Chapter 845: Heavenly Dew Incense Tree (Part 3)

Hana Yun thought of her father. Though he was usually very fond of her, if he learned that she had caused significant losses for the Harmonywood City Lord’s Mansion, he would surely be furious, and her face turned pale.

With only three days to spare, Elder Gu dared not linger any longer and immediately took the young lady back.

"Junior Master Uncle, we should be heading back now, right?" After resolving this matter, Sect Leader Qing said to Kenny Lin.

Kenny Lin looked at Amalia. When Amalia said they would go back, they would; if she said they wouldn’t, they wouldn’t.

Sect Leader Qing could only look at Amalia with a hint of helplessness.

"Let’s leave tomorrow," Amalia stated.

Sect Leader Qing was surprised. "Why wait until tomorrow?"

Amalia turned around to Sehyun Wang. "We have an agreement with Miss Wang to stay at the City Lord’s residence for five days. She will give us the Jade Fang Stone and the millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood. Right now, we still need the millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood."

Sect Leader Qing looked at Sehyun Wang with a complex expression. It was surprising that such a favorable deal existed. Was this girl not a bit naïve?

He had heard that the City Lord of Skyward City’s daughter had a penchant for beauty, and with Kenny Lin’s striking looks, it was no wonder she was moved.

Sect Leader Qing recalled how he often told his disciples that appearance didn’t matter and that they shouldn’t feel the need to alter their looks given by their parents. He couldn’t help but sigh; it turned out that a good-looking face really was quite important.

From now on, he wouldn’t be telling his disciples such things anymore. If he took a page from Kenny Lin’s book, maybe he could also procure the Jade Fang Stone and the millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood for himself one day.

"You don’t need to stay for five days. I can give you the millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood right now," Sehyun Wang said, looking a bit disappointed.

Amalia raised an eyebrow. "We have an agreement in place."

"The agreement can change based on circumstances. Hana Yun is targeting you because of me; you’ve been dragged into this because of me, and I feel guilty. This is the only way I can compensate you," Sehyun Wang explained.

Once she learned about Kenny Lin’s identity, Sehyun Wang realized that one more day was unnecessary.

Afraid they might refuse, she added, "If you don’t accept this, I will feel even worse."

"Since that’s the case, I won’t refuse," Amalia replied. This was fine; no matter how many days Kenny Lin stayed here, Sehyun Wang wouldn’t be able to get what she wanted. There was no need to give her more hope or waste anyone’s time.

Sehyun Wang instructed Yuri to retrieve the millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood from the storeroom. Yuri didn’t say anything and soon returned with the item.

Sehyun Wang handed the millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood to Amalia and, right in front of her, tore up the agreement.

Confirming that it was indeed the millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood, Amalia also tore up the agreement in front of her. After wishing her well, the three of them—Amalia, Kenny Lin, and Sect Leader Qing—left Skyward City together.

"Master," Yuri said, walking up to Sehyun Wang with concern in her eyes.

"I’m fine. It’s just that I have a crush on a strong man’s disciple. At least he doesn’t come from a famous family, so I still have a chance," Sehyun Wang replied with a playful tongue gesture.

Seeing her quickly regain her spirits, Yuri felt a sense of relief. "Those with ambition can achieve their goals. If you truly like him, there will come a day when you can win his heart."

"I need to think of ways to get closer to him," Sehyun Wang suddenly had a bright idea. "Yuri, do you think he’ll attend the Path of All Immortals?"

"He’s currently at the late Nascent Soul stage and is a disciple of Master Lian, so it’s highly likely he will. However, the qualifications for the Path of All Immortals are very difficult to obtain." Yuri’s expression grew troubled; most cultivators attending the assembly were extraordinary talents, and her master’s aptitude was somewhat lacking, making it a challenge.

"There’s still a bit of time. I’ll work hard," Sehyun Wang said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Seeing her master like this, Yuri felt a sense of comfort. It seemed that having someone she truly liked wasn’t a bad thing after all.

As her gaze fell on a few men running out from the City Lord’s Mansion, Yuri’s focus sharpened on Futa, and her eyes turned cold.

"Master, before we proceed, we should first deal with the spy in the residence."

Sehyun Wang suddenly remembered that matter. Following Yuri’s gaze to Futa, her rationality turned her expression increasingly icy. "As for the spy, Yuri, you handle it. I’ll go back to my room to cultivate."

She had been so good to Futa; anyone could betray her, but she had thought he wouldn’t. To her surprise, he was the one in the end.

Just then, Futa, who was approaching, heard those words. His heart tightened, and he involuntarily clenched his right hand. Surely, Master hadn’t discovered it was him, right?

That fleeting sense of hope quickly vanished with Yuri’s command to have him captured.

...

Three days later, Harmonywood City sent the main stock of Heavenly Dew and one million five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones to the Green Lotus Sect.

During these three days, after several rounds of bargaining, the amount of Heavenly Dew was reduced from fifteen drops to eight, nearly halving the original amount. However, this was still better than their initial expectations, and the top-grade spirit stones were also fifty thousand more than anticipated.

Sect Leader Qing instructed Renshu Chang to hand over all these items to Amalia without taking a single cent for himself.

When Renshu Chang delivered the items, his expression was blank.
