On Guiyuan Street, under the winter sun and in the cold wind, ten unexpected guests arrived.
The group of cultivators, led by Tianyuan Shangren, placed bets on Zheng Ya losing.
Zheng Ya accepted all the bets, and then received a call from Wu Wei: "You bastard, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble, planning to grab a huge amount of luck power and then run away?"
"Oh my, you just found out?" Zheng Ya replied telepathically, transmitting a signal through the Sihelou system for convenient and quick communication with Wu Wei.
They made no secret of it; they were determined to make a runaway!
Wu Wei's heart skipped a beat, and she said angrily, "You, how could you waste the opportunity to cultivate across realms like this..."
"Haha, this is an opportunity for you, isn't it?" Zheng Ya didn't want to work for someone else and end up hurting them in the end.
A mysterious person stole Zheng Ya's collection of resources accumulated over more than a decade, along with various technological memories, and then used the money to fund Wu Wei, which alerted Zheng Ya.
Why should someone sacrifice themselves to benefit others?
Wu Wei choked quite a bit, but quickly came up with a clever idea and said, "It's understandable that you suspect I come from a prominent family and that I'm colluding with a mysterious person to scheme against your hard work."
But you're really overthinking it!
Have you ever considered that the mysterious person could sow discord between us, or that there might be other interdimensional beings in this world? Neither of us can say for sure.
Besides, interdimensional cultivation is just the most basic operation.
I'm sure you know that finding and refining rare spiritual plants and treasures, developing spiritual techniques, gathering resources, and raising family descendants are the fundamental ways to strengthen yourself, establish a foundation for your return to the Qian Yuan Continent, and protect your own destiny, right?
"Haha, that sounds nice to you?"
But this knowledge is monopolized by your aristocratic families, preventing mentors from teaching the lower classes. What's the point?
Isn't it all for the sake of people like me, from the bottom rungs of society, working for your powerful families, collecting Zheng Ya artifacts, and acting as a shield and scapegoat?
God knows when they might abandon you, using you as a shield or a scapegoat.
"So do you think I'll still give in and let myself be slaughtered?" Zheng Ya retorted indignantly, clearly very angry.
The tragedy of the underprivileged cannot be more profound than this.
Reincarnation is a skill, and Zheng Ya failed to be reincarnated into a good family twice.
In the previous reincarnation, I was ignorant and had no control over myself.
In the next reincarnation, the sudden combination of three beings was also beyond his control.
It seemed more like a deliberate scheme to instill fear and rebellion in Zheng Ya, making him unwilling to submit to fate and be a tool until his death.
Wu Wei guessed that he was upset, and anxiously tried to persuade him: "Hey, Zheng Ya, don't get agitated. It's best to stay calm and handle things properly!"
After all, we both know that the mysterious person can control our lives and deaths by manipulating the Tower of Babel mark, and we can do whatever we want with him, and we have no way to resist.
If you intend to disobey, and anger the mysterious person, you will suffer a terrible death.
If that's the case, it would be better to let nature take its course, accumulate strength, and wait until we return to the Qian Yuan Continent to break free from the control of the Tower of Babel's mark. Wouldn't that give us freedom?
"A moment of patience brings calm, a step back opens up a vast sky—you don't deny that, do you?"
"Haha, you've been telling me all this, aren't you just after the gene potion I have?" Zheng Ya said with disdain.
Wu Wei said awkwardly, "We are friends, isn't it normal for us to help each other?"
Besides, neither you nor I know who else in this world is from the Qian Yuan Continent like us. If you unknowingly aid the enemy, wouldn't that be tantamount to suicide?
You don't want to end up being called a fool...
"That's enough. Stop trying to sweet-talk me. I'm not falling for that," Zheng Ya retorted with a cold laugh.
Wu Wei said with a headache, "Fine, fine, I understand that you suspect I'm using you as a tool and that you're wary of me."
But please, be rational, don't sell advanced gene potions to anyone, I beg you..."
"Little girl, you know I don't want to stay in this world any longer. I sell high-grade gene potions so that they can spread throughout the world more quickly, causing a sensation and helping me accumulate luck for cultivation, so I can leave this world as soon as possible."
"Then why do you think I should compromise for you?" Zheng Ya warned dismissively.
Wu Wei broke out in a cold sweat and paced back and forth in the main hall, saying, "Zheng Ya, the technological products are being corroded by the spiritual energy."
As you heard, the phone tone is not pure and the connection may drop at any time.
I need your help…
"You're dreaming..." Zheng Ya hung up the phone abruptly. Wu Wei smashed her phone in anger, venting her fury: "Ugh, I'm so angry! Why don't you trust people? Why?"
"Princess, please calm down."
Even if Zheng Ya doesn't cooperate with us, he hasn't refused to do business with us! Liu Qingyun worriedly advised, unable to fathom the conflict and relationship between them.
Wu Wei angrily sat back down in the main seat, picked up the jade bowl on the table to drink tea to calm her temper, and still not satisfied, put the bowl down and said angrily, "He is simply ungrateful."
I meant well to help him, but he suspects I'm trying to harm him. Is it really necessary?
"No, Princess, think about it calmly. Zheng Ya's sale of advanced gene potions to outsiders will inevitably stir up a storm of competition for these advanced gene potions."
It is very likely that a war for usurpation will be launched ahead of schedule, allowing the forces plotting to seize power to make their appearance.
At first glance, it may seem unfavorable for the princess's development and rise to power, but the princess should not forget that if war breaks out within the Great Li Dynasty, foreign enemies will take the opportunity to invade.
This is the opportunity for the princess to go on an expedition to resist foreign invasion, and at the same time, to see the strength and weakness of the internal forces. While resisting foreign enemies, she can strengthen herself and will not be easily attacked by internal forces.
Unless their internal forces are strong enough to swallow up the princess's power in one gulp and also have the ability to divide their forces to resist external enemies, they will only choose to tacitly accept the princess's trend of growing stronger on her own and keep a watchful eye on her.
Opportunity and crisis coexist, and it is very likely that Zheng Ya's sale of the advanced gene potion will bring about a crisis. Whether it is good or bad, it will be beneficial to the princess! Liu Qingyun used her command skills to analyze the situation.
Wu Wei nodded slightly and said, "Master is right, I know all of that."
We simply want to grow stronger as quickly as possible. With Zheng Ya's help, we can create an invincible army that can conquer any enemy in the shortest amount of time.
What's infuriating is that Zheng Ya absolutely refuses to cooperate! It's driving me crazy!
"Princess, please calm down and think it over. Zheng Ya will not sell a lot of high-level gene potions to the public."
After all, his goal was not to sell advanced gene potions to recruit talent, but to stir up public opinion and accumulate his own fortune.
He would then control the quantity of advanced gene potions he sells, aiming to cause trouble, stir up conflict, and shock people. This would prevent one or more forces from using advanced gene potions to create an army.
Comparatively speaking, Zheng Ya did not restrict the number of high-grade gene potions the princess could purchase!
"Don't forget, the princess has already bought back a hundred bottles of advanced gene potion from him..." Liu Qingyun was worried that if she continued to argue with Zheng Ya, she would ruin the cooperation opportunity, which would be a loss.
After being comforted by her, Wu Wei came to her senses and saw a blurry figure on the remote control screen. As the drama reached its climax, she sneered, "These idiots are all giving him money, morons..."
"That's not necessarily true. He might have won a lot of crystals, but he might not have lost..." Liu Qingyun said mysteriously. They're all shrewd people!
