Chapter 56: They Are All Good People!

Looking at Yun Jiu, who was as wretched as a dying stray dog.

Su Ping did not know what to say for a moment.

Do simps never have a good end?

Thinking of Yun Jiu's background, Su Ping knew that such behavior was understandable.

Among the Outer Sect Disciples of the Immortal Sect, those who fall for honey traps are usually cultivators from such humble origins.

It is not that it is their inherent nature, but rather that their upbringing and experiences make them more prone to falling into such traps.

Looking at the children of noble families, they have had bed-warming maids since childhood, who not only take care of their daily needs but also serve as their first teachers.

Those disciples who are highly valued are even arranged with beautiful wives and concubines from a young age, thereby lifting the veil of mystery and making them no longer curious about such matters.

This facilitates their education and helps establish a worldview consistent with that of a noble family heir.

Yun Jiu clearly did not have such a fate, yet because he was noticed for his talent, he was designed against and trapped before he had even grown accustomed to his own status.

Like many predecessors, he mistook lust for love at first sight.

And it was further reinforced by self-indulgent sentimentality.

"This time you went to the Market... did you see her?"

After hearing the story, Su Ping gave up on the thankless task of questioning him.

He just casually echoed the question.

Hearing this, Yun Jiu's expression was somewhat awkward: "I just handed the gift to her personal maid and left."

"In my current state, it is better not to meet..."

"So, you didn't even see her for the last time, you just finished delivering the gift, and then you came here to tell me all this?"

Su Ping resisted the urge to rub his head and continued to ask.

Yun Jiu nodded hurriedly: "Senior Brother, I cannot return to the Immortal Sect in my current state, and the Deacon Senior Brother also warned me not to go back for a short time."

"I thought about it and plan to stay at the Jiuye Mountain Market for a while. I visited you, Senior Brother, hoping to borrow some Demon Beast meat."

"After leaving the Yunshan Market, I don't have a single Spirit Stone left."

"But I will definitely pay it back, double! Although I was severely injured this time, I broke through a bottleneck because of it and can now draw First Tier Talismans."

Facing Yun Jiu's request.

Su Ping hesitated for a moment, and after clearing his thoughts, he understood the general situation.

Because he drew that strange beast-taming Talisman, Yun Jiu was severely injured, not only looking withered but also tainted with deathly aura.

That Outer Sect Deacon was clearly wary of this aura being discovered by the Immortal Sect, so he strictly ordered Yun Jiu not to return to the Immortal Sect for a short time.

Unlike the Market, where you can enter as long as you pay the Spirit Stones and are not a registered evil cultivator of the Immortal Sect.

After all, Yun Jiu is an Outer Sect Disciple, and one with some talent at that; once other Outer Sect Deacons or even Inner Sect Disciples discover the abnormality and conduct a detailed inspection...

I am afraid some secrets would be exposed, and that is what that Outer Sect Deacon does not want to see.

"Jiuye Mountain Market? There are mostly Loose Cultivators there, so no one would dare to target you."

"But you need to know that people's hearts are treacherous. Since you are no longer in the Outer Sect, you must be extra careful."

Su Ping was not surprised by Yun Jiu's request; the fact that he, the great philanthropist of Jinque City, had hunted multiple Demon Beasts was no secret.

"Fine, I will give you thirty catties of beef jerky from a one-horned ox, and I will also give you a jar of Tiger Bone Wine I just brewed."

"The quality isn't great, and you know that the high-quality ones don't fall to me to kill."

"But it still has the intended effect; it should be helpful for your recovery."

"However, it is agreed that this is all lent to you. Once you recover, it must all be converted into your Talismans."

Su Ping pretended to be pained as he took the wine and meat from his Storage Bag and handed them to Yun Jiu.

Yun Jiu thanked him and nodded repeatedly, bowing to Su Ping in gratitude. There are many who add flowers to the brocade, but few who offer charcoal in snowy weather!

Yun Jiu was very moved, feeling that he had not misjudged the person; this Senior Brother Su Ping was a great person, second only to Luo Xian Zi and the Deacon Senior Brother in kindness to him!

Once he succeeds in the future, he must repay this kindness well!

Su Ping stood in the high building of Linyue Villa, watching Yun Jiu leave.

This Yun Jiu could be considered an investment attempt by Su Ping in an Immortal Sect disciple.

After all, as his own cultivation level improves, some resources must be obtained from the Outer Sect or large Markets.

Yet, it is not easy for Su Ping to go to those places in his capacity as an Inspector, nor is it necessary to risk being discovered for his true cultivation level.

"However, did that Outer Sect Deacon not send anyone to silence him?"

"Am I overthinking it, or... does that Outer Sect Deacon trust Yun Jiu's character that much?"

Thinking of Yun Jiu's performance, Su Ping felt that the latter was more likely.

Of course, it is more likely that there were other circumstances that prevented the other party's actions.

Causing the other party to give up on silencing Yun Jiu.

Otherwise, this Yun Jiu would never have had the chance to run over and borrow Demon Beast meat from him.

The day after Su Ping sent Yun Jiu away, he somewhat unexpectedly received a letter from that contemporary Deacon.

That contemporary Deacon, come to think of it, shares the same surname as Yun Jiu.

It is just that Yun Jiu is from a farming family, while that Deacon Yun is from a branch of a noble family in a large city.

It is rumored that after he became a Deacon, the branch became the main branch, and his father also became the Patriarch.

It can be considered a Qi Refining cultivator version of "when one person attains the Dao, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Su Ping quickly browsed through Deacon Yun's letter.

The letter expressed concern for Yun Jiu's infatuation and fear of the recent chaos in the Immortal Sect.

As an Outer Sect Deacon, he knows more about the chaos and anomalies in various places, and therefore is more fearful of the future than many Outer Sect Disciples.

Then, the tone of the letter shifted, and this Deacon Yun mentioned that he had recently discovered a strange beast with a suspected Qilin Bloodline hidden in an abandoned mine.

This exotic beast has at most Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation, but it is extremely cunning and agile, making it difficult to capture.

This Deacon Yun knows that Su Ping is already at Mid-stage Qi Refining, and he hopes Su Ping can come to help him.

He also indicated that he has already contacted more than ten fellow Daoists of the same stage, and their Dharma Artifacts and Spirit Talismans are all fully prepared.

The success rate of this operation is very high; if Su Ping goes, he will surely have a bountiful harvest!

"An exotic beast with a Qilin Bloodline, this is no less than a Dragon-type Exotic Beast!"

"No wonder this Deacon Yun couldn't help but want to drain the pond to catch the fish regarding Yun Jiu!"

"This letter is also interesting; first it gives a sense of crisis, then it proposes this... it would be strange if someone else weren't tempted."

Su Ping shook his head slightly, took out paper and pen, and began to write a reply: "What a pity, I can already mass-produce things like Dragon-type Exotic Beasts!"

"The risk of this matter is too great; I had better not participate!"

Su Ping had already made his decision, directly using the excuse that he had suffered internal injuries while battling Demon Beasts and had not yet recovered, to decline the invitation from this Deacon Yun.

As for whether the other party believes it or not, so what?

Su Ping could not be bothered! In any case, if the other party really wants to come and launch a sneak attack, then they cannot blame him, Su Ping, for not observing martial ethics and launching a counter-ambush! Su Ping gave the letter to the City Lord Mansion and sent it out through their channels.

Then Su Ping closed his eyes and communicated with the swarm of rats through Xiaobai and Xiaohui... and immediately saw the outskirts of Jinque City.

A rather spectacular Dharma Assembly venue had already been set up.

As two-meter-tall Buddha Pagodas were placed at the nodes, the entire Dharma Assembly site became a grand array! (End of chapter)
