All Offers Are For Yu Qingqing!

"Something the matter?"

Ning Fan asked.

"I... I greet Senior Brother Ning."

"These letters are for you."

That disciple of Changming Peak handed several missives to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan took the envelopes and scratched his head in confusion. He had few acquaintances in the Yin Yang Divine Sect, so he could not fathom why there were so many letters.

Strange.

Moreover, why did this disciple address him as Senior Brother?!

It felt a bit unfamiliar.

But after a moment of contemplation, Ning Fan understood. In the path of cultivation, those with greater attainment are honored first. Ning Fan was a Ranking Disciple; aside from the two pairs of Dao companions, Lin Yu and Li Yunqi, and the Chief Disciple on the back mountain, all other disciples of Changming Peak were indeed his Junior Brothers.

"Very well, I accept them."

Ning Fan nodded.

The disciple bowed and withdrew.

Ning Fan took the letters and returned to his cave dwelling with Yun Qingyao. Upon entering, he found Yu Qingqing sitting at the table, drinking alone.

She appeared quite at ease, her demeanor vastly different from her earlier agitation and impatience. Seeing Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao return, she cast a curious, meaningful glance at the pair.

Just moments ago.

Yu Qingqing had received word from her grandfather, the Peak Master of Qihua Peak-instructing her to serve Ning Fan well.

Even if she were merely a concubine, there were many benefits to be gained.

Ning Fan's aptitude went without saying.

If he did not meet an untimely end, his future was incredibly bright. Furthermore, rumors claimed Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao possessed dual cultivation physiques. If she could dual cultivate with Ning Fan even once...

Wouldn't Yu Qingqing's cultivation realm soar!?

With a little maneuvering, supported by the power behind her, she might even secure the position of a legitimate wife. She could even pull off a scheme to 'usurp the nest,' casting Yun Qingyao aside and rising to take her place. Wouldn't that be far more glorious than her days with Zhao Qi?

Thus.

Yu Qingqing was no longer in a hurry to leave. Instead, she plotted how to ensnare this new, rising genius.

Yu Qingqing looked at Ning Fan, her voice soft and sweet, designed to make one's bones turn to jelly. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with intoxicating intent.

It was as if a thousand words were gathered within them.

She didn't stop there.

Yu Qingqing even puffed out her chest, flaunting her voluptuous curves before Ning Fan. She could not believe that, with her appearance and figure, she could not win him over!!

Indeed.

Seeing Yu Qingqing's bold display, Ning Fan's eyes widened, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on her chest.

"Hmph."

Seeing Ning Fan's reaction, a hint of triumph flickered in Yu Qingqing's eyes.

So what if he was a genius? He was still destined to bow before her charms!?

Heh!

Yu Qingqing shot a triumphant glance at Yun Qingyao.

See?

Your husband is already stirred up by just a crook of my finger. It seemed that with a little more effort, she would soon replace Yun Qingyao.

Ning Fan walked step by step toward Yu Qingqing. Her eyes misted over, giving her an endearing, pitiable look.

"Young master, everything Qingqing has belongs to you."

"Please, be gentle."

Yu Qingqing's voice seemed to drip with honey. The next moment, she closed her eyes, looking as if she were ready to be plucked.

With her eyes closed, Yu Qingqing suddenly felt a force strike her, pulling off her outer garment. A mix of shyness and triumph surged in her heart.

Her heart hammered against her ribs, her face flushed red.

However, just as Yu Qingqing's eyes grew tired from being held shut, the expected advancement never came. She could hold her curiosity no longer and cracked open an eye to peek.

Yu Qingqing saw Ning Fan holding her outer garment in both hands.

He was examining a silver-threaded gauze robe with intense focus. The look Ning Fan gave the garment was identical to the one he had just given Yu Qingqing.

"Not bad!"

Ning Fan let out an exclamation of genuine admiration.

It was not that Ning Fan was a collector of such things.

Rather, this silver-threaded gauze robe was no ordinary item. Faint spiritual energy emanated from it; it was clearly a piece of soft armor! He had just tried pulling at it a few times.

It would not tear!!

Indeed.

As the granddaughter of the Qihua Peak Master, Yu Qingqing naturally possessed many treasures. This silver-threaded gauze robe was one of them. It could block attacks from ordinary Yellow Extreme Realm martial artists. Even attacks from Profound Extreme Realm martial artists would be significantly weakened upon striking the fabric.

It was a standard Profound-tier, middle-grade defensive Magical Artifact.

"Wife."

"This is a fine treasure. You should wear it when you have the chance."

Ning Fan walked to Yun Qingyao's side and handed her the garment, a joyful expression on his face, as if he had obtained the treasure for himself.

"Thank you, husband."

Yun Qingyao's eyes curved like crescent moons, her face beaming. She smiled sweetly as she accepted the silver-threaded gauze robe that Ning Fan had stripped from Yu Qingqing.

With this Magical Artifact, Yun Qingyao's strength would reach another level!

Yu Qingqing stood frozen in place, a wave of humiliation washing over her face. So, Ning Fan's gaze had not been directed at her at all.

It had been fixed on the artifact she was wearing.

Damn it!!

Then who had she been 'displaying' herself to just now?

Thinking of her own actions and Ning Fan's reaction, Yu Qingqing wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!!

Damn it!

Without realizing it, she, Yu Qingqing, had become nothing more than a source of amusement for Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao.

"Phew..."

Yu Qingqing took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

No rush.

She still had time. Since she would be spending a long time with Ning Fan from now on, she, Yu Qingqing, refused to believe that with all her schemes, she couldn't win over a mere Ning Fan!

"Let's take a look."

Ning Fan handed half of the letters to Yun Qingyao, while he opened and read the other half himself.

The content of the letters was simple-price offers.

That is right.

They were all offers for Yu Qingqing.

At the time, with the Zhao family's Dao Master present, no one dared to speak up. But many had their eyes on her. After all, to have been Zhao Qi's Dao companion, Yu Qingqing's own aptitude was quite impressive.

"Six thousand, seven thousand, seven thousand five..."

Ning Fan muttered to himself as he scanned the offers in his hand.

"The highest I have here is twelve thousand, and it's from the Zhao family," Yun Qingyao remarked.

"Mm."

Ning Fan nodded.

Aside from the Zhao family, the Qin family offered the most-a full eight thousand Spirit Stones' worth of cultivation resources. The Qin family also noted in their letter that if Yu Qingqing were handed over to them, they would protect Ning Fan from being hunted down by the Zhao family's mid-to-high-ranking members.

The subtext made it clear they were at odds with the Zhao family.

"No rush."

Ning Fan put away the highest offers.

He was not yet satisfied with the prices. Even the Qin family had only barely offered the equivalent of eight thousand Spirit Stones.

Not enough!!!

He would wait a little longer.

"Hey, hey, are you two really going to sell me off!?"

Seeing this, Yu Qingqing cried out in panic.
