The voluptuous and enchantingly beautiful Baihua Palace Master had a smile blossoming like a flower on her face, yet feigned difficulty as she exclaimed anxiously, "Young Master Sha, you must bear with it. If people find out I was the one who called you about these matters, what would that make me?"

"Rest assured, I won't tell anyone what you've said to me."

With that, the call was hung up.

The Baihua Palace Master, smiling radiantly like a blooming peony, was so exceptionally beautiful that it's hard to describe with simple words.

She put down the phone.

Her snow-white, slender jade fingers lightly tapped the desktop as the captivating Baihua Palace Master revealed a dazzling smile at the corners of her lips.

"Fighting against me, little Shen Qiang, you're still too green."

Downstairs.

Originally, a banquet was to be held in the restaurant, but because Shen Qiang's water theft prevention agent had been utterly ruined by cultivators, despite being repaired during the afternoon, the pungent smell of glue made it impossible to use as a dining area.

So, the dining location was changed to the small hall.

The main hall on the first floor would serve as the main venue for the three-day treasure exhibition.

When Shen Qiang returned, he quietly observed that place was indeed under tight security.

Divine Sense couldn't detect what was hidden inside, and not only that.

The passage leading there was locked, requiring both fingerprint and iris recognition to open the door. To silently swipe all the treasures inside wouldn't be an easy task.

After all, based on the current information, the treasure exhibition will last for three days, during which the exhibiting sects' magical treasures would be available for cultivators to view, apart from exhibitors, ordinary cultivators need to purchase tickets.

A ticket costs a staggering 38,800.

So, calculating this, Shen Qiang realized Baihua Palace was conducting business worse than Bianyi.

Not only that, the most surprising thing for Shen Qiang was Baihua Palace's Jade Girl, Qian Dai, who unexpectedly volunteered to accompany Shen Qiang and others for dinner, which immediately alerted Shen Qiang to suspicious intentions.

Because the current Shen Qiang and Baihua Palace are anything but harmonious.

Both sides are trying hard; they smile on the surface but stab each other behind their backs.

Baihua Palace is hoping that tomorrow, after showcasing powerful magical treasures and instilling fear in Shen Qiang at the treasure exhibition, they can extort him.

Shen Qiang's plan, on the other hand, is simpler.

To swipe all the exhibited magical treasures.

Under such circumstances, Baihua Palace's Jade Girl accompanying Shen Qiang for dinner was certainly suspicious.

As a result, Shen Qiang subtly probed and in less than three minutes got out the fact that indeed it was the Palace Master of Baihua Palace who sent her.

But other than that, she claimed ignorance.

So it goes without saying, Shen Qiang knew the Baihua Palace Master definitely didn't tell Qian Dai her real purpose.

Thus, Shen Qiang casually chatted with her.

Among the dining companions were the indifferent to beauties Ji Liangchuan, followed by Zhang Shuheng eager to reach the top ranking in the game.

After chatting for a while.

While no other insights were gained, Shen Qiang did have some understanding of Qian Dai's background.

Her surname is Wei Sheng, a relatively rare surname, not found in the Hundred Family Surnames. Her ancestral home is Huainan, making her a genuine Hui girl.

Besides that, useful information was that Baihua Palace's female disciples are divided between external and internal disciples, with ordinary external disciples generally having a cultivation below the Nascent Soul Stage, and most haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With Shen Qiang's current Yang God Realm level, those disciples' combat abilities are basically akin to ants.

Yet what's formidable is,.

Baihua Palace doesn't accept male disciples, only female ones, who are usually privileged and beautiful, so they often marry well.

Therefore, Baihua Palace's true influence in the Cultivation World is slightly lacking, but in the secular world, it undoubtedly ranks first among all cultivation sects.

Moreover, the adorable Qian Dai disclosed that the number of Baihua Palace's external female disciples nationwide is astonishingly over three thousand, spread across various cities which allow them to handle small things in the mundane world effortlessly as long as they don't break laws.

Whereas internal disciples are Baihua Palace's true core; they are invariably female, and their cultivation is above the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Although she didn't specify the number, analyzing from her proud demeanor, the total likely far exceeds that of ordinary first-class sects.

Indeed, since they run schools across regions, they have wide access to students and naturally, wouldn't lack recruits.

So it's not just about imparting cultivation skills.

Teaching them to play the piano for three years, and should the school face issues, seeking little favors from former students, who would refuse?

Thus among this four-alliance, Baihua Palace is truly powerful and the most troublesome.

Not only do these women have numbers, but their Master is as cunning as Bianyi.

More crucially, the world will never lack people who stand up for beauties.

After chatting for a while, Baihua Palace's female disciples started serving dishes.

Shen Qiang and his companions barely had a drink and tasted a dish when Shen Qiang immediately noticed a man approximately twenty-six or seven years old, tall, with almond eyes, thin lips, a few strands of mustache under his forehead, wearing an ordinary black down jacket watching him coldly.

Behind him were six or seven people, two of whom exuded extraordinary presence.

Which made Ji Wei and Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu beside Shen Qiang become vigilant.

"Sha Jianming?" Baihua Palace's Jade Girl Qian Dai looked at the man in shock.

Almost simultaneously, with his emergence, many surrounding cultivators also fell into an eerily sudden silence.

"Damn, isn't this Sha Jianming from Carefree Valley's Sha family? He came for Shen Qiang? He said he was busy and would come tomorrow."

"Looks like a fight!"

"He seems really angry."

In the silent and attentive eyes of others, the man walked straight to Shen Qiang and company, saying coldly, "Screw it, flip it over."

Before his words were finished, a man behind him raised a hand to flip the table.

Ji Wei's eyes lit up, he pressed one hand.

Bam!

The whole table flipped over spectacularly.

Glasses, cutlery, dishes, soup, and oil scattered and flew everywhere.

Shen Qiang glanced with the corner of his eye at Qian Dai, who was shocked but clearly knew this person, and realized immediately that his hunch was right; Baihua Palace Master sending Qian Dai to dine with them really was ill-intentioned.

At the same time, Shen Qiang also spotted Baihua Palace Master at the small hall entrance, her voluptuous figure in alluring red dress, with her beautiful eyes and red lips brimmed with a smug smile.
