Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 481: Play the Music, Let the Dance Begin!

This was one of those rare moments when Lin Fengmian could see Shangguan Qiong’s gentle, tender side. Seizing the opportunity, he planted a kiss on her cheek.

“Fairy Shangguan, don’t worry. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”

He lightly coughed and turned to Song Yuanqing, saying, “Sect Master Song, I don’t care about who’s right or wrong here. I just want to ask you one thing: Are you willing to return the disciples of the Joyful Union Sect?”

Song Yuanqing forced a dry laugh and replied, “Since Your Highness has given the order, of course I am willing to return them. However…”

Lin Fengmian replied indifferently, “However what? Sect Master Song, feel free to speak your mind.”

Song Yuanqing put on a troubled expression and said, “These women were obtained through the blood and sacrifice of countless disciples of my Heavenly Deception Sect. If I were to simply hand them over, I fear my disciples would be unwilling!”

Lin Fengmian immediately understood the underlying meaning: the people could be returned, but only in exchange for resources.

However, Lin Fengmian had come here specifically to cause trouble. There was no way that he was going to trade resources for them.

“So, Sect Master Song, you’re saying that you won’t give me this face?”

Seeing that Lin Fengmian wasn’t willing to offer anything in return, Song Yuanqing felt a bit uncomfortable, but pretended to be worried.

“I wouldn’t dare, Your Highness. But these women have already been rewarded to my disciples. It’s not easy to take them back now.”

“Not easy, you say? Then forget about it!”

Lin Fengmian gently stroked Shangguan Qiong’s cheek and sighed, “Fairy Shangguan, it seems that I won’t be able to get your people back for you. Let’s just drop the matter.”

Shangguan Qiong was stunned. Was this guy really such a wimp? Did I just let you sleep with me for nothing?

Wait, no. I helped you get into this position, and this is how you repay me?

You Yao couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, although she couldn’t help feeling a bit of disdain for Lin Fengmian.

Elder Ming, on the other hand, had a strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lin Fengmian gave Shangguan Qiong’s butt a light pat, then stood up and wrapped his arm around her, leading her out despite her obvious reluctance.

Song Yuanqing had expected Lin Fengmian to argue a bit more, but he hadn’t anticipated that the man would be so easy to deal with.

Seeing that Lin Fengmian was about to leave, he quickly called out, “Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I’ve prepared a welcome banquet for you.”

Lin Fengmian didn’t even turn his head as he walked away, coldly replying, “No need. Since Sect Master Song is unwilling to release the disciples, I won’t stay any longer.”

“Your Highness Wuxie, it’s not that I’m unwilling. It’s just that I really can’t get them back.”

Song Yuanqing hurried after him, pulling out a storage ring and offering it with an apologetic smile. “I’ll personally compensate Sect Master Shangguan with some spirit stones. I hope Sect Master Shangguan will accept them.”

Shangguan Qiong glanced at the storage ring, her face turning cold. Her delicate fists clenched tightly.

“Spirit Stones? Are my Joyful Union Sect disciples only worth a few spirit stones?”

Song Yuanqing maintained a smile on his face, but inwardly, he was sneering. If it weren’t for Jun Wuxie’s influence, he wouldn’t have offered even a single spirit stone.

“Fine, I’ll accept these on behalf of Sect Master Shangguan!”

Lin Fengmian unceremoniously took the storage ring and pulled the unwilling Shangguan Qiong along as he strode out.

Song Yuanqing hypocritically escorted them all the way, only relaxing when he saw Lin Fengmian board the ship and leave. With a cold smile, he shook his head.

That flirtatious woman Shangguan Yuqiong really thought that Jun Wuxie would stand up for her. Little did she know that some men are heartless after getting what they want.

On the ship, Shangguan Qiong wore a displeased expression, looking like a wronged little wife.

If the timing hadn’t been inappropriate, she would have already cursed out Lin Fengmian.

You bastard! Don’t even think about touching a single hair on my head again!

However, Lin Fengmian leisurely pulled out a black folding fan and lightly tapped it in his hand. When Elder Ming saw this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh no! His Highness is about to cause trouble again!

This was Jun Wuxie’s signature move. Whenever he took out that folding fan, someone was about to suffer.

Seeing Shangguan Qiong’s sulky expression, Lin Fengmian smiled and said, “Beauty, don’t get angry yet! In all matters, one should try diplomacy before resorting to violence. I’ve already done the diplomatic part. Now, it’s time for force!”

He turned his head and coldly ordered, “Elder Ming! Tell the Shadow Guards to assemble immediately. We’re going to blast this Heavenly Deception Sect to pieces!”

Elder Ming had a headache. Of course, this was how it would go down!

Song Yuanqing, why did you provoke him for no reason?

“Your Highness, please reconsider. Attacking a sect without cause is highly inappropriate.”

Lin Fengmian smirked playfully, snapping open his folding fan and gently fanning himself. “Without cause? How can you say there’s no cause? Someone reported that the Heavenly Deception Sect is using living people for soul refinement. I’ve come to investigate. But the Heavenly Deception Sect refused to cooperate with me. In my urgency to save lives, I ordered the Shadow Guards to attack. Isn’t that reasonable?”

You Yao coldly interjected, “And what if no evidence is found afterwards? How will you justify yourself?”

Lin Fengmian looked at her as if she were a fool and laughed. “No evidence? Of course we’ll find evidence! We’ll rescue a large number of mortals from the Heavenly Deception Sect and uncover plenty of remains. We’ll have witnesses as well as physical evidence!”

He closed his fan and pointed it at Elder Ming, smiling as he asked, “Elder Ming, doesn’t that sound reasonable?”

Elder Ming broke out in a cold sweat, feeling the pressure, but he could only nod with a bitter smile. “Reasonable, very reasonable! But Your Highness, could we perhaps rescue fewer people?”

You’re quick to set up the plot, but where am I supposed to find a large number of mortals and remains to frame them on such short notice?

Lin Fengmian tapped Elder Ming’s shoulder with his fan and said, “Up to you! I’ll leave the rest to you.”

You Yao and Shangguan Qiong watched the conniving master and servant duo with wide-eyed amazement. This was a complete trap! If there’s no evidence, just make some up!

You Yao looked disgusted, while Shangguan Qiong beamed with joy. “Your Highness, you are so wonderful!”

Lin Fengmian pulled Shangguan Qiong into his arms and kissed her on the cheek, smiling. “So, Fairy, you’re not angry anymore?”

“Yuqiong was never angry with you, Your Highness.”

Shangguan Qiong cooed sweetly and leaned against him. She felt that the beating she took last night wasn’t in vain after all.

On the other side, Song Yuanqing returned to the main hall with several elders and decided to continue with the welcome banquet they had prepared.

He clapped his hands and said with a smile, “There’s no sense in letting it go to waste. Musicians, play! Dancers, perform!”

Soon, lightly dressed women entered the hall, dancing and playing music, creating a seductive atmosphere.

“Sect Master, aren’t we risking offending him by doing this?” one elder asked worriedly.

Song Yuanqing scoffed. “What is there to fear? Prince Yunzheng has already accepted our Heavenly Deception Sect’s allegiance. No matter how powerful Jun Wuxie is, he’s not the eldest son. He can’t compete with Prince Yunzheng.”

Hearing this, the others relaxed and began to toast and laugh merrily.

One elder, holding a woman in his arms, leered and said, “These ordinary women are nothing compared to those bewitching disciples of the Joyful Union Sect.”

Another elder chuckled. “Indeed, each of them is unique in their own way. It’s a pity we didn’t capture more. Otherwise, we’d be in for a real treat.”

Song Yuanqing laughed boldly. “Once Prince Yunzheng ascends the throne, the Joyful Union Sect will inevitably fall into our hands.”

Everyone burst into laughter, grabbed the dancers and singers, and indulged in their pleasures.

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed as if someone were attacking the Heavenly Deception Sect.

Moments later, violent explosions rang out, shaking the entire sect.

Chaos erupted in the hall as many of the women stumbled and fell in panic.

“What’s going on?”

Song Yuanqing and the elders rushed out only to see a disciple stagger in.

“Sect master, it’s terrible! Jun Wuxie has returned with his men! They’ve broken through our defenses and smashed our gates!”
