After a short while, they arrived at the Bone Spirit Sect's main hall. A middle-aged barbarian cultivator in his forties with a long beard was already waiting in the hall. He seemed to be the Sect Leader of the Bone Spirit Sect. His cultivation was at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Behind him stood a barbarian man and a woman. Both of them looked to be in their twenties and were dressed in barbarian clothing. The man looked valiant and the woman looked delicate, but her eyes were seductive. She kept staring at Ye Kong's face.
"Thank you, Lu Family Brother and Sister. This Old Man is the Sect Leader of the Bone Spirit Sect, Xia Hai. These are my son and daughter." Xia Hai introduced them politely and gestured for Ye Kong and Lian Ruolan to sit down.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Xia. It's every cultivator's duty to help in the face of injustice." Ye Kong and Lian Ruolan also bowed and sat down. Seeing that the Sect Leader was so approachable, Ye Kong felt a lot closer to him.
When Ye Kong and Lian Ruolan sat down, a boy served them tea. Zheng Zhidong and his wife also sat down. Then, everyone went straight to the point and talked about the Spirit Spring.
Xia Hai said angrily, "The Bone Spirit Sect is too much. They know that there are no powerful cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm in the Bone Spirit Sect, so they came up with such a bad idea." He slammed the table angrily and paused for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, God helped me and sent you two here. Your cultivation is not high, but your magic power is very strong."
"You're flattering me." Ye Kong modestly said: "Actually, us siblings are loose cultivators, we are only slightly more powerful because of our magic tools. If Sect Leader Spiritual Master were to equip your sect's cultivators with a middle-grade or high-grade magic tool, they would definitely have the same power.
Xia Hai smiled and said, "Where did you get so many middle-grade magic tools? Even This Old Man only has one middle-grade magic tool."
Ye Kong nodded. It seemed that the Bone Spirit Sect was quite poor. Then, he heard Xia Hai ask, "May I ask if you two are really Rogue Cultivators?"
"Of course." Ye Kong thought to himself. If we weren't Loose Cultivators, would you have allowed us to participate in the robbery? To dispel Xiahai's suspicions, he added, "My sister and I like to explore deserted caves. It was by chance that we found a few powerful artifacts."
"Oh, so that's how it is." The cultivators of the Bone Spirit Sect, including Xia Hai, all looked envious.
Xia Hai asked directly, "May I know if the two of you are willing to join our Bone Spirit Sect?"
Ye Kong didn't even think before replying, "Of course you can, but … what about the Spirit Spring?"
Ye Kong's question was very straightforward. "Your Bone Spirit Sect is poor. If you want to join me, of course, you are here for the spiritual spring. If you appear to be too generous, then you are lying."
"Looks like little friend Lu Jun is a straightforward person." Xia Hai laughed and said, "The spiritual spring depends on the two of you. If you can't get it, or if you die in the cave, then it's fate, and you can't blame anyone. If you get one cup, it belongs to little friend Lu Jun. If you get two cups, you have to give one to us, and so on."
"Oh, I see!" Ye Kong was a little surprised by Xia Hai's generosity. According to him, if he got five cups, then he could keep three. Xia Hai had guarded the Spirit Spring for a hundred years, and now he wanted to give him three cups. It was indeed sincere.
Xia Hai noticed Ye Kong's surprise. Afraid that he did not believe him, he explained, "If it weren't for the two of you, the Bone Spirit Sect would have been completely annihilated. So we are already very satisfied with the two cups."
Xia Hai's sincerity made Ye Kong and Lian Ruolan look at each other. Both of them felt that they could agree. In fact, everyone knew that joining the Bone Spirit Sect was just a pretense. Ye Kong and Lian Ruolan were hired thugs by the Bone Spirit Sect. Once they got the spiritual spring, everyone would go their separate ways. Ye Kong thought so, but did Xia Hai think so too?
"That's good. Then my sister and I will join the Bone Spirit Sect." Ye Kong nodded and smiled.
Hearing Ye Kong's agreement, the Bone Spirit Sect's people showed a satisfied smile. The Sect Leader's daughter even started to flirt with Ye Kong.
But at this time, Xia Hai suddenly said, "But … how can the two of you guarantee that you will return the remaining two cups to us? As the saying goes, one must always be vigilant. If the two of you get the five cups and then leave, the Bone Spirit Sect will suffer a double loss. "
Ye Kong waved his hand and said, "That's not a problem. First of all, my sister and I can guarantee our credibility. Also, you can wait outside the cave. Once we come out, we will return what we owe you."
Xia Hai shook his head. "Everyone is greedy. Moreover, if everyone wants to fight, and the Bone Spirit Sect will laugh at us … This Old Man has an idea."
"Please tell me."
"This Old Man has a son and a daughter who are not bad. So, I want to be a matchmaker for the two of you. Since the two of you have joined the Bone Spirit Sect, you can marry my daughter and …"
Before Xia Hai could finish, Ye Kong quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, absolutely not."
Are you kidding me? You want me to marry your daughter for free? Even I have to check if she is a virgin, not to mention marrying Lian Ruolan to your son? I can't agree even if I don't want the spiritual spring.
Hearing Ye Kong's resolute refusal, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned cold. Xia Hai squeezed out a smile and said, "Little Friend Lu, why don't you think about it? My daughter's cultivation is higher than yours. Why can't you refuse? Little Friend Lu, are you looking down on the Bone Spirit Sect or Xia Hai? "
"Damn it! I really look down on you and your Bone Spirit Sect!"
Ye Kong shook his head and said, "Sect Leader Xia, I already have a wife, and my sister has a future cultivation companion. So, this is not up for discussion. Please, Sect Leader Xia, think of another way."
As soon as Ye Kong finished speaking, Xia Hai's son immediately rushed forward and pointed at Ye Kong. "Brat! Open your eyes and see, with your cultivation level of Qi Refinement Stage, how can you find a good cultivation companion? If it weren't for the fact that you have a few mid-grade magic artifacts, my sister would never marry you! "
"Yes, I know that my cultivation level is very low. To prevent everyone from regretting it in the future, it's better not to mention this matter … Besides, my sister will not be interested in your cultivation level. "Ye Kong fiercely despised the kid. You want to marry Lian Ruolan? Dream on!
Xia Hai's son sneered and said, "That's not up to you. If you really don't want to marry my sister, that's fine. But your sister … I have no choice but to marry her!"
Ye Kong snorted and put down the teacup in his hand. "I'll give you five words: dream on!"
At this point, there was nothing more to be said.
When Ye Kong finished speaking, he stood up and cupped his hands. "Sect Leader Xia, if that's the case, I don't want the spiritual spring anymore. My sister and I will not disturb you any further. Goodbye!"
Xia Hai sneered and said, "You want to leave? Sure, but leave all your magic artifacts behind! "
Ye Kong finally understood that Sect Leader Xia did not have any good intentions from the beginning. He wanted to use marriage to trap Ye Kong and Lian Ruolan here. If he did not succeed, then he would openly rob them.
