"Are you sure you didn't exaggerate Hu Nong Laozi on purpose?" Cheng Songting still didn't believe it and asked again.
"I swear, if there is even half a lie, then..." Cheng Yang was confident at this moment, and he opened his mouth to swear an oath to prove his innocence, but was directly interrupted by the former,
"Shut up, are you swearing randomly?"
At this time, not only Cheng Songting, but also everyone else basically believed what the other party said. In this way, things become simpler. Since the other party has such strength, it doesn't matter if they allocate like this. It's just a small loss. On the contrary, having such help would be of great benefit to oneself.
"Well, there is one more thing that I might need to trouble my father about." Suddenly thinking of something, Cheng Yang said again.
"Speak directly!" Cheng Songting frowned. Based on his understanding of his son, it would definitely not be a good thing if he showed such an expression and tone.
"It's like this. Because I didn't know the situation before, I was offensive to Senior Jia with my words to the child. I just thought that I would tell him something when you come..."
"You little bastard, you are really hopeless!" Cheng Songting snorted coldly, but did not get angry again. He turned to the middle-aged man beside him and said,
"Since this fellow Taoist has such strength, Brother Liu might as well come with me to visit him and discuss the next steps."
"It should be like this." The man surnamed Liu nodded, doing this was necessary. Strong people love to save face. If the other party really gets together with the Corpse Jade Sect because one of them is too arrogant and rude, it will really be more of a loss than a gain.
Didn't Yang'er say that the opponent had secretly competed with the Corpse Jade Sect Leader once before? The outcome was unclear and unimportant, but both parties were talking and laughing afterwards. This is a dangerous signal and must be taken precautions against.
The two of them thought very well, but unexpectedly, as soon as they flew out from the back of the giant wither crest, they were stopped halfway by the corpse jade sect leader and his party who also came.
"Hey, isn't this Island Master Cheng? He doesn't enjoy the cool weather on Kamikaze Island, but why is he taking a bunch of people to this remote sea?" said the Master of the Corpse Jade Sect with a sneer.
"Qin Luan!" Seeing the visitor, Cheng Songting's face turned ugly again and he asked directly,
"You and I have always been in harmony with each other, so why are you plotting against my son for no reason?"
"Island Master Cheng is indeed a model of righteousness. His ability to confuse right and wrong is admirable!" Upon hearing the other party's question, Qin Luan, the leader of the Corpse Jade Sect, couldn't help but sneer and continued,
"The treasure map originally belonged to our Corpse Jade Sect, but it was secretly stolen by your son. How could there be any conspiracy?"
"You just deliberately set up a trap. Otherwise, how could such an important thing fall into the hands of my son so easily?" Cheng Songting also knew that he was not responsible. It was true that the trap was set up, but it was not aimed at his son. Everything It can only be said to be a coincidence. However, it was impossible for him to admit it.
"Since Island Master Cheng said so, it's easy. Just hand back the treasure map and key, and you and I can once again keep our peace."
"Dream!" Cheng Songting was not stupid, so naturally he would not agree to such a thing. Regardless of whether it is a trap or a calculation, in short, the ancient ruins are real, how could he give up?
"Fellow Daoist Cheng is not only good at confusing right and wrong, but he is also very capable of telling the truth." It was obvious that he had known this answer for a long time. Qin Luan was too lazy to argue about the matter and immediately changed the subject,
"It is useless to argue about other matters. Now that the matter has come to this, the next exploration of the ruins is the right thing to do. How about you and I put aside our differences for the time being and discuss the business together?"
"Of course you can." Cheng Songting didn't want to talk to him, but the man surnamed Liu on the side spoke first.
"I wonder how Fellow Daoist Qin plans to discuss this?"
"I don't know what the situation is at that ruins. If it is too dangerous, you and I must work together. In addition, there is also the distribution of the subsequent benefits, which need to be discussed in advance. If there is a big move because of uneven distribution, it is bound to happen It will cause damage to both parties. Come to think of it, this is not what Guidao wants to see, right?"
Hearing Qin Luan's words, not only the man named Liu, but also Cheng Songting's expression changed slightly. Indeed, it is important to explore the ruins, but if it causes great damage or even loses several elders in the core formation stage, it is not worth it.
It would be great to be able to explore peacefully, but this is obviously a bit difficult. There is no basis for trust between the two parties at all. Once the value of the treasures in the ruins is too great, action is inevitable.
"Then how does Fellow Daoist Qin plan to distribute it?"
"Don't worry, why don't you call Daoist Jia here together and let the three of us discuss it together?"
Qin Luan suddenly said this, which immediately shocked Cheng Songting and others. Is it true that as Yang'er said before, that fellow Daoist Jia might have hooked up with the Corpse Jade Sect?
In this way, the opponent no longer belongs to the power of Kamikaze Island, but exists as a separate party. This is understandable. With such strength, who would be willing to succumb to others?
Unfortunately, even if the two of them figured this out, they couldn't say anything and could only nod slightly in agreement.
In the Ziyun boat, when he heard the sound in his ears, Mo Juren couldn't help but a smile flashed in his eyes, and a white light flashed around him, and he flew out of the window in an instant.
Wang Ying and the other girls looked at each other, and some suspicion suddenly arose in their hearts. It seemed that the development of the matter was beyond their control, and they had no control over everything.
"Friend Qin"
"Jia Daoyou"
In mid-air, Mo Juren and Qin Luan greeted each other cordially, which immediately shocked Cheng Songting and his two colleagues. They also did not hesitate and came forward to greet him.
Mo Juren did not treat each other differently, but treated everyone equally. He always had a kind and friendly expression, making it impossible to tell what he liked or disliked in his heart. Such a performance made the three of them even more secretly shuddered. He was indeed a difficult character to deal with.
After some non-smiling pleasantries, the three parties finally got down to business. Other aspects were minor details, mainly about the distribution of the treasures obtained during the exploration of the ruins.
Since only their son knew the specific location of the ruins, Cheng Songting and his wife were very confident, so they had to be extra careful when speaking. He never thought about it, but was immediately laughed at by Qin Luan. Your precious son had revealed the secret a long time ago, and Daoist Jia just happened to know it.
Hearing this, Cheng Songting was startled and turned to Cheng Yang in the distance for confirmation. After getting the positive result, I immediately became furious again. If the timing wasn't right, I really wanted to go over and beat him up.
Cheng Songting was a little unwilling to give in, and immediately thought that even so, Kamikaze Island and Fellow Daoist Jia had the advantage. You Corpse Jade Sect, as the only uninformed party, naturally needs to give in.
Qin Luan laughed again, laughing that the other party couldn't see the situation clearly. Now that we are here, do you know that the location of the ruins is still important? At worst, I, the Corpse Jade Sect, will always follow you and you will always be able to find it.
Cheng Songting was immediately speechless and realized that he had also been negligent. What he thought he could rely on had actually lost its value.
Qin Luan mentioned again that there was not only one key to open the ruins, but three. Therefore, they are the one with the real advantage.
However, this statement was also refuted by the man surnamed Liu. Not to mention three, without one of them, even thirty would be useless.
In short, the negotiations were extremely intense from the beginning. Both parties set out their own conditions and requirements, and the purpose was nothing more than to get a bigger share.
The quietest among them was Mo Juren, who did not express any opinions from beginning to end. He knew in his heart that all negotiations were based on strength. Even if the result was determined, it did not mean it was finalized. If you really encounter some valuable treasure, no one will be willing to share it.
Therefore, he just came to participate in the discussion with the mentality of 'it doesn't matter'. What to do in the end, of course, is to adapt to circumstances and do whatever is most beneficial to him.
"Brother Jia, do you have any suggestions? Why don't you just tell me?" Sensing that he had been silent, Qin Luan suddenly asked. Cheng Songting and the two people opposite him also turned their heads with extremely solemn expressions.
Kamikaze Island and the Corpse Jade Sect are evenly matched, but they are arguing endlessly. As a third party, the person in front of him has a somewhat important opinion.
"You two can just discuss it. Jia has no objection." Mo Juren did not continue, but pushed the problem back. Are you kidding? If you really express your stance, it will be difficult to go back on it later. After all, you said what you said but broke your promise. Maybe both parties will fall out at the same time in anger.
Therefore, it is safest not to express an opinion. You have the strength in numbers, so what conclusion do you draw? As a single person, I have no choice but to 'submit', and it is understandable that I will do something afterwards.
Seeing his statement like this, the other two parties couldn't force it, so they could only start arguing with each other again.
The process was naturally very difficult and took several hours. No one on either side could convince the other. In desperation, I could only choose a compromise.
What is acquired individually belongs to the individual, while what is acquired jointly can be divided into three parts according to the value assessment, with each of the three parties having one share.
No one is willing to score less, which is also the result of compromise out of desperation. After some deliberation, both parties could only choose this.
Mo Juren naturally had no objection and also chose to agree. As a result, this distribution discussion has just come to an end. Moreover, it is also the most important point of exploring the ruins, and the other things are trivial.
Everyone discussed some more details. During the process, Qin Luan did not hide the situation of the ruins, but took the initiative to explain.
They also obtained the residual map and key by chance. They didn't know much about the true secrets of the ruins, and they couldn't provide any information support.
Naturally, others could not be convinced by such words, but they did not ask any more questions. If it were them, they would naturally not disclose valuable information.
After all discussions were completed, the three parties started to set off immediately without any further hesitation.
This time, the "Six-winged Chai Feng wither" from Kamikaze Island was responsible for leading the way. As for Cheng Yang, he originally planned to return to Ziyunzhou again, but unfortunately he was directly suppressed by his father. Where was the chance to leave?
Ziyunzhou continued to escape quickly, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the attic in the middle of the week was a bit strange.
After returning from Mo Juren, the three Wang Ying women stared at each other with strange eyes. They wanted to ask something, but they didn't know how to ask.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. No need to be so coy." Mo Juren glanced at the three women and said with a dumb smile.
"As long as Brother Mo doesn't abandon the three of us, I will be willing to comply with what we will do next and how the harvest will be distributed." Wang Ying finally spoke, but she did not ask anything, but stated her position directly.
Obviously, Mo Juren's force caused the situation to change suddenly, and she was no longer able to control it. Any previous promises, such as sharing benefits with the other party, no longer count.
Now the other party is the 'leader', and it is up to the other party to decide what to do next and how to distribute the benefits. She, who has always been mentally sensitive, naturally understood this truth and adjusted her thoughts accordingly.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Mo Juren admired the other party's agility, and then joked with a smile: "What if I am too stingy and don't give you anything?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Ruting and Fan Jingmei's pretty faces changed slightly, but Wang Ying was unmoved and continued to express her position: "If Brother Mo really did that, and my little sister will admit it, I should think that this action is for You help.”
"Then it's a big debt, so it's most cost-effective to divide the things directly." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, with a look of reluctance. This expression of not suffering at all made Wang Ying dumbfounded. She also knew that the other person was just joking, so she rolled her eyes at the other person and said,
"Brother Mo is so 'careful' about our sisters, why don't you worry that no girl will like him in the future?"
"Is it that serious?" Mo Juren looked frightened and quickly asked with a serious face,
"Then if it were Miss Wang, would you like Mo's stinginess or Mo's generosity?"
"Of course it's Kang Gai..." Wang Ying was about to say something, but she suddenly came to her senses, her cheeks suddenly turned red and she said,
"The devil likes you."
After saying that, he angrily walked to the futon, sat down cross-legged, and began to close his eyes and rest. However, his still slightly red cheeks showed that he was not at peace inside.
Zhuo Ruting, the two girls, naturally saw everything, and couldn't help but look at each other, thinking secretly in their hearts, could their master be really tempted?
Zhuo Ruting had made a guess before, but Fan Jingmei had another idea.
Senior Mo was already very good before, but now he has shown such terrifying strength. What woman would not be tempted?
Not only is he powerful, his real appearance is also first-rate. This kind of existence is simply a rare man in the world. If it were her, she would be willing to be his concubine.
Of course, I can only think about this in my heart. With the master of my own family here, why is it impossible for her to take her turn? No matter in terms of cultivation, status, fame, or appearance, there is no comparison at all.
More than two hundred miles, which is really not that far, soon, under the guidance of Cheng Yang, the three forces flew to a small island.
The radius is only a few dozen miles, and there are some scattered mounds of barren earth that are only a few dozen feet high, but there is nothing else.
Everyone landed on the island one after another, looking at everything around them with doubts. Could the so-called ancient ruins really be in a place like this?
