Chapter 73: There Are No Impermeable Walls
Wu Bencao had already guessed that this Cao Xianyu had ulterior motives and was not an ordinary guest.
For his own safety, he didn't dare to walk over, but still stood behind the counter, and said tentatively: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, this shouldn't be your true face, right?"
When Cao Xianyu heard this, his expression was slightly different, "Boss Wu's eyes are discerning, and he has seen through it." That's right, walking the rivers and lakes with my daughter is inconvenient, and the group of rough people just now surrounded me, if I knew that I was a woman, I am afraid it would only be more rampant. ”
No wonder she has a fair and delicate face, and her demeanor is full of feminine beauty, it turns out that she is a woman dressed as a man.
Wu Bencao said casually: "We don't know each other, what can we talk about?"
In fact, he was in a shocking mood, and it was not as indifferent as it seemed on the surface. What shocked him was not that the girl Qiao was dressed as a man, but that she was at a prime age, not a few years older than herself, but she had already entered the second realm, which was enough to make countless men embarrassed.
A woman's delicate posture is often a congenital cultivation disadvantage, which shows that Cao Xianyu's talent is really amazing. Such a genius must have come from the big local sect, what is the plan to come to this small goose city?
Cao Xianyu smiled, her eyes flashing, "There are a lot of things we can talk about, but do you plan to talk to me all the time from such a distance? I'm not a tiger, I can't eat people, why be so vigilant?"
Wu Bencao was unmoved, and said in his heart, women are more terrible than tigers, eat people and don't spit out bones, it's good to keep such a distance, although I am currently single, I don't want to be a beauty.
Seeing this, Cao Xianyu's smile became thicker, lifted the corners of his robe, and walked to the counter generously.
The two were close at hand.
Wu Bencao lowered his left hand, secretly touched the handle of the kitchen knife, and said casually: "Say, what do you want to talk about?"
Cao Xianyu learned his posture just now, supported his cheek with his thin hand, looked at him curiously, and said, "I'm very puzzled, you are obviously younger than me, not to mention how you cook, you can be promoted to the eightfold cultivation so quickly, are you really an ordinary small town boy?"
She is everyone's best girl, carefully cultivated by her family since she was a child, and consumes countless rare resources to have today's amazing cultivation. Therefore, she knew very well that, to a certain extent, the essence of cultivation was to fight for resources, and most of the poor people lost at the starting line.
Wu Bencao lives in the remote Goose City, the conditions are very poor in all aspects, even the magnates in the city are difficult to cultivate, and they can only rely on time to slowly polish it, he is weak, how did he do it?
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Wu Bencao spoke, maintaining a cold expression on his face, unwilling to be accosted by this girl, let alone being spied on. Although Cao Xianyu is handsome, if he changes back into women's clothes, he should be charming and moving, but in his eyes, there is no difference from Qiao Biluo last time.
It's just trying to seduce him.
Cao Xianyu didn't feel ashamed when he saw that he deliberately distanced himself, and said with a smile: "I'm just curious, I asked casually, and I didn't mean anything else." Since you don't like small talk, I'll just say it, the fat man is right, I really want to dig into the wall. ”
Niu Huan had guessed her motive before, and at this moment, she admitted it calmly.
Wu Bencao had a bottom in his heart, so he let go of the handle of the knife under the counter and asked, "Who is the girl sacred? When it comes to digging the foot of the wall, I have to find out your identity and origin before I can decide whether to be poached by you." ”
He knew very well that on the surface, Cao Xianyu admired his cooking skills, but to put it bluntly, he still came for the two medicinal meals. What the three major families can't do, this foreign girl wants to try.
Cao Xianyu replied without thinking: "My name is Cao Xianyu, I am the daughter of the Sect Master of Haoyang, and I live in Xiongzhou City, three hundred miles away. The elders love to call me salted fish, if you are willing to be my junior brother, hehe, you can also call me that. ”
Wu Bencao's heart sank.
There are 36 states in Datang, and Xiongzhou is one of them. According to the administrative division, Goose City is under the jurisdiction of Xiongzhou, located in a remote corner, no matter from which aspect, compared with Xiongzhou, Goose City is only a drop in the bucket.
And the Haoyang Sect mentioned by Cao Xianyu, although he had never heard of it, he could guess that it should be a huge sect in Xiongzhou City, and its power was difficult to estimate. The eldest lady of Haoyang Sect threw out an olive branch and solicited it herself, and its weight was not the same as that of the three earth snakes.
At this point, he must reply cautiously, and once he turns his face into the enemy, the deep crisis he will face at that time will not be settled by blowing up a few gas canisters.
His mind turned sharply, and he was silent on the surface, and asked, "Miss Cao, you said that you want to dig the foot of the wall, do you want me to worship under the Haoyang Sect and be your junior brother?"
Cao Xianyu blinked, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was handsome and indescribably pleasing to the eye.
"I do want you to join the Haoyang Sect, but don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to be an ordinary disciple. I am the daughter of the sect master, if you become my junior brother, if you count your seniority status, all the people who are taller than you are old men, no one dares to bully you!"
She said very bluntly, afraid that Wu Bencao would underestimate her sincerity.
Wu Bencao's heart was slightly relieved, and she said secretly, she seems to have come for my cultivation talent, and she wants to recruit geniuses for the sect, so it is the best, and it is easier to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Cao Xianyu's words changed sharply, and he continued: "The Alchemy Hall is one of the core organizations of our sect, and last month, the hall master Elder Xiao just passed away, and the position is still vacant. I think that with the divine effect of the Soup of Hope and the Purple Dragon Noodles, you are worthy of the position of the Master of the Medicine Hall!"
Sure enough, in the end, her goal was also medicinal food.
As long as he can make Wu Bencao his own, then, as a member of the sect, he should do his best to cook a large amount of medicinal food for his disciples and help the Haoyang Sect develop and grow. Using him as free labor is not much better than stealing recipes.
When Wu Bencao heard this, he fell silent.
"It seems that this time, we are going to deal with a sect......"
Cao Xianyu knew that he was unwilling, and added: "You might as well say it directly, I came to Goose City this time because I was ordered to negotiate with you." As long as you are willing to join, other conditions are easy to discuss, unlike those three families, we respect your strength and sincerely invite you. ”
There is no impermeable wall in the world, Wu Bencao is known as Zhengoose City, and the power of medicinal food has long been a household name, and sooner or later it will spread to other places and be targeted by a big force like Haoyang Sect.
It is impossible to be self-contained and reign in this small place forever.
If he can jump out of a Haoyang Sect today, he will have a Haoyin Sect coming to the door tomorrow, forcing him to make a choice, and he will always have to face this problem.
He was silent for a long time, then looked up and replied, "My sister and I grew up in Goose City, and we have never traveled far away, let alone moved to live in other places. This matter must be discussed in the long run, and I can only give you an answer after discussing it with her, otherwise, it will only be perfunctory to express my position on the spot. ”
As a last resort, he doesn't want to directly stiffen the relationship and cut off his own way back.
Cao Xianyu nodded, seemed to be satisfied with his answer, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I will live in Goose City for a few days and accompany a senior to celebrate the New Year." If you have any ideas, you can always go to the City Lord's Mansion to find me!"
