Chapter 116: My Old Ox Is About to Be Sold Today!

Ji Shisi's behavior was truly too normal, too natural.

Moreover, he looked just like an elderly mortal.

Yet how could such a person appear at Yashan, especially at Yashan at this time?

It had long since been set with various formations by many cultivators to prevent mortals from wandering in by mistake.

Ji Shisi was definitely not ordinary.

Knowing that these powerful figures more or less all had eccentricities, the shopkeeper didn't dare to look too much and hurriedly shifted his gaze away.

Yu Jiaojiao felt somewhat disappointed after hearing what was said.

But she still nodded.

"Alright then... if you need anything, Senior, you can find me at any time!"

She looked expectantly at Weisheng Yucheng again.

Weisheng Yucheng was, however, somewhat hesitant.

He looked at Lu Ren and sighed helplessly, "The little girl you brought really has given me a difficult problem."

"Forget it, then let's consider it as me accepting a favor from you."

Weisheng Yucheng easily grabbed the token on the tabletop, "I will accept it."

After putting it away, he immediately tossed an object to Yu Jiaojiao.

"Take this thing."

"If you have any needs in the future, you can use this to find me."

Yu Jiaojiao subconsciously lowered her head to look, but clenched her fist the moment she looked down.

There were many people here.

Feeling it was inconvenient to look, she immediately put the item back into her Storage Bag, used her divine sense to probe it, and then her eyes opened slightly in surprise.

"So you are..."

Weisheng Yucheng, however, gently covered her mouth with his fan.

His eyes were smiling.

"Cannot be said."

"Cannot be said."

Yu Jiaojiao hurriedly nodded, thoughtful, "I understand, thank you, Senior."

Xiao Zigui frowned slightly.

He had not expected that something he longed for would be pushed away like this.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that as long as he was given enough time, one day, there would also be people who would take the initiative to hold a token and offer it to him.

But at a time when he was still insignificant, seeing such powerful figures push away and refuse something he could not obtain still made him feel a bit stifled.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, shall we go up?"

He whispered a reminder to Qin Yuan beside him.

Called by him, Qin Yuan came back to his senses and immediately gave Xiao Zigui an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, Fellow Daoist Xiao, I was a bit distracted just now."

Although he said this, there was still a shadow in his heart.

That female cultivator just now... the name she used to address that man in white had already fallen into his heart.

Although she did not use the full name, only a surname, it made his heart especially uneasy.

Lu.

Do not blame him for being so sensitive to this surname.

Lu Ren was not a person who could put his mind at ease.

But that man in white's appearance was completely different from Lu Ren's, and the temperament he projected was also different.

Qin Yuan could only comfort himself in his heart that perhaps it was an illusion.

Lu Ren did not seem like someone who would hide his head and show his tail.

Even so, he still felt somewhat panicked and uneasy; frowning, he looked back every few steps as he prepared to go up with Xiao Zigui.

Yet he suddenly heard the man in white holding the folding fan say in a light tone: "Little Girl Yu, try this fruit."

"Sigh."

With a sigh, Yu Jiaojiao was slightly curious, gnawing on the Ling Fruit Weisheng Yucheng gave her, "What is wrong, Senior? Why did you suddenly sigh?"

Weisheng Yucheng shook his folding fan and shook his head casually.

"It is not really a sigh, I just pity my old ox, still having to be squeezed in the stable." "Old ox?" Yu Jiaojiao asked curiously, "Is it a Spirit Beast?"

Before Weisheng Yucheng could speak, he saw Lu Ren's expression, which was neither a smile nor a frown.

He touched his nose, feeling slightly innocent. What's wrong? What's wrong? He had no intention of luring a little girl.

It was just taking the initiative to get someone on the hook.

However, before he could say the draft he had already prepared, he saw a shadow cast from the side.

Helian Qinghe bit her lower lip, looking weak and helpless, "This Senior... I shouldn't have listened to your conversation, but I heard it unintentionally, you... there is an ox in the stable, is it yours?"

She had already walked to Weisheng Yucheng's side at some point.

Qin Yuan subconsciously frowned.

For some reason, he always had a bad premonition.

Because Helian Qinghe interrupted him, Weisheng Yucheng's expression turned slightly cold, but he did not lash out.

He looked like a person who was easy to talk to, but in reality, he was not.

To take a step back.

Among those who can be friends with Lu Ren, how many can truly be considered good people?

But he has indeed always been a "good old fellow."

A smile appeared on Weisheng Yucheng's face several times, yet it did not reach his eyes, "Is it mine? Perhaps it is. What business does this fellow Daoist have?"

Calling her a fellow Daoist was truly elevating Helian Qinghe.

But Weisheng Yucheng was hiding his strength, and Helian Qinghe could not discern his true power.

She seemed to heave a sigh of relief, yet also appeared somewhat hesitant, and asked softly and sincerely, "I truly dare not disturb you, Senior, but I have a presumptuous request."

"Senior, the moment I encountered that ox Spirit Beast, I felt joy in my heart; it must be fate."

I am Helian Qinghe of the Helian family, from the Tianheng Sect; if you could gift it to me, I would certainly ensure that ox does not suffer."

"I wonder if you, Senior, would be willing to part with it?"

"That ox... is truly in quite a sorry state, and I cannot bear to see it."

Helian Qinghe spoke with genuine sincerity.

Yet, if the person before her were someone of the same cultivation realm, it would be fine; however, sitting before her was the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, Weisheng Yucheng.

A hypocrite who always liked to present himself as a good old fellow, but was by no means a good person, and was especially adept at scheming.

He heard Helian Qinghe's words, and the coldness in his eyes became increasingly obvious, but he did not lash out; instead, he laughed.

"Very well, since you like that old ox so much, it is naturally not impossible for me to part with it."

Helian Qinghe had not expected things to go so smoothly.

She was instantly overjoyed.

She hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Senior!"

"Helian Qinghe will always remember your kindness, Senior!"

"No need," Weisheng Yucheng raised his hand to stop her, "You may come with me; as long as you can move him, do as you please, I will not say another word."

After hearing this, Helian Qinghe frowned slightly, but she did not say much more and simply nodded.

"That is indeed how it should be."

This was an unexpected turn of events, and Xiao Zigui looked at Helian Qinghe with eyes full of heartache.

The woman he loved was just that kind-hearted.

It was truly pitiable.

Qin Yuan was rather curious about the ox Helian Qinghe spoke of, and since he had nothing else to do, he followed along.

Naturally.

Lu Ren did not miss this opportunity.

Upon arriving at the stable, Weisheng Yucheng saw the old ox lowering its head in depression, picking at Ling Grass, and he could not help but laugh out loud.

He walked over, "Old ox, oh old ox, your good days have finally arrived."

"This female cultivator intends to buy you and take you away!"

The old ox, still chewing Ling Grass, looked up in confusion: Moo? What happened?!

Am I, the old ox, being sold today?!
