The Legend of Divine Destiny
LTI 18 - Owner of the Nine Treasures Phoenix

“Nona Qiuyu's. No need to go that far. I want the Nine Treasures Phoenix to remain cultivated by you.” Shen Lao spent five billion gold coins.

Although it only showed a mountain of gold, but Shen Lao managed to make Ling Qiuyu, Ling Xie and Grandma Nue held their breaths.

‘L is very rich. Is this really your son Liuliu? Why hasn't there been any news of him yet?’ Ling Xie regulated his breathing while staring at Shen Lao's face.

“Young Master Shen, I really don't know what to say. I started this business not because of my will. But for the sake of supporting the mother and followers of the Ling Family. For the first time I feel proud that someone is depending on me.” Ling Qiuyu wiped away her tears.

Shen Lao was made misbehavior when he saw Ling Qiuyu's cheeks that looked flushed.

Ling Qiuyu explained that the wealth of the Nine Phoenix Treasures that most people were after came from the diamond and gold mines. The location of the two mines was unknown to anyone except Ling Qiuyu, Ling Xie, Granny Nue and Father Ling Qiuyu named Ling Han.

Five years ago after the events that befell the Ling Family. Ling Qiuyu and Ling Xie dug the mine with Grandma Nue and her remaining followers.

It's hard to get through those times. Ling Qiuyu took a deep breath because she did not want to show her sad face to the young man before her, but already, Shen Lao had seen her.

“Young Master Shen, from now on the Nine Treasures of the Phoenix become yours entirely. Be it from property, workers, anyway entirely.” Ling Qiuyu looked at Shen Lao with a sweet smile that adorned her face.

‘Are you also mine?’ Shen Lao looked at the face of Ling Qiuyu carefully who was writing the contract letter, ‘I want to talk like that, but it is impolite here there is Aunt Xie and Grandma Nue.’

Shen Lao put back all the documents and retrieved the contents of the Space Ring belonging to the higher-ups of the Black Water Organization, then placed them into the Infinite Space Seal. Then Shen Lao moved hundreds of millions of gold into the four Space Rings, but Ling Qiuyu and Ling Xie rejected him.

“Young Master Shen, I'm not sure I can accept and keep that much money well. It would be better if Young Master Shen held it.” Ling Qiuyu had already steadied his heart to believe in Shen Lao.

“Why does Miss Qiuyu and Aunt Xie trust me so much?” Shen Lao asked with a serious face.

Ling Xie smiled meaningfully, “Your parents are close friends of Aunt Xie. Even back then when you were a baby, Qiuqiu once played with you, back then you wet your bed in the lap of Qiuqiu.”

Shen Lao was shocked. This is the first time he knows it. But it was only natural that the Shen Family and the Ling Family had good relations in the past.

‘Ah, very embarrassing myself the baby..’ Shen Lao could not help but feel ashamed as Ling Xie and Ling Qiuyu laughed softly.

“But now you've turned into a great man. I didn't expect that adorable little baby to have grown into the handsome man he is today.” Ling Qiuyu looked at Shen Lao face deeply and smiled sweetly.

After a long conversation. Shen Lao again showed a paper containing information of the attack carried out by one of the princes.

Ling Qiuyu had Grandma Nue explain to Shen Lao about the two groups that were going to attack the Jiaran Capital.

The two black stream groups that had quite famous names in the Jia Empire made Grandma Nue's face deathly pale.

“This plan will be done in two days. It's not too late. Do you have Young Master Shen's plan?” Nue's grandmother felt that Shen Lao had the prowess in estimating everything. This young man seemed to have a picture of the future because he did not want his dark past to attract and drown him.

“Nona Qiuyu and Aunt Xie must have suffered a long time ago. You guys spent a lot of money to hire a swordsman who couldn't free Uncle Han. And Grandma Nue is a healer who always makes pills until she forgets time.” Shen Lao was moved after knowing the reason why the Nine Treasures Phoenix did not possess such great combat power.

Shen Lao explained that he wanted to become a large trade group and organization. Strength is important. Currently Shen Lao was giving Grandma Nue the task of recruiting warriors from the Early Stage of Star Swordsman to the Peak Stage of the Sacred Swordsman.

“If I could, I would like to recruit an earth warrior..” The room was instantly silent as Shen Lao began to explain his plan.

Ling Qiuyu unceasingly gave her sweetest smile out of admiration for Shen Lao's every action and word.

“I suggest to recruit warriors who are not tied to a sect and have no job. Can I leave this task to Grandma Nue?” It didn't take long for Grandma Nue to accept the task that Shen Lao had given her.

One Ring of Space in which there is only gold was given to Grandma Nue. Then Shen Lao conversed with Ling Qiuyu for quite a while, until the moon shone even brighter.

“How about Young Master Shen staying here?” Ling Qiuyu offered Shen Lao an offer to stay.

Shen Lao was also the owner of this building. So there was no harm in him staying for a few days in the Nine Treasures Phoenix to find a way to approach the Jia Emperor.

Ling Xie felt that his daughter who was now in her ripe age had fallen in love with Shen Lao. It was natural for Shen Lao to act naturally not even the slightest hint of concealing his feelings of resentment.

“Qiuqiu inter lao Into room. Tomorrow don't forget to have breakfast together.” Ling Xie left Shen Lao and Ling Qiuyu after saying so.

Inside the room now there was only Shen Lao and Ling Qiuyu who looked awkward to start the conversation.

“Nona Qiuyu..”.

“Young Master Shen..”

When the two opened their voices. Shen Lao and Ling Qiuyu said at the same time making the atmosphere even more awkward.

‘What am I thinking? He's younger than me. But this thrilling feeling, is not wrong anymore.’ Ling Qiuyu held her chest before taking a deep breath, “Young Master Shen, I will escort you to the room.”

Shen Lao simply nodded and followed Ling Qiuyu from behind. After arriving at a spacious room, Ling Qiuyu invited Shen Lao to rest.

“Goodnight Young Master Shen.” Ling Qiuyu gave the sweetest smile that made Shen Lao intend to pull his hand. But he held it.

“Goodnight Miss Qiuyu.” Shen Lao looked at Ling Qiuyu's back that was moving away. Then he laid his body thinking of a way to approach and told Emperor Jia about the identity of the prince who was about to stage the coup.
