Chapter 56 How Dare You
Several elders of Huangji Sect pushed the prepared compensation gifts forward in a flattering manner and said a lot of nice things. After all, the person in front of them was someone who could not be offended at all in the cultivation world.
It would be fine if he was just Wen Qing's disciple, but this young man had a special identity, and the other lords treated him differently.
Before, he had always been sticking to Lord Yan Fang. Jun Chao was the number one in the immortal way, and all of their sects had to do things according to the Lord's wishes. How could they dare to give He Cen the face he wanted?
When the news reached Huangji Sect, the Sect Leader and others were greatly frightened. They immediately prepared a bunch of gifts to flatter He Cen, fearing that He Cen would bear a grudge.
"Master uncle, take a look at these magical instruments. Do you like any of them? There are many outstanding instrument refiners and alchemists in the Royal Extreme Sect. If you need anything, you can ask for it."
He Cen glanced at it casually, picking and choosing in the box, and finally found a bow after a long time. He looked at it from left to right and liked it very much, "Master~ I like this one!"
Wen Qing nodded, and he came back with the bow to play with.
The elders of Huangji Sect were delighted. It was good that there was something that the young man liked. At least it gave them a step forward.
This time they came specifically for the city lord and brought a lot of good things with them. When they met at Bai's house, many cultivators were watching them.
The Bai family's youngsters were extremely jealous. After they left, they whispered to each other, "The Huangji Sect is really being condescending. They prepared so many good things for that youngster!"
"Everyone has his own life. Didn't you see how casual that young man was in front of the city lord? Even if he was the city lord's confidant, would he dare to lie on him and walk around?"
"That's right. What's more, that person is the disciple of Lord Yanfang. It's ok for the people of Huangji Sect to have a quarrel with Lord City Lord, but do they dare to make trouble under the nose of Immortal Lord?"
"From now on, even if I offend someone, I won't be able to complain. I just hope that this young uncle-master won't try to disguise himself in the future, lest the flood washes away the Dragon King Temple and there's no way to deal with it."
"But I have to say, that great-grandmaster is really handsome. I have never seen a male cultivator more beautiful than him in my life. What do you think a man with such good looks would do..."
…
The discussion of this group of monks continued intermittently, and the Bai family was quite nervous. The Furong Conference was about to be held, and Wen Qing, the lord of the ghost town, suddenly brought his little disciple to visit and play, and clearly stated that it was He Cen who was interested. They were very nervous.
Even though there seemed to be no problems with the Crimson Moon Hibiscus Flower on the surface, Wen Qing was a powerful being in the fusion stage. How could he not see any problems at all?
If this young master likes the Red Moon Hibiscus Flower, it would be fine if he picked some for fun. But if he takes it and has any side effects, those masters will crush the Bai family to ashes...
Thinking of this, the Bai family's patriarch and elders were extremely worried.
They don't have any pure Red Moon Hibiscus flowers at the moment. If Wen Qing finds out, it will be a big problem.
The Bai family had already ordered all activities to be put on hold. Fortunately, the cleanup work had been done very well before, so there should be no traces left, making the investigation more difficult.
Now we can only hope that the city lord really brought his little apprentice here to play.
Wen Qing, the big boss who controls the ghost market, is already extremely wealthy. Who knows how many treasures he can buy for He Cen during this trip.
They were staying in the east courtyard of the Bai residence, and every day the servants who went to help would come back with exaggerated stories, which made these self-righteous and arrogant people feel jealous.
The young master of the Bai family was now sitting in Ouyang Yinyin's room, drinking tea with an angry look on his face. "I really don't know what my father was thinking, asking me to please that kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet!"
"He is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, how dare he do that?"
"I really don't know what those lords like about him. They pamper him so much. You don't even know how many good things the city lord bought for him in one go. As long as he likes something, he'll get it all."
Ouyang Yinyin was shocked. That blond boy and the Lord of Ghost Town are here?
Isn't this a good opportunity?
I'm worried that I won't be able to get close to my target.
She said a few words to comfort Mr. Bai, and with her gentle and considerate personality, she quickly calmed him down.
"If Mr. Bai doesn't want to, I can accompany you. I was originally a disciple of Tianhai Sect. That great-grandmaster has lived in the Suoyue Pavilion for a long time. He will not give me no face at all."
"Even if he doesn't like me, I can still help you relieve some of the pressure, so don't be angry..."
When the young master of the Bai family heard this, he was immediately more satisfied with her. If Ouyang Yinyin had not had a veil on her face and her wounds had not yet healed, he really would have been unable to wait and wanted to kiss her.
The two of them sat for a while longer, and did not separate until late at night.
As soon as Mr. Bai left, Ouyang Yinyin couldn't wait to talk to the system, "Have any tasks related to the target been released?"
The system updated, and then the electronic voice sounded, [The favorability is less than 10%, and the new strategy mission cannot be unlocked for the time being. Please complete the basic mission first. 】
Ouyang Yinyin's face fell all of a sudden. "Basic mission Basic mission Basic what a bullshit!"
"You know that without the Sword Spirit, I can't complete the basic mission at all!"
"If I continue like this, I will never be able to complete the strategy mission in my lifetime, let alone ascend to the heavens. Without those people as stepping stones for me, how long will it take for me to cultivate on my own?"
The few basic tasks that the system initially issued to Ouyang Yinyin were all related to the sword spirit.
After she captured the sword spirit, the next basic task for Jun Chao was to become his disciple.
Unfortunately, He Cen intervened and intercepted the journey, and the Guichuan Sword was also lost.
The basic task when facing the Demon Lord is to find the strange fire. Without the sword spirit, she can't find any treasure. What's more, He Cen has already done it for her, so her basic task has been delayed.
The basic missions of the City Lord and the Demon King were finally unlocked. One required her to go to the Hundred Demons Alliance, and the other required her to go to Paradise City. Without the Sword Spirit, she couldn't even find those places, let alone go.
Losing the Guichuan Sword was like starting over for her. Without the Sword Spirit, she would never be able to conquer other targets, and she was stuck in a vicious circle. Now, because she was far away from the target, the system didn't even release any side quests.
When she was close to Jun Chaobei Qi in Suoyue Pavilion, she had various tasks every now and then, such as repairing the piano and delivering cakes. But now that she can't get close to Wen Qing, she can't unlock any tasks.
Tomorrow she will go with Mr. Bai no matter what, even if it means losing face.
After discussing this with the system, Wen Qing withdrew his awareness of spying, "He He, are you going out tomorrow?"
He Cen's eyes sparkled, "Go out, why not go out? Just let her unlock the mission and not be able to complete it, and make her mad to death!"
