The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 752 Another trick

Xuan Shengguo, Tiandao Sect.

After Shangguan Heng received Pan Chengfeng's message, he paused and said apologetically: "Junior Sister Li, it seems that I can't go to see the Wudao Flower today..."

Li Caiqin showed a trace of disappointment between her brows, but she still bowed slightly and said, "Since Senior Brother Shangguan has something to do, I will go back first~"

Shangguan Heng nodded slightly to show his apology, and then turned back to his room. Li Caiqin looked at Shangguan Heng's back until he could no longer see her, and then she reluctantly left Qianhuanju.

At night, Shangguan Heng was in his guest room.

Shangguan Heng was meditating and resting when another communication talisman came. He reached out to take it, and as expected, it was Pan Chengfeng's voice again: "Brother Shangguan, I can't get in, you come out."

This place is used to entertain distinguished guests, so there must be a powerful formation set up. Although Pan Chengfeng found Qianhuanju, he was blocked outside.

Shangguan Heng stood up and walked to the gate of Qianhuan Residence. When several guards saw Shangguan Heng coming out, they hurriedly saluted. Shangguan Heng waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I am just walking around. By the way, where does Junior Sister Li live?"

The guard hurriedly replied, "Elder Li lives in Huaiyin Valley, which is where the sect's outer elders live. Do you need me to lead the way?"

Shangguan Heng smiled and said, "No need, it's not far anyway, I can go there by myself."

After asking for directions, Shangguan Heng strolled leisurely and slowly left Qianhuanju. After Shangguan Heng left, the guards behind him began to discuss: "Is this the next head of the Shangguan family? He really has no airs at all~"

"That's right. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that the children of the great families all had their noses pointed upwards."

Another person laughed and said, "He went to see Elder Li. He heard that the men of the Shangguan family are not only handsome, but also romantic. Elder Li had only been gone for a few hours, and he couldn't help it..."

Another older guard heard someone talking nonsense and quickly shouted, "Shut up! Don't you want to live?!"

When they heard the captain's warning, they remembered the other party's identity and it was not something they could discuss casually, so they quickly shut their mouths.

A few thousand meters after Shangguan Heng left Qianhuanju, Pan Chengfeng's voice rang in his ears: "Brother, I'm talking to you like this. If you get too close, I'm afraid you'll be discovered."

With Pan Chengfeng's current magical power, the maximum sound transmission distance is only five thousand meters, because his spiritual awareness is only five thousand meters.

Shangguan Heng replied, "Hurry up and tell me. If I come out like this, I will easily attract the attention of the fusion cultivators."

Shangguan Heng strolled leisurely in the garden, looking around, seemingly admiring the scenery of Tiandao Sect, but in fact Shangguan Heng was cursing in his heart.

After Pan Chengfeng finished talking about his plan, Shangguan Heng didn't know how to describe his feelings.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the Tiandao Sect and Shangguan Heng was afraid of being discovered, he would have wanted to rush over and beat Pan Chengfeng up right now!

Shangguan Heng took a deep breath and replied, "Junior brother, do you know that I am going to the Yan family to propose marriage this time? If you ask me to do this now, how can I explain it to Sister Rao and the family when I go back?

Besides, if we do this, how will Li Caiqin get married in the future? She is a good girl~"

Pan Chengfeng also felt that this idea was quite mean, but the time was too short and he couldn't think of any good idea for the time being. So he might as well just do it meanly, since the one being harmed was someone else and Shangguan Heng was the one taking the blame.

Pan Chengfeng sighed and said, "Brother, I don't want this to happen, but I am now certain that my master and grandmaster have most likely been captured by the Tiandao Sect.

If we don't rescue them this time, it will be at least ten years later when my junior brother comes again.

In the next ten years, there is no telling how many accidents will happen. If that happens, I will have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life."

Shangguan Heng also wanted to help him, but he really couldn't do this kind of thing, so he said, "No, no matter what you say, I will not propose to Xuan Tongzi. You should think of another way, otherwise don't blame me for being unable to help."

On this side, Pan Chengfeng coaxed Shangguan Heng into proposing to Xuan Tongzi, while on the other side, Xuan Tongzi was meeting Li Caiqin.

Tiandao Sect, Xuantongzi’s cave.

Li Caiqin was talking about what happened with Shangguan Heng these days. After listening to her, Xuan Tongzi still had no clue and asked, "So, he really just passed by Tiandao Sect?"

Li Caiqin nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have been with him for many days, and he is not abnormal at all. Even when I invited him to see the Enlightenment Flower, he left because of a message."

Xuan Tongzi felt relieved when he heard this. He had previously speculated whether the Shangguan family had taken a fancy to the Tiandao Sect's most precious treasure, the Wudao Flower, and so they intentionally let Li Caiqin test the waters. But now it seems that is not the case.

Although the Enlightenment Flower is only six thousand years old, if it is nurtured for another four thousand years, it will become a rare flower. It can not only help people comprehend the great Dao, but can also be used as a medicine to greatly improve one's cultivation.

Xuan Tongzi was about to continue asking, but suddenly frowned and said calmly: "Shangguan Heng went to Huaiyin Valley, probably to look for you, you go back first, and we'll talk about the rest later~"

Li Caiqin was secretly delighted and quickly bowed and left. Halfway through her walk, she was suddenly stopped by Xuan Tongzi: "Elder Li, if I betroth you to Master Shangguan, are you willing?"

Outside Huaiyin Valley.

Shangguan Heng and Pan Chengfeng walked and discussed all the way. In the end, Pan Chengfeng still failed to convince Shangguan Heng, so he had to go back and think of another way.

Pan Chengfeng just wanted Shangguan Heng to make some noise in Tiandao Sect on the day of the rescue to attract the attention of those fusion cultivators so that he could seize the opportunity to rescue the people.

It seems that it is no longer possible to let Shangguan Heng propose marriage, so we have to think of other ways.

Seeing that Pan Chengfeng finally left, Shangguan Heng breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a communication talisman and sent it out.

After a while, a beautiful figure in a light blue dress landed in front of Shangguan Heng, bowed slightly and said, "Brother Shangguan, are you done with your work?"

Shangguan Heng's eyes lit up, and he quickly returned the greeting, "It's just a small matter of the family, and it has been dealt with."

Li Caiqin's face was a little shy. She remembered what Xuan Tongzi said before and was a little afraid to look Shangguan Heng in the eye. She turned her head slightly and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother is already in charge of family affairs. With such a big family, there must be a lot of things to do, right?"

Shangguan Heng sighed and said, "I can't help it. My uncle is too busy, and I have been confirmed to be the next head of the family. So my uncle just handed some things over to me.

To be honest, I really don’t want to get involved in family affairs, but the elders refused and forced me to take charge, so I had no choice but to do it.”

Li Caiqin asked curiously, "Isn't it good to be in charge of the family? Holding great power is what many people dream of~"

Shangguan Heng chuckled and said, "Power is great, but responsibility is even greater. I have watched my uncle for so many years, managing the family and the sect, walking on thin ice.

Not only did it delay many of my own things, but I couldn't even find time to practice.

I don’t want to be like my uncle, busy all day long, and…”

The two walked and talked, and unknowingly got closer and closer. Li Caiqin asked in a low voice: "And what?"

Shangguan Heng said awkwardly, "Besides, I'm going to get married this time when I go back, and the head of the family cannot be single."

Li Caiqin paused, her face turned pale, and her mind went blank...
