Chapter 306
Returning to Beiliang City, Luo Beidou and his companions felt as if they were back home. Just looking at the city gate from afar, they breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Cheng Hui quietly took the bulk of the treasure. He felt a little embarrassed to hang out with these people, so he simply said goodbye to them and got off the flying boat directly near his own manor.
Lin Qingyang flew up on his sword, Cheng Hui stood behind him very naturally, waved to Luo Beidou and others, and the flying sword disappeared in an instant.
After Cheng Hui and the others left, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
The team leader called Luo Beidou to his side and asked in a low voice about the background of these two priests.
As the introducer of Cheng Hui and the others, Luo Beidou did not hide anything and confessed what had happened.
The team leader was shocked to learn that these two were both cultivators who were half a step into the Nascent Soul stage.
Although these two were only outer sect disciples, theoretically their authority was not as high as his, and they should obey him in everything he did, the problem was… this was the world of cultivation, and strength was the only criterion for determining authority.
These two were obviously stronger than him, but they never made any trouble along the way. They just did whatever they were told to do. They were not like ordinary cultivators at all.
The team leader would not think that these two people only had cultivation but no combat power. Apart from anything else, at least after they were caught in the illusion array, everyone was on guard at first, but as time passed, they gradually relaxed. On the other hand, Fellow Daoist Lin was able to remain alert from beginning to end. Based on this point alone, the team leader dared to conclude that this person was definitely a veteran with extremely rich combat experience.
The team leader felt ashamed in his heart. He didn't know the cultivation level of these two people. He only knew that they were outer sect worshippers. He didn't take them seriously. Although they had sufficient self-cultivation and didn't do anything to flatter the weak, they still handled the situation improperly.
He planned to report the matter after returning. The two cultivators who were half a step into the Nascent Soul stage still looked so young, and one of them was a master who was proficient in formations. They were definitely potential stocks worth investing in.
When Cheng Hui returned home, he had no idea that he had received such high praise from the team leader.
However, Butler Li was very happy to see his master come back, and he quickly urged the servants to clean up the manor.
The servants were also full of enthusiasm. Being able to work for the immortal master - provided that the immortal master had a good temper - was a blessing that could not be asked for.
Cheng Hui gained a lot from this trip, but what interested him most was the pure memory.
Before in the cave, the environment did not allow him to absorb the memories without thinking. Only after he came back did he have the mind to carefully distinguish the feelings.
This senior had a rather eccentric personality. Perhaps he judged others by his own standards, fearing that others would suspect there were traps in the inheritance he left behind, so he stripped out all his memories and gave them to Cheng Hui.
Reading this memory is almost equivalent to spending a lifetime as this predecessor. Even with Cheng Hui's experience of many reincarnations, he almost got lost in it several times.
Fortunately, this senior is a little weird, but his character is really impeccable. Unfortunately, he is not good at speaking, so he has been misunderstood many times, causing his reputation to plummet.
Cheng Hui did not doubt that this senior was deceiving him, because the memories left after death could not be used to play tricks. He just felt sorry for this senior. With his innovations in formation, he was definitely worthy of the title of Grandmaster. However, it was precisely because he was repeatedly misunderstood that he was labeled as a demon cultivator, and even the formation wizard he created was regarded as evil.
"Oh, what a pity..."
"What a pity?" Lin Qingyang asked casually.
"That senior. It shows that reputation is really important. If you have a good reputation, your words will be credible. If your reputation is bad, no one will believe you even if you tell the truth."
Lin Qingyang smiled slightly. No one understood this point more deeply than him.
Before his identity as a demon cultivator was exposed, he infiltrated the righteous sect and, relying on his looks, had smooth sailing all the way. He even chatted and laughed with many elite disciples of the righteous sects as a casual cultivator.
He did not deny that he had deliberately approached those people at that time, and even wanted to use them to cause trouble to those sects, but before he could do anything, he accidentally fell into Cheng Hui's hands.
For Cheng Hui, he gave up his plan, but he didn't expect that after his identity was accidentally exposed, those "friends" who had been drinking and chatting with him immediately drew a line between themselves and him, and even wanted to cut off all ties with him.
It's so funny. Before his identity was exposed, he had never done anything to let them down!
But what about them? Just because they knew I was a demon cultivator, they immediately turned against me. How hateful!
Of course, they didn't end up in a good situation either. If we were to say what Lin Qingyang's greatest strength was, it was probably his vindictiveness.
It was fine when Cheng Hui was around. After all, he knew Cheng Hui's character, and he had to pretend to be gentle and quiet in front of him.
But after Cheng Hui's death, he almost went crazy. In addition to looking for ways to resurrect Cheng Hui, his daily routine was to cause trouble for those righteous disciples.
Aren't you all ungrateful and treacherous? Don't you wish everyone was as shameless as you, so when you see Cheng Hui, a man who sticks to morality, you madly throw mud at him?
Then I will let you experience what it feels like to be a demon cultivator that everyone hates.
I won’t go into the details of the revenge, it’s just about using various means to seduce them into depravity.
For love, for talent, for women, for men... People always have weaknesses, and Lin Qingyang takes advantage of their weaknesses, turning them from the proud sons of heaven who are high above everyone else into evil cultivators that everyone hates.
A lot of thoughts passed through his mind, but in reality, only a moment passed. Lin Qingyang smiled and comforted him, "Reputation is indeed important. Fortunately, we don't have any concerns in this regard."
Cheng Hui was happy when he heard this, that was true.
Their Corpse Puppet Sect was an unorthodox sect, not as radical as the demonic sect, but not as conservative as the righteous sect. It was precisely because of this neutral approach that both the righteous and demonic sects had low expectations of them.
Simply put, when seeing a demon cultivator killing people, the first reaction of the righteous will definitely be that the demon cultivator is doing evil; if they see a demon cultivator killing people, they will consider whether this person has done something bad.
In other words, the righteous path has very low expectations of the left-wing path, and as long as the left-wing path disciples do not cross this bottom line, no righteous path cultivators will come to them to "exorcise demons and defend the righteous path."
Cheng Hui stretched lazily: "It's been almost a month since we came back. I wonder if the boss has gained anything."
During this month, he stayed indoors and concentrated on comprehending the memory. However, Lin Qingyang would go out to complete a mission from time to time, so at least he did not take Bai Yujing's offering in vain.
Beiliang City is located in a remote area and basically there are no major events. The last time the horse thieves massacred the city and villages and collected human flesh and blood was a tragedy rarely seen in recent years. On weekdays, Bai Yujing is responsible for handling mostly minor disputes between cultivators.
Naturally, there was no need to trouble two half-step Nascent Soul-level priests to take action on such matters. They even hoped that Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang would provide the two offerings for free.
For cultivators, cause and effect are very important. Taking Bai Yujing's offerings for free is equivalent to owing Bai Yujing a favor. When Bai Yujing comes to you for help, will you help him?
Lin Qingyang would naturally not make such a mistake, nor would he allow others to use favors to kidnap Cheng Hui, so he took the initiative and completed the annual quota of tasks for the outer sect in this one month.
Master Wen from Baiyujing was also extremely helpless about this.
The last time the team leader returned to the Baiyujing headquarters, he had reminded him to try to get these two into the Baiyujing inner gate. But it turned out that these two were simply incompatible. Cheng Hui stayed at the manor all day long, and Lin Qingyang would go out, but he always went alone. He was handsome, and many people approached him to get close to him, but were frozen back by his coldness.
As for those people with evil intentions... well, the grass on their graves is probably already one meter high.
Finally, Master Wen was completely resigned. Forget it, let it be whatever it wants. After all, these two were still worshippers of Baiyujing, and could be considered their disciples. So let it be..._(:з」∠)_
In addition to completing the task, Lin Qingyang also did not forget to inquire about the news of various space cracks.
A bounty was even posted on the Baiyujing bounty list. Anyone with confirmed information would receive a large sum of spirit stones.
This day was another day for Lin Qingyang to go out on a mission. He came to the hall of the Baiyujing branch and looked at the huge list hanging on one side. The list listed various tasks, most of which were acquisition and collection tasks, which were not difficult. He never accepted some relatively risky escort missions occasionally, or in other words, he would not participate in any tasks that required him to leave Beiliang City.
Perhaps he was lucky, as someone got the news about the space crack today. Lin Qingyang learned from the staff that someone had accepted his reward, but the other party did not want spirit stones, but wanted to have a face-to-face meeting with him.
"Then let's meet and talk."
Lin Qingyang agreed and was then invited by the staff to a small compartment.
There are many small compartments like this one, which are used for discussions among the people present.
After a while, a monk in a green robe walked in. She was in a hurry and had a sad face. When she saw Lin Qingyang, she was stunned for a moment, and then she showed an ecstatic look.
Lin Qingyang: ...I have a bad feeling for some reason.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
The woman in the green robe has a pretty face, and her figure hidden under the green robe is sexy and enchanting. Although she is wearing the most ordinary Taoist robe, she has a unique charm that arouses people's imagination.
She couldn't sense the cultivation level of the person in front of her, but she knew that anyone who could come up with such a large amount of spirit stones must be extraordinary, and most likely someone she couldn't afford to offend.
"My humble servant greets you, senior." She bowed, her brows slightly furrowed, and her posture was beautiful. If an ordinary person saw her, they would definitely feel a little pity.
Unfortunately, Lin Qingyang could not appreciate the beauty of female cultivators at all, and even felt a little disgusted.
If Ah Hui saw this scene, wouldn't I be unable to explain myself?
Tsk, there are always people trying to sow discord between Ah Hui and me!
Seeing that Lin Qingyang's face was getting colder and colder, the female cultivator immediately realized that she had taken the wrong path. The pitiful look on her face disappeared and she looked calm.
She could sense Lin Qingyang's impatience—he made no attempt to conceal it—and quickly said softly, "Senior, I know the exact location of a spatial rift, but I don't want spirit stones. I hope you can help me solve a problem."
Lin Qingyang glanced at her calmly and said, "Tell me what the space crack you saw looked like."
Space cracks are very rare and most people don't have the chance to come into contact with them. If this woman can't explain it clearly, then he will teach her what it means to speak ill of others!
