Chapter 338: Immortal Palace Arrives

Shui Wuji's kind smile froze and his eyes flickered.

Shui Wuji's reaction made Shen Ziqing certain of something, but his face was full of admiration and confusion, "Brother Shui was obviously betrayed by them, but he was still willing to keep the secret for them. This quality is admirable."

Shui Wuji's eyes flashed, and he smiled awkwardly, "No, no—"

Shen Ziqing did not ask any more questions, but smiled and talked about other things, "I wonder how the Yuanluo Sect's Chamber of Commerce is preparing?"

Seeing that Shen Ziqing stopped asking questions, Shui Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.

Good quality?

Bullshit! He wished he could just go straight to the sects that were secretly backstabbing him!

It was agreed that everyone would work together to defeat Dayu, but in the end, just because his Yuanluo clan was about to become prosperous, they stabbed him in the back? Are you taking advantage of the fact that he dared not speak out and stabbing him in the back?

Shui Wuji was so angry, but he had to hold it in because the one behind this was not a super sect, but the Immortal Palace.

As ancient forces that have existed since the Great Wilderness Period, the Immortal Palace and the Tianxu Tower must be connected, otherwise the Tianxu Tower would definitely hold Meizhou accountable for the losses.

Since Shen Ziqing doesn't know the list, there must be a reason why Shen Ziqing can't know it. He is just in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and cannot make decisions on his own.

"Well, it's under construction, under construction——"

Shen Ziqing played with the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Shui, don't worry, build slowly, it's best... wait until the eldest prince's army arrives. The eighth prince has made such a great contribution in Meizhou and is far ahead in the competition for the crown prince. The eldest prince is probably very anxious, but Zhongzhou is not as easy to control as the small states."

"If you want to control Zhongzhou through business, you still have to establish a [new] Chamber of Commerce yourself."

"Everyone can think of this, and you can still gain a good reputation at that time."

Shui Wuji was stunned at first, but then he reacted and nodded repeatedly, "Master Shen is right! Master Shen is right!"

"Brother Shui, what are you talking about? If you weren't bothered by some trivial matters, Brother Shui wouldn't need my advice."

Shen Ziqing's compliments made Shui Wuji almost float up.

Of course, it is important for a person to know himself. Shui Wuji would not think that he is a big shot just because of Shen Ziqing's compliments.

"No, no - what are your plans next, Master Shen? If you don't mind, you can come to our Yuanluo Sect and have a seat!"

"This... Thank you for Brother Shui's kindness, but now may not be the right time."

Shui Wuji blinked his eyes, thought about it carefully, and slapped his forehead in annoyance, "Master Shen, please forgive me, look at my brain!"

The Yuanluo Sect is about to be destroyed, and yet you still invite people to visit the Yuanluo Sect. This is too unlucky!

"No problem - I'll take care of counting the assets of Yuanluo Sect. Make sure to count them clearly. There will be many people around at that time. If there is any loss, Tianxu Tower will be responsible for compensation."

Hearing this, Shui Wuji was horrified, "This this this -"

Not only did he help Yuan Luozong escape, he also provided thoughtful assistance in cleaning up the aftermath! ?

No wonder the ancient sects were willing to entrust their entire lives and property to Tianxu Tower; this service is truly thoughtful!

Shen Ziqing shook his head and jokingly said, “So, if Yuan Luozong discovers some ancient cave, please show mercy.”

Shui Wuji suddenly became embarrassed, "I will ask those disciples who participated in the snatching of the resources of the ancient cave to hand over the things and return them in full."

"Hahaha - Brother Shui, look at what you said. The fact that they can get those resources means that they are destined to have those resources. If they are destined to have them, why should we interfere? Brother Shui, I will be strolling around Zhuozhou these days. If there is anything, you don't have to make a special trip. Just let Zhou Yi and the others come."

"Then I will respectfully obey your command."

Shui Wuji bowed politely, turned around and left. The suspended passers-by returned to normal, not realizing that they had been suspended for a long time.

Zhou Yi and the other two also slipped back at this time, nodding and bowing with awkward smiles.

"Brother Zhou——"

"Hey hey hey - Lord Shen, you're too polite. Just call me Xiao Zhou."

"Just call me Xiao Zhang."

"My name is Xiao Cheng!"

Zhou Yi and the other two quickly stopped Shen Ziqing.

They can't bear to be called Brother Zhou now.

Shen Ziqing saw a thick barrier between Zhou Yi and the other two in their words and expressions.

Shui Wuji returned to Yuanluo Sect in a hurry, waved his hand, and ordered all the elders to start counting the assets of Yuanluo Sect.

The assets of a first-rate sect are not a small amount, especially for a demonic sect like Yuanluo Sect, which has a lot of black and white assets. Even they themselves don't know the exact amount, and the difficulty of counting them is no less than conducting a thorough cleaning.

The elders were a little confused at first, wondering why Shui Wuji wanted to do such a time-consuming, laborious and unprofitable thing.

But after hearing Shui Wuji say that Tianxu Tower not only wanted to help Yuanluo Sect escape, but also wanted Yuanluo Sect to control the entire Zhuozhou by using the prince's position like Huantian Sect did, the elders suddenly became excited.

The Seventh Elder who was in charge of the money of Yuanluo Sect hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Grandmaster, should we make some...small changes in the account book?"

Shui Wuji thought that the Seventh Elder was hinting at reporting false accounts in order to take advantage of the rule that Tianxu Tower would compensate for the losses, and he immediately became furious.

"We reported a lower amount of assets, and the extra part is regarded as a tribute to Tianxu Tower. We cheated Tianxu Tower and got so many benefits, we can't just not show any appreciation at all."

Shui Wuji patted the Seventh Elder's shoulder vigorously, "Not bad, not bad. I couldn't tell from the beginning that you were a talent. You really didn't let me down!"

"Move, move faster!"

Under Shui Wuji's call, the elders started to stir up trouble as if they were going to overthrow the entire Yuanluo Sect. Of course, in order to avoid being discovered by someone with ulterior motives, the elders acted very carefully.

As the ancestor, Shui Wuji started to fish with peace of mind.

Just when Shui Wuji was fantasizing about a bright future, there was a strange movement from the depths of the water abyss. A stick of Panlong incense broke through the layers of seals and came straight in front of Shui Wuji. Green smoke floated up, forming an illusory human figure.

Shui Wuji was startled at first, but when he reacted, he immediately stood up and clasped his hands together, "Thank you, Immortal! If it weren't for your face, Tianxu Tower would never have given our Yuanluo Sect preferential treatment!"

The dark figure sitting on the rattan chair was startled and looked at the others with a blank face.

If Yuanluo Sect had not shaken the foundation of the Taoist tradition, he would not have shown up on purpose. His original intention was to question Shui Wuji what he wanted to do, but he didn't expect that the other party would just thank him and it was related to Tianxu Tower.

The other people present were also bewildered, not understanding why Shui Wuji would suddenly do such a thing.

But the surprise and gratitude on Shui Wuji's face didn't seem fake.

"What kind of preferential treatment did Tianxu Tower give you?"
