Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"This is the second son of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Wen."

Hearing the unexpected and reasonable answer from the third elder, Zhou Yiqiao nodded slowly, and then looked at Wu Ning, who had never spoken a word, with a hint.

"Is it because I did not agree to the invitation of Xiahou Zhan and Mo Hetong to participate in the massacre feast, which caused the two of them to die suddenly in the secret realm?"

Feeling Zhou Yiqiao's eyes looking over him, Wu Ning nodded, then showed a guilty look on his face.

"It was Wu who harmed Brother Zhou and made Brother Zhou suffer such a disaster in vain."

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.

"Brother Wu is overly worried. At the beginning, Brother Wu also wanted to quickly integrate Zhou into the Demon Sect, so he thought of introducing Xiahou Zhan and Mo Hetong to Zhou."

"The current situation is the result of many factors and has nothing to do with Brother Wu."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yiqiao frowned and said a little strangely.

"Zhou is curious, how does Xia Houwen, the second son of the Xiahou family, want to avenge his younger brother?"

"If Zhou remembers correctly, Xiahou Zhan himself said back then that there was fierce competition among the direct descendants of the Xiahou family, and the only ones who could unite with him were brothers Mo Hetong and Wu from the Mo family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including the two old men, suddenly became coy and looked hard to say anything.

Finally, the younger Wu Ning spoke.

"The second young master, Xia Houwen, has been rumored to be a broken sleeve for these years..."

Wu Ning's voice became quieter and quieter, until it was almost inaudible.

Zhou Yiqiao suddenly gasped when he heard this.

He had imagined many possibilities, such as Xia Houwen and Xia Houzhan having been friends since childhood in order to avenge his brother; Xia Houwen was really bewitched by the barbarian monks and wanted to create chaos in the Demon Sect, etc.

But he never expected that the reason why this person wanted to murder him was so strangely selfish!

At this thought, Zhou Yiqiao frowned again.

"But aren't Xia Houwen and Xia Houzhan brothers?"

Wu Ning seemed a little embarrassed to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he continued.

"They are brothers, but as far as I know, this is what Xia Houwen likes. The boys in the clan's cave are all selected based on Xia Houzhan's appearance."

"this......"

Hearing this, even Zhou Yiqiao, who considered himself not pedantic, didn't know how to speak.

Seeing the ugly faces of the two powerful men and the atmosphere in the hall gradually becoming silent, Zhou Yiqiao abruptly changed the topic.

"Now that we know the mastermind of this matter, as the victim, does the disciple know how this matter will be handled and the disciple's compensation?"

"of course."

Zhou Yiqiao took the initiative to rescue the siege, and the two powerful men naturally borrowed the donkeys from the slope. The third elder immediately answered the question.

"What I and your master want to do is to suppress this matter first and make a decision after the war with the barbarians is over."

"Nephew Zhou Xian, please don't feel unhappy. This may be a way to maximize profits for Nephew Zhou Xian."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao showed an interested look and raised his hand again.

"Disciple is willing to hear the details."

Seeing this, the third elder paused, organized his words and then spoke slowly.

"First, Nephew Zhou Xian should also have seen the reaction of the sect leader and the elders just now. Although we covered it up completely this time, they will definitely pay attention to the reaction of my family's faction during this time."

"Only by delaying it for a period of time can we ensure that our plan will not fail."

"Second, we handled it privately, which undoubtedly preserved the Xiahou family's status within the clan. The Xiahou elders who were fighting the enemy on the front line have heard about this and promised to cede the Xiahou family's resources on the Mengwu Mountain to my Wu family and the Your master, use it to exchange benefits with us."

"Your master has agreed to give you another half of his resources. From now on, you will be able to receive a large amount of income every year."

At this point, the third elder was afraid that Zhou Yiqiao would still be unwilling to accept it, so he added again.

"Of course, nephew Zhou Xian, if you want Xiahou Wen to pay the price now, it is not impossible, but the corresponding benefits will be greatly reduced for the Xiahou family."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded after listening and understood the difficulties of the two powerful men.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think of our arrangement?"

Wu Ning turned around and asked Zhou Yiqiao's opinion on behalf of the two old men.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded when he heard this.

"Since Master and the Third Elder have decided, I have no choice but to comply. However, I hope that the Wu family can occasionally help me exchange the resources that belong to me into the spiritual objects I need."

Naturally, the third elder would not refuse a verbal agreement.

"I have no problem. As long as it is within the Wu family's ability, I will not refuse."

After the two sides reached an agreement, Zhou Yiqiao asked again.

"Then this Xia Houwen..."

Wu Ning understood Zhou Yiqiao's meaning and immediately answered the question.

"He has been ordered to stay at home by Elder Xiahou. If Brother Zhou is dissatisfied with this, after the barbarians retreat, Brother Zhou can also ask us to secretly kill him."

Seeing that several people had mentioned this, Zhou Yiqiao no longer had any worries.

"In this case, this junior can rest assured."

He turned to look at his master, Taoist White Bones, and said confidently.

"It's over here. Disciple petitions to return to Wangu Mountain to practice."

If the war between the Demon Sect and the barbarians was going on before, Zhou Yiqiao would not have dared to say such blatant remarks to avoid the war, but now that the three people in front of him felt that they owed themselves, Zhou Yiqiao took advantage of the situation and brought it up.

"Ok!"

The Bone Taoist Master naturally had no objection and threw out an ancient bronze coin.

"This is my identity certificate. I will tell you that if you go shopping in other areas, no one will stop or search for you."

Zhou Yiqiao raised his head and bowed to the three people to say goodbye.

"Thank you, Master, for your consideration. Disciple, take your leave."

He turned around and left the main hall, fleeing in the direction of Wangu Mountain without looking back.

Being able to be a blessing in disguise, temporarily escaping the most brutal period of fighting with the barbarians, the experiences of Taixuan Secret Realm and his party became acceptable to him.

In the midst of the chaos, Zhou Yiqiao planned to enter seclusion after returning to Ten Thousand Bones Mountain. He must at least cultivate the Ten Thousand Demons Record to the fourth level, completely match his current strength, and have enough self-protection power to be able to face the confrontation more firmly. Down fighting.

The red flames and flowing gold burned the entire sky. Zhou Yiqiao moved forward at full speed and reached his destination in just a few days.

After throwing all the magical weapons that Li Yifei and several assassins had collected to Seven Swords, and with a few simple instructions, Zhou Yiqiao hurriedly entered Shenjian Tower and fell into a death trap.
