People's thinking is very strange. When facing an opponent with a small gap, they will always be unconvinced. However, once the difference is too big and becomes desperate, there will be no intention to continue competing.
This was the case for Wang Chan. Facing the monster-like Mo Juren, he really had no confidence that he could catch up with him. In addition, he was hit again and again. Over time, he gradually accepted his fate. Just like now, the opponent was already in the late stage of pill formation. Monk. Who can match this monster-like speed of improvement?
What's even more terrifying is that its actual combat power is far higher than that of the same level. The rumors of killing Master Mulan some time ago are still echoing in my ears. Is this something that a 'normal person' can do?
Anyway, he couldn't do it. Even if he and his wife used the 'Blood Spirit Technique', a top-notch skill that complemented each other, and the two of them joined forces to fight against the enemy, they would still not be able to match the strong men in the Nascent Soul stage.
Faced with such an incomprehensible freak, it's no big deal to be inferior to him in terms of status.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to accept his fate and make him truly surrender to the other party, not even to become friends. The reason is also very simple. He is too frustrated. When he is next to the other party, he, the top genius of the Ghost Spirit Sect, will instantly become dim.
It can't be beaten, nor can it be eliminated, so the best way is to stay away, as far away from the opponent as possible, and not to come into contact with it, so as not to be suppressed.
This was the truest thought in his heart. Naturally, he would not show it on the surface. Instead, he asked with a smile on his face:
"Brother Mo, do you have anything else to do? If not, how about having a meal together? I'm here to treat you. You can choose any place."
"I'm so sorry, but since Mr. Wang is so kind, if Mr. Mo refuses to give me face, how about choosing Sihai Tower?"
"Uh... of course!" Wang Chan's heart twitched. It was just a polite sentence. The other party should not be able to hear it because of his intelligence. Why did he agree?
He naturally knew that Sihai Tower, like Wuhu Pavilion and Jiutian Pavilion, were all properties under the Jiutian Merchant Alliance. As a restaurant, Sihailou is top-notch in the entire Tiantian City in terms of scale and price.
There will definitely be heavy bleeding this time. It's not that he can't afford it. The key is that he doesn't want to stay with the other party.
Firstly, his own light will be completely suppressed, and secondly, the other party's behavior makes him very desperate. He opens and shuts his mouth to talk to Brother Wang, as if he treats him as his younger brother.
Although he no longer rejects this title, it is still very awkward when he keeps shouting it in front of outsiders.
With the depression in their hearts, the four of them left the light curtain and headed towards the location of Sihai Tower.
…
The sky was getting dark, and Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan, who had been bleeding for a while, returned to the VIP area again and entered a certain attic. They happened to see their uncle who had been waiting for a long time in the living room.
"Second uncle!" Wang Chan stepped forward and greeted cautiously, and Yan Ruyan on the side also followed suit obediently.
"You're back, how are you getting along?" Wang Tiangu nodded and asked directly.
"It's okay." Wang Chan naturally understood what his second uncle meant, but he didn't show too much enthusiasm.
"Are you rejecting him? Or do you think there is a conflict between you two?" Seeing the other party's attitude, Wang Tiangu couldn't help but frowned.
He understands the situation. As a franchise owner of Tianhua Building and one of the founders of Tianhua Business Alliance, logically speaking, the relationship between the two parties should be good? You don't see any problems with your behavior during the daytime meeting either?
"It's not what the second uncle thought, it's just me..." Wang Chan hesitated, thought for a while, and finally revealed his thoughts.
"I did have some minor conflicts with the person named Mo, but it didn't affect anything. The reason why I rejected him was mainly due to my own reasons..."
"How did I teach you on weekdays? Why are you so confused!" After listening to the other party's story, Wang Tiangu's originally easy-going attitude changed instantly, and he immediately scolded him sharply.
"Don't blame me for being angry. Don't think about it. What kind of existence is Mo Juren? He is a top genius who can compete with the monks in the early stage of Yuan Ying in the late stage of pill formation. In the entire history of Tiannan, who is the top genius? Who can do it?
Such a figure who is destined to rise and has endless potential will definitely be the leader of the Yuling Sect in the future. Having the opportunity to make friends with them will not only be of great benefit to you, but will also be of great benefit to the future development of the entire Ghost Spirit Sect.
It's good for you, but you are repulsive because of jealousy! Is this what a young master of a sect should do? How unwise is it to ignore huge benefits for the sake of a trivial face? In the future, how can your father and I safely leave the future of Ghost Spirit Sect in your hands? "
"Second uncle, I..." Wang Chan never expected that the matter would be so serious? Especially the second uncle, who had never spoken so harshly to him before. In panic, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Second uncle, don't be upset. My husband was just negligent for a moment. He didn't think that far ahead. He didn't really ignore the interests of the sect. In fact, even if there were some conflicts at the beginning, they have been resolved, and in the days since, there has been no more conflict between the two parties. We get along well despite any disagreements." Yan Ruyan lightly opened her pink lips and took the initiative to defend Wang Chan. After hearing this, the latter suddenly felt grateful in her heart, and she promptly agreed,
"Yan'er is right. The grievances that Brother Mo and I had long ago are gone, and now we are more like brothers. If Brother Mo comes to power in the Yuling Sect in the future, with the friendship between us , we will definitely be able to build a closer relationship.”
"It's good if you can understand this." After hearing this, Wang Tiangu's expression softened slightly, and he continued,
"You have to remember one thing. If a sect wants to develop and grow, its own strength is the foundation, but it is not everything. Only by sizing up the situation and maneuvering vertically and horizontally can it truly advance and retreat freely in the cruel competition between major forces. Especially the leader of a sect, Every decision will affect the overall interests of the sect, and such a vision cannot be lacking.
Among your father's many descendants, you are the one that I am most optimistic about. Not only are you extremely talented, but your understanding is also not bad. I hope what I said today can make you realize something and don't limit your vision. "
"Second uncle, don't worry. My nephew will definitely keep your teachings in mind and never forget them." Sensing the other party's concern, Wang Chan felt warm in her heart and immediately promised. After a pause, the conversation suddenly changed and he asked again,
"My nephew, there is one thing I still don't understand. Mo Juren has such a terrifying talent. Once he grows up, he will be the best ally, but he is also a threat. Why are we..."
He didn't continue, but the meaning was clear enough. Both Yan Ruyan and Wang Tiangu are extremely smart, so why can't they understand?
The difference was that when she heard his inquiry, Yan Ruyan's bright eyes only blinked slightly, and there was a faint flash of strange color, which was fleeting. But Wang Tiangu's face darkened again and he said coldly:
"You can think of it, how can I not think of it? It's not just me, I think all the sects are also afraid of this Master Mo.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say this now. In the past battles between good and evil, and even when the Mulan people invaded, the opponent was only in the early stages of forming a pill, so even if everyone paid limited attention.
Who would have thought that just a few decades later, the opponent would disappear, reappear, and reach the late stage of pill formation, and his strength would catch up with the powerful Nascent Soul.
His growth is so fast that people are caught off guard. Even if they want to suppress him now, they have already missed the opportunity. Other forces do not want to risk offending the behemoth Yuling Sect to do such a thing with a low success rate. "
"That news may not be true. After all, there is a real lover beside him. Maybe it was the latter who actually killed Master Mulan." Wang Chan raised his doubts again.
"Are you still unconvinced?"
"Second uncle, please calm down. I'm just a little suspicious and have no other intentions." Wang Chan shook his head slightly.
"It's best this way." Wang Tiangu snorted coldly and continued,
"If we go back to a year ago, when I heard what the old monster Yulong said, I thought it was a bit exaggerated. However, the moment I saw him today, there is no need to doubt it."
"What did the second uncle find?" Wang Chan's expression suddenly changed, and Yan Ruyan on the side also showed curiosity.
"The magic skills I practice are quite special, especially in terms of detection and induction. Although that kid used some top-notch Qi-condensing method to cover up his own situation, I still sensed a trace of it. Abnormal. The magic power in his body is so rich and his spiritual consciousness is so powerful that it is probably not weaker than mine."
"This... this is true!" After hearing this, Wang Chan could no longer hold back the shock in her heart and asked with some stuttering.
"I hope it's false." Wang Tiangu suddenly sighed and continued,
"This is also the main reason why I don't let you be his enemy, and even try my best to make friends with him. This guy is too evil, and even with such strength, he still acts cautiously and unassumingly.
This is the real scary thing, and only such a stable character can go further in the future. But in this regard, you are far behind. "
"That...nephew will pay attention to it in the future." Wang Chan felt a little ashamed when he mentioned Zhang Yang.
Completely different from Mo Juren, he values face very much. As the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, wouldn’t it make people laugh if he goes out without any pomp? That is to say, I came here with my uncle this time, otherwise it would never be just the husband and wife.
After a pause, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said again,
"There is another thing that I find very interesting. Mo Juren seems to be too close to the Jiqing Sect member. Do you think the two of them are..."
"I also find this strange, but we still don't know whether it is what we think. In short, we don't have to guess anything, just wait and see." Wang Tiangu narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. A faint smile appeared.
"What the second uncle said is absolutely true, just wait and see what happens." Wang Chan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he started laughing. On the other hand, Yan Ruyan, who was standing beside her, kept her expression unchanged from beginning to end, with a demure and indifferent look. appearance.
…
Time flies by so fast, and in the blink of an eye, there are only ten days left until the official date set by the Grand Trade Fair.
However, at this time in Tiantian City, the long-prepared trading activities of many shops have already begun.
For example, the most common auctions, branches under several major business alliances, have all started to hold them in the order agreed upon. Among them, naturally include Jiutian Pavilion and Wanling Tower.
Of course, the initial auctions were mainly for testing and were not large in scale. The purpose was to practice in advance for the subsequent large-scale auctions.
After all, there are too many monks in the city, so there might be something ill-considered. In the same way, it can be considered as a way to warm up the atmosphere and gradually kick off the conference.
The current participants are all low-level monks below the Alchemy Stage. Occasionally, rare auction items will appear, which will also attract some Alchemy Stage monks to participate.
As the major business alliances held auctions one after another, the atmosphere of the conference was quickly raised. Whether it was day or night, it was full of excitement and excitement.
During this period, I unexpectedly met an acquaintance again, and it was Lian Feihua. The last time we met was on the front line of Lingfeng Kingdom, and it has been almost a hundred years now.
Mo Juren couldn't help but feel a little emotional. For monks, especially high-level monks, time flies by and it is difficult to grasp it. A single retreat may mean a huge change.
Even Han Yunzhi, who has been staying in Tiannan, spends less time together and more separation, so he is naturally overjoyed to see him again.
After all these years, Lian Feihua has also entered the core formation stage, but his personality has not changed, and he is still as carefree. Even after hearing the shocking news about Mo Juren, he still showed no restraint.
This time she came with an elder, but when she saw her two friends, she immediately abandoned each other and joined their small team.
So, in the next few days, a new small team of three people traveled together and visited almost all the large, medium and small shops in Tiantian City.
While they were having fun, they were also buying, especially the two girls, who seemed to have completely ignited their desire to shop. They actually bought an extra storage bag each.
What is more 'helpless' is that if you buy it, you can buy it, but it is Mo Juren who pays the bill. Fortunately, he has so many spiritual stones that he has no place to put them. If it were another person, he would have gone bankrupt in just these few days.
Of course, Han Yunzhi had no objection to this, but Lian Feihua just "displayed it", showing that she was too hasty and didn't have any spiritual stones with her. She owed as much as she could and then paid back the money.
Mo Juren was speechless. If you want to take advantage, just speak up. Is there any need to tell lies with your eyes open? Do you think I can't see those bulging storage bags around your waist?
He also knew that the other party clearly did it on purpose. However, compared to the friendship between the two parties, he was too lazy to care about such trivial matters and could only choose to acquiesce.
It wasn't until the conference officially started that the three of them stopped temporarily.
At this time, the first large-scale auction held by Jiutian Pavilion was about to begin.
In the early morning, Mo Juren, who had made some preparations, asked the two girls to go straight to Fangshi Central Bank. As for Liao Qing and Nangong Wan, as Yuanying stage monks, they had already set off first.
