The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body
Chapter 194 Meeting an old friend
"Bewitched?" The speaker was a woman in light green clothes. "Come here, arrest these two people!"
As the leader of the caravan and the person who pays the salaries of the monks, the monks in charge of the protection would naturally listen to what she said. Several monks in the late Dan realm flew out immediately, captured the two monks who were chasing them and pressed them in front of the woman in green.
"Who bewitched you two? Why did you want to kill Manager Hu?!"
"What do you mean by bewitching? Miss, please don't just listen to Butler Hu's one-sided words. It's him! He is the one who orders the two of us to take a small merchant aside and blackmail him every time the caravan sets out. We just don't want to continue doing this with him!"
Butler Hu and the two monks each had their own story. In comparison, the young lady was willing to believe Butler Hu more. After all, Butler Hu had served in her family for many years, and the two monks were just Butler Hu's subordinates, so it was possible for them to pin the crime on Butler Hu.
While the two sides were arguing, Zeng Wenyu came back slowly. When he saw Zeng Wenyu, Butler Hu pointed at him and said, "Yes! It's him! He is the one who bewitched them! Miss! Catch him!"
The woman in green turned to look at Zeng Wenyu. Her eyes lit up and she waved her hand at Zeng Wenyu: "Hey! Gao Yi! Gao Yi!"
Zeng Wenyu, who was originally thinking about how to explain, smiled when he heard the voice and saw the woman in green. Now he was really not worried about how to explain it, because he recognized the woman in front of him.
The woman in green walked towards Zeng Wenyu. She was a little excited and her pace quickened. She walked in front of Zeng Wenyu and looked at him for a few times: "Gao Yi! I didn't expect to meet you here. How are you? Do you still recognize me?"
"How could I not recognize you? Miss Bai Jie, it's been such a long time since we last met. How are you?"
Seeing Bai Jie and Zeng Wenyu chatting so happily, Butler Hu and the two monks suddenly felt that it was all over. They never thought that they would blackmail Bai Jie's friend. Especially looking at Bai Jie's previous actions, the relationship between her and Zeng Wenyu must be unusual.
Butler Hu was now looking at Zeng Wenyu and felt his mentality exploded. He wanted to go up and ask Zeng Wenyu, since he was so familiar with his young lady, why didn't he tell him from the beginning? Why did he have to wait until he took action before telling him? He now suspected that what he had done before might have been known to Bai Jie a long time ago, even though Bai Jie was following the caravan for the first time.
Sure enough, after Zeng Wenyu told Bai Jie about Butler Hu, Bai Jie looked at Butler Hu with murderous eyes.
"Butler Hu, is what Gao Yi said true? Are you using your position as butler to blackmail me?"
"Miss, that is slander! He slandered me! How could I do such a thing! I have worked in our Chamber of Commerce for so many years, and the annual salary is enough for my family to live on. How could I do such a thing!" Butler Hu cried and shouted, still making his last struggle.
If there were only Butler Hu, Bai Jie and Zeng Wenyu here, maybe he could have escaped with this excuse. Unfortunately, there were not just the three of them here. When those small merchants who had been extorted by Butler Hu in the past heard that Butler Hu had been arrested and his previous extortion cases had been exposed, they all stood up to testify for Zeng Wenyu. Originally, they made little money from each business trip, and Butler Hu asked them to take a large half of it every time. If they had not been forced by life and had no one to make the decision, they would have stopped following the caravan long ago!
Bai Jie frowned and looked at Butler Hu. She didn't expect that Butler Hu would actually use the power in his hands to do this. She also thought about how in the past two years, the resources that the Bai family's Chamber of Commerce had handed over to the Hua Sect had become less and less, and sometimes it even needed subsidies from the Hua Sect. Now it seems that all this was caused by Butler Hu's actions, and the things that Butler Hu threatened and blackmailed should have eventually been pocketed by him.
Although Bai Jie is a young girl, she is not soft-hearted in such matters. She gave a look to the female cultivators who were in the perfect Dan realm and followed her. Those female cultivators immediately understood and dragged Butler Hu and the two cultivators away. After a while, screams of three people were heard in the camp.
Not long after, a female monk came to Bai Jie who was chatting with Zeng Wenyu. She handed a piece of paper to Bai Jie. Zeng Wenyu could guess what was written on the paper without even looking at it. However, since it was Hua Zong's business, Zeng Wenyu would not investigate it. He just sat quietly in his seat and looked to the side.
When Bai Jie saw the piece of paper the female monk gave her, her face changed again and again. She walked aside and used the communication jade token to tell her mother what was written on the paper. When she came back, she gestured to the female monk, who nodded and left immediately.
Seeing Bai Jie coming back, Zeng Wenyu looked at her with a smile: "Your cultivation has improved a lot recently? The last time I saw you, you were still in the Qi Condensation Realm. Now, if I'm not mistaken, you are already in the early stage of the Dan Realm, right?"
"That's right. The last time I came out, I encountered danger. My mother forced me to go into seclusion when I returned. She said that I would not be allowed to come out until I reached the Dan realm. She also specially prepared Danding Sect's elixir for me. Otherwise, I would not have been able to reach the Dan realm so quickly."
"You have great talent, and it has only been a short time, yet you have advanced two realms. Your cultivation is not frivolous."
"Hehehe, my mother said that I have the best talent in the Hua Sect in the past hundred years. I will definitely be able to cultivate to the Tribulation Realm and take over her position and become the next Sect Master of the Hua Sect."
"Oh? My apologies, you are the future leader of the Hua Sect. It seems that I saved you unintentionally and got a big thumb on your shoulders unexpectedly?"
"Bah!" Bai Jie blushed instantly when she heard Zeng Wenyu's words, "Who asked you to cling to someone so high up? You were fine back then, but why are you so frivolous now?!"
"Ah? Where's that frivolous? What I mean is that if you protect me in the future, I won't be afraid of being bullied by others. Wait...wait a minute, are you thinking about something else? I think you are the slut!"
"I... I said that I will protect you from now on. Who... who is the pervert?"
"Whoever thinks wrong is the one!"
"Nonsense, I didn't think that!"
"Okay, okay, you didn't, you didn't, I was wrong, okay?"
"That's right, you're wrong. Who would come up and say they want to cling to someone else's thighs?"
Zeng Wenyu shrugged his shoulders and didn't plan to discuss this matter any further. He changed the subject: "I heard that the monsters in the mountains to the north have been very restless recently. What are you going to do there, the daughter of the head of the Hua Sect?"
"Yes, the monsters in the Cangling Mountains are very restless. All the sects have sent some disciples to investigate what happened in the Cangling Mountains. It just so happens that I have reached the Dan realm, so my mother asked me to go to the Cangling Mountains for some training."
"Did Sect Leader Bai tell us what happened in the Cangling Mountains?
"Mother said that there was once a demon emperor in the Cangling Mountains who was at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Realm and who made the human race look down on him. He was eventually defeated by the human cultivators at the Tribulation Realm. After that battle, only a few human cultivators at the Tribulation Realm returned, and the whereabouts of the demon emperor are unknown. This time, the demon beast riot in the Cangling Mountains is likely related to the missing demon emperor. Someone discovered a relic in the Cangling Mountains, which is likely the burial place of the demon emperor."
"So this time all the sects are heading for that person's grave? So everyone is actually going there to see if they can get something good from that suspected grave?"
