Chapter 1895: The Cured Meat Case
Generally speaking, the trouble that Wu Laoliu encountered was not big, just a little hardship.
The Yan family is the more troublesome one. Many forces come here and ask them directly about the situation.
But Yan Xuemin couldn't explain in detail, so he simply said that this was a matter between my family and Hongyeling, and if you really want to know, go and ask them.
These forces that were inquiring for information were basically only of slight status, at most they were comparable to the Yan family.
However, some people hinted that there are people behind us, but they respect the Yan family and do not want to come forward rashly.
How could Yan Xuemin believe this? He pushed all the blame to Hongyeling—there were people behind him, so he should go find them!
Those who couldn't get any information had to go to the market to find out more. For a moment, it seemed like a storm was about to come.
After all, it may involve ancient heritage, who wouldn’t be jealous?
However, Yan Xuemin was very disdainful of this mentality, "Has this been because you've read too many novels? They are all a bunch of ignorant guys."
Where do so many ancient inheritances come from? Those who really have that opportunity are all children of destiny. How dare ordinary people dream about it?
There is nothing wrong with pursuing opportunities, but that doesn’t mean you have to daydream.
"There are many cultivators who have a gambler's mentality," Jindan Kunxiu agreed with his point of view, "Fortunately, Heyang doesn't believe this."
It is said that people who come from a sect have good eyesight. Zhenren Heyang has a very good relationship with the Yan family, but he didn't come at all.
"I feel like he doesn't dare to come," Yan Xuemin said lightly, "after all, he is suspected of cheating people."
In the past, he highly praised Heyang, but now he has this idea. It can be seen that the Yan family is wary of Hongyeling.
"Anyway, I hope this gust of wind will pass sooner rather than later," Jindan Kunxiu frowned helplessly.
This news is so hot now, but it is just a gust of wind. She has seen too many such things.
If there is no one behind the scenes, it will die down soon. Rumors cannot last long.
However, if anyone dares to stir up trouble behind the scenes, the Yan family’s spies will definitely not be polite if they find out.
I’m not afraid even if I can’t win, right? Aren’t there still people from Hongye Ridge?
After all, at the moment, the forces that the Yan family is afraid of have not come, or even if they have come, they have not shown up openly.
Yan Xuemin calmly said, "What a bunch of idiots. Those who really have some brains, don't you think about why the Yan family doesn't ask about it?"
Even the Yan family, who know everything about Hongye Ridge, turns a blind eye to it. Doesn't this explain the problem?
It’s not that they look down on small forces. The key is that there are too many people in small forces who are too lazy to use their brains.
"They are just blinded by greed," Jindan Kun Xiu also looked down on small forces, "When there is no benefit, they are smarter than monkeys!"
This gust of wind really came quickly and went away just as quickly. After two months, people gradually stopped mentioning it.
This shows that no one has deliberately pushed this matter forward. Even if there was someone pushing this matter forward in the past, they have now given up because they are afraid of a strict investigation by the Yan family.
Back here at Hongye Ridge, Wu Laoliu was also extremely annoyed - there were really too many strange and bizarre secret techniques in the Dongsheng Continent!
On this day, a family surnamed Su nearby said that five pieces of bacon that were drying in the sun were missing.
After Su Ye's family bought land nearby, they invested all their money into the business, even hiring outsiders to help.
It is common to hire temporary workers in Dongsheng, but it is almost impossible for ordinary people like the Su family to spend this kind of money.
But Su Ye insisted on his own way and made the decision. In just over a year, he actually developed the project into something quite capable.
When Wu Laoliu heard that the other party was looking for him because he had lost five strips of bacon, he really wanted to slap the other party in the face and smack five strips of bacon!
Damn it... I have lived for so long, but I have never seen anyone who dares to treat a Jindan Zhenren like this!
But he also knew that the Su family had moved out of Hongye Ridge before, so he suppressed his anger and directly contacted the big snake.
Taoist Jiao was also annoyed when he heard this, "What the hell is this bacon... can you be serious? His family is not even in our territory!"
"The Su family's land was purchased," Wu Laoliu said speechlessly, "It's not a bad rule for the owner to ask for help from outside forces to catch the thief."
"Hmm? This is possible!" Jiao Daoren became interested when he heard it. He was a little annoyed by the harassment he had been experiencing recently.
These guys generally have low cultivation levels and can't cause much impact.
But the toad crawls on your feet. It doesn't bite you, but it's annoying! Can the many spirits go shopping happily?
So the big snake directly sent over a string of coordinates, all of which were located around Hongye Ridge, a total of fifteen places.
Wu Laoliu was a little confused, "This... is it going to be a proactive attack?"
But he remembered that the master never allowed anyone to take the initiative to attack, and this was the consensus of everyone.
Is it that this senior who is good at taming beasts is really angry?
"Who told you to take the initiative?" Jiao Daoren said unhappily, "You found them all in the Su family's land!"
"Okay, no problem. Do I need to... injure two more members of the Su family?"
"You kid..." Taoist Jiao realized that this guy was really an expert in doing such crooked things.
"No need to fight. Since we have no intention of having a serious contact with Hongye Ridge, we don't need to give an explanation to anyone!"
Overnight, all fifteen exploration points around Hongye Ridge were cleared out, and instantly there was a sense of clarity in the sky.
And these fifteen hidden observation points are rarely noticed by outsiders.
Almost no one knew what happened around Hongye Ridge that night, and naturally it didn't cause any disturbance.
But the Yan family still obtained some information and even understood the reason why Hongyeling took action.
In order to find out the truth, Yan Sicong went to the Su family to investigate the situation.
After hearing the situation, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "There are seven or eight groups of people lying in ambush in your hundreds of acres of land?"
"I don't know either..." Su Ye spread his hands, with an expression on his honest face that looked as innocent as possible.
"I was so scared at the time that I asked Hongyeling for help. We were so nervous that we forgot how they did it."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I understand," Yan Sicong stopped him and looked around.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "From now on, you can ask him for your own affairs, but forget about the surrounding ones."
"Sir, this is all my own business," Su Ye looked at him innocently, "They are all lurking in my fields, aren't they?"
"Oh, yes, yes," Yan Sicong turned around and walked away without looking back.
Yan Xuemin nodded after hearing the news, "It's not bad that things can end like this."
"Maybe not," Jindan Kunxiu said worriedly, "The storm has not completely passed yet, we have to observe for at least two months!"
"I hope now... that there won't be a second thunderbolt!"
A month and a half later, Hongye Ridge was once again turbulent with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
Yan Xuemin stood in the yard and looked into the distance. His expression was as ugly as it could be. It took him a long time to speak.
"How come I didn't know that you have the magical power of turning words into actions?"
"Then I will let you leave your body directly!" Jindan Kunxiu replied unhappily, "Shall we go now?"
"That's not necessary," Yan Xuemin looked at her in surprise, "What are you going there for? Everyone is guessing that the Yan family has a secret agreement with Hongyeling!"
The most important thing now is that both parties should act as if they are keeping it a secret. Those who understand will understand, and those who don’t understand can just guess.
"But..." Kun Xiu Jin Dan hesitated, then asked, "Should we go and tell the Supreme?"
Yan Xuemin snorted unhappily, "It's just the second thunder tribulation. Are you in a hurry to inherit the Supreme Flower... Flower Knife?"
Jindan Kunxiu looked helpless, "I just think that this time there might be something big going on."
"Okay, it's a big deal," Yan Xuemin nodded, "I'm just waiting for your magical power to come true."
On the sixth day when the calamity clouds gathered, something big did happen. After the third calamity thunder struck, the calamity clouds slowly dissipated.
Within the entire Yan family’s sphere of influence, all the people who were paying attention to this scene fell silent in an instant.
More than one person wanted to go forward to find out what was going on, but they really... didn't dare!
The failure of forming the elixir and the death of the quasi-immortal were a heavy blow even for the five sects, fourteen schools and seven major families.
If you approach them at this time, no matter what your intentions are, as long as they are not your absolute close relationship, you will likely be hit head-on.
On the second day after the disaster clouds dissipated, Yan Sicong gritted his teeth and went to Hongye Ridge again.
He had to come. He couldn't let the two Jindan ancestors take risks. He was just at the foundation-building stage, and Hongyeling might not be interested in venting their anger on him.
Moreover, the two parties have dealt with each other before, so there is some personal relationship involved.
However, when Wu Laoliu saw that it was him, he actually showed some attitude, which was rare. Before this, he was just a loyal mouthpiece.
"If you're alright, leave now. We're in a bad mood now!"
"Master, I'm here to express... my condolences," Yan Sicong said with a solemn and sorrowful expression, "Please accept my condolences."
"Get lost now," Wu Laoliu's attitude became even worse, his eyes widened, "It has nothing to do with your Yan family, don't get involved!"
Yan Sicong was stunned when he heard this. This time he was not pretending, but was really surprised. "Was he harmed by someone?"
Wu Laoliu frowned slightly, "Do you really want to die?"
There is no culture of taking human life lightly in Dongsheng Continent, but when a Jindan asks such questions about foundation building, it definitely means that he has murderous intentions.
"Okay, I'll leave now," Yan Sicong turned around and ran, not even caring about the bystanders around him.
He ran a few steps, but he thought of the majesty of the Yan family again, and couldn't help shouting, "The one who did it... wasn't the Yan family!"
There is no doubt that there are more than one or two people watching around, and even more spiritual awareness.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this... Oh my god, was Hongye Ridge really tricked this time?
At this time, no one cared about making fun of the Yan family. Everyone was thinking: Who the hell is so bold?
Previously, Hongye Ridge was considered mysterious in the Yan family's territory, but it did not really show how strong it was.
However, the last golden elixir thunder and the Yan family’s almost inaction gave the onlookers an intuitive understanding!
This is definitely a very powerful force, but it just doesn't show off.
