Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2243: Showing Goodwill

Zhao Hai was in his room, not needing to prepare anything. Although the Forbidden Path Sect was one of the Great Sects of the True Spirit Realm, Zhao Hai has the confidence to enter it.

Zhao Hai was now conversing with Laura through the Space. He’s currently telling her about the situation in Demonheart City as well as the contradictions between Liu Zhen and Yu Linfeng’s group. To be honest, Zhao Hai didn’t take their feud too seriously. Liu Zhen was already very popular in the Blood Knife Gang. And with the support of several other hall masters, Liu Zhen holding the greatest power in the gang was just a matter of time.

Liu Zhen also had the name of justice in his hands. Even if Zhao Hai didn’t join the Forbidden Path Sect, Liu Zhen can still easily deal with Yu Linfeng and the others. It was practically impossible for Yu Linfeng and the others to defeat Liu Zhen.

Zhao Hai had just broken contact with Laura when a knock was heard from the gate of his courtyard. Then Yu Linfeng’s voice was heard, “Is Zhao Ling in? This is Yu Linfeng. I came for a visit.”

Zhao Hai quickly replied, “So it is Hall Master Yu. Please come in.” As he said that, he walked out of his room and opened the gate.

When he opened the gate, Zhao Hai saw three people standing outside. Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, “I have seen the Hall Master Yu, Hall Master Chen, and Hall Master Lie.”

Yu Linfeng smiled faintly and said, “Zhao Ling, we came uninvited. I hope you aren’t offended.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “You three are distinguished guests, I’m deeply honored that you came. Hall Masters, please come in and sit down.” The three smiled faintly and cupped their fists to Zhao Hai before following him inside.

After the three sat down, Zhao Hai steeped a pot of tea and gave each person a cup. After serving tea, Zhao Hai said, “Hall Masters, may I ask why you came to visit?”

Yu Linfeng smiled and said, “It has been some time since you joined the Blood Knife Gang, but we haven’t properly introduced ourselves. So, we came here specifically to get to know each other more.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “I only joined recently. But during this period of time, a lot of things happened in the gang. The gang is undergoing drastic changes. Everyone has a lot of things in their hands. I was supposed to greet you myself, I didn’t expect you would come to me first. I’m embarrassed.”

Yu Linfeng laughed, then he waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about that. Although you have been in the Blood Knife Gang for a short time, all of us are aware of all that you’ve contributed. You have been busy, it’s natural that you won’t have time to see us. How could we blame you?”

Chen Feng also smiled and said, “Your ability has already been seen by everyone. There’s a reason why the Gang Master likes you so much. We are also impressed by your abilities.”

Liu Xing also nodded, “The Blood Knife Gang needs to recruit more people like you. Only with strong and capable hands can the Blood Knife Gang progress.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Hall Masters must be joking. I’m just a Soul Fusion cultivator. I don’t have a lot of strength.”

Zhao Hai still hasn’t figured Yu Linfeng out. He doesn’t know what they wanted to do. Everyone in the Blood Knife Gang knew that he was close with Liu Zhen. It can even be said that Liu Zhen was the reason he joined the gang. His name has already been branded with Liu Zhen’s faction.

On the other hand, Liu Zhen and Yu Linfeng’s camp had a hostile relationship. This extended to Zhao Hai’s relationship with them. Moreover, just earlier in the day, Yu Linfeng exchanged a few heated words with Liu Zhen. For Yu Linfeng and the others to give him a sudden visit, Zhao Hai’s thoughts couldn’t help but wander.

Does Yu Linfeng want to win him over? That’s impossible. From connection, to power, and to influence, Liu Zhen was leagues better than Yu Linfeng’s faction. There was no advantage in joining them. Moreover, Zhao Hai regards Liu Zhen highly, he can never be won over by Liu Zhen’s enemies.

If they aren’t here to win Zhao Hai over, then why are they here? To drive a wedge between Zhao Hai and Liu Zhen? That’s impossible as well. If others can separate Zhao Hai and Liu Zhen with a mere visit, then they had no concrete relationship to begin with. 

Yu Linfeng and the others continued to chat with Zhao Hai. They talked about random topics. The three didn’t mention their goal. Zhao Hai also wasn’t anxious, he was waiting to see what the three wanted to do.

The four chatted for more than an hour. Then Yu Linfeng looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Ling, I heard that the Forbidden Path is preparing to recruit disciples. I heard that the Gang Master wants you to participate in the recruitment. Is that true?”

Zhao Hai stared, then he immediately said, “At that time, the Gang Master wants me to try if I can join the Forbidden Path Sect. If I succeed, then the Blood Knife Gang would have a firm foothold in Demonheart City. However, the Forbidden Path Sect is a great sect, I’m not very confident that I could pass their assessment.”

When Yu Linfeng heard Zhao Hai say this, he quickly said, “Actually, the assessment of the Forbidden Path Sect isn’t hard. It would be great for the Blood Knife Gang if you could enter the sect. Don’t worry, we fully support you in participating in the sect assessment. Right, we brought you some things that you might be able to use. I hope they can be of help to you.” 𝐫Ä₦𝔬𝐛Εᶊ

After he said that, Yu Linfeng waved his hand, and a few jade bottles appeared on the table. At a glance, the bottles contained pills. Chen Feng and Lie Xing also took out the things that they prepared. Chen Feng took out a bell-shaped defensive artifact while Lie Xing took out a pile of jade talismans. From the runes on its surface, the talismans seem to be high-level.

Zhao Hai looked at the items on the table in confusion. He looked at the three and said, “Hall Master’s, what is this? I don’t understand.”

Yu Linfeng looked at Zhao Hai and said, “It’s nothing. These will help you enter the Forbidden Path Sect. We hope that you can join the sect. This is to benefit you and also for the Blood Knife Gang.”

Chen Feng also nodded and said, “Now that we don’t know when the Gang Master will return, the strength of the Blood Knife Gang places it at the bottom of Demonheart City. Although we have our contradictions with Liu Zhen, we are still members of the Blood Knife Gang in the end. We also hope that the gang heads towards a brighter future. If the gang becomes better in Liu Zhen’s hands, it’s not impossible for us to serve him as Gang Master.”

Hearing Yu Linfeng and the others, Zhao Hai immediately understood why they came over today. He immediately cupped his fist and said, “Zhao Ling thanks the Hall Masters for their intentions. Hall Masters, please rest assured, I will certainly do my best.”

Hearing this, Yu Linfeng and the others knew that Zhao Hai understood their message. Yu Linfeng and the others smiled before they stood up. Then they cupped their fists towards Zhao Hai and said, “In that case, we won’t disturb you any longer. Go and prepare. We’re heading out.”

Zhao Hai nodded, “I’ll escort you out.” The three nodded and then went out of the courtyard with Zhao Hai. After cupping their fists once more towards Zhao Hai, they turned around and left.

Soon after the three Hall Masters left, Liu Zhen arrived at Zhao Hai’s courtyard. Liu Zhen skipped the pleasantries as he sat down and said, “Little Ling, why did those three come here? Did they try to win you over?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Yes and no. They came to make friends with me, but they also want to repair their relationship with you.” After he said that, Zhao Hai told Liu Zhen about his meeting with the three Hall Masters.

Hearing Zhao Hai, Liu Zhen frowned and then said, “Do they really want to fix their relationship with me? Why? They have always been strongly against me.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “It’s very simple. They found out that they cannot win against you. Moreover, they know that I would participate in the Forbidden Path Sect’s assessment. If I manage to join the Forbidden Path Sect and support you, they will have no chance in winning. They also aren’t thinking about leaving the gang. Because of this, they can only repair their relationship with you. Only through this can they continue to stay in the gang and keep their position as Hall Masters.”

Liu Zhen coldly snorted and said, “When I control the Blood Knife Gang, they will be the first to taste my knife.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need for that. If I successfully join the Forbidden Path Sect, they won’t dare fight with you. Their threat will completely disappear. You don’t need to deal with such people. On the contrary, if you want to develop the gang, you need to attract more talents. If you can keep them in the gang and maintain their positions, people will think that you are a tolerant person and not a tyrant. When the time comes, people will come flocking to join the Blood Knife Gang. This reputation is more useful to you than getting rid of your rivals.”

Liu Zhen stared. Zhao Hai approved of him dealing with Yu Linfeng and the others before. He didn’t expect Zhao Hai to change so quickly. He couldn’t help but frown as he said, “All of this is based on the fact that you can join the Forbidden Path Sect. But if you fail, what do we do?”

Zhao Hai’s eyes flashed a cold light, “Then we cannot keep them. They need to be killed. Even if this results in the gang losing a few powerful members, we need to remove unstable elements. Their continued existence will bring no benefit to you or the gang. They might even collude with other groups to swallow the Blood Knife Gang. If I fail to join the Forbidden Path Sect, they will be the first ones we get rid of.”

Liu Zhen stared, but then the anxiety on his face cleared.
