Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Present Crisis (2)

Zhong Hou pondered for a moment before he said, "In this way, the second elder means to let me worship under your door and get your protection." Then use the refining inheritance as a bargaining chip and negotiate with the sect in exchange for the greatest benefits?"

If there is no relationship with Mo Hongyue, even if Zhong Hou really wants to negotiate, he is not qualified enough.

But with this relationship, Zhong Houda can push Mo Hongyue to the negotiating table and take advantage of the situation to fight for the greatest interests for himself.

Otherwise, what awaits him is either to bow his head and give in to the softness and selflessly contribute to the inheritance. Either torture to extract confessions, and force the inheritance to be questioned.

Half Moon Mountain Villa really wants to be strong, and Zhong Hou has no room for resistance at all.

It can be seen from Mo Hongyue's words that she is definitely a frank person, without the slightest crooked mind in her heart, even if she wants to get the inheritance, but she has not hidden it from beginning to end, and she admitted it very calmly.

At the same time, it can be seen that she has a heart of love for talents, and she sincerely wants to accept Zhong Hou as a disciple.

If Zhong Hou was just this secret, he agreed without saying a word.

But his secrets are gone. If he really worships under Mo Hongyue's sect, his secret can be leaked at any time, not to mention those ill-intentioned elders, even Mo Hongyue may not know what to do.

After figuring it out, Zhong Hou's expression changed from indifference to guilt and said, "I blamed the Second Elder for being wrong, and I also thank the Second Elder for speaking for me in the sect." However, although my second elder is thinking about me, I still can't worship under your door, as for the inheritance of refining the body... To be honest, it may be important and precious to me, but to you strong people, it's not worth mentioning at all. If you really want it, I'll give it to you, as long as you don't scold me when you get it. ”

Zhong Hou was well disguised, Mo Hongyue didn't see the flaw, but she was very puzzled by Zhong Hou's decision.

She asked herself that what she said was reasonable, and that she should not refuse according to normal thinking, so she asked curiously: "Why do you always refuse to worship me as a teacher? I am so unbearable? I don't even have the qualifications to be your master? Also, why do we scold you?"

Zhong Hou looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and made up nonsense: "There was once a fortune teller told me my fortune, he said that I was destined to be a lone star in the sky, and I was destined to die alone in this life, as long as it was someone close to me, without exception, I would not die well." At first, I thought it was a charlatan, but in the end, I found out that my parents and the teacher who taught me to read and write had accidents. ”

As he spoke, Zhong Hou thought of his parents, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten. However, this expression only increased the credibility of his words.

It's just that he didn't lie completely, his parents did die unexpectedly.

As for the teacher who teaches literacy, Uncle Zhou...

Zhong Hou didn't curse him, Zhong Hou just said an accident, and didn't say it in detail. Accidents can be big or small, bumps and bumps are also accidents, and no one stipulates that accidents must kill people.

Zhong Hou wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes slightly, and continued: "As for why you scolded me... Of course, it's because the refinement inheritance that you have coveted for a long time is just rubbish, and it is not worthy of your attention at all, so you will scold me... ”

There are also all kinds of people in this world, and Xiangshi is one of them. However, in the eyes of cultivators, Xiangshi and liars are equated.

If it wasn't explained clearly, Mo Hongyue would definitely not believe it. But Zhong Hou not only explained, but also performed with emotion, so Mo Hongyue couldn't help but believe it.

There are also many things in this world that cannot be explained, and even cultivators cannot deny or ignore their existence.

Cultivation is to go against the sky, which is the common knowledge recognized in the cultivation world. Even if today's cultivators don't know that they have 'gone astray', it does not prevent them from recognizing the word 'against the heavens'.

This also shows in disguise that cultivators agree with the existence of 'Heavenly Will'.

Regardless of whether the Xiangshi is a liar or not, Zhong Hou's 'experience' cannot be faked. Since the 'providence' is like this, Mo Hongyue can't joke with her life.

After thinking cautiously for a moment, Mo Hongyue finally gave up the idea of taking Zhong Hou as an apprentice.

She understands that 'providence' cannot be violated, but this is not the point, the point is that Zhong Hou's repeated refusal made her very faceless, if she continues to force it, that face will only be lost more and more, which is not what she wants to see.

However, Mo Hongyue didn't believe in the later explanation, but anything related to 'antiquity' would not be simple, and it would never be as unbearable as Zhong Hou said.

So she immediately asked, "Are you really willing to give up the opportunity to negotiate, give up all your interests, and contribute the refining inheritance?"

"I said, if you want, take it. ”

"Okay, whether what you say is true or not, I will take credit to you on behalf of the sect. After I report to the sect, I will definitely not treat you badly. ”

At this point, Zhong Hou took the pen and paper without the slightest hesitation.

In order not to expose more of his secrets, in order to be able to smoothly investigate the information he wanted, and more importantly, for his own life, Zhong Hou had no choice but to copy out the first and second layers of "Basic Alchemy".

This is already his limit.

Although he knew that Half Moon Mountain Villa would not necessarily stop there, he might still suspect that he had follow-up exercises. But he estimated that the first and second level exercises should buy him a little time.

As long as he grasps this time and does what he needs to do, when he leaves Half Moon Villa, the sky will be high and the birds will fly.

As for whether Half Moon Mountain Villa will treat him as a traitor or what will happen after leaving, he doesn't care.

Anyway, because of the relationship between the cloud stack cave, sooner or later the two will have to stand on opposite sides. In that case, why care about what Half Moon Villa thinks of you.

When he grows up, he really pushes him to be anxious, and he doesn't mind killing Half Moon Villa seven in and seven out.

After copying the first and second layers of the "Basic Body Alchemy", Zhong Hou stopped talking nonsense and directly asked Mo Hongyue to send him back to the living area of the outer disciples.

Because the area of Half Moon Villa is too large, if Zhong Hou is allowed to walk back by himself, he will not know how to go to the Year of the Monkey.

Mo Hongyue also didn't talk nonsense, she gave Zhong Hou a ride absentmindedly, and then she couldn't wait to go back to study the first and second layers of "Basic Alchemy".

Mo Hongyue has lived for I don't know how many years, so she naturally easily saw through Zhong Hou's careful thoughts, but she didn't expose it. First, she did have a love for talent, and second, she hoped that she would study this incomplete body refining method first to see if she had gained anything.

If the body refining inheritance is really as unbearable as Zhong Hou said, even if she forces the follow-up exercises from Zhong Hou's mouth, it will be meaningless.

On the contrary, she has thousands of ways to make Zhong Hou obediently hand over the follow-up exercises, just like today.

Today, her starting point is good, and she never thought that Zhong Hou would be so generous to hand over part of the refining inheritance. But from the side, Zhong Hou is still a child who has not been deeply involved in the world, and in front of her, an old fritter, she can't play any tricks at all.

If she didn't have the heart of love, even if she didn't have to be strong, she still had a way to deceive all the refining inheritance from Zhong Hou's hands.

Of course, this was just Mo Hongyue's idea, but she didn't know that Zhong Hou also had his little abacus in his heart.
