Chapter 116 The Cui Family
Never mind, indifference is fine, but I'm still thinking about Chen An.
With Fu Gui by his side, Chen An headed ahead to the sect.
Inside the room, tea was laid out on a round pear wood table. Chen An stood with his back to the table by the window, silently gazing at the distant mountains.
"Aren't you going to inform Meng Huan?" Fu Gui asked, leaning closer as Chen An made no further move.
Chen An raised his eyebrows slightly. "The tanks went."
"Now, am I third?"
With no emotion in his clear, bright eyes, Chen An looked at Fu Gui, who seemed utterly heartbroken, and chuckled.
Fu Gui was even angrier when he heard the laughter.
It's a noble otherworldly raccoon; how could it be mocked?
He turned around, pulled the stool behind him with one hand, sat down hard, closed his eyes, and began to breathe heavily.
Chen An nudged Fu Gui and said, "You're so smart. Staying here will not only give me advice, but also protect me in critical moments. I can't do without you."
Qiao Sheli pushed open the door and walked in. She heard Chen An's words clearly.
I initially found it strange, but seeing Fugui's appearance, I guessed what was going on.
She winked at Chen An and quietly sat down next to Fu Gui.
Seeing that Fu Gui's ears twitched, but he still refused to open his eyes, she reluctantly placed several high-grade pills in front of him.
"I was wondering why Chen'an had been so unhappy these past few days. It turns out it's because Fugui is ignoring her."
Fu Gui wrinkled his nose, furtively took his hand up from under the table, and with a speed that no one could detect, put the pill into his storage bag.
Chen An went around behind Fu Gui and patted it on the shoulder.
Seeing that Fugui didn't hide, I felt much more at ease.
"How's the investigation going?"
Qiao Sheli bit her lower lip, her face somewhat embarrassed: "The Cui family."
"The Cui family, one of the eight great families?"
Qiao Sheli nodded and said, "Fortunately, we don't have any grudges. As long as we explain it clearly, it's not a big deal."
Upon hearing this, Fu Gui sat up straight and looked up at Chen An.
Chen An shrugged and gave a wry smile: "This is a huge problem."
Fu Gui took a sip of tea and then disappeared.
Chen An also quickly summoned Hua Yuan.
This time, Hua Yuan's hostility had disappeared, but unfortunately, his power had weakened considerably.
"Master, what are your orders?"
Chen An picked up the teacup on the table and said calmly, "Gather all the demonic cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Core Formation or above, and divide them into two groups. You will personally lead one group and lie in ambush at the foot of the mountain with Chen Mingde. They will await my orders and be ready to act at any time."
"Yes."
Hua Yuan looked up at the teacup handed to her, took it without hesitation, and was about to drink when she seemed to remember something. She put the cup back on the table and said, "Your subordinate will certainly not fail in your mission."
Chen An nodded slightly and watched Hua Yuan leave.
Qiao Sheli stared at the teacup on the table, the tea still swirling gently, and hesitated before asking, "The Cui family?"
"You want to ask me how I offended the Cui family?" Chen An sat down and looked up, saying, "I killed Cui Sinian."
"Cui Sinian!" Qiao Sheli's eyes widened in horror.
Whether mortal or cultivator, everyone knows that blood ties are the hardest to sever, especially within the power structures formed by families.
If the Cui family doesn't intervene after killing Cui Sinian, it will inevitably cause internal divisions.
Putting all that aside, Cui Sinian is the head of the family's biological son, and this time it seems like it's going to be a fight to the death.
Chen An looked at Qiao Sheli sitting there in a daze and whispered, "Are you scared?"
Qiao Sheli suddenly woke up and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be afraid, I'll go help Mingde."
Chen An shook his head and said, "I have something else I need to trouble you with."
"Alright, I'll do anything that can help the sect."
"Chen Mingde and Hua Yuan led nearly half of the people to guard the main gate, Fu Gui and the spirit beasts guarded the back mountain, and Wu Siyue went to Baoyuan Pavilion to get the money, but there was no one guarding the east and west sides."
Qiao Sheli said without hesitation, "I can take the sect disciples to the east."
"Alright, you'll be in charge of the east, Yao Lu will be in charge of the west, and I'll divide the remaining demonic cultivators into two groups and assign them to the two of you."
After receiving the order, Qiao Sheli quickly went to the east, joined up with the demonic cultivators, concealed his presence, and began to scout out the enemy's situation.
Although the Cui family has lost its former glory, it is still one of the eight great families.
Those who can bear this title, even if they are in the lower ranks, are not weak at all.
Within the family, the five Nascent Soul stage cultivators and the twenty-three Yin-Yang stage cultivators are all formidable obstacles.
Chen An has twenty-one subordinates at the Yin-Yang Realm, including himself, and none at the Nascent Soul Realm.
If she hadn't set up the formation in advance, she would have packed her bags and run away long ago.
[Victory in battle will grant you ten armed airships, ten Yin-Yang Realm Xuan Iron Golden Armor warriors, one million high-grade spirit stones, and five thousand pieces of Golden Silk Robe.]
Does the host accept the task?
A conflict with the Cui family is unavoidable; refusing to accept it would be a waste of an opportunity.
"accept."
Okay, good luck, darling.
"Accept what?"
"Master, why are you here?" Chen An turned his head sharply upon hearing the old man's voice, only to see that Elder Ming San was not the only one there, but also Meng Huan and Tank.
"Why did you all come together?"
Chen An smiled sweetly. This time, she didn't expect Elder Ming San to interfere with her. After all, from the perspective of Zhao Ning Sect, she shouldn't get involved in this matter.
Elder Mingsan stretched and said, "I didn't want to come, but if I don't come, my disciples won't be able to sit still."
Upon hearing this, Chen An said, "Stop making excuses, Master. You won't abandon me, just like Meng Huan wouldn't abandon his younger sister."
"Bullshit." Elder Mingsan pushed aside the tea on the table, took out his wine with practiced ease, and slurped, "You have to drink to fight. When you're drunk, you don't feel pain, and you're not afraid of death."
Meng Huan was about to say something when he was silenced by Elder Mingsan's snoring.
"The tank hadn't brought your letter yet when the elder came to see me."
Chen An's heart tightened. Perhaps her unreliable master was more responsible than any elder she had ever met.
Of course, Chen An hadn't expected Meng Huan to come in person. Although the demonic cultivators had won their invasion of the Xu Hua Sect, it still had an impact.
"Thank you."
Meng Huan patted Chen An's head and said, "There's no need for such formalities between siblings."
At this time in Pingnan City, Feng Shouyuan and Feng Mingli had already packed their bags and, with over a hundred hired thugs, insisted on following Wu Siyue.
“Old Feng, you’re only at the initial stage of the Meridian Opening Realm. What can you do by going?”
Wu Siyue is thin-skinned and finds it very difficult to refuse people.
Furthermore, since Feng Shouyuan was using the pretext of repaying a debt of gratitude, it became even more difficult to stop him from going.
In the past, at least Feng Mingli was rational.
But this time, upon hearing that Yihezong was going to clash with the Cui family, she immediately transformed into the same demeanor as her grandfather.
