Li Yang hesitated slightly, then heard Kong Shisan say, "She was swindled out of 50 million Star Coin last time, and I've helped her get it back. I was thinking..."

Li Yang: "!"

She knew what Kong Shisan had come for.

It's probably trying to curry favor with the Bone Peach Mother Tree, since the Bone Peach Mother Tree has really climbed to a high position these days.

At the time, even the Wise One Fire Sacrifice seemed unattainable to Kong Shisan.

Now that the Bone Peach Mother Tree has actually climbed up to the Sage Xuanyuan, it's enough to make Kong Shisan put aside all his arrogance and try to curry favor with the Bone Peach Mother Tree.

He even brought up that 50 million Star Coin.

They even said they found it for her.

Where to look?

Jiang Nianchu is completely dead.

However... Li Yang thought about it and realized that she could leave some foreshadowing on Kong Shisan's side.

"Thirteenth Master," Li Yang said with delight, "Lord Flower of Flower of Evil isn't in the room, but he won't let me go out, so..."

Kong Shisan was taken aback, and quickly lowered his voice to ask, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Li Yang said again, "But I can't leave this room."

Kong Shisan hurriedly said, "Then don't come out. I just wanted to tell you that I found the fifty million Star Coin you lost back then. If it's inconvenient for you right now, how about I 'return' them to Sage Xuanyuan first?"

This is Kong Shisan's ultimate purpose in coming to find the Bone Peach Mother Tree.

He didn't hesitate to spend 50 million Star Coin out of his own pocket, just to deliver it to Xuanyuan and make his presence known to him.

But thinking about it carefully, spending those 50 million was quite worthwhile.

The specific details about the Bone Peach Mother Tree are clear.

Jiang Nianchu is dead, so how can there be any talk of finding her? Therefore, Kong Shisan can only pay for it out of his own pocket.

Kong Shisan's timing for figuring things out was excellent.

Although the Bone Peach Mother Tree caught Xuanyuan's eye, it ultimately lacked a foundation and resources.

If the Bone Peach Mother Tree wants to develop well under Xuanyuan's name in the future, it will need to use Star Coin to cultivate relationships with various parties.

Otherwise, no matter how talented they are, they are easily suppressed and ostracized.

Therefore, his 50 million Star Coin were a lifesaver.

Even if Kong Shisan was somewhat harsh on the Bone Peach Mother Tree initially, this move should help him regain favor.

Kong Shisan was calculating his options. If the Bone Peach Mother Tree really was the Bone Peach Mother Tree, then he would have successfully connected with Xuanyuan.

A mere Second-Class Wise One has actually caught the eye of a Sage.

Even if this Sage only remembers his code name, it's enough for Kong Shisan to raise his banner and build his own reputation among the Kong generation, or even the Mi generation.

And such benefits can be achieved with just 50 million Star Coin...

Kong Shisan thought it was a great deal, so he eagerly came to give away his money.

Li Yang is no longer the type to risk her life for fifty million Star Coin. She'd love for Kong Shisan to go to the Sage Xuanyuan and deliver the message that "the Flower of Evil is out and she's not allowed to leave the house."

This would provide some alibis for the Bone Peach Mother Tree, which might prove useful in a crucial moment.

After considering her words, Li Yang, sensing the Bone Peach Mother Tree's feelings, feigned both greed and reluctance. "Wouldn't this... be too much trouble for the Sage?"

Kong Shisan understood what she meant.

The Bone Peach Mother Tree is incredibly short-sighted. She doesn't really think someone of Xuanyuan's status would care about 50 million Star Coin. So she's afraid that if Kong Shisan delivers it to Xuanyuan, she'll end up with nothing.

While expressing his disdain for the Bone Peach Mother Tree, Kong Shisan had to patiently explain in a gentle voice, "You're with the Flower of Flower of Evil now. What if this money ends up in his pocket? I'll send it to Sage Xuanyuan first. Don't worry, the Sage is very generous to his disciples. The resources he rewards them with usually start at tens of millions of Star Coin."

Li Yang immediately feigned sudden realization, unable to hide his delight, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Thirteenth Master!"

Kong Shisan felt a sense of relief.

Li Yang added, "By the way, the Sage is currently busy with meetings, so Thirteenth Master should try to find him in a few days."

She said that on purpose.

Kong Shisan didn't dare to disturb Xuanyuan right now, which is why Li Yang dared to use him as a foreshadowing.

The reason for mentioning it again was to suit the nature of the Bone Peach Mother Tree, and also to pour cold water on Kong Shisan, so that he wouldn't take the Bone Peach Mother Tree too seriously and become arrogant, and then dare not go without considering the consequences.

Kong Shisan couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

This Bone Peach Mother Tree takes herself too seriously, acting as if she knows everything about the Sage Xuanyuan's whereabouts.

Did he even need her to remind him?

He wouldn't disturb Sage Xuanyuan at this critical juncture!

Kong Shisan was displeased, but he could only patiently reply, "Of course, I'll go find Sage Xuanyuan when he has some free time."

Li Yang was quite satisfied and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Thirteenth Master."

Kong Shisan, fearing he might lose his composure, didn't linger, simply saying, "That's all for now, I'll head back."

Li Yang couldn't help but add, "Thirteenth Master, it's a pity the Sand Fruit Realm Domain can't be found anymore."

Kong Shisan: "..." How greedy! He paid for those 50 million Star Coin out of his own pocket, does she expect him to give her a Realm Domain?!

Kong Shisan, remembering that he had at least made contact with Xuanyuan, suppressed his anger and argued with her, "This is truly irretrievable; after all, it was seized by the Huaxia Heavenly Palace."

Li Yang said this was to remind him that the Bone Peach Mother Tree and the Huaxia Heavenly Palace had a deep-seated hatred for each other.

Now that he'd said it himself, Li Yang could only lament, "That damned Huaxia Heavenly Palace has stolen two of my small Realm Domain!"

Kong Shisan: "..." What a Realm Domain of rubbish! When did the Blue Crystal Realm Domain and the Sand Fruit Realm Domain become yours? It's clearly because you weren't capable enough to take them!

Kong Shisan just wanted to run away as fast as possible, fearing that the Bone Peach Mother Tree would demand an exorbitant amount, thinking that fifty million was not enough... He said, "I'll leave first, so I don't run into the Flower of Evil and let him pocket these fifty million Star Coin."

Li Yang quickly said, "You should leave now!"

Kong Shisan can finally leave.

After he left, he still had some doubts. "Where did the Flower of Evil go?"

However, this matter was too far removed from Kong Shisan's interests, and with his seniority, he was not qualified to know about the siege of the Flower of Evil. So he didn't think much of it and hurriedly left to continue asking around and inquiring about when Sage Xuanyuan would be available.

He had to deliver the money before the Bone Peach Mother Tree returned.

Giving it to Sage Xuanyuan would be far more useful than giving it to that greedy Bone Peach Mother Tree!

Not long after Kong Shisan left, the Flower of Evil returned.

He was quite perceptive; noticing the unfamiliar presence, he immediately used Spacetime Rewind.

After reading the conversation between Kong Shisan and Li Yang...

He said speechlessly, "You really do use everything you can."

Li Yang stared at him and asked, "How is it?"

The Flower of Evil said smugly, "I told you, this is a trivial matter for me!"

Li Yang was very cautious. "Let me see."

Flower of Evil: "Fine, fine, fine!"

That's the advantage of Time Rewind: it can quickly and accurately show what has already happened.

The Flower of Evil did indeed exploit the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower.

However, he cleverly disguised himself and took a roundabout approach to a First-Class Wise One ranked 39th.

This Mi Sanshijiu had only recently been promoted to the Ninth-Grade Supreme.

He was eager to continue his advancement, so he kept instructing his subordinates to help him search for Innate Sacred Object.

The Flower of Evil had its sights set on one of his Disciple, who was eager to make a name for himself.

Like Kong Shisan, this Disciple was unaware that Lost Space Society besiege the Flower of Evil, and simply regarded the Flower of Evil as a guest of Sage Xuanyuan.

The reason the Flower of Evil approached him was quite simple: he wanted to join the Lost Space Society, but he was just a figurehead Sage, so he wanted to contact the lower-ranking members of the Void Society to see if they were still interested in joining him.

While Mi Sanshijiu was still in a meeting, the Flower of Evil came to test Mi Sanshijiu's first Disciple, who was also his confidant.

This would easily lure the Disciple. Once he saw the Flower of Evil, the Flower of Evil would use the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower to express its sincerity, drawing a picture for him that said, "If you switch your allegiance to my sect, you will never lack this Innate Sacred Object again."

Once this Disciple obtains the Sacred Heart Flower, the Flower of Evil can easily plant spores in his Spirit Sea and manipulate him.

The Disciple could not resist the temptation and quickly accepted the Sacred Heart Flower.

After the Flower of Evil manipulated him, it became easy for her to access Mi Sanshijiu.

If it weren't for Mi Sanshijiu being in a meeting, the Flower of Evil would have already completed its mission.

The reason it's been so long is because Mi Sanshijiu just finished a meeting.

Mi Sanshijiu, completely unsuspecting of his confidant, flew into a rage upon learning that he actually wanted to persuade him to join the Flower of Evil's faction, "Fool! We're about to besiege the Flower of Evil, and you actually want me to switch sides..."

Saying this constitutes a "leak" of information.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Mi Sanshijiu is unaware of his Disciple's problem at this moment.

But once the Flower of Evil has escaped, Xuanyuan will surely conduct a thorough investigation, and then... what he finds out himself will be the most reliable.

The news was leaked by Mi Sanshijiu, so it has nothing to do with the Bone Peach Mother Tree.

Li Yang received the Time Rewind instantly, so without wasting any time, she immediately said, "Let's go!"

Flower of Evil: "Good."

He was about to reach for Li Yang's hand, but Li Yang had already taken his hand first.

Flower of Evil: "..." Her hands were strangely soft, but this woman's heart was harder than iron!

Li Yang reminded him, "Let's go."

The Flower of Evil paused, then asked, "You really want to come with me to the Evil Domain?"

Li Yang: "What, are you scared?"

Enraged, the Flower of Evil retorted, "What am I afraid of! You're just a mere Seventh Grade Realm, what can you do to me!"

Li Yang: "Stop dawdling, time is running out. If you want to be surrounded and wiped out by the Lost Space Society, I won't stop you."
