Chapter 1665: Make Life Difficult for Him

Powerful and unparalleled, grandmother, explain!

These three phrases caused everyone to fall silent. He Nongying’s words were gentle like a breeze, without a single ounce of anger. Her expression was calm as well. Still, many people could hear the rage in her words.

Dao Leng did not show any regard to her so she was giving him equal treatment. An eye for an eye. She was not going to show any regard for Dao Leng as well. He could search if he wanted to, but she would then cease to be a friend of the Dao Clan. She would even go back and complain to her grandmother about this.

It was widely known that the Qilin Empress loved and doted on He Nongying. Otherwise, He Nongying would not have been so highly sought-after by many men as well. The Qilin Empress never married and did not have her own descendants. She only adopted one son for herself, He Nongying’s father.

This son later had many sons and daughters, and He Nongying was the youngest among them. From a young age, she was intelligent, adorable, and beautiful. She was also multi-talented. The Qilin Empress did not show an ounce of affection towards He Nongying’s older siblings, but she took an immediate liking towards He Nongying. From a young age, the Qilin Empress brought He Nongying everywhere to play. She even gave her all the Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasures and the bow that she was using now.

Offending He Nongying would be akin to offending the Qilin Empress. If the Qilin Empress decides to pursue the matter, how would the Dao Clan answer to her? Would Dao Leng personally go and submit to her punishment in order to earn her forgiveness?

Of course, the reason this was all happening was that Dao Leng suspected He Da was hiding in He Nongying’s spatial divine item, and there was a serious problem with this He Da. If he could convince the Qilin Empress of this, she would have nothing to blame him for.

Dao Leng was quite sure of this!

He grinned and said, “I heard that Young Mistress He has a Saint Lady Hall? It was given to you by the Qilin Empress, wasn’t it? Can you let me take a look?”

“Uh…”

Auntie Shuang’s expression changed at once as she turned to look at He Nongying. Jiang Yi was indeed in the Saint Lady Hall. If she took it out and allowed Dao Leng to inspect it, wouldn’t they both be exposed? Dao Leng and Jiang Yi had met and fought with each other before; he was familiar with Jiang Yi’s soul spirit aura!

“Keke!”

He Nongying’s expression remained devoid of anger as she smiled subtly and said, “Cold Thearch, are you sure you want to do this? You’re making it very difficult for me to want to return to the Azure Region in the future.”

“Uncle Leng…”

Dao Ren was getting anxious. If Dao Leng really offended He Nongying, he would lose his chances of impressing her and winning her over. What’s more, the He Clan would be pitted against the Dao Clan. If someone else other than Dao Leng were causing this to happen, Dao Ren would have scolded him by now.

Still, Dao Leng clung onto his own guesses. In a cool tone, he said, “Young Mistress He, don’t worry. If I have misunderstood you, I will personally go and beg for the Qilin Empress’ forgiveness.”

“Alright!”

He Nongying’s ring lit up, and she retrieved a white palace from it. Very gently, she waved her hand and said, “The Cold Thearch’s capabilities are earth-shaking, and your soul spirit is immensely powerful. I won’t have to undo the soul imprint, do I? Cold Thearch, search all you want.”

The Cold Thearch grabbed the beautiful, white hall and sent his powerful divine senses in to search the hall again and again. Everyone remained deathly silent; they were all beyond nervous. If the Cold Thearch found Jiang Yi inside, they would all be fine.

“My Lady…”

Auntie Shuang did not think that He Nongying would really hand the Saint Lady Hall over to Dao Leng. She nervously sent a voice transmission to He Nongying, but the latter completely ignored her. All He Nongying did was stare at Dao Leng in silence.

Again and again!

Dao Leng’s expression began to look a bit strange. He searched the hall for a full five minutes before he tossed the white hall back to He Nongying. There was silence for a few seconds. Suddenly, his expression became determined as he said, “Young Mistress He, can I check your interspatial ring and He Shuang’s interspatial ring?”

“Dao Leng!”

Auntie Shuang was completely enraged now. A soft whip appeared in her hands as she roared, “You’re too much. I may not be as powerful as you, but if I give it my all, I can still make your ten thousand soldiers perish here.”

“Auntie Shuang, be dismissed!”

He Nongying shouted, her expression hardening. She quickly chastised Auntie Shuang, saying, “How can you speak to the Cold Thearch in this manner? What is his status? He naturally has a reason behind everything that he does. Even if he is being unreasonable, so what? He will search if he wants to. Even if he wants to search our bodies, we cannot resist. He is the Cold Thearch after all!”

“…”

He Nongying seemed to be chastising Auntie Shuang, but the Dao Clan’s ten thousand people immediately flushed. He Nongying was too good with her words. Although she did not say a single bad word about the Cold Thearch, the underlying meaning in her words was clear: Dao Leng was being outrageous!

Dao Leng’s face became a mixture of green and white. He Nongying removed the interspatial ring from her hand and tossed it over to Dao Leng. After Auntie Shuang was chastised, she also did not dare to resist anymore. She grudgingly took her own ring off her hand and tossed it over to Dao Leng without another word.

Now, it was Dao Leng’s turn to feel embarrassed. The Dao Clan’s soldiers had not seen He Da along the way. Since all the cities along the way had already been locked down, He Da could not have been hiding in there. That was why Dao Leng was so sure that he was hiding in He Nongying’s spatial divine item. That was also why he was so determined to search it. Unexpectedly, however, Jiang Yi was not in the Saint Lady Hall. Now, He Nongying was even tossing her interspatial ring to Dao Leng so willingly.

Since things had already deteriorated to this stage, Dao Leng could not possibly give up the search. He activated his divine senses and looked around the rings again and again. Forcefully, he retrieved a spatial divine item from Auntie Shuang’s interspatial ring.

In the end…

He did not find a single clue!

His expression was dark as he tossed the two rings back to He Nongying and He Shuang. He Nongying calmly asked, “Cold Thearch, do you want to search our bodies, too?”

“That won’t be necessary!”

Dao Leng replied expressionlessly, “Young Mistress He, I have offended you today. I will personally go to the Qilin Empress and ask for her forgiveness soon.”

He Nongying smiled mockingly and said, “Then, I will wait for the Cold Thearch to arrive. I trust that someone of the Cold Thearch’s status will not go back on his word. If… in the end, the Cold Thearch fails to come; I will ask my grandmother to personally pay you a visit!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The faces of Dao Leng and many other people in the Dao Clan drained of all colors. He Nongying looked weak and gentle, but she had a strong and aggressive heart. Even though she faced a Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artist, she did not feel a single ounce of fear or intimidation. This showed wonders about her character and strength. Even Dao Ren and the others were inspired.

“Let’s go!”

Dao Leng waved his hand and led his men away, not even bothering to exchange any more pleasantries. He had completely embarrassed himself today, and he had to wait for the Qilin Empress to shame him even further. The Qilin Empress loved and doted on He Nongying so much. If Dao Leng went to the Qilin Empress Peak himself, he would probably be slapped at the very least.

“Young Mistress Nongying, I apologize!”

Dao Ren was put in a spot. He wanted to say something polite to salvage the situation, but cupped his hands at last and followed closely behind Do Leng. He Nongying did not say anything else after that. Instead, she remained expressionless. Auntie Shuang was in awe just looking at her performance.

“Young Mistress!”

A while after the crowd left, Auntie Shuang sent a voice transmission to He Nongying in shock. “Jiang Yi entered the Saint Lady Hall; why couldn’t Dao Leng find him?”

“Hur-Hur!”

He Nongying tutted and said, “The Saint Lady Hall was personally refined by my grandmother to save my life. There are extremely powerful restrictions inside. Dao Leng aside, even Dao Nu would not be able to find Jiang Yi! Dao Leng was just making his own life difficult. When he comes to Qilin Empress Peak, I will make life difficult for him…”

Ss, ss…

Auntie Shuang sucked in two long, deep breaths as a chill ran down her spine. She had followed He Nongying from a young age, and she understood He Nongying’s temper very well. This young mistress ordinarily resembled a beautiful, unassuming fairy. However, anyone who angered her would suffer… dire consequences.
