Volume 4: The Rise of Wuji Dao Chapter 12: Grandmaster and Junior Uncle are still waiting outside
It gets cooler as night falls.
A mansion in the east of the city.
After dinner, Hou Jin and others did not rest yet, but sat in the living room discussing the matters of Shuiyue Cave.
Of course, the only ones who are truly qualified to sit there are Hou Jin and Song You.
Others like Han Wei, He Lin and others could only stand.
But He Lin obviously didn't care about this. As an errand boy for Jinyun Commercial Bank, it was already an honor for him to be able to listen in on the conversation between Hou Jin and Mr. Song.
Song You said, "Manager Hou, I think even if we get the account book back, we still need to find out where Shuiyue Cave is."
As soon as Hou Jin heard it, he understood that Song You still resented the kidnapping and wanted to use the power of Wuyou Society to take revenge.
But didn't he have such thoughts?
If today's operation fails, won't Manager Hou lose face?
If I go back, I might be punished.
So he cooperated and said, "Mr. Song said that even if Shuiyuedongtian handed over the account book, it might be possible to copy it and keep a backup?"
"Need I say that?" Song You said unhappily, "Since they may know the contents of the account book, they only have two options: either cooperate with us or be silenced!"
"That's what Mr. Song is thinking about, but with just our manpower, I'm afraid we can't deal with the people from Shuiyue Dongtian." Hou Jin pretended to be helpless.
"No problem!" Song You waved his hand, "I will write a letter to the Third Elder, and he will bring enough people to support us. If Shuiyue Dongtian cooperates obediently, it will be fine. If not, he will be expelled from the team!"
"With what Elder Song said, I feel relieved."
As far as Hou Jin knew, the five elders of Wuyou Society had all reached perfection in the eighth level of acquired realm. They only needed to break through that crucial step to become half-step innate realm.
The twenty-three guardians under the five elders are basically all masters of the seventh or eighth level of the acquired realm.
Therefore, as long as the Third Elder listened to Song You and brought people here, even if they couldn't destroy Shuiyue Cave, they would have no problem finding out its background.
If Shuiyue Dongtian's strength is stronger than they expected, they will just ask for help.
Wuyouhui is the backer of Jinyun Commercial Bank, and Wuyouhui has been able to roam freely in the martial arts world for twenty to thirty years, but it also has a backer...
After saying this, Manager Hou was about to say goodbye to Old Song and go back to his room to sleep, but he stopped outside and a caravan guard shouted, "Who is it?"
Hou Jin looked at Song You, who smiled and said, "It should be the people from Shuiyuedongtian who came to deliver the account books. Humph, I knew they wouldn't dare to disobey after hearing the name of Wuyouhui."
After saying that, Old Song rushed out first.
Hou Jin and others also hurriedly followed out.
When we arrived at the yard, we saw a woman in a black gauze hat standing calmly surrounded by dozens of caravan guards.
Although these guards are not masters, they all have the strength of the second or third level of the acquired realm. Most people cannot remain so calm when surrounded by this group of people.
But when they saw clearly that the person coming was the "Hua Mujin" whom they had met during the day, Hou Jin and Song You were relieved - the more skilled one is, the more courageous one is.
Hou Jin immediately bowed and said, "It turns out to be Elder Hua. I wonder what brings you here so late at night?"
"Hua Mujin" said: "I found the account book in Qinglong Temple. I don't want to keep it any longer, so I sent it here overnight. I hope to clear up the misunderstanding with Wuyou Society."
As he spoke, "Hua Mujin" took out a book.
Seeing this, Hou Jin did not rashly go to take the "account book" himself, but motioned He Lin to go, and asked: "What do you think about the cooperation? Since your sect has come into contact with this account book, you must know how much profit Qinglong Temple has made by cooperating with us, right?"
At this time, He Lin came to "Hua Mujin" with a worried look on his face and wanted to take the account book, but "Hua Mujin" held it tightly and took it back.
She said, "I came here tonight to talk about this... But with your people surrounding me like this, I'm afraid it's hard to talk, right?"
From what "Hua Mujin" said, it seemed that Shuiyue Dongtian was willing to cooperate, and Hou Jin couldn't help but feel happy.
He would be happy if the matter could be resolved here.
So he waved his hand, asked the caravan guards to step aside, and made a gesture of invitation, "Elder Hua, please come in?"
Unexpectedly, Hua Mujin shook her head and said, "Let's talk in the courtyard. It's spacious."
Seeing this, Hou Jin and Song You looked at each other and found that the last trace of doubt in each other's eyes had disappeared.
In their view, "Hua Mujin" insisted on talking in the courtyard, obviously because she was afraid that they would harm her and was on guard.
Since the visitor is on guard, the possibility that he has other intentions is small, and it is possible that he is here sincerely to discuss cooperation.
Thinking of this, Hou Jin pretended to be generous and said: "Okay, then we will talk in the yard... He Lin, move the tables and chairs out and serve some good tea!"
Then, He Lin brought people to bring tables, chairs, and coffee tables, and served tea. Only then did "Hua Mujin" sit opposite Hou Jin and Song You about ten steps away, ready to talk.
Hou Jin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before saying, "Elder Hua, can you hand over the account book to me now?"
"Can."
"Hua Mujin" responded with a smile, threw the account book in his hand towards Hou Jin.
This move of hers involved the circulation of her true Qi, which was quite powerful, so the account book flew like a dart.
Hou Jin didn't think much about it and thought that "Hua Mujin" was testing his strength.
He wanted to take the account book himself, but was afraid of being embarrassed, so he could only glance at Song You next to him.
Song You felt that he was defeated by "Hua Mujin" during the day, largely because he underestimated the enemy. Now he wanted to avenge himself, so he set out to take over the account book.
Unexpectedly, almost at the same time, another person leaped in from outside the wall of the house.
This person's lightness skill seemed to be even better than that of "Hua Mujin". He just touched the tiptoes of his feet on the flowers in the yard and then rushed straight to the account book.
Seeing this, Song You and Hou Jin had the same thought in their minds - this person wants to steal the account book!
As for why a third party suddenly appeared to grab the account books, they didn't have time to think about it.
After all, Song You was closer, so he grabbed the account book first, turned around and waved his hand, then used the "Green Dragon Emerging from Water" move to stab the judge's pen hidden in his sleeve at the person who came!
Unexpectedly, the man twisted the long sword in mid-air, and a strange force came out of the sword, which caused Judge Song You's pen to fly out of his hand, and then his wrist was cut by the sword!
After the man fell to the ground, he unceremoniously cut Song You's other wrist with a sword, and then hit Song You on the back with a palm.
"puff!"
Song You spat out a mouthful of blood, fell forward, but used the momentum to leap out of the yard.
He wants to escape!
He is already scared!
After two quick moves, he felt that even though the person's realm was less than half a step to the innate realm, he was definitely at the eighth level of the acquired realm!
Moreover, the martial arts he used were at least at the Xuan level, and were quite exquisite.
There was a strange chill in his true energy, which made his true energy and blood feel frozen.
Such a great master can kill them all by himself. How can he have the courage to fight again?
However, as soon as Song Youcai leaped up, the man flew over like a shadow and stepped heavily on his shoulder.
Bang!
Song You fell down like a stone, causing dust to fly in the yard.
When he stood up staggeringly, coughing up blood, an icy sword was placed on his neck.
This posture was exactly the same as the one when "Hua Mujin" held him hostage during the day.
In an instant, Song You realized something and looked to the other side.
Sure enough, Hou Jin also stood there with a look of shock and anger on his face, not daring to move - but he had already been subdued by "Hua Mujin" with a sword.
Han Wei and a group of caravan guards surrounded the area, but because they were being held hostage, they did not dare to get close.
Seeing this, Song You couldn't help but yelled with a green face: "You Shuiyue Dongtian, aren't you afraid of our Wuyou Society's revenge?!"
"Hua Mujin" laughed and said, "We are doing this precisely because we are afraid of your revenge, right?"
Seeing this, Hou Jin said carefully: "Elder Hua, if you have anything to say, you can just talk it out. Why do this? Even if we can't cooperate, we can still keep out of each other's way."
"Do you believe this?" Hua Mujin asked back.
Hou Jin wanted to say something else, but he heard the woman holding Song You hostage said coldly: "Don't waste time talking to them, hurry up and do your business, the Grand Master and Junior Uncle are still waiting outside."
Hearing this, Hou Jin couldn't help but swallow.
Song You, Han Wei, He Lin and others all shuddered.
They were all thinking: Oh my god, what level of hidden sect is this Shuiyuedongtian ? This woman in black is already so skilled in martial arts, and she even has a junior uncle and a grandmaster? !
