Chapter 142
"Where should we go from here?" Qiuyue asked Su Yang after they left the Four Seasons Academy.
"Anywhere that allows them to find us easily," Su Yang replied casually.
"If I remember correctly, Dad likes to drink wine, right? Although it cannot be compared to the wine available in the Four Heavenly Heavens, it should be enough to quench your thirst."
"Hmm? You invited me to drink wine? If you're not careful, I might eat you too! Ahaha!" Su Yang laughed out loud.
"…"
Qiuyue looked speechless, but deep down, he wished it had really happened!

"Matriarch! The matriarch!"
The middle-aged man who received the paper scroll from Su Yang rushed to the meeting room, where the Matriarch and many other Sect elders were gathering.
"Which disrespectful disciple caused a commotion outside while knowing that there will be an important meeting today?" One of the people from inside the meeting hall said with a frown on his face.
Bang out! The door to the meeting hall suddenly opened, and the middle-aged man rushed in.
"Who dares to barge in here without permission ?! Prepare for your punishment!" Another individual shouted.
"Wait ... Elder Deng? Are you crazy? What do you think you're doing, acting like this?"
When the people in the meeting hall finally realized who the troublemaker was, they were all shocked.
How could the Sect Elder act in such a bad way, let alone Elder Deng, one of the Great Elders?
"I-i know! But it's urgent! Matriarch, please, look at this!"
Elder Deng ignored the other individuals in the room and directly approached the old woman sitting at the end of the room.
"I really hope your urgency is worth disturbing our meeting …"
Matriarch casually grabbed the scroll and opened it to read the contents.
However, two words into the scroll, Matriarch's eyes widened in shock and even stood up from her chair.
"I-This—! Where did you get this? Tell me!" Matriarch looked at Elder Deng with narrowed eyes filled with killing intent, and the Profound Qi of a Spirit Sovereign Realm expert suppressed the room.
When the others in the room saw this, they looked at the situation with terrified expressions. What the hell's going on? What was on the scroll that caused the usually calm Matriarch to get all rowdy?
Surprised, Elder Deng spoke hurriedly, "**-There is this group of children! They approached the Sect and asked me to hand over this scroll to the Matriarch!"
"Children's group? What do they want?"
"They said something about business!"
"Business? What else?"
"That's what they told me …"
Matriarch gathered her Profound Qi back into her body and sat back down with a brooding expression.
"When did this happen?" then he asked her.
“Newly.” Elder Deng immediately replied, not daring to delay the answer for even a second.
"Are they still out there? Bring it to me now!"
"…"
"Why are you still standing there? Haven't you heard my words just now?" Matriarch asked with a frown.
"M-Matriark .. these people you are talking about .. they are gone," Elder Deng said, his back covered in cold sweat.
"What ?! You let them go even after seeing this paper ?! Are you stupid ?!" The settling Matriarch suddenly turned agitated once again.
"A-I thought they were just here to play around, so I sent them before actually reading the contents of the scroll. They're just kids anyway."
Elder Deng explained everything that happened to everyone in the room.
"…"
Matriarch fell silent after listening to him, and her anger even lessened.
"I understand" he suddenly said. "You can't be blamed for your actions, because I'm sure everyone in this room will react the same way if they're in your shoes, and I'm sorry for acting up, I'm sure, it's not very professional for me. "
"There is no need for Matriarch to apologize to this disciple! I should also be more patient with them before expelling them!" Elder Deng bowed to him respectfully.
"Matriark, if you don't mind me asking, what is the content of the scroll?"
An old man with an age similar to the Matriarch suddenly asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
Matriarch sighed and said, "The content of this scroll is nothing new to everyone here, but that's why it's concerned …"
"Isn't it new for everyone here?"
The Elders were still confused.
"Look at yourself," Matriarch said as she threw the scroll at the old man.
"It! This is impossible!"
The old man's almost closed eyes widened as he read the scroll. He then looked around the room at everyone there with doubt in his view.
"Stop there," the matriarch suddenly said. "I can tell you what you're thinking now, but I trust everyone in this room as a Matriarch and as a fellow disciple, as well, not to mention that the contents of the scroll had already exceeded everyone's knowledge here, so it was impossible for any of us to have leaked outside. "
After a moment of silence, the old man nodded and said, "I understand. I'm sorry for doubting you all."
The other elders exchanged confused gazes with each other. In the end, what was the content of the scroll?
"Here, look at this …"
The old man then unrolled the scroll in such a way that everyone in the room could read it.
[Soul Prediction Recipes ..]
"What?!"
Everyone in the room shouted in unison.
"How is that possible ?! We have researched the recipe of the Soul Divination Pill for the current generation and have never spoken to anyone about our findings!"
"Wait on! How do we know it's real? It can be fake for all we know—"
"It's absolutely impossible for this to be fake," Matriarch shook her head. "I also thought the same at first, but if you haven't noticed it yet, the recipe here has exactly the same ingredients as our research ... and more …"
"You're right! Then this really …"
"What matters today is not this paper but the person who wrote it. We must quickly find these people and find out what they want from us! Elder Deng, you will help us in this matter, right?"
"Of course!" Elder Deng quickly replied.
"Good! As for this meeting, we will continue at a later date. Is there anyone here who disagrees?"
After a moment of silence, the Matriarch nodded. "alright. Then this concludes the meeting!"
"Yes, Matriarch!"
