Free Web NovelChapter 856: Chapter 15: The Young Lady of Sky City
Wei Yunshu is a real talent. In his hands, Fenglan Sect will only grow stronger and more prosperous, absolutely.
"Oh right, Little Bai Yue, tell me about your real daily life—what you like to eat, what you’re into." Wei Yunshu giggled. "I’ll write a few more books, and we’ll split the profits thirty-seventy. You three, me seven."
"Fifty-fifty." Tianmiao raised the price without the slightest hesitation. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Don’t, come on, you’re just talking and I’m the one writing. Later I still have to do promotion, and I’m the one worrying about printing too." Wei Yunshu clutched his heart in pain and negotiated, "Sixty-forty, can’t go lower than that."
"Fine." Tianmiao just liked seeing him in pain; she actually didn’t care about this income. A few months later, when she received that cut, she couldn’t help cursing inwardly—shady businessman! If she’d known, she would’ve insisted on fifty-fifty! frёewebηovel.cѳm
"This time these books are definitely going to sell like crazy. Just think about it: someone actually impersonated the young lady of Sky City, and then even ran into the real young lady. The real young lady didn’t expose her, watched from the shadows, and in the end teamed up with Fenglan Sect’s Sect Master to cleverly stop the impostor’s scheme. The Sect Master was extremely grateful and gave a lavish gift. The young lady also gifted a piece with her handwritten calligraphy." Wei Yunshu’s eyes were shining as he talked, practically about to start waving his arms and dancing.
Tianmiao was speechless.
What else could she even say?
Wei Yunshu personally led Tianmiao to an elegant little courtyard. "You’ll stay here. If anything happens, I’ll come find you."
The courtyard where the three of them were staying was very close to where Wei Yunshu lived. The pavilions and towers showed the craftsman’s skill, and there was a pool with plump red koi swimming back and forth. If someone stood too close, that group of silly koi would all gather over, mouths wide open begging for food.
Three meals a day were delivered to Tianmiao and the others: meat, vegetables, soup, a balanced mix of dishes, light and refreshing in taste, and there was fruit after the meal. A bit later at night, there would even be a late-night snack—various kinds of street food.
The next day, Wei Yunshu ran over to tell Tianmiao what he had found out.
"That fake Bai Yue has been, intentionally or not, asking about the Tree Heart. This person’s got some guts, huh—actually daring to set their sights on my Tree Heart." Wei Yunshu sat beside Tianmiao, also stabbing at fruit with a silver pick and eating as he spoke.
Tree Heart? Of course Tianmiao knew about this thing as well; it counted as the Treasure of the Sect for Fenglan Sect.
On the back mountain behind the main hall of Fenglan Sect, there was a several-thousand-year-old great tree that had condensed a single fruit eight hundred years ago. This fruit absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and the sun and moon; taking it could greatly increase one’s Cultivation and raise the chances of successfully advancing. It was said that Fenglan Sect would draw the juice of the Tree Heart each year for Alchemy, and the resulting Elixirs were five or six times more effective than those made without Tree Heart juice.
Fenglan Sect even assigned people to guard it, twelve hours a day without leaving it unattended for even a moment, with others constantly patrolling around the area.
On the third day, He Ling, unable to wait any longer for the Sect Master of Fenglan Sect, took his leave from Qin Yu, saying he had other matters to attend to.
When Tianmiao heard this news, she naturally felt something was off.
He Ling was the Heaven’s-Favored One of this world—scheming, capable, strong, and lucky. There was no way he had come to Fenglan Sect just because he happened to be traveling nearby and politely wanted to pay a visit to the Sect Master, nothing so simple. Whatever he did, he always had his own goals.
Leaving just like that—what was he trying to do?
After dinner that night, Tianmiao stood by the pool feeding that group of plump koi.
"Master, the Sect Master is here," Kong Hou walked over and said.
"Little Bai Yue, come on, let’s go watch a show." Wei Yunshu was dressed in a set of black close-fitting clothes, spirits high.
(Still sick. The old series is updating normally because I had drafts saved. Drafts are so important. Once I get better, I’ll stockpile drafts for this one too. Love you all.)
