Chapter 1034: Chapter 1037: Give Me 1 Month

”Hmph, little junior brother, you sure know how to flatter. I usually despise sycophants, but today, for the sake of us being fellow sect members, and because you were personally recommended by the senior brother to the master, allowing you to ascend to an Inner Sect Disciple, I’ll let it go.”

Su Baiyue spoke disdainfully, reaching into her clothes to take out a small blue-and-white porcelain medicine bottle. She poured out a brown pill the size of a pea and turned to hand it to Shangguan Zhenxiong.

”Feed this pill to your brother, and within three hours, he’ll be perfectly fine.”

”Alright, thank you, Senior Sister Su. You truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva, the great benefactor who has brought my brother back to life...”

Shangguan Zhenxiong, moved to tears, quickly accepted the pill and then administered it to Shangguan Zhenbang.

Yang Guang watched Shangguan Zhenxiong’s obsequious behavior, shook his head disdainfully, and said, ”Little junior brother, you brought us all the way out here just to save your brother? Ha, isn’t that making a mountain out of a molehill? For your brother’s worthless life, you’ve wasted four hours of my and Senior Sister Su’s time.”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhenxiong was infuriated, his gaze brimming with anger.

His elder brother was directly insulted as having a ”worthless life” by Yang Guang, which was in essence an indirect insult to him!

This made Shangguan Zhenxiong furious inside.

He already behaved very obsequiously toward Yang Guang and Su Baiyue earlier.

Yet these two young people, who were more than a decade younger than him, acted as if no one else mattered, completely disregarding him!

Shangguan Zhenxiong hung his head in deep thought for a few seconds in anger, but reason ultimately overcame his fury.

What use was his anger?

Yang Guang and Su Baiyue were among the top thirty experts in the Spiritual Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect disciples. And himself? He had just been promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple, with rumors that it was due to help from the senior brother... Among the Inner Sect Disciples, his strength likely didn’t even rank in the top two hundred.

The disparity in strength left Shangguan Zhenxiong without any temper whatsoever.

Hesitating, he could only continue to speak obsequiously, ”Yes, yes, Senior Brother Yang, your lesson is correct. I have already prepared a gift, and since the two of you have come such a long way, how could I let you leave empty-handed...”

With that, Shangguan Zhenxiong waved at the housekeeper, who understood immediately and retreated.

Before long, the housekeeper returned to the living room with four servants.

The four servants brought out two boxes of items.

”These are all gold. Each box of gold is worth fifteen million. Please, Senior Brother Yang and Senior Sister Su, accept it with a smile.”

Shangguan Zhenxiong said as he opened the two boxes, and immediately, a dazzling golden light filled the room, blinding anyone’s eyes.

Seeing the two boxes of gold, Yang Guang and Su Baiyue both unconsciously allowed their frowns to smooth out.

Shangguan Zhenxiong was well aware that over in the Spiritual Domain, they mostly used gold and silver instead of paper currency, so he carefully prepared two boxes of gold, confident that Yang Guang and Su Baiyue wouldn’t refuse.

However, these two boxes of gold were originally prepared in hopes that after giving the gift, Yang Guang and Su Baiyue would save all the Shangguan family’s servants.

But now, Su Baiyue was only willing to save Shangguan Zhenbang, and with much reluctance, Shangguan Zhenxiong dared not say anything, only to helplessly watch his servants succumb to poison.

”Hmm, you know your place. Then we’ll accept it with a smile. No worries, you can drive us back.”

Upon receiving the gift, Yang Guang beamed and, along with Su Baiyue, took it all. Then, surprisingly, they specifically asked Shangguan Zhenxiong to personally drive them back to the mountain where they cultivated.

Shangguan Zhenxiong had no choice but to comply.

Fortunately, by the time he returned to the Shangguan family after sending Yang Guang and Su Baiyue off, Shangguan Zhenbang had already woken up.

”Second Brother, you’re finally back. What’s going on? Why have so many people in our family died?”

The newly awakened Shangguan Zhenbang was stunned to see over a dozen poisoned servants.

After hearing Shangguan Zhenxiong slowly recount the poisoning incident, Shangguan Zhenbang finally understood the situation, shaking his head and sighing:

”Alas, our Shangguan family... this time we’ve been truly weakened. That Qin Tian is too insidious!”

Mentioning Qin Tian was bad enough; upon bringing him up, Shangguan Zhenxiong’s temper flared instantly. ”That kid will pay for this! It’s unmanly if I don’t avenge this! I’ll make him pay with his life, cough, cough...”

”Second Brother, you seem to have been gravely injured by him as well. Are you okay?”

”I was ambushed by him... This time, I’ll probably need at least a month to recuperate and heal. Big Brother, your life was saved because I asked for help from my senior brother and sister at the sect to retrieve it from the Yama Palace for you. This time, I’ve also told my senior brother and sister that I will be going to Wuming Mountain to cultivate. So, Big Brother, the family matters will be in your hands for the time being.”

”No problem... It’s just, if the War Dragon clan comes to provoke us again, what should I do?”

”Ha, they got what they wanted, and they’d probably wish we wouldn’t provoke them. Would they dare to actively provoke us?”

Shangguan Zhenxiong sneered and then said, ”Nonetheless, to be safe, I’ll leave my disciples here to help. Then, whatever happens, you can call me immediately, and I can return in just a few hours...”

As Shangguan Zhenxiong said this, a sinister look appeared on his face. ”Give me a month’s time. I’m going to Wuming Mountain not only for healing but also cultivation. I’ll bring a billion in gold to Wuming Mountain to curry favor with my senior brother and sister, asking them to help me with my training. Ha, ha, after I descend the mountain in a month, I’ll crush Qin Tian to dust!”

”Good, Second Brother, Big Brother will wait for your triumphant return!”

...

”Boss, do you think the Shangguan family will seek revenge?”

In Murong Fei’s villa, Xiao Zhuang and Cao Guojun, among others, all thought of the same question and asked Qin Tian.

It’s been three days since the chaos at the Shangguan family’s house. They initially assumed that the Shangguan family would retaliate wildly, but as of now, not a single ripple of movement had been sensed, which was indeed unusual.

Qin Tian replied, ”They will, definitely.”

”We humiliated them so greatly last time, and with Shangguan Zhenxiong’s arrogant nature, not tolerating any insult, this grudge will definitely be avenged.”

After Qin Tian spoke, everyone nodded.

Lin Yu said, ”Indeed, that’s how I see it too. Boss inflicted such severe injuries on him, would Shangguan Zhenxiong tolerate such humiliation? If he could tolerate it, Murong Bei’s grandfather wouldn’t have been murdered by him.”

Cao Guojun nodded, ”That’s right, so why has there been no movement these past few days?”

”Could it be because Shangguan Zhenxiong is seriously injured?” Lin Yu chimed in.

Qin Tian thought for a moment and then nodded, ”I suspect it is directly related. You may not know, but I’m quite aware. The severe wounds I inflicted on that old Shangguan villain, even with elixirs, would require at least a month’s recovery.”
