Chapter 127 - Return the Money to Me
Chapter 127 Return the Money to Me
Seeing that Xue Wanjun didn’t agree, Wu Lie pleaded again and again.
But no matter what he said, Xue Wanjun refused strictly. In the end, Wu Lie slammed the door and left in anger.
Xue Wanjun looked at Ruan Ze and said with a bitter smile, “What should we do now? That Su Wen might as well have just gone to a brothel! How could he infiltrate the Moon Worship Sect? What if something unexpected happens after he ingests that Holy Spirit Pill?”
Ruan Ze was also helpless and said, “Who knows why this person went to Yong County? We are still waiting here like fools. Inform our brothers to leave in a while. Everyone will wear casual clothes and head to Yong County. We will split up and avoid the government. No matter what, we have to protect Su Wen first. We cannot let anything happen to him!”
Xue Wanjun frowned and said, “But if we directly take down that hall in Yong County, then the Moon Worship Sect will probably take precautions! Su Wen consumed that Holy Spirit Pill, so even if we take down that hall, we won’t have the antidote! At that time, the Sect will be on guard, and since Su Wen doesn’t have the antidote to eat, wouldn’t he be dead for sure?”
“Um…”
“Whatever, let’s go take a look first. No matter what, we can’t stay in Jiashan City forever.”
However, what they were not aware of was that Wu Lie, who had been rejected by Xue Wanjun, had rushed back to Yong County after some rest!
Just as Su Wen was cultivating in his room… A knock was heard on his door, and Murong Yan’s voice came from outside.
“Brother Qiang, Little Brother Qiang! Look who I brought back!”
“Eh?!
Su Wen was dumbfounded. He opened the door and saw Wu Lie standing at the door. He said excitedly, “Daqiang! I’ve decided to listen to you and join the sacred cult!”
Murong Yan smiled and said, “I went shopping today and happened to run into him wandering around the market. He said he wanted to find you! So I brought him back for you.”
“Ha… ha ha… ha ha…”
Su Wen cursed in his heart.
Good fellow, he really just wanted to court death.
If this idiot died here, Wu Kunhu would not pin the blame on him, right?
“You want to join the sacred cult, right? Pay up! The sacred cult doesn’t accept poor people!” Su Wen wasn’t polite either. If you dare to come, I’ll dare to bring you in!
Wu Lie was struck dumb by this sentence.
“How much?”
“1,000 taels!”
“What? A thousand taels? I don’t have!” Wu Lie screamed.
Murong Yan wasn’t surprised at all. After all, this kind of situation was very normal. She turned around and left, allowing the two to discuss the price.
Su Wen pursed his lips and said disdainfully, “You’re so poor, yet you want to join the sacred cult?”
Wu Lie was not convinced. He did not usually have a thousand taels. The main thing was that he was out fighting. Why would anyone bring so much money?
He only had 180 taels of silver on him, and this was even his emergency funds.
“Put it on the tab! I’ll return it to you when the time comes,” said Wu Lie through gritted teeth.
Su Wen rolled his eyes. “I don’t have any to lend you!”
Wu Lie did not believe him. “You definitely do!”
“I just don’t have any money! If you don’t have money, hurry up and leave. Don’t cause trouble here!”
Wu Lie also threw caution to the wind. “If you give me the money, I will convince my father when we return to the capital and let you come to my home to eat with my sister.” Su Wen narrowed his eyes. ‘Convince Wu Kunhu? Let me have dinner with Wu Muyu at his place?’
“Can I rely on you?” Su Wen was a little tempted. Sister Muyu a really sweet girl.
He knew that if he really wanted to get married to Wu Muyu, he had to get through this hurdle.
Having a meal first was considered a huge improvement, as good as from o to 1!
Wu Lie patted his chest and promised, “Don’t worry! Leave it to me!” “Write an IOU!” “Alright!”
The two of them entered the room and Wu Lie wrote down a note. Su Wen looked at it and put it away in satisfaction. He casually took out a banknote worth a thousand taels of silver and said, “Alright, the silver is for you! But let me make this clear first. You have entered the Moon Worship Sect, so you have to think twice before you speak, let alone leak out any secrets. Your father is a pimp from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion! Did you tell Murong Yan your surname?”
“Not yet!” “Alright then, let’s not use your original surname. Let’s call you Su Lie!” Wu Lie said indignantly, “On what basis?” “Hehe, you, Wu Lie, are a famous general. What if you use your real name and this arouses suspicion?” “Then why do I have the surname Su?”
“Follow my surname, it’s easy to remember and it’s also very nice to listen to. It’s so much better than that Wu of yours!” “Scram!”
Finally, Wu Lie decided to change his name to Chu Lie!
Wu Lie was 28 years old this year and was already a 9th Grade Star Rank.
The two of them discussed for a while and decided not to let him hide his cultivation level. This was because Wu Lie was not skilled in this area, so if he was discovered by others, it would be troublesome.
Su Wen brought him to Wei Jinyong’s room.
Bang! Bang! Bang! “Come in!”
The two of them entered, and Su Wen said with a smile, “Hall Master Wei, it’s like this. I have a good brother who I met a few days ago. He heard about the benefits of our sacred cult and wants to join. He’s even willing to offer a thousand taels of silver as a tribute to our cult!”
Wei Jinyong did not think much of it at first, but the moment he sized up Wu Lie, he immediately stood up!
He was overjoyed!
This was a 9th Grade Star Rank cultivator! If he could have such a subordinate, his hall’s strength would be greatly boosted! After all, although he had many Star Ranks under him, there were only a few people who could actually reach the 9th Grade in their lives.
“Good! Good! Good!” Wei Jinyong said three times in a row. He looked at Su Wen and smiled. “Daqiang, I didn’t misjudge you. You have a bright future!”
With that said, he turned to Wu Lie and said with a smile, “Since Brother Chu Lie wants to join the sacred cult, do you know the rules?”
“I know!”
Wei Jinyong took out the portrait of the sect master and the Holy Spirit Pill.
Wu Lie made a venomous vow without any hesitation. He picked up the pill and swallowed it immediately!
Wei Jinyong began to introduce the rules of entering the sect to him.
Vu Lie heard Wei Jinyong say, “Actually, there isn’t a fixed number of enrollment offerings. It’s just a way to show your loyalty. Dozens of taels aren’t considered too little, and even 800 or 1,000 taels aren’t considered too much either. After all, the more people you pull in, the more money you pay, are all factors that affect how much you’ll get. For example, this time, your cultivation level is high, so Daqiang can get 500 taels. Therefore, in the future, it’s better to pull in more people to join the cult so that you can earn back your capital faster.” Wu Lie: “???”
III
He turned around with a bitter expression and stared at Su Wen.
He understood now. So it turned out that no one said that they wanted 1,000 taels of silver from him. Su Wen was just deliberately making things difficult.
Su Wen turned his head and stared intensely at the spider web in the corner. He had no intention of looking at Wu Lie.
“Ah Lie, help Hall Master Wei clean up this room later. Look, the cobwebs are already so big,” This was all Su Wen said.
Wu Lie gritted his teeth and nodded.
The two of them then left Wei Jinyong’s room.
“Return the 500 taels to me!” Wu Lie growled at Su Wen.
Su Wen rolled his eyes. “Why should I? I got my commission based on my own abilities, why should I give it to you?”
“You scammed me out of it!”
Su Wen had a look of disdain on his face. “Do I look like I’m scamming you? As the saying goes, ‘Selling as high as the sky, but paying as low as the earth’. You didn’t even try to haggle. If you wanted a cheaper price, with our relationship, I would have let you in even if it cost 10 taels.”
Wu Lie recalled carefully and realized that he did not even once try to haggle. The main thing was that he did not know how to bargain.
“I don’t care. Return the money to me!”
It was not that he cared about the 500 of silver, but he could not swallow this anger.
“Hehe, my Su family doesn’t have a rule of paying for nothing. If you have a method, then you better use it. If you don’t, just scram to a corner!”
“Su… Daqiang, you win this time!”
