2770 Chapter 2770 bargaining
After Master Xiahou heard Yun Chujiu’s words, he almost sprayed her face with dew.
You F * cking lie!
With your behavior, how could you have a conscience to return the Lotus Roots? Maybe you want to steal the rest!
Yun Chujiu heard Master Xiahou’s doubts and waved her hand, “Master, you really wronged me. I’m almost tired of eating, why would i steal these broken lotus roots? !”
Master Xiahou was so angry that he snorted. Even if he could eat a few green jade lotus roots, it would be a luxury. This guy was really good. He was actually tired of eating it. It was really infuriating!
However, when Master Xiahou thought of the endless immortal spring water in the underground river, he was very happy. With this water, he could completely expand the scale of the cultivation of Green Jade Lotus roots and green jade prawns.
Thinking of Green Jade Prawns, Master Xiahou’s heart skipped a beat. He stared at Yun chujiu and asked, “Are you planning to steal green jade prawns from the underground river today?”
Yun Chujiu’s eyes widened. “Master, I have already made a mistake once, how can I make it again? “Besides, if I want to eat, I can ask Mo Feng for a few. How can he be so stingy as not to give them to me?”
Master Xiahou was skeptical, and then he asked, “You came to me today to admit your mistake?”
“That’s one thing. I have another important matter to report to you. The thing is, when I went down to the underground river today, I suddenly realized that the water was speeding up, so I became suspicious…”Yun chujiu told him about the matter.
Master Xiahou suddenly stood up, “Is what you said true?”
“It’s absolutely true! Master, it was really a close call this time. If I hadn’t happened to go to the underground river, then once the Divine Devil Hall came to cooperate, the consequences would be…”Yun Chujiu didn’t go any further, she knew that Master Xiahou could imagine the serious consequences.
Master Xiahou’s forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat. If it weren’t for this little girl’s mischievous discovery of the incident between the underground river and the Divine Devil Hall, the murderous origin sect would be in danger!
Master Xiahou only recovered after a long time. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, took out his ident.i.ty jade token, and was about to summon everyone for a discussion.
“Master Xiahou, wait! Are you going to hold a meeting to discuss this matter with everyone?”
Master Xiahou nodded. “That’s right. This matter is of great importance. We must take a long-term plan.”
“Master Xiahou, if you listen to me, don’t tell anyone. “Let me tell you, there must be a spy from the Divine Demon Hall in the killing Origin sect. Moreover, their status might not be low. If you hold a meeting, it would not be worth it to alert the enemy.”
Master Xiahou Thought for a while. “What you said makes sense. But if we don’t hold a meeting, what if the Divine Demon Hall attacks the killing origin sect from the Underground River?”
“It’s simple. Let’s play along with the plan and do it secretly! Let’s do it this way…”Yun Chujiu’s eyes were full of slyness.
Master Xiahou’s eyes became brighter and brighter. In the end, he laughed out loud and said, “Alright! Alright! We’ll do as you say!”
“Master, I’ve done something amazing. Don’t you have something to show for it?”A certain Jiu said shamelessly.
“How about this? We will not pursue the matter of you stealing the Green Jade Lotus Root.”Master Xiahou said with a twinkle in his eyes.
A certain Jiu obviously did not agree, so the old man and the young man began to bargain. A certain Jiu’s words were like a flower falling from the sky. She said something about saving the essence-killing sect from the fire and water, and something about the discovery of the underground river.., it brought a lot of money to the essence-killing sect.
In the end, the two finally reached an agreement: every year, the Green Jade Lotus Root and green jade prawns produced by water mountain would be given one-tenth to this fellow. Moreover, in order to protect this fellow’s reputation, master Xiahou couldn’t tell anyone about her stealing the lotus root.
Master Xiahou thought to himself, this fellow is almost like a rat crossing the street, how could there be any reputation left to speak of? !
