"Yes, Father."
Sima Muhan nodded and glared at Du Shaofu before leaving the hall.
Du Shaofu bowed and left with Sima Muhan.
"Why do you have to drag me into this? That's too unkind." Outside the grand hall, at the peak of the mountain, clouds and mist lingered. Sima Mu Ha slightly raised her beautiful face, and within her lively eyes, her light purple eyes stared hatefully at Du Shaofu.
"You also got your share of the energy copper talisman. You can't possibly make me the scapegoat. Furthermore, you are the daughter of the sect leader. He won't do anything to you." Du Shaofu said with a smile on his face.
"In your dreams."
Sima Muhan's light purple eyes rippled with an intelligent and charming luster. She stared at Du Shaofu and pouted slightly. Her cherry lips were smeared with a light pink like honey, as if she was inviting people to kiss her. Her red lips slightly parted as she said, "Six days later, I will definitely not let you go. At that time, I will properly deal with you."
After she finished speaking, her beautiful figure left and her black hair fluttered behind her. After a few flashes, she disappeared from the peak of the mountain.
Du Shaofu smiled and also left.
When Du Shaofu returned to Tian Mu Peak, he unexpectedly met an uninvited guest.
It was a lady wearing leather armor. Under the leather armor, an extremely alluring figure was outlined. Her long and straight legs were completely exposed and her face was very moving. She could be called a beauty.
"Why are you here?"
Du Shaofu was very surprised. The person who came was Qiao Yingmeng.
"I just bought some things from the outer sect and met someone called Gu Zhangyou. He paid a price and asked me to find you. He said that he knows you and wants to meet you." Qiao Yingmeng said to Du Shaofu.
"Gu Zhangyou. Du Shaofu recalled that the thin youth who had brought him to Tian Mu Peak from the outer sect was called Gu Zhangyou. His brows moved slightly as he asked Qiao Yingmeng, "Where is he now?"
"He's waiting for you outside the inner sect. It seems like his injuries aren't light. He's been waiting for you the entire night." Qiao Yingmeng said.
Within the Ancient Heaven Sect, there was an outer sect area and an inner sect area. Outer sect disciples were not allowed to enter the inner sect area as they wished. Once they set foot in the inner sect area, they would be severely punished.
When Du Shaofu exited the inner sect, he immediately saw Gu Zhangyou, who was waiting for him at the exit.
Gu Zhangyou was not tall to begin with, and his complexion was sallow and emaciated. At this moment, his complexion was pale, and his breathing was chaotic. It was obvious that his injuries were not light, but his eyes were still clear.
"Greetings, Uncle-master Du."
Seeing Du Shaofu arrive, Gu Zhangyou immediately bowed respectfully. In just one night, Uncle-master Du's name had spread throughout the Ancient Heaven Sect. Naturally, Gu Zhangyou had also heard of him.
"What happened to you? Your injuries aren't light." Du Shaofu sized up Gu Zhangyou. Gu Zhangyou's injuries were not light.
"Reporting to Uncle-master Du, it's nothing serious."
Gu Zhangyou looked at Du Shaofu and smiled bitterly. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Uncle-master Du, can you lend me some spirit herbs? I want to refine a few healing pills, but I don't have any on me right now. The people in the Munchū who know me don't dare to lend me any. So, I thought I could only borrow some from Uncle-master Du."
"I can lend you some spirit herbs, but you have to tell me what happened first."
Du Shaofu felt that something wasn't right. It could be said that he was fated to meet this guy. Last time, this guy led the way for him, so he owed him a favor. So, it was necessary for him to understand. If he could help him a little, it could be considered as returning the favor.
"Is there even a need to guess? He must have offended someone. That's why he's in such a miserable state."
Qiao Yingmeng said. Seeing that Du Shaofu had come because of an outer sect disciple, she was curious. She followed Du Shaofu back, wanting to watch the show.
"This …"
Gu Zhangyou hesitated for a moment, then looked at Du Shaofu and Qiao Yingmeng and said, "It's the people from the Crouching Tiger Society."
"Crouching Tiger Society."
Du Shaofu's eyes suddenly twitched. He faintly felt that this matter had something to do with him. Back then, he had dealt with Zheng Mingzhou and the others from the Crouching Tiger Society. Perhaps this matter had implicated Gu Zhangyou. He asked, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with me?"
Gu Zhangyou helplessly nodded his head and said to Du Shaofu, "After Martial Uncle Du dealt with the people from the Crouching Tiger Society, they didn't dare to find trouble with me. However, a few days ago, someone said that Yin Mochen, Si Ruofeng, Ji Ouming, and the other senior brothers on the Bronze Rankings would ruthlessly deal with Martial Uncle Du in the Giant Rock Space."
After pausing for a moment, Gu Zhangyou continued, "So, the people from the Crouching Tiger Society also came to find me. They said that I no longer had a backer, so they robbed me of everything I had and even heavily injured me. They also warned everyone I knew that if anyone dared to interact with me, they would end up like me. I can only blame myself for being useless."
As his voice fell, Gu Zhangyou's expression turned gloomy. Although he was a Spirit Talisman Master, his major was Medicine Talisman Master, and his minor was Weapon Talisman Master. However, his talent wasn't high, and he didn't even have much success in the field of alchemy.
Now that he was a Five Star Mysterious Realm cultivator, he often made mistakes when refining pills that had just reached the Spirit Grade. He didn't have any status in the Munchū, and no one even dared to ask him to refine pills. No one could withstand the loss of spirit herbs after a failed pill refinement.
If it wasn't for his identity as a Spirit Talisman Master, he probably wouldn't even have been able to become an outer sect disciple of the Ancient Heaven Sect.
Du Shaofu's expression gradually turned gloomy. He didn't expect this matter to really be caused by him.
"Take this pill."
Du Shaofu handed a healing elixir to Gu Zhangyou and said, "Where is the Crouching Tiger Society? Can you bring me there to take a look?"
Gu Zhangyou hesitated for a moment, then took the pill from Du Shaofu's hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He said to Du Shaofu, "Martial Uncle Du, are you going to stand up for me? If so, there's no need for that. Thank you for your good intentions."
Du Shaofu raised his eyebrows and asked Gu Zhangyou, "Why? Could it be that you're going to endure being bullied by them?"
Qiao Yingmeng glanced at Du Shaofu and interrupted, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Can you really protect this brat forever? In the Munchū, there are countless factions, big and small, and all of them are related to the inner sect disciples. Even if you protect this brat today and help him vent his anger, what about in the future? I'm afraid those people will only get worse."
"Then let's make them not dare to do anything in the future." Du Shaofu said solemnly.
"It's easy for you to say. This is the Munchū. What can you do? If this matter gets out of hand, it won't be good for anyone." Qiao Yingmeng said.
"Senior Sister Qiao is right. Thank you for your good intentions." Gu Zhangyou bitterly smiled at Du Shaofu.
Qiao Yingmeng heard Gu Zhangyou's words and felt that something was wrong. She immediately recovered and said to Gu Zhangyou, "Brat, I'm speaking up for you. Why are you scolding me? You call me Senior Sister, but you call him Martial Uncle. What is the meaning of this?"
"Senior Sister Qiao, I …"
Gu Zhangyou didn't think too much about the complicated relationship. He didn't dare to offend either of them.
"Alright, I can't be bothered to bicker with you."
Qiao Yingmeng ignored Gu Zhangyou and said to Du Shaofu, "If you want to protect this brat, there is a way. You can form a faction. With your influence in the Giant Rock Space, I'm afraid many inner sect disciples will be willing to join you. When the time comes, you'll become a powerful force. It won't be difficult to protect this brat."
Hearing this, Gu Zhangyou looked at Du Shaofu expectantly.
"Forming a faction? I'm afraid I don't have that much time."
Du Shaofu pondered for a moment. Right now, he only wanted to focus on cultivation and become an expert as soon as possible. He probably didn't have that much time to do things like forming a faction.
"I don't need much time. Do you think those fellows on the Gold Ranking, Silver Ranking, and Bronze Ranking have the time to care about those things? It's just a name. Strength is the most important."
Qiao Yingmeng said to Du Shaofu, "If you can have a powerful force, the profits won't be small. There are many outer sect disciples, and the profits from selling pills, spiritual weapons, and Talisman Weapons are shocking."
Du Shaofu's eyes lit up. He seemed to be a little interested. He had also heard that there were more than a hundred thousand outer sect disciples in the Ancient Heaven Sect.
More than a hundred thousand people were all cultivators. The consumption of pills, spiritual weapons, Talisman Weapons, Dao Weapons, cultivation materials, and so on was definitely a huge number.
If he could get involved, the profits would indeed be shocking.
Although it was said that cultivators should cultivate wholeheartedly, without cultivation resources, it would be impossible to cultivate wholeheartedly.
"In the Ancient Heaven Sect, there are more than a hundred thousand outer sect disciples. Those who can become outer sect disciples of the Ancient Heaven Sect are mostly from powerful families. In terms of cultivation resources, they definitely won't be too shabby. The cultivation resources provided by the Munchū are far from enough. This makes the secret trade of cultivation resources even more popular, and the profits are shocking."
Qiao Yingmeng paused for a moment and said to Du Shaofu, "Do you know where the most profitable trading company is in the Ancient Heaven Sect's territory?"
Du Shaofu shook his head. He really didn't know.
"It's in our Ancient Heaven Sect."
Qiao Yingmeng said to Du Shaofu, "As far as I know, the most profitable trading company in the entire Ancient Heaven Sect is in our Ancient Heaven Sect. The people behind it are the fellows on the Gold Ranking."
"The profits are that great?"
Hearing this, Du Shaofu was a little surprised.
"When I saw the reviews, I suddenly realized that Little Yu still owed a chapter two days ago. But yesterday, he only updated normally and didn't pay back that chapter. I'm ashamed. I'll pay back this chapter immediately. Little Yu, go back to writing. Please forgive me. "
