Chapter 118: Dark and Windy Night of Murder



Just as Pei Daoyu guessed, before Liusu's tea was brewed, Chang Chunzi said to Qin Gengyun directly:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you may not know that I have always been the one supplying the Zhenyang Sect with elixirs. You were Dao Yu's medicine attendant, so I won't make things difficult for you."

"For these forty elixirs, I will provide you with an elixir furnace and a medicine attendant. Once you have refined them, give them to me and I will help you negotiate with the Zhenyang Sect. The price will definitely be higher than what Danfu Tower offers."

"How about a 70-30 split after the deal is done?"

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Friend Chang, I made the elixir. Is it too little for me to only take 70%?"

Chang Chunzi sneered: "70% is mine, and you are 30%."

The room suddenly became quiet.

"Senior Chang, Fellow Daoist Qin, please do not hurt the harmony!"

Pei Daoyu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"The three of us can join forces. Fellow Daoist Qin will be responsible for refining the elixir, I will be responsible for providing the alchemy site and the elixir furnace, and Senior Chang will be responsible for negotiating the price with the Zhenyang Sect. As long as we cooperate sincerely, there is no need to worry about not making a lot of spirit stones."

Chang Chunzi glanced at him and said, "Okay, but for now, you have to do what I say for this order."

Qin Gengyun laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Chang, even without you, I can still refine high-quality pills by myself, so why worry about not having a market?"

Chang Chunzi's expression turned cold: "Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard that you advanced from the second level of Qi training to the fifth level in just a few months. Your accumulation of experience is indeed admirable. However, there are so many geniuses in the world. If you are not careful, your talent will be extinguished in a single blow."

Qin Gengyun frowned slightly: "Friend Chang, we are just alchemists, why are we so angry?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, this is not the first time you have ruined my deal with the Zhenyang Sect. If Daoyu hadn't pleaded for you, you wouldn't even have the chance to talk to me."

Chang Chunzi looked at Liusu in the kitchen and said in a gloomy tone:

"Your sister-in-law is quite smart and pretty. I heard that you have an even more beautiful wife. I guess you have mastered the path of dual cultivation, right?"

"Have you ever thought that if you were to die suddenly, your wife and sister-in-law might become someone else's dual cultivation partners, and then you would have no chance to regret it."

Pei Daoyu opened his mouth, wanting to smooth things over again, but after hearing Chang Chunzi's words, he could not help but shut up.

How can we smooth things over?

The room became quiet again. Qin Gengyun was silent for a moment, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face:

"Fellow Daoist Chang has invited me so warmly that I cannot refuse. However, I have some ideas about the profit sharing, which cannot be discussed here. How about we discuss it in detail at midnight tonight in the Snow Moon Forest on Yunling Mountain?"

Chang Chunzi laughed out loud: "Fellow Daoist Qin is so sensible of current affairs, he must have a bright future. Let's meet at Yunling Mountain at Yin hour!"

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Chang and Fellow Daoist Pei, take care."

Qin Gengyun stood up to see the guest off. When he reached the door, Chang Chunzi turned around and said with a warning in his tone:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, if you want to leave at night with the two ladies, it will probably be inconvenient."

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I will definitely be there at midnight tonight!"

Chang Chunzi then laughed twice in satisfaction and walked out the door. Pei Daoyu, who was following behind him, smiled bitterly and bowed to Qin Gengyun:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I have something important tonight. Please have a good talk with Senior Chang."

His not going tonight means he won't help either side.

Originally, he wanted to stand on Qin Gengyun's side, but Qin Gengyun's cultivation was only at the fifth level of Qi training, one level lower than Chang Chunzi, so he really didn't dare to bet on the wrong horse.

But he didn't want to offend Qin Gengyun, so he could only choose not to go tonight to express his neutrality.

Qin Gengyun nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Pei, I understand what you mean."

Seeing Qin Gengyun's calm expression, Pei Daoyu's heart trembled for no reason. He didn't say much and bowed to take his leave.

Catching up with Chang Chunzi, Pei Daoyu whispered:

"Senior Chang, there's actually no need for you to be so decisive with Fellow Daoist Qin. After all, we're here to make money, and one more enemy is worse than one more friend."

"Friend?" Chang Chunzi sneered, "Is he worthy?"

"He has repeatedly destroyed my business. I didn't kill him on the spot because of the Yunling Town administrators. Do you still want me to be polite to him?"

Pei Daoyu sighed secretly and said, "Senior Chang, I do have something important tonight, so I can't go with you."

How could Chang Chunzi not see through his thoughts? He sneered, waved his hand, and walked away.

Pei Daoyu stood there, shook his head, and walked towards the Lingdanfang.

Of course I can't join in the fun tonight, but I have to know the result of the negotiations on Yunling Mountain first, so that I can hold on to that real thigh as quickly as possible.

"Qin Gengyun, he's bullying you to the point of being bullied, and you still want to talk to him? You might be a coward in other matters, but you're also a coward in this matter?"

At Qin Gengyun's home, Liusu walked out of the kitchen with a cold expression.

She had also heard Chang Chunzi's words just now. If she hadn't thought about hiding her identity, she would have rushed out and taken action.

I didn't expect that Qin Gengyun would be so cowardly when he heard Chang Chunzi insulting the saint.

How could a saint fall in love with a man like this?

Qin Gengyun ignored Liusu's accusations, handed her the spirit crystal containing all his belongings, and said calmly:

"Susu, if I'm not back by the time of Mao tomorrow, you should leave Yunling Town immediately and go find Zhihe. The two of you should not come back and find a place to live well."

Liu Su was startled: "What do you mean, Mr. Qin?"

Qin Gengyun's expression inexplicably reminded her of what the sect leader and his fellow brothers and sisters said before the battle of Tianlu Mountain.

It is so similar to Qin Gengyun at this moment.

Liusu's heart was beating fast, and she was stunned for a moment.

Qin Gengyun smiled, and took out a few more talismans and pills, all of which were used for self-defense and quick healing in a fight, and stuffed them into Liusu's hands:

"If I really don't come back, remember to tell Zhihe that it is my greatest luck to meet her in this life."

"You..." Liusu stared at him blankly, and Qin Gengyun smiled:

"We didn't have time to buy groceries today, so let's go out to eat tonight."

After saying that, he walked out.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Liusu hurriedly followed him out. Qin Gengyun took her out of the narrow rain alley, came to the prosperous Caifeng Street, and walked into the most famous Yueyinlou in the town.

Sitting down in a high-end box, Qin Gengyun smiled and said to Liusu:

"At the beginning, someone in Lingdanfang got married, and the wedding banquet was scheduled to be held in Yueyin Pavilion. Unfortunately, the man was rejected by the female cultivator and died, so the wedding banquet did not take place. Today, we will come to Yueyin Pavilion to eat by ourselves."

Liusu blinked: "How did that person die?"

Qin Gengyun didn't answer. At this time, the waiter brought in the dishes. When all the dishes were served, Qin Gengyun smiled and picked up some food for Liusu:

"I usually eat all the good food at home, so you can eat more today."

Liusu stared at him blankly, and Qin Gengyun said, "Eat."

The two of them finished their meal quickly. Qin Gengyun stood up and Liusu suddenly grabbed his wrist:

"Sir, I'll go with you tonight."

Qin Gengyun smiled and raised his hand, touching her head like a child:

"Susu, go back and pack your things. Remember what I said, be good."

After saying that, he walked out of Yueyin Tower.

Looking up, the night was like a curtain, with dark clouds covering the sky. He smiled:

"It's a dark and windy night for murder."
