Fa Yuan pondered.
Chu Li said, "If you don't want to trade, then forget it. I'll just throw Zhou Lingfeng to the Li Dynasty. I believe the Holy Church of Light will be able to capture him and suppress him … Before he's captured, he'll be able to kill a bunch of elites from the Li Dynasty. It'll be the best use of him!"
Fa Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Wrong!"
"Wrong is the Tempest Temple!" Chu Li scoffed, "If the Tempest Temple really sealed the Asura Power Technique, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Look at how many innocent people he's killed. Constable, Imperial Inspector, we won't pursue this further. If not, how are you going to compensate for it!"
Chu Li waved his hand again, "Don't tell me he's not a disciple of the Tempest Temple. It doesn't matter if he is or not. It's the Tempest Temple that spread the martial arts. You'll have to bear the consequences of the killings."
Fa Yuan shook his head and sighed, "If that's the case, then every predecessor who created the martial arts has committed a grave sin."
Chu Li said, "How is that the same? Anyway, does the Tempest Temple want to trade?"
"… We can trade," Fa Yuan said slowly.
He was afraid that Chu Li would really do that.
Zhou Lingfeng who cultivated the Body of Asura was a source of trouble. If he continued to cultivate and become stronger, the Tempest Temple would be the first to bear the brunt. They couldn't just ignore him. Moreover, his father was a disciple of the Tempest Temple.
Chu Li slammed the table and smiled, "Good!"
Fa Yuan sighed.
The situation was stronger than the person. With Zhou Lingfeng in his hands, the Tempest Temple was in a passive position.
Chu Li asked, "How many Secret Guardians do you have?"
"This …" Fa Yuan said, "Monks don't lie. We can use two Secret Guardians to trade."
Chu Li's hand stopped moving. He said unhappily, "Two? Forget it, I'll just throw Zhou Lingfeng to the Li Dynasty! "
"One for two, that's not a bad deal," Fa Yuan said.
Chu Li replied, "Exchanging one for two, you sure know how to calculate. You brought the ten Secret Guardians together to fight Zhou Lingfeng. Do you think you can beat him? … Not to mention ten, even twenty, can they beat him? "
Fa Yuan shook his head slowly, "I'm afraid not."
"Then isn't it a joke for the Tempest Temple to exchange one for two?" Chu Li scoffed, "How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. Just return all ten secret guardians and I won't take the rest. Logically speaking, one Zhou Lingfeng has more than ten secret guardians! Especially to the Tempest Temple. You're raising ten people for nothing, but you can get one Zhou Lingfeng back. That's a great deal! "
"Ten …" Fa Yuan shook his head. "How can there be so many!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that you've killed him before?"
Fa Yuan shook his head. "One of them has already passed away."
Chu Li's face darkened.
The sound of the zither also sank into a low pitch, and the air seemed to freeze.
The pretty maid only felt that it was difficult to breathe. Han Fei also felt Chu Li's anger.
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together and said, "This is definitely not the doing of our temple. This person has reached the end of his life and passed away peacefully."
"You've reached the end of your lifespan? How old are you?" Chu Li asked coldly.
"One hundred and forty-two years old," Fa Yuan shook his head and sighed. "Our temple even chanted scriptures for this almsgiver, we treat everyone equally!"
Chu Li scoffed. "You didn't kill him?"
Fa Yuan said lightly, "Our temple wouldn't go so far as to kill him!"
Chu Li shook his head. "He died in your hands anyway! … Nine people, plus a bottle of twenty Adversity Surpassing Pills. "
"Almsgiver Chu, you're asking for too much. Impossible." Fa Yuan shook his head.
Chu Li said, "Is Zhou Lingfeng not worth this? If it's not worth it, then forget it. You're raising those secret guardians anyway, nothing will happen to them. We're not in a hurry either. Even if they come back, they won't be of any use. "
"Almsgiver Chu, why are you joking with me? These secret guardians are all elites and talented, or else they wouldn't have come to our temple, "Fa Yuan said calmly.
"If they were really that powerful, they wouldn't have fallen into your hands."
"If it wasn't for our strict security, they would have succeeded."
"Then ten Adversity Surpassing Pills it is, no less, or else we'll go our separate ways," Chu Li said in a low voice. "Fa Yuan, I won't say it again!"
His eyes were bright as he stared straight at Fa Yuan.
Fa Yuan looked back at him calmly.
Their gazes collided in the air, like two floods crashing against each other, trying to change the direction of the other.
Han Fei listened to the sound of the guzheng and watched the most outstanding disciple of the Tempest Temple bargain with Head Chief Chu like a commoner. He found it very interesting.
After a while, Fa Yuan slowly pressed his palms together. "Fine, we'll do as you say, Almsgiver Chu!"
Chu Li looked unhappy. "It should be twenty Adversity Surpassing Pills!"
He was very happy. The Adversity Surpassing Pill was good stuff, it had the same effect as the Spirit Blessing Pill, it was a medicine that could bring the dead back to life.
Fa Yuan said, "These ten Adversity Surpassing Pills are for me, our temple will only give them to the nine secret guardians."
Chu Li shook his head. "The Tempest Temple is too stingy! … Tomorrow, we'll hand them over at the east gate of the Fairy's Capital. "
Fa Yuan slowly nodded.
The sound of the guzheng stopped. Han Fei laughed. "Come, come, both of you should moisten your throats, haha!"
"Almsgiver Han, I'm sorry," Fa Yuan pressed his palms together.
Han Fei waved his hand. "It's quite interesting."
Bi Lan stood up gracefully and walked over to Han Fei before sitting down gracefully.
Han Fei laughed. "Come, let's drink! Does Master Fa Yuan abstain from alcohol? "
"Yes, I'm fine," Fa Yuan held up his silver cup.
Han Fei turned his head and smiled. "Master Fa Yuan, I can't help you find a lady. Brother Chu, I've found one for you."
Chu Li laughed.
Han Fei said, "Bi Lan, take care of Miss Yu Qing."
"Yes," Bi Lan pursed her lips and smiled.
She nodded at the maid.
The pretty maid walked out quietly.
Chu Li did not refuse. It would be inappropriate to be alone in the Verdant Cloud Brothel. Moreover, Han Fei had Bi Lan by his side. If he insisted on not having a lady, Han Fei would lose face.
Chu Li looked at Fa Yuan. "Fa Yuan, the Holy Church of Light killed a minister counsellor and attracted the attention of the Secret Guardians Hall because they obtained the second half of the Scripture of Great Light. Does the Tempest Temple know about this?"
Fa Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Chu Li sighed. "It seems that the Tempest Temple doesn't know about this."
Fa Yuan shook his head. "The second half of the Scripture of Great Light …"
His face, which had always been calm, gradually turned serious.
As the most outstanding person of the younger generation, he knew more about the secrets of the martial arts world than ordinary people. He knew about the Scripture of Great Light.
Chu Li said, "They are already so powerful with only the first half. I wonder what will happen if they obtain the second half. The Tempest Temple should be more cautious."
"Thank you, Almsgiver Chu," Fa Yuan pressed his palms together and bowed with a serious expression.
This was extremely important news to the Tempest Temple.
He liked to interact with Chu Li because of this. He would always gain something and would not let himself return empty-handed.
Chu Li knew the importance of reciprocity. To gain something, one must first give something.
"My Lady, Miss Yu Qing is here," the maid reported from outside.
