nBelow the Wind and Rain Tower, Su Yi was stopped by the two guards.

nHe learned from the branch clerk that Nie Ling and the others were in the Wind and Rain Tower to have a discussion with the young master of the Lu family of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

nMoreover, from that person, he learned that the Nie family’s branch had come this far because of the means of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

nHe could be certain that the person from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion did not have any good intentions during this discussion.

nHence, Su Yi had rushed over immediately after he understood the current situation. Currently, he was being stopped by two guards. One could see that the auras of these two guards were high. They actually possessed the strength of the foundation establishment stage.

nHe spoke indifferently to the two guards, “the two of you, I’m here to look for someone. Can I pass through?”

nHe did not expect the two guards to look at him with an unfriendly expression, and then said sternly, “The Wind and Rain Tower isn’t open today. Please come another day.”

nAs they spoke, their imposing aura was high, as if others did not know that they were the gatekeepers.

nAs the saying goes, dogs rely on the power of others. Behind them was the young master of the Lu family. With this title, who would dare to provoke them?

nHowever, they did not expect that this handsome and resolute man in their eyes, along with the Thousand Treasures Pavilion and the Lu family, which was one of the forces behind them, would be provoked.

n

n

nSu Yi’s face slightly sank as he communicated with Nie Ling through the immortal destiny seal.

n“Fellow Daoist Nie.”

nAlmost as soon as the message was sent out, Nie Ling sent back a message. She said with a delighted tone.

n“Fellow Daoist Su, you’ve returned to Horizon City?”

n“Yes. How’s the situation at the branch? Did the people from the myriad treasures pavilion make things difficult for you?” he asked softly.

nAt the teahouse of the Wind and Rain Tower, Nie Ling’s face was filled with faint joy. After Su Yi returned to Horizon City, her previously tense mood seemed to have relaxed.

nOn the other side, when Lu Shixian saw Nie Ling’s faint smile, he thought she had thought of something.

nImmediately, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. What miss Nie of the Nie family? She was still in his hands just like that.

nAfter that, he looked at Nie Ling and said indifferently with a gentle expression.

n“Miss Nie, have you thought it through?”

nHis face carried a gentle smile as he kept looking at Nie Ling, as if he wanted to hear the answer he wanted from Nie Ling.

nSoon, Nie Ling gave him the answer as well. Her face suddenly turned cold as she said in an indifferent tone.

n“I’m sorry, Young Master Lu. I won’t think about it anymore. Besides, I have something important to attend to. I’ll take my leave first.”

n“Okay, okay. Then let’s pick a date…”

n?

nLu Shixian, who was listening to Nie Ling’s answer, smiled. He was about to say that they would choose a date.

nHe suddenly felt that something was wrong. He did not hear the answer he wanted from Nie ling. Instead, he was met with a decisive rejection.

nThis feeling almost made him lose his face. Instantly, his expression became serious, as if his expression had changed. His eyes also became cold.

nHe stared at Nie Ling and said coldly, “I’m not going to let you go.”

n“Miss Nie, do you know that these words have really cut off this branch’s path of retreat?”

n“Could it be that your Nie family is planning to give up on Horizon City’s branch?”

nNie Ling did not pay much attention to his threat. She stood up and walked straight downstairs, leaving a faint sentence behind a beautiful figure.

n“You don’t need to worry about my Nie family’s matters.”

nAs she spoke, that beautiful figure had already disappeared from Lu Shixian’s sight.

nAfter Nie Ling completely left, Lu Shixian smashed the tea set on the table onto the ground with a wave of his hand. The sound of it shattering could be heard.

nHis expression was extremely gloomy, and his gaze was filled with a vicious rage as he spoke.

n“Tch! Stinky woman, you don’t know what’s good for you! Wait until I directly destroy this branch of Horizon City, I’ll see how you’ll answer to your family!”

n…

nNie Ling slowly walked out of the main door of the stormy building. She was still wearing a cold expression on her face.

nWith just a glance, she saw someone and her face beamed with joy.

n“Fellow Daoist Su, why are you here?”

nShe moved her footsteps and arrived in front of a familiar figure.

nSu Yi was quietly leaning against a stone statue not far away, as if he was waiting for someone.

nAfter being called out by Nie Ling, he turned his head around and looked at the beautiful figure that had appeared in front of her as he faintly asked.

n“How is it? The people from the Thousand Treasure Pavilion didn’t make things difficult for you, right?” his eyes contained some worry as he looked at her.

nNie Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly. Su Yi’s worried expression caused a warm current to flow through her heart.

nSoon after, her pretty eyes curved as she smiled and said.

n“Fellow Daoist Su, I’m the eldest daughter of the Nie family, so they naturally won’t dare to make things too difficult for me.”

n“But…”

n…

nNie ling and him slowly walked on the streets of Horizon City and slowly explained the current situation of the Nie family’s trading company.

nIn Horizon City, Lu Shixian suddenly appeared from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion and interfered with the Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s affairs.

nThen, he began to wantonly purchase the demon beast materials of the various demon hunting squads in the Horizon City, and unexpectedly raised the price a little.

nTheir branch had also tried to purchase the demon beast materials at the same price as the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, but soon after, the Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Horizon City raised the prices.

nAs long as a discerning person saw it, they would know that this was aimed at the Nie family branch. For a time, those rogue cultivators and the demon hunting squads all sold the materials to the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

nAs a result, the Nie family branch could not purchase the materials and produce the products, resulting in the loss of a lot of customers.

nThe stock of the branch’s warehouse was also gradually reaching its bottom. If there was no turning back, and in the end, it could only walk towards destruction.

nAlong the way, Nie Ling’s expression became more and more solemn as she spoke. Now that they did not have a stable customer, and they also did not have a stable product output, they were not far from breaking up the branch in Horizon City.

nAlthough it was only a branch at the border of the Central Plains, it was undoubtedly a great blow to the Nie family trading company, which was located at the center of the Central Plains.

nThe loss of a branch meant the loss of a branch’s influence. Overall, the Nie family trading company’s losses were much greater than the loss of a branch.

n

n

nThis was also the reason why Nie Ling was so worried. The relationship behind the loss of a branch was too big. No matter what, she had to do her best to maintain the Nie family branch until the very last moment.

n“Is there any solution?”

nSu Yi, who was at the side, looked at the worried Nie Ling and asked indifferently. He had nothing to worry about, so naturally, he was not as worried as Nie Ling. However, when he saw how worried the beauty was, he felt sorry for her.

nMoreover, he was the one who started all of this.

n“Yes!”

nNie Ling turned her head and looked at him with hope in her eyes. Then, she quickened her pace and returned to the branch of the Nie family.

nAfter returning to the branch of the Nie family, she said to Su Yi with a solemn expression.

n“There is a way. Fellow Daoist Su, I’m afraid I’ll have to rely on you this time.”

n“Could it be that you want to refine pills?”

n….
