The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 925 - 507: Investigation Storm

Among the Jin family’s sisters, Jin Manyi was betrothed to Miluo, the Second Young Master of Fengtian Prefecture, while Jin Manyan was the fiancée of Huangfuming. In such high-status marriages, it’s crucial to choose families of equal status. With the influence of Jishi Building, if the elder daughter is marrying Miluo, the younger one wouldn’t lower herself to marry beneath her status. Thus, it seems that even if Mirror Sea King’s power is not as strong as Fengtian Prefecture, it’s not far behind. Achieving such influence with a mortal body, Mirror Sea King is indeed remarkable.

"Hey, I’m talking to you!" A small hand waved in front of her, bringing her back to her senses. She saw the dissatisfied gaze of Huangfuming.

"I was ignorant before, but now I know." She smiled at him.

Huangfuming imdiately beca proud: "If you go to the Central part of the Southern Continent, you’ll find that Mirror Sea King is a household na!"

"Yes, I will if I have the chance." While dual-tasking, she completed the invoice and glanced at the shipping ledger on the table, flipping through two pages. Her expression gradually darkened. Huangfuming, continuously observing her expressions, saw her displeasure and curiously asked, "What’s wrong?" Wasn’t she always in a good mood?

"It’s nothing." Holding the ledger, she stroked his head and said, "I have sothing to do now, so I can’t chat with you. Please head back first, alright?"

Although Huangfuming felt a bit reluctant, her voice was soft, yet there was a cold glint in her eyes, indicating urgent matters. Staying would be inconvenient, so he tugged her sleeve and said, "Okay, I’ll find you later."

"Mm." Her thoughts kept churning, and she didn’t really listen to what he said. Huangfuming indeed turned and left in big strides.

She took the marked invoice, holding the ledger, and walked back to the lobby of the Foreign Affairs Hall. Placing the invoice in front of Pilu, she said, "Mission accomplished without disgrace."

He picked it up and saw that the pricing was indeed very reasonable, feeling assured. Just as he was about to hand it to Liu Yunfeng of Chaos Yun Sect for review, Ning Xiaoxian suddenly said, "Mr. Liu, I need to discuss sothing with Hall Master Pilu. Could you please step aside temporarily?"

Liu Yunfeng paused briefly and then imdiately stood up. Having lived many years and being socially adept, he detected sothing amiss in her words. Usually, with a distinguished guest present, the host would discuss matters in the inner hall, not ask the guest to wait outside. It seed this Immortal Plant Garden Director had co with a strong agenda. Not here to witness internal conflicts, he bowed courteously and briskly walked out.

Pilu also realized sothing was wrong, his face darkening: "Director Ning, you are neglecting a valued guest too much."

Ning Xiaoxian coldly replied, "Or is it you who is neglecting my Hidden Stream too much?" She then tossed the ledger to him. With her Divine Skills infused into that throw, the weak Pilu was forced back three steps upon catching it, his face turning pale. His subordinates imdiately stepped forward and surrounded Ning Xiaoxian.

Pilu furiously asked, "What do you an by this? Do you think becoming an Immortal Plant Garden Director gives you the right to oppress us?"

"Where does the ’us’ co from?" She retorted coldly, "Do you an the entire Foreign Affairs Hall, or your cronies involved in skimming rebates with you?"

Pilu’s face turned livid: "Slandering with sharp words!"

She sighed and said, "The evidence is clutched in your arms. If soone is too foolish to even make fake accounts properly, they shouldn’t harbor such corrupt desires."

Despite the situation, Pilu sneered, "You are falsely accusing like this; I shall approach the Sect Leader for justice!"

Ning Xiaoxian, uninterested in further dialogue, snapped her fingers, calling, "People, co!" The Hidden Guards who had accompanied her to the Great Snow Mountain flooded in from all sides, surrounding the Foreign Affairs Hall mbers. The main business of the demons in the Foreign Affairs Hall was comrce, and most were not of powerful demon species. Encircled by these brawny Hidden Guards, they quickly felt unsettled.

Pilu’s expression drastically changed: "Are you starting a mutiny? When the Thorny Hall’s people arrive, they will charge you with rebellion..." The term "mutiny" had beco sensitive since Elder He defeated Jiu Mo to seize the Sect Leader position. He ntioned it as a warning to Ning Xiaoxian not to act recklessly.

Before he could finish, Ning Xiaoxian pulled out a docunt and threw it at his face: "From now on, you’re dismissed from your post as Hall Master of the Foreign Affairs Hall. Check the details yourself."

It turned out that Langya and He Sect Leader received her request and imdiately ordered the Foreign Affairs Hall to be placed under her managent. According to Hidden Stream’s rules, a command issued by both Sect Leaders required no further deliberation by the Elder Council and could be directly executed. This was the first dual-leader command issued since their control of Hidden Stream. However, Ning Xiaoxian did not imdiately announce it but kept it to catch the Foreign Affairs Hall off guard. This was called catching soone red-handed; otherwise, once the order was out, the scoundrels would destroy incriminating accounts, leaving her with no evidence to pursue.
