“I thought you would abandon them and protect yourself. But you should know that the people standing behind us are just a few young punks from the third floor. Their cultivation is low and they are useless. Are you sure you want to give up such a treasure for people like them?” said the golden-masked man in the middle.
Xu Yuehuai stood behind them, not understanding what it meant. They didn't know that the sect leader would come to save them, just like when they realized that Nangong Yu wasn't by their side.
Wei Shengliu spoke coldly, standing above, his white robes fluttering, inspiring awe in everyone. "You'd better stop talking nonsense. I've brought you what you wanted. Release them all first, and I'll give it to you."
“Wei Sheng Liu’s reputation is widespread, it’s very famous. We’ve all heard of him on the first floor. We know that the Qingtao Valley Sect Master is an upright person who never lies. However, I don’t need to tell you how much effort we’ve put in to come down from the first floor to carry out this mission and to get what you have. Sect Master Wei Sheng should understand that.” Wei Sheng Liu’s surname is Wei Sheng, and his given name is Liu.
After the man finished speaking, he kept his eyes on Wei Shengliu, waiting for him to make a decision. Wei Shengliu did not compromise. "You should know that the thing is in my hands. If you don't do as I say, I can leave with this thing at any time. If I can't leave, I will perish with it, and you will not get it either."
Wei Shengliu spoke calmly, as if describing what he was eating that day, “This thing is like a piece of scrap iron in my hands, it’s useless to me, but it’s different for you, so don’t worry, I have no reason to keep it, but I hope that after this is done, you will clear away all the miasma outside my Qingtao Valley.”
“Sect Master Weisheng, we’re giving you face, but not so you can take advantage of it. We didn’t create the miasma, so we’re afraid we can’t help with that. We’ll help you go back and report. As for what you said about releasing the people first,” the man in the golden mask thought for a moment and agreed, “Of course, I believe Sect Master Weisheng’s reputation is well-deserved.”
The man in the golden mask glanced at the people next to him. The man turned around and saw five people standing by the house, just looking at them. He said to them, "I believe you all heard what I just said. Now you should leave."
The group exchanged glances, and their gazes eventually fell on Xu Yuehuai. Although Xu Yuehuai was not the oldest among them, when faced with a major event, they all felt that Xu Yuehuai possessed a convincing strength, so they were all willing to trust him.
"You guys go first." As Xu Yuehuai said this, her eyes were fixed on Wei Shengliu, clearly she recognized who the person in front of her was.
Wei Shengliu exchanged a glance with Xu Yuehuai across the ten people, and smiled slightly, "Let's go. The answer you seek will come one day, but not now, child."
Wei Shengliu's words were inexplicable and no one could understand them. Seeing that they were still standing there hesitating and had not left, the man in the golden mask raised his tone and said, "If you don't leave now, there will be no way for you to survive when the fight breaks out."
Xu Yuehuai yelled at the other four people, "Didn't you hear me tell you to go first?"
Ji Yuanchi stared into Xu Yuehuai's eyes. At this moment, Xu Yuehuai felt unfamiliar to her, as if she had never known this person before.
It was only then that Ji Yuanchi realized she knew nothing about Xu Yuehuai, and didn't even know what had happened to her in the past.
Fu Ziyi pursed her lips, indicating that it wasn't interesting, and turned to leave. Baili Xiuwen lingered for a moment, hesitated, and then followed Fu Ziyi away.
Ji Yuanchi was a little scared of Xu Yuehuai like this, but her hand instinctively reached out to grab Xu Yuehuai's clothes. "Yueyue, I won't leave. I'll stay with you."
Xu Yuehuai's brows furrowed with annoyance. She raised her hand and knocked the man unconscious, then looked coldly at Pu Erge, "Take your sister and leave."
Pu Erge frowned. He also felt that Xu Yuehuai had become a different person. Looking at Ji Yuanchi, who had already fainted, he decided to leave first.
When everyone had left and she was the only one left, the man in the golden mask seemed to have thought of something amusing and looked at Wei Shengliu opposite him, "So you went to all this trouble just for this little girl?"
Wei Shengliu did not deny it; at this point, there was no need to deny it anymore.
"Here you go." After everyone left, Wei Shengliu handed the key in his hand to the man with the golden mask without any hesitation, and then walked to Xu Yuehuai's side.
Xu Yuehuai picked up the jade pendant at her waist and looked at it. She said, "Where is he? Can you tell me who the original owner of this jade pendant was?"
Her eyes burned with a intensity that seemed to pierce through flesh and bake into the very soul.
Wei Shengliu shook his head and said, "I don't know. He left after giving me this thing, leaving me with this favor. But his cultivation level is very high. All I know is that he comes from the first level. As for other questions, I may not be able to help you."
After receiving the item, the person in the golden mask immediately examined its authenticity. Once confirmed to be genuine, they took out a sphere with a raised or recessed area that matched perfectly. After placing the item on the sphere, the key remained motionless.
The group with the golden masks sensed something was wrong and turned to look at Wei Shengliu, who hadn't left yet. "Sect Master Wei Sheng, something's not right with what you gave us."
The man in the golden mask didn't make any absolute statements. If there were any problems with what Wei Shengliu gave him, he would have taken the girl away from this place immediately, rather than the two of them staying here for so long.
Wei Shengliu remained calm, as if he had expected this all along.
He first said to Xu Yuehuai, "You should hurry back. Here, take this. It's all from that person. He told me to give it to you after I met him. Go back and tell your sect leader, Zisang, that he should lead the sect to greater heights."
"Gentlemen, this miasma was created because of your arrival. Is there any way to remove it?" Wei Shengliu did not answer their question, but instead asked in return.
The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with uncertainty. "Sect Master Weisheng is indeed extraordinary; he has a backup plan?"
This statement implies that Wei Shengliu is dishonest, provides substandard goods, and secretly cheats them.
Wei Shengliu chuckled lightly, "I, Wei Shengliu, have always acted uprightly and honestly, and have never done anything wrong. I am asking you this question now for the sake of the younger generation of the sect."
