My wife is a reborn big boss

Chapter 166 Your backer is in cahoots with me, what are you going to do about it?

After the two left, Wu Qiong curled his lip: You Taoist priest, you still want to fool me?

Even if we go abroad, that's a matter for the future. We haven't even finished dealing with the affairs of the Great Zhou yet. What's the point of going abroad? Changing maps isn't done in this way.

The next day, not too early.

After getting up and washing up, Wu Qiong went to the reception hall with Ye Qingxuan, who was abstaining from sex. When he left yesterday, Master Zhao said that he would introduce some important people to them today.

"Master Zhao, the person you introduced wouldn't happen to be a master from the Cloud Soaring Sect, would it?" Wu Qiong asked with suspicion.

Normally, he would have hoped the other person was from the Cloud Soaring Sect, so he could have a good time showing off and slapping them in the face.

Unfortunately, he can't afford to offend the Cloud Soaring Sect right now, mainly because of Ximen Ji. If he were to incur the wrath of the Cloud Soaring Sect, there would be no point in asking about Ximen Ji's situation.

"It's the Cloud Soaring Sect," Master Zhao said with a smile. Seeing that Wu Qiong and the other two didn't show any expression, he quickly explained, "Young Master Wu, please don't misunderstand. I used to be a disciple of the Cloud Soaring Sect, so the Climbing Serpent Manor is also considered a property of the Cloud Soaring Sect. They routinely inspect their properties every month, and this time it was just a coincidence."

He was also afraid that Wu Qiong was young and impulsive, and would kill him first regardless of what Yunxiao Sect was thinking.

"It's alright, if that's the case, then let's just wait and see." Wu Qiong neither agreed nor disagreed with his explanation.

After Wu Qiong and his companions exchanged awkward words for a while, a disciple from the Climbing Serpent Manor ran in to report: "Master, the people from the Cloud Soaring Sect have arrived!"

"Who goes there?" Master Zhao asked.

"Three people have arrived. The one leading them is a stranger; he looks quite young," the disciple reported.

"Oh?" Master Zhao raised an eyebrow and said to Wu Qiong, "Young Master Wu, I must go out to greet my fellow disciples. May I ask how many there are?"

Wu Qiong smiled and stood up: "Let's go together. I have always admired the Yunxiao Sect, but I have never had the chance to meet them. If I can meet the masters of the Yunxiao Sect today, this trip will not be in vain."

please."

"please."

As they approached the gate, three members of the Cloud Soaring Sect drew near.

The leader was a young man who looked quite handsome. His skill had reached the "unity of heaven and man" level, so he should be one of the most outstanding disciples of the Yunxiao Sect in this generation.

Master Zhao, accompanied by his daughter, went to greet them and asked solicitously, "And you are?"

"This is an elder of our Cloud Soaring Sect. He has been in seclusion for some time, so you don't recognize him," the man on the left said coldly.

His tone was arrogant, as if he were looking down on Master Zhao.

Master Zhao remained unperturbed, still smiling amiably: "I see. May I ask how to address the elder?"

"Extremely," the young man said coldly.

"So it's Elder Ji. Xing'er, why don't you greet Elder Ji?" Master Zhao winked at his daughter.

If he could befriend this young elder, his status would rise accordingly, making his lucrative job of exploiting the local people even easier!

"This humble woman, Zhao Chenxing, greets Elder Ji~" Zhao Chenxing's tone was sweet and cloying. She even bowed slightly, revealing a glimpse of her white breasts to Elder Ji.

However, the Elder didn't even glance at her, but instead said to Master Zhao, "I heard someone is causing trouble here, saying they don't take my Cloud Soaring Sect seriously. Where are they?"

Master Zhao's expression changed. "You're being too direct! What if you upset Wu Qiong and a fight breaks out at Panshe Manor?"

Ignoring the cold sweat beading on his forehead, he laughed and said, "No, no, it's all a misunderstanding."

Then he turned to Wu Qiong: "Young Master Wu, let me introduce you. This is..."

"No need." Wu Qiong looked at Elder Ji with a strange expression, sizing him up for a long time, and said sarcastically, "Who do we have here? Isn't this the Ximen official who abandoned his wife and children? He looks quite respectable dressed up like this."

Master Zhao was shocked; Wu Qiong was indeed here to cause trouble!

He hurriedly turned around, intending to distance himself from Wu Qiong and the other two, but saw Elder Ji give a bitter smile and say, "Brother Wu, it's been a long time."

Master Zhao stood there, stunned. What was going on?

Wu Qiong and his two companions walked forward with smiles on their faces. As they passed by Master Zhao, Wu Qiong glanced at him sideways.

"I have connections all over the world, and you think you can trip me up? Well, I'll just say 'heh heh' to you."

"Not bad, Brother Ximen." Wu Qiong punched him on the shoulder and laughed, "I didn't realize you looked so decent in clothes."

He was very unhappy. Your daughter was all alone in that little restaurant, living in fear, while you, on the other hand, ran home to enjoy your retirement.

"How dare you!" The two disciples beside Ximen Ji turned pale with anger and shouted, "Watch who you're talking to!"

"What, threatening me? Do you think I graduated from Xiamen University?" Wu Qiong pointed to his forehead: "Draw your sword and slash here. If I fight back, I'll be your father."

"You!" The two disciples blushed and drew their swords. This was the first time in their lives that someone had dared to speak to them like that.

"Brother Wu, you are a master of the Innate Realm, why bother arguing with them?" Ximen Ji stopped the two disciples and said with a wry smile, "What have I done to offend you? Why are you being so sarcastic?"

The two disciples silently sheathed their swords. They weren't doing it out of respect for Ximen Ji; they were simply too cowardly.

This guy is a master of innate skill! Anyone would be scared in his place!

"I just feel sorry for Ah Xiu." Wu Qiong curled his lip: "Your wife has disappeared without a trace in Miao territory, and your daughter is all alone in a small restaurant, living in fear. And you, on the other hand, ran back to Yunxiao Sect to become some kind of bullshit elder. You are a real disgrace."

"There are reasons for all this, please allow me to explain to you later," Ximen Ji said sincerely, then glanced at the two disciples beside him.

The two disciples kept their eyes down, their noses down, their mouths down, and their mouths down, indicating that they were just a tree growing in the middle of the road and hadn't heard anything.

"Then what will you do?" Wu Qiong asked, puzzled.

"I'm here to deal with the Panshe Manor." Ximen Ji glanced at Master Zhao and his daughter, his gaze icy. "They use the name of the Yunxiao Sect to prey on the villagers, and they even deceive innocent young men into becoming their live-in sons-in-law, squeezing them dry before discarding them. I'm here on my elder brother's orders to handle this matter."

He slapped his forehead and laughed, "Oh right, that old Zhao was badmouthing you inside the sect. The other night, the elders were drinking and coughing, and Elder Sun got drunk during dinner and told me about it as a funny story. That's how I found out. I'm here to help you get revenge, Brother Wu."

Brother Wu, please! Don't tell Ah Xiu about my drinking and womanizing!

Wu Qiong gave him a knowing look and asked, "So, this Miss Zhao has more than one ex-husband, Lu Wei?"

"I'm innocent!" Master Zhao pulled his daughter down to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face. "I beg the elders and young master to see the truth! My daughter's previous husbands were all divorced. I truly did not harm them!"

They only care about making money, not taking lives; there's nothing wrong with that.

"As for the matter concerning Young Master Wu, I only spoke carelessly in the moment. Since no great disaster has occurred, I beg Young Master Wu to show mercy and spare the lives of my daughter and me!"

He never expected that his backer would actually be in cahoots with Wu Qiong! He had practically walked into the lion's den!

"Still dare to argue!" Simon said coldly, "Your daughter's confidante... you know..."

He turned to his disciple, who was disguised as a tree, and asked in a low voice, "What's that woman's name?"

"Uh, I forgot too. I only remember her name was something like Hui." The disciple blinked and stammered as he replied.

Ximen nodded, then turned and continued coldly, "That Hui has confessed! What else do you have to say?"
