In the room, Mu Qing looked at Murong Xing and asked, "This is what you will provide. So, what do you want the City Lord's Mansion to provide you?"
Murong Xing glanced at Cao Jin next to him and said: "If you want the blockade outside Suzaku City to be lifted quickly, you must get the support of Baidi City. Of course, I am not asking you to accept any recognition, but you must let the person from Baidi City , I feel that the situation is still under control.”
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Just tell me your request directly."
"We hope to have Cao Jin serve as the deputy city lord of Zhuque City. This is a symbol of stability for all parties."
Murong Xing saw Mu Qing frown and added: "Cao Jin will not manage anything in the city. He is mainly responsible for contacting Baidi City so that Suzaku City still belongs to the imperial dynasty."
Mu Qing looked at Cao Jin and asked seriously: "If Suzaku City still belongs to the imperial dynasty, can I understand that it is in name only?"
Cao Jin did not face Mu Qing's problem directly, but said in a roundabout way: "The emperor will think that Suzaku City belongs to the dynasty, and you will think that Suzaku City belongs to you. This is what I want to do."
"The emperor's suspicion is probably not enough to prompt you to do this." Mu Qing said without much expression on his face, "Tell me what you want."
Cao Jin's gray eyebrows trembled slightly. He glanced at the people around Mu Qing, and after a moment of hesitation, he said: "First, I want to wait until Suzaku City is stabilized to absorb the condensed power of luck."
Mu Qing's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.
"Second, I hope to get a secret thunder technique from you. Of course, you can divide it into several parts and give them to me slowly as you did before."
Mu Qing raised his brows, "I do have the secret technique of thunder magic here, but you have never been exposed to thunder magic before, why are you more interested in this?"
The lonely look in Cao Jin's eyes flashed away, and he replied: "The process of practicing thunder method is the process of tempering one's body."
Mu Qing didn't know how long Cao Jin had lived, but Cao Jin was still trapped in the early stage of transcending the world for so many years, and he had probably reached the end of his own efforts.
Mu Qing pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "I can give you a secret thunder technique, but I cannot agree to your first condition for the time being."
The smile on Cao Jin's face was a little stiff, "Why? Since you have mastered that kind of cultivation method, you should know that if a city with a huge population like Suzaku City develops steadily, the power of luck it can gather will be It is extremely majestic, no matter how much I absorb and refine by myself, it will not affect the flow of the city's own destiny."
Mu Qing looked sideways at Cao Jin, "Then you mean that you will always absorb the power of luck to refine Suzaku City from now on?"
Cao Jin frowned deeply and tried to explain: "This is the way I have always practiced. If it is not in Baidi City, the stabilized Suzaku City is the best choice. So I will also work to stabilize this city. "
Cao Jin didn't know what Mu Qing was thinking about. He was actually a little worried, because although the luck in Baidi City was more majestic than that in Zhuque City, it was also more complicated. The reason why he stayed in the ancestral temple before was because It is also because the power of luck gathered in the ancestral temple will be much purer. It can be said that if you cannot enter the ancestral temple, even if you can return to the palace in Baidi City, it will not be as good as the stabilized Suzaku City.
Mu Qing's silence made Cao Jin finally unable to bear it any longer. He gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, "If you have any doubts, you can stay next to me when I absorb the power of refining luck for the first time, so that you can I can intuitively know that my practice alone will never affect the flow of luck in this city."
Mu Qing's eyes were a little strange. He had planned to tell the women closest to him several times about Meng Zhang's secret, but every time he was either troubled by bigger troubles or there was no suitable time.
Therefore, the matter with Meng Zhang is still something that only he knows. Even Ye Yun, whose safety is unknown in the distance, only knows that there is a mysterious vortex sealed in Mu Qing's body, and does not know about Mu Qing. During the days when he was separated from her, he had already established an extremely deep connection with the existence in the vortex.
Mu Qing wanted to say that he didn't need the power of luck, but Meng Zhang did.
But when he spoke, he said: "Let's do this. I have already felt that the power of destiny in Suzaku City is beginning to gather. When the time is right, I will come to you for confirmation."
Although Cao Jin was surprised that Mu Qing could feel the flow of luck so early, he was still more concerned about Mu Qing's reluctance. He showed Mu Qing what he thought was a kind smile: "Then I will wait for the call of the city lord at any time. ”
Murong Xing waited until Cao Jin finished talking about it, then stood up. He glanced at Murong Yun and said to everyone: "I have no intention of staying to listen to other people's ideas. If you want to contact us next time, you can come to us at any time. We're right here...well, Huai Cao Shi knows where we are."
Huai Caoshi frowned, but before he could say anything, Murong Xing left everyone with his back and strode away from here.
"My second brother, I feel refreshed today." Murong Yun looked away and said with a smile.
Mu Qing looked at Murong Yun. He knew that Murong Yun was still here, so naturally he would not have nothing to talk about, but he still couldn't help but be curious: "I didn't have access to much information about Hidden Valley's senior management before, but only the information that has been circulated , it seems impossible for you to sit here so kindly."
Murong Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to recall the past. He shook his head for a moment and sighed softly, saying: "It is true that he left because he failed to compete with me for the position of the head of the family, but it would not be a problem if the brothers became enemies over this."
Murong Yun looked out the window and seemed to be seeing the figure walking out of the door, "His original thoughts were much more intense than what he said today. He wanted to turn Hidden Valley from a killer as its main business into a force in one step. A force that exists in broad daylight. As big brother is here, his departure is actually inevitable."
"Tell me the reason why you are still here, Murong Valley Master." Huaicao Shi said with a cold face. Although she hated Murong Xing, she didn't like to hear others talking about each other behind their backs.
Murong Yun maintained enough respect for Huaicao Shi, his sister-in-law-to-be, and glanced at Huaifenghua next to Huaicao Shi, then looked at Mu Qing and said, "I am here to tell you three things."
"Tell? Not cooperate?"
They have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Murong Xing, and Mu Qing doesn't mind cooperating with Murong Yun. Perhaps, as Wang Yeqing said, it is not certain that the forces represented by Hidden Valley and Murong Xing can form a more stable state with Suzaku City.
Murong Yun shook his head and smiled, looked at Mu Qing and said, "The first one is related to you, but I made it clear in the lobby not long ago."
Mu Qing's eyes moved, "Am I leaving Hidden Valley from today on?"
"Yes." Murong Yun looked at Jiang Shangxiu beside him. Jiang Shangxiu took out three seals made of special materials, "But we still have to complete the last process. This is the oath you left when you joined Hidden Valley. Now I Returning it to you means that from now on, Hidden Valley will no longer have any constraints on you, either in fact or in form."
Murong Yun stood up, and Mu Qing also stood up with a serious look on his face.
The twelve years in Hidden Valley were twelve years that Mu Qing did not want to recall, but the experiences of these twelve years had already been burned into his flesh and blood and became an important part of his life.
Murong Yun picked up the first affidavit from Jiang Shangxiu and handed it to Mu Qing wordlessly throughout the process.
Mu Qing lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a moment. The oath was dark in color, thicker than ordinary paper, and thinner than fur. It was just about the size of a palm, and looked very much like the withered yellow look of the fallen leaves of those broad trees when they began to rot.
Mu Qing sensed the familiar breath in the seal and activated a ray of true energy. The seal quickly turned bright red. The breath quickly dissipated after sensing the true energy, and the seal quickly returned to its original darkness.
"You must have guessed that this oath is related to the oath imposed on you. I know you may not need this thing, but now it can be considered a beginning and an end."
Mu Qing nodded and looked at Jiang Shangxiu's hand, "There are two oaths left?"
Murong Yun smiled and shook his head, "There is only one oath left."
He turned sideways and looked at Wang Yeqing. Wang Yeqing seemed to have expected this result. He also stood up and came to Mu Qing's side. Facing Murong Yun, he finally shouted: "Valley Master."
Murong Yun smiled slightly, took the oath from Jiang Shangxiu's hand and put it into Wang Yeqing's hand, "Mrs. Wang was Zhu Yeqing of the Assassin's Heavenly Ranking in the past, but you will be yourself in the future. I hope we can still be friends."
Wang Yeqing responded with a polite smile. Her success in breaking through to transcendence actually meant that she was no longer bound by this Taoist contract. However, it was obvious that this kind of breakaway relationship, acknowledged by the Valley Master himself, was something that made both parties comfortable. matter.
When the oath in Wang Yeqing's hand also turned dark for a moment, the remaining people in the room all turned their attention to Jiang Shangxiu's hand.
This last one really doesn't look like an oath. Although the shape and size are similar, the color on it is an extremely stable golden color. It's not dazzling or dull. You can just feel the stability flowing on it. With its luster, everyone can appreciate a trace of solemnity and nobility.
Mu Qing frowned, as if thinking of something, and turned his head to look at Huaifenghua.
Huaifenghua's eyes fell on Jiang Shangxiu's hands with complicated expressions.
Murong Yun did not try to be mysterious. He picked up the piece of stuff from Jiang Shangxiu's hand and walked straight to Huaifenghua.
Huaifenghua didn't stand up until now. She frowned at Murong Yun and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Murong Yun seemed to have guessed that Huaifenghua would react like this. He smiled slightly and said sincerely: "Twelve years ago, Wanhua Valley was merged into Hidden Valley and officially became the lineage of pharmacists. You and I made this happen. Then after twelve years, this relationship should be ended by me and you."
Murong Yun held up the piece with both hands, turned his head and looked at the crowd and said: "This is a piece of promise book, specially used to record and prove important contracts. The longer the cause and effect arising from the contract exists in it, the longer its color will be. It will become brighter and brighter.”
Murong Yun looked down at the promise book in his hand, with a bit more emotion in his voice: "Twelve years, for my monastic career, may only be as long as the realization of the secret chamber, but for you, it is already the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. The twelve spring and autumn cycles of heaven and earth."
"Now I hand over this promise to you. From now on, Ten Thousand Flowers Valley will no longer be the lineage of Hidden Valley's pharmacists."
"And my relationship with you can also be relieved."
"Relief?"
Huaifenghua lowered her head and looked at the letter of promise in Murong Yun's hand. After being silent for a while, she finally took the letter of promise into her hand. Murong Yun should have terminated the contract in the letter of promise, so after Huaifenghua mobilized her true energy, , your promise quickly dimmed, as dark as an inkstone.
"Hoo~"
Murong Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Huaifenghua in front of him, and showed a relieved smile: "That's good, we no longer have a subordinate relationship."
Huaifenghua frowned slightly, raised his head and said: "Wanhua Valley has been relying on the channels of Hidden Valley for the past twelve years. If you leave rashly, you will lose a lot of alchemy materials, and you will also lose a huge number of peripheral disciples. support."
"Alchemy materials..." The first face that came to Murong Yun's mind was actually Murong Xing's face. He shook his head and glanced at Chen Zhuo, "Whether it is the materials for alchemy or some of the equipment cultivated by elixirs, they have always been used before." It was all contacted by Youquan Mansion, so you can still maintain this kind of cooperation."
Chen Zhuo nodded, patted his chest and said, "Master Huai Valley, please rest assured. Moreover, since the Mountain Moving Gang has done such a big thing, our Quan Mansion will definitely take action. There will never be a shortage of Wanhua Valley." Miraculous elixir.”
Huaifenghua glanced at Murong Yun carefully, and after a moment she sighed softly: "Let's sit down and talk."
After Murong Yun sat back to his original position, Huaifenghua, who had already thought about it, asked directly: "The peripheral disciples of Wanhua Valley, their identities have always belonged to Hidden Valley, what are your plans?"
Murong Yun said: "The Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers has accumulated a lot of wealth for Hidden Valley over the years. These disciples will naturally leave Hidden Valley along with the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers."
Chen Zhuo on the side felt a pain in his heart. Although he also knew that this might just be a transaction from left hand to right hand, facing such a generous show of kindness from his own valley owner, he, a money manager, could not help but feel heartbroken.
Huaifenghua shook his head and said: "Wanhua Valley has indeed provided Hidden Valley with a large amount of elixirs in recent years, which is why I can accept the promise calmly. But this does not include those peripheral disciples, even if there are not those in these years It is impossible for the peripheral disciples to refine so many elixirs in the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley."
Murong Yun knew what kind of woman he was facing from the very beginning. With a helpless smile on his lips, he asked: "Then what are your thoughts?"
Huai Fenghua and Huai Cao Shi next to her ignored them and said, "I want to select some disciples from the peripheral disciples and let them officially join the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley."
"Oh?" Murong Yun's expression changed slightly, "You want these people to join the genealogy of Wanhua Valley."
Huaifenghua shook her head and said: "There will still only be a few among them who can join the genealogy in the end, but even if they don't join the genealogy, they will become disciples of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley."
"Facing these disciples, my junior sister and I will also teach them inheritance other than cultivating elixirs. The specific situation will depend on their respective talents and temperaments."
Huai Cao Shi also added on the side.
She followed Murong Xing to Baidi City and escaped the disaster that happened to her master. Over the years, she had been tortured in countless midnight dreams. When faced with the revival of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, she behaved better than her husband. Fenghua is more passionate.
Murong Yun nodded towards Huai Cao Shi, and almost without thinking, he nodded and agreed: "If you already have a list in your mind, then you can leave it to me now. I don't have many problems here."
Huaifenghua frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Those peripheral disciples who were not selected are not not good enough, but my senior sister and I have limited abilities. In addition to Ning Chu and the others, we really have limited energy. I hope they will come back." After arriving in Hidden Valley, Hidden Valley can treat them well."
Huaifenghua's worry is not unreasonable, because although these peripheral disciples have gained a lot of experience in cultivating Huaicao Shilingzhi over the years, if they leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, they may lose their greatest role.
Chen Zhuo on the side suddenly said: "This is the case, why not let them stay in Hidden Valley?"
"Huh?" Huaifenghua looked at Chen Zhuo doubtfully.
Chen Zhuo glanced at Murong Yun and said hesitantly: "If the situation at the Banshan Gang is true, then they will be short of such a group of people. By then, these peripheral disciples will also have a good place to go."
Huaifenghua thought for a moment and her eyes shone slightly: "Okay. When the time comes, these people can directly go to the Banshan Gang as disciples of Hidden Valley. I believe that the Banshan Gang will not treat them harshly."
Murong Yun shook his head. Just when everyone thought he rejected Chen Zhuo's proposal, he said: "If you go to the Banshan Gang as a Hidden Valley, you will only be subject to all kinds of surveillance. It is far better to directly go to the Banshan Gang as a disciple of Wanhua Valley." Go. In my opinion, it’s good for these peripheral disciples to also open up the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. Your energy is really limited in the early stage, so you can train these people, and then the Banshan Gang will support this group of people."
Mu Qing had been listening in silence until now. His eyes flickered back and forth between the faces of Murong Yun and Huaifenghua. It was not until Huaifenghua glared at him that he looked away. He coughed lightly and asked, "Murong Valley Master, have you noticed? one thing?"
"What?"
"You have been giving away profits until now."
"Benefit?" Murong Yun frowned slightly, as if he didn't like using this word to describe the relationship between them, and shook his head: "This is indeed the condition I can provide you, but it is not a concession, because Hidden Valley will soon You can’t enjoy this benefit.”
A light flashed in Mu Qing's heart. She looked at Murong Yun in surprise and asked, "Is Hidden Valley really going to be disbanded?"
There was a hint of surprise in Murong Yun's eyes, but he quickly realized what was going on. He glanced at Chen Zhuo, who was definitely the informant, and nodded: "That's true."
"But Murong Yin doesn't agree, right? Can you still disband Hidden Valley?" Huaifenghua asked seriously.
Murong Yun's eyes flashed with fatigue, he raised his eyes and looked at everyone and said: "It doesn't matter whether my eldest brother agrees or not. I am the head of the Murong family and the head of the Hidden Valley. My decision will not matter to these people in the Hidden Valley." You can object, but... your objection is invalid.”
Mu Qing gently touched his forehead with his finger. He realized that he had been very wrong all along. He seemed to have regarded Murong Xiu Ming as the representative image of the Murong family from the beginning, but the facts proved that the three brothers of the Murong family seemed to be Each one has more ideas than the other.
Mu Qing asked in a deep voice: "So your request is related to the dissolution of Hidden Valley. I, Chen Zhuo, said that you plan to create a sect in the city."
Mu Qing glanced at Huaifenghua beside him and decided to ask proactively: "Then you want me to join your sect?"
Murong Yun's eyes lit up and he showed a smile. After a moment, he sighed and shook his head, "In fact, I extremely hope that people like you can join this upcoming sect, but I know that this is impossible. You don't No matter how much you belong to Hidden Valley, you will not always be bound to Suzaku City."
"Then which one of us do you want to gain support from?"
Murong Yun looked at Huaifenghua who was speaking, and said with a smile: "I finally ended the affiliation between us, how could I make the same mistake again."
Murong Yun stopped letting everyone use their imaginations. He looked at Mu Qing and said, "I plan to let Xiaojing join this sect."
"She will be the leader of this clan."
