Chapter 38 I'm sorry, Young Sect Master, it's all his fault for giving too much.
Day two.
Li Wudao was stopped again as soon as he arrived at the foot of Xuantian Peak.
"Senior brothers, didn't I come here last time?"
Looking at the two men with fierce eyes, Li Wudao said with a headache, "Junior Sister Jiang and I are old acquaintances. I have important business with her. Please make an exception for me."
"This is the main peak. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Please leave."
"Don't make things difficult for us. This is the young sect leader's rule, and we cannot let you in under any circumstances."
The two guards spoke with a firm tone.
"Damn it, is that so-called young sect leader deliberately trying to disgust me?"
Li Wudao's lips twitched slightly.
He recalled the last time he saw Wu Shaotian, how attentive the latter was to Jiang Churan, and how he subtly criticized him while praising him openly.
It was obvious that this young sect leader had also taken a liking to Jiang Churan.
Whether or not they considered him an obstacle or an opponent remains unknown.
Li Wudao felt somewhat frustrated; it would be too embarrassing if he couldn't even get into the mountain gate.
But no matter how much he pleaded,
The two guards refused to let him in no matter what, their refusal was beyond question.
"You'd better leave quickly, or you'll be in big trouble if the young sect leader sees you."
The two guards spoke coldly and were about to step forward to drive them away.
at this time,
Li Wudao waved his hand and produced twenty low-grade spirit stones out of thin air.
Upon seeing this, the two gatekeepers stopped, their expressions serious.
"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to bribe us?"
"Junior brother, you're underestimating us. We're not the type to do such a thing. You've misjudged us!"
The two spoke back and forth, their words resounding and their expressions as firm as metal and stone.
Without wasting words, Li Wudao flipped his hand and took out another hundred low-grade spirit stones, which he then threw at his feet.
"this......"
The two men's eyes narrowed slightly, their tone hesitant, as if they were somewhat tempted.
Although they are gatekeeper disciples, their salaries are comparable to those of inner disciples, amounting to fifty low-grade spirit stones per month.
The spirit stones that this young man casually took out were worth a month's salary, even if split equally.
Li Wudao observed their reactions and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The next moment, he took out another two hundred low-grade spirit stones and threw them at his feet.
More than three hundred spirit stones were piled up in a small heap, sparkling and full of spiritual energy, making them very eye-catching.
Instantly.
The pupils of the two gatekeeper disciples contracted slightly, their eyes flashing with intense shock and greed.
"Hehe, you have a really good eye for people!"
"I'm sorry, junior brother. We were too hasty and didn't recognize you. Please come in!"
The two turned on each other faster than turning the pages of a book, quickly putting away their weapons and making way for each other.
One of them rubbed his hands together, his smile as bright as a chrysanthemum, while the other was practically drooling as he quickly bent down to pick up the spirit stones from the ground.
It makes people laugh when they think about it.
Li Wudao didn't waste any words during this process.
Because everything is self-evident, the spirit stone will speak for him.
In his previous life, as an outstanding investment expert, he had long understood the essence of human nature.
No one has trouble with money.
If so, it just means the chips are far from enough.
"Then thank you very much, senior brothers. I hope I haven't caused you any trouble?"
Li Wudao revealed a professional smile.
"No, no, junior brother, please go in quickly."
The two guards shook their heads vigorously, their faces beaming with smiles.
Li Wudao nodded.
He glanced at the two people dividing the spirit stones, shook his head, and walked into the mountain gate.
These spirit stones were insignificant to him, but to them, they represented a huge sum of money that could not be ignored.
It's hard for anyone to resist temptation.
Moreover, he could also come up with five hundred or a thousand spirit stones, which would surely break down their psychological defenses.
Li Wudao took out a communication jade slip and searched for the location based on the aura.
After a stick of incense.
After wandering around for a while, he arrived at an exquisite palace.
The signboard has a large, eye-catching gold-plated character.
ginger--
Li Wudao saw the character from afar and immediately understood.
No doubt about it, this should be Xiao Jiang's palace.
It must be said that Jiang Churan received extremely high treatment.
It should be noted that ordinary disciples can only own a small mansion.
Jiang Churan, however, guarded a small peak all by herself.
This palace alone covers at least a hundred acres, with red walls and green tiles, stretching as far as the eye can see.
"My goodness, so extravagant!"
Li Wudao was astonished as he watched.
The palace is exquisitely decorated and exudes a sense of grandeur; if it were several times larger, it would truly rival an ancient imperial palace.
He was filled with emotions.
Is this the personal disciple of the headmaster of a first-class sect?
The treatment was truly extraordinary!
Li Wudao, filled with a touch of envy, strolled along the path to the palace gate.
Two dignified-looking maids stood on either side of the door.
He stepped forward and explained his purpose, "I have an appointment with Junior Sister Jiang, please inform her."
The maid dared not delay and said, "Young master, please wait a moment. Miss is currently meeting with the young sect leader. I will go in and ask her right away."
After the maid left,
Li Wudao's eyes flashed slightly as he approached another maid and casually slipped her a small bag of spirit stones.
"Does this young sect leader come to see Junior Sister Jiang every day?"
"He comes to visit Miss every now and then, but Miss always refuses him. Today, I was really annoyed by his persistence, so I reluctantly let him in. It's been almost fifteen minutes."
The maid accepted the spirit stones without batting an eye, becoming even more friendly and explaining everything clearly.
Li Wudao seemed to be deep in thought.
It seems that Wu Shaotian has really set his sights on Jiang Churan.
"Squeak-"
Suddenly, the palace doors opened, and three figures walked out one after another.
The maid who had walked ahead stood cautiously by the door, pointing at Li Wudao.
Jiang Churan and Wu Shaotian walked out one after the other.
Both of them stared at the boy, their expressions differing.
"Junior Brother Li, we meet again. It's been a few days, and you're even more charming than before."
Wu Shaotian narrowed his eyes slightly and forced a smile.
"Young Sect Master is too kind. I am far inferior to you."
Li Wudao smiled faintly, his words perfectly tactful.
The two exchanged a few words of flattery, which were all meaningless nonsense.
The atmosphere was a little quiet for a moment.
"Well, I have to go first, Junior Sister Jiang... I'll bother you again next time."
Wu Shaotian felt somewhat embarrassed and gave Li Wudao a deep look before leaving.
After it has gone far away,
Li Wudao glanced at Jiang Churan's delicate face and teased:
"Little Jiang, the way the young sect leader looked at you just now was a bit strange. He's probably taken a liking to you."
The girl glanced back indifferently, surprisingly offering no rebuttal.
She paused for a moment, then said quietly, "This man is quite shrewd and calculating; he is not someone to be trifled with. You'd better not provoke him now."
Li Wudao remained noncommittal, his heart sinking slightly.
I'm afraid that even if he doesn't provoke Wu Shaotian, the other party won't let him off easily.
With his enhanced comprehension, he was particularly sensitive to the world around him, and he had just vaguely sensed the hostility emanating from the other party.
That final glance before parting felt more like a warning...
The atmosphere somber once again.
The two maids lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.
"If all else fails, Xiao Jiang, just give in to him. That way, you won't get caught in the crossfire. I'm innocent!"
Li Wudao, shameless as ever, stirred up trouble from the sidelines.
"I think you've had enough of living. If you want to die, I can grant your wish!"
Jiang Churan's eyes immediately turned cold and sharp, and she glared at him fiercely.
She knew Wu Shaotian all too well from her past life; he and Qi Xingyu were birds of a feather.
Even worse.
As the young sect leader, he appears to be a virtuous and magnanimous gentleman on the surface; however, he often does despicable and treacherous things behind the scenes.
She had unexpectedly discovered that the other party was practicing forbidden techniques left behind by the demon race, and she also secretly witnessed the entire process of Wu Shaotian harming many fellow disciples and seizing secret techniques and treasures.
This is a personality with extreme contrasts; selfish and self-serving, willing to use any means to achieve their goals, which is extremely frightening.
How could such a person become Empress Qingyao's Daoist partner?
"Wrong, wrong..."
Seeing that the girl was really angry, Li Wudao immediately backed down, demonstrating his ability to be both flexible and assertive.
"Hmph, if there's a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Jiang Churan snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the palace, leaving behind a cold and aloof figure.
"Why don't you hurry up and catch up!"
Seeing Li Wudao standing there dumbfounded,
She stopped and turned her head, her brows furrowing slightly. "What, you don't want to practice swordsmanship anymore?"
"Coming, coming~"
The boy laughed and followed after him eagerly.
The two maids looked at each other, their eyes filled with curiosity, their minds wandering.
As the young sect leader, Wu Shaotian's status was extremely noble.
However, he has been repeatedly turned away when trying to see his young mistress. It was only by chance that he was able to enter the door today. It's hard to say what will happen next time.
But this young man surnamed Li, whom no one had ever heard of, was able to enter the house on his first visit.
Moreover, judging from their attitudes, the young lady and the young man seem to be quite familiar with each other, which is rather intriguing.
at the same time.
At the foot of Xuantian Peak.
The two guards were looking dejected with their heads down.
In front of the two men, Wu Shaotian, his face dark, launched into a tirade of abuse.
"You two good-for-nothings! I've said it several times, no matter what, we can't let that brat in. Are you deaf?"
After saying that, he gave the two of them a big slap.
"It really pisses me off!"
He paced back and forth in anger, feeling extremely frustrated at the thought of Li Wudao being able to enter so easily.
The two guards seemed to be used to it, silently enduring Wu Shaotian's anger, their expressions not particularly unpleasant.
They could tell which was more worthwhile: three hundred spirit stones or a mere physical ordeal.
On the surface, the two expressed remorse and admitted their mistakes, but inwardly they were both complaining.
We're sorry, Young Sect Master, we didn't agree at first either, it's all his fault for offering too much.
