Chapter 139 A Mixed Feeling
"Um... I will obey your orders, senior."
As Wen Lingyu stepped forward and took away all the apologies from the Zhao family of Ziyu, the middle-aged man with a plump and round face was somewhat at a loss and felt embarrassed.
The senior accepted the gift, but his attitude was unpredictable, which put him in a difficult position, but he dared not show it.
Upon hearing Xu Yun's order to dismiss him, he immediately bowed and respectfully left the cave.
When he left, his plump, round face darkened. Upon learning that Xu Yun, who was often suppressed by the Ziyu Zhao family, had actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he knew something was wrong.
As a member of the Ziyu Zhao family, he held a certain position in Mofeng City, so he immediately prepared various generous gifts and paid a visit to show his sincerity.
Unfortunately, that senior's attitude towards the Ziyu Zhao family remains unclear, and if any conflict arises in the future, I will certainly not fare well.
"Damn Zhao Yunxuan, I should have never accepted her request in the first place."
The middle-aged man, who looked quite wealthy, clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with regret and resentment. In order to suppress Xu Yun and others, Zhao Yunxuan had offered him many benefits.
In addition, Zhao Yunxuan had made great contributions to the family at that time, and even rose through the ranks to the clan's territory. She would definitely hold a high position in the future, so it would be beneficial for him to curry favor with her in advance.
Unexpectedly, even under the suppression of the Zhao family of Ziyu, Xu Yun still broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, causing quite a stir in Mofeng City.
The thought that he had offended a Foundation Establishment cultivator made the middle-aged man, who was quite wealthy, feel that his future was bleak and beyond redemption.
"No, I have to distance myself from this matter as soon as possible. Besides those scapegoats from before, I also have to shift all the blame onto Zhao Yunxuan and the others, so that I can at least keep my current position."
The well-off middle-aged man racked his brains, his thoughts flashing like lightning, and quickly came up with this idea, immediately taking action.
"Better to die than to die myself," he thought, and he didn't want to be used as a shield for Zhao Yunxuan and her group.
Once the news is released, Senior Xu should focus most of his attention on Zhao Yunxuan and the others, even if it's just to relieve some of the pressure on me.
Soon, the portly middle-aged man disappeared from the spot and began to take charge of the preparations.
Meanwhile, inside a cave.
Xu Yunduan sat on the futon, playing with the various apologies that the members of the Ziyu Zhao family had just presented, a look of amusement on his face.
"These bullies who relied on their power have finally met their match."
Wen Lingyu sat to the side, covering her mouth and chuckling, her eyes full of joy. "Back then, the Zhao family of Ziyu suppressed us so ruthlessly, but when they saw that you, Brother Xu, had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they immediately changed their tune and came to apologize in a hurry."
Having been one of those who were oppressed back then, she naturally felt it more deeply. Seeing the fawning manner of the Zhao family members of Ziyu at this moment, she felt a sense of peace.
At the same time, she was also genuinely happy for Xu Yun. After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he had already established himself in the cultivation world of Yuan Kingdom and would be treated with great respect by various major forces.
They are no longer as powerless as before, as evidenced by the fact that the members of the Ziyu Zhao family came to visit and apologize.
"Heh, I won't let any of those who suppressed us back then off easily."
Xu Yun pursed his lips slightly. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he already possessed this ability. Even without engaging in combat, the Ziyu Zhao family would give him a satisfactory answer based on his status as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After all, according to Xu Yun's information channels, even those who suppressed them back then, despite having some status, were ultimately just Qi Refining cultivators.
If they could appease the anger of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Ziyu Zhao family would likely be more than willing to cooperate.
Buzz!
Just then, another fluctuation came from outside the cave. Wen Lingyu stepped forward and took it, and saw a sound transmission talisman in her palm.
As Xu Yun broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators and forces of all sizes in Mofeng City wanted to contact him, curry favor with him, and even try to win him over.
For smaller forces, Xu Yun entrusted Wen Lingyu to handle them on his behalf, while for larger forces that could not be ignored, Xu Yun would treat them with utmost seriousness.
At that moment, Wen Lingyu had just received the communication talisman when a solemn expression appeared on her face, and she immediately handed it to Xu Yun.
As a Class B Guardian, she immediately recognized the origin of the communication talisman. "Brother Xu, this is a communication talisman from the Muyun Merchant Guild."
"Oh? They've finally arrived?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yun's face also showed a solemn expression, and he immediately took it.
After all, as a Class C retainer of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is a major event that will surely be taken seriously by the higher-ups.
Thinking of this, Xu Yun channeled his magic power into it to activate it, and soon a familiar yet surprising female voice came out from it.
"It was her..."
""
Xu Yun raised an eyebrow, reached out and took out a token, causing a passage to appear in the array outside.
Then, led by Wen Lingyu, whose expression was slightly strange, two familiar figures came into view.
One of them was Wen Xuanqi, the president of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce branch, and the other was Wen Siyue, who had been taken away by the elders of the Ruohe Wen family and had not been seen for a long time.
Time seemed to have left no trace on her face; on the contrary, she appeared even more ethereal and stunning, radiant and captivating.
"So it's Miss Wen. Please forgive my humble abode for being so uncouth in person, President Xuanqi."
Upon seeing the two, Xu Yun smiled slightly, stood up, and bowed respectfully, showing no particular emotion towards Wen Siyue.
Just as he had thought back then, he and the other party were from completely different worlds, so naturally he wouldn't have any complaints or resentment.
Besides, he saved her and received the reward he deserved, so they were even.
"Fellow Daoist Xu... it's been a long time."
Wen Siyue also curtsied, a complex emotion subtly revealed on her beautiful face. Even though she knew beforehand, she was still somewhat shaken when she saw that familiar figure again.
Back then, she called him Young Master Xu, and he called her Fairy Siyue. They had a harmonious and peaceful relationship.
However, nowadays, Xu Yun addresses her as Miss Wen, just as he did when they first met. He seems respectful, but his attitude is actually somewhat distant. In fact, Wen Siyue thinks that he had treated her this way since she left Mofeng City.
Back then, she thought that Xu Yun knew how to assess the situation and didn't cause her any trouble, which was one of the few good qualities he had. But now, it seemed that she had been quite ignorant. This left Wen Siyue with mixed feelings and increasingly complicated emotions.
"Haha, congratulations Fellow Daoist Xu on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage! You have made great progress on your path to cultivation. We, on behalf of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, would like to present you with a congratulatory gift. Please accept it."
Wen Xuanqi, who was standing to the side, noticed that his young lady seemed to be in a bad mood. He immediately laughed and took out the congratulatory gift that he had prepared in advance.
Xu Yun's divine sense was now incredibly powerful. He immediately scanned the gifts and saw that they contained rare and precious natural treasures, elixirs, and other rare and precious medicines.
There was even a second-tier pill among them that could enhance the mana of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
O
