"Immortal Fairy Wu Kong"
o ( (⊙ ﹏ ⊙) ) o
Shocked!
Stunned!
The "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong," who always maintained a "strong woman image," showed a "dumbfounded" expression, a sight rarely seen in a thousand years. It must be said, she possessed a unique charm and beauty in that moment.
The tiny "beauty mole" at the corner of her lips seemed to radiate an "adorable aura," making her appear exceptionally captivating!
However, the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong's" state was fleeting. She quickly regained her composure.
The "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong's" phoenix eyes swept over Qian Duoduo, her gaze filled with immense complexity.
Originally, she had intended to use the matter of "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" to deliver a "wake-up call" to Qian Duoduo.
This was a negotiation tactic commonly employed by the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong."
After delivering an initial "wake-up call," most people would fall into a state of "bewilderment."
In the subsequent negotiations, the opponent's momentum would be completely suppressed by the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong." The ultimate outcome would be Qian Duoduo being led by the nose, unknowingly giving the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" a significant advantage.
The "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" never dreamed that her always effective strategy would be utterly useless against Qian Duoduo.
Not only was Qian Duoduo not "shocked into silence," but he had also turned the tables, giving the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" a "little surprise."
This feeling was unbearable!
The "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" asked in a cold voice.
"Qian Duoduo, you cunning and deceitful merchant, since you know Neon intends to harm you, why are you still involved with him? Why did you even provide him with a large sum of money?"
This point, the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" truly couldn't understand.
If Qian Duoduo were foolish enough not to know about "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" sinister intentions, then it would be understandable.
Now that Qian Duoduo had seen through "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" intentions, why was he still eagerly sending money to "Neon Quasi-Saint Son"? Was he burning with excess cash?
There was something wrong!
Her intuition told the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" that there was a problem.
Qian Duoduo chuckled, making no attempt to conceal anything. He laid it all out and said.
"The true benefactor of our Dragon Rider Merchant Association has never been Neon Quasi-Saint Son, but rather the Void Saint Son!"
"What?"
The "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Uh...
She had been shocked too many times today. This was a stark contrast to her usual demeanor of controlling situations and remaining outwardly unfazed, which defined her "persona."
However, the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" couldn't help it; she was too astonished!
The "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" never imagined that the true backing of the "Dragon Rider Merchant Association" was actually the "Void Saint Son."
No, that's not right!
A sharp glint shot through the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong's" phoenix eyes.
Even in her "shocked state," she maintained her formidable thinking ability. She quickly realized the issue at hand.
The "Void Saint Son" was notoriously known as a "useless second-generation heir."
That kind of person lacked strength and lacked strategy. Apart from a "good father" and a "good grandfather," he was essentially useless.
The "Void Saint Son" was incapable of protecting the "Dragon Rider Merchant Association."
And the "Dragon Rider Merchant Association" was ambitious...
Therefore.
The "Dragon Rider Merchant Association" wasn't seeking protection from the "Void Saint Son"; rather, they intended to control the "Void Saint Son," making him their "puppet."
Controlling the "Void Saint Son" was equivalent to controlling the "Penglai Sword Sect."
Having understood the cause and effect, the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" couldn't help but gasp inwardly.
She had initially thought of herself as "ambitious," but compared to the "Dragon Rider Merchant Association," she was too conservative. Her vision, her scope, had not been broadened enough!
"Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Penglai Sword Sect if you do this?"
It was good that the "Dragon Rider Merchant Association" was ambitious, but their plan was too foolish.
The "Penglai Sword Sect" was not easy to deal with. Once they discovered that the "Dragon Rider Merchant Association" was secretly manipulating the "Void Saint Son," the "Penglai Sword Sect" would not hesitate to destroy the "Dragon Rider Merchant Association."
A mere "Dragon Rider Merchant Association," did you really think you could contend with the "Penglai Sword Sect"?
Qian Duoduo chuckled, his smile still as harmless as ever.
Qian Duoduo said with a smile.
"Under normal circumstances, the Penglai Sword Sect would certainly not approve of our Dragon Rider Merchant Association. But what if we present the Void Saint Son with a colossal achievement?"
"A colossal achievement, what do you mean?"
"Heh heh, if the Void Saint Son performs exceptionally well in this Grand Ceremony of the Three Immortals' Departure, gaining the approval of both the Penglai Sword Sect and the Yingzhou Sword Sect, becoming the co-lord of both great sword sects... With such a tremendous achievement, Saintess, what do you think the Penglai Sword Sect's reaction will be towards our Dragon Rider Merchant Association!"
What, making the "Void Saint Son" the "co-lord of the Penglai Sword Sect and the Yingzhou Sword Sect"?
If this operation were truly successful, with this immense achievement, the "Penglai Sword Sect" might indeed acknowledge the "Dragon Rider Merchant Association."
This...
The "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" couldn't help but gasp again.
She had lost count of how many times she had gasped that night. It was unavoidable; the series of shocks Qian Duoduo had brought her were too profound, causing the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong's" heart to pound erratically.
At this moment, the "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong" finally understood why Qian Duoduo, knowing full well "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" wolfish ambition, had still gone out of his way to give him money.
Qian Duoduo wasn't giving money; he was clearly "digging a trap"!
His approach to "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" was to find an opportunity to frame him.
For the "Void Saint Son" to transcend sword sects and become the "Saint Son" of the "Yingzhou Sword Sect," merely defeating "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" was insufficient; he also needed the "Yingzhou Sword Sect's" approval.
Under normal circumstances, the high-ranking officials of the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" would not approve of such a matter.
However, if, at this very moment, the highly anticipated "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" were to suddenly "explode," perhaps for plotting to overthrow the "Three Immortal Sword Sect," etc.
The situation would become extremely delicate!
The "Yingzhou Sword Sect" would lack a suitable candidate for "Saint Son."
And the "Void Saint Son" had not only won the "inter-sect challenge" but had also foiled "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" conspiracy, saving the "Yingzhou Sword Sect."
In such a scenario, what choice would the high-ranking officials of the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" have?
They would have no choice but to reluctantly select the "Void Saint Son"!
What a brilliant plan!
The "Immortal Fairy Wu Kong's" expression shifted multiple times. Finally, her phoenix eyes turned, fixing on Qian Duoduo.
"I want to know, how do you plan to frame Neon?"
Qian Duoduo did not hide anything and spoke directly.
"Heh heh, it can't really be called framing. Isn't Neon Quasi-Saint Son colluding with the Great New Dynasty? We plan to expose this matter, and then add a little extra spice..."
