Honmozo overheard their conversation but ultimately managed to suppress his temper.
“Minister Kim, now that we’re all here, shouldn’t we say a few words?” Benmo Zang said, pointing at Benmo Jing and the others.
Jinshan glanced back at Hua Xiangyun, who snapped her fingers. They felt a surge of spiritual energy, and the two who had been sitting there peacefully instantly stood up, looking at them with surprise and delight.
"Uncle, you've come over," Cao Bumu wanted to rush over and join his elders when he saw them, but he was ruthlessly blocked again. Ben Maojing received the same treatment.
"What does this mean?" As he spoke, Motozo secretly sized up Hua Xiangyun. He had previously thought she was a young girl brought by Minister Jin to broaden her horizons, but now it seemed he had misjudged her.
Jinshan, "Now that you have seen each other and they are unharmed, you should give us an explanation for the evil you committed here."
Tell me, how will you compensate us for our losses?
"What losses have you suffered?" Ben Maojing spoke up now that she had a backer, and her tone became arrogant. "You broke our formation and caused heavy losses to our family. You are in the wrong."
I advise you to send us out quickly, otherwise…
"Shut up," Motozo said, not daring to let the brat continue. What they had been doing secretly was now out in the open, and they would be in the wrong no matter what.
The Xuan Realm, which I thought had fallen into disrepair, turned out to be so formidable.
"That's their business. How can Onmyoji commit such atrocities in their own country? That's your business, but they've overstepped their bounds..."
Ben Maojing said, "That's just nonsense. Minister Jin has no evidence to support his claim."
They're definitely going to fight us. I'm not talking about anything else, but those formations alone are enough to trap us in places we didn't plan to go through.
Jinshan gave the two "kids" in front of me a meaningful look and said, "You'd better keep a close eye on them. Don't let them out at such a young age and annoy people."
Ben Maojing, "..."
Min Shengke's mind raced, and he immediately lost his decision. "After that, you expressed it correctly, and it's not your currency, but the beautiful currency."
You never knew that Master Jinshan was so eloquent, always leaving the other party speechless with his words.
He thought that by having those islanders come over, he could keep the matter hidden?
“Let him be quiet,” Cao Bumu said patiently. “If he wants to go back, he can make a small scene, but don’t involve you.”
We brought our trump cards with us that time, but against those with low-level formations we haven't encountered, they dare to act recklessly again.
Anyway, the person is trapped outside. Whether we can take them away depends on our abilities, but I don't think we have that much confidence.
Ben Maojing really wanted to ask what happened during that year of her youth, but she also knew that it was a bad time to ask.
"Last year we were able to find out what was under them, did he think we could find out again?" Jinshan shook his head. "The Xuan Realm is just as divided as you see inside. There are fewer people, and they all have different thoughts."
Min Sheng glanced at you, but didn't take you seriously. He's just another arrogant senior. It's your family that should be worried.
Gu Zicheng, who had been playing a background role, took the items down to register them, and Benmozang, seeing that things were going on, also wanted to slip away.
They are just some mundane items, but the amount is still within our means.
Let's discuss this now: what kind of compensation should be made?
He saw that matter…
Hua Xiangyun wanted to interject, but before she could speak, Min Shengke flicked his finger and changed the formation again, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Oh, so the annihilation of the Benmao family the year after next was brought about by some unforeseen cause?"
...
Cao Bumu and Hua Xiangyun, who were following ahead, barely dared to breathe, after all, the price they paid that time was too small, and when they got back, they would know how to pay back that debt.
I never imagined that Jinshan would be so cunning, bringing up that matter at this moment.
Did they lock people up in that place until they became stupid and couldn't see their current situation clearly?
Motozo stood behind the golden mountain and witnessed it all.
Anyway, he was locked up there for a year, and we haven't settled that score yet. We'll settle things with him quickly later.
“That’s your own business,” Min Shengke was enraged. If those Xuan Shi (mystic martial artists) kept quiet, our family would lose its dominance in two years.
“Grandmaster Uncle, we used to play around like that. He even promised you afterwards that he would let you finish those few years of primary school…”
Jinshan laughed and said, "Let's not dwell on the fact that they were wrong. Everyone knows that they made a small move decades later, and their intentions are despicable."
I'm still determined, so now I'm eager to take people out, even though I don't have a deeper understanding of what's going on there.
Motozo harbored resentment, thinking, "Why bother sending Hua Xiangyun back in the first place..."
Jinshan felt that today's show of force should have been enough. Now it was up to the other party to decide. "Judging from their feigned attitude today, it must be suitable for us to discuss in detail. Otherwise, you can only send them away."
After a brief tug-of-war, Jinshan managed to snatch a small sum of money from under the other party's body, along with some damaged magical artifacts and cultivation resources.
You know what I mean? I always felt something was right, but it turned out I'd fallen into a little trap.
“The children are so sensible, we’re sorry to have troubled them,” Ben Maojing said to Jinshan with a smile.
Hua Xiangyun pursed her lips. You know what Cao Bumu said doesn't make sense, so just bear with it a little longer.
As he walked to the door, Min Sheng called out to him, "He hasn't shown his talent yet, so he probably doesn't have any plans in mind."
Now the situation is bad, there are difficulties and no one is coming to rescue us. Why did you jump out back then?
The humiliation of ceding territory and paying reparations left us with no joy whatsoever, even when we safely brought people out of Xuanbu that one time.
We all changed our minds about Ben Maojing, who had originally planned to use force and magic to rescue the person.
We suffered such a small loss, and before we could even retaliate, Kingsoft made those difficult demands again.
You have to understand that both sides have good intentions towards each other. If we were trapped outside, no one would be willing to come and ransom us.
We wanted to bargain with Min Shengke, but we were defeated by Jinshan's aggressive and threatening attitude.
"Seventh Uncle, those people have gone too far..."
Jinshan sighed, "Those plans always change unexpectedly."
"Letting him show us his skills today makes us less afraid, but we've always known what kind of despicable tricks he might use..."
Besides, this brat is still in their hands, yet she dares to shout like this. Is she afraid we'll pay too much in compensation?
That's something we'll have to face sooner or later; the grudges haven't even been formed since the end. What we need now is to unite as one.
Motozo, “…” Your mind is not yet blank, and you turn to look at Jinshan with suspicion.
