Chapter 2061 Letting Go (Second Update)
The Book Pavilion was aware of the cause and effect of the whole incident, but they did not object because there was no need and they had no position to do so.
This is how most of the supernatural forces act. There are too many injustices in the world, how can they control them all?
Tianyu Zhenxian's actions were just a little more aggressive, but aren't all big forces like this? Not to mention that he was trying to please the Book Pavilion.
However, if Qu Jianlei wanted to ask, Master Yulin could hesitate for a moment and then answer frankly.
Is this considered betrayal? She really didn't consider it. The library always emphasizes "nothing can be hidden from others", so it was not a big deal.
"I don't know where it came from..." Qu Jianlei's face darkened. "Didn't we capture that Jindan?"
Immortal Yulin was not in a position to answer this question and could only look at Immortal Tianyu.
Tianyu Zhenxian spread his hands and said innocently, "That guy is very stubborn. There is a 99% chance that the stone came from a bad place."
After a pause, he added, "It's just that the demon invasion is imminent, so I can't be too harsh."
This is what shows his vision - although I may be a bit overbearing in doing things, I have a sense of the overall situation and I am a good person.
Qu Jianlei glanced at him and was too lazy to respond, but looked at Immortal Yulin again.
"After all this talk, the Book Pavilion doesn't have similar items for trading?"
"My library has countless treasures," Immortal Yulin replied solemnly, "but is the trade... with your techniques?"
The library is not short of spirit stones and various resources, and the treasures in its collection will not flow out easily unless there is an urgent need.
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "If you would like to give up interfering in Fellow Daoist Tianyu's affairs, it is not impossible to discuss it."
When he said this, he didn't even look at Tianyu Zhenxian.
Tianyu Zhenxian's face darkened visibly.
Immortal Yulin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Ordinarily, Daoist Tianyu is helping my library, but this matter..."
"That's just what we say," Qu Jianlei interrupted the other party flatly without giving him any face.
"And even if you are unwilling to trade, we still have to settle the account with Fellow Daoist Tianyu!"
Immortal Yulin's expression was also a little ugly. She had never seen anyone who was so disrespectful to the Book Pavilion.
The key is the twenty-five rules... What kind of evil thing did Tianyu do?
She was still pondering, and Zhang Lidong couldn't stand it anymore. "It was just an attempt, what loss did you suffer? Don't go there again!"
Logically speaking, his status and accomplishment were inferior to Master Yulin, so he had no right to speak like that on decision-making issues.
However, he had long had a prejudice against Kun Xiu and felt that he should not be so weak, let alone indecisive.
"I knew it would be like this," Qu Jianlei snorted, "Then let me ask you a question... I am so proud of myself, so what?"
“You want to…” Zhang Lidong raised his eyebrows and was about to attack, but he heard Immortal Yulin snort coldly.
"That's enough, I'm talking, don't interrupt!"
She looked at Qu Jianlei and spoke slowly, "Shu Ge can take over this cause and effect, or let it go... I have only one request."
"I want to know, what is your origin? Even if I give in, I should know who I am giving this favor to, right?"
Qu Jianlei blinked his eyes and said, "I don't reveal my origins for the sake of everyone else. I wonder if Master Yulin believes it or not?"
Hearing this, another Yuanying in the Book Pavilion couldn't stand it anymore, "Daoyou, your offense to my Book Pavilion... is too much!"
"I don't know whose influence you are relying on, but do you believe that we can stop you from leaving right now?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head decisively, "I don't believe it!"
"You can give it a try," said the Immortal Thousand Hands expressionlessly, "The Book Pavilion has a great reputation, and we want to see it for ourselves."
The male Yuanying laughed angrily, "Are you relying on your numbers? Do you believe that in Daye City, we can summon at least thirty Yuanying!"
"I don't quite believe it," a voice sounded outside, and then a figure rose up.
The figure was wearing a mask, hanging in the air, letting the rain fall on him. "Try to see if you can summon it!"
When Qu Jianlei saw the figure, he was startled at first, then shook his head with a smile, "This... is too careless, isn't it?"
The figure was none other than Daye City Lord Huo Jiujian. He wore a mask casually, which did not conceal his aura at all.
Even this mask is ineffective in preventing spiritual detection.
"The form is important," the masked man replied seriously, "Since I wear a mask, I am concealing my identity."
The Star Palace is in charge of all daily affairs of the continent and is a worldly force, while the Four Sacred Mountains focus on leaving the world.
The relationship between the two is to try not to interfere with each other, but both are forces that maintain the stability of the Cangwu world, and mainly cooperate with each other.
However, it is easy to guess that in such a cooperation where each party acts independently, there will inevitably be unclear responsibilities and rights.
Now that Huo Jiujian can appear in public, it clearly proves this point.
"City Lord Huo," Tianyu Zhenxian also recognized the figure. His grandson-in-law was the City Lord of Xinhua City, and the two had met more than three or five times.
The relationship between the two city lords is average, but within the scope of their power, they can give each other some convenience.
However, the relationship between Tianyu Zhenxian and Huo Jiujian is very ordinary. After all, they are relatives of Xinhua City and cannot easily reach out to other people's territory.
"I'm not City Lord Huo," the figure in the air said calmly, "I'm wearing a mask. You've made a mistake."
"I just heard that someone could gather thirty Nascent Souls in Daye City. I really don't believe it."
If others say they don't believe it, then that's a bit of an argument. If the book pavilion shows its reputation, it can recruit many Nascent Souls locally.
However, the Nascent Souls of some forces believe that they are too far away from the Book Pavilion and may not be so proactive. No one likes to curry favor with someone they don’t like.
For example, the Five Friends Alliance, if they have no relevant interests, will not pay attention to the bounty offered by the Star Hall, let alone actively respond to it.
But if the City Lord's Mansion steps in to coordinate, then that won't be a problem. Thirty to fifty Nascent Souls are really no big deal.
However, if the City Lord's Mansion clearly expresses its lack of support, it will not only affect the neutral forces, but also stop some of those who want to help.
Although the library is mysterious and powerful, since ancient times, the county magistrate has always been inferior to the current one.
So Huo Jiujian is truly qualified to say this - if you don’t believe me, try it!
Upon hearing this, Tianyu Zhenxian was speechless. Even if he had a wide range of connections, could he be a match for Daye City's number one local tyrant?
Even if the mayor of Xinhua City came in person, he would have no choice but to accept it.
"Brother Jiujian is still as naughty as ever," Immortal Yulin finally spoke up, "The last time we met was fifty years ago, right?"
"It's better not to see you," the masked man said calmly, "You've drunk too much, and you're really good at hitting people... Leave now."
He did not deny it this time and even provided supporting evidence, but as I said, the nature of the incident is different when the mask is put on.
Many times, form is more important than truth.
Immortal Yulin asked in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Mask, is this the force you support?"
"I don't know him at all," Huo Jiujian denied very straightforwardly, "but the demon invasion is imminent, why don't we all disperse?"
Immortal Yulin looked at him and asked calmly, "Daoyou Tianyu and his group can also leave, right?"
"Anyone can leave if they want," the masked man answered simply, "but once you leave, your life and death are your own responsibility."
"I would rather take my own life and death responsibility!" The detained burly immortal said, "It's better than to bear this resentment."
"Hu Shukui, I advise you to respect yourself," Huo Jiujian pointed out directly, "Don't think your sworn brother can protect you. He will be implicated by you!"
Upon hearing this, the burly immortal fell silent and his expression changed slightly.
He was indeed arrogant and stubborn, but his IQ was fine and he understood the other person's hidden meaning.
Lord Huo not only said that he could not rely on his brother, he also pointed out vaguely that even if you hide, your brother will be angered!
Although Master Yulin was full of scholarly airs, he also understood the meaning of these words, "Then the three of us will leave..."
"Just leave," the masked man replied calmly, "There is no cause and effect in the first place, who dares to provoke the library?"
Enough face was given between the words, but the subtext was also very clear - I advise you not to be involved in cause and effect, and it is better to withdraw on your own initiative.
Master Yulin blinked, then nodded slowly, "Oh, so that's how it is... Then let's go."
"But..." Tianyu Zhenxian couldn't help but speak out, but he unexpectedly saw a pair of cold eyes looking at him.
That gaze was extremely sharp, and carried with it an indescribable pressure. Master Yulin...is this person not far from leaving his body?
Tianyu Zhenxian withdrew his gaze and met the masked man's gaze again.
There was no expression in the masked man's eyes, but he seemed to be saying: Why don't you try running?
How could Tianyu Zhenxian run away? Because he knew too well how powerful the lord of a city was in the local area!
In his grandson-in-law's territory, he dared to take the initiative to step forward and say hello even if they were people from the Four Sacred Mountains.
But now, he was already unable to defeat this group of people, and Shu Ge had left. Facing the protection of City Lord Huo, how could he run away?
Even if he could run away, he would be in endless trouble. Hu Shukui was his good friend, so how could he not know who his sworn brother was?
If Huo Jiujian dared to warn Hu Shukui, then the level of danger of this gang of people might even threaten his grandson-in-law!
Moreover, even if he could run away, the Xinhua City Lord would not be angered, so these four friends who came to help... are they going to be trapped here?
He could not afford these consequences, and he sighed.
"No matter how wrong it is, it's all my fault. Just come at me. My friend is innocent!"
At this moment, a wave of spiritual consciousness came from the air, and the body of the masked man in the air stiffened slightly.
"Brother, don't worry," Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "I'll go see what's going on."
His aura may not be as good as that of a serious cultivator, but if it comes to spiritual awareness... the team has never been afraid of anyone.
He had already sensed this divine consciousness, which meant that the three people from the library had not gone far.
About a hundred kilometers away, Immortal Yulin sent a message to Huo Jiujian, as if he wanted to say something.
