Chapter 767: Sit Back and Reap the Benefits

He pretended to be angry, but he was overjoyed. Qian Jiyun must not have known about this, giving him the opportunity to get close to An Jiuyue.
It would be great if he could trick her into giving him the artifact An Tu had left behind.
Even if he had to snatch it, he had to get it!
However, it was clearly not the time to consider how to deal with An Jiuyue. He had to send Lord Xue Yang and Xue Fangling away before he could do anything. “You want me to search for a needle in a haystack? Ask everyone one by one?” “Why not?” Lord Xue Yang retorted.
This was a huge temptation. He was not afraid that Shang Ningyi would not agree to do it for him.
“Technically, I can do that.” Shang Ningyi was silent for a long time before nodding.
“But if I want to find that artifact, I have to return to Shang Kingdom personally. I don’t have that much time to stay at Huayan Peak. You should understand what I mean, right? I don’t have that much time to deal with your sister,” he said bluntly.
He wished that love-struck fool would go back to where she came from and never appear in front of him again.
Seeing that Shang Ningyi had agreed, Lord Xue Yang wasted no time.
“I’ll bring Fangling back to Camp Xue Yang after your sister’s birthday. I promise she won’t disturb you until you find that artifact. How about that?” he asked.
“Okay.” Shang Ningyi nodded in agreement.
As long as he could find that artifact, he would not have to be afraid of Lord Xue Yang. As for Xue Fangling, he would not have to hurry.
“Then it’s a deal.” Lord Xue Yang stood up and smiled.
It was still too early for Shang Ningyi to sit back and reap the benefits. Could he subdue that artifact alone? If the artifact would acknowledge anyone easily, Huayan Peak would have been teeming with inter-plane travelers.
“It’s a deal.” Shang Ningyi nodded at him and watched him leave.
Meanwhile, Xue Fangling stood outside for a while, thinking about how Shang Ningluo’s birthday was coming up soon.
She had to marry Shang Ningyi in the future. Shang Ningluo was Shang Ningyi’s most valued younger sister. Now that she was here, she had to greet her and give her a gift, right?
Hence, she quickly inquired about Shang Ningluo’s whereabouts from the people at Camp Ning Se and ran over.
When Shang Ningshen saw Xue Fangling approaching from a distance, he was almost scared out of his wits.
“Sister, I can’t accompany you anymore. You can stay here alone. I’m leaving.”
He did not want Xue Fangling to see him. After exchanging a few words with Shang Ningluo, he ran away quickly, as if a cat was chasing after him.
Shang Ningluo looked at her younger brother and shook her head with a smile.
She looked up at Xue Fangling, who was almost in front of her.
Disregarding Xue Fangling’s appearance, she had a pleasant temperament. She was not influenced by the domineering and bloodthirsty Lord Xue Yang.
She spoke softly and gently. Her voice sounded pretty good without looking at her face.
“Sister Fangling, are you looking for me?” Shang Ningluo stood up from the swing and asked Xue Fangling with a smile.
“Luoluo, you’re here.”
Xue Fangling walked up to her, feeling puzzled after spotting the figure running away from the corner of her eye..
