"Is that so?" Wen Jingge still had doubts about Lu Wei's memory. "Are you sure? I'm going to go down the mountain to make money after I've renovated the peak."
"Yes, confirmed. You may begin! Isn't your Xuan Yun Sect a millennium-old sect?"
“Ten thousand years,” Wen Jingge corrected. “It’s a ten-thousand-year sect, but other sects are all a thousand years. Plus that Demon Lord, who is said to awaken once every thousand or hundred years. In order not to be a troublemaker, they all say it’s a thousand-year sect.”
Lu Wei: ...
He finally understood why Wen Jingge was so cunning.
It turns out it's a sect tradition!
"You must be the troublemaker among the Seven Peaks. It's strange that the other peaks and the elders of the Inner Academy haven't come after you after causing such a commotion today."
“Do you know?” Wen Jingge stared at him intently, “When I brought you out, I also thought they would say that I was colluding with the demons, that I was the most wicked woman, and that I wanted to turn my disciple into a half-demon who was neither human nor ghost.”
When we came out, the illusion hadn't actually been broken yet, but I deliberately called out an elder of the same generation as my master to seal the barrier. I deliberately brought Qiao Yu and stood in front of him. He glanced at it and said that the sealed demons were quite troublesome, and then he left.
I feel something's very wrong! Everyone says that you demons use demonic words to deceive and bewitch people, so you must have a very thorough understanding of human nature. Please help me figure this out, why didn't he expel me from the sect? Even though I sealed you away, you can still escape!
What if they destroy the Xuan Yun Sect? What if you're just pretending to be sealed away? What if you're actually an incarnation of that Demon Lord?
"..." Lu Wei was even more speechless.
To him, Wen Jingge was a strange person, his eldest disciple Liang Si was strange, the remaining six peaks were strange, and the entire Xuan Yun Sect was strange.
"What if you have amnesia, and people don't want to argue with you?"
"I don't know." Wen Jingge waved her hand, as if to brush away those messy thoughts. "If the water diversion fails this time, take me back to the Bailu Ruins, and we'll go treasure hunting, how about it?"
"You're rich!"
"It'll be gone soon."
Soon, Lu Wei realized just how quickly this "soon to be gone" meant.
Because he failed. A man's word is his bond. Even though he had become a spirit, he still agreed to Wen Jingge's request to find the treasure.
Water was brought in thanks to Wen Jingge's improved method.
Several disciples were planting flowers, trees, and shrubs on the shore, mostly medicinal herbs.
Fresh, brought from the medicinal mountain.
Qinghong Peak Master Fan Zifan came over and took a look. Only after confirming that Wen Jingge hadn't gone to harm other peaks did he feel relieved. At the same time, he threw down a vicious sentence, "Ten and a half peaks. Considering you used them yourself, I'll give you a 50% discount. Remember to pay me back!"
"Find Junior Brother Ai; he won a lot of money from your bets."
"..." Fan Zifan left in a fit of anger.
Although the trial ended abruptly, Qiao Yu, with Lu Wei's help, actually won first place.
Many people lost money back then, but only three made money: Ai Fengling, Song Huan, and Shan Hongxing, the three peak masters.
"Is this all the disciples are capable of?" Lu Wei snorted.
Wen Jingge glanced at him and mimicked his arrogant tone when he was being beaten, "I am Lu Wei, the God of War of the White Deer. Hehehe, how shameful is it for a mere God of War to compare with a bunch of disciples who haven't even entered the sect yet?"
A blush crossed Lu Wei's face. He was about to find a quiet place when he decided not to leave.
As Wen Jingge looked at the now-cleared water, she squatted on the bank and took out hundreds of storage bags from her ring.
Inside the red storage bag was an orange storage bag, and inside the orange storage bag was a blue storage bag, and so on, four or five times. She scattered bag after bag of spirit stones, first spreading them out on the small lake in one layer, and then grabbing handfuls and embedding them into the sides of the lake.
After doing all that, there were still about thirty unopened red storage bags at her feet.
"So this is what you meant by running out of money right away?"
"Look at my huge peak. Before, even my only disciple was raised under someone else's tutelage. Now, I have five disciples. Liang Si is about to reach the sixth rank and will soon no longer need to eat. But they all need to eat! And what do they eat? Money, of course!"
Lu Wei was speechless once again.
After a long pause, he saw Wen Jingge drawing an array again and, remembering his previous failure, said, "I'll just give you an estimate of the range; I won't interfere with your drawing."
"Okay." Wen Jingge wiped her face with her sleeve. "Is Qiao Yu almost recovered?"
Lu Wei instinctively became wary, "You want to discard me after I've served my purpose?"
Wen Jingge stopped what she was doing. She found that this man was really hard to deal with. If she let him out, he wanted to go back. If she let him go back, he wanted to come out. "There's something for him to do. Next time he faints, you can come out."
Lu Wei didn't speak, but stared at her until she finished drawing before asking, "Will I one day completely merge with you, my disciple?"
"Then tell me first, when you woke up, did you sense any other demonic energy nearby?" Wen Jingge took a deep breath.
This problem had been bothering her for several days. If it weren't for insomnia, she wouldn't have opened half a library on Wanzhang Peak, nor would she have been forced to renovate Wanzhang Peak to make her life better because of her continuous progress in her studies.
"have."
"Big Demon?"
“The demonic energy is very strong, at least…” Lu Wei looked at her and also became puzzled.
Logically speaking, the array set up by Wen Jinge is an ancient array. Regardless of whether the demons are conscious or not, they will rush to the place where the demonic energy is strongest, seeking the protection of a strong person or being devoured by a strong person.
Born from filth, demons are born with sins and have no emotions; they only know how to wage war.
Lu Wei was stunned. He seemed to have been like that before, as the God of War.
