Chapter 368 Release goodwill and return the bones (please subscribe)
However, Wei Tu's answer still disappointed Nan Zi.
Wei Tu did not rely on Yu Jianglong's words to confirm the relationship between the two. Instead, he sent a message to her and asked for her opinion.
“Miss Nan, although it is hateful that Yu Jianglong pursues you for the sake of the Yu family, if Mr. Wei verbally agrees with his words, it will inevitably have an impact on Miss Nan’s reputation..."
“And Wei…”
“This matter still needs to be decided by Miss Nan!”
Nan Zi, who was on the side, understood what Wei Tu meant.
It means the right of choice,
Left to her to a certain extent.
If she agrees to this and announces that she has a wife, then future suitors like Yu Jianglong will stay away and stop bothering her.
But what followed was a loss of reputation.
Although Wei Tu was reluctant to act as a shield, he would not refute her out of consideration for the sake of his friends and would acquiesce in the incident.
In short, Wei Tu clarifies the relationship between the two: they are just ordinary friends, and have not risen to the level of love between a man and a woman.
“I hope she can feel relieved.”
Wei Tu sighed softly and shook his head.
Before, when Nan Zi welcomed him into the cave and then scolded his disciple Qiu Buchen to leave, he was keenly aware of Nan Zi's little thoughts.
However, after knowing each other for many years, Wei Tu also understood Nan Zi’s character, and knew that she was greedy for money, and was used to following the trend, flattering others and suppressing others, so she didn’t care much about it and regarded it as normal.
After all, the world is so big that there are countless monks with defective characters, and it is impossible to dislike every one of them.
Nan Zi is indifferent to Hua Xianlong, but she has never been indifferent to him. On the contrary, the "high" that Nan Zi praises and suppresses has always been him.
He is also more comfortable with this.
In addition, the relationship between him and Nan Zi is not only the relationship between the two parties, but also involves the friendship between masters and disciples...
Just for these reasons, he had to tolerate some of Nan Zi's "small flaws". There can be no more trouble.
but-
It has reached the stage of being a Taoist companion.
This is something Wei Tu cannot tolerate or acquiesce in.
Once married, Nan Zi may become a big Yan Xiaolan, thinking about his inheritance after his death all day long.
And unlike Yan Xiaolan, he cannot completely control Nan Zi, control her life and death.
"It should be that the matter of Taoist companions was taken too hastily. Now, Senior Brother Wei has a good impression of me at most, but he hasn't reached that point yet..." Nan Zi comforted herself.
After all, if Wei Tu didn't like her, why would he come all the way to Chu to see her?
“However, I can’t rashly acquiesce to this matter, lest Senior Brother Wei think I’m contemptible…”
A few gleams of light appeared under Nan Zi’s eyes.
She thought about it for a while, with a somewhat apologetic look on her face, and said to Wei Tu: "Yu Jianglong misunderstood you and me this time. It's because I acted wrongly, and Senior Brother Wei was forced to get involved in this matter... I I should explain the whole story to Yu Jianglong so as not to damage Senior Brother Wei’s reputation.”
After finishing speaking, Nan Zi raised his head and looked at Yu Jianglong in front of him, and said in a solemn voice: "Elder Yu, Senior Brother Wei and I are just old friends, not Taoist companions. Elder Yu, please be careful and don't damage Senior Brother Wei's good reputation."
After finishing speaking, Nan Zi’s eyebrows were slightly happy, and she was very proud of her strategy of using retreat to advance.
Her words seemed to be words of clarification, but in the ears of an outsider like Yu Jianglong, how could they really think that the relationship between her and Wei Tu was "innocent"?
The crisis pursued by Yu Jianglong resolves itself!
In addition, compared to the reputation of female cultivators, the reputation of male cultivators is less important.
She sacrificed herself to preserve Wei Tu's reputation. In Wei Tu's eyes, she would not only have the aura of a weakling who endures hardships, but would also gain additional points for becoming a Taoist companion.
However, even if Nan Zi had calculated everything and no matter how scheming she was, she would never have thought that she had a negative impression in Wei Tu's mind as early as a hundred years ago.
And this negative impression cannot be overturned by her simple words.
However, after hearing this, Wei Tu did not refute and chose to acquiesce.
After all, Nan Zi’s explanation was not wrong, and it did no harm to him.
“It was Yu’s misjudgment, please forgive Master Wei and Junior Sister Nan.”
Hearing this, Yu Jianglong cursed endlessly. What he heard just now using the secret technique of spiritual ears cannot be false. It was obviously something someone close to him would say.
However, a good man will not suffer immediate losses.
He would not be stupid enough to refute Nan Zi's words.
“Since the two of you are not Taoist companions...Yu still has three purple sun seeds here, so I will give them to you two.”
Yu Jianglong showed a hint of pain on his face. He took out the same brocade box from the storage bag and handed it over to the direction of Wei Tu and Nan Zi with his magic power.
If Wei Tu and Nan Zi were Taoist couples, one apology gift would be enough for him, but if they made it clear that they were not Taoist lovers, then he would have to pay two apology gifts.
Two brocade boxes are suspended in the air.
Weitu pondered for a moment, waved his robe, took out a brocade box, and put it in his sleeve.
"If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. Elder Yu's apology gift has been received by Mr. Wei. Next time, if there is anything to do with alchemy, the Guangyuan Yu family can come to Mr. Wei..."
Weitu began to release goodwill.
Whether in the secular world or in the world of cultivating immortals, it is not wise to make enemies everywhere.
No matter how powerful a monk is, he will be destined to fall one day.
For example, the ancestor of Red Snake in Qingzhu Mountain was poisoned and killed by the Mingwangmen because of a momentary oversight. The Lord of Nascent Soul fell into the hands of a group of golden elixirs.
Making more friends and making fewer enemies is the realistic way to live in the world.
He has already established his authority.
There is no need to completely push the Guangyuan Yu family into the opposite direction.
Yu Jianglong is willing to apologize, which means that it is possible for the two of them to live in harmony.
Besides, even if he wants to be an enemy of the Guangyuan Yu family, it is not appropriate to use his identity as "Wei Tu".
"sure."
Yu Jianglong was surprised at first when he heard Wei Tu's words, and then he realized it. He smiled, raised his hands and agreed. It is impossible to say that he does not hate Wei Tu. But this hatred is obviously not worth giving up his path to target Wei Tu, a figure who is higher than him and is a third-level mid-level alchemist.
The day when there is real revenge, it will only be after his cultivation is higher than that of Wei Tu and he has the possibility of victory!
…
Wait until Yu Jianglong leaves.
As soon as Wei Tu patted the spirit beast bag and took away the air-splitting sculpture suspended in the air, he planned to resign to Nan Zi.
Before coming, he had no intention of staying in the Beast Control Sect for a long time.
Now, after the conflict with Yu Jianglong, his reputation as "Defense Master" will probably spread throughout the Beast Control Sect in the near future. Become an important figure in the public opinion field.
By then, it would not be a good thing if he encountered bold people like the Fu family brothers and sisters who wanted to imprison him for alchemy.
Even though he has the strength to resolve it, it is still a troublesome matter.
One sentence.
There are many people who are famous for their right and wrong.
“It’s because I have something wrong with me and caused trouble, which led to a conflict between Senior Brother Wei and Elder Yu... After staying in the Beast Control Sect for a short time, I will leave..."
Nan Zi covered her face and wept slightly, with a sad look on her face.
Qiu Buchen on the side twitched slightly when he saw this. He had been practicing under Nan Zi for a hundred years, how could he not know his master's temperament?
His personality has always been domineering and rude, and he is not at all the delicate person he is pretending to be at this time.
However, Qiu Buchen could only suppress these discomforts in his heart due to the taboo of the nobles, and could not explain it clearly to Wei Tu.
“If there is a chance, Wei will come to Chu again. When the time comes, he can stay in the Beast Control Sect as long as possible.”
Wei Tu said something.
These words once again made Nan Zi feel happy, and she began to look forward to the future for herself and Wei Tu.
"Miss Nan, there has been a scandal between you and me. To avoid suspicion, please stop it."
Reaching the entrance of the cave, Wei Tu paused and signaled to Nan Zi that there was no need to send more gifts.
“If you are not a minister, I will send you to Senior Brother Wei.”
Hearing this, Nan Zi also felt that it was reasonable, so he ordered Qiu Buchen to send Wei Tu away.
“Yes, Master.”
Qiu Buchen nodded and agreed.
Soon, Qiu Buchen led the way and sent Wei Tu away from Yushou Sect.
However, when he was halfway through the journey, Wei Tu stopped. He gave Qiu Buchen another instruction: "Take me to your cave. I have something to say to you."
Hearing this, Qiu Buchen was very surprised, but he thought that Wei Tu was his immortal guide and would not be harmful to him, so he nodded obediently and led Wei Tu to his cave.
Shao Qian and enter the cave.
Wei Tu did not hesitate, waved his sleeves and robes, and arranged a soundproof formation in Qiu Buchen's cave.
“Buchen, back then I went to Jingguo to pick up you and your sister, became your two immortal guides, and sent you two to join the immortal sect respectively.”
"At that time, Wei once said that this was the agreement between Wei and your ancestors... If the descendants of your Xia family are rich and prosperous, then Wei does not have to take care of you, but if the descendants of your Xia family are lonely... Wei will give a helping hand. …”
Wei Tu glanced at Qiu Buchen in front of him. He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
“I will always remember these words in my heart. I dare not forget Master Wei Xian’s great kindness.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Buchen immediately raised his robe and knelt down, kneeling down and bowing to Wei Tu.
The covenant with the ancestors to lend a helping hand...
Although he said this, Qiu Buchen understood that there were very few people in the world who could do this for their siblings like Wei Tu.
It is precisely because of this that he is grateful to Wei Tu from the bottom of his heart and has always regarded him as a great benefactor. His sister, Maiden Huaichun, fell in love with Wei Tu.
"However, Wei has never told you about the specific events of that year. Now that you have reached the late stage of foundation building, it is time."
After finishing speaking, Wei Tu flicked his sleeves and robe, and a Taoist-robed skeleton immediately appeared on the ground.
This skeleton is wearing a high crown and a light blue robe. The whole body is made of skin and bones, with no trace of flesh and blood.
But different from ordinary skeletons, this robed skeleton exudes terrifying pressure.
As soon as Qiu Buchen's eyes touched him, he was so frightened by his coercion that he almost lost his mind and sweat broke out on his back.
"This is it?" Qiu Buchen had a slight guess, looked up at Wei Tu, and asked Wei Tu for confirmation.
“This is your ancestor, Master Shentu.”
Wei Tu said calmly.
Hundred years ago, he had buried the bones of Master Shentu, but for some unknown reason, Gong Shulan discovered the bones using secret techniques and began to excavate them.
In order to protect the bones of Master Shentu, he has been carrying the bones of Master Shentu with him for more than a hundred years.
Nowadays, Qiu Buchen has achieved great success in cultivation. It is more appropriate for Qiu Buchen to keep the bones of his ancestors.
“Nascent Soul Corpse Bones…”
“He is actually the ancestor of my Qiu family…”
Qiu Buchen was startled for a moment.
He left home when he was young and didn't know much about his ancestors. He could only vaguely guess that his ancestors' level was definitely not low, otherwise he wouldn't have "made" a good friend like Wei Tu.
Unexpectedly, the level of the ancestors of the Qiu family has reached the Nascent Soul level.
