Talk?
Yutian Jingya didn't think there was anything to talk about. Her goal was clear from the start. Revenge was secondary. Her main goal was to get a share of the wealth from the Imperial Treasury.
It didn't matter even if Spiritual Mountain took the lion's share. She didn't want to fight with Spiritual Mountain. Spiritual Mountain ate the meat while she drank the soup. It was enough for her to not have to worry about money for the rest of her life.
However, Yutian Jingya was too curious about Su Chen's background.
If she didn't figure out his identity, there would be a lot of variables in the future.
There were still a few days before Spiritual Mountain came to take over the Overflowing Sky Realm. If she couldn't convince Su Chen, she would lose her share of the wealth.
No matter what, she had to talk about it first.
… …
On the third floor of the Overflowing Sky Pagoda.
A banquet had been prepared in a secluded courtyard near a mountain and a river.
Third Aunt warmly invited Su Chen and Mengdie to take a seat.
"Mother, you've prepared so much good food."
Heaven Riding Peak rubbed his hands and was about to take a seat when Yutian Jingya slapped him away.
"Go eat in the kitchen. I have something to discuss with your cousin and brother-in-law. There's no place for you."
Seeing this good-for-nothing thing, Royal Sky Quiet Elegance was filled with anger.
Heaven Riding Peak didn't get angry. He chuckled, picked up a pot of wine on the table, and slipped away.
Mengdie was also confused.
Just a second ago, they were fighting to the death. How did it turn into a warm family dinner in the blink of an eye?
What did this stinky brother do to Third Aunt to make her attitude change like this?
However, Mengdie couldn't ask right now.
She could only pretend to be calm and eat quietly, leaving all the talking rights to Su Chen.
After three rounds of wine.
"Third Aunt, where do you plan to go after getting the wealth from the Imperial Treasury?" Su Chen suddenly asked.
He didn't ask her how she planned, but where she would go after getting what she wanted.
Third Aunt was stunned for a moment before she laughed.
"Nephew, you really know how to joke. Since I've inherited the Imperial Clan's name, I'm a member of the Imperial Clan. Even if I die, I'll still be a ghost of the Imperial Clan. As long as the Imperial Clan exists, I won't betray it."
"Haha, Third Aunt is indeed loyal to the Yutian Clan. Under your influence, Cousin Xiao Feng must be filled with a sense of belonging to the Yutian Clan. I really hope to see Cousin Xiao Feng lead the Yutian Clan to glory in the future."
"That's not right. Feng is only the temporary head of the clan, and he has the Boundless Sky Seal. He's just a figurehead. Even if Spiritual Mountain takes over the Imperial Clan in the future, they'll definitely return the Boundless Sky Seal to the direct bloodline of the Imperial Clan. Looking at the current situation, other than Xiaodie, no one is more suitable to be the new head of the clan."
Su Chen chuckled and said, "If I remember correctly, the Heaven-encompassing Seal does require the direct bloodline of the Heavenly Clan to activate. If Spiritual Mountain gave the seal to Little Butterfly, then wouldn't your plan to get a share of the loot from the Heavenly Treasury go to waste? After all, Little Butterfly and I won't give you a single cent of the loot."
These words were a little too direct.
Mengdie also raised her head to look at Yutian Jingya. Her attitude was very firm. She was definitely on the same side as Su Chen.
Yutian Jingya sneered inwardly. Threatening me?
"That's right, I can't use the Boundless Sky Seal, but Xiaodie isn't the only direct bloodline of the Imperial Clan … I won't hide it from you. The envoy of Spiritual Mountain in charge of the Boundless Sky Realm is called Zhong Li. I've been working with him for a long time, and the Boundless Sky Seal is in his hands. Once he comes to the Boundless Sky Realm, I'll be in charge of it. It doesn't matter if you're willing or not, I can bribe the other direct descendants to open the treasury for me."
Su Chen suddenly burst into laughter.
"So the Boundless Sky Seal is in Zhong Li's hands. Thank you for the information, Third Aunt."
"So what if you know? Zhong Li may not be as strong as Ye Changshu, but he's the nephew of the Divine King Ye Guihong. Plus, he's in Spiritual Mountain. Do you dare to go there and steal the Boundless Sky Seal?
Speaking of which, I'm quite curious. How did you make Ye Changshu leave? "
"There are many things that Third Aunt doesn't know."
Su Chen smiled mysteriously, then took Mengdie's hand and left.
Mengdie didn't know what Su Chen was planning, but Su Chen was her pillar of support. No matter what Su Chen wanted to do, she would support him unconditionally.
Yutian Jingya's brows furrowed as she watched the two leave.
Something was wrong.
Something was very wrong.
Su Chen was definitely up to something. Did he really want to go to Spiritual Mountain and take back the Boundless Sky Seal?
She should've laughed at this because no one could do it, but when she thought of the strange things that happened in the valley, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
What if … what if Su Chen really was related to the Revered One of the World, Yu Tianheng? Then it might not be impossible for him to go to Spiritual Mountain and take back the Boundless Sky Seal.
Although the possibility was very low, Yutian Jingya didn't dare take the risk.
Not only was she worried about the Boundless Sky Seal falling into their hands, but she was also worried that Su Chen would interfere with her plans. What if he reached an agreement with Spiritual Mountain and left her behind?
Then the fat duck in her hands would fly away.
"No, I have to follow them secretly. If they really want to go to Spiritual Mountain, I have to meet Zhong Li in advance. I can't lose the initiative."
As for killing Su Chen and Gu Qingting, it wasn't that Yutian Jingya hadn't considered it before. However, her cultivation had dropped greatly, and Gu Qingting was dead. She didn't know much about Su Chen's background. If she acted rashly, it would be difficult to win.
Outside the Boundless Sky Pagoda.
"Are we really going to Spiritual Mountain?"
Su Chen grinned. "It's not us, it's just me."
"No, it's too dangerous!"
Meng Die hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "Spiritual Mountain isn't like other places. The peak experts of Spiritual Mountain are all gathered there. Lady Providence is unrivalled, and her might is unparalleled within Spiritual Mountain. If you make the slightest mistake, you'll … you'll …."
Meng Die didn't dare think any further.
Su Chen smiled and rubbed his face against Meng Die's cheek, then gently whispered into her ear, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Even if we really encounter danger, if I want to escape, no one can stop me."
"But …. It's still too risky. How about we just forget about it and go back? We don't want the Imperial Treasury. If they want to fight over it, then let them have it."
"Little fool, that's the inheritance your father left you. Even if you don't want it, you can't just hand it over to someone else."
Su Chen didn't say anything more. He turned and left.
"Stinky little brother, no matter how important the Imperial Treasury is, it's not even a ten-thousandth of you in my heart."
Su Chen's lips curved into a smile, then he waved his hand and walked away.
Half a day later, Su Chen appeared outside the Boundless Sky Realm.
"Spiritual Mountain …. I'm here!"
