Chapter 165 Vigilance
Geng Yu choked, then quickly changed the subject: "Is Cheng Nan going to find the little mute?"
"Ok!"
Geng Yu became anxious: "Where is the little mute? I want to go find her too."
What do you want to do with her?
“I think you were right last time. I want to go and learn alchemy from her. I just don’t know if my 20,000 high-grade spirit stones will be enough.”
Seeing Geng Yu's distressed expression, Ji Se was speechless.
What an idiot! Tu Shan didn't hide from him when she was refining pills; she still refined pills whenever they were around.
"I don't know, you can ask her directly."
"That's why I came to find you. I want to know where she is. This is very important, and I want to ask her in person!"
Ji Se rubbed his temples helplessly and said, "Let's wait a few more days! She has things to do recently. We can ask her about bedwetting after she comes to us."
"Then how did Cheng Nan get the chance to go find someone?"
“He has important business to attend to. Don’t ask so many questions. Now go and cultivate properly.” Ji Se closed her eyes and warned, “You’d better keep a close eye on her. If she dares to cause trouble, I won’t go easy on her because of you.”
"who is she?"
Zhong Qi pulled Geng Yu back and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, we will keep an eye on her and will never let her cause trouble in front of you."
"That's good. I need to cultivate now. You can leave now!"
Ji Se sat cross-legged, watching the two men, gesturing for them to leave.
Zhong Qi wisely dragged Geng Yu, who still wanted to speak, away.
Geng Yu shouted at the top of her lungs, "Zhong Qi, what are you doing? I haven't gotten the answer yet!"
"Shut up!"
On the long, snowy road, Cheng Nan ran happily toward Tu Shan.
After walking quite a distance, I realized that I had already learned to fly on a sword.
As he flew into the air, the cold air whistled past his ears, making his face turn red and his ears stiff.
He reached out and rubbed his slightly stiff ears, circulating his spiritual energy to dispel the cold, and his body was enveloped in a warm aura.
Flying on a sword is much faster, and soon the figures of Tu Shan and Rong Lü appeared in my consciousness.
The two looked in his direction, and Tu Shan waved to him.
Cheng Nan quickly stopped in front of her.
Can you handle this yourself?
"I'm a little worried."
"Alright, Rong Lu, are you going to wait for us here, or go back to Ji Se and the others first, and we'll meet up again tomorrow?"
Rong Lu tugged at Tu Shan's sleeve and replied, "I'll wait for you here!"
For some reason, Tu Shan sensed a pitiful tone in his words.
"Alright! We'll be quick!"
Tu Shan grabbed Cheng Nan and threw him onto the bench.
Activating his spiritual power, the bench quickly slid forward.
The birdcage following behind glided along, its speed constantly increasing, and it was thrown far away due to centrifugal motion.
Cheng Nan then noticed that a sixth-tier demon beast was tied to his back.
"How is this going?"
"It's nothing. It wanted to eat me, so I taught it a lesson. Then we'll see if Rong Lu needs it. If he doesn't, I'll give it to someone else."
Cheng Nan was pleasantly surprised, not expecting Tu Shan to be planning to teach the contract method to others so soon.
"Are you planning to prepare a monster for everyone?"
Tu Shan turned around and glanced at him speechlessly.
Does she seem like such a generous person?
Yes, she is indeed a very generous person.
However, to be fair, it would be unfair to charge ten high-grade spirit stones for the Blue Flash Poison Butterflies given to the other people, but not charge spirit stones for the remaining five.
That's right, she did it so as not to show favoritism.
Tu Shan nodded heavily, as if doing so would make her more confident.
"Of course, I prepared demonic beasts for you guys, so I'll definitely prepare some for the others too!" Tu Shan laughed. "Don't worry, I'll also charge them spirit stones. As for how many, it depends on the level of the demonic beasts they find!"
Cheng Nan nodded in agreement.
This is a sixth-tier demonic beast; how can I just give it away to anyone?
She felt comfortable giving it to them, but they felt awkward accepting it.
With Tu Shan's speed at the Nascent Soul stage, the two quickly moved away from Ji Se and the others, finding a safe place.
"Let's leave it here! The sooner we sign the contract, the sooner we can go back."
Cheng Nan took out the monster bag, preparing to release it, but Tu Shan hurriedly stopped him.
"what happened?"
"What else? Aren't you afraid that the moment it appears, it'll slap you away or kill you? Aren't you incredibly carefree?"
Ji Se got angry when she saw his blank look.
That's incredibly careless.
Cheng Nan realized what was happening and asked guiltily, "What do we do now?"
"Have your Blue Flash Poison Butterfly drug it, then release it later."
"it is good!"
Cheng Nan immediately released the Blue Flash Poison Butterfly to poison it.
Soon a soft couch appeared before her, and Tu Shan lay down on it, closing her eyes to rest.
Cheng Nan was sitting cross-legged, about to begin his cultivation, when he heard her voice echoing across the empty snowfield.
What do you think of Jian Leng and Jin Zhilin?
"Senior Brother is responsible, intelligent, and thoughtful. As for Senior Brother Jian Leng, we haven't spent much time together and don't know him very well."
Tu Shan narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Why would you say I'm thoughtful?"
"For example, he can guess that my junior sister and I are keeping it from him. He probably already knows what's going on, but he won't ask. He'll just continue to observe."
He probably already guessed that our secret is related to ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, perhaps even related to demonic beasts.
Cheng Nan stared into Tu Shan's eyes, trying to see what she was thinking, and continued, "Of course, all of this depends on your attitude. You deliberately let your junior sister reveal the contract unintentionally."
She nodded and said, "That's right, I did it on purpose. It's also part of the test."
"What happened? Why did you suddenly tell others?"
Cheng Nan looked at her with concern.
"Cheng Nan, the five of us have come a long way from the Qi Refining stage. I believe in you all. I believe that when I was so weak, you didn't abandon me and treated me as a partner. You are brave and sincere."
In the future, our continent may live in dire straits, and I have things I must do, so I want to find a group of partners, partners with whom I can entrust my life and death.
You'd better think it through now, whether you still want to come with me and Gise.
Call her indecisive or soft-hearted.
Cheng Nan, Geng Yu, and Zhong Qi were already trapped, but she still hoped that they were genuinely willing to stand together, and that they wouldn't be with her for the sake of the contract array.
She also didn't trust those she associated with for personal gain to handle her affairs.
The siege of the island by sea monsters in Miluo Star Sea continues, with more and more monsters appearing, and their levels getting higher and higher.
Given the current state of humanity, it is completely impossible to resolve this issue through force.
The only options are deterrence or ceding territory and paying reparations.
Deterrence?
On the surface, there are very few humans at the Mahayana stage, let alone the Tribulation stage.
The number of top-tier combatants among the sea monsters is unknown.
What can we use to deter them?
Ceding territory and paying reparations?
It was her life, that of someone with such a special bloodline as Rong Lu, that was being cut off; how could she allow herself to be slaughtered by others?
She's not that righteous; rather than let me be a fish on the chopping block, she'd rather take a gamble.
Hua Buhui probably meant the same thing: one step back leads to another.
The loss of life is not something that the major sects want to see.
By associating with three of the four major sects, wasn't this a way of securing a future escape route?
They may be called the chosen ones, but aren't they also abandoned ones?
