"Looking back, the lingering gaze hasn't gone far, I wouldn't trade this life, it's too hard to separate, being apart makes us braver, may this love be passed down through generations..."
"Boss, great singing!!"
Singing this forever love at Immortal Sword, reminiscing about youth.
Swain had a good sleep, after waking up he even had breakthroughs in the Eight Gates and the Drunken Master's Spell.
"Jing Tian, get paper and a brush."
"Oh, boss, you want to write calligraphy?"
Jing Tian eagerly brought the paper and brush, and told Mao Mao to grind the ink.
Swain looked at the paper and brush and shook his head, "Why are you giving it to me? I want you to write."
Jing Tian didn't understand, "Ah? Me write?"
Swain nodded, "Of course, just write Hu Ge."
Although Jing Tian didn't understand, he still did it. Who knows why the boss suddenly wanted him to write his name.
"Um... Hu... Ge... Okay, boss."
Swain nodded, "Not bad. Pack up and come with me to Tang Family Fort. Mao Mao and Bi Ping, look after the house. Uncle Ding, take charge."
Swain knew that the Five Poison Beast was at the Tang family's place, but he really couldn't remember exactly where. He had to hurry, or it would be hard to find after Tang Kun let the traitor join forces with outsiders to catch it.
When Jing Tian heard that they were going to Tang Family Fort, he specially changed into a newly bought, high-quality robe. Even a fake show of force had to have a proper outfit.
Looking at Jing Tian's showy appearance after changing his clothes, Swain couldn't help but find it funny.
Normal robes have black collars, and various colors for the rest of the cloth. Many of them are yellow, white, and so on.
But Jing Tian's robe was entirely silver-white, decorated with gold, and embroidered with many flower patterns and soaring eagles.
After winning money at the casino last time, Jing Tian had a set of these clothes made overnight. It was all just so he could show off, to declare that he was also a rich man now!
In Swain's eyes, it was tacky, this outfit was extremely tacky.
But as the owner, it seemed he couldn't be outdone by his follower...
Swain transformed in a flash, with black feathers as shoulder pads, dark linen as a cloak, a robe embroidered with dragons and floating clouds, and boots that seemed to walk on wind.
At first glance, he looked like a heavenly general.
He overshadowed Jing Tian's shiny clothes.
Jing Tian couldn't help but think, the boss is indeed the boss. His own nouveau riche style just couldn't compare to the boss's taste.
"Let's go, Jing Tian, follow me to set off."
Just as the two opened the door, they saw Xu Changqing, dressed in simple white, standing outside the door, about to knock.
Oh dear, he had forgotten about him.
Swain pulled out two books of inner power techniques, "Here, take these."
Then he headed straight for the Tang family without looking back.
Damn it, he had almost ruined his chance to show off his cool image, the atmosphere was ruined.
Seeing that the two were ignoring him, Xu Changqing could only smile and take the initiative to ask, "Brother Jing, where are you going? To Tang Family Fort?"
As he spoke, he wanted to take two steps closer, but Jing Tian acted like Xu Changqing had a disease and pulled away a step, "Stay away from me!"
Changqing was confused, "Brother Jing, what does this mean?"
Jing Tian sighed deeply, "Alas, White Tofu, you're a good person, but we're really not suited. My family has been single-line for three generations, and they're still waiting for me to carry on the family line. If you really like Long Yang, I can introduce He Biping to you."
Xu Changqing's face was incredulous, just about to explain, "Brother Jing, listen to me,"
He was interrupted by Jing Tian
"You listen to me, you're so talented, handsome, and a top disciple of Mount Shu, there are plenty of girls waiting for you to choose. Why are you stuck on a male employee of the Yong'an Pawnshop?"
"Brother Jing, listen to me,"
"You listen to me! I know I'm talented, handsome, and rich, so I really am attractive, but we're not meant to be, I like women with curves."
"Brother Jing, I'm not..."
"Alright, White Tofu, I've said my piece. Don't pester me anymore, let's just be friends."
Swain's face was calm, but in reality, he was laughing so hard that he was coughing.
Jing Tian was really bullying an honest person, making Xu Changqing feel unwelcome.
He had just casually said it, but Xu Changqing made it worse by trying to explain it too much, he just couldn't be helped.
Seeing that he couldn't get through to Jing Tian, Xu Changqing could only turn to Swain and ask, "Senior Hu, what's wrong with Brother Jing?"
Swain tried not to laugh, "Nothing, he might have some misunderstanding about you. Is there anything else you need?"
Xu Changqing put away the inner power books, and then smiled again, "I saw that you seem to be heading towards Tang Family Fort, I just wanted to go together."
Swain suddenly realized, "Oh right, what's the name of your elder... right, Youxuan, he should be there helping the Tang family head to recover."
Xu Changqing looked at Swain in surprise, "Senior Hu is indeed wise, even my movements are known so clearly."
Swain could only laugh it off, "It's also for the investigation of the poison people..."
Could he say that he knew the plot?
"Then let's go together, there are some things that can be solved together."
He wondered if he could use soul shards to treat the Tang family head's illness, and if he couldn't, there was nothing he could do. In the world of immortals, fate is determined by heaven.
Swain could shout out "My fate is in my own hands, not heaven's" for himself, but he couldn't do that for someone who was unimportant.
Jing Tian didn't say much, but he deliberately kept a distance from Xu Changqing.
"Brother Jing, you really misunderstand..."
Xu Changqing sighed and didn't explain further.
Mencius said: "The clear are clear, the muddy are muddy."
He believed that Brother Jing would definitely clear up the misunderstanding.
Although Xu Changqing didn't have feelings of love at this time, he was very sure that his sexual orientation was definitely female.
...
Tang Family
"Miss, Miss! Young Master Hu is here!"
Xue Jian's personal maid shouted, Xue Jian, who was staring blankly at a panda, suddenly sat up straight, "What?! Young Master Hu is here? Quickly, quickly help me do my hair, where's the scented powder, Young Master Hu likes a stronger scent, spray more."
The Mount Shu elder Youxuan was using spiritual energy to help Tang Kun by channeling power into him, slowing down the illness.
But it was just a drop in the bucket, for a body that had been ruined to this extent, Mount Shu didn't have a complete cure. If Tang Kun's inner strength wasn't strong, he wouldn't have been able to last until now.
Swain came uninvited, his Sharingan turned, looking at the dissipation of life force and the disorder of inner strength, if they were in the Naruto world, he might still be able to save him, "The Tang family head's body?"
After being treated with spiritual energy, Tang Kun's complexion was better, "It's nothing, it's just an old problem, Young Master Hu must be laughing at me."
"Tang family head, you're too serious. Today I came to give something and ask for something. I wonder if you can agree?"
With the Mount Shu elder present, he couldn't use illusion techniques, he could only take it slowly.
Tang Kun laughed heartily, "Young Master Hu, please speak!"
You call me old man, I call you kid, that's fair, right.
"I have something called soul shards, which has the effect of reviving the dead and rejoining bones, I think it might be able to cure your diabetes."
Swain paused at this point.
Tang Kun understood, it was time to mention what he wanted.
"Speak plainly."
"What I want is the Five Poison Beast. To solve the disaster of these poison people."
Xu Changqing's admiration for Swain in his heart was like a continuous river.
For the sake of the people of Yuzhou City, Senior Hu was actually willing to take out such a precious treasure.
If Swain knew what Xu Changqing was thinking, he would definitely scoff. Were soul shards a treasure? He had plenty of them. But well, for other people, it really was.
Tang Kun hesitated, "This..."
"No!" Tang Tai, the Tang family butler, entered from outside and loudly denied.
"The Five Poison Beast is our Tang family's treasure, how can we..."
Swain's eyes were cold, this guy was showing off in front of him.
A pair of turning Mangekyou Sharingan brought Tang Tai into his beautiful dream.
Thump
Tang Tai fell to the ground.
Swain chuckled, "Your Tang family's third elder seems to be sick."
Youxuan and Xu Changqing frowned, but didn't say anything. Although Swain's method was extreme, it was reasonable in this situation concerning the people of Yuzhou City.
"It's... not that I'm unwilling to let you borrow it, it's just that the Five Poison Beast is very weak. If it's used forcefully, it's very likely to lose its spirituality and become an ordinary potato."
Things were developing smoothly, "It's good that the Tang family head is willing to agree, I have my own way to help the Five Poison Beast grow."
With that, Swain condensed a palm-sized piece of soul shards from his right hand.
The soul shards were dark red and looked poisonous. As soon as Tang Kun held them, he felt his diabetes being suppressed, his white hair turning black, and his body becoming much stronger.
If he had more of these, he could live for at least three more years. It was a pity that if there were more of these treasures, he might really be able to die of old age...
Elder Youxuan couldn't help but feel admiration. To give away such a treasure without changing expression, he truly had the heart of a hero, deeply understanding righteousness. He couldn't help but offer a respectful salute, "This humble priest thanks the young master for his righteousness on behalf of the people of Yuzhou City."
Swain just stood there and accepted the salute.
Seeing this, Xu Changqing first helped his fourth master up, and then bowed deeply to Swain, "Senior Hu is truly a benefactor of the people."
After a long while, Xu Changqing didn't get up, Jing Tian reminded him, "Hey, White Tofu, stop thanking him, let's get to the main thing."
Tang Kun recovered from the comfortable sensation, "This is, Jing Tian, right."
Tang Kun knew Jing Tian, because he was friends with Jing Tian's father.
He looked much better now that he was following Young Master Hu.
But Jing Tian didn't know, and thought that Tang Kun remembered him because he was beaten by Xue Jian last time, he blushed shyly, "Tang family head, don't mention what happened last time."
Tang Kun was stunned, and then laughed loudly, "Hahaha!"
Swain was also laughing along. Xu Changqing and Youxuan looked confused.
They weren't there and didn't know what happened.
"Brother Jing, I wonder what they're laughing at?"
Jing Tian turned his head away, "Don't ask me." It wasn't something to be proud of, being pinned to the ground and beaten by a little girl.
Tang Xue Jian heard the laughter inside the room from outside. Was her grandfather getting along so well with Young Master Hu? Great!
"Grandpa! What's so happy? Young Master Hu! Hero Changqing, Elder."
She greeted everyone, but her eyes were very affectionate towards Swain.
No one knows a son like his father, and no one knows a grandchild like his grandfather.
How could Tang Kun, this old pro, not see through Xue Jian's thoughts.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Young Master Hu, what do you think of Xue Jian?"
Swain casually replied, "Not bad, she's beautiful and well-behaved."
It was just polite small talk, everyone present knew that Xue Jian was arrogant and rude.
Tang Kun asked again, "Does Young Master Hu have a spouse in his hometown, Kaifeng?"
Swain frowned, Kaifeng was just a lie, why would he ask that, was he testing him, "No, I haven't."
Xue Jian and Tang Kun were overjoyed when they heard this, "Then would you be willing to marry Xue Jian? It just so happens that our Tang family's Five Poison Beast is only passed down to successive family heads, in that case, you don't need to borrow it, you can just have it legitimately."
Swain felt like he had been struck by lightning. What? He just wanted to borrow a Five Poison Beast, how did they start talking about marriage?
Fortunately, he brought Jing Tian along...
"Tang family head, you're joking, Xue Jian's destined person is someone she can see as soon as she looks up, that's not me. On the contrary, I think that Miss Tang and Jing Tian are in love with each other, a match made in heaven."
Tang Xue Jian couldn't believe her ears, "Young Master Hu, you..."
Jing Tian couldn't believe his ears, "Wow, boss! That's too much, how did you see that we're a match made in heaven?"
Tang Xue Jian didn't get angry at Swain, but she was blunt with Jing Tian, "You bastard! Who's a match made in heaven with you!"
Jing Tian immediately became unhappy, "Hey, hey, I wasn't the one who said it, whoever said it, go find them."
"Hmm?!"
"Nothing, boss, you guys continue, I suddenly remembered that I haven't taken in the laundry yet, I'll go back first."
He had to run now! If he didn't, he would be sold off by his boss!
Seeing this, Tang Kun couldn't help but sigh, it was a sad pity, fate could not be forced.
"Young Master Hu, please come with me to get the Five Poison Beast."
The Tang family's Five Poison Beast was Hua Ying, after eighty years of cultivation to become human, she wanted to enter the mortal world. Because she was simple-minded and unworldly, others found out that she had the ability to read minds, and she was driven out by humans. Later, she was imprisoned and raised by the Tang family to refine the Five Poison Pearl.
It was a huge opportunity for the Tang family.
Wearing the Five Poison Pearl meant immunity to all poisons, and after taking it out, the Five Poison Beast could breed again.
Natural species were already rare.
The records of Mount Shu only showed one appearance 800 years ago.
In the secret passage of Hundred Poison Building
Swain saw a small potato being constantly irrigated by underground spiritual energy.
No wonder Tang Kun said the Five Poison Beast was weak. They should have taken out the Five Poison Pearl. If Hua Ying's cultivation wasn't high, they would have caused it to die.
Swain couldn't help but say, "Your Tang family is quite ruthless to her, old man."
Tang Kun smiled awkwardly.
"I wonder what method Young Master Hu has to help her regain her strength?"
"It's very simple."
The Five Poison Beast belonged to the plant spirit species, and Swain also knew a little about Wood Release and the power of nature.
He put his hands together, and a burst of rich Wood Release Chakra slowly appeared from Swain's body.
Hua Ying was awakened by this feeling of kinship.
"Cheep, cheep?"
Hua Ying's Five Poison Beast form was like a pear, yellow body with three pairs of green leaf-shaped wings.
Flying was fun, she flew towards Swain's palm.
She especially liked the smell on Swain's body.
Of course, she liked the Wood Release Chakra in Swain's hand even more.
After flying around a few times, Swain stopped the supply of Chakra.
Hua Ying transformed, turning into a cute girl under the starlight, sweetly calling out to Swain, "Master!"
Swain helplessly looked at Tang Kun, "Tang old man, this isn't my fault."
Tang Kun sighed, "Forget it, our Tang family has imprisoned her for so long, so I'll just give her to Young Master Hu."
Was he so generous?
If the person in front of him wasn't Tang Kun, Swain would definitely think there was a conspiracy, but since it was Tang Kun, he didn't have to worry about anything.
The original story's evaluation of Tang Kun, benevolent and short-lived. He was an extremely righteous man.
"Then I won't refuse, I still have half a share of soul shards, consider it my return gift to the Tang old man."
Swain condensed a little more soul shards and sent it into Tang Kun's body.
Tang Kun was very grateful.
Being able to live, to live healthily, was more important than the Five Poison Beast. If he died, the Tang family would be scattered.
With Tang Tai, who cast a covetous eye on the Five Poison Beast, and Tang Yi, who joined forces with Luo Ru Lie.
And the Tang Zhi Ruo and others who were losing heart...
What a pity, what a pity, if Hu Ge could really be with Xue Jian, why would he worry about the Tang family's decline.
...
The two exited the secret passage
Hua Ying timidly followed behind Swain. When Tang Xue Jian saw Hua Ying following Swain, her heart was struck hard, clear tears were about to fall, and she ran out of the door.
Seeing this, Tang Kun couldn't help but sigh again.
Youxuan was knowledgeable, "It's rare for the Five Poison Beast to cultivate into human form, congratulations to Young Master Hu on getting a special beast."
Swain didn't care, he wasn't afraid of poison anyway.
Hua Ying was now carefully tugging at his clothes behind him, Swain turned around, "What's wrong, little potato?"
"Master, that girl, I can't read her mind."
Swain wasn't surprised, it's the fruit of the Divine Tree, how could you read her, "It's alright, she's not a bad person, she's just too small."
"Master, I can't read your mind either."
Hua Ying's ability to read minds made many people afraid, but it just so happened that none of the people in the room at this time were afraid.
Xu Changqing was upright, Youxuan didn't have any secrets, except for Xie Jian Xian, but he wasn't thinking about those things at this time.
Tang Kun's heart was set on the Tang family and Xue Jian, and he didn't have any shameful secrets either.
"Elder Youxuan, did Head Qing Wei tell you about me?"
Youxuan nodded and shook his head, "Head Master only said to make it as easy as possible for the young master. Nothing more than that."
Xu Changqing also nodded.
Five Poison Beast dealt with
The next step was the mother poison person, Wen Xuan's mom.
There was a game streamer I liked who was bald, his name was also Wen Xuan...
Tang Kun still wanted to keep the three for a feast, but they were all busy ending the poison person incident as soon as possible, giving the people of Yuzhou City peace.
Swain returned to Yong'an Pawnshop, waiting for Xu Changqing and the others to catch the mother.
Before leaving, he told them that the Thunderbolt Hall's headquarters was under the Da Sanyuan casino.
If they couldn't even complete this task, then Mount Shu shouldn't even exist.
They would lose all face.
Swain glanced at Yong'an Pawnshop, Jing Tian was packing his things, and so was Mao Mao.
Was Xue Jian so scary?
"I say, Jing Tian, are you really that scared of that Tang family miss?"
"What do you know, if anyone was to marry that pig, they would have three generations of bad luck, be cut off from their descendants, and die young."
Swain could only say, Fei Peng was indeed Fei Peng, he was very mean to himself.
"Bo, boss?! What brings you here?"
"Alright, stop packing your bags, it's not like Tang Xue Jian really wants to marry you."
Jing Tian smiled shyly, "Of course not, it's not because of her."
"Then why?"
"I bought a house next to Yong'an Pawnshop, to live with Mao Mao."
That's right, now Jing Tian was a low-profile rich man, after all, Swain's jade pendant was worth more than 20 Jin of gold.
"Go, go. Are you planning to quit your job at Yong'an Pawnshop?"
The moment Jing Tian heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing, stood up with a whoosh, "Who said that! I'm loyal to the bone to the boss! No one can sow discord. I'd rather die in this stinky place."
Swain was speechless, "You better die somewhere else."
Hua Ying suddenly frowned, "Master, there are many poison people coming here."
