Chapter 313 Hidden Agenda: A Fish Escaped from Disaster
Su Che looked behind Elder Qin of the Great River Alliance.

The six women were all graceful and charming, varying in size and figure, and their expressions were gentle and refined. Perhaps due to their daily cultivation of Taoism, they also possessed an otherworldly and ethereal elegance.

They were truly pitiful to behold; Elder Qin's statement that they were all virgins was not an exaggeration.

I haven't tried whether it's a virginity or not, but her tranquility is already obvious at a glance.

In terms of the value of the gifts, Qingjiao Jun was certainly willing to spend more. However, no matter how much he spent, the six graceful female cultivators lined up in a row outshone all his gold and silver.

If Young Master Su were proficient in the dual cultivation methods of the Xuanmen, he would also be able to discern that these individuals possessed renowned artifacts, distinguishing them by names such as Jade Essence, Snow Path Condensed Pearl, and Honey Amber Shallow Snail.

But we're all old foxes, so there's no point in messing around with these things.

Young Master Su smiled slightly.

The girl is really nice, but that's all.

That's it.

"I thank you all for your kindness."

Su Che said calmly, "I have already met some of you. Others I have long admired but have never had the chance to meet."

As Su San Gongzi spoke, his eyes swept over Elder Qin and Demon King Tie Lin. He recalled that when he fought Shicha Nanta at Madam Xue's mansion, these people were all guests and friends recruited by Madam Xue.

At that time, Siksananda's golden body was sealed by him, and these two had also clashed with him in terms of energy, so they could be considered to have fought each other.

On the other side, the bird demon Xiaoming was someone they were meeting for the first time, and they had never heard of him before. He was probably a demon recruited by the Azure Dragon Lord from the East Sea.

The water demons of Canglang form almost a self-contained system, serving as a transitional link between the ecosystem of cultivators in the Central Plains and that of the East Sea. It's normal that I'm not entirely familiar with them. After all, even the Imperial Guards have very little information about them.

The fact that this person has come to visit today must be because they have heard about the conflict between me and Madam Xue. Based on the simple logic that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, they have come to make some friends and establish a good relationship.

"To be honest, who doesn't love beautiful women and gold and silver treasures? Besides, these elixirs are quite useful for cultivation."

Su Che smiled slightly: "Under normal circumstances, I would only think that the money given by Elder Qingjiao was too little and too stingy. Elder Qin only gave six girls to be the cauldrons, which underestimates our ability. I need at least twelve to satisfy my needs."

Elder Qin, the Iron Scale Demon King, and Xiao Ming all frowned upon hearing this.

The phrase "in normal times" that Master Su mentioned earlier is quite telling.

If he would have accepted it under normal circumstances and still complained that it wasn't enough, then Su Che would absolutely not accept it now.

None of the people who were able to refine the Elixir were fools, and they immediately began to speculate about what this newly promoted fifth-rank True Person Su really wanted.

"However, I am not a free spirit. If it were not for His Majesty's grace and the appreciation of the court officials, I would never have achieved what I have today."

As Su Che spoke, he bowed respectfully towards Jiankang, his eyes glistening with a hint of tears.

"The world is in turmoil, Cizhou has just suffered a disaster, the people are displaced, and evil spirits are causing trouble everywhere. How can I, Su, possibly enjoy beauties and gold and silver?"

After he finished speaking, not only the three Dan cultivators standing outside, but also Shi Chibao, his colleagues from the Imperial Guard, and Wang Jian, the Chief Secretary who was slumped in the Hall of Affairs, were all momentarily dizzy and disoriented.

Is Su Che really that kind of person?
The three Rejuvenating Pill cultivators, who were not very familiar with Young Master Su, had a simple idea.

Most people live for fame and fortune.

This Master Su has not been practicing for long, and he has not yet given up his worldly knowledge. He probably wants to gain an empty reputation.

Now that he's refused this time, we can just pack up and send it to him again later.

Wang Jian and Shi Chibao, who knew Su Che well, felt that either their own son had been possessed by a demon, or Young Master Su had gone mad. You, Su Che, not interested in women or money? Is that even possible?

There must be a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy.

"Master Su is truly loyal to the country," Elder Qin said with great admiration. "Our Xuanmen cultivation has always emphasized compassion for humanity. Master Su has the world in his heart and cares for all people. Just this one sentence is a great merit."

Su Che nodded slightly, as if he already regarded Elder Qin as a kindred spirit.

Great merit?
Why did some auspicious clouds descend from the sky without any merit or blessing, directly feeding my cultivation to the Longevity Realm?
"Elder Qin understands my heart."

“Since Master Su is so kind-hearted, he will surely attain the Great Dao in the future,” Xiao Ming carefully considered his words. “In that case, when I return and report to my master, I will use this gold and silver to relieve the disaster victims and build bridges and roads. As for those pills, they should also be used to help the sick. I will definitely turn Master Su’s kindness into good deeds.”

"Alas, I am ashamed, truly ashamed." King Iron Scale shook his head: "It's laughable that I also cultivated to the fifth grade of the Rejuvenating Pill, but after hearing Master Su's words today, I realize that my years of arduous cultivation were nothing but a fart. Master Su's heart encompasses heaven and earth, embracing all things, and he has compassion for the people. It truly makes me, Old Iron, feel utterly ashamed..."

Old Qin and Old Xiao exchanged a glance.

Oh no, this down-and-out is even more shameless.

Upon hearing this, Shi Chibao looked at the three old men and asked, "Are all you demons who have cultivated to the Golden Core stage so easy to talk to?"

It seems that the idea that spiritual practice can improve one's character may not be entirely untrue.

"You are all too modest."

Su Che clasped his hands and said, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness today, and I will remember it in my heart. As you all know, I am busy with many affairs due to my duties to the court. I would like to ask you to go back first, and I will definitely visit you in person later to express my gratitude to you one by one."

The three Core Formation Realm cultivators were all sentient beings, and upon hearing this, they finally understood what Su Che was talking about.

Understand.

We all understand.

It's really too much of an eyesore to receive gifts here. Just come back to our place and ask for them directly.

However, the amount you receive later will likely be more than what you see now.

Ah, that's more like it.

Elder Qin smiled slightly.

He wasn't lying. The alliance also attaches great importance to this Su Lixing. Today, they've done their research and will go back to plan their next move.

“Excellent! This little demon can finally report back to the Dragon Lord.” Xiao Ming was genuinely delighted. “I will certainly inform the Dragon Lord and await your good news.”

"My buddy is just an ordinary guy. Just say the word and I'll do anything for you."

The Iron-Scaled Demon King was not to be outdone.

What he feared most was that Su Che would use this opportunity to his advantage after reprimanding Madam Xue, and then eliminate several water demons who followed Madam Xue to establish his authority.

Having neither a background nor any powerful backing, he was in considerable danger.

Having witnessed Su Che's methods of preparing Shicha Nanda, Tie Lin wondered if he were in the same position as the Yaksha Prince, he would probably have turned into a pot of fish soup by now.

The fact that he could meet Su Che here today and hear this newly promoted Golden Core cultivator speak to him in a pleasant manner has already made King Iron Scale very satisfied.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your time. Forgive me for my lack of courtesy, but I will not see you off."
