1833 The Best Choice
Chu Liuyue looked at Xiao Ba thoughtfully. “Did you quarrel with Yan Qing again?”
“When did I!?” Xiao Ba immediately retorted, her voice rising.
Chu Liuyue understood. Ah, there was indeed another argument. For some reason, the two of them always have conflicts when they are together.
Xiao Ba is usually enchanting and charming. Other than the Thirteen Yue Guard, she basically speaks softly to men. Now that she is facing Yan Qing, I don’t know what is wrong with her. She is always very easily irritable.
Logically speaking, a big ice cube like Yan Qing can freeze someone to death. If I don’t deal with it, he might keep going against Xiao Ba… I really don’t know how Yan Qing offended her.
She took a sip of tea. “Xiao Ba, women who are often angry age quickly.”
Xiao Ba was dumbfounded and quickly touched her face. Oh no, oh no! I have been angry for no reason recently. Did I get wrinkles?
“I’ll go back and rest first!” After saying that, Xiao Ba hurried out. What is a man? Beauty is more important!
Chu Liuyue put down her teacup. Mm. It seems that even as time passes, some people’s fatal weaknesses are still hit in one strike.
“What do you know about the Black Sword Sect?” Rong Xiu looked at San San. “Have you seen the master they’re talking about?”
San San became much more serious and shook his head. “The Black Sword Sect has a mansion here, but the guards are extremely strict. Even when I go there every time, I have to undergo heavy inspection. Moreover, their master is very mysterious. It’s been so long, but I haven’t seen him once. Every time I meet him, it’s the same middle-aged man—Mo Yun. Mo Yun is the deputy sect master of the Black Sword Sect. His status in the Black Sword Sect is also very high; he’s basically in charge of all the big and small matters inside.”
Mo Yun… Rong Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly as a dark glint flashed across them.
“What did you think of?” asked Chu Liuyue.
Rong Xiu paused and shook his head. “It’s just a guess, and nothing can be confirmed yet. It’s not too late to talk about it when we know more.”
Knowing that he had never fought a battle he wasn’t confident in and would never make rash decisions about things that he still had doubts about, Chu Liuyue did not continue asking. What she wanted to know the most now was what the Black Sword Sect wanted to do after spending so much effort at Peach Blossom Dock.
Take this place for themselves? But even if there is Clear Water Cliff here, it isn’t theirs. What can they gain by wasting time here?
Just for those herbs and pills? It isn’t worth it.
For the abundant natural energy here? It isn’t worth it.
In order to absorb more cultivators and increase their strength?
Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue asked, “After the people from Black Sword Sect came, did the number of people increase much?”
San San thought for a moment before answering. “To be honest, it’s not much. Anyone who wants to enter the Black Sword Sect has to go through a month of assessment. Only those who pass the assessment can stay. Those who can’t pass will be eliminated. As far as I know, the elimination rate is still very shocking. But even so, there are still people who want to go.”
This was expected. After all, the Black Sword Sect was the largest force in Peach Blossom Deck.
If one could become one of them, their safety would undoubtedly be greatly guaranteed, and they could naturally stay in Peach Blossom Dock.
Those who came from outside the God Residence Realm tried their best to enter this circle. Those desperadoes who had come here for various reasons naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.
“Actually, not everyone wants to join the Black Sword Sect; many people even have a grudge against them. But to this time, no faction can resist the Black Sword Sect,” San San explained.
This was also why he was still interacting with the other party until now. He was really… forced by life!
Chu Liuyue entered deep thought.
After hearing what San San said, she basically had a rough understanding of the current situation at Peach Blossom Dock, including the Black Sword Sect. But the more she knew, the trickier it became.
She had originally wanted to come over to see how San San was doing and also prepare to establish her own faction. But now, because of the small space at Clear Water Cliff, San San was being watched by Black Sword Sect’s people. It was really not reassuring.
Cen Yi looked at San San calmly. “San San, didn’t you say that you’ve already chosen a few places for Master to pick?”
“Oh! Yes, yes! I almost forgot about that!” Cen Yi’s words reminded San San.
He quickly took out a few pieces of paper and handed them over. “Master, the few places I mentioned earlier are listed here. I’ve already noted the pros and cons. If there’s anything you don’t know, just ask me.”
Chu Liuyue took the pieces of paper and looked through them carefully.
Most of the locations were places with abundant natural energy in the God Residence Realm. Some had no master, while some had an owner.
The places without owners were more dangerous. In contrast, one needed to spend more money to buy those owned places from those aristocratic families. In short, they did have their advantages and disadvantages.
After reading it, Chu Liuyue handed it to Rong Xiu. “Take a look.”
Rong Xiu read it very quickly and finished flipping through it in a short while. He then looked up at her and smiled. “Which one do you have your eye on?”
A moment of hesitation flashed across Chu Liuyue’s face.
Rong Xiu’s smile deepened. With a twist of his wrist, he returned the papers to San San.
San San quickly caught the stack and looked at the two of them. “Master, Your Highness, which one do you like the most?”
There was a moment of silence.
Rong Xiu knocked his hand on the table with a faint smile. “She doesn’t like any of them.”
“None?” San San was shocked. These were all carefully chosen by me. Why doesn’t Master like any of them?
Chu Liuyue deliberated over her words. “San San, it’s not that the places you chose are bad, but… they aren’t suitable. If it’s just a place to live, it’s naturally not a problem. However, it’s not enough to use it for other things.”
She had her own plans, and these places were obviously not enough to meet her requirements.
“But… With my current financial resources, I can only choose these…” San San was rarely embarrassed.
Of course, he knew that these weren’t the best choices. However, he really had no choice.
Chu Liuyue smiled and comforted him. “Don’t worry. I don’t mean to blame you. After all, this is a big deal. We have to consider it carefully and can’t rush it. We’ll see later; there might be better ones.”
San San could only nod.
“By the way, you’re going to visit personally to deliver the Merge Spirit Herb in three days. What are you going to do?”
San San looked even more troubled. “The production of the Merge Spirit Herb is very low. In three days, I’m afraid I can only take out half of what they need.”
