My Wife Divorced me At the Start but I Gained a Billionfold Repayment System

Chapter 52: Bai Suantian, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion

“You two, will you be paying first, or after the matter is done?”

The Steward of Tianji Pavilion looked at Feng Qingyu and Wu Wuji with a fawning smile as he asked.

“Afterward.”

Wu Wuji’s expression remained calm as he looked at the Diviner and gestured for him to begin.

Every Diviner in Tianji Pavilion was proficient in the art of deduction. So long as they possessed information on the person being deduced, they could calculate even a Saint Emperor.

However, if they tried to calculate a Saint Emperor, it was easy for the other party to notice it. Thus, under normal circumstances, Tianji Pavilion would never take the initiative to deduce the whereabouts of a Great Emperor.

The Bagua Compass in the Diviner’s hand slowly floated before him. As he turned the compass, he fed Fu Qitian’s information into it, then added a drop of his own Blood Essence.

As the Blood Essence fell into the compass, Fu Qitian’s current location slowly emerged within it.

At almost the exact same moment, inside Myriad Dao Academy—

Fu Qitian suddenly opened his eyes, his expression turning extremely ugly. He had not expected that someone would actually dare to spy on him.

“Courting death!”

As soon as Fu Qitian spoke, the Bagua Compass before the Diviner instantly suffered a backlash from a terrifying force and exploded on the spot.

Even the Diviner had no time to dodge and was directly struck into serious injury.

“What!”

Everyone in the private room widened their eyes in disbelief. The most alarmed of all was the Steward, who had already secretly contacted the Pavilion Master to come over.

One had to know that the Diviner before them was a mighty expert of the Saint Monarch Realm. Ordinarily, no one below the Saint Emperor Realm should have been able to detect his divinatory probing. Yet now he had suffered such a severe backlash. Could it be that Fu Qitian had already broken through to the Saint Emperor Realm?

At that moment, the Diviner forced his weakened body to speak.

“Myriad Dao Academy. Fu Qitian is currently at Myriad Dao Academy.”

After saying that, the Diviner could no longer hold on. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

Almost the instant the Diviner lost consciousness, a ripple spread through the space inside the private room. Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man appeared before them. He wore a white robe with a Bagua Compass embroidered on the back, and his bearing was extraordinary.

The moment he saw the man, the Steward immediately cupped his hands and said respectfully,

“Greetings, Pavilion Master!”

The newcomer was none other than Bai Suantian, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion and likewise a supreme mighty expert at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

Bai Suantian waved his hand, then looked at the unconscious Diviner with a dark expression. With a flick of his finger, a stream of Spiritual Energy entered the Diviner’s body and stabilized his injuries.

Only after doing all that did Bai Suantian turn to Wu Wuji and Feng Qingyu, his expression still gloomy.

“What happened?”

The Steward did not dare hide anything and recounted everything that had happened earlier in full detail.

After hearing it, Bai Suantian snorted and looked at Wu Wuji and Feng Qingyu.

“This matter began because of the two of you. Should you not pay some price for it?”

Wu Wuji and Feng Qingyu’s expressions were equally ugly, tinged with fear. After all, the person before them was the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion.

“Senior Bai, the two of us truly did not know about this. After all, four years ago, Fu Qitian was only at the Peak of the Saint King Realm.”

“Hmph. This Venerable One does not care about any of that. Because of the two of you, a Diviner of my Tianji Pavilion has been severely injured. As punishment, hand over either a Spirit Treasure sufficient to heal him completely, or Spirit Liquid of equivalent value.”

Bai Suantian paid no attention to the reason. Since the Diviner of Tianji Pavilion had been injured because of Wu Wuji and Feng Qingyu, then naturally the consequences would be borne by them.

Wu Wuji clenched his teeth slightly and tried to bargain.

“Senior Bai, no matter what, we are people of Qingfeng Sacred Land. Why not give the Master of Qingfeng Sacred Land a little face and let us pay half?”

“There is no ‘why not.’ If you are unwilling, then feel free to have the Qingfeng Holy Lord come and negotiate with me.”

After confronting him for a while, Wu Wuji ultimately let out a sigh and said,

“So be it. Since the fault lies with us, then let this Spirit Liquid serve as compensation for this Diviner.”

With that, Wu Wuji tossed out a Storage Ring. Inside it was one thousand cubic meters of Low-Grade Spirit Liquid, and the loss nearly made his heart bleed.

Low-Grade Spirit Liquid was not especially precious to an expert of his level, but the quantity was simply too great. One thousand cubic meters was enough to nurture a cultivator all the way to the Peak of the Saint King Realm.

“Go.”

Bai Suantian took the Storage Ring and checked it. After confirming that the Spirit Liquid inside was enough to heal the Diviner completely, only then did he allow them to leave.

Wu Wuji and Feng Qingyu did not dare linger in the slightest and hurriedly left Tianji Pavilion.

After they had left, Bai Suantian finally looked at the Steward and said,

“Take Diviner Xue away and have him recuperate properly until he has fully recovered.”

After placing the Storage Ring onto Diviner Xue’s person, the Steward hurriedly left with him.

Only Bai Suantian remained inside the private room. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he wore a thoughtful expression.

“So he is at Myriad Dao Academy? Then it seems that the one who broke through to the Saint Emperor Realm at Myriad Dao Academy two years ago should have been Fu Qitian.”

“I truly did not expect that he would survive after falling into the hands of five Peak Saint Monarch Realm experts and even successfully break through to the Saint Emperor Realm.”

Naturally, he had known about the matter of someone at Myriad Dao Academy breaking through to the Saint Emperor Realm two years earlier. But after Fu Qitian broke through, he had left immediately, so even Tianji Pavilion had not known that it was Fu Qitian who had advanced to the Saint Emperor Realm.

Now that the two matters were put together, it was not difficult to guess that the newly ascended Saint Emperor had been Fu Qitian.

Still, Bai Suantian merely shook his head and did not dwell on it any further.

At this moment, inside Myriad Dao Academy—

“Someone spied on you?”

Fu Qitian stood before Lu Xunxian and seriously recounted what had just happened.

“Yes, but I do not know who it was.”

As he said this, a trace of shame appeared on Fu Qitian’s face.

But Lu Xunxian merely shook his head. He reached out and plucked a hair from Fu Qitian’s head. Forming a hand seal, he found out who had been spying on him in an instant.

“Someone from Tianji Pavilion? Interesting. Was it one of your enemies who went there to purchase information on you?”

There was a hint of amusement on Lu Xunxian’s face. Naturally, he knew of Tianji Pavilion, though he had no dealings with them.

Hearing that, Fu Qitian frowned slightly in confusion.

“That should not be the case. I have always treated others kindly. How could I possibly have so many enemies?”

“Ahem.”

Lu Xunxian could not help rolling his eyes at him.

If anyone else claimed to treat others kindly, Lu Xunxian would have believed it. But Fu Qitian? He did not believe it in the slightest.

If Fu Qitian had truly treated others kindly, then it would not have been possible for more than ten thousand cultivators to have died at his hands along the way.

“So, are you planning to go and settle scores now?”

Lu Xunxian asked for Fu Qitian’s thoughts, but Fu Qitian shook his head.

“No. Right now, I only want to remain by Master’s side and serve Master. As for everything else, let it be.”

At this moment, there was no longer Fu Qitian, The Strongest Below the Saint Emperor Realm. There was only Uncle Fu, Lu Xunxian’s loyal steward.

“So be it. As you wish.”

Since even Fu Qitian himself had nothing to say about it, Lu Xunxian naturally had even less reason to say anything.
