Chapter Sixty-Four: It is impolite not to reciprocate.
"No!" Zhuo Yang refused decisively.
The Dragon Court is definitely an organization used by the state to manage cultivators. Although it has the name of a trading company that sells everything, anyone who believes that they are really a group of businessmen is a fool.
The auction must have something that the Dragon Court needs, but they don't have the manpower to carry out the mission, so they are looking for help.
"I knew you didn't want to go." Zhou Hanxiao said nonchalantly, lighting a cigarette and tossing the lighter and cigarette pack over.
Zhuo Yang took the cigarette, lit it, and stuffed the pack into his pocket.
Zhou Hanxiao's eyebrows twitched: "You're like a greedy creature, you won't even let go of the benefits of a pack of cigarettes. Yan Xiao deserved to have his Fire Fan stolen from him for offending you. I dare say he'll be robbed by you again next time he sees you!"
Zhuo Yang shrugged indifferently and smiled, "Is there anything else?"
Zhou Hanxiao gave a wry smile, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "You really don't want to go see that auction? I heard that a group of foreigners formed a treasure hunting team. They conquered a secret realm, obtained a lot of treasures, and are planning to auction off some of them."
"Not interested," Zhuo Yang replied indifferently.
“I’ll pay you a high price to hire you.” Zhou Hanxiao exhaled another puff of smoke. “You probably don’t care about money, but you’ll definitely like rare and precious materials that can be used to refine top-quality pills.”
"Tell me about it," Zhuo Yang said with a smile.
I don't want to get involved in Longting's affairs, but Longting's background is definitely not that of a company. Maintaining a good relationship with them is essential. The path of cultivation is long, and having more friends means having more options.
Zhou Hanxiao gave Zhuo Yang a deep look: "Half a month ago, a few cultivators discovered a secret passage leading underground from an ancient tomb in the north, which actually connects to another secret realm. The heat there is overwhelming, and cultivators below the Heart Movement stage simply cannot withstand it."
"We sent several people to investigate, and the results were unacceptable; not a single one of them managed to escape from the secret realm. According to research by the senior management within the Dragon Court, that secret realm may very well contain the legendary Heavenly Blooming Fire Lotus."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yang's brow twitched slightly.
The Heavenly Fire Lotus is definitely a good thing. In terms of rarity alone, it is no less than the Ten Thousand Year Cold Spring. It is an excellent treasure for refining pills, setting up formations, and even tempering fire-attribute magic weapons.
"If you really had something good, your Dragon Court would have sent experts long ago. How could it be my turn?" Zhuo Yang looked at Zhou Hanxiao with disdain.
“No, you’re mistaken.” Zhou Hanxiao shook his head, his face solemn. “Dragon Court wasn’t established just a few months ago. The old guys who set up the company have long since gone into seclusion. Now, the entire company has so few Golden Core stage experts that you can count them on one hand.”
"Last time I told you about forming an expedition team, the target was that secret realm, but unfortunately no one escaped, so we don't know what's inside."
Zhuo Yang shook his head again: "I have a lot of things to do, I really don't have time to go on any cruise ships."
The Fu family has already guessed that they're right at Zhuo Yang's doorstep. If he doesn't retaliate, it's definitely not in Zhuo Yang's style.
Zhou Hanxiao suddenly chuckled: "You're preparing to deal with the Fu family, aren't you?"
Zhuo Yang's brows furrowed immediately. He thought to himself, "Did Long Ting's intelligence discover that the Fu family sent people to deal with me, or did Zhou Hanxiao figure it out herself?"
His face darkened, and he asked, "Does the Dragon Court intend to stop me?"
You shouldn't ask questions you shouldn't ask, or the other person will see through your bottom line and try to test it.
"No." Zhou Hanxiao shrugged. "We're in business. As long as cultivators don't affect the lives of ordinary people, we won't care if you break the heavens."
Zhuo Yang remained silent, his gaze fixed on Zhou Hanxiao.
“The Fu family has hidden power, a power that even Long Ting cannot fathom. If you rashly attack the Fu family’s gates, you will be ambushed,” Zhou Han said in a low voice, pretending to smoke.
He secretly did Zhuo Yang a favor, which was considered a violation of the Dragon Court's rule: not to participate in the battles between cultivators.
“Thank you for reminding me,” Zhuo Yang said gratefully, “but I still don’t plan to go on that cruise ship because it doesn’t have what I’m looking for.”
"Alright, I've given you both the news. It's up to you whether you go or not!" Zhou Hanxiao stretched and walked away, looking relaxed, a cigarette dangling from her lips.
Once he was out of sight, Zhuo Yang cursed angrily, "Damn it, that guy deliberately piqued my curiosity!"
The underground secret realm and the cruise ship filled with rare and precious materials were both very attractive to Zhuo Yang.
Because he was worried that Zhou Hanxiao would dig a big pit for him to jump into, he didn't go. But Zhou Hanxiao made it clear that he had dug two big pits for him, and it was up to him whether to jump or not!
What a damn conspiracy!
Zhuo Yang was quite annoyed.
Back at the villa, Huang Jiaxin had already been brought back by Xiao Hei. Xiao Diao, who had a limp, was squatting on the bed feeding her water.
The pitiful sight of the man and the sable made Zhuo Yang frown.
"Go find the Rejuvenation Pill yourself and rest for a few days. Don't pretend to be pitiful and ask me to give you the Cold Spring Pill. It won't help your injury!" Zhuo Yang chased the little rascal away and personally fed Huang Jiaxin water.
Treat your own people with the warmth of spring.
With a casual toss, Yuan Chen tossed his storage ring to Xiao Diao, asking her to keep it for the time being.
Huang Jiaxin suffered a serious internal injury and needed proper care. Zhuo Yang simply rolled up his sleeves and gave her an electric massage, his large hands covered in sparks as he massaged her back.
The effect was good; the girl's face regained color, becoming rosy and flushed, and she no longer looked like she was afraid to be seen by anyone.
Zhuo Yang was very satisfied and brought Xiao Diao over as well, giving him the same electric massage.
Little Diao screamed like a pig being slaughtered...
After quickly treating their injuries, Zhuo Yang took Xiao Diao and called Xiao Hei outside the villa.
"I had Jiaxin store some food and water in the cave. Is everything alright?" Zhuo Yang asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Diao immediately took out a writing board and communicated with Xiao Hei. She wrote: "Master, there is no problem with food and water. They are hidden in the deepest part of the cave and can meet the needs of five mortals for a week."
Zhuo Yang frowned and said, "It's not enough, far from enough. If the enemy breaks through the formation and can't find anyone, they will definitely leave an ambush for us to come out. You all wait at home. I will have someone send over a storage of food and water in a while. Xiao Hei will be responsible for transporting it into the cave."
Little Black nodded his big head in agreement.
Little Diao paused for a moment, then wrote with a serious expression, "Master, is a powerful enemy attacking?"
Zhuo Yang shook his head: "Not necessarily, but we must do a good job of prevention. In case a powerful enemy comes, we won't starve to death in the cave!"
Little Diao understood and wrote again: "Master, rest assured, we will always stand by your side and advance and retreat together!"
"You're so good with words!" Zhuo Yang patted her head, then dialed Dongfang Jiye's mobile phone number.
A dozen minutes later, the roar of a helicopter could be heard in the sky. Dongfang Jiye and Ke'er moved into Villa No. 101.
After settling in, Zhuo Yang called Dongfang Jiye outside and said in a deep voice, "Old Dong, without further ado, I'm going to the Fu family. It's only polite to return the favor, so I'll go tonight. Don't stop me. Just protect Ke'er. After I leave, you all immediately follow Xiao Diao and hide in the cave!"
After saying that, he leaped into the air and disappeared into the night in a few bounds.
Looking in the direction where Zhuo Yang disappeared, Dongfang Jiye shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Was it right or wrong for me to lead the Dongfang family into the cultivation world?"
"My surname is Dongfang, not Dong..."
