Chapter 157: Sowing Discord

You beast, wait, you dare to treat me like this? After I properly entertain that paper Daoist, just see how I'll deal with you when I come back, you beast!

Hu Jiushisan shouted angrily, staring deeply at Niuda, as if preparing to intimidate Niuda with his gaze.

The only thing that disappointed it was……

No matter how it tried to intimidate, it ultimately couldn't scare Niuda.

It could only unwillingly walk toward the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray that was about to land.

It swore that, after properly entertaining Wang Ping'an and obtaining a large number of talismans from him, when it returned, Niuda would certainly not get off easy.

Zhu Wu watched Hu Jiushisan's retreating back, his face full of a bitter smile, and said: "Niu Ge, you've offended Hu Ge like this—aren't you afraid Hu Ge will deal with you?"

"I'm afraid it will deal with me?"

Niuda gave a cold sneer, his face full of sarcasm.

Of course.

There was still something it didn't say out loud: even if it didn't seek a chance to retaliate against Hu Jiushisan, given Hu Jiushisan's beastly nature,

Unless it completely bows its head before Hu Jiushisan, that beast will inevitably find an opportunity to deal with it.

Yesterday's experience, Hu Jiushisan found an opportunity, gave it a brutal beating, letting that beast vent its foul anger.

That's clear proof!

Zhu Wu advised: "Niu Ge, we still shouldn't fall out with Hu Ge; we're still counting on Hu Ge to buy and sell talismans for profit. If you utterly offend Hu Ge, watch out—he might kick both of us out!"

"If he dares to kick us out, then it's a fight to the death!"

Niuda gave a cold sneer; seeing Zhu Wu open his mouth, he knew what he would say without waiting for the words, and said expressionlessly:

"Alright, Wu Zi, no matter what, I will never bow my head before it!"

"Niu Ge... sigh!"

Zhu Wu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Niuda's appearance, he knew whatever he said would be useless; the words on his lips turned into a sigh, and he said:

"Niu Ge, no matter what, over these many years you've helped me a lot; if you need anything, just speak up—I will always stand by your side!"

While speaking, a flicker of secret joy flashed in the depths of Zhu Wu's eyes and then vanished.

It truly feared that Niuda would bow his head before Hu Jiushisan; if Niuda did so, given Hu Jiushisan's temperament, he might not necessarily suppress Niuda's interests in the talisman business.

But he would definitely suppress its interests in the talisman business!

So.

Even if Niuda truly prepared to bow his head before Hu Jiushisan, it would deliberately seek an opportunity to create conflict.

"Hello, fellow Daoist, we only met yesterday; I didn't expect you to come to our market again today—welcome!"

Hu Jiushisan waited for Wang Ping'an to dismount from the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray's back, then immediately went up to him, his face full of a fawning smile, and said enthusiastically:

"I don't know what you need me to do, fellow Daoist—just give your orders; I will certainly help you with all my strength, even if it means climbing knives and plunging into fire seas, I will not shirk, and I guarantee not to disappoint you, fellow Daoist!"

Wang Ping'an said nothing; just as Hu Jiushisan was feeling a bit disappointed and preparing to change the topic, he saw Wang Ping'an suddenly produce two stacks of talismans.

Hu Jiushisan was first stunned, then reacted; looking at the talismans Wang Ping'an produced, his eyes burned with fervor, he couldn't help swallowing, and said: "Fellow Daoist, are you wanting to sell these talismans to me?"

While speaking, Hu Jiushisan doubted whether he was dreaming, couldn't help pinching his arm; the burning pain instantly woke him up.

But upon seeing the talismans Wang Ping'an handed over again, Hu Jiushisan couldn't help trembling all over, his face full of excitement.

Although.

Having had the previous experience, Wang Ping'an sold over a hundred talismans to it; relying on those hundred-plus talismans, it earned several tens of low-grade spirit stones. It deeply looked forward to another transaction.

But when it came time to experience it again, it hadn't even gotten a chance to perform before Wang Ping'an directly produced two stacks of talismans, giving it a dreamlike feeling.

Wang Ping'an nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, please excuse me; I'll first count them, and once the number is confirmed, I'll immediately give you the low-grade spirit stones at market price!"

Hu Jiushisan suppressed his inner excitement, eagerly took the talismans Wang Ping'an handed over, counted them carefully, and indeed there were two hundred.

Two hundred talismans were enough for it to earn another hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Hu Jiushisan exclaimed excitedly: "Fellow Daoist, wait—I'll give you those two hundred low-grade spirit stones right now!"

Having said that.

Hu Jiushisan put away the two hundred talismans, his mind stirring, just as he was about to hand over the two hundred low-grade spirit stones to Wang Ping'an, he saw Wang Ping'an produce another two stacks of talismans, couldn't help exclaiming in shock, his face full of astonishment.

"This, this, this……"

Before Hu Jiushisan could finish speaking, shouts from Niuda and Zhu Wu were heard not far away.

This novel you have arrived at

"What's going on?"

Niuda and Zhu Wu, just having run up to Hu Jiushisan and Wang Ping'an, had their eyes instantly drawn to the two stacks of talismans Wang Ping'an held out; they swallowed, suppressed their inner excitement, and said excitedly:

"Paper Daoist—no, fellow Daoist, with so many talismans, are you going to sell them all?"

Wang Ping'an nodded.

Niuda urged impatiently: "Jiushisan, what are you still staring at? Hurry up and trade, don't waste the fellow Daoist's time—you don't know how precious his time is; it's not your trash time you can squander at will!"

It hadn't forgotten that yesterday, after Hu Jiushisan sold the talismans Wang Ping'an had traded to it, it earned over seventy low-grade spirit stones.

That's several months of his salary!

Moreover.

According to Hu Jiushisan's words, if he hadn't sold the talismans cheaply to the clan's shop but instead sold them to others, he could have earned even more money.

Let alone earning over seventy low-grade spirit stones; even earning over a hundred would be no problem.

As for this, it was quite envious; now it finally gets a turn to make money, although it still has to share with Hu Jiushisan and Niuda.

But it absolutely does not want to waste time!

The sooner it purchases Wang Ping'an's talismans, the sooner it can sell them to others and obtain a large amount of low-grade spirit stones.

"I'm the squad leader, or are you the squad leader—do you really need to urge me here?"

Hu Jiushisan snorted discontentedly, not hastily taking the talisman Wang Ping'an handed over, but instead handed over the cloth bag filled with low-grade spirit stones, saying ingratiatingly:

"Fellow Daoist, this bag contains two hundred low-grade spirit stones; you can inspect it!"

After speaking, Hu Jiushisan saw that Wang Ping'an was unable to take the bag he had handed out, so he placed the talisman at Wang Ping'an's feet, and only then did he take the talisman Wang Ping'an had handed over.

"How does Jiushisan know that this fellow Daoist's handed-over talisman is two hundred sheets?"

Niuda asked, puzzled.

Zhu Wu opened his mouth, about to explain for Hu Jiushisan, but seeing Hu Jiushisan earnestly counting the talismans, not seeming to know, he guessed the number of talismans Wang Ping'an had taken out and speculated:

"Could it be that this fellow Daoist previously sold a batch of talismans to Brother Hu?"
