Chapter 1199: Getting Rich overnight

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Had he been too merciful in beating this kid up?

If not for the fact that he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it to his wife when he returned, Wei Xu would have cleaned up the house on the spot.

The Fire Slaughter Sect had helped the Hundred Flowers Palace a lot this time. When they returned, not only did they obtain a large sum of money, but they also brought back 30 sheep.

Lu Aotian swaggered down the street. The Deputy Sect Master reminded, “Boss, we’ve circled three times.”

Lu Aotian said, “Circle two more times!”

He had to let the entire island know that their Fire Slaughter Sect had become rich overnight!

Jing Yi saw the injured Chu Feifeng at the Fire Slaughter Sect.

“Young Marquis?”

Chu Feifeng was very surprised.

She knew that Jing Yi had also come to Thousand Mountains Island, but she didn’t expect him to visit her.

“Take the medicine first.” Jing Yi handed her a small medicine bottle. “Xiaoxiao asked me to bring it to you.”

Chu Feifeng’s heart warmed as she said guiltily, “I’ve done something to hurt Admiral Qin. I feel guilty accepting Seventh Sister-in-law’s kindness.” Jing Yi was not good at comforting anyone other than Su Xiaoxiao.

He thought for a moment and said, “I’m here to bring you back to the Hundred

Flowers Palace.”

She had already heard about what happened in the Hundred Flowers Palace last night from the Fire Slaughter Sect disciples who had returned.

The Hundred Flowers Palace was powerful, but it was attacked by a few large sects overnight. She did not believe that no one was helping to encourage it.

Chu Feifeng shook her head. “I can’t go back with you.” “Why?” Jing Yi was puzzled.

Chu Feifeng said, “I have to stay in the Heavenly Jade Hall.”

Jing Yi said, “But you’ve already been exposed.”

Chu Feifeng said seriously, “I have a way to gain Madam Ji’s trust. Wait for me. I’ll write a letter. Bring it to Seventh Sister-in-law and Seventh Brother for me.”

As she spoke, she spread out the paper and began to grind ink.

The Fire Slaughter Sect was poor. Even the paper they used was rough paper that was easily smudged.

Jing Yi paused and said, “General Wei is also here.” Chu Feifeng was stunned.

Jing Yi looked at her. “Aren’t you going to see him?”

Chu Feifeng felt aggrieved about seeing her father, but she was an unfilial daughter. She felt she had let her father down. Her eyes were red. “I’m too ashamed to see him.”

Jing Yi didn’t know what to say.

Chu Feifeng wiped her tears and smiled. “Help me grind the ink.”

“Oh.”

Jing Yi took the ink block from her.

When it was almost noon, Chu Feifeng dragged her injured body back to the Heavenly Jade Hall.

Just as she reached the door, she was grabbed and brought to Madam Ji’s courtyard.

However, Madam Ji was being reprimanded by her father and did not have the time to deal with her for the time being.

“Look at what you’ve done!”

The Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion pointed at the unconscious Ji Minglou on the bed. “If your brother had gone a little later, you would have become a widow!”

Madam Ji said in a low voice, “I didn’t expect Slave Killer to be as stupid as a pig and actually attack Minglou.”

The Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion said in antic.i.p.ation from someone, “At this point, you haven’t recognized your mistake! How many times have I warned you not to go against the Hundred Flowers Palace! Are you afraid that if Yun Shuang dies, others won’t suspect the Heavenly Jade Hall and the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion!”

Madam Ji said unhappily, “So be it. Dad, what are you afraid of? Can’t the

Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and the Heavenly Jade Hall deal with a mere Hundred Flowers Palace? Besides, my sister-in-law has already given birth to an heir for the City Lord. The City Lord won’t side with the Hundred Flowers Palace anymore! Those sects outside who are inferior to us have seen the situation clearly. They went to provoke the Hundred Flowers Palace last night. Are we inferior to them?!”

The Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion said, “Then let me ask you. Did so many people achieve any success in attacking the Hundred Flowers Palace last night?”

Madam Ji choked.

The few major sects suffered heavy losses. Even the Golden Arhat of the Arhat Sect, Seven Absolutes Children of the Seven Absolutes Sect, and Poison Xian’er of the Five Poison Sect died on the spot.

Madam Ji said, “Isn’t this because of the Mount Wu Sect and the Fire Slauzhter

Sect?”

The Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion said, “Have you thought about who instigated the Mount Wu Sect and persuaded the Fire

Slaughter Sect? Lu Aotian didn’t listen to the City Lord’s order. The Thousand

Possibilities Pavilion didn’t even invite him back then.”

Madam Ji snorted. “He doesn’t know how to appreciate favors!”

Madam Ji looked down on small sects like the Fire Slaughter Sect.

The Pavilion Master of the Thousand Chance Pavilion said, “Since Lu Aotian is recognized by the City Lord, he must be outstanding. Forget it, you won’t listen even if I tell you. You’ve been spoiled by your mother and are stubborn!”

Seeing that her father was really angry, Madam Ji did not dare to argue with him anymore.

She looked at the unconscious Ji Minglou and begged, “Dad, please save Minglou.”

The Pavilion Master of the Thousand Chance Pavilion said, “Where can I find someone to save him? He’s so injured that only two people can save him. Granny Ghost and Elder Qiu, go beg for help yourself!” With that, he left without looking back.

Madam Ji hurriedly chased after him. “Dad! Dad!”

“Well

On the bed, Ji Minglou let out a low moan of pain.

She hurriedly turned back and held his hand tightly. “Minglou… Minglou, wake up!”

Taozhi picked the curtain and entered. “Madam, Yunniang is back.”

Madam Ji’s expression darkened. “She still has the cheek to come back? Drag her away and kill her!”

A trace of smugness flashed across Taozhi’s eyes. “Yes.”

“Madam, Yunniang is innocent!”

Chu Feifeng’s voice came from outside the house.

Taozhi walked out coldly. “Who allowed you to shout?”

Chu Feifeng said, “I want to see Madam.”

Taozhi said condescendingly, “You betrayed Madam. Madam has already ordered you to be executed!”

Chu Feifeng said seriously, “I didn’t betray Madam!”

Taozhi said, “You secretly left the residence last night. You were simply a spy of the Hundred Flowers Palace!”

Chu Feifeng looked wronged. “I left the residence because I broke the gla.s.s vase in the house. That vase is very expensive. I was afraid of being discovered, so I secretly went out to buy an identical one!”

“It’s useless no matter what you say! Take her down and beat her to death!”

“Let go of me! Let go of me! Ah… My medicine! That medicine was given by

Granny Ghost. It’s very expensive! Don’t break it!”

“Hold on.”

Madam Ji suddenly said, “Let her in.”

Taozhi was stunned.

The two servants who had captured Chu Feifeng let go.

Chu Feifeng picked up the medicine bottle that had fallen to the ground and entered the house in a sorry state.

“Madam.”

She Imelt down in front of Madam Ji. Madam Ji paused. ‘You said you have Granny Ghost’s medicine?”

Chu Feifeng replied respectfully, “Yes.”

Madam Ji asked, “Where did you get it?”

“The Sect Master of the Fire Slaughter Sect gave it to me. Yesterday, I secretly went out to buy a vase and was chased by someone halfway. He claimed to be from the Heavenly lade Hall. hilt I’ve never seen him- He injured me. hilt

fortunately, the Sect Master of the Fire Slaughter Sect saw the injustice and helped me. Later on, my injuries were too serious and I fainted. This morning, the Sect Master of the Fire Slaughter Sect sold me a bottle of medicine. Yesterday, he only asked for a hundred taels to save me, but these two medicines cost five hundred taels… They’re very expensive.”

As Chu Feifeng spoke, she carefully grabbed the bottle tightly. Madam Ji asked skeptically, “Are you sure he didn’t trick you?”
