Lu Fengxian helped Chen Tong up and let him sit down. Then, he asked, "What happened to your Chen Clan? Don't worry, I won't refuse if I can help you. "
Chen Tong quickly said, "It's like this. Our Chen Clan bought a batch of secret boxes some time ago. They were all substandard products with unknown origins. We didn't expect to find anything good in them. They were supposed to be used as a gift for my father's sixtieth birthday.
But who would have thought that there was a Sixth Revolution Spirit Herb Purple Leaf Dogwood in that batch of secret boxes? Moreover, it was spread by the servants of our Chen Clan.
After this matter was spread out, several major forces around Cold River Prefecture, including Three Mountains Sect, Black Tiger Gang, and Yu Clan all wanted to snatch it.
If it weren't for these three forces being wary of each other, I'm afraid our Chen Clan would have been finished long ago! "
When Lu Fengxian heard this, he directly held the silver halberd next to him and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry. I can't kill all the people from these three forces, but I'm confident that I can protect your Chen Clan from them."
As he said this, Lu Fengxian was about to get up, but Chen Tong quickly held him down and said, "Elder Brother Lu, each of those three forces has more than one Xiantian expert. We can't fight them head-on. I came to ask Elder Brother Lu for help. I heard that Nie Dongliu, the young master of that place, is extremely righteous. So, I want Elder Brother Lu to help us invite Young Master Nie Dongliu. As long as he says the word, this matter should be solved."
Lv Fengxian didn't think too much and was about to agree when Chu Xiu suddenly frowned when he heard Nie Dongliu's name. He pressed down on Lv Fengxian's arm and suddenly asked, "Brother, since you want to invite Nie Dongliu from the Moribund Manor, why don't you go yourself? Why do you need to trouble Elder Brother Lu? "
Seeing that Chu Xiu suddenly interrupted, Chen Tong was also a little displeased.
However, Chu Xiu was a Xiantian expert, while he was only at the Blood Condensation realm. Furthermore, it seemed Chu Xiu was also Lu Fengxian's friend, so he could only say, "My Chen family is only a small family. Although my father is a Xiantian expert, those three families want the Violet Dogwood, so they definitely won't let my father leave.
Even when I left this time, I had to use the excuse of going to the other prefectures to collect debts. Only after being searched by the people of the three clans did they allow me to leave the Cold River Prefecture. Therefore, my Chen Clan has actually been placed under house arrest by the three clans. Not even a single servant can leave the Cold River Prefecture easily.
But with my meager strength and reputation, I'm afraid I won't even be able to meet Young Master Nie Dongliu. But Big Brother Lu is different. Who doesn't know the name Young Marquis Wen in the West of Yan? Big Brother Lu reached the Xiantian realm at such a young age. I heard that Young Master Nie Dongliu likes to make friends with the young geniuses of Jianghu the most. If Big Brother Lu wants to meet him, he will definitely meet him. "
Chu Xiu secretly sneered and gave Lu Fengxian a look, indicating that he should temporarily not agree.
Lu Fengxian didn't know what Chu Xiu's intentions were, but although he had only known Chu Xiu for two days, he knew that Chu Xiu wasn't a person who would do nothing for no reason. There must be a deeper meaning behind his actions. Therefore, Lu Fengxian said to Chen Tong, "Brother Chen, since those three clans won't make a move for the time being, you can stay here for a day. I still have some matters to take care of in Lu Yang Town. Once I'm done, I'll immediately go help you."
When Lu Fengxian said so, Chen Tong could only nod and agree. After all, he was asking for help. No matter how good Lu Fengxian's temper was, he couldn't force Lu Fengxian.
After Chen Tong left, Lu Fengxian pulled Chu Xiu to a corner and asked, "Brother Chu, why did you stop me just now?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Is Chen Tong your friend? But I think there's something wrong with Chen Tong. You treat him as a friend, but he doesn't treat you as a friend. "
Lu Fengxian was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say so?"
Chu Xiu said faintly, "It's very simple. Those three clans just want the treasure. A man's wealth is his own ruin. Chen Tong just handed over the treasure directly. He doesn't have the strength, but he wants to keep the treasure and drag you, his friend, down with him. Has he ever considered you as a friend? Also, he insisted that you go to the Morgue Manor to help. Even if the people of the Morgue Manor will help in the end, you should know that he will benefit in the end, but the one who owes the Morgue Manor a favor is you, Brother Lu! "
Seeing Chen Tong just now, Chu Xiu remembered something. It seemed that in the original plot, Nie Dongliu and Lu Fengxian were also good friends, and they had a good relationship. But in the end, Nie Dongliu cheated Lu Fengxian.
In the original plot, Lu Fengxian helped Nie Dongliu get the secret treasure left by the Kunlun Devil Cult.
A thousand years ago, the Kunlun Devil Cult's demonic flames were monstrous and suppressed the world. If it weren't for the number one person in Taoism, Immortal Ning Xuanji, the Sect Master of the True Martial Arts Sect, fighting with Dugu Weiwei, the Jianghu would still be shrouded in this monstrous demonic power at this time.
Therefore, people in Jianghu could tolerate the Diabolism, but they were extremely sensitive to the words "Kunlun Devil Cult". Even if Nie Dongliu was the young master of the Morgue Manor, if he got the secret treasure of the Kunlun Devil Cult, unless he handed it over, he would still be attacked by others.
In the end, Nie Dongliu used Lu Fengxian and made him bear the crime. In the end, Lu Fengxian was chased by the righteous martial arts world for several years, suffering in silence.
But it was also because of that time that Lu Fengxian got the inheritance of the Devil God Lv Wenhou while being chased, and became famous in Jianghu. He didn't know if Nie Dongliu regretted the decision he made back then, pushing away a future strong person who was on his side with his own hands.
Thinking about what happened today, Chu Xiu more or less knew what had happened.
Lu Fengxian and Nie Dongliu probably got to know each other because of this. Lu Fengxian went to Nie Dongliu for help, and as the young master of the Morgue Manor, Nie Dongliu naturally wouldn't refuse such a simple request.
But at that time, Nie Dongliu probably didn't care much about Lu Fengxian, because Lu Fengxian was only in the Innate Realm. Although she was young, it wasn't unusual.
And with Lu Fengxian's personality, if Nie Dongliu helped him, he would definitely help Nie Dongliu. That was why he was willing to take the blame for Nie Dongliu later on. Even when he was being chased, he didn't give up on Nie Dongliu.
Of course, Lu Fengxian wasn't an idiot. After that incident, the two of them went their separate ways.
Lu Fengxian's personality was like this. He was too trusting of others, and only learned his lesson after suffering once. Unfortunately, he narrowly escaped death every time, so he was lucky.
Since Nie Dongliu intervened in the feud between him and Zhang Baitao, Chu Xiu didn't mind poaching him now, so that they wouldn't have the chance to stand on the same side anymore.
As for whether Lu Fengxian would miss out on Marquis Lü's inheritance because of this, Chu Xiu wasn't worried.
Marquis Lü's inheritance was simply prepared for Lu Fengxian. In the entire Jianghu, except for Lu Fengxian, it was almost impossible for anyone else to get it.
If this incident really affected Lu Fengxian, then Chu Xiu only needed to tell Lu Fengxian a location, and the inheritance would definitely fall into Lu Fengxian's hands.
On the other side, Lu Fengxian was also a little hesitant about what Chu Xiu said.
Although Chu Xiu's words made sense, Lu Fengxian still didn't want to think badly of his friend.
He said hesitantly, "After all, he opened the treasure himself. It is normal that he doesn't want to hand it over. Also, it is just a favor. I can afford to owe him."
Chu Xiu sneered. "Brother Lu, you think too simply. It is not so easy to owe favors from the morgue village. Do you know why the Ba Mountain Sword Sect disciples were able to find three people to kill me in the Northern Yan? It was because the young master of the morgue village was the middleman! You owe the morgue village a favor. In the future, if the young master wants you to return the favor, but he asks you to do something you don't want to do, will you return it or not? "
Lu Fengxian frowned. His personality was like this. He would repay kindness with kindness and enmity with enmity. It was impossible for other people to threaten him, but if they used favors to bind him, he couldn't refuse.
Also, Lu Fengxian really hadn't thought that the reputable young master of the morgue village would do something like pimping. Even if Nie Dongliu personally helped Zhang Baitao get revenge, he would think highly of Nie Dongliu.
But Lu Fengxian still felt conflicted. Chen Tong was his good friend. If he directly refused, it would not be good.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Brother Lu, I have not known you for long. Even if some things are not appropriate, I still have to say them.
The so-called brotherhood in the jianghu is mostly unreliable. The only things that can maintain the so-called brotherhood are power and profit.
Because you are in Connate and have some fame in Yan Xi, that Chen Tong will come to ask you. Otherwise, if you are a nameless person, he may not even bother to make friends with you. "
Lu Fengxian felt that some of Chu Xiu's ideas were a bit too extreme. But he still smiled and said, "Brother Chu, are you telling me this because of profit?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's just a casual chat. It's because I have no profit relationship with you that I'm telling you this."
However, at this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly changed the topic and said, "Brother Lu, if you want to handle this matter properly, why don't you leave it to me? You can also take the opportunity to see if that friend of yours is really asking you for help or using you."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Lu Fengxian immediately became serious and said, "Brother Chu, you said before that you are not a nosy person, and you don't believe in the so-called brotherhood in the jianghu. Why do you suddenly want to interfere in this matter?"
The corner of Chu Xiu's mouth showed a trace of a smile and said, "The lie is that Brother Lu and I feel like old friends at first sight. I can't bear to see you being deceived by a villain, so I came to help you.
As for the truth, the Purple Leaf Dogwood is a Sixth Revolution Spirit Medicine. Even if it is not refined into a pill, its medicinal power is extremely amazing. If those small sects want it, I also want it.
This time, I'll help you test the waters. If that Chen Tong doesn't have the intention to use you, then I'll have helped you in vain. If that Chen Tong really has such intentions, then we'll split the Purple Dogwood in half. No one will suffer a loss. What do you think? "
