<h4>Chapter 1275: Chapter 1272: Deeply Scheming (1st Update)</h4><h4></h4>


    Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.


    Su Junneng’s face was extremely grim, as he recounted the entire series of events to his father.


    After listening, the City Lord stroked his beard, deep in thought and silent.


    After a long while, unable to restrain himself, Su Junneng said solemnly, "Father, this brat is truly detestable, but Miss Sheng the Second looks favorably upon him and shows no courtesy to us. How should we deal with this?"


    Su’s father chuckled, "Xue Family... Hehe, as far as I know, not only does our Golden Light Heavenck a prominent family named Xue, but even the other great heavens have also not heard of noble families with the surname Xue!"


    Upon hearing this, Su Junneng was slightly taken aback, then a malicious expression appeared on his face, "In that case, Father means..."


    While speaking, Su Junneng made a vicious shing gesture across his neck.


    Su’s father shook his head, "Do not act too hastily. Although this person is just amoner, Miss Sheng the Second now values him greatly. If we act rashly, it will only bring about her ire and dissatisfaction, resulting in failure and furtherplications!"


    Su Junneng’s face showed a look of bewilderment, "So doing this won’t work, nor will doing that! Are we to just watch helplessly?"


    Su’s father chuckled, then triumphantly pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom, "Who said we can only watch helplessly! Here, have a look!"


    Su Junneng took the paper and briefly nced at it, then stood there stunned.


    Su’s father said proudly, "How is it?"


    Su Junneng felt a surge of ecstasy rise in his heart, his voice trembling with excitement, "Father, when did we obtain this?"


    No wonder he was so thrilled; the information on the paper was too crucial for him! So crucial that it made even the usually frivolous Su Junneng ecstatic.


    The paper simply had a few lines, stating that the preparations for the grand opening ceremony of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion were well arranged, and Su Junneng could also enter the ranks of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion at that time.


    Thinking of also being able to enter the renowned Golden Cauldron Pavilion, to study the Dao andter be an admired figure by thousands, Su Junneng’s breathing grew much heavier.


    Su’s father chuckled, "I have been nning this sincest year, and now it has finally seeded in meeting everyone’s expectations, securing this permission! Now, my son will also be a disciple of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion!"


    "Thank you, Father!" Su Junneng bowed deeply, trembling with excitement.


    Then, standing up, he spoke hesitantly, "But Father, how does this rte to dealing with that Xue fellow?"


    Su’s father stroked his beard and chuckled, "Hehe! Before I received this letter today, I too had some worries about how to handle this Xue An who popped out of nowhere! But now... everything is set!"


    Su Junneng was startled, not yet understanding what his father meant.


    Su’s father spoke calmly, "My son, you do know that although our Golden Light Heaven ranks at the end in this realm, the Golden Cauldron Pavilion is not a ce anyone can just waltz into! With the grand opening ceremony imminent, this Xue fellow clearly ns to seek entry as well!"


    "Sadly, for someone like him, a nobody with neither background nor connections, how could he possibly enter the Golden Cauldron Pavilion?"


    Hearing this, Su Junneng suddenly realized, "Father, are you saying..."


    Su’s father nodded, "Exactly! The uing grand opening ceremony is the perfect opportunity to deal with this Xue fellow!"


    Upon saying this, Su’s father stood up and strode back and forth in the room, then chuckled wickedly, "As for Miss Sheng the Second, needless to say, she will definitely enter the Golden Cauldron Pavilion, and might even directly be an Inner Sect Disciple! And you will also join the ranks! Once this Xue An gets rejected, what awaits him? Need I say more?"


    Su Junneng became more and more excited as he listened, but suddenly he remembered something and hesitated to say: "But I see that the Second Miss has a special fondness for Xue An. If she..."


    Su’s father waved his hand dismissively, "My son, you still don’t understand the minds of noble daughters! Especially for a pampereddy like the Second Miss, most of the time it’s just boredom and a whim for amusement! But for them, what’s most important is power and status!"


    "By the time Xue An is eliminated, he will naturally leave dejectedly, and then once you enter the Golden Cauldron Pavilion, you will have all the time to interact, and within a few days, I guarantee that the Second Miss will have forgotten all about this Mr. Xue!"


    Su Junneng was mesmerized and nodded continuously, "Exactly, father, your insight is truly sharp! But father, what if Miss Sheng tries to use the Sheng Family’s influence to help Mr. Xue secure a position?"


    Su’s father chuckled and then shook his head, "If it were someone else I wouldn’t be so sure, but Miss Sheng... absolutely not!"


    "Hmm? Why do you say that?"


    "Because this time, it’s not just Sheng Miaotong who will attend the opening ceremony, but I’ve just received word that her elder sister, Sheng Manyu, will also go and directly be a disciple under Elder Shui Jing! You should know, Miss Sheng may fear nothing else, but she has immense respect for her elder sister!"


    "What do you think she would feel if her elder sister finds out about all this?"


    Su Junneng felt greatly reassured and admired his father’s tactics even more, chuckling, "Maybe we won’t even need to lift a finger, and this Mr. Xue will find himself in trouble!"


    "Haha! My son is right, so let Mr. Xue be brash for a few more days!" Su’s father said with a grin, resembling a sly old fox without fur.


    A night without words.


    The next day, as soon as Xue An and Xing Yushu stepped out the door, they saw Sheng Miaotong already waiting there with a sly grin.


    "Master Xue, did you have a good rest?" Sheng Miaotong asked with a smile.


    Xue An nodded.


    "Then let’s set off now!" Sheng Miaotong said, her eyes shining brightly.


    "We?" Xue An frowned slightly.


    "Yes! Aren’t you going to attend the opening ceremony? We’re heading the same way, so why not take the Flying Boat together? It’s less hassle than flying back and forth in the sky!"


    Xue An looked deeply at Sheng Miaotong, "Thank you!"


    Sheng Miaotong smiled even brighter than the flowers, "Oh, why mention thanks! My Flying Boat can amodate many people! Plus, it’s still a long way from the Golden Cauldron Pavilion, isn’t flying together less boring?"


    However, Xue An shook his head, "No need!"


    Really?


    The smile on Sheng Miaotong’s face stiffened.


    Then, Xue An raised his hand, and with a cry of a crane, a crane-drawn carriage appeared in mid-air.


    Xue An said indifferently, "Let’s go!"


    Saying so, he stepped into the carriage.


    Xing Yushu watched foolishly, muttering softly, "Since we had this, why did you make me fly for three whole days?"
