The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 495 The Choice of the Qingfeng Gang
Wu Mingxu and Fang Lan were also dumbfounded. Their momentum faltered, as they hadn't expected things to develop in this way.

Wu Mingxu's face flushed with embarrassment, but with so many people watching, he still didn't want to admit his mistake.

"Hmph, who knows how those rumors from the outside world got out?"

"Maybe you're just spreading rumors on purpose to confuse the public and curry favor with Chief Song!"

The more he talked, the more he felt that his guess was accurate, after all, the fact that she was from Ghost King Valley alone could greatly enhance her status.

I wonder how many people are envious of Ghost King Valley!

Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Song Wanning, because Wu Mingxu's words were not entirely impossible.

For now, they can only remain silent to avoid foolishly dragging themselves into the mess.

To everyone's surprise, Song Wanning remained calm upon hearing this and instead started settling accounts with Wu Mingxu.

"You can ask the shopkeeper for a bill on how many pills I've refined in the past two months."

"Do you think I have time to spread rumors?"

"Ghost King Valley is indeed powerful, but its moral character and conduct are uneven... It's a real pity."

Her alchemy efficiency is unmatched by ordinary people.

This is Song Wanning's confidence as a master alchemist; even in a different place, she would be no worse than anyone else!
"this--"

The shopkeeper glanced at Song Wanning, then at Chief Song, and took out the bill, handing it to Wu Mingxu.

Wu Mingxu accepted the bill without a second thought, but as he flipped through it, his expression changed completely.

Because Song Wanning's alchemy output was truly astonishing; even he couldn't achieve that.

Moreover, the quality of the pills is all top-grade. If everything is true, then this person is a very formidable opponent.

Wu Mingxu's face paled, and he hesitated and felt embarrassed for a moment.

He now knows he was wrong, but he feels ashamed to apologize.

Seeing this, Fang Lan also took the bill, a hint of ambiguity flashing in her eyes.

"Senior Brother Wu, it seems we made a mistake. We should apologize to her."

She took the initiative to say, "I'm sure that as long as you sincerely apologize, this fellow Daoist won't hold a grudge."

These words were full of advice, but they provoked Wu Mingxu.

"You want me to apologize? No way!"

He immediately exploded, angrily saying, "She may have some skills, but that doesn't prove anything. Why should I apologize?"

"And for her to be accepted as a disciple of Ghost King Valley is an honor for her!!!"

Wu Mingxu threw the bill back and said to Chief Song, "Chief Song, will you choose her or our Ghost King Valley?"

"If you choose to cooperate with her, then don't expect Ghost King Valley to give you any more pills in the future!!!"

He directly threatened Chief Song, completely disregarding whose territory this was.

After all, Ghost King Valley was his source of strength, so no matter how dissatisfied these people were, they could only keep quiet!

These words immediately filled the reception room with a tense atmosphere, ready to explode at any moment.

Song Wanning gave Fang Lan a meaningful look, seeing right through her little scheme.

It should be said that most people present could see it clearly, except for Wu Mingxu, that big dummy, who was being used without even realizing it.

"Young friend Wu, what do you mean by this?"

Chief Song had always wanted to bring Song Wanning under his command, but now Wu Mingxu was making such unreasonable demands, which was simply too much.

Wu Mingxu just couldn't stand seeing Song Wanning be happy, especially her arrogant and haughty demeanor, which was extremely irritating.

"What I mean is Ghost King Valley's intention: if you don't cooperate with her, Ghost King Valley can give you an extra 10% of the pills each year; but if you choose to cooperate, then don't even think about selling a single pill in Ghost King Valley anymore!!!"

Ghost King Valley is very protective of its own. As long as I go back and tell them about this, Qingfeng Gang will be immediately excluded.

Now, it remains to be seen what choice the Qingfeng Gang will make!
After saying that, he plopped down and began to wait for the answer.

The atmosphere in the reception room remained somber. They didn't want to miss out on someone as talented as Song Wanning.

But they couldn't afford to offend Ghost King Valley, since Song Wanning's potential was limited, while Ghost King Valley was a different story...

They seem to have no choice at all.

Chief Song's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he cursed Wu Mingxu, that ungrateful bastard, over and over again in his heart.

In the end, he could only put on a regretful expression.

"Young friend Song, I'm sorry, this matter was our Qingfeng Gang's fault."

"How about this, we'll compensate you with some herbs..."

He was willing to offer compensation because of the two months of cooperation.

"No need."

Song Wanning twitched the corners of her lips. She had thought that Chief Song had some backbone, but she hadn't expected that a mere alchemist would make him compromise.

We're better off without a partner like that.

Since cooperation was impossible, she didn't want to waste any more time. If she weren't looking for a more powerful elixir formula, she wouldn't have bothered talking to these people.

"Hmph, see? This is reality. So what if you're powerful?"

"They are nothing in front of our Ghost King Valley."

Wu Mingxu was extremely pleased with himself; this woman's talent was truly enviable.

But so what? The other party can never compare to my status.

"He's just a dog from Ghost King Valley, yet he thinks he's the master?"

Song Wanning smiled and used her powerful spiritual energy to directly imprint marks on the two of them.

It's not convenient here, but I hope these two will still be able to smile when we meet again.

"ridiculous."

After saying that, she turned around and strode away without looking back.

"you--"

Wu Mingxu was shocked that Song Wanning dared to scold him. He pointed at Song Wanning's back and his face turned red with anger.

A ruthless glint flashed in Fang Lan's eyes, but at the same time, it was filled with covetousness.

She suppressed the malice in her heart and looked away.

What was supposed to be a good collaboration has turned into this mess.

The manager of Yuefeng Pavilion was furious, but as a member of the Qingfeng Gang, he couldn't interfere with the gang leader's decisions.

The regret in my heart is something I cannot express.

He always felt that Song Wanning was no ordinary person, and that the gang leader would definitely regret it.

But seeing the gang leader chatting happily with Wu Mingxu, the shopkeeper could only leave dejectedly.

The members of the Wolf Fang Gang were completely ignored from beginning to end.

Wu Yaozu glanced at Wu Mingxu, then at Song Wanning, a hint of conflict flashing in his eyes.

He then hurriedly chased after Song Wanning.

The other followers of the Wolf Fang Gang were very surprised, but they had no choice but to follow.

Before they came out, the gang leader said that all they needed to do was protect Wu Yaozu's safety and they didn't need to get involved in anything else.

……

"My lord, my lord, please wait for me!!"

Wu Yaozu chased after Song Wanning without stopping, and soon caught up with her, panting heavily.
