Chapter 139 Arrogance
"boom!"
The shuttle made a roaring sound, broke through the rain curtain, and rushed towards the direction of the Daming Immortal Sect.
"Sir..." Liu Quan opened his mouth while sitting on the small couch by the window in the cabin. He couldn't hold back any longer. Didn't he say that when he returned, he would invite Li Changqing to go back to Ming Dynasty and be his bodyguard?
Did the other party refuse? Of course, what he wanted to know more was whether there was any accident that caused the gentleman to fail to invite anyone.
"He gave me this." Jiajing withdrew his gaze from the window, raised his hand and took out a jade slip the size of an adult's thumb and handed it to Liu Quan, which answered his doubts.
"This is it," Liu Quan took the jade slip curiously, and then said in surprise: "This is the 'Space Jade'!"
"This is a good thing, hehe," Liu Quan said, his face full of admiration, "You are worthy of being called a gentleman."
"The Space Jade contains a compressed space array, but it can only be refined by cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage."
"Once you encounter danger, crush the jade. The owner of the jade will sense it, and will be taken away by the spatial force of the jade that has recognized the owner immediately."
"If this jade pendant belongs to Li Changqing, then when we are in danger, we can crush the jade pendant and he will be summoned!"
"In this case, it's not certain whether Mr. Li will come to the sect or not." Liu Quan said, handing the jade pendant to Jiajing enviously, "Sir, you must keep this treasure well, it can save your life at the critical moment!"
"I knew that anyone who came into contact with you would be impressed by you. It seems that Li Changqing also admires you." Liu Quan said, picking up the teacup on the small table and looking up. "By the way, sir, why did Li Changqing come to see you this time?"
"Spiritual vein business..." Jiajing said, recalling the scene at Zixian Bookstore before.
Zixian Bookstore, second floor.
"Swish, swish, swish." The rain was pouring down.
Although Li Changqing had set up a ban in advance, this ban allowed sounds from the outside world to come in, but prevented sounds from inside from coming out. It was a one-way isolation ban.
Of course, there are also restrictions that completely isolate the area, but it is obvious that Li Changqing did not use them.
"I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Li. It seems that the Ming Dynasty has no chance of winning the spiritual vein business." Jiajing was the first to break the silence and stood up while speaking. "The Ming Dynasty has been kind to me. I will not betray it."
As he said this, Jiajing clasped his fists and bowed, the meaning was very clear: the negotiations had broken down and there was no need to continue.
"Wait a minute, sir." Just as Jiajing walked to the stairs, Li Changqing's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Sir, keep this..." Li Changqing said, handing the storage ring and a jade pendant to Jiajing. As for the blood contract, he did not give it to Jiajing.
Looking at the storage ring and the 'Space Jade' that were handed to him, Jiajing was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to take them.
"Oh, Mr. Zhu Cong is indeed a smart man," Li Changqing smiled, "Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you. Who makes me admire you, sir?"
Li Changqing shook his head and said with a smile, "It seems that I can only seek cooperation with the Beast Tamer Sect. I hope that the Beast Tamer Sect will not produce another person like Mr. Zhu."
After saying that, Li Changqing raised his hand and said, "Please."
"Sir, the leader of the Daming Immortal Sect should be you!" Li Changqing said again at the door of Zixian Bookstore when he was about to leave.
"Goodbye." Jiajing still did not respond. He just bowed and turned to leave the alley.
"Hiss!" Liu Quan couldn't help but gasp after listening to Jiajing's account of what happened in Zixian Bookstore.
"Let me use the Ming Dynasty as bait to lure the pawns of the other three veins, such as Yellow Wind Valley, into the trap?!"
"Damn it!" Suddenly, Liu Quan's eyes darkened again, "This Li Changqing is really not a good guy!"
"Sir, I always feel that Li Changqing is too dangerous!" After listening to Jiajing's story, Liu Quan took a deep breath, frowned, and said, "But I still don't understand!"
"Sir, you have clearly refused. Why did he still give you this 'Space Jade', and this..." As he spoke, he picked up the storage ring that Jiajing had just taken out.
"A ninth-grade spiritual vein, and 'three enlightenment bodhi seeds', isn't this too generous?"
As Liu Quan spoke, his tone was full of uneasiness.
From the content of the conversation between the two in Xianshupu, Jiajing did not hide anything from Liu Quan and told him everything exactly as it was.
"Sir, why do I feel like I'm courting death?" Liu Quan felt uneasy. This storage ring, which was not heavy, made him feel like he was holding a bomb that could explode at any time.
"Sir, you may be able to figure out what this person is up to. What is his intention? I don't think he is a good person!" Liu Quan hesitated and said, "Why don't you return this thing?"
"It's so disturbing to cooperate with such a ruthless guy..."
"The spiritual vein is handed over to the sect," Jiajing said, picking up the storage ring and taking out a 'Bodhi seed of enlightenment' that was only the size of a melon seed and seemed to be sealed by a stone. "I will take one to practice."
"Sir, did you listen to me? Do we really want to accept these things?" Liu Quan said with a bitter face.
“He’s observing.”
"Observe?" Liu Quan raised his eyebrows and asked puzzledly: "Observe what?"
"Observe, between our Ming Dynasty and the Beast Taming Sect, who is the most suitable to be a chess piece and who is the most suitable to be a bait..."
"Those suitable for use as bait will naturally be discarded."
"The ones who are suitable to be chess pieces are the direct descendants of the Li family of the academy in the future in this wilderness. Just as he said, the Ming Dynasty and the Beast Taming Sect are both his choices."
"I am the meat and the butcher," Jiajing said, looking at Liu Quan, and said in a gloomy tone: "The decision is in the hands of others. Now it seems that he has chosen the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing what Jiajing said, Liu Quan nodded thoughtfully, suddenly looked up and said: "But why choose Ming Dynasty as a pawn and give up the Beast Taming Sect..." He suddenly stopped talking.
Considering how much Li Changqing valued Jiajing, I suddenly understood that there seemed to be nothing in the entire Ming Dynasty that was worthy of his attention.
If I have to say there is one, it would only be you, sir!
Jiajing glanced at Liu Quan, did not say much on this topic, and continued to speak to clear up his confusion.
"According to what Li Changqing said, we can use the bait to clean up the southeast area, and then rebuild our forces."
"In that case, why not save the Ming Dynasty from the beginning?"
"Don't forget, Daming is an emerging sect in the entire Great Wilderness with an extremely clean foundation and huge growth potential."
“Although the Beast Taming Sect has not joined the other three sects, the relationship behind the Beast Taming Sect is with the families in the southern border of the Central Plains.”
"The network is complex and the forces are intertwined. After comparing many options, it is naturally my Ming Dynasty that is the most suitable."
"Hmm..." After Jiajing finished speaking, Liu Quan was silent for a moment, forced a smile on his face, then silently picked up the teacup and sipped it, but his furrowed brows showed that he was not calm inside.
Seeing this, Jiajing looked at the storage ring and space jade on the table, his eyes flickering.
Although he told Liu Quan about his conversation with Li Changqing in Zixian Bookstore, there was one thing he never said.
That is the sentence that Li Changqing has repeated three times, including the last time: "Sir, the leader of the Daming Immortal Sect should be you."
This is Li Changqing’s purpose!
Such huge profits are all due to me alone.
This was an open conspiracy, meant to make everyone in the Daming Sect understand that Li Changqing, the head of the Li family of the academy, was interested in Daming because of Zhu Cong, not because of other people in the Daming Immortal Sect.
In the future, whatever comes up, please discuss it with yourself.
The leader Dugu Ying delegated power to himself and Liu Quan to manage the sect and develop it, but Liu Quan was excluded by Li Changqing.
If this continued, there would be a rift between him and the true core of the sect, namely the three Dugu brothers and Liu Quan. Jiajing understood that Li Changqing wanted to win him over in this way.
At the same time, he was also telling himself that no one could resist his will.
This person is also a master at playing with people's hearts.
This is a kind of arrogance that looks down on everyone and treats everyone as a plaything!
