Chapter 39
"I was chatting with Chu Yu that day, and he once talked about a person, and it seemed that this Chu Yang was very close to him. Chu Yu said, Chu Yang is the grandson of my second grandfather, and he is also the strongest of the younger generation of the Chu family, and his cultivation has reached the realm of the Yuan Sea Realm, if Chu Yang's behavior is really instigated, then it must be him. In the Chu family, except for my grandfather's lineage, they are the most powerful in this line, and the second grandfather has always been at odds with my uncle and them, I think, he will definitely have a plan against my father. With his identity, of course, he can't deal with me personally, so this task naturally falls on Chu Hechuan. I have already shown some potential in the battle with Cui Cheng, and Chu Hechuan, as the strongest person of the younger generation, will definitely not allow me to sit on his head and ride on him, so he will definitely try his best to suppress me. If I can suppress my confidence and sharpness through a duel, even if it fails, it will affect the opinion of some of the rest of the family's high-level people, and thus affect my resource allocation, which is limited to me."
"I didn't expect you to see the problem so thoroughly" Ao Pi couldn't help but be amazed, "I thought you had been patronizing and cultivating during this time, but I didn't expect you to fall behind in this regard."
"This is what my dad taught me on the way home. Dad said, cultivation is the most important, but to survive in a family, the necessary scheming is also needed, otherwise, how can I make the most of my limited resources. Chu Mo said, "It's like the Chu family, although my grandfather is the head of the family, there are many high-level people in the family who can check and balance his power, even if he can't do whatever he wants to cultivate me, he can only secretly open some convenient doors for me, if you want to really get the attention of the high-level of the family, you can only rely on myself." As long as I can show enough strength to let them see that I have the potential to surpass everyone in the family, all the resources of the family will naturally be tilted towards me, and even some of the high-level people who were originally wavering will move closer to my grandfather, so that he can control the power to a greater extent. ”
"That's why you have to take Chu Yang and Chu Hechuan to open the knife," Ao Pi said.
"That's natural, since they chose to calculate me, then I naturally want them to look good" Chu Mo smiled deeply, "You wait and see, the bet I put forward this time, with Chu Yang's ability, he will definitely not be able to take it out, he will definitely go to Chu Hechuan to borrow it." I deliberately hid my means just now, and I think he must think that he can completely restrain me, so he must have no scruples. Hehe, the 10,000-gold bet is not a small amount, even Chu Hechuan may not be able to take it, if I defeat Chu Yang on the spot and take away this savings, Chu Hechuan will definitely be furious, and even can't help but challenge me again on the spot, and then I can quickly replace him as the first person of the younger generation of the Chu family as long as I defeat him again. With the seniority of fifteen, I surpass the so-called geniuses that these families have painstakingly cultivated for many years, even if the family leaders sway again, they will definitely pay attention to me immediately, not to mention the tilt of resources, I am afraid that my grandfather will teach me the four-grade combat skills in his hands, and they will not have any opinions. ”
"It's really easy to calculate" Hearing Chu Mo's tirade, Ao Pi admired it, but couldn't help but tease, "But you seem to have overlooked one of the most important issues"
"What kind of question" Although Chu Mo had an inquiring tone, there was a look of Zhizhu on his face.
Ao Pi asked: "Excuse me, where is your bet Except for those ten red blood spirit pills, you seem to be poorer than that Chu Yang, before the decisive battle, if you can't come up with the bet, how will you end up?"
Ao Pi's face was proud, and he seemed happy to be able to catch Chu Mo's sore feet.
Chu Mo said arrogantly: "I don't still have you."
"I" Ao Pi couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Yes, who else but you" Chu Mo smiled shamelessly, "Isn't it just a thousand gold, there are so many treasures in your treasure house, it's enough to scrape a layer of sand out casually, hehe, dear little eagle, I don't think you will die without saving it."
"Fuck your grandmother's legs," Ao Pi said angrily, "Your calculations have been calculated against me." You think it's beautiful, I told you a long time ago, I will give you every penny of your idea of beating my baby less."
"I don't have the idea of beating your baby" Chu Mo looked innocent, "That's just a bet, used to fill the scene, after winning then, I will still return it to you as it is, those treasures are still yours, I can't move anything I taught it by yourself, don't you have confidence in my strength Do you think I'll lose Bastard Xiaoying, you shouldn't lie to me, in fact, my strength is not as strong as you boast at all, let alone Chu Hechuan, in fact, I can't even beat Chu Yang, Isn't that right?" as he spoke, Chu Mo suddenly spoke sharply and began to accuse Ao Pilai.
"How could I lie to you," Ao Pi hurriedly said, "Not to mention anything else, with your current cultivation and physical strength that surpasses that of stainless steel and is comparable to the peak of a mid-level mortal treasure, you can already be invincible in front of the cultivators in the early stage of the Yuan Sea Realm, and you can also have a chance to win or win with the cultivators in the middle of the Yuan Sea Realm, except for some extremely perverted existences, no one can hurt you."
"Then what's there to be afraid of" Chu Mo changed back to a grinning appearance, "I'm just borrowing it, you won't have anything to lose, you won't be stingy to this extent, right?"
"Okay, okay, lend it to you" Ao Pi couldn't bear Chu Mo's soft grinding and hard bubbles, thinking that he really didn't have anything to lose, and finally agreed, "But you must return it to me after using it" At the end, Ao Pi reminded him uneasily.
"Anla, Anla, look at your slamming appearance" Chu Mo didn't care, "I knew you were a kind little eagle" got the promise, Chu Mo didn't hesitate to praise him, just grinded his mouth, and there was nothing to lose. As for what was promised earlier, hehe
"I know that I am a kind eagle, and I still need you to say" Ao Pi raised his head, but also a little dissatisfied, "You will say some unreasonable compliments every time, and I don't know if I can give Grandpa Eagle some benefits, such as helping me reduce my service period by a few years or something."
"You also said that I am very calculating, I think you are a good calculating" Chu Mo couldn't help but pass on a grimace, "You just borrowed a little thing, and didn't pay anything, just thinking about letting me reduce the burden on you, your idea is too good."
"That's an extra help for you, it's not too much for you to mean casually" Although he knew that it was impossible, Ao Pi still tried his best to fight for it.
"Forget it, who told me to be soft-hearted, I will fulfill your wishes, what do you mean" As soon as Chu Mo said this, Ao Pi was so excited that he almost came out of his body and spread his wings and soared, but what he said next was to knock it from the sky to the ground at once, "In this way, I will subtract an hour for you, and you don't have to protect me for a hundred years, it's interesting enough."
"Poof" Ao Pi almost spurted blood, "What's the difference between an hour and not reduced"
"Why is there no difference, the difference is big" Chu Mo was serious, and said, "Look, you originally wanted to protect me for a hundred years, but now I subtract an hour from your life, then there are only ninety-nine years, eleven months, twenty-nine days, and eleven hours, do you know what this means, which means that you can be liberated one hour earlier, one hour, do you know how long an hour is, there are seven thousand two hundred moments, seven thousand two hundred, what an amazing number this is, you are not satisfied"
"Why don't you die" Ao Pi couldn't help but roar in Chu Mo's heart, it could be regarded as seeing Chu Mo's shamelessness.
"Look at what you said, I want to die, my life is connected with your life, I die is not your death, Xiaoying, you shouldn't think about it, you can't think about it, if that's the case, you just go out and buy a piece of tofu and kill it, how can you be so troublesome, but remember to leave all your treasures before you die, don't waste anything, you haven't lived enough, don't want to die, then you just think that I don't need to subtract this hour for you, then forget it, then when I am kind enough to become a donkey's liver and lungs, I haven't said anything, You'd better continue to serve for a hundred years."
In the face of Chu Mo's chatter, Ao Pi finally couldn't help but let out a long howl, hoping to express the resentment in his heart
"Young Master Chu Mo, can you let go of my hand" Tulip was held by Chu Mo's little hand, and her face couldn't help but turn crimson, she had never been held by a boy like this However, Chu Mo is her master after all, let alone pulling hands, he just has more excessive actions, and she can't resist.
"You still call me young master" Chu Mo smiled, but he didn't let go of his hand, "Didn't I recognize you as my sister in front of everyone just now, you are no longer a subordinate, but my sister, remember, you call me brother first and let me listen, or I won't let you go"
The communication between Chu Mo and Ao Pi lies in the frequent change of minds, he still looks casual on the surface, and while he is idle with Ao Pi, he is walking at the same time, talking to Tulip, distracting and not delaying.
"How can this work" Tulip mantis lowered its head, and her clear eyes crossed a touch of panic and panic. Although Chu Mo's behavior moved her very much, and she was willing to get close to him, the dignity of her identity was like a moat between them, so that she didn't have the courage to set foot on it.
"Since you are so disobedient, then I can't let go of your hand" Chu Mo's face sank, pretending to be angry and unhappy.
Seeing this, Tulip couldn't help but flash a complicated look in his eyes, as if he had finally relented after a struggle of thoughts.
"Flutter" Chu Mo couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "What do you call Young Brother Chu Mo, what are you called, am I very small in your eyes?"
"That's not what I meant," Tulip couldn't help but blush.
"Come, call again, I'll let you go" Chu Mo followed the temptation, just like a wolf uncle who abducted a girl, and vowed not to give up until he reached his goal.
"Brother Chu Mo" Tulip looked at Chu Mo, his originally flustered eyes gradually became firm, and he finally mustered up his courage.
"That's good" Chu Mo smiled and let go of the hand holding Tulip, and rubbed it affectionately on her head, making Tulip have no owner, and her little hands kept fiddling with the hem of her clothes.
After working hard for so long, he finally "adjusted" the girl Tulip, Chu Mo couldn't help but feel good, listening to this kind cry, he couldn't help but make this familiar action that he hadn't done for a long time, "I don't know how the girl is doing" Chu Mo was suddenly reminded of the pleasant memories in Anding Village.
"Brother Chu Mo, what's wrong with you" Looking at Chu Mo's look of remembrance, Tulip couldn't help but ask with concern.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, Tulip herself didn't find out, after the first brother called out, the weak barrier between her and Chu Mo was also broken, she not only began to naturally substitute herself into the role of her sister, but even the tone of her voice slowly became natural.
"It's okay, I just remembered some things from the past" Chu Mo suppressed his thoughts and showed a gentle smile at Tulip, "Let's go, for the sake of you being so well-behaved today, brother, I'll take you out for a walk, have fun"
"Go out to play" Tulip only then realized that the two of them were walking down the mountain
Shunde City is a medium-sized city, covering a majestic area, broad and boundless, Kangzhuang Avenue, Qianmo vertical and horizontal, garden courtyards, pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere, cars are like flowing water and horses are like dragons, a lively and prosperous scene.
"A lot of houses, a lot of people, a lively scene, a big city is a big city, and a non-mountain village can be compared" Chu Mo walked on the spacious street with a tulip, looking at the noisy and lively atmosphere, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Although Chu Mo has been home for a while, he has been passing by on the day of his return trip, and what he has seen and heard is only a quick glance, without much feeling, and these days, he has been busy cultivating, not leaving Chu Jiafeng an inch, strictly speaking, this is the first time he has gone out, and the first time he has really known the big city of Shunde.
"Tulip, you have lived in Shunde City since you were a child, do you know what to do with it" Facing this strange city, Chu Mo couldn't help but have a dark eye, and he didn't know where to go, so he had to turn to Tulip, a native of Tulip.
"Brother Chu Mo, my identity is humble, I have been working here since I can remember, doing odd jobs there, although I grew up in the city, but I haven't actually seen the city very well, let alone playing" Tulip seemed to recall some bad past, and a touch of gloom couldn't help but appear in her clear eyes, and at the same time, she was also a little embarrassed that she couldn't even help Chu Mo with such a little thing.
"Don't worry, those hard days are gone forever" Looking at Tulip with a look of wanting to cry, Chu Mo couldn't help but comfort while feeling distressed, he didn't want Tulip to be entangled on this topic, so he immediately returned to the topic, "Since that's the case, then let's go with the flow"
Chu Mo smashed his mouth, looked around, and pulled the tulip to follow with the endless crowd, in short, where there are many people.
"Hey, what kind of place is this" Chu Mo and the others stopped in front of a towering gate, "Bazaar, by the way, I remembered, Dad seems to have been in advance before, this is a place to buy and sell goods." I saw that the two strong and powerful characters of "Bazaar" directly above the gate were clearly engraved on it, and the pen walked the dragon and snake.
"I also have a little money on me now, just go in to shop for goods and buy something useful" Seeing the noise of the crowd one after another, Chu Mo couldn't help but be a little moved, greeted the tulip, and squeezed inside, "Let's go, go to the market"
There are many such bazaars in Shunde City, which have all kinds of vendors, merchants, even the four major forces also have their own industries in it, and they sell and sell some rare goods on weekdays, elixirs, weapons, beast pills, demon cores and other all kinds of things, as long as there is money, almost all kinds of things can be bought.
These are all territories that belong to the City Lord's Mansion, another behemoth that is beyond the four major forces in Shunde. That is where the authority controlled by the Mo Yan Dynasty lies, although after years of encroachment, the strength is no longer as good as the major forces that have been entrenched here for many years and dominate one side, but its background is not to be underestimated, and generally no one dares to provoke it head-on.
The guards of the city lord's mansion are responsible for maintaining the order and safety of the market, and under the long-term development, the market is thriving, even the people of the four major forces are in good order, and they generally do not make trouble in it, which also ensures the fairness and reasonableness of the transaction.
"Tulip, you also see if you have anything you like, I'll buy it for you" Chu Mo wandered around aimlessly with Tulip, a pair of eyes casually swept around, but his gaze mostly stayed on some strange things.
There are even many adventurers who have been licking blood for many years, and they often get something from outside that no one knows, and because they are also illiterate, they are treated as gadgets and ordinary trades, and if they have a good eye, they may be able to find something rare at a very cheap price.
This is called "shopping for goods", relying on a kind of luck.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, but it also happens a lot. Chu Mo came with such a purpose, although he also wanted to buy some high-grade elixirs and weapons, but the pitiful pocket money on his body could only support him to buy a little gadgets, so he could only do this kind of luck.
But fortunately, although he himself is also shallow and has not seen anything good, don't forget, there is still a hundred-year-old monster entrenched in his body, which is a well-informed monster.
After a long time of getting along, the communication between a person and an eagle has gradually become harmonious, although it is still a little difficult to make Ao Pi bleed, but it is not a difficult thing to move its mouth on weekdays.
"I don't lack anything on weekdays, so don't spend money for me" Although Chu Mo is generous, Tulip is also very sensible, she is not an ordinary little girl, she wants anything beautiful when she sees it. Although she has accepted Chu Mo as an elder brother from the bottom of her heart, this does not mean that she will be as coquettish and willful as an ordinary sister.
"I knew you would say that" Chu Mo angrily flicked Tulip and pulled her to stop in front of one of the vendors.
"This one is good, this one is also very good-looking" Chu Mo picked and chose in front of the vendors, and finally picked up a purple ice crystal chain.
"This is made of precious purple ice crystal, and it is also integrated with a bright silver star when refining, and it is not only elegant and elegant when worn in the hands of Mrs. Miss, but also has the effect of moisturizing the skin, this young master, this is a rare good thing, it is used to give it to his girlfriend, and it is guaranteed to have a face" The vendor who was originally squatting silently on the side saw Chu Mo playing with the purple ice crystal chain with some love, and his somewhat cloudy eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly sold it hard.
"Oh yes" Chu Mo smiled, and then beckoned to Tulip, "Tulip, you put it on and try it"
"Ah" Not only Tulip, but even the vendor couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, "Did he buy this little girl?"
Chu Mo is dressed luxuriously, and he can see at a glance that he is the son and brother of a rich family, but Tulip is a subordinate costume, and her appearance is also mediocre, no matter how you look at it, she is also an ordinary little girl. Although this purple ice crystal chain is not priceless, it can be regarded as a valuable commodity, how can ordinary people use it to waste it like this.
That's right, in the eyes of the peddler, such a beautiful thing is a waste on such an ordinary little girl. But of course he won't say it, he is a businessman, as long as he can make money, what does he care about Chu Mo for buying it.
Tulip is a different idea, although girls generally like shiny and good-looking things, but she doesn't want Chu Mo to spend this meaningless money for her.
"Brother Chu Mo, I don't need it, I work every day on weekdays, how can I use such a good-looking chain, even if I buy it, I can only harvest it all day long" Tulip waved his hand again and again.
"I'll put it on if I ask you to put it on, put it on and stretch out your hand" Chu Mo pretended to be angry, and his tone was unquestionable.
"Oh" Tulip finally couldn't resist Chu Mo, and obediently stretched out her little hand as white as white jade.
"En" Chu Mo took a serious look at Tulip's hand for the first time, don't look at Tulip's ordinary appearance and thin body, but a pair of small hands are white and delicate, as if they can pinch out water at any time.
"Hehe, it's just right" The faint purple brilliance of the purple ice crystal chain and the jade-like white wrist of the tulip complement each other, "Just take it, I'll send it to you"
Chu Mo immediately clapped, "Boss, how much is it?"
When the peddler heard that Chu Mo was going to buy it, his eyes narrowed with joy at the moment, "Young master, this thing is cheap, and it will only cost ten taels of silver."
"What" Tulip, even Chu Mo, who was about to pay for it, was taken aback. You must know that Chu Mo's pocket money for a month is only one hundred taels of silver, and it is all his belongings so far. Unexpectedly, such a small chain actually took away one-tenth of his belongings at once.
"Brother Chu Mo, this is too expensive, I still don't want it" Tulip was in a hurry, and reached out to take off the chain on his hand. She was just a little girl, ten taels of silver, she had never seen it in her life.
"How can this work" Chu Mo frowned. Although he also felt that the price was a bit outrageous, how could he be repaid for the things he promised to give. Moreover, this is the first time he has sent something to Tulip since he recognized her as his sister.
As he spoke, he held down the action of Tulip picking up the bracelet with his left hand, and with his right hand, he flipped it over, and an ingot of silver weighing ten taels appeared in his hand.
