The two asked in unison, "What's a good idea?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "This good solution is a matter for the two of you; you two should solve it yourselves!"
"Holy crap!" Chen Bo and Zhao Haonan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood when they heard this.
At this point, the two realized that Liu Xiaoyuan was not stupid at all; he had actually been playing them for fools all along.
"Alright, I won't disturb you two any longer. I'll be leaving now. Oh, and I don't want the Blood Spirit Mushroom anymore. As for who gets it, that's up to you two!" With that, Liu Xiaoyuan turned and left.
Zhao Haonan turned ashen with rage upon hearing this, because Liu Xiaoyuan's last words were clearly telling Chen Bo that as long as he had the ability, the Blood Spirit Mushroom would be his.
Chen Bo already believed that Zhao Haonan had taken the Blood Ganoderma. Later, in order to drag Liu Xiaoyuan into the mess, Zhao Haonan concocted a self-inflicted trap by claiming that he also had the Blood Ganoderma. Now, Liu Xiaoyuan has added this statement.
Now, even if Zhao Haonan had ten mouths, he couldn't explain himself clearly.
As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan left, Chen Bo immediately launched an attack on Zhao Haonan, wanting to get his hands on the Blood Spirit Mushroom.
Not long after he left, Liu Xiaoyuan heard the sounds of fierce fighting behind him. Liu Xiaoyuan sneered and said, "You two are up to no good."
This time, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't linger in the mountains; he headed straight out.
When Liu Xiaoyuan emerged from the mountains, he discovered that his clothes had been torn by the bushes, and he had several scratches on his arms.
When Liu Xiaoyuan got home, he first took a cold shower, and then, too lazy to go to work, he simply lay down on the bamboo-woven cool bed to rest.
When Liu Xiaoyuan woke up, he saw Chen Bo standing in front of him, his face bruised and swollen, his clothes and pants torn all over, looking like a beggar.
Seeing Chen Bo's disheveled appearance, Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to laugh, but he held it in. He sat up from the cool bed and looked at Chen Bo with a surprised expression, asking, "Mr. Chen, what happened to you?"
Chen Bo thought to himself, "Damn it, are you playing dumb with me? Don't you know what's wrong with me?"
"It turned out like this after fighting with that guy surnamed Zhao," Chen Bo said angrily.
Liu Xiaoyuan then slapped his forehead and said, "Oh dear, look at my head! How could I forget about this? I slept so much that my head is all muddled!"
"By the way, Mr. Chen, have you received the Blood Ganoderma?" Liu Xiaoyuan then asked.
Chen Bo sighed and said, "Mr. Liu, you have no idea how despicable that guy surnamed Zhao is. He doesn't have any Blood Spirit Mushroom at all. He asked you for help earlier, saying he would give you half of the Blood Spirit Mushroom, but he was just lying to you. Damn it, the Blood Spirit Mushroom isn't even in his possession!"
Upon hearing Chen Bo's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately put on an indignant expression, stood up from the bamboo bed, and cursed, "Damn it, that Zhao Haonan is a real scoundrel, he actually tricked me, he's despicable!"
Chen Bo chimed in, "Who says otherwise? This guy surnamed Zhao is truly despicable. Mr. Liu, next time you see this guy surnamed Zhao, you absolutely must not be polite to him."
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Chen Bo, thinking, "You've got a good plan, instigating me to fight Zhao Haonan so you can reap the benefits."
Chen Bo's little trick was immediately seen through by Liu Xiaoyuan, but Liu Xiaoyuan pretended to be fooled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Mr. Chen, you are right. I will definitely not let Zhao Haonan go next time I see him."
After saying this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately looked troubled. Seeing this, Chen Bo asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "It's like this, Zhao Haonan is a disciple of the Liuyun Sect, while I am just an ordinary rural boy. Although I became a Ming Jin master by chance, I feel a lot of pressure facing a disciple of a sect like Zhao Haonan!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Bo inwardly scoffed. "You're really shameless. A mere novice at the Ming Jin realm dares to call himself an expert? If those An Jin or Hua Jin experts heard this, they'd laugh their heads off."
“Mr. Liu, don’t worry. Although Zhao Haonan is a disciple of the Liuyun Sect, he is ultimately just an unimportant disciple. Rest assured, I will support you. I also have the support of a sect behind me,” Chen Bo said, patting Liu Xiaoyuan on the shoulder.
Liu Xiaoyuan had long suspected that Chen Bo was also a disciple of the sect, but he had always avoided talking about it. He didn't expect that Chen Bo would bring it up this time.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, which sect are you from? Could you introduce me to your sect?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked excitedly.
In order to persuade Liu Xiaoyuan to deal with Zhao Haonan, Chen Bo had no choice but to reveal his own secrets, which were hardly any secrets.
"My sect is called Qingyang Sect, which is far superior to Zhao Haonan's Liuyun Sect. Their Liuyun Sect is nothing but trash in front of our Qingyang Sect! Don't worry, with just one word from me, you will become a disciple of Qingyang Sect," Chen Bo said arrogantly.
Seeing Chen Bo's blatant boasting, Liu Xiaoyuan secretly despised the guy. "Just one word from you and you'll make me a disciple of the Qingyang Sect? Humph! If you had that kind of ability, why would you be here searching for the Blood Spirit Mushroom?"
"Really? That's great! Please tell your Qingyang Sect that I want to become a disciple of the Qingyang Sect!" Liu Xiaoyuan said to Chen Bo with a joyful expression.
Chen Bo inwardly scorned him, thinking, "If I had that ability, I would still be fighting with that bastard Zhao Haonan in the mountains like a local thug today."
"That's easy. Just listen to me from now on, and I guarantee you'll become a disciple of the Qingyang Sect!" Chen Bo threw out a vague bait, waiting for Liu Xiaoyuan to take the bait.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded repeatedly, pretending to be at ease, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely follow Mr. Chen's lead from now on. By the way, Mr. Chen, why did you come here to look for Blood Ganoderma? I've lived here for over twenty years, how come I didn't know there was Blood Ganoderma in the mountains?"
Liu Xiaoyuan was hoping to get some useful clues from Chen Bo, a problem that had been troubling him for a long time.
As a low-ranking disciple, Chen Bo obviously didn't know the reason behind it, and he was just following orders.
However, he couldn't say it directly, so he said, "I'll tell you about this after you've taught Zhao Haonan a lesson!"
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, I'll go teach that bastard Zhao Haonan a lesson right away. By the way, I don't know where Zhao Haonan lives, so I don't know where to find him."
Chen Bo said, "I know that. Zhao Haonan lives with a family in your village. I think the head of that family is named Liu Dongqing. Do you know him?"
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, I know, I'll go right away!"
"Well, be careful!" Chen Bo sneered inwardly when he saw that Liu Xiaoyuan had fallen for the trap so quickly. Serves you right for watching the show in the mountains before; now I'm going to rip you off without hesitation!
