Chapter 1911 Survival Wisdom
Zhao Sanshui's face darkened when he heard this. "What do you mean, Daoist Chaoyun?"
The paranoid man said rudely, "Where we come from is none of your business, Zhao family!"
"You know I'm being presumptuous, but you still want to ask. What? Do you think Hongyeling is easy to bully?"
"You..." Zhao Sanshui was really anxious and angry. How dare you speak to my Zhao family's Nascent Soul like that?
"Do less things that offend others," the paranoid man picked up the teacup and spoke slowly.
"The time has come. The Zhao family has a long history and must have accumulated a lot of secret manuals. I hope they don't give us a reason to take action!"
Zhao Sanshui stood up slowly and asked solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Chaoyun, are your words... a threat?"
"Whatever you say," the paranoid man replied nonchalantly, "it was your Zhao family who took the initiative to come here, right?"
"I am much more docile now. If you had met me hundreds of years ago... Tsk!"
"Okay, okay," Zhao Sanshui nodded, "I, Zhao Sanshui, will take note of what you said, fellow Taoist."
"Get out!" The paranoid man waved his hand and said rudely, "If you say one more word, you won't be able to leave!"
"..." Although Zhao Sanshui really had no intention of offending anyone, he was still very angry about this sentence.
He raised his finger and pointed at the other person, but really didn't say a word, then turned and walked away.
"Hmph," the paranoid snorted coldly, thinking that with such little courage, he didn't even know why he went to someone else's house to show off.
Zhao Sanshui arrived at the mountain gate, called his family to leave together, got on the flying boat and left without even saying goodbye.
The Zhao family also knew that an accident had occurred, but seeing the ancestor's face turn pale, no one dared to ask questions.
The flying boat arrived at Yanjia Market, and everyone left directly through the teleportation array without saying hello to the Yan family.
Ordinarily this is a very rude behavior, but everyone knows that the ancestor is in a bad mood, so who dares to remind him?
It was not until they were teleported to the Zhao family in Nanwan that Zhao Sanshui's expression relaxed and he snorted coldly, "How courageous."
A Jindan Zhenren asked carefully, "Ancestor, from now on, when we attack Hongye Ridge..."
Zhao Sanshui snorted, "Others already know that we didn't reach an agreement with Hongyeling. That's enough."
He had already thought about the follow-up response on the way.
"As for the future...stay as far away from Red Leaf Ridge as possible. Don't provoke them. Do you understand?"
You already know that the other party is not easy to deal with, so if you put your own family members at risk, isn't that stupid?
As for Chao Yun's insult to him just now, he took note of it, but that was all he took note of.
Whether or not to retaliate in the future depends on the situation. If necessary, it is not impossible to turn enemies into friends.
As long as the family can continue and grow stronger, the honor and disgrace of myself as a Nascent Soul... is it important?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again, "It's really frustrating. Remember... being weak is the original sin."
At the same time, Yan family's great ancestor Yan Jinhai came out of seclusion again.
He was very surprised by the recent news, "Did Hongyeling really fall out with the Zhao family?"
This is a big deal. The Yan family can't afford to offend either of these two families.
The worst thing is that Hongyeling has never liked fighting outside, so the battlefield will have to be on the Yan family’s territory.
With such a big event happening, it’s no wonder that Tai Shang, who was in seclusion, was invited out again.
"It's definitely not pleasant," Yan Xuemin answered carefully, "It's OK that the Zhao family came in a hurry, but the problem is that they left in a hurry too."
Yan Jinhai hesitated for a moment and said, "This time, the Zhao family can escape unscathed..."
"Hongyeling does things in an orderly manner," Yan Xuemin has a relatively clear understanding of the group's style of doing things.
"The key is that the Zhao family's actions are unpredictable. I think the family should be prepared in advance to avoid being affected."
"Is that so?" Yan Jinhai pondered...
At the same time, the paranoid man called Wu Laoliu over. He wanted to find out what the other party had done wrong.
Qu Jianlei also lowered his spiritual consciousness. He didn't want to know before because he didn't want to cause trouble, but now trouble has come to him.
Wu Laoliu was filled with grief and indignation. "My Lords, my real name is indeed Wu Minxi, but I was wronged in the matter of Baiyao Valley..."
Before this, he was making a living near the Seven Stars Sect. Although he was a casual cultivator, he had some skills and was willing to hang out near the sect.
The sect forces look down on independent cultivators, but the exclusion is not strong. It is more difficult for independent cultivators to survive within the scope of family influence.
Wu Minxi had gained a certain amount of fame with his appraisal skills, and was occasionally able to buy good things at low prices, so he was doing pretty well.
One day, a Jindan from the Seven Stars Sect came with a broken jade slip and asked him to identify it.
When Wu Minxi identified it, he was shocked to find that it was the "Seven Star Resurrection Needle Book".
He didn't dare to lie to the real person from the Seven Stars Gate, but telling the truth also involved considerable risks.
The Seven Star Resurrection Technique is an ancient secret technique that can keep a dying person alive until rescue arrives.
This kind of secret art that is related to life will be fought over wherever it goes.
And the secret book is called Seven Stars, but... it may not belong to the Seven Stars Sect.
"The Southern Dipper governs life, and the Northern Dipper governs death." This saying is not limited to the Seven Stars Gate.
Wu Minxi is always very careful when making appraisals. As a casual cultivator, he must be more vigilant.
There were times when he could take advantage of opportunities, but that was when he was facing a low-level cultivator. Taking advantage of someone like him was like thinking he had lived too long.
The Seven Stars Sect Master saw his hesitation and told him to just tell the truth.
It's really an incredible treasure. Considering your professional level, I'll talk to the sect and hire you as a guest official.
Wu Minxi dreams of being associated with the Chilsing Gate. Who wouldn't want to enter the system?
Moreover, he no longer had to worry about the young cultivator whom he had cheated before coming back to him.
He told the truth, but felt it was inappropriate, so to be on the safe side, he quietly left his home.
Wu Minxi's decision turned out to be correct. The next afternoon, the real person from the Seven Stars Gate came to him happily.
Wu Minxi, who was hiding in the dark, was completely frightened when he saw this scene and quietly left the market that night.
The paranoid man was a little puzzled. "He came to you in such a happy mood. Could it be that he has become your guest official?"
Wu Laoliu replied expressionlessly, "The Seven Star Sect has always been very slow in dealing with independent cultivators."
"Even if this person is an exception, if it's good news, he wouldn't come to me so soon... Wouldn't it be better to delay for a while and extort some money?"
The paranoid man was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he sighed, "You usually... spend your time thinking about these things?"
However, Wu Laoliu's later experience proved that his caution did save his life.
When Wu Minxi slipped away, he didn't even dare to use the teleportation array. His body ran for more than 3,000 kilometers before he stopped and hid.
More than a year later, he disguised himself and went to a market town to get some information.
It turned out that on the third day after he escaped, a wanted order was issued in the market town of Qixingmen, saying that Wu Minxi had committed a serious crime.
As for the specific crime, the Seven Stars Gate did not say, but the reward was offered, probably to force him into a desperate situation.
Many years later, new news came out that Wu Minxi had stolen the treasure that had been appraised.
Many years passed before it was finally determined by Baiyao Valley that he had stolen the "Seven Star Resurrection Acupuncture Book" from the valley.
At this time, he had settled in Zhujiafang City, claiming to be a weapon refiner, and also took on some weapon refining jobs.
As for the fact that his equipment refining skills were not very high and were even slightly inferior to those of some foundation-building cultivators, that was inevitable.
From childhood to adulthood, this is not his specialty. The consequences of using his hobby to challenge the jobs of professionals can be imagined.
Moreover, even if he could improve his equipment refining skills after careful study, the problem was... did he dare?
So it is really... a necessity for him to come out and play the role of a robbery cultivator occasionally!
After he finished speaking, he spoke indignantly.
"The secret book of Baiyao Valley was lost in the market of Qixingmen. How could I have done such a big thing?"
The next moment, a figure flashed and it was Qu Jianlei.
He looked at Wu Laoliu and asked thoughtfully, "In other words, you provoked the second of the Five Shangmen?"
"I think so," Wu Laoliu hesitated and nodded reluctantly, "but I really don't have the secret book."
"You..." Claire shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You are really capable of getting into trouble."
She didn't think that Wu Laoliu had the guts to deceive everyone. If he really dared to do that, let alone the consequences, could he get past Master Jiao?
"How can this be called a disaster?" Wu Laoliu sighed and spread his hands helplessly, "It's just that when you are in the market, disaster comes from the sky."
Qu Jianlei asked calmly, "Have you figured out the details?"
If it's just Baiyao Valley, the team won't have to worry about it, but if we add the Seven Star Gate, it might be a bit difficult.
The key is that it involves two of the five visitors, and it is really hard to say how the other three will react.
"The specific details..." Wu Laoliu hesitated before speaking, "I did ask around, and it seems to be something from Baiyao Valley."
He really didn't want to be wronged. Even though he knew it was impossible to overturn the verdict with his own strength, he still wanted to remain innocent.
However, there are also great risks in inquiring about related information, as it is too easy to be exposed.
Driven by hatred, over the years, he learned bit by bit that this secret book should really have come from Baiyao Valley.
Therefore, the reaction of the Seven Stars Sect master was very easy to understand—he wanted to keep the secret book for himself!
Claire asked again curiously, "Then why didn't you tell Baiyao Valley?"
"You are still young," Wu Laoliu shook his head helplessly. He knew that the other party was not very old and was willing to explain seriously.
"Do you think all forces are like your team, united in purpose?"
"First of all, whether Baiyao Valley can trust me is a question... I am just a casual cultivator."
"Secondly, it is hard to say whether there is anyone in Baiyao Valley who is connected with Qixingmen. Otherwise, how could the secret book be leaked out?"
"Finally, even if Baiyao Valley finds out the truth, how will the two clans deal with me in order not to affect their relationship?"
Claire was stunned for a moment before she shook her head, "This is really... boring!"
