I am the one running the game

Chapter 451 Look how competent I am as a treasure delivery boy, and I even got some money back
For several days, there was no trace of Hanba.

Gao Zheng tried his best at the beginning, but as the high temperature and drought did not come, he gradually relaxed.

As a result, all kinds of high-intensity searches in Jiangyin City gradually came to a halt, becoming just an occasional effort to maintain appearances.

On the contrary, Xu Yi was almost going crazy. The rewards he had signed in these days were quite ordinary, and there was no clue related to Hanba at all. For a moment, he even doubted whether he had missed Hanba.

However, the aura of the drought demon has been lingering in the city and has not left.

As time went by, his confidence gradually disappeared. He thought that Hanba was just being mysterious and the breath he left behind was just to delay him.

During this period, he also realized that Gao Zheng seemed to have other intentions towards him and always wanted to control him.

He really didn't think about it one or two times, but after it happened too many times, it was inevitable that flaws would be exposed. In addition, he also had the sign-in system to remind him from time to time, so he soon came to his senses.

"No, we can't go on like this. Let's investigate again tonight. If nothing is found, we have to leave Jiangyin Prefecture." Xu Yi was also anxious.

Now he felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have gone to capture the drought demon first. It would not be too late to come back and enjoy the beauty after he succeeded.

But it has already happened, and it is too late to regret.

"What do you think, system?" Xu Yi found that the sign-in system did not answer him.

[I think you still have to calm down and search slowly. Even if you leave Jiangyin Prefecture, without any clues about Hanba, what's the difference between you and a headless fly?]

The sign-in system gave another piece of advice.

"What's the point of staying here? You're still being fooled." Xu Yi's face was not very good. He asked this question not to really seek the opinion of the sign-in system, but to gain the other party's approval.

So he was very dissatisfied with the answer from the sign-in system.

[You are the host, and your decision is the correct one. My opinion can only be used as a reference.]

In response, the sign-in system said that you are right and did not continue to argue with Xu Yi. Over the past few days, the sign-in system has understood Xu Yi's stubbornness, just like the four beauties who will not give up even if the sky falls.

Now that you have made a choice, you have to bear the consequences yourself.

I am just an intelligent system, unable to interfere with the outside world or the sign-in rewards. It would be fine if there was an internet connection, but now that the internet is disconnected, it is basically the same as being useless.

After hearing what the sign-in system said, Xu Yi's expression finally relaxed.

He only wanted to hear what he wanted to hear. Although he was not satisfied with what the sign-in system said, it still focused on him after all, so he felt relieved.

"Let's go and say goodbye to Gao Zheng first. Although he has other intentions, he has been very hospitable to us these days."

"It would be too rude to just leave like that." Xu Yi licked his lips, recalling the different tastes every night as well as the various delicacies, wines and beauties, which really made him linger.

If Xu Yi hadn't realized that Gao Zheng wanted to control him, he might not have left immediately. After all, he would have to enjoy himself for a few more days.

If one cannot cultivate for enjoyment, then he will become a stone. If he has to eat plain food after becoming an immortal, then he will not be an immortal.

Xu Yi, who does not conform to the mainstream thinking of cultivators, is not suitable for practicing the inheritance of Chunyang Taiyi God. Instead, the inheritance of Immortal Huanxi is most suitable for him.

The sign-in system did not evaluate Xu Yi's thoughts, nor did it correct them. The system naturally did not care about the path chosen by the host.

He then stood up and prepared to leave, but noticed a cloud in the sky, which was coming towards him.

He immediately became alert, his expression solemn.

He recognized that Yun was the unknown ascetic who had called out to him.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, long time no see." Lu Xingshi landed on the ground and said with a smile, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Xu is looking for the drought demon that sneaked into Jiangyin City?"

The alertness on Xu Yi's face became more intense: "How did you know that?"

Lu Xingshi smiled, he was still too young.

"Of course I heard about it. Prince Zhong's eighth son Gao Zheng has caused a lot of trouble in the city because of this matter. Now everyone in Jiangyin Prefecture knows that Taoist Master Xu Yi is looking for Hanba."

What he meant was that Gao Zheng was using your name to slander you and ruin your reputation, but he was just saying it in a euphemistic way.

Xu Yi didn't understand what Lu Xingshi meant. He just frowned and asked, "What do you think?"

"Unfortunately, I encountered this drought demon. Knowing that you needed it, I captured it alive." Lu Xingshi spoke and clapped his hands. The five ghosts carried the drought demon, which was still in human form but was already dying, over.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yi's pupils shrank, and he confirmed that this drought demon was the remains of Chunyang Taiyi God.

He didn't expect that the other party would be beaten into such a miserable state, which meant that the mysterious man in front of him was extremely powerful and he might not be his opponent. The five ghosts threw Hanba in front of Xu Yi and then gradually dissipated.

"In that case, I'd be honored to refuse it." Xu Yicai doesn't care about any social etiquette or cause and effect. Since you've delivered it to his door, he'll just take it. The worst that can happen is that he'll turn against you afterwards. Anyway, Hanba has gotten it.

After accepting it, Lu Xingshi said, "Since you have accepted it, I hope you don't mind if I take something from you."

When Xu Yi heard this, he immediately understood that the other party had other intentions.

"Please tell me, fellow Daoist. If I can give it, I will certainly not be stingy." Xu Yi would definitely not give everything.

"It's simple. I want the Taoist inheritance of Lord Chunyang Taiyi. I believe you won't be stingy." Lu Xingshi asked directly.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yi's face immediately turned ugly. How did the other party know that he had the Taoist lineage of Pure Yang Taiyi Divine Lord? Where did the secret leak out?
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. I don't have any Taoist inheritance from the Pure Yang Taiyi Divine Lord."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Xu Yi not only denied it, but also planned to leave. After all, he had taken the benefits and what could he do if he just refused to take the rest.

My strength may not be as good as the other party, but it is not difficult to escape. Do you really think that these sign-in rewards on you are just for show?
"This is your dishonesty, fellow Taoist. I even gave you the remains of the Pure Yang Taiyi Divine Lord, and even beat him half to death for your sake."

"As a result, you are unwilling to even give up a bit of the Taoist inheritance. Do you really think I am the first one to enter the world?" Lu Xingshi said calmly.

A murderous intent flashed in Xu Yi's eyes. Not only did he know that he inherited the Taoist tradition of Chunyang Taiyi God, but he also knew the remains of Chunyang Taiyi God. He immediately thought that this person must not be kept.

"Of course, I won't take it for nothing. The remains can be used as a gift. If you are willing to pass on your tradition, I am willing to exchange it with the Great Music of the Harmony of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth."

Lu Xingshi didn't care about Huanxi Daxian's Taoist inheritance at all. This thing was very suitable for Xu Yi, much more compatible than Chunyang Taiyi Shenjun's Taoist inheritance. As for cause and effect? ​​Could the protagonist of Destiny's Child be wrong? Even if there was, he would be punished by justice.

"Hmph, don't even think about it! How could I, Xu Yi..." Before Xu Yi could finish his words, Lu Xingshi handed over the "Ode to the Joy of the Harmony of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth". The other party took a look at it and couldn't take his eyes away.

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It seemed that this "Ode to the Joy of the Harmony of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth" was more suitable for him than the Taoism of Lord Chunyang Taiyi.

After all, he is a sophisticated hedonist, and the Taoist heritage of Immortal Huanxi coincides exactly with his own.

Unlike the Taoist tradition of Chunyang Taiyi God, even with the rewards from the sign-in system, it is still miserable.

He only watched a small part and there was nothing else, which really made him itchy.

"How is it? My Taoist inheritance of "The Great Music of the Harmony of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth" is not inferior to the Taoist inheritance of Lord Chunyang Taiyi."

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I am just excited to see the prey, that's why I want to make an exchange." Lu Xingshi smiled this time.

Xu Yi hesitated. The remains of Hanba alone were not enough to impress him. However, with the "Great Music of the Harmony of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth" that could make one stronger after having a party, the effect was self-evident.

He could completely change his cultivation, so the Taoist tradition inherited by Lord Chunyang Taiyi would be of little use to him.

"Okay, but I need a guarantee. You need to take this as an oath to guarantee that the "Ode to the Harmony of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth" you give me has no loopholes or hidden tricks and is complete." He gritted his teeth and changed it, thus taking out a sign-in reward used to distinguish the authenticity.

"Of course there is no problem. But is the same true for your Taoist inheritance?" Lu Xingshi agreed immediately and questioned the other party in turn.

The two of them met by chance and there was no trust between them.

"Of course." Xu Yi had no need to lie.

"Okay, in that case, I will first hand over the "Great Music of the Harmony of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth" to you, and I hope you will not break your promise.'

"Otherwise, my sword is also very sharp. Not only can it cut off your head easily, but it can also destroy your entire cultivation." Lu Xingshi gave it to the other party first. He even hoped that the other party would go back on his word, so that Lu Xingshi could kill this time traveler openly.

After Xu Yi got it, he was secretly happy.

Was he thinking about digging a hole in the Taoist heritage of the Pure Yang Taiyi Divine Lord? In his eyes, this behavior was a bit of forced buying and selling. Even though he actually gained benefits, he was still unhappy.

[Don't mess around, this person is not simple, he may be a fairy from heaven]

The sign-in system prevented Xu Yi from committing a suicidal act. Xu Yi couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at Lu Xingshi with fear in his eyes.

With the reminder, he gave up his own little thoughts and handed over the Taoist tradition of Lord Chunyang Taiyi intact.

He thought to himself: "No wonder he was able to capture Hanba so easily. If it was a fairy god, then it would make sense. Otherwise, even I had such a hard time, so how could other cultivators do it so easily?"

"The payment has been made. Goodbye." After receiving the Taoist inheritance, Lu Xingshi turned around and flew away on a cloud.

At the same time, Lu Xingshi also discovered that a large amount of merit had been received in his account, and this merit was huge.

It was so big that even Lu Xingshi was a little surprised.
