The situation inside the main peak tower was tense.
Just as Chu Qiurong said, Yuzhe came here with chicken feathers as a token of authority and threatened Nie Yanchen with Tu Nian's clan membership, asking him to hand the person back. Naturally, Nie Yanchen refused.
Yuzhe then escalated to coercion and inducement.
From small items like the Wanhua Guiyuan Pill to big items like rare treasures, the two of them fought back and forth for many rounds.
Tu Nian and others were eavesdropping outside the tower with the help of the Taichung Talisman. When they heard the other party's condition of exchanging a top-grade treasure for Tu Nian's return to Yuqing, not only the three eavesdropping brothers, but even Tu Nian himself was a little flattered.
"What does this old guy Yuzhe want?"
Xu Ziqiao pointed at Tu Nian with an expression of incomprehension, "Why would you go back to your ancestors and make things difficult for yourself?"
"How can you talk like that!"
Chu Qiurong slapped him on the head in annoyance. Xu Ziqiao was used to it, so he instinctively shrank his head and dodged, pretending nothing happened.
Turning around, Chu Qiurong smacked her lips at Tu Nian and said, "But don't say it, the words are rough but the logic is not."
How could Tu Nian not understand this?
Yuzhe spent so much money to recruit himself to return to Yuqing. After thinking about it, it seems that the only explanation that makes sense is alchemy.
While they were discussing, Nie Yanchen's voice came from the Shunfeng Talisman. Everyone suddenly became quiet and listened attentively for his answer. Tu Nian's heart was beating like a drum.
Fortunately, Nie Yanchen did not let her down. In a word, her cheap master overcame all difficulties and firmly chose to protect his son.
A huge stone fell from their hearts, and Tu Nian and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Ziqiao suddenly looked up and said in surprise: "Master won't agree to this!"
Chu Qiurong's attack was immediately broken, and she hit him with a slap again. This time Xu Ziqiao couldn't dodge it and cried out in pain.
Although they were happy, everyone suddenly realized that after Nie Yanchen rejected the other party, there was no further words in the Shunfeng Talisman.
"Why is there no movement?"
Xu Ziqiao asked after poking the glowing wind-saving talisman twice in curiosity.
Tu Nian saw at a glance that it wasn't a problem with the talisman, and frowned as he said, "Given Yuzhe's personality, if he's dragging his feet until now, he must be anxious."
Sure enough, after a while, Yu Zhe's indifferent voice came from the talisman.
"Since Sect Master Nie is so stubborn, I don't think there's any need for us to continue discussing this. In three days, I, Yuqing, will bring my clan members to your sect to retrieve him. If your sect refuses to hand him over, we will follow the rules."
Then there was a rustling sound, as if someone was about to leave the main peak tower.
Going through so much trouble just to make a harsh statement?
Tu Nian was stunned. This didn't seem to be Yu Zhe's character.
Jin Nanfeng's brows twitched slightly after hearing this, and he lowered his eyes to look at her, "Does Yuzhe have something on you?"
Tu Nian first shook his head in confusion, and just as he was about to speak, his tone became hesitant. Finally, he gave a vague answer, "Probably not."
She herself did not have any handle that fell into the hands of that rogue, but it was her parents who entrusted the original owner to Yuqing. She could not guarantee whether there were any loopholes in the process.
"People are coming out!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from inside the tower, Chu Qiurong hurriedly gestured to Tu Nian, who was still trying to figure out the evidence.
Tu Nian acted slowly, and when Yu Zhe brought Su Youzhi out of the tower, she just happened to hide in the blind spot of their sight.
Chu Qiurong and she had a tacit understanding. The moment she hid there, she had already gone to the other side. When Su Youyi opened the door, she immediately said lightly, "Hey, little beauty, see you again."
He bumped head-on into three big men squatting outside the door, and then Chu Qiurong's provocative shout startled Su Youzhi. Behind her was Yu Zhe, who was holding Xiao Yunxiang and the other two who were sent by Yuqing to gather information, using some unknown technique. Seeing them like this, his brows were slightly frowned.
Su Youzhi came back to his senses and looked at them angrily, "How come you grown men are eavesdropping like women?"
Xu Ziqiao didn't indulge her at all. He curled his lips in disdain, "This is our sect. We can go wherever we want. There's no need to 'steal'. But some people pretend to be bandits in broad daylight and come to our sect to make trouble. We really need to correct this bad behavior."
Xu Ziqiao had been trained by Tu Nian for the past six months, and his eloquence had improved significantly. How could a girl like Su Youyi stand up to him? After hearing his indirect criticism, she immediately became furious and said, "Who are you calling a bandit?"
Su Youzhi had been holding a grudge ever since Tu Nian tricked him into taking Feng Li away and Bo Qiu "hurt his feelings" last time. He was almost like a balloon that would explode at the slightest touch. Now that Xu Ziqiao had provoked him like this, he almost wanted to fight him on the spot.
"Youzhi."
Yuzhe saw her intention and spoke out to stop her from taking any further action.
Su Youzhi was angry, but it was not easy to disobey her master's orders. Finally, she gritted her teeth and stood respectfully behind Yuzhe no matter how Xu Ziqiao faced that provocative face.
Correspondingly, Chu Qiurong came to Xu Ziqiao. Jin Nanfeng seemed to be motionless, but in fact his spiritual consciousness had already locked onto Yu Zhe, ready to rescue Xu Ziqiao at any time.
However, as a top-level cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation, Yu Zhe obviously had no intention of making things difficult for a junior from another sect. He simply glanced at Xu Ziqiao next to him, then raised his hand, flew away with Su Youzhi on his sword.
After the two left, Tu Nian came out from the corner where he was hiding. At the same time, Xu Ziqiao also bent down and took two deep breaths.
"Damn, this old guy is not a good person, but he is really strong."
He had just broken through to the late Golden Core stage a few days ago. According to the strength of his pure fire spiritual root, he was definitely not on the same level as cultivators of the same level. He was proud of this for several days.
But Yu Zhe's look made him understand that even the purest spiritual roots were useless in the face of absolute strength.
The moment Yuzhe looked at him, he felt as if all the air around him had been sucked out. Even if the other party really came up and strangled him to death, he would probably have no power to resist.
"Don't be so rude when you see him next time."
Jin Nanfeng spoke calmly, simply stating the facts: "Forget about you, even if I were under his hands, I might not be able to last more than three breaths."
To put it bluntly, Yu Zhe just disdains to fight with the younger generation. Otherwise, at his level, killing a person would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Looking at Xu Ziqiao, whose face was pale and clearly still in shock, Chu Qiurong sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Practice diligently."
A few people chatted casually. Tu Nian looked at the direction where Yu Zhe and the others had left, wondering what she was thinking. Jin Nanfeng noticed her absent-mindedness and called out to her, "Sanni, what do you think?"
Tu Nian slowly retracted his gaze upon hearing the voice and shrugged, "What else can I do? When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when water comes, we will block it with earth. After all, I will not go back with Yuqing."
