Zhou You looked at the Old Man with a strange expression; this Old Man knew quite a lot of things.
The Old Man smiled apologetically, “It’s just that I’ve lived a little longer, so I still understand some of the ins and outs.”
Zhou You asked, puzzled, “Since you understand so much, why don’t you go into business?”
The Old Man gave a dry laugh, “Talking is one thing, but actual execution is quite difficult. For example, capital, or discovering what kind of business opportunities first. If these can’t be determined, acting rashly carries too much risk and you might lose even your underwear.”
Zhou You smiled, feeling a bit bored.
Seeing this, the Old Man’s expression couldn’t help but turn awkward, “These small tricks naturally can’t compare to your large Sects. Large Sects take people as their fundamental investment. They select talents one in a million and Cultivate them. As long as a good seedling, a strong individual, emerges, then the Cultivation resources invested in them can return tenfold, even a hundredfold.”
What does the birth of a strong individual mean?
It means wealth, power, status, and vast Cultivation resources!
Words are useless; strength is the most important.
Whoever possesses powerful strength possesses absolute say.
Zhou You stretched, “There are plenty of Schools that have collapsed due to a lack of successors.”
Just like the Sha Sect.
One instance of embezzlement directly dropped them out of the top five hundred, and now they are probably close to bankruptcy.
In the end, the Sand Dagger even fell into the hands of an outsider.
Zhou You walked out, and at the same time asked, “Are there only these four people in the local strongman’s force?”
“It seems three are missing.”
The Old Man’s expression subtly changed; only then did he remember the important matter.
Zhou You uttered an “Oh,” “I thought they were all here.”
The Old Man stamped his foot anxiously, “What kind of dog am I? Would they all gather to greet me? This is bad, things are serious now, something unexpected might happen.”
He paced back and forth, extremely anxious.
Ultimately, he was just a Loose Cultivator.
His strength was indeed decent, but overall, he was still on the weaker side.
Zhou You frowned slightly, “Why do you look like your father died? Is it that serious?”
The Old Man’s face immediately fell, “Young Master, you have people protecting you, so naturally you don’t worry. You can’t understand us, who have no one to rely on.”
Someone protecting him?
Zhou You thought of the Old Man on the mountain; that was true.
No matter what, he was his Disciple. If something really big happened, would he not protect him?
Would he protect him?
He wouldn't not protect him, would he?
Zhou You unnaturally rubbed the tip of his nose. Why did he suddenly feel less confident?
He remembered that when he left, he had righteously declared a severance of the Master-Disciple relationship.
He didn’t seem to say it was a joke?
“Oh, my goodness.”
Zhou You broke out in a cold sweat, “How could I forget such an important sentence?”
After making a joke, you must remember to tell the other person that it was a joke.
Otherwise, they would take it seriously.
Thinking about how the Old Man usually acted, he occasionally didn’t seem like a normal person.
After all, he was very old, so being a bit muddled was normal.
“I am weak, I am weak, I must act low-key.”
Zhou You kept muttering, constantly reminding himself.
Quickly think of some things that would make him scared, like the White-robed Man from the Bone Pagoda earlier.
Think quickly, think quickly…
But he just couldn’t truly feel scared.
Zhou You smacked his head in frustration, feeling that he was beyond help, unable to even normally feel basic fear.
Seeing Zhou You walking away muttering to himself, the Old Man hurriedly called out, “Aren’t you going to search? There might still be many treasures.”
Zhou You replied without looking back, “Life is more important.”
The Old Man hesitated for a moment, then finally rushed in to scavenge, “Life is important my ass. What’s the point of living without money? You’re just talking without feeling the pain.”
Walking on the street, Zhou You’s expression was as calm as ever.
He just wanted to go down the mountain to break his virginity, why was it so difficult?
He seemed to be unable to find anything enjoyable anymore.
Was killing enjoyable?
Not at all.
Was killing Yao Beasts enjoyable?
No feeling either.
Was eating enjoyable?
Of course, it was enjoyable.
Zhou You’s eyes lit up again. He felt that he could lie down later and have Lu Renjia cook for him.
If he was willing.
Or perhaps, he could hire a few chefs to be by his side?
That also seemed like a good idea.
Zhou You thought to himself, life is short, why waste precious years on empty fame?
It was utterly boring.
What top powerhouses, what royal nobles, in fact, were just like that.
As for that damned Fierce Tiger Gate, if this matter ended here, then so be it.
If they were relentless, then he would have to…
Invite his Master down the mountain to reason with them.
As he walked, a wooden stick fell in front of him.
Zhou You looked up and saw a pavilion. A woman with her ample bosom half-exposed, charming and seductive, said, “Little brother, can you help this servant girl pick up her clothes pole?”
Zhou You withdrew his gaze, then stepped on and broke the wooden stick, continuing forward.
“Are you trying to die?”
The woman was furious, “I’m dressed like this, and you still won’t come up? Do I have to strip naked for you to come up?”
Zhou You walked away without looking back.
Inside the room, a large man holding a saber was very puzzled, “Wife, what’s wrong?”
The woman said angrily, “This man definitely has a problem with his body. What kind of man wouldn’t come up after seeing me?”
The large man with the saber spat, “This cheap bone, even when good fortune is handed to him, he doesn’t know how to cherish it.”
The woman pulled her clothes back on, “Are you sure your trick works?”
The large man with the saber glared, “Are you questioning me? I learned this from ‘The Plum in the Golden Vase’. Besides, this is the front line, those men are all crazy with pent-up desires, how could they hold back?”
The woman hesitated, “Could it be that he saw through our plan?”
The large man with the saber’s expression suddenly changed, “If that’s true, then this person must not be allowed to live. Once others know, we won’t be able to lure people up next time.”
As he spoke, he glanced down, “Quick, quick, another one is coming.”
Immediately, he quickly hid behind the door.
The woman took another wooden stick from the side and threw it down, “Oh, little brother, can you help me bring up my clothes pole? Thank you.”
On the street, Lu Renjia rubbed his head and looked up, only to feel a patch of white before his eyes. He thought, in his life, where had he ever seen such a sight? He then looked at the wooden stick lying nearby and was immediately filled with kindness, “Okay, please wait, I’ll bring it up right away.”
Inside the room, the large man with the saber sneered, “I told you, this strategy is brilliant, one hundred percent effective.”
