Chapter 2743 - 53: Eyes Like Water, Mirror-Like Lake

The weather was clear and pleasant that day, and the inn was very peaceful.

The master of the Fruit and Flower Club, Yuan Yizhi, stood guard outside, his old face serious.

Yuan Mengji sat in the room, persuading seriously: "You really don’t need to worry about anything. At least one-sixth of Mo Yun City is surnamed Yuan, and that Crimson Moon King has not been exposed yet, but once any traces are revealed, I have a hundred methods to deal with her. If worst comes to worst, I can ask my grandfather to step in. Frankly speaking, the reason for inviting you to help is to use your name, lest Lu Qilang makes noise. You, with no relatives and suddenly rising, have actually received some kind of inheritance in secret and happen to possess something that can eliminate She Guyu... isn’t this quite reasonable?"

Chai Asi felt a chill in his heart.

Yuan Mengji’s last words carried a hint of threat.

Even before participating in the Jin Yang Martial Arts Competition, he had already organized his cultivation path, embellishing his past like his grandfather’s old spiritual tablet so that everything previously happened with traces to follow—

For example, his swordsmanship and body refining techniques were all obtained accidentally from ancient books by his grandfather in his early years. As for where he swapped them and how he picked up such a masterpiece... his grandfather is already dead, he himself does not know the details.

He previously had no friends, kept to himself, thus having time to practice swordsmanship in his small yard.

His demon mark is a dot on his nose, making his sense of smell sensitive, specializing in herbal collection, which was his usual occupation, thus providing resources for his body refinement.

Witnessing his grandfather being crushed to death by a runaway carriage, he became inward afterward. For many years, he hid his light and avoided disputes with other families. Until he was pushed to the limit by Yuan Yong, he took action in anger.

To avoid being punished by the Ape Family, he proactively sought the Fruit and Flower Club, connected by Yuan Laoxi to pledge allegiance. After joining the Fruit and Flower Club, he was not content to spend his life mixing on the streets. Thinking that since he had already shown his sharpness, there was no need to hide himself any longer, he joined the Jin Yang Martial Arts Competition, not expecting to become famous in one fell swoop.

This line of experience is reasonable, especially with his father-in-law Yuan Laoxi as a witness. Pig Dali, the caretaker of the Old Ape Tavern, is also a demon witness; how many times did he see him drinking? He saw his growth!

But if Yuan Mengji wants to doubt or find some trouble, just randomly picking an unknown origin is enough to handle him.

Why is he now relying on the Ape Family in the Fruit and Flower Club? In the entire Mo Yun City, there are only a few families that can oppose the Ape Family, and it’s too late to find another backer...

"It’s just two superficial techniques my grandfather swapped in his early years. How can it be considered an inheritance?" Chai Asi said with a bitter face, "If Young Master Yuan is interested, it is Little Monster’s honor; I will immediately fetch them to offer to you!"

Going back, have Ancient God create a flawed version with traps to practice to death this bastard?

Yuan Mengji looked at the honest stance of Chai Asi for a moment and suddenly laughed, "What are you saying, you Little Monster, thinking I would covet your things?"

The truth is, this Chai Asi only has decent combat talent; his swordsmanship and body refining techniques are strong, but ultimately, the levels are relatively low, as far as Young Master Yuan is concerned, it is not worth looking at.

However, mentioning it casually, whether for a probe or a threat, it’s up to him to interpret.

As the young master of the Moyun Ape Family, he has the authority to act recklessly.

"I am wholeheartedly loyal to the Ape Family and sincerely admire Young Master," Chai Asi said, "Being thought of by Young Master to use Little Monster’s name is an honor for Little Monster. How can Little Monster not believe Young Master? It’s just that Crimson Moon King might not be convinced. After all, Little Monster’s strength is very limited."

Yuan Mengji laughed lightly, "Having some excuse for dispute is enough; truly wanting him to sincerely accept it? In these times, who can be willing when the meat slips from their mouth?"

"But Little Monster’s strength is indeed a problem. I haven’t even reached the rank of Monster General now, and even if Crimson Moon King stands still, asks me to kill her, I may not be able to actually hurt her." Chai Asi hinted again.

Yuan Mengji tasted the meaning with some condescending amusement, "Alright, stop beating around the bush, just tell me directly what benefits you want. Demon Emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!"

Goodness, dare to compare himself to Demon Emperor.

If not to boast now, it would indeed betray this confidence.

"The generosity of Young Master Yuan is well known in Mo Yun City. Today, asking Little Monster to do things will certainly not result in poor treatment!" Chai Asi first offered a flattery, then awkwardly said, "Little Monster recently reached an obstacle in body refinement, progress is difficult. If I could obtain a ten-thousand-year-old Dragon and Tiger Ginseng, twelve-petal Heavenly Lotus, nine-ounce Deity Peach... I surely could advance further. Then, if I said I have a way to kill She Guyu, I would have some persuasive power."

Yuan Mengji’s face darkened, "Is Little Monster joking with me?"

Chai Asi showed a look of sincere fear, "It was presumptuous of Little Monster! Little Monster has only heard these names, knows they are effective for body refinement, but doesn’t know how valuable or what the price is. In Little Monster’s heart, Young Master Yuan is destined to become a noble Heavenly Demon, with immeasurable wealth, treasures piling high. Are these things truly so rare that even with Young Master’s honor, you cannot provide them?"

Yuan Mengji was embarrassed to say he hadn’t even seen these things; only thought of Lu Qilang, thought of possible gains from She Guyu, ultimately smacked his lips, and said harshly: "There is one thousand-year-old Dragon and Tiger Ginseng, don’t expect anything else. If you agree, I’ll ask your club master to give it to you."
