Chapter 236

No, you got it wrong; I'm not buying materials for a formation at the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan's guild, I bought a formation—a Small Five Elements Sword Formation. I don't know if you've heard of it, but I will set it up at the Wang Family, hoping you won't disappoint me.

Wang Ping'an coldly laughed.

He wasn't worried; exposing to Hu Meiniang's face that he was preparing to set up the Small Five Elements Sword Formation at the Wang Family would let Hu Meiniang make preparations in advance. It wasn't that he had confidence in himself, believing that the Small Five Elements Sword Formation set up at the Wang Family...

It will definitely be able to deal with Hu Meiniang; even if Hu Meiniang had made preparations in advance, it wouldn't matter.

But he knew that even if he didn't say it, if Hu Meiniang wanted to know, she would still find out; even if he didn't say it and Hu Rui didn't say it, Hu Meiniang had other channels.

Don't think that just because only Hu Rui received him earlier; if the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan's guild were investigated carefully, one could still find out from clues.

What did he buy at the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan's guild!

Small Five Elements Sword Formation?

Hu Meiniang glanced at Wang Ping'an in surprise; she hadn't expected Wang Ping'an to not hide it, directly saying the formation he would set up at the Wang Family, and she hadn't expected that Wang Ping'an was setting up the Small Five Elements Sword Formation.

She had cultivated for many years; although she wasn't skilled in setting up formations, she still had a rough understanding of formations.

She had also heard of the great name of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation and the Five Elements Sword Formation.

Not only because of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation's powerful position, but also because of the stringent requirements for setting up the Small Five Elements Sword Formation.

From Wang Ping'an's tone in the voice transmission, Hu Meiniang could sense his arrogance, as if he deemed it beneath him to deceive her, but this matter was rather outrageous, so she instinctively looked toward Hu Rui.

She awaited Hu Rui's answer!

Hu Rui nodded.

If possible.

It would not leak information about Wang Ping'an, even if its own aunt wanted to know; but from Hu Meiniang's words, it knew that Hu Meiniang would find out that Wang Ping'an had bought the Small Five Elements Sword Formation.

It was Wang Ping'an himself who said it!

Even Wang Ping'an himself didn't care about this matter, so it naturally had no need to conceal it for Wang Ping'an.

Hu Jianbo enthusiastically said, "Fellow Daoist Li, the Small Five Elements Sword Formation is no ordinary sword formation; although it's merely a high-level formation, if set up well its power is not inferior to that of an elementary spirit formation, but given the extremely stringent requirements for setting up the formation, are you sure you can really set it up well?"

I still have this confidence!

A voice whose gender couldn't be discerned echoed in his mind; Hu Jianbo was first startled, then realized it was Wang Ping'an sending him a voice transmission.

However.

His shock still hadn't faded; given his current cultivation, strong Spirit Power could shield many things, making it very difficult for an ordinary cultivator to send a voice transmission to him.

Wang Ping'an actually being able to send him a voice transmission meant that either Wang Ping'an's cultivation was higher than his, or his Spirit Power was stronger, or he had mastered the voice transmission technique to a profound level, in order to accomplish this.

Hu Jianbo came to his senses from the shock, just about to speak, when he saw Wang Ping'an already rise, his receding back gradually disappearing from his sight; the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.

Hu Jianbo turned his head, looking at his sister beside him with her beautiful eyes flashing, and frowned, saying, "Meiniang, what exactly is the grudge between you and that fellow Daoist?"

I and he have no grudge!

Hu Meiniang smiled; it wasn't that she feared exposing the situation of that child from the Wang Family would harm the child—her brother, though a monster, was after all the chieftain of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, differing from ordinary monsters in conduct.

What she spoke of was making connections!

If Hu Jianbo knew Wang Ping'an's situation—perhaps he possessed some kind of sacred body or an excellent spiritual root—he would recommend Wang Ping'an to meet or to befriend strong individuals he wished to connect with, so that they would owe him a favor.

Of course.

Given Hu Jianbo's character, he would also not shortchange her benefits.

However, the benefits Hu Jianbo gives could not compare to her own relationship with powerful individuals.

Meiniang...

Hu Jianbo still wanted to say something, but Hu Meiniang cut him off first: "Big brother, instead of asking me, you might as well ask Xiao San'er how she came to know that fellow Daoist!"

Seeing Hu Meiniang like that, Hu Jianbo knew she didn't want to speak, his brows slightly furrowed, he said nothing more and turned his head to look at Hu Rui.

Hu Rui said, "Father, this isn't the place to talk; why don't we go inside?"

"Xiao San'er, what do you mean? It seems you don't want Aunt to know?"

Hu Meiniang said discontentedly.

Hu Rui paid no heed; although from the conversation between Hu Meiniang and Wang Ping'an it could only hear Hu Meiniang's muttering to herself, it could still infer.

There must be some grudge between them!

It naturally didn't really believe it, to reveal Wang Ping'an's news to Hu Meiniang.

Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan guild, top floor, Hu Rui's office.

This novel you have reached

"Xiao San'er, can you speak now? Or do you mean you'll only speak if your aunt I come out?"

Hu Meiniang said sarcastically.

Hu Rui ignored Hu Meiniang's sarcasm, didn't even respond; if possible, it would naturally want Hu Meiniang to leave, but it knew that was impossible, so it spoke bluntly:

"Father, it's like this..."

Afterward.

Hu Rui, from beginning to end, recounted the matter concerning Wang Ping'an, from Niuda running to the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan's guild to find it, saying there was a major secret.

The leak began to be narrated!

After a long while, Hu Jianbo finished listening to Hu Rui's account, gave her a strange look, and said, "You mean this source of wealth of yours is you grabbing it from your Uncle Hu Jiushisan?"

"What do you mean by snatching? This is what Xiao San'er obtained through her own ability. If you ask me, it's also that Hu Jiushisan is courting death—this business, could he really control it? It's just that he ran into Xiao San'er; if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't even know how he died!"

Hu Meiniang gave a cold snort, not minding that Hu Rui's business was taken from her own family.

Although.

Hu Jiushisan is Hu Rui's elder, but merely a cousin from a side branch; it's just that his generation is higher than Hu Rui's.

"Rui'er, no matter how you say it, this business is you taking from your elder; spreading it around wouldn't sound good, and maybe Hu Jiushisan bears a grudge against you—you should think about how to make him forgive you, giving him some compensation wouldn't hurt."

Hu Jianbo offered a piece of advice, then didn't continue the topic; he knew his daughter had always been opinionated, so he changed the subject:

"Meiniang, what Rui'er knows should have all been said; now it's your turn to speak..."

「Big brother, I suddenly remembered, I have something to do, I'll leave first, and after a while I'll come back to see you and the ancestors! 」

Before Hu Jianbo could finish speaking, Hu Meiniang interrupted, speaking first.

「Meiniang! 」

Hu Jianbo let out a cold shout, seeing that Hu Meiniang seemed not to have heard his words, as he rose to leave, a demonic aura surged from his body, like one serpentine dragon after another, instantly enveloping Hu Meiniang.
