Chapter 66 Unexpected Information?

The turmoil quickly passed, and the meeting continued.

However, beneath the table, Xiao Ming was still leisurely toying with the jade foot, as if nothing had happened.

Feeling the faint warmth and slight trembling coming from his palm, as well as the pouting, resentful gaze of the beauty opposite him, Xiao Ming felt incredibly satisfied.

'Sigh, you little bastards, I just love how you and your father look—unable to stand me, yet unable to get rid of me!'

Beside him, Luo Li saw her precious disciple reveal that signature mischievous smirk again, and her heart fluttered as she pursed her lips: 'This Wicked Disciple, what bad idea is he cooking up to torment his Revered Master again?'

Opposite him, Chi Lianer made contact with Xiao Ming's deep, wicked gaze and immediately lowered her head as if struck by lightning, her heart pounding uncontrollably, her cheeks burning frighteningly hot.

The intertwining of extreme shame and secret pleasure from just moments ago made her feel a deeper fear toward the young Saint before her, as well as a trace of distorted excitement that she herself was unwilling to admit.

Inside the great hall, the undercurrents and open conflict continued.

Yet, this brief and stimulating secret confrontation beneath the table was known only to the two involved, adding a touch of bewitching and dangerous color to this grim power struggle.

After the discussion ended, everyone stood up one after another.

Chi Lianer stood up almost immediately, her footsteps slightly hurried, her delicate body feeling weak, and the flush on her cheeks had not yet fully faded.

She dared not look anyone in the eye, especially the culprit opposite her who had made her make a fool of herself in front of everyone, yet also brought her such extreme stimulation.

She hurriedly whispered to Tu Yu, who was still immersed in resentment beside her: "I... I am feeling a bit unwell, I will return first."

Tu Yu was feeling vexed and distracted, and upon hearing this, he merely waved his hand impatiently, not even sparing her a glance.

Chi Lianer felt as if she had been granted amnesty; she lowered her head and walked quickly toward the outside of the hall as if fleeing.

Just as she passed the hall door, she quickly raised her eyes, giving Xiao Ming a fierce glare filled with resentment and an indescribable charm, as if her gaze were saying, "It's all your fault!"

Immediately after, like a frightened rabbit, she quickened her pace and disappeared at the entrance of the great hall.

Xiao Ming took in this scene entirely, the playful smirk at the corner of his mouth deepening.

He rose unhurriedly, bowed to the Vice Sect Master, the Pavilion Guardian, and Luo Li at the head of the hall, and then leisurely left the meeting hall to return to his Holy Son Peak.

Returning to Holy Son Peak, Xiao Ming did not let his guard down.

He first checked his own condition; although the soreness in his waist had been alleviated quite a bit by the Medicinal Pill and meditation, the continuous "battles" still made him feel a trace of exhaustion, especially regarding his Qi and blood, which seemed to need some proper replenishment.

"It seems I need to refine a few furnaces of high-quality Qi and blood pills."

Xiao Ming muttered to himself.

He was now wealthy, as his Revered Master had given him all the resources obtained from the Secret Realm and the killing of the Elder, which would come in handy right now.

He took out his Pill Furnace and the various Spiritual Plants he had recently acquired, calmed his mind, and began the Alchemy.

With the infusion of the System's knowledge on Alchemy, refining Qi-replenishing Medicinal Pill for the Nascent Soul Stage was now a breeze for him.

A few hours later, the Pill Furnace was opened, and a medicinal fragrance assailed his nostrils; several pills, the size of dragon eyes, bright red in color, and containing immense Qi and blood power, lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace—the quality was top-tier: flawless.

Xiao Ming took one and swallowed it in one gulp, feeling his Qi and blood surging and churning throughout his body, and instantly his body returned to its optimal state; just as he was about to get up to go to the Sect market to sell all the weapons and some unwanted Materials he had obtained, he suddenly noticed the Jade Slip on his waist flickering slightly.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and injected a trace of Devilish Qi.

Immediately, Chi Lianer's voice, filled with a bit of seductive charm, echoed in his mind:

"Lord Saint... could you come to the side hall of War Demon Peak at midnight tonight? Lianer has an important matter to tell you, concerning... the safety of your Revered Master!"

The voice stopped abruptly there, but the sense of sweetness and temptation intertwined remained, unable to be shaken off.

Xiao Ming gripped the warm Jade Slip, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

'Hmm... concerning my Revered Master?'

His first reaction was suspicion; his two Revered Masters were now both in the Spirit Severing Realm. Not to mention acting with impunity, who in this region could be their match?

But... what if it were true?

Old Ghost Yu Mo, that old dog, was insidious and cunning; who knew if he still had some backup plans?

After all, Chi Lianer was the Dao Companion of the War Demon Peak Revered Master's son; perhaps she really could come into contact with some secrets?

Xiao Ming pondered for a moment, a flash of determination appearing in his eyes.

'Go! Why not go?'

He sneered, "War Demon Peak is currently without a leader; what can the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals do to me? Even if there is an ambush, with my Nascent Soul Stage cultivation and the System, escaping should be no problem. If it really is important intelligence, missing it would be counterproductive instead."

He wanted to see what kind of trick this vixen was playing!

Was there really an important matter, or... was there another motive?

Xiao Ming immediately replied to Chi Lianer and strode out of Holy Son Peak.
