After one day, Qiao Linger's grievances

A day later.

...

Shen Fan left the Hongcui Brothel.

The humiliation from last time was finally avenged today.

The Vajra Membrane from the Qi Refining Stage Late Phase was, after all, pierced by his own Vajra Drill.

Before leaving, Shen Fan saw Qiao Linger crying.

This Senior Sister, who usually seemed so lively and uninhibited, would probably not act like this unless she encountered something truly difficult.

Before leaving, Shen Fan left Qiao Linger with 200,000 Spirit Stones.

"In the future, don't come here anymore. I don't know what hurdle you can't overcome, but don't debase yourself like this!"

Shen Fan changed his voice, but that figure was deeply imprinted in Qiao Linger's heart.

Facing such a large sum, Qiao Linger put it away, then wiped away her tears and silently left the place.

Shen Fan's actions were all seen by Li Waner.

Before leaving, Li Waner also gave Qiao Linger double the remuneration.

...

...

Market.

Zhenxiu Tower.

Qiao Linger came here with these Spirit Stones.

By the window seat facing the street, three people were already waiting.

On the dining table, the aroma of tea permeated the air.

It caused the surrounding Spiritual Qi to swirl.

This was actually a pot of Biquan Shengjin Tea, valued at one hundred Spirit Stones per pot.

The tea leaves were not expensive; what was expensive was the water used to brew the tea.

Upon seeing Qiao Linger walk up with somewhat disheveled hair.

One of them immediately shouted, "Sister!"

But was directly pressed back into his chair by another person.

"Here are 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Release my brother!"

Thud!

A bag of Spirit Stones was thrown onto the table.

The leading young man in green raised an eyebrow: "I didn't expect you to raise 100,000 Spirit Stones so quickly. I really underestimated you.

However, don't you want to consider the second option I gave you? Spend half a month with me, and you can take back the 100,000 Spirit Stones!"

"The Spirit Stones are here. Release my brother!"

Qiao Linger gritted her teeth and growled in a low voice.

"Oh, your temper isn't small!"

The young man stood up brazenly, then said playfully, "However, I suddenly remembered that your brother broke my precious medicinal herbs, and they seem to be worth 200,000 Spirit Stones. I came here today just to tell you about this!"

"You are extorting me!"

Qiao Linger was furious, "Just these 100,000 Spirit Stones, release my brother, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Oh, oh, oh! This little stubborn temper really suits my taste. However, breaking something and compensating at its original price is only natural. Even if you take this matter to your Sect Master, I can justify myself. If you don't believe me, you can inquire about how much that three-hundred-year-old Jadeite Ice Fire Tree is worth!"

"Pei Xingye, I curse your ancestors!"

The captured young man shrieked hysterically.

"What damn three-hundred-year-old Jadeite Ice Fire Tree? Don't think I don't know, that was just a trap you set for me, and that bitch Liu Feiyan, she's your accomplice, right?"

Seeing this, Qiao Linger asked coldly, "I'll ask you one last time, how much compensation do you need to release my brother!"

"Didn't I just say? 200,000 Spirit Stones, and I'll release your brother!"

The young man named Pei Xingye said mockingly.

"Thud!"

Another bag of Spirit Stones was thrown onto the table.

"A total of 200,000!"

As Qiao Linger spoke, she moved to pull her brother away.

"Hey, hey, hey! You might have misheard. What I said was 200,000 Medium-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Pei Xingye showed a brazen smile, as if teasing a dog.

The two young men accompanying him burst into laughter.

"That's right! 200,000 Medium-Grade Spirit Stones. If you can produce them, I'll immediately release your brother!"

Qiao Linger could no longer bear it and became furious.

Anger clouded her mind, and she casually drew a sword, stabbing it fiercely towards Pei Xingye's heart.

Immediately after, a black spiritual snake from Qiao Linger's sleeve coiled around the sword, hissing and biting towards Pei Xingye.

"A mere Qi Refining Stage Late Phase dares to act so wildly in front of me?"

Pei Xingye revealed a triumphant smile, and with just a slight movement, he dodged the sword.

At the same time, he said to the people around him: "Everyone saw it, she made the first move, so you can't blame me!"

After his words fell, a Foundation Establishment Stage pressure swept over.

Qiao Linger and her brother directly fell to their knees.

Thud!

Hiss!

Pei Xingye took a step, and the black snake that had emerged from his sleeve was directly stomped, its head exploding.

"You ungrateful bitch, do you really think you're some hot commodity? I'm telling you, 200,000 Medium-Grade Spirit Stones, you'll pay whether you want to or not!"

Pei Xingye slapped Qiao Linger's cheek, saying contemptuously.

"Such cheap skin, debasing yourself like this for 200,000 Spirit Stones. These 200,000 Spirit Stones, you exchanged them with your body, didn't you? I even said I'd have a taste, and this matter would be over, but you just had to give it to someone else and not me, trash!"

After speaking, he slapped Qiao Linger hard across the face, knocking her to the ground.

"Go! Seize the two of them and take them to Tianxuan Sect to face charges. I want to see what kind of explanation Xue Qiutian gives me!"

After speaking, he had people seize Qiao Linger and her brother and walk towards Tianxuan Sect.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding people were instantly shocked.

"Who is this person? How can he be so arrogant? This is our Tianxuan Sect's territory!"

"Calling the Tianxuan Sect Sect Master by name, and insulting a Tianxuan Sect Disciple like this, this person's background must be extraordinary!"

"You don't even know him? Pei Xingye! The Young Sect Master of Lingjian Sect!"

"No wonder he's so arrogant. However, now there's a good show to watch!"

...

...

Above the Tianxuan Sect Outer Sect Wen Dao Ping Square.

The inner Sect had an independent Sect Protection Great Array, so Pei Xingye couldn't enter.

He could only wait here for Xue Qiutian's arrival.

"Elder Liu Qingfeng, Disciple Pei Xingye, has come to pay his respects!"

Pei Xingye stepped on Qiao Linger's brother's foot and shouted loudly towards the sky.

Meanwhile, Qiao Linger was at the side, blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, looking utterly disheveled.

"Isn't that Senior Sister Ling'er? How could she be treated like this by this person?"

"Who are you? Release Senior Sister Ling'er!"

...

Pei Xingye's arrival immediately drew questions and onlookers from a group of Outer Sect Disciples.

But Pei Xingye completely ignored these Outer Sect Disciples, just waiting in place.

Just then, a sound of breaking air approached from afar.

Immediately after, the Inner Sect Grand Elder Liu Qingfeng arrived here.

Liu Qingfeng was originally an Elder of Lingjian Sect, so Pei Xingye came directly to him.

"What are you doing here?"

Facing this person, even Liu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow.

"Where's your Sect Master? Call him out, I have something to say!"

Pei Xingye said arrogantly.

"Tell me whatever it is, I can make the decision!"

Pei Xingye pondered slightly and nodded: "Alright, since you can make the decision, then I'll tell you!"

Immediately after, he pointed to Qiao Linger.

"Do you know this person?"

Liu Qingfeng remained silent, but it was evident that she was a Disciple of his Sect.
