Chapter 931: What Do You Mean?

By the side of the small lake, under the snow pines, Cui Zhengxing held a freshly boiled red clay pot and poured snow water into two new cups; instantly, the fragrance of tea overflowed.

He waved lightly, and the two cups of tea arrived before Little Wei Yuan and Zhang Sheng, saying: "These snow-peak pine needles of mine are also rare; drinking them helps consolidate the foundation and improve comprehension. You two should try it."

At this time, Little Wei Yuan and Zhang Sheng were sitting in front of Cui Zhengxing. Little Wei Yuan heard the four words "consolidate the foundation" for Zhang Sheng. Little Wei Yuan heard the words "improve comprehension" for himself. Things played with by immortals were indeed not common goods.

Little Wei Yuan was not polite, drank it in one gulp after receiving the tea, felt his mind clear, and said: "Thank you, Tinghai Xianjun."

Zhang Sheng also drank it in one gulp, but did not speak, signaling Little Wei Yuan to talk.

Cui Zhengxing said: "Wanyi had many disasters when she was young, and her mother died for me; I have always felt guilty, and I couldn't help but spoil her, which resulted in her current personality of not knowing the height of heaven and earth and acting willfully. If Wanyi dies, it will be a hindrance to my Dao heart, so I want to save her life."

This sounded like it was the case, so Little Wei Yuan didn't speak, continuing to wait for the immortal to name his price. Since Tinghai Xianjun Cui came to talk in person, the price shouldn't be too bad.

Cui Zhengxing sighed lightly and said: "Chengxiao and Wanyi privately gave the immortal medicine promised to Cui Yu to Lianxi, and then used the luck of the new city to complete Lianxi's foundation, and then seized Cui Yu's position as city lord. By the time I knew, the matter had already become uncontrollable, and the battle had already been fought. But you can rest assured, I am a dignified immortal, and I will naturally not owe a junior an immortal medicine. It's just that the immortal medicine is hard to come by, and I am still two medicinal materials short of reopening the furnace; it will take about a year or so before there will be another seven pills. This needs to wait a bit."

Little Wei Yuan said: "Tinghai Xianjun is overthinking; I already have another way for Brother Cui's Dao path, so that immortal medicine is no longer necessary, so Tinghai Xianjun doesn't need to bother."

Cui Zhengxing was startled and said: "You have such a wonderful method?"

"Just a coincidence." Then Little Wei Yuan stopped talking. The second half of the sentence he didn't say was "Since the agreement is void, please ask the Cui family to pull out the boundary stone and leave." Little Wei Yuan believed that Cui Zhengxing understood this subtext, and it just depended on what price could be given to recover it.

Cui Zhengxing drank the tea in the cup slowly, and when he put down the teacup, he already had a plan, saying: "'Wood Armor' is quite compatible with Qingming, and the location where Chengxiao and the others placed the boundary stone is also a bit inappropriate; there will be conflicts sooner or later. Since that's the case, why not let the Wood Armor boundary stone be affiliated with Qingming as a sub-stone of Qingming? The new city still belongs to Song Cui, and all military supplies and materials will be purchased directly from Qingming from now on. But from now on, half of all tax revenue and luck of the entire Wood Armor boundary domain will be shared with Qingming; how about that?"

This time it was Little Wei Yuan's turn to be shocked. This condition was too good, so good that Little Wei Yuan didn't dare to think about it before. Now the battle was fought by Song Cui, the people were theirs to die, and in the end, Qingming shared half of all the harvest, and Wood Armor itself became a sub-stone of Qingming, which eliminated future troubles.

Little Wei Yuan made a prompt decision, bowed, and said: "Thank you, Tinghai Xianjun! Tinghai Xianjun is generous!"

Cui Zhengxing nodded, a wisp of snow water flew out of the red clay pot and fell into the earth below, then said: "Three days later, Wood Armor will begin to merge into Qingming, and the fusion will be completed in eighty-one days. If there is nothing else, I will go."

Little Wei Yuan stood up and bowed again, his attitude respectful and his voice sincere, saying: "Respectfully send off the Tinghai Xianjun."

Before leaving, Cui Zhengxing seemed to want to say something to Zhang Sheng, but in the end, he said nothing and disappeared.

In the Cui family's new city, the city lord's mansion was oppressive; all the servants didn't even dare to breathe, and no one whispered. Tinghai Xianjun Ancestor was in the mansion at this moment, and anything that happened in every corner of the city could not be hidden from the Immortal Ancestor; whoever dared to chew tongues behind their backs was looking for their own death.

In the main hall, Cui Chengxiao and Cui Wanyi stood before the Immortal Ancestor, both with expressions of disbelief. Cui Wanyi couldn't help it anymore and said: "How could you agree to such conditions?! If you ask me..."

With a slap, a wisp of immortal energy appeared out of thin air and slapped Cui Wanyi's face fiercely! Her face, which couldn't tell her age at all, swelled up rapidly, and the corners of her eyes and mouth were broken.

Cui Wanyi covered her face, simply unable to believe it. She wanted to be hysterical, but discovered that she couldn't even make a sound; her mouth had been sealed by immortal power.

Cui Wanyi covered her face, simply unable to believe it. She wanted to be hysterical, but she discovered she could not even make a sound; her mouth had already been sealed by immortal power.

Two maids came up and dragged away the desperately struggling Cui Wanyi.

After the room was quiet again, Cui Zhengxing said: "Do you know why I agreed to such conditions?"

Cui Chengxiao said honestly: "I really don't know. Even if Little Wei Yuan and Zhang Sheng were allowed to speak freely, I think they wouldn't dare to ask for such conditions."

Cui Zhengxing said: "Originally I didn't want to either, but it was only after looking at that series of defeats of yours that I made up my mind. In today's decisive battle, let alone that Wanyi was originally going to die, even if she could win against Zhang Sheng, I would have to make a move in secret to make her lose this game."

Cui Chengxiao was truly shocked this time and said: "Why is this?"

Cui Zhengxing said: "The cultivation method of my Cui family is different from Xu Wangu's; the Song State is the Cui family, and the Cui family is the Song State. The family and the country are different in name, but one in reality. If the Song State is strong, I am strong; if the country is weak, I am weak. In the past hundred years, the situation in the Song State has been excellent, with singing and dancing everywhere, the people living and working in peace and contentment, the literary world flourishing, and famous scholars emerging one after another.

It stands to reason that this is a scene of revival, but my cultivation has not risen but fallen. I couldn't figure it out, but after looking at that series of defeats of yours, I finally understood. Fifty thousand elite troops, squeezed into a long snake formation by five thousand people from Qingming, and then killed from beginning to end! Six or seven thousand people died from trampling on each other, simply a rout! And then the two main generals were amazing: one was incompetent in command and only knew how to kill his own soldiers to vent his anger. The other only cared about fighting with magic, and when defeated, he just walked away!" ===== CHAPTER 932 =====

"Logically speaking, this is a scene of restoration, yet my cultivation base has not risen but fallen instead. I could not fathom why, but after seeing that string of your disastrous defeats, I finally understood. Fifty thousand elite troops, squeezed into a long snake formation by five thousand men from Azure Void, and then slaughtered from head to tail! Six or seven thousand people died just from trampling each other; it was simply a total collapse! And then the two commanding generals were truly impressive: one was incompetent in command and only knew how to wantonly kill his own soldiers to vent his anger. The other only cared about his own magical duels and simply fled when the rout began!"
