Chapter 2263 - 2255: It’s No Use Blaming Me
The next day, Huang Xiaolong summoned the Treasure Golden Pig and headed to the Logistics Hall.
When Zhang Wenyue heard Huang Xiaolong say he was going to the Logistics Hall, she pleaded with him, saying she wanted to go for a stroll too. Seeing the pleading look on Zhang Wenyue’s face, Huang Xiaolong had no choice but to nod.
This little girl has become more and more persistent lately.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong agree, Zhang Wenyue flashed a charming smile, and then rode on the Treasure Golden Pig with Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong was seated at the front, while Zhang Wenyue was behind him. Sitting behind Huang Xiaolong, looking at his broad back and feeling the masculine aura emanating from him, Zhang Wenyue’s heart raced like a deer and her breath became erratic.
These days, Huang Xiaolong had been feeding the Treasure Golden Pig ten Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Stones daily and some Gold Element Jade, so the Treasure Golden Pig’s speed had long surpassed its peak speed in the Lower Realm.
With the Treasure Golden Pig’s current speed, Huang Xiaolong could reach the Logistics Hall in three days.
"Have you been getting used to life at Ten Thousand Dragon Peak recently?" On the way, Huang Xiaolong asked Zhang Wenyue.
Huang Xiaolong named their current residence Ten Thousand Dragon Peak, after his Ten Thousand Dragon Divine State in the Lower Realm.
However, as Zhang Wenyue looked at Huang Xiaolong’s back, lost in thought, she didn’t hear what Huang Xiaolong asked.
Noticing the lack of response, Huang Xiaolong turned his head and saw Zhang Wenyue in a daze. He couldn’t help but ask, "Yue’er, are you okay?"
Zhang Wenyue came back to her senses, her beautiful eyes a bit flustered, and her charming face flushed, "I, I’m fine."
"I asked if you’ve been getting used to life at Ten Thousand Dragon Peak lately?" Huang Xiaolong inquired.
"I’m used to it, with you around, of course, I’m used to it." Zhang Wenyue blurted out, but immediately realized the "problem" with her words, quickly correcting herself: "No, I mean, as long as I’m with you, I’m comfortable."
But the more she explained, the more chaotic it became, making Zhang Wenyue’s face turn an even deeper shade of red with anxiety.
Huang Xiaolong let out a light-hearted chuckle.
"Young Master, you always know how to tease people." Zhang Wenyue huffed as she saw Huang Xiaolong laughing heartily.
Huang Xiaolong laughed, "How did I tease you? These days, haven’t I been treating you well?"
Emphasizing the word "tease", Huang Xiaolong hinted with a deeper tone.
Zhang Wenyue’s pretty face turned even redder, and she playfully waved her fist, lightly punching Huang Xiaolong.
So, the two of them chatted and laughed all the way, riding on the Golden Pig, soaring across the skies over the Holy Sect Headquarters.
As they passed by some spiritual peaks belonging to other Holy Sect Disciples, those disciples were about to stop Huang Xiaolong for questioning. But upon seeing the Saint Son Brocade Robe on Huang Xiaolong, they were startled and quickly backed away.
"Could he be our Holy Sect’s new Saint Heir named Huang Xiaolong?" one disciple asked another.
"It should be him; I’ve seen all the other Saint Heirs," another disciple shook his head, "This Huang Xiaolong is not long for this world; he’s not focusing on cultivation and has the leisure to accompany a woman!"
"I heard that the elders refused to take him as a disciple, leading him to despair and give up, choosing the Desolate God Mountain Range as his palace residence. It’s no wonder he’s idly wandering with a woman now."
Three days later, Huang Xiaolong arrived at the Logistics Hall.
The Holy Sect Headquarters consists of thirty-six halls in total, with the Logistics Hall being one of the top ten main halls. As one of the top ten, the Logistics Hall’s architecture is grand and imposing, appearing in the distance like a vast city.
Within the city, people bustled about, including Inner Sect Disciples, Outer Disciples, and some of the Saint Heirs’ subordinates.
As Huang Xiaolong’s subordinate like Zhang Wenyue, although she couldn’t wander freely throughout the Holy Sect Headquarters, there were still many places she could come and go, quite freely.
With strange looks from the crowd, the Treasure Golden Pig stopped in front of the main gate of the Logistics Hall, and Huang Xiaolong and Zhang Wenyue dismounted.
"Greetings to Saint Heir!"
Seeing the Saint Son Brocade Robe on Huang Xiaolong, regardless of whether they were Inner Sect Disciples, Outer Disciples, or subordinates of the Saint Heirs, they all hurriedly greeted and bowed.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, allowing the people to rise.
After Huang Xiaolong went far away, the disciples gathered their heads together, whispering incessantly.
Apparently, the disciples were extremely curious about the "useless" Saint Heir, Huang Xiaolong.
After entering the Logistics Hall, Huang Xiaolong headed directly to the side hall to receive supplies.
Todays responsible for distributing items at the Logistics Hall was a High-level Deacon named Chen Mao. Upon hearing that Huang Xiaolong came to collect Refined Ore Jade and Spirit Pills to build a cave palace, Chen Mao’s face became hesitant, and he wore a bitter expression.
"What’s the matter?" Huang Xiaolong raised an eyebrow.
Chen Mao quickly explained, "Huang Xiaolong Saint Heir, it’s not that I don’t want to give you the Refined Ore Jade and Spirit Pills for your cave palace, but last month, Huang Zhouping Saint Heir already collected all the Refined Ore Jade and Spirit Pills meant for you!"

"What? Huang Zhouping took my things?!" Huang Xiaolong’s face turned cold, his eyes filled with anger, "Who gave you the order to let Huang Zhouping take my things?"
Chen Mao quickly spoke, "Huang Xiaolong Saint Heir, even if you gave me ten thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare hand your things over to Huang Zhouping Saint Heir. This was a direct order from our Logistics Hall Master, and they said Elder Xu Jun approved it. I can’t defy orders from Elder Xu Jun and our Hall Master!"
Huang Xiaolong’s face darkened, "Elder Xu Jun and your Hall Master’s orders? Xu Jun and your Hall Master dared to touch my things?!"
According to the Holy Sect’s rules, even as an elder, Xu Jun does not have the authority to use items due to a Saint Heir.
Chen Mao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Huang Zhouping requested Elder Xu Jun, saying his subordinates were too many and needed to build a new cave palace, needing some Refined Ore Spirit Jade, claiming your batch of Refined Ore Spirit Jade would be wasted, so it might as well be used by him. So, Elder Xu Jun and several other elders agreed."
Elder Xu Jun and several others were undoubtedly those who supported the Holy Alliance.
Huang Xiaolong sneered, "What about the other elders? Don’t they know?"
"That, I don’t know." Chen Mao replied.
Huang Xiaolong laughed coldly, knowing it was fake if others claimed ignorance; they likely believed in the inevitability of his death in the Holy Platform’s battle, making it wasteful to use this batch of Refined Ore Spirit Jade, so they tacitly allowed Huang Zhouping’s request.
"Heh, Huang Xiaolong, what a coincidence, you’re here too!" At this point, a mocking voice sounded, and Huang Zhouping appeared with a group of people entering the hall.
At the time, Song Shaokang, the former Young Sect Master of Beast Emperor Sect, also followed behind Huang Zhouping, clearly having successfully joined Huang Zhouping as his backer.
"Huang Xiaolong, are you here to collect that batch of Refined Ore Spirit Jade? Sorry, I needed to build a new cave, so I used your batch," Huang Zhouping entered with a smile, "You won’t blame me, right? But Elder Xu Jun and several elders approved this, so blaming me won’t do you any good!"
