Chapter 148 A Good Death, A Wonderful Death, A Desire to Be Scooped!

Ye Qingshuang selected a cargo ship near the coast and went aboard. She told the ship's manager that her ship had sunk and hoped they could give her a ride, offering to negotiate the price.

The manager of the cargo ship wouldn't agree to the white-lined cargo ship, but Ye Qingshuang offered money and only asked them to take them to the shore, so the manager thought about it and agreed.

Ye Qingshuang immediately waved to the little golden tiger, which then moved closer to the cargo ship. Ye Qingshuang then quickly paid the money.

"Oh, a spirit-level beast." The manager looked at the little golden tiger flying over and joked, "You still got into trouble even with a spirit-level beast escorting you? Looks like you've encountered something big."

“Who says otherwise?” Ye Qingshuang sighed. “Everyone said there was no danger in Xia City, so I brought my disciples here to travel. Good heavens, we encountered a giant sea beast. If this spirit-level beast hadn’t been able to fly, we probably would have sunk with the ship.”

“Xia City is indeed not dangerous, but the city does not include the sea area.” The steward smiled and said, “Being a master at such a young age is still too inexperienced. You were lucky to survive this time, but next time you should not leave the near sea rashly, or you will not even know how you died.”

"Thank you for the reminder, Steward. There won't be a next time," Ye Qingshuang said. "After this experience, I dare not linger at sea and plan to return to Lingcheng."

While Ye Qingshuang was talking to the steward, the little golden tiger flew over. After the group got off the little golden tiger's back, the little golden tiger shrank and returned to Ling Yi's shoulder.

After the steward met them, he looked at Ye Qingshuang and said, "Your master is too reckless. How dare you take your disciples out to sea with such low cultivation levels?"

Ye Qingshuang arranged for herself to have a prestigious master's position, but before she could enjoy the respect of her disciples, she was questioned by others.

Ye Qingshuang silently bore the criticism and continued chatting with the steward.

The steward looked at Ye Qingshuang and asked, "I forgot to ask earlier, is the matter in Lingcheng true?"

Ye Qingshuang asked, "Manager, I left Lingcheng many years ago to take on disciples. Has anything happened in Lingcheng recently?"

Seeing that Ye Qingshuang didn't know, the steward immediately became eager to share: "Isn't there a sect called the Heavenly Spirit Sect over in Ling City?"

"Ah..." Ye Qingshuang nodded, "I know, what happened to the Heavenly Spirit Sect?"

Upon hearing the words "Tianling Sect," the others first glanced at Ye Qingshuang, then looked at the steward, waiting for his reply.

"The previous sect leader of Tianling Sect passed the position to a disciple. The other disciples were dissatisfied with that disciple, and coupled with the sect's poor resources, they all left. However, those disciples couldn't find good places after leaving Tianling Sect, so two disciples returned. Upon their return, they discovered that the disciple who had become sect leader was not there. Finding him missing, the two conspired, one becoming sect leader and the other vice-sect leader, and then recruited a group of village children to cultivate, providing them with enough money to eat and wear." The shopkeeper sighed, "Such a sect was unremarkable, nothing special. But, just last year, everything changed!"

Ye Qingshuang first heard about her sect from others, and then heard that those good-for-nothings had returned and taken over the sect. At this moment, she was in a terrible mood. Seeing that the manager was being mysterious, Ye Qingshuang patiently asked, "What happened last year?"

"Last year, there was an earthquake in Lingcheng. Tiannan Mountain collapsed because of the earthquake, and a spirit mine was discovered in Tiannan Mountain!" The manager said excitedly, "Such a large spirit mine. As soon as the news spread, all the major sects went there."

"The spirit mine is in Tiannan Mountain. Tiannan Mountain was bought by the sect leader of Tianling Sect, so the spirit mine belongs to Tianling Sect. However, other sects are more powerful than Tianling Sect. Tianling Sect could not protect the spirit mine, so they sold Tianling Sect."

"What!?" Ye Qingshuang, who had been relatively calm, was stunned upon hearing this: "Sold?"

The manager nodded: "Sold."

"How did those idiots sell it without sect tokens?" Ye Qingshuang was furious.

The steward said, "They sold it at a low price without the sect token. They sold it to the number one sect in the Zhaoyue Empire. In this way, even without the sect token, they don't have to worry about the original sect leader causing trouble."

Ye Qingshuang wanted to hurl insults at this moment, but remembering that it was something from last year, and that the manager had just asked if that matter was true, he was definitely not asking about something from last year, she held back and asked, "Manager, you said it yourself, it was something from last year, it's nothing new, so what is it about this year?"

The manager said, "It's spirit ore."

"After Zhaoyue Sect bought the spirit mine, they sent people to Tianling Sect to mine it. However, people died during the mining. At first, Zhaoyue Sect kept the news under wraps, but recently another group of people died, and the news has spread. However, Zhaoyue Sect has not admitted it yet, so we don't know if it's true or false. You said you were from Lingcheng, so I asked you out of curiosity. I didn't expect you weren't in Lingcheng."

After hearing this, Ye Qingshuang began to clap her hands: "Good riddance, wonderful death, a truly splendid one."

Manager: "?" What the heck?

Ye Qingshuang looked at the steward with a smile and asked, "Are those idiots who sold out the Heavenly Spirit Sect dead?"

The manager shook his head: "Probably not. They sold the Heavenly Spirit Sect and then dismissed the disciples and left."

"What a pity," Ye Qingshuang said with a smile. "Why didn't they die together?"

Manager: "?" What's wrong with this girl?

Why does every single sentence involve death?

"It's alright if they're not dead. When I get back, I'll skin them all alive and spread their skin on the steps of the Heavenly Spirit Sect so people can walk on their skin."

"No, young lady, are you out of your mind?" The manager looked at Ye Qingshuang: "It's one thing that you keep talking about death, but now you want to skin them alive? Do you have a grudge against them?"

Although Ye Qingshuang was angry, he knew that the steward was just a gossip and had nothing to do with him, so he suppressed his temper and said, "I have a grudge against them because I am the head of the Tianling Sect. They sold the sect while I was away. I would rather chop them up and feed them to the dogs than skin them alive."

"You're the sect leader of the Heavenly Spirit Sect?" The steward, who had initially found Ye Qingshuang strange, immediately changed his mind after hearing her story and said sympathetically, "You're so pitiful. You lost your home after leaving, and you didn't even get a share of the seller's money."

“Yes, I’m really in a terrible situation…” Ye Qingshuang looked at the manager and smiled, “Thank you for sharing, manager. We won’t refund the money. We’ll be going now.”

After saying that, Ye Qingshuang walked to the side of the cargo ship and threw Cui Linglong directly into the water.

The Emerald Beauty immediately grew larger upon contact with water, and Ye Qingshuang immediately flew up to it. Seeing this, the others followed her back without Ye Qingshuang even having to call them.

After boarding the ship, Ye Qingshuang said, "Xiao Cui, travel as fast as you can."

In the past, Cui Linglong would never have listened to the name "Xiao Cui," but now... as a spirit, Xiao Cui could sense that Ye Qingshuang was in a bad mood. Not wanting to provoke the enraged Ye Qingshuang, it obediently set off.
