Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 4: Generosity is the color of heroes since ancient times
When Ying Lili appeared in the meeting hall of "Qingxinju" wearing a light pink pleated gauze jacket and skirt, but with a pink gauze wrapped around her neck tightly, everyone present immediately looked over. Seeing the abrupt and strange gauze around her neck, they all showed a look of understanding. The evildoer Shen Fei even whistled at Ying Lili with a lewd expression, which made Ying Lili feel that she was trying to hide something and she was immediately ashamed.
However, if she didn't wrap herself like this, everyone would see the strawberry marks on her neck, which would only make her a laughing stock.
Forget it, they're all female hooligans anyway, and they won't have trouble finding a husband, so who's afraid of who? When Jing Lili took a step forward, the Shen family's evildoer, who was always looking for chaos, couldn't help but tease, "Hey, where's your Mo Yi? Why didn't he come with you? Could it be that he was too tired last night and couldn't get out of bed?"
Ping Lili stumbled and kicked the door railing. He lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. Isn't this just bringing up something that is not related to the topic?
At this moment, a breeze blew by, and a hand behind her held her steadily. The breath of that person immediately lingered around her. She knew who it was without looking back. Ping Lili quickly shook him off like a frightened bird. She didn't even have time to say thank you. Like a grasshopper, she jumped in a few steps to the seat that people had specially reserved for her, sat down, and forced herself to take a deep breath and tried to pretend to be calm.
However, that person seemed to sneer at the behavior of Gong Lili's deliberate avoidance or drawing a line between them. He walked up to her without any courtesy and paused for a moment. Yan Zheng, who was originally sitting next to Gong Lili, immediately stood up and changed his seat, giving his seat to him.
The pretentious old man sat down next to Gong Lili without any courtesy, calmly straightened his light blue robe, and swept his cold eyes around the four seats.
Most of the guys who had originally planned to watch the show immediately put away their joking smiles, and sat upright with their eyes fixed straight ahead. It was a joke. Those present were all extremely smart people, and they all had a consensus in their hearts, that is, they could offend anyone, but they must not offend the ancestor of the Nayu tribe, because he was a man of iron and blood, and he did not recognize any relatives.
As the saying goes, you have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze, right? Xiaoxiao Penglili is fine, the little girl is kind and won't really get angry, but making fun of this old man is simply digging his own grave.
Of course, there were also some people who disliked Mo Yi very much, especially those who were particularly angry when they saw Mo Yi attacking Gong Lili. At this time, they sat there with a dark face and gnashed their teeth. If Qingluan beside him had not grabbed his wrist calmly, he would have thrown the teacup at Mo Yi's face.
"It seems that the new chief of the Nayu tribe is really good at showing off. He came late and made everyone in the room wait for a long time without even a word of apology." Although he was not allowed to take action, he still wanted to show off his quick words. Wei Xingying attacked without any hesitation.
But who was Mo Yi? Although he'd woken up feeling somewhat unsatisfied, he'd at least managed to steal someone's love. He was in a good mood today, so naturally, he didn't bother to argue with Wei Xingying. He didn't reply, but leisurely took a sip from the teacup beside him. Then, slightly leaning forward, he glanced at Qinglili leisurely, his half-smile fixed on the veil around Qinglili's neck, which immediately put Qinglili on pins and needles.
"Ahem, sorry to have kept you all waiting. Let's get down to business." Gong Lili quickly changed the subject. It was a joke. If she didn't change the subject quickly, who knew what that rascal Mo Yi would do to embarrass her? After last night, Gong Lili had almost a completely new understanding of Mo Yi. In particular, she was still frightened by his dark side and shamelessness. So, it was better to get down to business and distract everyone: "I gathered everyone here today. First, to thank everyone who helped us in the previous battle with Sha Mo. Second, I believe everyone is clear about the matter of the Demon Realm Key. I won't say much. Today I just want to brainstorm and discuss with everyone how to find the Demon Realm Key. See if anyone has any useful clues. After all, this is a major event related to the entire Xu Ming Realm."
The people present at this moment, besides Yan Zheng, Wei Xingying, and the others, also included Shen Fei and Huan Zhu. This was basically everyone familiar with Ying Lili, and all the forces that could be mobilized. The three former elders of the Shamo Clan had been seriously injured in the previous battle at the temple. Because of Ying Lili's dejection, they had been forced to temporarily handle the affairs of the Shamo Clan for her. Now that Ying Lili had recovered and was willing to truly take over the affairs of the Shamo Clan, they were extremely relieved to hand over their responsibilities and returned to the back mountains to retreat and heal their wounds. Ying Lili had even the three knowledgeable elders had never heard of any rumors regarding the Key to the Demon Realm.
That's why Gong Lili thought of gathering all these people together. After all, three cobblers can make a good Zhuge Liang, especially Shen Fei and Huan Zhu. Both families are well-informed and powerful, and there may be some good clues.
Moreover, in the previous battle of Shamo Temple, Shen Fei and Huan Zhu made a lot of efforts to help Yan Zheng defend Shamo City, and their contributions are indispensable. In addition, their ancestors once kept the glass scroll for Gong Lili. Although it was later proved that it was the "Underworld Book" of the Nayu tribe, Gong Lili remembered the great friendship in her heart, so she also wanted to take the opportunity to ask them if they needed her help. After all, in Gong Lili's heart, even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, let alone such a great favor.
The two were surprisingly polite, especially Huan Zhu. He rejected Gong Lili's offer with a serious expression, "A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pounds. We helped Sha Mo because of our ancestors' wishes. We did it voluntarily. Miss Gong, you don't have to feel like you owe us anything."
These words made Ying Lili feel even more guilty. She glanced at Yan Zheng sheepishly, and Yan Zheng spread his hands in a helpless gesture. Those two families, one as wealthy as a nation, the other a family of medicine kings, truly had nothing to offer them in return.
Mo Yi, on the other hand, took a sip of tea nonchalantly and said calmly, "My Nayu clan just acquired Mingsha City and Licheng, the territories of the Kongming clan, a few days ago. I heard that there are currently no Huan family businesses in those places. I wonder if the head of the Huan family is interested in expanding the scope of the Huan family business?"
Although Mo Yi said this lightly, everyone present knew that this was like sending mountains of gold and silver to the Huan family. Although the Huan family had many businesses in the Xu Ming Realm, they had always been at odds with the Kong Ming Clan, and the Kong Ming Clan was xenophobic. Even the Huan family did not have the ability to open businesses in Licheng or even Mingsha City. However, the situation was different now. The Kong Ming Clan was wiped out overnight, and now Licheng and Mingsha City were occupied by the Nayu Clan. That was one-third of the territory of the Xu Ming Realm. It would be a lie to say that the Huan family did not covet it.
What was Mo Yi's identity? As the newly appointed patriarch of the Nayu clan, his opening of his mouth naturally meant the Nayu clan was opening its doors to the Huan family. Even Huan Zhu, accustomed to the vicissitudes of life , couldn't help but beam with joy, thinking that the Huan family would finally flourish under his own hands. It seemed he could finally fulfill his ancestors' unfulfilled wish of spreading the Huan family's business to every corner of the Xuming Realm.
Seeing Huanzhu's delighted expression, Pinglili glanced at Mo Yi with gratitude, but Mo Yi ignored him and continued to say to Shen Fei, "There is a place called 'Thunder Cave' on the Mobei Plateau of my Nayu tribe. Although it is covered with snow all year round, it has plenty of sunshine and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges. It is said that there are many rare flowers and rare animals rarely seen in the Xuming Realm. If you are interested, I will send someone to show you the way and escort you a way."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Fei stood up suddenly: "Are you serious?"
The excitement was almost beyond words. Just kidding, the 'Thunder Cave Ting' on the Mobei Plateau is a legendary treasure land in the Xu Ming Realm. It is said that there grows the Lingxiao fruit which takes a thousand years to bloom and bear fruit. It is an important ingredient in refining the elixir that Shen Fei has always dreamed of. It is said that there is only one plant of that thing in the entire Xu Ming Realm, which is located in the depths of the 'Thunder Cave Ting'. The 'Thunder Cave Ting' is deep in the Mobei Plateau and has always been a forbidden area for the Nayu Clan. Even in the five hundred years that the Nayu Clan has been silent, no outsider has ever successfully entered it. Either they go and never come back, or they don't have the chance to get close to it at all.
Shen Fei naturally did not have the ability to explore the "Thunder Cave" but that did not mean he did not covet the flowers, plants, rare animals and treasures there. It was just that due to the remaining power of the Nayu tribe and Shen Fei's self-knowledge, they were always out of reach.
Because he couldn't find the Lingxiao Fruit, he had to find other recipes instead, but the results were less than satisfactory. Furthermore, the previous alchemy pot was on the verge of success, but it failed at the last moment, which had made Shen Fei regretful for a long time. If he could find the Lingxiao Fruit, he could avoid many detours and perhaps have a chance to refine the elixir again.
Moreover, Shen Fei had long heard that the Thunder Cave on the Mobei Plateau contained many extremely rare and precious species from the Void Realm, such as the Nine-tailed Deer and the Jade Unicorn... If he could bring back all those rare medicinal ingredients, what could he refine? Not to mention that medicine, even the elixir of immortality, he, Shen Fei, could refine it!
Yan Lili had been teased by Shen Fei before, and she had been holding her breath for a long time. Seeing the happy expression on Shen Fei's face, she finally found an opportunity for revenge. She teased him bluntly, "Shen Yao, look at you, you're drooling so eagerly. Could it be that there's some stunning beauty in 'Thunder Cave'?"
Turning around, she gave Mo Yi a faint smile. She knew that Mo Yi was so generous now, handing over those things that the world thought were shameful to the two people not only because the Huan and Shen families kept the "Netherworld Book" for their Na Yu clan, but more importantly, he was repaying her for the debt of favor that the Sha Mo clan could not repay. The gratitude in her heart was beyond words, but now there was no need for those hypocritical courtesies between her and him. Since he wanted to help her, she would just accept it generously.
