Chapter 638: Even if it is poison, I will get it for you
"I already said, I take half a life to compare with him. I use half a life to exchange for him being injured and vomiting blood, very normal, right."
Chen Guanlou said this, his tone was as plain as saying whether to eat pork or mutton today, or whether to sleep with the elder sister of eighteen, or the beautiful woman of twenty-eight.
Hmm!
He still likes older ones, get it!
Chen Guanfu at this moment determined that Chen Guanlou's brain is a bit abnormal, his thinking and ideas are different from normal people. Too calm, too confident, high-spirited.
High-spirited is a good thing.
Competition, comparing cultivation, is more about comparing mentality, comparing spirit.
Before the competition started, if the spirit leaked, then it definitely couldn't win.
However, the spirit is so high, and the time to enter the ninth-rank realm is short. No need to know the specific time, just look at Chen Guanlou's age, and you know that even if he has ninth-rank cultivation, the time is very short. All kinds of shortcomings, but the opponent is ninth-rank peak martial artist Master Qi, where does his confidence come from, why is his spirit so high?
"Your opponent is Master Qi, you can't be careless. Jixia Academy is divided into many mountain heads. Master Qi's mountain head ranks at least in the top five in Jixia Academy. The top five mountain heads, no matter what, cannot be underestimated, how much importance is not too much."
"Listening to your meaning, the internal friction of Jixia Academy is very serious?"
"Where there are people, there is competition. Don't look at Jixia Academy's consistent attitude towards the outside, as if they are wearing a pair of pants. Internally, contradictions are heavy, competition is extremely fierce and cruel, and causing human lives is common."
Chen Guanlou heard this and couldn't help but ponder.
Chen Guanfu thought he wanted to use the internal contradictions of Jixia Academy to set up a game, and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't count on other mountain heads of Jixia Academy to help you. I said, they have a consistent attitude towards the outside. You challenge Master Qi and hurt Master Qi's disciple, other mountain heads will regard you as an enemy. In their eyes, you are not challenging Master Qi, but the entire Jixia Academy."
Chen Guanlou waved his hand, "I am not gold and silver jewelry, I don't count on everyone loving me, and strangers taking the initiative to help me. I am thinking, Jixia Academy's actions should be very arrogant, and many people should not be used to it. What is the Emperor's attitude?"
"Not far, not near."
Need Jixia Academy, but also guard against it.
In the last year or two of the late Emperor, he opened a mouth for Jixia Academy, plotting their pills. Jixia Academy took the opportunity to interfere in the court, extending its tentacles, dreaming of growing bigger and stronger, and creating brilliance again.
After Emperor Emperor Jian Shi succeeded to the throne, he consciously wanted to close this mouth. However, the opened mouth cannot be closed in a while, it needs an opportunity, it needs time.
Perhaps this competition is an opportunity.
Chen Guanfu thought a lot in an instant, inviting the
Slapping the face of the Jixia Academy is something many people want to do, but they lack the guts and cannot bear the consequences. Now that someone has stood up to slap their face, unafraid of death and stubborn as iron, even if they don't help, they must wave flags and shout to cheer and boost morale.
Chen Guanfu is already planning in his mind to take this opportunity to win over and divide people, in order to secure as much benefit as possible for the Hou Fu. He will be very, very busy over the next two days.
The most critical person is still Chen Guanlou.
"No matter how you fight with Master Qi or what trump cards you have, I only have one hope: don't die! You must preserve your own life. As long as you are alive, I will come forward on your behalf for everything else and secure enough benefits for you."
"I'll state this first: I am not getting promoted. I quite like the Heavenly Prison," Chen Guanlou said, stating his stance first.
The corners of Chen Guanfu's mouth twitched, and he looked helpless.
"Given your current situation, it wouldn't be appropriate even if you wanted to enter the officialdom. Your cultivation is too high; unless you are willing to eat the soldier's rice, the military camp would certainly welcome you."
"I'm not becoming a soldier."
He would have to be crazy to join the military.
Receiving money until his hands go soft every day, watching shows until he can't take it all in, getting off work on time every day, sleeping with different people at night—life is bubbling with beauty. He would have to be very depressed to run off and join the military. If he could endure the hardships of military life, why would he endure the hardships of living?
Chen Guanfu knew that Chen Guanlou was a man without ambition. Apart from practicing Wu Gong, he just guarded the Heavenly Prison stubbornly, refusing to budge even a single step.
He couldn't even be bothered to persuade him.
"If you won't get promoted, I'll give you other benefits. Land, manors, gold, silver, jewelry, beauties, a large mansion... just open your mouth for whatever you want. If you truly look down on those, I can also seek a post for you as an external military officer; you wouldn't need to train troops or suffer, just act as a display piece to deter the local riffraff. At the very least, it would start at the Fifth Rank."
"Forget it. I still prefer the Heavenly Prison!" Chen Guanlou was stubborn; he just liked the Heavenly Prison, liked that atmosphere, liked the excitement every few days, and liked the human customs of the capital.
Letting him go to the provinces to be a display piece is meaningless.
The capital gathers the most talented and intelligent group of people in the world, and the Heavenly Prison is where this group of talented and intelligent people are locked up. In the provinces, having one or two brilliant figures is already a rare blessing. Wanting groups of them, enough to fill a prison, is impossible.
He would be sick to abandon a mountain of treasure to go to the middle of nowhere to eat wind.
As for status and position, hehe, he doesn't rely on that stuff anymore.
If you were to say there were clues to cultivation in the provinces, it might be worth a trip. Just to go and be a display piece, there is no need.
Thinking it over, the chances of finding clues to cultivation are greater in the capital.
"As you wish! Shouldn't you settle one or two female attendants in your room? If you want a lady with status, I can help you with that too. I won't say how high her background would be, but at the very least, she would be the daughter of an official's family."
Chen Guanfu wanted to take care of Chen Guanlou as much as possible, whether you call it bestowing favor or winning him over. Since he wants to secure enough benefits from this matter, he must first win over the key person in the event. Between people, there must be give and take for the friendship to last.
"No need!" Chen Guanlou refused flatly. "I have no heart to consider starting a family right now."
Starting a family is nothing more than to have a son and carry on the family line.
He has already achieved longevity; what the hell is the point of having a son?
And he isn't lacking women.
Keeping two in the room, openly managing him, managing his spending, managing who he slept with tonight and who he sleeps with tomorrow, managing his belongings—managing everything—would be annoying to death. If he married, he would still have to buy maids and matrons to serve. With so many female attendants in the room, he would have to hire guards to watch them. A large group of servants would need stewards and housekeepers... and in the future, if children were born, he would have to add another large group of servants, repeating the cycle...
Just thinking about being surrounded by a group of people, having to spend money to support them, and even having to find ways to avoid these people when practicing Wu Gong, is even more annoying.
Having become accustomed to living alone, he cannot accept a group of people living under the same roof.
Chen Guanfu looked at him like this and didn't know what to say.
Forget it, forget it; he is just worrying for nothing.
"For the duel the day after tomorrow, if you need me to do anything, just open your mouth. Even if it's poison, I will get it for you."
"No need. I will fight the opponent openly and honestly; if I can't kill them, I'll beat them to death." Chen Guanlou was full of confidence; he couldn't wait to weigh the strength of a Ninth-Rank peak warrior.
