Compared with the good news that Wu Sheng's suggestion was approved by Da Fengxing, Jiang Ying's soul lamp was not extinguished. This was the best news for Wu Sheng. As long as the lamp is not extinguished, the academy will not know that something happened to Jiang Ying, and at most it will not be able to see her.
It is normal for a high-level cultivator to not see each other for several months, and it is not strange to not hear from him for a year or two. For example, Fengxing Nongqiu, who often goes down the mountain to collect herbs, usually counts his days away from Xiandu Mountain in months, and it is common practice not to return to the mountain for three or five months. Another example is Ziyu and Luo Lingfu who went to sea for a year, which almost caused All his direct descendants were wiped out, including the bachelor Wang Bu, who has been missing for two years and has not caused serious concern in the academy.
Of course, there are some differences between Jiang Ying and Master Pan. They are the two people in charge of the refining of magic talismans and magical instruments in the academy. The time it takes to arouse the concern of the academy may be shorter, but three months should not be a problem.
Therefore, Wu Sheng immediately had plenty of time again.
The four schools in Gusu, Kuaiji, Yuhang and Aucheng were still "searching" for traces of people dressed in black clothes and Yaoli. Under Wu Sheng's deliberate guidance, they slowly expanded towards the southwest. At the same time, the winter bamboo shoots in Longkou The Master also received a secret letter from Wu Sheng and contacted Wei Fushen.
It was not difficult to make contact. Master Dongsun didn't even have to go to the wilderness anymore. He and Wei Fushen had already agreed to meet in an inaccessible canyon southeast of Longkou.
When Master Dongsun arrived, Wei Fushen had not arrived yet, so he waited patiently for three days before Wei Fushen arrived belatedly.
"You came late. This is very unlike your style." Master Dongsun said: "In the past, you were always waiting for me...Are you not so eager for Fenmai Pill? Then why not change the reward, you want What do you want?"
Wei Fuchen stretched out his hand: "It's Fenmai Pill. As we agreed before, I want five pills from Sha Jiao Qiu Qi."
Master Dongzhan said: "I have the final say on how much you give. It doesn't mean you can get as much as you want."
Wei Fuchen stared at Dongzun in silence, a chill emanating from him, making Master Dongzun feel uncomfortable.
Both of them have undergone tremendous changes now. Wei Fushen has experienced countless battles in Skull Mountain, and has killed many people. He was disobeyed on the spot, and his murderous intention suddenly aroused; while Master Dongsun, although his cultivation level is far inferior to that of Master Dongsun. Wei has been ups and downs, but he has been in a high position for a long time and is well-informed. He is no longer the timid old man he used to be.
"You can kill me, and I guarantee that after killing me, your ranking on the red list will rise a few places. How about it? Do you want to give it a try?"
Wei Fu was silent for a moment, then restrained his killing intent and said: "Jiaoqiu Qi is not easy to kill. He is ranked 31st on the red list and is worth five Fenmai Pills."
Master Dongzhan said slowly: "It was your own idea to kill Jiao Qiuqi. I have never asked you to do this."
Wei Fu said solemnly: "The academy rewards those who kill Jiaoqiu for eighty gold in exchange for five Fenmai Pills. Is that too much?"
Master Dongsun said sarcastically: "Then why don't you go to the academy to receive the reward yourself?"
Wei Fuchen took a deep breath and stopped talking, just staring at Master Dong Bamboo.
Master Dongsun did not dare to go too far, so he said: "I can get you five Fenmai Pills, but you have to tell me why you want so many this time? Although your injury is not minor, it is obvious You don’t need that much, just two is enough!”
Wei Fushen said: "This has nothing to do with you."
Master Dongsun shook his head and said: "Originally it was irrelevant, but after you went to Wuyue and came back, it became relevant."
Wei Fuchen's eyes narrowed and he asked, "What do you mean?"
Master Dongsun said: "You can just go to Wuyue and kill Jiao Qiuqi. Why are you so troublesome?"
"What's so troublesome?"
"Do you need me to explain it so clearly?"
Wei Fu was silent for a moment and said, "He is my friend."
Master Dongzhan breathed a sigh of relief and asked!
He immediately struck while the iron was hot: "He is not your friend. You saved someone you shouldn't have saved."
Wei Fuchen insisted: "He is my friend. If a friend is in trouble, of course he must be saved."
Master Dongsun asked: "A friend who would rather save himself than to get himself involved?"
Wei Fuchen sneered: "Only a wanted man in the academy? Why are you talking about getting in? You can put the words "big thief Wei Fuchen" on the red list a few places. Wei Mou wants it!"
Master Dongsun also laughed: "Your great thief Wei Fuchen likes to seek fame. I know that, but in that case, why didn't you leave your name on the wall when you rescued people? What are you worried about?"
Wei Fuchen frowned and said, "I have a name embroidered on my clothes, and I showed it to the fisherman. What? He didn't tell me?"
Master Dongsun didn't know what to say. This was Wu Sheng's mistake in handling the case. If he had taken the risk to deceive Wei Fusheng, others had already pointed it out.
Okay, let’s put this question aside for the time being. Master Dongsun reorganized his words: “You rescued the people who carried out encirclement and suppression. How can we reach a tacit understanding between you and me in the future?”
Wei Fushen said: "I have a tacit understanding, but the key is you. If you don't have a tacit understanding, I will tear out all the tacit understandings we have reached."
Master Dongsun patted his chest and said loudly: "Okay, even if you expose me, the worst I can do is run away. What about you? Where else can you run?"
Wei Fuchen asked: "Why should I run away?"
Master Dongsun pointed at Wei Fuchen and asked: "Can Master Skeleton allow a person who has reached a tacit understanding with the academy to continue to stay by his side?"
The two of them stopped talking. This leverage was not a threat to either party.
Master Dongzhan eased the atmosphere: "I have a suggestion."
Wei Fuchen immediately responded: "You say it."
Master Dongsun said: "Give me Yaoli, and I will add two Fenmai Pills to you, for a total of seven."
Wei Fushen immediately refused: "Wei will not betray his friends. From now on, we will just have no contact with each other."
After a long time of persuasion, Wei Fuchen did not agree, and even showed a fierce look in his eyes, with the intention of murdering and stealing goods. Master Dongsun did not dare to persuade him anymore, but came up with a second plan.
"Sun Fengxing organized various schools to search for Yao Li. It cannot be without results. Since you are unwilling to hand over Yao Li, you must give some explanation. Gongsun Rentu, who is ranked 30th on the red list, twenty-nine Feng Pingjun, two Eighteen Peng Sheng, or Tao Yannv, find a way to hand over one of them, it's up to you."
This time Wei Fuchen agreed: "Okay. Give me the Fenmai Pill first."
Master Dongzhan took out two Fenmai Pills and threw them over: "I will give you two pills first, and the remaining three pills will be given to you after you get their heads. There are no more pills. This is considered a punishment for destroying your pursuit of important things."
Wei Fuchen took the Fenmai Pill and nodded slightly to express his approval.
Master Dongsun said again: "Those people I mentioned are all in the wilderness. It is not difficult for you to find them, so you only have one month. If there is no explanation after one month, there will be nothing between you and me in the future." There is no tacit understanding anymore, do you understand?"
Wei Fuchen stopped answering, turned around and left, quickly disappearing among the vast mountains.
