Chapter 184 Marrying into Tushan
It is precisely because of this that he wants to break through this invisible barrier.
Tushan Rongrong listened to Ximen Tianyu's words quietly, with complex emotions flashing in her fox eyes. She had never thought that the tacit understanding and protection between her and her sister would be so deeply understood and understood by him.
"You're right. Maybe we really need to communicate more instead of just bearing it alone."
Tushan Rongrong said softly, with a hint of tenderness and relief in her voice. She even looked at Ximen Tianyu with a little more trust in her eyes.
Ximen Tianyu smiled slightly, as if all his fatigue disappeared at this moment. He knew that his words had touched Tushan Rongrong's heartstrings, causing her to re-examine her relationship with Tushan Yaya.
"Now that things here have come to an end for the time being, Sister Rongrong is going back to Tushan?"
Looking at the stars in the distance, Ximen Tianyu asked Tushan Rongrong about her next plans.
"Yes, I need to return to Tushan as soon as possible to inform my sister of the situation here and discuss countermeasures." Tushan nodded, and her eyes fell on Ximen Tianyu again, "What about you? What are your plans next?"
Ximen Tianyu pondered for a moment, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "I plan to continue to stay in the Brotherhood. I always feel that the purpose of this organization is not simple."
"Your intuition has always been sharp. There are indeed many secrets hidden behind the Brotherhood." Tushan Rongrong nodded in agreement, with a hint of worry in her eyes. "But you have to be careful. The Brotherhood is complicated and has many powerful members. Even our Tushan intelligence network doesn't know much about them."
Ximen Tianyu smiled slightly, with a confident light in his eyes: "Don't worry, Sister Rongrong. I will act carefully. After all, I still hope to rely on their intelligence network to find some clues about my parents."
"In that case, you should be careful."
Before leaving, Tushan Rongrong took out a small jade pendant from her sleeve and gently handed it to Ximen Tianyu: "I will return to Tushan next. The space formation of this jade pendant does not support you to teleport that far directly. Therefore, I set the teleportation point in the nearest intelligence station in Tushan. If I really encounter a crisis that cannot be solved, the people over there will help you as much as possible."
"Sister Rongrong, how many jade pendants like this do you have? Otherwise, give them all to me."
Ximen Tianyu took the jade pendant half-jokingly, but a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that this was Tushan Rongrong's trust and care for him.
"These jade pendants are specially made by Gubaozhai, and I personally improved them. Each one contains a complex magic array, and the quantity is limited. However, if you really need it, I can ask them to make more."
"Of course, there will be a charge for this."
When talking about money, Tushan Rongrong's smile immediately turned sinister.
This made Ximen Tianyu smile bitterly. He knew very well how smart and persistent Tushan Rongrong was when it came to money, so he shook his head helplessly and said self-deprecatingly, "Then I'd better save some money. After all, I don't have as much financial resources as Tushan."
"I forgot to tell you that this space-transmission jade pendant is sold for eight hundred taels of silver. Since we are friends, I won't charge you for the processing fee."
"So the three jade pendants are worth two thousand four hundred taels in total, plus the three hundred taels you owed before you left the mountain, the total is two thousand seven hundred taels. So the interest for one year is..."
"Oh, Sister Rongrong, your calculation is really giving me a headache." Ximen Tianyu rubbed his temple in an exaggerated manner, and then pretended to be unwilling to pay the debt, and said shamelessly: "Can we not mention the silver every time we meet? Is the relationship between us not as important as these yellow and white things?" Upon hearing this, Tushan Rongrong's face became even more sinister: "Friendship is friendship, but the account still needs to be settled. However, considering that you did a good job this time, I can give you a discount and waive the interest, but you still have to pay back the principal."
"I can't even pay back the principal..."
Ximen Tianyu muttered softly.
You have to know that in this era, the annual salary of an ordinary farmhand is only a few dozen taels of silver, and these two thousand seven hundred taels are almost their lifetime salary.
Although Ximen Tianyu is a cultivator, he has no intention of taking on bounty missions to make money, so he cannot come up with so much money at once.
"How about I marry into Tushan's family and find a rich lady to support me?"
Ximen Tianyu, who couldn't think of a good solution, made a joking suggestion, trying to change the subject.
However, Tushan Rongrong was unwilling to let Ximen Tianyu off so easily, and deliberately teased him, "Oh? Marrying into Tushan's family? Then you have to ask Sister Yaya if she agrees first. Also, the 'rich sisters' in our Tushan are not easy to deal with. Are you sure you can bear that 'favor'?"
Hearing this, Ximen Tianyu waved his hands in fear and said with a smile: "Haha, Sister Rongrong, stop joking. My small body can't stand the 'hospitality' of the Tushan sisters."
Tu Shan Rongrong smiled lightly and did not continue the topic. Instead, she said seriously, "Okay, let's get back to the point. Since you have decided to stay in the Brotherhood, you must be careful. The forces behind the Brotherhood are complicated. You must not trust anyone easily. If you need anything, contact me through this jade pendant, and I will do my best to help you."
Ximen Tianyu nodded, carefully put away the jade pendant, and then solemnly said goodbye to Tushan Rongrong: "Sister Rongrong, don't worry. I will take good care of myself and find clues about my parents as soon as possible. When you go back, please say hello to Sister Yaya for me and tell her that I am fine."
Tushan Rongrong smiled slightly and patted Ximen Tianyu's shoulder gently: "Okay, I will. Take care of yourself too, and I hope we will meet again in Tushan."
As the morning light began to appear in the east, Ximen Tianyu watched Tushan Rongrong's figure gradually disappear into the distance until she turned into a streak of light and disappeared from his sight.
Turning around and looking in the direction of the Brotherhood, a hint of doubt flashed in Ximen Tianyu's eyes.
Judging from the actions they have participated in in recent days and the information they have received, the goals of the Navoli Brotherhood may not be as simple as they appear.
But this also strengthened his determination to track down the case to the end. Only by going deep into the tiger's den can he uncover the mysteries behind the Brotherhood.
Thinking of this, Ximen Tianyu took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and walked towards the brotherhood.
Returning to the brotherhood camp, he immediately felt a different atmosphere from the past.
