Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant - Chapter 379
Chapter 379: Chapter 22 Persecution_3
“I suppose the Xuli Sect is forcing me to make a choice?”
“But the Zhenling Palace is still here, and the other three Great Sects need to cooperate. They can’t really fall out, at best it results in a delicate balance of conflicting yet non-destructive. With this in mind, what I can do is even less.”
Wang Ba hasn’t been idle these years, and although he is limited by the lack of information, he can see the basic situation clearly.
But no matter how clever a woman is, she can’t cook without rice.
He was left hanging by the three Great Sects within Yong’an City. Even though he had a high reputation and status, in the end, he couldn’t establish himself; it was just a castle in the air.
As for the current situation, unless someone steps in and disrupts the delicate balance between the three Great Sects, he has already resigned himself to losing sixty percent of the profit.
“Li Ji’s great-aunt…”
The first person who came to Wang Ba’s mind was the female Cultivator in the carriage.
Her background seemed deeply steeped, and her cultivation base was quite high.
However, thinking that she had already stated she wouldn’t permit him to act in her name, Wang Ba hesitated a bit and decided not to.
He doesn’t have many allies to start with, and definitely can’t afford to make more enemies.
Just as he was gritting his teeth preparing to take a loss, a rough voice suddenly sounded from the entrance:
“Shen, I’m here!”
It was Zhang Tailai!
Wang Ba’s eyes suddenly brightened, how could he have forgotten him!
Isn’t this a ready-made solution!
Following the sound of Zhang Tailai’s voice, the normally composed Zhuang Yi’s face suddenly tightened slightly.
Master Zhang, who was always seated at the side of the table, opened his droopy eyes wide, and his gaze, sharp as light, swept towards the entrance.
Yan Qing of Huifeng Valley quickly recognized Zhang Tailai’s voice and couldn’t help but show a surprised look.
Apart from the three Golden Core Craftsman who saw clearly, everyone else only saw a flash before their eyes. They then saw a robust and rough Cultivator, holding a giant hammer Magic Tool in his hand. His dangerous aura was palpable as if a giant spirit guarding in front of Wang Ba. His gaze towards everyone didn’t mask his vigilance and ferocity.
“Zhang Tailai!”
“Hasn’t he left yet?”
“If he’s here, Yuan Wenzhi must be nearby too!”
A Golden Core Craftsman hiding his aura and hiding in Yong’an City, where there are no permanent Golden Core True Individuals, is simply too easy.
The three Golden Core True Individuals had no idea that a Golden Core Rogue Cultivator was hiding right across from Wang Ba’s mansion.
However, the reactions of the three were not the same.
Zhuang Yi’s face was solemn, and his Mana instantly gathered.
Master Zhang and Yan Qing had different expressions.
“Shen, is someone trying to hurt you?” Zhang Tailai said in a deep voice.
He scanned the three Golden Core Craftsman with his gaze, glanced at Master Zhang’s face, and a look of great concern appeared on his face.
Wang Ba quickly stepped forward to pull Zhang Tailai away.
“Master Zhang, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, these are all my good friends!”
Zhang Tailai seemed somewhat incredulous when he heard this:
“All of these people? I think Zhuang Yi’s gaze towards you seems a bit off…”
Zhuang Yi of Xuli Sect suddenly turned cold and rebuked:
“Zhang Tailai! Watch your mouth! Shen and I are old friends, how could I possibly harm him!”
Wang Ba couldn’t help but give Zhang Tailai a covert thumbs-up. This guy might seem naive, but his discernment was spot on!
He spotted the most crucial person in the whole situation with one look.
But of course, he couldn’t go along with Zhang Tailai’s words. He quickly put on a wry smile and tried to mediate:
“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Master Zhuang, Master Zhang, this is all a misunderstanding.”
“Really?”
Seeing Wang Ba’s seemingly genuine expression, Zhang Tailai reluctantly sheathed his Magic Tool with a dubious attitude. However, he was still occasionally eyeing Zhuang Yi.
Although Zhuang Yi had a dark look on his face, he didn’t say anything more.
Yuan Wenzhi and Zhang Tailai, this pair of sworn brothers, are also quite famous among the Golden Core Rogue Cultivators in Yan State.
Any Golden Core true person who can grow under the pressure of the Four Great Sects, even if they cannot surpass the Sect Cultivators, the gap is never too wide.
That’s why Zhuang Yi didn’t dare to underestimate him.
Especially since everyone knows that Zhang Tailai isn’t the brightest bulb. Saying it nicely, he’s genuine; saying it bluntly, he lacks tact.
Picking a fight with such a person is unwise.
Earlier he thought he had left, but he didn’t expect him to be nearby.
With this realization, Zhuang Yi showed a trace of caution and prudence in his gaze towards Wang Ba.
He finally realized how correct Master Zhuang’s initial words were. This Shen Fu is indeed a rare talent and indeed very dangerous.
Just having a Foundation Establishment, he could have a Golden Core Rogue Cultivator come to his defense.
This kind of talent, if not used for his own purposes, will definitely cause endless trouble!
At this moment, Wang Ba took the initiative to speak:
“Speaking of which, Master Zhuang just said, taking 60% of the profit… Well, it’s not that I don’t want to contribute, but the cost of refining Spirit Chicken Essence itself is very high. There really isn’t that much profit.”
If he goes by Zhuang Yi’s terms, he will only have 40% of revenue left. After deducting the cost of chicken feed and the necessary spirit materials for configuring treatment liquid, he won’t have much left.
He would basically be working for the three Great Sects.
If that’s the case, he might as well leave this place and occasionally sell to the Linglong Ghost Market.
Even though it’s much more troublesome than before and the earnings are less, at least he could keep most of his profits for himself.
Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, Zhuang Yi couldn’t help sneering in his heart.
That’s the point. I want you to have no profit!
