MTLNOVEL Chapter 20 - Senior Brother, I have come to see Senior Sister Mengyou again.
Among those present, no one was more excited than Zhao Mingxuan, Zhou Hanhe, and Hu Min.
They had just seen Li Chuan take more than 5,000 spirit stones and donations, and they felt a pang of resentment.
Now, someone was looking for trouble with Li Chuan, so how could they hold back their anger? They even wished for Li Chuan to lose the spirit stones and contributions he had just received.
Mo Xiangling said, “Of course he was here, and he exchanged the spirit-draining grass for 5,000 spirit stones and contributions. But when Senior Brother Cao asked me where the person was, he asked the wrong person. The junior brother and junior sister are not related, so how would the junior sister know where he is?”
As soon as he heard the words 5,000 Spirit Stones and contributions, the gray-robed middle-aged man’s eyes widened.
He had said that Li Chuan was up to no good, but he had not expected the spirit-draining grass to be so valuable.
He felt so much remorse.
But he didn’t think about the fact that he had been in the Spirit Farm for so long and still hadn’t recognized something like this, and that he would have been able to get it even without Li Chuan.
Cao Tianyang angrily said, “Then please help me find out information about this person. I worked so hard to cultivate the Spirit-Draining Grass, and he just stole it and used it to get contributions. I can’t just let that happen.
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Mo Xiangling was looking at him with a strange expression, so he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter, Junior Sister Mo? Is it that you don’t want to help with something so simple?”
“Junior Sister, don’t worry. Senior Brother won’t let you help with this for nothing. You will be rewarded handsomely.”
This hint was very clear. There would be many benefits for Mo Xiangling.
However, Mo Xiangling laughed and said, “Senior Brother Cao, this is the Outer Gate Task Hall, not your Small World No. 1. We still have to follow the ground rules.”
“Each disciple’s information is kept confidential. You should know that. How can you, who is in charge of the hall, make such a request to me?”
Her words made Cao Tianyang a little angry. Cao Tianyang was the one who left the task hall, so of course he knew what the so-called secrecy was.
After all, there was an unspoken understanding between everyone about many things.
Mo Xiangling’s words made it clear that she didn’t want to help him.
He couldn’t help but say, “Junior Sister Mo, someone stole something so valuable from me and even brought it to your task hall to sell it. You are also responsible for cooperating with me to find the person who stole it.”
Mo Xiangling’s face immediately turned cold. “I don’t like hearing this from you, Senior Brother. You people were useless, resulting in someone taking something, so what are you doing here?”
“Shouldn’t you be in the law enforcement hall?”
“Besides, Senior Brother is so powerful that you can even grow spirit-draining grass, so catching a disciple who stole it shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?”
She said with a mocking expression.
Spirit-Draining Grass is something that is rarely seen, and she has been in the task hall for ten years, and this is the first time she has received it, so of course she doesn’t believe that Cao Tianyang can cultivate and grow it.
She even suspected that Cao Tianyang had only seen an introduction to Spirit-Draining Grass in a book and had never seen the real thing.
Cao Tianyang naturally heard her sarcasm and said unhappily, “So Junior Sister Mo has decided to cover for him? Does Junior Sister really want Senior Brother me to make a big deal out of this and take it to the Seventh Elder?”
Mo Xiangling gave him a disdainful look and said, “I don’t know what the Seventh Elder’s attitude is, but if you continue to mess with me here and delay the normal operation of the Task Hall, as the manager of the Task Hall, I will have no choice but to kick you out.”
“Until then, Senior Brother, don’t say that Junior Sister didn’t give you a face and didn’t care about the friendship between fellow disciples.”
Although Cao Tianyang is the senior brother, in reality, just like Mo Xiangling, he only has the cultivation of the tenth level of qi cultivation.
But when it comes to strength, he can’t even come close to Mo Xiangling.
More than ten years ago, Mo Xiangling was already the best in the outer sect. He was a well-deserved genius with an immeasurable future.
Cao Tianyang, on the other hand, was a disciple of a sect that had already exhausted its talent pool.
He had almost no hope of building a foundation in this life. Just like Small World No. 1, he had long since run out of potential and could only be used as a place to retire.
They both seemed to be administrators, but the difference between them was huge.
If he wasn’t a spirit planter, he probably wouldn’t even be considered for the position of steward.
If Mo Xiangling really started fighting, he would be badly beaten, not to mention that there were many people in the task hall, and by now, quite a few people had gathered around.
If they really started fighting, Cao Tianyang and the others wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.
“Fine, then I’ll have to ask the Seventh Elder to make a decision for me.”
The situation was beyond his control, and in the end, Cao Tianyang could only leave in disgrace.
Originally, Mo Xiangling hadn’t bothered to get involved in this kind of thing. She didn’t have such a strong sense of justice, and she didn’t have the leisure to argue with others, but who said that Li Chuan was capable?
She was indirectly tied to Li Chuan’s interests, and as long as it didn’t affect her, she was naturally on Li Chuan’s side.
Cao Tianyang and the others left the task hall. The middle-aged man in the gray clothes opened his mouth with a worried expression, “Cao Steward, are we really going to look for the Seventh Elder?”
He was afraid that going to the Seventh Elder would reveal the fact that Cao Tianyang had not planted the spirit-draining grass at all.
He also did not expect that Cao, the big boss who usually acted like a bully in front of them, actually had no authority in the Task Hall, and no one paid any attention to him.
Cao Tianyang glared at the gray-clad middle-aged man and scolded, “Do you have a problem going to the Seventh Elder for such a trivial matter? Just find an elder brother from the Seventh Elder Peak who can handle it.
He’s just a little steward of the outer gate, so what’s the big deal? The Seventh Elder will meet with him, just a few words to save face, why bring it up with him?
…
Li Chuan had seen a lot of power struggles in the Immortal Cultivation world, so when he saw Cao Tianyang and the others, he guessed that these guys were here to get the Spirit-Draining Grass back.
He wasn’t worried about it at all, after all, he had survived so many life-and-death situations that this little storm wasn’t worth mentioning.
Besides, he had managed to cling to the Seventh Elder’s long, smooth legs. So what if he had taken the Spirit-Draining Grass by force instead of by wisdom?
The most urgent task was to break through to the next realm.
Without good help, how could he be in a good mood to break through quickly? So Li Chuan went to Chu Mengyou’s house first.
When he knocked on the door, it was Zhao Bingqian who opened it.
“This is junior brother Li Chuan, come in.” Zhao Bingqian was unusually enthusiastic this time, smiling as soon as he saw Li Chuan and ushering him into the room at the first opportunity.
“Senior Sister Mengyou isn’t here?” Li Chuan couldn’t help but ask, not sensing Chu Mengyou’s presence in the room.
Zhao Bingqian laughed and said, “Senior Sister Mengyou went to give a lecture to the outer disciples.
Upon hearing this, he realized that she had taken on a task, and she really was a hardworking fairy.
Li Chuan couldn’t help but look at Zhao Bingqian. Every time he came here, Zhao Bingqian was here, which made him think, doesn’t this guy have any tasks to do?
He asked directly, “Senior Brother Zhao, don’t you go out and gain experience?”
Zhao Bingqian said with a bitter smile, “I won’t lie to you, junior brother. Your Senior Sister Mengyou has now touched the threshold of Foundation Building, and she only needs the Foundation Building Pill to do it. But I am still confused about Building a Foundation.
“In order not to be too far behind Junior Sister Mengyou, Senior Brother has been meditating and gaining insight during this time, which is a bit embarrassing for Junior Brother to see.”
Seeing that Zhao Bingqian was suddenly pouring out his grievances to him, Li Chuan couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, thinking that this guy isn’t going to say anything to him, is he?
He was right, and Zhao Bingqian’s next sentence revealed his intention.
