681 How Can I Do This?
Just as Ye Wuhen had said, this flower grew in the Otherworld. It grew on the path to the Netherworld between the Nine Nether and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. On that path, there were thousands of vengeful spirits and demon G.o.ds lying dormant. It was filled with danger.
There were supreme demons hidden among them. Even Meng Tianzheng could not guarantee that he could completely deal with them. Therefore, that place was also known as one of the largest forbidden areas of life in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. For millions of years, no one dared to step foot on that land.
Indirectly, because no one had stepped foot there, there were countless natural treasures growing there. The most famous among them were the three treasures known as the Three Treasures of the Netherworld. Every one of them could make even an existence like Meng Tianzheng go crazy.
For this visit up the mountain, Ye Wuhen specially let his clansmen enter the Netherworld Road to find natural treasures. After losing many experts of the clan, they finally found this Grade Nine Companion Flower.
!!
Although it could not reach a terrifying existence like the Three Treasures of the Netherworld, it was already a rare natural treasure.
Meng Tianzheng could see Ye Wuhen’s sincerity clearly. He silently nodded in his heart and smiled in relief.
“Sigh, you’re so considerate.” Shaking his head, Meng Tianzheng smiled bitterly and continued, “Back then, I helped you because I was entrusted by your father. I couldn’t bear to see the family that my old friend had been protecting all his life drown, so I took action.
“I’ve been friends with your father for ten thousand years. I watched you grow up. There’s no need to treat me as an outsider.”
Ye Wuhen’s eyes were filled with tears as he looked at the white-haired Meng Tianzheng on the cloud platform. He knew very well that Meng Tianzheng’s kindness to him was greater than the sky.
After his father pa.s.sed away, it could be said that the only elder who could make him lower his head was Meng Tianzheng. Only in front of Meng Tianzheng would he have such an emotional change.
“Uncle Meng, I will always remember your kindness to me and never dare to forget it. Back then, if you hadn’t saved me from the abyss in time, I’m afraid I would have been buried in the sea of blood and turned into bones in the tomb. This treasure is a token of my sincerity. Uncle Meng, please accept it.”
Speaking of what happened back then, Ye Wuhen couldn’t help but cry again. It could be seen what kind of torture this stubborn man was enduring. Only in front of Meng Tianzheng could he vent his emotions so impudently.
Ye Qiu and Ming Yue watched silently from behind and couldn’t help but sigh.
“I didn’t expect this tough and stubborn man to have such a weak side.” Ye Qiu couldn’t help but comment.
Ming Yue also nodded and explained, “Everyone has a weakness and something they care about. Different people care about different things. Therefore, the First Elder often said that the Chiliocosm World emphasizes on changes. There must be a reason for something to exist. This might be the profundity of law.”
Hearing her words, Ye Qiu suddenly asked, “Then Senior Sister, what do you care about? Hehe, could it be me?”
Ming Yue blushed and said coldly, “Get lost.”
“Ah, it hurts… So Senior Sister doesn’t care about me. I feel so uncomfortable, as if there are ants crawling on my body.”
Ye Qiu pretended to be very sad. The corner of Ming Yue’s mouth twitched and she said fiercely, “If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll kill you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu hurriedly stopped because he believed that Ming Yue would really do it. He couldn’t guarantee other women, but Ming Yue was quite likely. He had never been able to figure her out with the logic of a normal woman.
The scene returned to the cloud platform.
Looking at the dejected Ye Wuhen, Meng Tianzheng naturally knew in his heart that he was thinking of his wife and children again. He turned around and looked at Ye Qiu. Meng Tianzheng’s mouth moved. After a while, he didn’t say anything.
“Un,” After an unknown period of time, Meng Tianzheng smiled indifferently and said, “Alright, since you’re so considerate, I’ll accept this gift.” As he spoke, he raised his hand and took the Grade Nine Companion Flower. He observed it carefully and smiled. “That’s right. This flower has matured and is an extremely high grade. Unfortunately, it’s useless to me.”
After a while, Meng Tianzheng looked at Ye Qiu. He could tell at a glance that Ye Qiu was very concerned about this thing. Then, he made a choice and said, “Heh, kid, you’ve been doing well recently and didn’t cause me trouble. I’ll give you this Grade Nine Companion Flower.”
“Huh?” Ye Qiu didn’t know how to deal with this sudden surprise. “F*ck, a pie fell from the sky? Impossible. It must be a dream. It must be. Would the old man be so kind?” It was unrealistic, too unrealistic. It was already good enough that the old man didn’t mess with him, but he actually gave him a gift?
Ye Qiu couldn’t believe that this was true. There must be something wrong. There was definitely a trap. No, no. I have to hold it in. I can’t fall for the old man’s trap. Thinking of this, Ye Qiu made an embarra.s.sed expression and said, “This… how can I? First Elder, this is a gift that Patriarch Ye prepared for you. Patriarch Ye doesn’t owe me anything. I feel guilty accepting it.”
“It’s fine since you’re thick-skinned. Take it.” Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, Meng Tianzheng said bluntly with a teasing smile.
When Ye Qiu heard this, his face darkened and the corner of his mouth twitched. He had the urge to curse.
“Haha! Daoist Tianyuan laughed unkindly. He suddenly felt that Ye Qiu was much more pleasing to the eye because the two of them were both in the same boat. They had both been tricked by Meng Tianzheng, and they were both said to be thick-skinned. Not bad, not bad. This kid suits my taste.
“Pfft,” Even Ming Yue was amused by Meng Tianzheng’s sudden words. That beautiful face was filled with a sweet smile, making one’s heart flutter. However, Ye Qiu had no intention of admiring it.
There was only one thought in his mind: hit someone! But then again, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with what Meng Tianzheng said.
“Hmm… It would be a waste not to want it. In any case, I’ve already been said to be thick-skinned. Wouldn’t it be a huge loss not to want it?” Thinking of this, Ye Qiu immediately felt relieved. Since they said that he was thick-skinned, he would be shameless to the end.
“Hehe,” He chuckled and rubbed his palms together as he walked up. As he took the Grade Nine Companion Flower, he said, “Seriously, I already said I didn’t want it, but you insisted on giving it to me. Sigh… I’m so embarra.s.sed. In that case, I’ll accept it. Thank you, Patriarch Ye. I’ll definitely deal with… Uh, no, take good care of Junior Brother Ye.”
Ye Qiu didn’t forget to add in the end. He didn’t know if Ye Qingxuan would be furious when he heard this. My father gave you such a good treasure, but you still want to deal with me?
The corner of Ye Wuhen’s mouth twitched when he saw Ye Qiu’s evil smile. He was very depressed and suddenly felt that this kid was a little asking for a beating. However, since it was Meng Tianzheng’s choice, he had no objections. This was because this was originally for Meng Tianzheng. It was none of his business who he wanted to give it to.
