao announced her participation in the Pavilion Master position, Deputy Pavilion Master Chi's chest felt short of breath. It was not that he was not confident. It was just that Zi Yao brought him too much pressure! Especially Zi Yao's ability during the auction. Wherever she stood, countless people would start to raise their placards!
Originally, he thought that his position as the Pavilion Master was in the bag. However, all of a sudden, it became a little unstable. Zi Yao, who was also one of the five major surnames of the Kuixing Pavilion, was a member of the Kuixing Pavilion. If Zi Yao's family were to make a move, they would definitely be qualified to take the position of the Kuixing Pavilion's Pavilion Master in Brilliance City.
Looking at the rankings of Kuixing Pavilion, Zi Family, Kuixing Pavilion, was far more powerful than the Chi Family. Therefore, Kuixing Pavilion, which controlled Brilliance Empire's Imperial Capital, was not only important to Deputy Pavilion Master Chi, but also to the Chi Family!
If the Chi Family could successfully take over the Pavilion Master position of Kuixing Pavilion in Brilliance Empire's Imperial Capital, it would not take many years for the Kuixing Pavilion's Five Major Families to change their ranking!
Therefore, the Chi Family was determined to take over the Pavilion Master position of Brilliance City's Kuixing Pavilion! However, Zi Yao's participation had changed this matter. What Deputy Pavilion Master Chi did not expect was that good fortune would fall from the sky today!
One of his trusted subordinates reported that Zi Yao, the Deputy Pavilion Master, had rushed to the Teleportation Hall of Kuixing Pavilion with a package and asked him to add it to the list of items to be teleported. That trusted subordinate checked and found that the item that Deputy Pavilion Master Zi had added was not in the list of items to be teleported!
"Abusing power for personal gain! If this matter is confirmed, Zi Yao will not be qualified to compete for the Pavilion Master position. I'm afraid she won't even be able to keep her position as the Deputy Pavilion Master! "A sinister smile flashed across Deputy Pavilion Master Chi's face as he quickened his pace again!
"Alright, the items have been accounted for. Insert the crystals and activate the teleportation array!" After adding Ling Dong's item, Zi Yao was cautious and personally urged the activation of the teleportation array. As long as the teleportation array was activated, no one could do anything to her!
"Hurry up!" Zi Yao did not know if it was because she was anxious or if the guards in the Teleportation Hall were too slow, but she felt that the speed of inserting the crystals was too slow! When the crystals were finally inserted, they dilly-dallied and did not leave the range of the teleportation array!
After a few shouts, the few guards slowly retreated out of the teleportation formation's range. Zi Yao hurriedly walked to the last point of the array. As long as she inserted the last crystal there, she could activate the array!
"Hold it!" Just as Zi Yao was about to inlay a mid-grade crystal, a figure flashed before her eyes, and a fat hand covered in long black hair suddenly pressed down on the place where the crystal should be inlaid!
"Deputy Pavilion Master Chi, what are you doing? Don't you know that this is very dangerous? "Zi Yao glared at him and reprimanded him without any trace of politeness!
"Dangerous? If I don't do this, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?" Deputy Pavilion Master Chi looked at Zi Yao with disdain. His gaze followed the direction that his trusted subordinate was pointing at and saw an exquisitely wrapped package. A smug look flashed across his face!
"This Pavilion Master has received a report that someone is abusing their power for personal gain by smuggling items into the teleportation array. I've specially come to investigate!" As he spoke, Deputy Pavilion Master Chi took the list from his trusted subordinate and took out the exquisitely wrapped package from the teleportation array. He said, "Is this package delivered? Why isn't it marked on the list? "
At this moment, another shrewd-looking middle-aged man and a few deacons had arrived. When they saw Deputy Pavilion Master Chi's actions and Zi Yao's expression, they immediately understood what was going on.
Zi Yao glared at Vice Pavilion Leader Chi with an ugly expression. She also knew where she had gone wrong! If he were to add an item by himself, it would be too easy to attract the attention of others!
"What should I do?" Zi Yao could not think of any good ideas at the moment. She could only stare fiercely at Deputy Pavilion Master Chi! In fact, every time the teleportation array was activated, the higher-ups of Kuixing Pavilion would often smuggle in some items for their own profit!
This had always been an unspoken rule. Everyone knew and understood that. Since they all did this, no one would point it out! However, Zi Yao did not expect that Deputy Pavilion Master Chi would shed all pretense of cordiality when it came to the battle for the position of Pavilion Master.
No, this was not a matter of weakness! If this matter was confirmed and reported to the higher-ups, Zi Yao would immediately lose the right to compete for the position of Pavilion Master. Even her position as Deputy Pavilion Master would be in danger!
"Reporting to Deputy Pavilion Master Chi, this package was added to the teleportation array by Deputy Pavilion Master Zi 15 minutes ago!" Seeing that no one answered, Deputy Pavilion Master Chi's trusted subordinate suddenly replied!
"Hehe, Zi Yao, no matter what, you are a Deputy Pavilion Master. How can you be so unruly?" Vice Pavilion Leader Chi laughed proudly. Soon, he would be accused of abusing his power for personal gain. Soon, he would be able to get rid of a strong competitor.
"Chi Yangyu, you are shameless!" Zi Yao, who was extremely angry, scolded him. In terms of using power for personal gain, Chi Yangyu had done more than her by ten times! At the same time, Zi Yao sighed. She was still not experienced enough in handling matters!
Deputy Pavilion Master Chi Yangyu laughed proudly and said, "I am shameless? How am I shameless? Before you call me shameless, Deputy Pavilion Master Zi, you should think about how to explain this package to us and the headquarters. Using power for personal gain, hmph! "Chi Yangyu's eyes were filled with pride as he spoke.
"Explain what? What is there to explain? That package is mine!" Ling Dong's voice suddenly came from the entrance of the Teleportation Hall!
