Facing Wu Qingcheng's ridicule, Shen Yan responded calmly. "You can say so… Both of you can be said to be a part of our Mystic Auction House and should know that interest cos before anything. What I am doing is nothing but an investnt."
"So, you ca here to preach to us about business?" Wu Qingcheng curled her lips. "Every investnt has a risk. Why did I feel you couldn't afford the risk and co here?"
Shen Yan nodded admittedly. "Indeed. I didn't expect the Moon Princess would be by his side. She singlehandedly exposed my plan… Yun Lintian should be extrely furious right now and wish to tear into pieces. You are one of the talismans that could protect my life."
Wu Qingcheng stared into Shen Yan's eyes for a while and asked. "Why should I help you?"
"We are businesswon," Shen Yan answered calmly. "Everything can be a negotiation."
Wu Qingcheng didn't say anything, waiting for Shen Yan to speak further.
"The upcoming clan gathering will determine a true heir's position. At first, I wanted to borrow Yun Lintian's power to help get the position, but it was difficult now," Shen Yan continued. "I want you to pacify him for and let him help get the position. Once I beco the heir, I will make you a true young miss of the Shen Clan."
"Perhaps you don't understand what it ans to be the true heir. Anyone who got it would have all the authority over the clansn in their hands. That includes your mother. Even if she wants to object to it, she will have to obey my words."
She took a deep look at Wu Qingcheng and said further. "I know you want revenge and make your mother regret it. This is your chance."
Wu Qingcheng frowned slightly and turned to look at her father. Sure enough, there was a glimr of hope in Wu Liwei's eyes at this mont.
Wu Liwei looked at Shen Yan and asked. "At the end of the day, the Mystic God Emperor has the highest authority. Shen Yifei is his daughter, and she married that man for benefits. I doubt a re true heir position can do what you said."
Even though he wished for revenge, Wu Liwei was sobered enough and didn't fall into the cake Shen Yan drew.
Shen Yan shook her head and said. "Indeed, Grandpa will still have the highest authority in his hand, but he won't interfere in this matter. Otherwise, both of you won't have a chance to stand in front of right now… You should also know the principle of our Mystic Auction House. We will never change the contract. I will do what I said."
"The marriage between your wife and Shan Jinhao is nothing but a mutual benefit exchange. Even if your daughter becos a true young miss of the Shen Clan, it won't affect anything much."
Wu Liwei fell into deep thoughts imdiately. Knowing it was difficult to take revenge, he and Wu Qingcheng would continue to live at the very least. That was far more than enough.
anwhile, Wu Qingcheng frowned deeply. She didn't care about revenge, but rather Yun Lintian. She didn't want to implicate him even if she had to die. The problem was, she couldn't stop him from coming. Not when he knew her situation.
With Yun Lintian's identity in concern, Wu Qingcheng was afraid that it would be a luring turtle into the urn plan. No matter how powerful Yun Lintian was, it was impossible for him to fight a God Emperor, right? At least not in a year's ti.
Shen Yan seed to see through Wu Qingcheng's thoughts. She said. "By the way, I have to tell you that Yun Lintian's identity as the Beyond Heaven King's successor has spread to every corner of the Divine Realm already. He's currently in the center of the storm. As long as I can get the position, I will have a way to protect him. Though temporary, it should be long enough for him to take a breather."
Wu Qingcheng looked into Shen Yan's eyes attentively and believed the latter didn't lie. She thought for a mont and said. "We can make a deal, but I can only save your life. As for whether he wants to help you, I have no power."I think you should take a look at
Wu Liwei looked at his daughter deeply and said nothing about it.
"That's more than enough." Shen Yan nodded slightly. She was confident in making Yun Lintian help her.
"We can sign a soul contract." Wu Liwei suddenly said.
Shen Yan nodded. "No problem."
Following that, the three quickly made a soul contract. The condition was simple. Wu Qingcheng would talk with Yun Lintian and tell him to spare Shen Yan's life, while Shen Yan would give her a young miss position when she beca a true heir. And whether Yun Lintian helped her or not, Shen Yan would make sure that Wu Qingcheng and Wu Liwei would leave the Mystic God Realm with their lives intact.
After signing the soul contract, Shen Yan looked at the dilapidated courtyard and said. "Co with . I will bring you to live in a better place."
Wu Qingcheng and Wu Liwei had no objection and followed Shen Yan out.
However, the three of them had no idea that two people were hiding in the void, watching everything. One was a silver-haired old man, and the other was a middle-aged man in white. They were the Mystic God Emperor Shen Huang, and the current Shen Clan's patriarch, Shen Feng.
"Alas, this little girl is good at everything but has overestimated herself this ti." Shen Feng sighed softly, watching his daughter walk away.
Shen Huang stroked his long beard and said nonchalantly. "At least she knows how to keep her life."
"What's your thought on this, Father?" Shen Feng asked.
Shen Huang glanced at the gloomy sky and said. "If we want sothing, we need to pay sothing in return."
As he finished his sentence, he imdiately vanished from the place.
Shen Feng stood silently in the place for a long while and sighed. "I should stop you back then, sister. You're in trouble this ti."

On Heavenhold Peak, Yun Lintian calmly sat on a rocking chair and looked at the gloomy sky silently.
"Brother…" Ning Yue wanted to say sothing but was interrupted by him.
"You will go to the Divine Moon Clan, and I will find you there later."
