Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 134 Sect Competition 2
Wei Xi was just pretending to be stupid.

After all, I earned this spiritual stone myself, and it would be bad if something went wrong.

As for the nonsense she spoke, Wei Xi said, the governor had set the fire, so what was wrong with her lighting a lamp?
The blue-green fins on the side of the face of the mermaid headed by the Swallowing Sea Sect slowly opened, as if he was thinking.

Before she could say anything, the red-scaled mermaid's fins exploded, and its head was wrapped in the middle, making it look a little smaller. "So you were tricked into coming here!"

Wei Xi almost couldn't hold it in. How could this mermaid monk not believe any polite words?

Before Wei Xi could come up with a good fart to comfort others, the priest sneered, "Your brain is really quick. You figured out the key point immediately."

"You..." The priest glanced at Wei Xi's gray Taoist robes. "People from the Qingcheng Sect have never had any conflict with the mermaids."

"Of course, this matter has nothing to do with a mere monk like you. I'll naturally find someone to settle the score with..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Zheng Duo rushing over with a bag in his hand.

The mermaids immediately turned their hateful gazes towards Zheng Duo.

Before the priest could say anything else, Zheng Duo bowed first and said, "I'm honored to meet the priest of Tunhai Zongkui. I, the disciple Zheng Duo, would like to apologize first."

"This transformation pill was contaminated by a young disciple from the sect, so I ran to the Herbal Hall to find a spare. This delayed me and prevented me from welcoming you in person. I've neglected your distinguished guest!"

Zheng Duo's words were sincere and his attitude was respectful. He did have a bag in his hand, so it didn't seem fake.

Wei Xi touched his nose: Could it be that I am judging others by my own standards?

"The Swallowing Sea Sect hasn't visited the Zhenhai Sect for a long time, and there are some old grudges."

Although the mermaid known as the Aoi Priest's tone was full of mockery, the mermaid's foundation was so good that his words sounded like singing.

"This time, the Wanjian Sect is mediating. We came here with sincerity, but you allowed the Transformation Pill to be contaminated. Are you trying to intimidate us, or are you showing disrespect to the Wanjian Sect?"

This was said in a malicious way. Besides the intention of blaming, it also meant to make things worse.

Zheng Duo remained calm and composed, replying, "Reconciliation between the two sects has been our long-cherished wish. We've put a lot of effort into the preparations. We've already prepared Transformation Pills alone for more than three times the number of people your sect reported."

"Please be patient, Priest Kui. Bring your disciples in and take a look at our arrangements. This will not let down the Wanjian Sect's mediation efforts. We can also convey our sect leader's sincere wishes to Chief Ao when we return."

Wei Xi, who was acting as a background, went to look at the mermaids and saw that the expressions on their faces were not very good.

Wei Xi thought to himself, Zheng Duo is really amazing.

He first said that he had no intention of being negligent, and then mentioned that the sect had its own arrangements.

It's not that the Zhenhai Sect is deliberately trying to make things right. It's that we put in a lot of effort, and you simply overlooked a minor mistake. Going back and complaining to your superiors is pointless. So, who's really being disrespectful to the Wanjian Sect as the middleman?

Wei Xi thought about it for a moment and felt that with Zheng Duo's skill level, it was really not worth it for him to plot such a thing against him.

Zheng Duo is enough on his own.

Priestess Kui looked worried. She glanced at Zheng Duo coldly, raised her webbed arm, and signaled the tribesmen to take the bag of transformation pills.

"Please also help this fellow Taoist. She has nothing to do with this matter."

Wei Xi looked confused. It was obvious that the "she" Zheng Duo was referring to was herself.

The question is, what does it mean to resolve obstacles? What has happened to me?

Priest Kui, half of whose body was submerged in the sea, was now focused on Zheng Duo and the Zhenhai Sect behind him.

She made a gesture and Wei Xi felt his eyes light up.

Wei Xi then realized he had been tricked. Mermaid monks, now with legs, came ashore one after another, draped in gauze robes. While they still retained their mermaid features, they were now able to walk on land without hindrance.

The cultivators of the Swallowing Sea Sect were reorganizing themselves on the coast. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Duo whispered an apology to Wei Xi, "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Wei. I was negligent and caused you trouble."

"I had to make an emergency decision. I was rushing to replace the Transformation Pill, but I didn't expect them to arrive early," Zheng Duo said with a serious expression. "It was my faction's fault that caused trouble for you, fellow Daoist."

Wei Xi shook his head and just replied politely.

What a joke! This guy is a tough guy who won't respond to any push or push. Being polite to others is just his style. It's not easy to offend him on his territory.

Besides, what happened just now had its reasons. Even if she had reacted a little slower and something bad would have happened, she couldn't really argue with others about it.

Thinking about it this way, Wei Xi had no better way than to answer yes.

Zheng Duo smiled and said, "I have seen them with my master. Fellow Daoist Wei is understanding, but I know their style."

"This is some money for tea. It will be a consolation for Brother Wei." Zheng Duo stuffed a few spirit stones into Wei Xi's hands.

Wei Xi was so impressed that he almost clapped his hands in admiration. This was what a capable person in a big sect looked like. With a huge reward, any grievance could be easily resolved.

Moreover, their salaries are not combined together, so they are paid on the same day they are wronged.

However, Wei Xi was also a little wary: Why was this guy being such a good-for-nothing? Could he be up to something bad?

Wei Xi warned himself in his heart that he might be deceived and said, "Brother Zheng, you're very polite. However, the master has already agreed on the wages, so I don't want to burden you with any more expenses."

"You can take it," Zheng Duo said firmly. "I have all the accounts. Besides, you helped to welcome the guests, so I will also receive tips."

"Although you don't speak with an accent, I can faintly see two gray spots near the black pupils of your eyes. You're probably from Xizhou."

"I am also from Xizhou, and I live in Dongyi. I haven't seen my fellow countrymen for a long time, so I just spoke now."

Where does Lingyin, a bird, get its accent? But Weixi is indeed from Xizhou. Unexpectedly, this gave him the opportunity to earn extra money.

Wei Xi also saw two gray spots on the inner part of the other person's whites of the eyes, and believed it most of the time.

Since they were from the same hometown, Wei Xi asked, "Brother, what is the 'obstacle' you just mentioned?"

Zheng Duo glanced at the progress of the Swallowing Sea Sect cultivators and explained, "Oh, the Swallowing Sea Sect cultivators all come from the mermaid tribe on the seabed. When mermaids grow up, they cast barriers to eavesdrop on people's thoughts."

"If you're prepared for this, you won't be fooled. This is your first time seeing them, and you don't know the ins and outs of it, so it's normal for you to be fooled."

After all this time, it turns out to be a racial talent. No wonder these stupid monks refused to take Wei Xi's love potion.

Wei Xi continued, "So that's how it is. When they came over just now, they only said that there was an old grudge between the two sects. I didn't know about these things, so I didn't dare to act rashly. It's really scary."

Wei Xi, who lied with his eyes open, just wanted to trick people into believing him and portray himself as an honest and decent monk.

Zheng Duo was distracted by the group of mermen who were nitpicking about their clothes. "It's all ridiculous, actually."

"The previous feud between the two sects was that my disciples practiced swordsmanship in the sea, and they felt that it disturbed the peace, so the two sects argued."

"Later, the mermaid tribe in the sea gave birth to a fish..." Zheng Duo paused, "and the two factions became enemies."
