Chapter 383: Chapter 85: Tragedy! The Decline of the Huangfu Prominent Family_3
Today.
A clear and robust male voice was heard outside the temporary residence of the Huangfu Clan. “Is Brother Pengcheng in?”
Huangfu Pengcheng, who was then in service to the Old Ancestor, had a gleam of delight in his eyes. He hastily ran to the door and courteously bowed to the incoming person. “Brother Pengcheng has been waiting for Senior Brother Jinshan. Please have a sit inside. I have prepared the finest Spiritual Tea for you.”
He was very respectful and amiable toward Senior Brother Jinshan, firstly because he had requests for him. Secondly, this “Senior Brother Jinshan” was already a formidable Mid Stage Spirit Platform Realm practitioner before the age of sixty and a Core Disciple among the Changchun Valley lineage. Besides, he was specifically responsible for a lot of miscellaneous matters.
Such a significant figure, Huangfu Pengcheng dared not look down upon! Therefore, he spent a lot of resources and money to curry favour and build rapport with Senior Brother Jinshan, hoping to et Master Changchun through him.
“This…” Still looking sadly familiar, Senior Brother Jinshan was a little serious this ti, “I’ll skip the Spiritual Tea. I have sothing to notify you, Brother Pengcheng.”
Huangfu Pengcheng, who had once held the position of a Family Head, imdiately felt a thump in his heart when he heard these words. Since he had been catering to the interests of Senior Brother Jinshan and making efforts to get closer, the two had beco quite close.
He was hesitant even to co in for a tea, which was probably a bad sign.
As feared.
Senior Brother Jinshan coughed twice and said, “I was a bit overconfident when I promised to introduce you to my Master. I didn’t expect my master to suddenly go into seclusion. I will return all the things you’ve given .”
With that, he pulled out a Storage Ring and handed it back to Huangfu Pengcheng.
Huangfu Pengcheng panicked and quickly said, “Senior Brother Jinshan, how long will the Master need for his seclusion? We can wait!”
“How would I know how long my master will be in seclusion?” Senior Brother Jinshan answered sowhat impatiently, “It may be as short as five or six years, or as long as several decades. I dare not casually inquire about my master’s affairs. I must take my leave.”
With that, despite Huangfu Pengcheng’s attempts to keep him, Senior Brother Jinshan left as if making a hasty escape.
Huangfu Pengcheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
This… Senior Brother Jinshan was very enthusiastic before, confidently stating that he would definitely help get things done. However, things took an unexpected turn in the blink of an eye.
What exactly happened, and what should we do now?
In a place hidden from Huangfu Pengcheng, Senior Brother Jinshan left, hurriedly ducking around a few corners until he bumped into a girl was dressed in a purple dress, who looked quiet and pretty. She appeared pure and innocent, like a girl-next-door.
However, upon seeing her, a hint of wariness and fear flashed through Senior Brother Jinshan’s eyes. It wasn’t that he couldn’t beat the girl, but her reputation within the Purple Abode Academic Palace was already sowhat frightening, surpassed only by another.
More importantly, she was Wang Shouzhe’s sister! He dared not ss with Junior Brother Shouzhe.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Jinshan.” The girl bowed respectfully and handed over several bottles of Spiritual Nectar, “These are a few bottles of Hundred Flowers Nectar, a small token of my appreciation. Please don’t refuse, Senior Brother Jinshan.”
This girl, of course, was Wang Luo Jing, the fifth Miss of the Wang family.
Senior Brother Jinshan hurriedly took the Hundred Flowers Nectar, appearing to be overwheld by the unexpected favor. “Junior Sister Luo Jing, you’re too kind. Im and Shouzhe are fellow disciples. If I didn’t know the truth, that would be one thing. But now that I know, how could I aid the Huangfu clan? However, we need to keep this matter confidential. After all, I’m suspected of getting involved in the disputes between prominent families.”
The few bottles of Hundred Flowers Nectar were nothing compared to the benefits given by the Huangfu clan. However, Senior Brother Jinshan was still very pleased. This little girl demon seed quiet, but was always aloof, always cold to her fellow brothers.
“Senior Brother Jinshan, you really are a good person.” Wang Luo Jing gave a light smile and expressed her gratitude, “Several of my seniors from the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies told you were a warm-hearted person when they ntioned you.”
Seniors from the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies?
Senior Brother Jinshan imdiately beca spirited, asking, “Which senior has such good taste? You’re right, I, Jinshan, am indeed a good person. Junior Sister Luo Jing, tell her na. I’ll prepare gifts and visit her later.”
“…” Wang Luo Jing was rendered speechless for a while.
