He Changsheng looked as if he had been wronged, his expression darkening as he said, "Village Chief, I never thought you were this kind of person. If that's the case, then just pretend I never came."
The implication was obvious. He had something important to tell you, and if it was a petty matter, then he naturally had nothing to tell you.
It was the same old routine. He Changsheng was about to leave after he finished speaking. The effect of playing hard to get was always effective.
Chen Li was stunned for a moment, unsure whether He Changsheng was bluffing, but it seemed that he was telling the truth.
He Changsheng's trick has been proven to be effective. These strong men are suspicious by nature, especially Chen Li, who has been walking on thin ice in recent years.
As expected, before he even stepped out of the gate, he was stopped by Chen Li.
Chen Li said angrily, "You kid don't know how to take a joke. I'm not a stingy person. It's just a few cups of tea. Come and sit down."
Having said that, Chen Li returned to his original position and took out the tea table that had just been taken back. The fleeting pain in his expression was clearly visible.
He Changsheng took a deep breath and couldn't help frowning slightly.
He originally wanted to quit while he was ahead, but who would have thought that this bastard Chen Li would actually want to use the garbage lake to mess with him.
He still remembers the taste of the Eternal Spring Tea vividly. He certainly can't forget the refreshing feeling that penetrated his heart.
Besides, in comparison, the surprise was so obvious, how could he not recognize it.
So He Changsheng sighed and said, "Village Chief, after thinking it over again and again, I feel that coming here this time is indeed a bit abrupt. It's better to have less trouble than more, so let's just call it a day."
Then he changed the subject and said, "But if I could have the legendary Eternal Spring Tea to calm my mind, maybe I would muster up the courage to tell you frankly."
He had almost made it clear that even if this old fellow Chen Li tried to carry on with his petty nature, he had other countermeasures.
Chen Li was silent for a moment, his expression slightly stiff.
As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, you have to worry about thieves
Chen Li said, "How about we talk about business first, the matter of the Eternal Spring Tea, and then we can talk about it later?"
He Changsheng said in surprise, "Village Chief, what do you mean? Could it be that you really have the Eternal Spring Tea? Perhaps this is destined by heaven, and I am meant to tell you the truth."
Chen Li was speechless: "......"
Then he silently took out the Eternal Spring Tea from his storage ring, skillfully brewed a cup for him, handed it to him and said, "Now you can finally tell me."
He Changsheng took the drink from the other person's hand with a smile, drank it directly in one gulp, and signaled Chen Li to refill it for him.
Chen Li's mouth twitched...
He Changsheng drank it all again with satisfaction.
He didn't think about converting it into spiritual power this time, mainly because it was not worth much spiritual power.
Besides, after so many years of cultivating immortality, what's wrong with enjoying yourself?
This made Chen Li feel a pang of pain. He thought that if this kid didn't know when to quit, he would have to punish him.
He Changsheng smiled. He certainly understood that such things had to be done step by step and not rushed.
Then he said with a serious face: "Village Chief, I have thought about this matter over and over again, and I feel that I still need to tell you. It is not too late to find out now, otherwise I am afraid that it will lead to a big mistake."
"oh?"
Chen Li was slightly stunned and motioned for him to continue.
This kid has been quite well-behaved in the past two years and has rarely gone out, which makes him feel a lot more at ease.
Today's sudden visit gave Chen Li a bad feeling in his heart.
He Changsheng said calmly, "The Cangxi Immortal Sect has committed countless evil deeds, even worse than the Dragon King Palace. They used all means to obtain the fragments of the Heavenly Book. The Yuhua Immortal Sect was persecuted by them and almost suffered a devastating disaster. They also killed innocent people indiscriminately. Their cruelty is simply outrageous."
As he spoke, he explained the reason again.
Of course, he couldn't exaggerate Jing Mo's evil deeds too much. This kind of half-true and half-false effect was best.
After all, this old guy Chen Li can count with his fingers, which is what gives him the most headaches.
Chen Li's face was grim. As an elder of Cangxi Immortal Sect, someone was actually causing trouble right under his nose.
However, he couldn't help but wonder, "Are you exaggerating? Cangxi Immortal Sect is the leader of the righteous path after all. Even if there are people with evil intentions, they would never do so openly."
He Changsheng responded: "Is it possible that when faced with absolute profit, all moral integrity will become meaningless?"
Human hearts have always been complicated and are the most vulnerable to tests.
Chen Li was silent for a moment, then said, "But what does this have to do with the big mistake you mentioned? Although I was once the leader of the Cangxi Immortal Sect, the Cangxi Immortal Sect has nothing to do with me anymore."
He Changsheng secretly despised him in his heart. This old guy was really two-faced. He said that it had nothing to do with him, but in fact he had long been unable to take it indifferent.
However, He Changsheng did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at the teacup in front of him and signaled the other party to refill his cup.
Chen Li had no choice but to do as he was told.
He Changsheng drank it all in one gulp and said, "If there was only the Cangxi Immortal Sect, there would naturally be nothing to worry about. However, the Cangxi Immortal Sect has an insider from the Dragon King Palace, and the Dragon King Palace already knows that the fragment of the Heavenly Book is in Da Qi.
As far as I know, several emissaries from the Dragon King Palace have already arrived in Daqi, and the existence of Xiaohe Village may not be hidden from the public. Village chief, you must take precautions as soon as possible."
Chen Li's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with discontent. "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier? If the Dragon King Palace discovered our whereabouts, you know what the consequences would be."
Following He Changsheng's eye signal, Chen Li learned his lesson this time and immediately refilled his tea with ease.
Chen Li’s mind is now full of the Dragon King Palace, and he no longer cares about the Eternal Spring Tea.
He Changsheng sighed and said, "Village Chief, please don't worry about these trivial matters. There's still time for everything. It just depends on whether you have the courage to keep me here."
Chen Li's expression changed and he asked, "What do you mean?"
He suddenly had a bad feeling... There was something wrong with the second half of this kid's sentence!
He Changsheng's face was filled with emotion as he said, "If that's the case, then I won't hide the truth from you. The fragment of the Heavenly Book that the Cangxi Immortal Sect and the Dragon King Palace are looking for is now in my possession. I came here this time to inform you of this matter and to say goodbye. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid that one day I will bring trouble to you, my fellow villagers."
When Chen Li heard this, he instantly felt bad and was speechless for a long time.
It was hard to describe the complexity of his mood. He wanted to curse loudly, but his heart was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.
After a long moment, Chen Li said with a gloomy expression, "I'm deeply relieved that you're thinking about the entire Xiaohe Village. I've watched you grow up, and I'm worried about letting you leave on your own."
