In Caiqi Square, looking at a gambler who had lost all his underwear and was taken away, Lao Du showed no expression on his face, but he was sneering in his heart:
Idiot, if you want to make a fortune here, you might as well expect your mother-in-law to be a fairy and descend to earth?
Although he is tempted to gamble on stones, he himself never gambles, even if the casino is open, he never touches it.
"Old man, here's the money for the procedure!"
At this time, a carefree young man came over and shouted loudly.
He was obviously just a mortal, but facing Lao Du, a cultivator, he had no respect at all.
Hehe smiled, and Lao Du was not angry. He was able to gain a foothold here all thanks to his uncle. Naturally, he didn't want to get angry with such a stupid young man who didn't know the heights of the world.
These days are getting more and more sad... Lao Du thought to himself.
Since secretly plotting against Xu Wen, he has never been to the ghost market, and he has never dared to leave Qingfeng City.
Not to mention that there was no progress at all in his cultivation, and his days were becoming more and more stretched.
After learning that Xu Wen had joined Li Xiuning, he was even more frightened day and night, fearing that the other party would come to his door.
I’ve stayed here for too long, and I’ll have to move to another place after receiving this payment!
Thinking in his mind, he slowly walked into the inner room, but instead of seeing the steward, there were a few unfamiliar faces standing there.
He was startled, and he immediately felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to use the magic weapon, a hand suddenly pressed his shoulder from behind.
"Click, click, click..."
The tyrannical mana surged out, and in a series of explosions, all the bones in his body were broken from his shoulder blades down.
"You...you are so brave, you dare to take action in Qingfeng City..."
The strong man was in great pain, and he roared loudly.
"Idiot, we are the city guards!"
With a sneer, Deng Mengnu slowly turned to him:
"You have committed a crime. You dare to collude with evil cultivators and attack the pioneering families of Qingfeng City. Under the orders of the city lord, I am here to send you on your way!"
"If you know something, tell everything and everyone honestly. It doesn't matter if you don't know..."
With a slight squeeze of his fist, the King Kong Barbie-like body suddenly made a series of crunchy sounds like fried beans:
"It's just a little troublesome..."
"I confess...I confess everything, give me pain..."
Just seeing Deng Mengnu's action, Lao Du started to tremble all over, with tears and snot flowing from his nose, and he screamed loudly.
The torture in the world of cultivation far exceeds that of ordinary people, and all kinds of unimaginable methods are enough to turn any tough guy into a slug.
An hour later, Liu Minghe slowly walked into Trinity Winery, sat down in front of the disguised Xu Wen, and whispered:
"It's been solved!"
This incident was entirely the result of Xu Wen's operation behind the scenes.
Now Lao Du is just a small role to Xu Wen. He doesn't even need to do it himself. He will just use the transmission talisman to pass the message to Liu Minghe.
It seemed that they had received the news that the golden elixir was about to arrive, and wanted to eliminate the bad feeling from the last fight for the foundation-building elixir. The Liu family was very cooperative.
He soon sued the city guards on the grounds that the other party had colluded with evil cultivators and attacked the pioneers, and easily captured him.
The owner of the Caiqi Workshop did not dare to stop him in any way, and it was impossible for him to have a conflict with the city guard because of an insignificant role.
In fact, this kind of crime can be considered serious or light.
The news about the Liu family's expansion of the base is not a top secret. Even if the other party doesn't pass it on, it can't be hidden from anyone who cares.
However, developing settlements is the general policy of Qingfeng City and even the entire Zhiyuan Clan. If you must adhere to the policy and dare to attack the pioneers, you are provoking the authority of the Zhiyuan Clan and can be executed.
Therefore, many times, it is not about whether the specific situation is serious, but about the person you are facing.
If it hadn't been for Xu Wen, the Liu family wouldn't have cared about Lao Du, a little person who delivered the news, let alone others, and the matter would have just passed away.
But after Xu Wen intervened, because of his status as an outer disciple of Zhiyuan Sect, because he had a foundation-building master, and because a Jindan Master from his lineage was coming...
Driven by many internal and external factors, Xu Wen easily crushed Lao Du to death without even making a move.
Thinking of this, Liu Minghe looked at Xu Wen with complicated eyes. The growth rate of his good friend made him feel unreal.
He has reached the sixth level of Qi refining and started as a casual cultivator. To reach this level of cultivation today, he is already able to stand out from his peers.
But in front of Xu Wen, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he doubted himself more than once. Did he spend so much time living on a dog?
This was already very helpless, but what was even more helpless was that even if he repeatedly recalled and reflected on himself, he did not think that he had slacked off at any time, and there was nothing wrong with him.
The gap is not scary. What is scary is that even though you have put in 100% effort, the gap between you and the opponent is still widening at an alarming rate.
Cultivation is only one aspect. Become a disciple of a foundation-building master, obtain a foundation-building elixir, and escape from a foundation-building master...
He never shows off his pride when facing his old friends, but he is decisive in the battle with the Liu family, and he can use his strength when fighting against Lao Du...
All of this made Liu Minghe feel deeply ashamed.
After calming down and getting rid of those irrelevant thoughts, he handed Xu Wen a storage bag and whispered:
"These are the things that belong to Lao Du. Senior Sister Deng is very open-minded. Let me bring them all to you!"
"Old Du confessed everything. He was the one who delivered the news about the ambush. However, he did not know the details of Zhang Xing."
"Senior Sister Deng judged that the other party should be a black glove from a certain family in the Zhiyuan Sect. She advises you not to delve into it..."
Liu Yubo did not come forward personally, but he seemed to know that this matter was related to Xu Wen, and specially sent Liu Minghe to participate in the whole process.
Xiao Konghe, who was in charge of the city guards, specifically avoided Qiu Yunchang's group and asked Deng Mengnu to come forward.
The whole thing was perfect, not a single touch was left untouched.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother Liu!"
Having lived two lives, Xu Wen could see the complexity in the other person's eyes, handed over a storage bag and said:
"There is some black pearl rice here, one for you, one for the Liu family, and one for Senior Sister Deng and the others..."
After a little inspection, Liu Minghe couldn't help but be startled when he saw so much black pearl rice.
The Liu family is already considered wealthy, but they rarely have the opportunity to eat this first-class black pearl rice, so they couldn't help but whisper:
"Junior Brother Xu, I still ask you to call you Junior Brother. This is too precious!"
"Although you have Master Uncle Li as your teacher, we are born as casual cultivators and don't have a strong foundation, so we should try to save as much as possible!"
"If the Liu family and Senior Sister Deng need anything, I will help you deliver it. I won't need my share..."
Hearing Liu Minghe's words, Xu Wen couldn't help but be moved.
Don’t forget your friends who are poor and humble, and don’t forget your poor friends. Friends made when you are rich may not be unreliable, but those close friends who will never leave you when you are poor and humble are obviously more precious.
Holding Liu Minghe's hand as he handed back the storage bag, he whispered:
"Senior Brother Liu, I have the numbers, just take them."
"Qingfeng City may not be very stable in the future. You must strive to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible and plan to build the foundation..."
