The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer
Chapter 68 Hao Jujin's Little Scheme
Finally, Li Minghan went to the Immortal's Tears to recuperate, while Yu Bingwen and Qingwu were also teleported back.
Yu Bingwen's soul returned to his body, and wisps of pale green spiritual energy swirled around him.
Qingwu, who was lying on the ground, was also surrounded by white spiritual energy waves.
“They’re… back!” Chen Suili said, looking at Hao Anqi.
The three of them kept an eye on them, and they noticed as soon as something happened to them.
Hao Anqi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Thank goodness we've finally returned safely!"
Hao Jujin, who was standing next to him, almost burst into tears, his mind racing as he tried to think of something to say.
As soon as Li Minghan opened his eyes, he saw a magnified face in front of him. At this moment, the person opposite him was looking at him with teary eyes and speaking in a pitiful tone.
"Brother Li, you're finally awake! You have no idea how scared I was!"
"Ever since I woke up, I've been stared at menacingly. I thought I'd hide next to you, but you were meditating. I assumed you didn't want to talk to me, so I didn't dare disturb you!"
"Who knew, later that person came out and said that you were completely out of spirit! I was so scared! I thought you would never wake up again, and then no one would be there to see my baby with me! Waaaaah~~"
Yu Bingwen listened to his sobbing and smiled helplessly, saying, "Aren't there two seniors here? You'll be alright."
Hao Jujin pouted and immediately retorted, "It's precisely because they're around that I'm in danger. You have no idea how terrifying they are!"
"Especially that guy with the square face, like a mahjong tile. When I woke up, he was staring at me intently, as if he was about to devour me alive. Your uncle's friends don't look like good people at all; they're all so scary!"
Yu Bingwen's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Does this little fat guy even know what it means to speak appropriately for the occasion? Is it okay to openly and blatantly speak ill of others in front of them? And he offended two people with just one sentence. How did he manage to do that?"
At this moment, the two people standing there also looked rather unwell. Hao Anqi looked unwell because Hao Jujin said he was not a good person.
Although I am not a good person, the fact that he said it to my face makes it all the more special.
Chen Suili's face darkened immediately. He felt his blood pressure soaring. This chubby kid actually made a personal attack, saying he looked like a mahjong tile.
This is an insult to him; he hates it when people talk about his appearance.
Hao Jujin had truly crossed his bottom line perfectly, but since his own sect leader hadn't said anything, Chen Suili didn't dare to say anything more. He could only clench his fists and forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.
Just as the atmosphere was tense, Qingwu, who was lying on the ground, saw that things were not going well. She realized that if she continued to pretend to be dead and watch the show, she would go too far, so she spoke up to interrupt.
"Ouch! Please stop for a moment, and help me up first, okay?"
"My back is killing me! And my whole body is aching!"
Don't be fooled by her outward appearance of pain; she's actually complaining inside.
"This chubby kid is sure to offend people, I'm really fed up with him! If it weren't for his good luck, I wouldn't bother with him courting death!"
"I really don't know whether to call him smart or stupid!"
"Sure enough, this damned God is fair. He gives you one thing and you lose another. Everything has a price tag. He has such good luck, but he just traded his intelligence for it. He really has no sense at all."
Only then did the group realize that they had been so focused on listening to the chubby boy's complaint that they had overlooked the person lying on the ground.
But it's normal to overlook it, since no one will die anyway!
At this moment, Hao Juji was actually very flustered. He was just testing the group, and this was the biggest gamble he had ever made.
He sensed it as soon as he came in: the relationship between those two and Qingwu was not simple; the two even indulged Qingwu quite a bit.
Qingwu was Yu Bingwen's martial uncle, and he himself was Yu Bingwen's friend. He wanted to see if they would help him after he had offended them.
He knew it was a huge gamble, after all, he was betting his own life. He was afraid, but he was not only a smart man, but also a smart man with super good luck, so he wasn't afraid.
Hao Jujin had a premonition that Yu Bingwen's identity was definitely not simple, that he would definitely achieve great things in the future, and that he was the kind of person who could change the fate of his family.
So there's always a strange attraction, a desire to constantly get closer to him, to cling to his coattails, so that you don't have to work hard and can just take off from the spot.
Don't be fooled by the Hao family's wealth and power. They are not afraid of thieves, but they are afraid of thieves eyeing their property. Their family is a piece of fat meat, but without the protection of their ancestor, they could be divided up by other forces at any time.
In particular, their ancestor had been stuck at the Void Transformation stage for a long time and was now in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage. This was his last attempt.
If they succeed, their family will reach its peak; if they fail, their family will fall apart.
Especially since their ancestor's lifespan is almost over, their Hao family may seem prosperous and at its zenith, but in reality, danger has been lurking for a long time and could deliver a fatal blow at any time.
This is precisely why Hao Jujin is worried. He has been searching for a reliable backer who can protect his family and help them weather this crisis.
Although many sects extended olive branches to their family, their intentions were as clear as day.
They're all after their family's enormous wealth. When things really get tough, they won't even offer any protection, let alone take advantage of their misfortune.
Fortunately, he met Yu Bingwen. He had a strong feeling that this person could help him, so he shamelessly stuck to him, trying to understand his character, personality, and background.
He hoped to become his fellow disciple, which would be even better, since being close to him would give him an advantage, and he was confident that the other party would definitely lend a helping hand.
However, the other party's background must indeed be very deep. They were accompanied by elders when they came out to train, and their strength seemed to be very high.
Moreover, he always concealed his identity, unlike other sect disciples who, when going out for training, wanted the whole world to know they were the pride of their sects, and went out to do all sorts of bad things under the sect's banner to seek personal gain.
Only the disciples of major sects, whose traditions have been passed down for generations, place great importance on the personal cultivation of their disciples. Growing up in such an environment, the disciples of major sects are always very kind and polite when they go out, for fear of losing face for their sect.
If it really is a disciple of a major sect, especially a core disciple of the sect going out for training, even their name might be fake, which troubles him greatly. If they continue to interact in this state, he cannot continue without breaking the "ice".
