After Favorability Is Maxed

269 Mansion Master, Please Calm Your Anger

Liu Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Such a small Wuyin Cliff was actually stuffed with a Lord Holy Messenger who ‘recognized a thief as her father’, who was a spy that he planted long ago. There was also a Deputy Altar Master arranged by Bi Luo Mansion.

This was really a meeting of spies… Could the other Deputy Altar Master be a spy as well?

However, this actually saved him some trouble…

He had originally planned to hide at the Wuyin Cliff and make further arrangements after things had settled down. One of the most important things was to take control of the Bi Luo Mansion with the ‘kidnapped’ Netherworld and attack the other three palaces of the Jade Mirage Sect in turn to reverse public opinion.

The other three palaces wanted to get the position of the Sect Master of the Jade Mirage Sect, and Liu Yuan also wanted Ling Hua to take charge of the Jade Mirage Sect. This time, the people of the Jade Mirage Sect dared to cooperate with Bi Luo Mansion to frame Ling Hua, which was a huge black material in itself. Coupled with the Jade Mirage Daoist Scripture that Liu Yuan had, as long as they operated properly, it would not be difficult to push Ling Hua up the ranks.

Originally, he still needed to spend some effort to think of a way to make Netherworld appear in front of the people from Bi Luo Mansion naturally. Now, he was just about to take a nap when someone gave him a pillow. The timing could not be more perfect.

Su Lanfeng was still trembling as she knelt on the ground. She shouted a few words of mercy and then realized that the room was completely silent apart from her, even the Holy Messenger was cold and silent. She did not even dare to shout for help and closed her eyes to wait for death.

From his point of view, the Holy Messenger was not even willing to say a word, so naturally, she felt that there was no need to talk nonsense with a dead person. Wasn’t this the standard behavior of the demonic sect?

But why was the Holy Messenger not speaking?

Liu Yuan looked at his daughter from the corner of his eyes. Zhiying was also looking at him. Her small face was expressionless, but her eyes were filled with doubt, as if she was asking – What should I do?

Liu Yuan pretended to have received some instructions from Zhiying. He nodded at her and said, “Yes.”

He then sneered and said, “The Holy Messenger is merciful and only intends to let you be a slave for a month to atone for your sins. I heard that it’s popular in your religion to keep slaves. I believe Deputy Altar Master Su knows what to do?”

Netherworld was so angry that she almost laughed out loud. This despicable bastard did not forget to remind her of her status as a ‘female slave’ even for a single moment. It was very effective in triggering her anger and shame.

Su Lanfeng’s face turned pale. She did not care why the demonic Holy Messenger was sending a voice transmission to the Guardian of Bi Luo Mansion instead of Altar Master Xue Yan. She only thought that Zhu Ren’s status was really high as she said in a trembling voice, “Thank you for not killing me, Holy Messenger! This servant will serve you with all her heart!”

Although that was the case, this month should be worse than death. As for what her fate would be like, it would probably depend on her performance in this month.

Su Lanfeng had only managed to grab onto the last straw of hope in her despair and there was a glimmer of hope in her heart. However, because of this, she actually knelt down and kissed the ground to show her determination.

Liu Yuan could not help but turn to look at Netherworld. The spy sent by Bi Luo Mansion was so respectful to the demonic sect’s Holy Messenger. She wondered if Netherworld felt betrayed.

However, it was obvious that Netherworld would not have such emotions just because of a spy. As a high-ranking official, she was not very familiar with the layout of the spies. Otherwise, she would not have thought of it only after seeing the Deputy Altar Master. Bi Luo Mansion had its own way of controlling such spies.

Liu Yuan saw that she turned a blind eye to it and laughed in his heart. He just did not know if the comparison of the following days, where the subordinate was a slave on the surface and the Mansion Master was a slave behind the scenes. Would it cause some sort of breakdown?

Slaves were of extremely low status. In the demonic sect, whether it was to test medicine, test swords, or to serve on daily tasks, it was very common to play with or even cook them. These slaves were nothing more than human-shaped objects to the people of the demonic sect.

The crimes of the demonic sect were too numerous to be recorded, which could be seen from this.

However, because the Holy Messenger had the appearance of a delicate girl. Su Lanfeng thought that even if she was made a slave, he would only suffer some physical pain at most, and would not be tortured too much.

Su Lanfeng did not think that her obvious act would go undiscovered and thought that the Mansion Master had probably secretly pleaded for her. Just as she was shedding tears of gratitude, she heard Liu Yuan continue, “But Wuyin Cliff is a dangerous place, and the position of Deputy Altar Master is indispensable. Therefore, you are allowed to keep your identity and only need to serve in front of the Messenger. Please dismiss the people outside.”

Why did this ridicule sound like she was being demoted?

Su Lanfeng was stunned for a moment, but she immediately stood up and said ‘yes’ repeatedly. She went out and dismissed all the personal guards she had brought before returning to the house.

When he entered the door, Xue Yan was coming out and leaving in a hurry. His eyes moved away in a flash, as if he did not care about her, the Deputy Altar Master who had just been demoted.

The moment Su Lanfeng entered the house, the door behind her immediately slammed shut.

The purple-robed woman wearing the bronze mask suddenly stood up. Her dark and deep eyes shot out an eerie coldness. Her androgynous voice carried a strong pressure. “You idiot!”

Although she did not use any spiritual power, her voice was enough to shock everyone.

Su Lanfeng’s face turned pale and she knelt down again.

Even Liu Yuan felt pain in his knees for Su Lanfeng, but there was no other way. In order for the next step to be carried out smoothly, they first needed a role that could convey orders. In the past, it was Mei Sheng… Now, these two were digging their own graves, so there was no one else for the time being.

“Mansion Master, please calm down. The plan is more important now,” he advised hypocritically.

Netherworld snorted coldly and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. Then, she slowly sat down.

She had to be slow. The rope had just been tightened, and she almost yelped. All she could do was stand up, but now, she could not bear it.

The word ‘plan’ flashed across Su Lanfeng’s mind. By right, the Bi Luo Mansion should be working with the bunch of Daoist b*stards from the Jade Mirage Sect. However, the Mansion Master had appeared in the demonic sect’s base and was discussing some secret matters with the Holy Messenger.

The outside world would probably not know about this news.

Su Lanfeng thought that if she was not mistaken, then she and that trusted Altar Master Xue Yan who had appeared out of nowhere… Could they have a chance to be involved in this?

Now that the Bi Luo Mansion was going to cooperate with the demonic sect, the Holy Messenger gave her face and did not execute her.

Su Lanfeng felt as if she had already grasped onto a few points, but she was not sure.

Liu Yuan had already finished his sentence. “Now that Ling Hua has already lost the right to compete, and there is internal strife in the Jade Mirage Sect, in my opinion, it is a good time to wipe out the Jade Mirage Sect in one fell swoop. The Mansion Master is far away from the mansion, and it will be inconvenient without Mei Sheng to send a message. I think this Deputy Altar Master can barely be qualified for the messenger position.”

Netherworld was about to refute Liu Yuan’s words, but when she saw Liu Yuan’s warning look, she immediately said in a cold voice, “A pig is only worthy of sending a letter.”

Then, when she saw Liu Yuan’s stunned expression, she immediately realized — She was scolding Mei Sheng as well. Scolding Mei Sheng was the same as scolding herself, right?
