...
A good mobilization meeting ended abruptly due to Shen Zhao's efforts.
Just before leaving, Shen Zhao caught a glimpse of the sinister looks Gu Tianhe and Chu Yang were giving him, and he knew that this feud was now firmly established.
However, Shen Zhao didn't take this situation seriously at all.
Once the crowd had dispersed, Ding Bu'er breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shen Zhao, "Well, we've really offended someone today. Let's think about how to prepare for the worst."
Shen Zhao laughed and said, "Master Ding, I don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean by preparing for the worst? Do I look like someone who's going to die young?"
"We've certainly had our fill of banter, but we've offended both the Ancient River Sect and the Ninth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"If they want to destroy us, it'll be as easy as stepping on an ant. I think this Ancient River Sect is our burial ground."
"Who told you we're going to die? You know my abilities. These worthless bastards can't possibly make any waves."
"Just keep on bragging. You'll have a chance to cry later. This empress hasn't even started to develop yet, but she's already offended a ton of people. It'll be very difficult for us to smooth things over!"
"You know shit! You think you can help us by currying favor with these idiots? Besides, I never like to look at other people's faces when doing things. Isn't it better to focus on your own business?"
"Is there anyone who does business like you? Don't think you are great just because you have some skills. There are many who are better than you.
For example, today in the hall, there are three or five people in the Light Soul Sea Realm, especially Chu Yang. Why did you offend him? This kid lost face today, and he will definitely not let us go.
Whether they can survive and escape the Fuxi Abyss is still a question.
"Oh? Then what do you suggest we do?"
"What else can I do? I should take the initiative to admit my mistake, be sincere, and lower my posture. I should just agree to what they say. Maybe they will be happy and forget about it."
"What? If he makes me kneel down and call him 'father,' am I supposed to obey?"
"Then just shout? It's not like you're going to lose a piece of meat. Even if you're going to die, it's not too much to shout daddy! Don't be so stubborn and confront others!"
"But what if I can't kneel down?"
"You have to kneel, whether you want to or not. We're here to make money. Getting what the tribunal wants is the most important thing. Besides, kneeling before the Ninth Prince isn't shameful, and he won't laugh at you."
Shen Zhao pondered for a moment, then looked at Ding Bu'er and said, "Master Ding, you know, I'm not very good with my legs. I only make a living this way because I can't kneel down. Do you know what I'm trying to say?"
Ding Bu'er said disdainfully, "I know, it's all about saving face, isn't it? But you have to consider the situation. This isn't like Qingyang City, where they can take us down with a mere fart."
If you really can't bring yourself to say anything nice, just say a few kind words to smooth things over for now, and then talk about it again after you get out of the Fuxi Abyss, wouldn't that be better?"
"You can kneel if you want. I can't kneel before these idiots."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ding Buer said and walked forward.
"Where are you going?"
"Write a suicide note! With this attitude, there's no way we'll survive. We have to make arrangements for our funeral in advance."
Shen Zhao shrugged helplessly and followed him up.
After the two disappeared in the direction of the wing room, Gu Tianhe, who had been secretly watching them, walked out from the shadows.
"Hmph, check the backgrounds of these two people for me. I want to see what kind of background they have to dare to act so wildly in the Ancient River Sect."
Gu Tianhe ordered with a gloomy face.
...
The next morning, in a canyon somewhere in the back mountains of Guhe Sect, a thick screen of light shot straight into the sky.
This is the entrance to the Fuxi Abyss. Outside the entrance, there are already gathered monks from all walks of life who are ready to enter in search of opportunities.
“Miss, my name is Chu Yang. May I invite you to be my partner? I’ve heard that the Fuxi Abyss is fraught with danger, and having more people around will help us look out for each other.”
Chu Yang stood calmly in front of Yu Xiyan, elegantly yet warmly inviting the beauty before him to join his team.
However, Yu Xiyan didn't even look at Chu Yang and directly refused: "No need."
Seeing that he was rejected, the embarrassment on Chu Yang's face disappeared. Feeling the subtle mocking eyes cast by the surrounding cultivators, Chu Yang couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Miss, I am the Ninth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. I have reached the peak of the Soul Sea Realm. I can protect your personal safety in the Fuxi Abyss."
He did not give up and extended the invitation again.
But this time, Yu Xiyan just stood up and walked away, not even bothering to say a word to him.
This gave Chu Yang a deep sense of defeat, and he looked at Yu Xiyan's back with a sinister and greedy expression.
"Trying to act all high and mighty, huh? Hmph, once I, Chu Yang, set my sights on a woman, she'll never escape my grasp. One day I'll shatter that haughty attitude of yours, and all you'll ever think about is spending time with Chunxiao."
Yu Xiyan was unaware of Chu Yang's inner thoughts and instead headed directly towards where Shen Zhao was.
At this moment, Shen Zhao and Ding Bu'er were completely oblivious to the scene before them, each trying their best to verbally humiliate the other.
"Sorry to bother you two seniors."
Just when they were talking excitedly, Yu Xiyan interrupted them.
Shen Zhao looked up at Yu Xiyan and instinctively wanted to get up, but reason told him not to panic. He had nothing to do with this woman in this life, and he didn't need to fawn over her anymore.
"My name is Shen Yue. Can I join your team to enter the secret realm together?"
Yu Xiyan's cool voice rang out, which immediately made Ding Bu'er feel smug. He immediately stood up and said, "Yes, of course, Miss Shen is doing us a great favor by joining our team."
"Shut up!" Shen Zhao quickly interrupted him. "We agreed before we came that it would be just the two of us in a team, so that the benefits could be divided clearly. Now that there's another person, the whole plan has been disrupted!"
