Chapter 1402
Even if you take off your clothes, I won't give them to you!
"Patriarch Qiu, this won't do... The spatial ring belongs to the family, and it contains half of the family's resources... I won't be able to explain this when I get back..."
But how could Qiu Tong possibly return the resources he already had?
"Hmph! When you were telling me to take off my clothes, why didn't you think of this now? If you've got the guts, take your clothes off and show me!"
"..."
Ning Shuimu had no words to refute Qiu Tong's words.
"Fine! I'll take it off then. But Patriarch Qiu, you'd better keep your word. I'll take off my clothes, and you give me back my ring!"
Ning Shuimu is now in a dilemma. The spatial ring contains some family secrets, and if it falls into Qiu Tong's hands, it will cause a lot of trouble.
So, while Ning Shuimu was speaking, he actually started to take off his clothes!
Qiu Tong sneered, and after Ning Shuimu had taken off most of her clothes, he continued, "Heh! Taking off your clothes is no problem, but the audience... when I took off my clothes just now, there were so many people watching! Do you think you can take off your clothes in the same way now?"
what?
Ning Shuimu was about to take off his underwear when he heard Qiu Tong's words and was completely stunned!
"What...what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, if you're going to take your clothes off, you have to do it in front of the exact same audience members as before, otherwise, I won't acknowledge it!"
"..."
The exact same audience?
Isn't this bullying the honest person?
Those audience members have already left!
Where could Ning Shuimu find them at this point?
"Patriarch Qiu, you've gone too far!"
Qiu Tong sneered, "I went too far? Hmph! When you were asking me to take my clothes off, why didn't you think that was going too far? Don't say I didn't give you a chance, I already gave you a chance... If you didn't seize it, then don't blame me!"
"I……"
Ning Shuimu realized that the ring was now completely gone and could never be recovered!
As for fighting?
Ha ha!
Those families and sects that had agreed to act together had all gone to chase after the Wu family experts and hadn't stayed behind at all. How could the Ning family possibly defeat Qiu Tong's people?
Ugh!
forget it!
The focus should still be on the second secret realm of the Star Emperor; let's not waste time here!
Ning Shuimu was very stubborn, but he still insisted on speaking his mind, "Patriarch Qiu, if you do things this way, then we'll have to report to the Patriarch after we return to the Kunxu World and ask the Kunxu World Alliance to judge this matter!"
You may lose the ring, but you can't lose the moral compass!
Furthermore, we must preserve the possibility of a comeback, or at least retain the right to pursue legal action!
"Sure! Whatever you want..."
Qiu Tong smiled faintly.
Should we return to Kunxu World to file a complaint?
Would Ning Shuimu dare?
How do I file a complaint? Should I say they bullied Qiu Tong and demanded he take off all his clothes for inspection?
Or was Qiu Tong forcing him to take off his clothes as well?
They can't afford to lose face!
Qiu Tong called out to his men and quickly left the scene, heading towards the Central Plains region!
As for the other side, the Wu family was already fighting with the experts from other sects in the Three Thousand Worlds, and Qiu Tong didn't even glance at them.
Because in the end, the key and the map will all converge in the Central Plains region.
...In Youzhou City, Xuanfeng hosted Ye Fan, Shennu, Li Debiao, Chu Ran, and their entourage for a meal!
Consider this a way of thanking Ye Fan for saving the entire Xuan family!
The entire city of Youzhou returned to peace after the Qin family completely submitted to Ye Fan and the extraterrestrial demon Yiji gang perished!
Xuan Yufei has been rescued, although she still has some minor issues with her soul!
But Ye Fan already knew that Xuan Yufei was one of his confidantes from back then. Once Xuan Yufei's memories were fully awakened, that little bit of damage to her soul should not be a problem.
Therefore, the matter in Youzhou was perfectly resolved.
"Young Master Ye... you're really not in a hurry to go to Zhongzhou? It's already in such a mess there?"
Chu Ran was aware of the follow-up plans and actions arranged by Qin Yang and Li Ming, but since it was the Star Emperor's Secret Realm, Chu Ran was still somewhat worried.
Ye Fan waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright! Let them make a scene... You know, even if they manage to open the secret realm space by chance, they still can't enter the truly crucial core area without me!"
Just like the secret realm in Sunset Forest, even if the gate is open, it is still divided into inner and outer areas. The outer area can be entered freely, but the inner area requires Ye Fan's bloodline verification before entry is permitted.
"But I'm still worried... Brother-in-law! Since you're going back to Nanzhou, I'll go check on things in Zhongzhou first! Also, I'm still a little concerned about Li Ming and Qin Yang..."
Chu Ran and Ye Fan had been through so much together; they were practically brothers in arms.
The key point is that Chu Yurou has already become Ye Fan's person, and with the added advantage of being his brother-in-law, Chu Ran is absolutely loyal to Ye Fan!
"Alright!"
Ye Fan nodded. The situation in Zhongzhou was in complete chaos, and Ye Fan didn't know much about it. He knew little about the eight major families of Zhongzhou, other hidden families, and even some secret forces within the Tiankui base of the Mother God Gate.
Let Chu Ran lead Li Debiao, the group of experts from the extraterrestrial beings, and those from the Central Plains families who have already submitted through soul contracts, to pave the way first.
"Li Debiao, Captain Zhou... you will follow Chu Ran's orders! Go to Zhongzhou first to find out the situation. Note that unless there is a life-or-death crisis, do not fight them, understand?"
The Central Plains are now in disarray due to issues with the map and the key.
The powerful beings in the Three Thousand Worlds will fight among themselves; there's absolutely no need for Ye Fan's people to get involved.
"understand!"
"Then, Yufei, Linglong, Gong Shu... and Yurou... shall we go back to Nanzhou?"
It's been so long since I left Nanzhou. As the sect leader of Qingyuan Sect, I still need to make an appearance!
Let's also take a look at how the Qingyuan Sect has developed now!
Throughout the entire Southern Continent, have the territories occupied and resources plundered by the Soul Palace, the Blood Fiend Sect, and other sects that previously bullied the Azure Origin Sect been returned?
And those experts that Qingyuan Sect temporarily recruited using their financial power, are they completely bound to Qingyuan Sect?
Are there any problems with Qingyuan Sect's mining operations?
These things need to be put into practice when we get back!
Only when Qingyuan Sect is completely transformed into a super sect can Ye Fan leave the Immortal Realm with complete peace of mind!
Before that, Ye Fan had to make arrangements for the future development of the Qingyuan Sect.
Xiaoying, Jiang Yingda, and other experts, Hongyan... how to arrange their future should be taking shape!
Among the beauties who came to the Immortal Realm from the mortal world, some have extremely powerful talents, such as Ling Yifei, Qi Jiao, and Tu Zhiyue. These are all reincarnations of the Star Emperor's beauties from ten thousand years ago. They will definitely have no problem continuing to advance with Ye Fan!
But for some others... that's not necessarily true... (End of Chapter)
