The Spirit World

Chapter 478 Greedy and Careless Act
Act 5: [Human Relations and Worldly Wisdom]

Wang Haoyun, Li Ruyue, Bai Yutang, Chen Qi, representatives of the four major families have gathered in Shanglong Street. Of course, there is also a collateral relative of the Ning family: Ning Zhirou.

She is a girl.

In fact, there are only three families in charge of the high platform of Shanglong Street, and the others are the so-called counselors.

Bai Yuting did not exchange pleasantries with the Chen and Ning families. Although Chen Qi had been sitting on a high chair and staring at him, Bai Yuting pretended not to see him and sat down in his seat.

Chang Yufeng and Ju Junyi followed Bai Yutang's signal and stood behind his chair in a daze. They felt awkward because of Bai Yutang's implicit instruction, which was too serious. They couldn't look at others, and they couldn't be too natural, so they looked stupid. Who told Bai Yutang to just fan himself and not speak? His implicit instruction confused the two people. They walked formally, held their heads high, and stared ahead, although they didn't know what they were looking at.

Bai Yutang happened to be sitting next to Ning Zhirou, the boss of the Ning family. Behind Ning Zhirou stood only two people. The family symbol of the Ning family was engraved on their bodies. It was a small "flower", but it was hard to tell whether it was a plum. It was hard to tell. There were three people with Li Yueru just now, which might be quite a lot. Behind Chen Qi stood only two big men. Chang Yufeng had no way to see their appearance, but just took a look when he passed by.

Wow! This guy is Bai Yutang's bodyguard!
There was only one way out of the whole thing, that is, the family ahead of the Bai family could quickly kill Lan Luo without Bai Yutang's intervention. Although they did not discuss the order, it can be seen that Bai Yutang actually cared about this order, because the first thing he said to him was the "division of spoils" after the killing. Although it was changed later, that sentence was said, which led Chang Yufeng to believe that Bai Yutang really wanted to kill Lan Luo.

Although, Bai Yutang might not have explained everything he knew right away, things had come to this point and were largely under Bai Yutang's control.

Moreover, Chang Yufeng knew in his heart that no matter what happened here, he could stay out of it. In other words, anyone and anything here were just private matters to him and would not involve himself. He was now just a mute strategist and had to listen to Bai Yuting's orders.

Perhaps there is a better way to explain this phenomenon, that is, except for Jun'ichi Tachibana and Lan Luo, almost no one has a relationship with him. Although he is nominally the young master of Bailing Mountain, the appearance of the young master of Bailing has not been made public. Anyone can be him, and anyone can not be him.

Of course, not everyone can be it. At least it must be someone that His Majesty considers to be it. That has nothing to do with Young Master Bai Ling’s exclusive jade pendant.

He doesn't need to care who Bai Yuting is, nor does he need to care who the person in charge sitting here is. He said a long time ago that this kind of thing has nothing to do with him. He is clear enough about how he should live. He does not need to covet fame and fortune, nor does he need to care too much about the human relationships, big or small, because those are other people's affairs happening in other people's world.

In other words, he could survive any way he wanted. In the mud house he built, every day while waiting for Xunhuangying to find him, all he thought about was how to guard against wild beasts and ghosts that might come at night. All he thought about was how to fill his stomach, and how to get through the panic of not being able to get food quickly and having no idea what the next meal would be like. At that time, he never had to imagine what his future would be like. If he were other children, he would most likely be dead.

His current state was very similar to that state back then. His vain desires and his complete lack of ideas about the future were all gathered in one, causing him to have no hesitation at all when he believed in Bai Yutang.

He could feel that Bai Yutang had told seven parts truth and three parts lies in this matter, but what did it matter?

Spoken language is just a pile of words. Even if you say a hundred good words, they may not make people feel at ease. However, as soon as bad words are spoken, the listener will definitely feel uneasy.

Chang Yufeng did not observe the other counselors here, because he felt that he had only met them once, and there would not be much intersection, or even any human affairs. So why bother himself? If he felt that those counselors or the people in charge had little to do with him.

Although he didn't care about others that much, didn't want to be bound by anyone else here, and even didn't want to talk to them, others didn't seem to think so.

They looked at Chang Yufeng, trying to glimpse his true appearance through the veil.

This included Chen Qi, the man who was seated across from Bai Yuting. Chen Qi was not much older, about twenty years old, but looked younger, with very white dimples.

"Bai Yutang! I say! Why did you find two women as your advisers? What use are women?" Chen Qi squinted one eye and looked at Chang Yufeng. Although he was talking to Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang had just sat down and was not in the mood to pay attention to him.

He simply said, "Thank you, King Huacan, for your concern."

Chen Qi also felt bored and pointed at Zhongqing City in the distance and said, "No, I mean, the first big devil is actually a woman, and she chased Li Lusheng around. Li Lusheng is really useless!"

Bai Yuting did not respond. Instead, he took out a fan, opened it gently, and slowly closed his eyes and fanned himself.

Instead, Ning Zhirou, who was beside Chen Qi, spoke up: "Brother Lu Sheng just lost the initiative. His tentative sweep of the spear just now seemed like an attack, but it was actually a defense. Brother Lu Sheng has already turned into a star into a moon. No matter how powerful the Great Demon King of the First Day is, he has an upper limit. Once the magic array is fully operational, the Great Demon King of the First Day will be further suppressed. By then, it will be a piece of cake for Miss Ruyue to defeat him in one fell swoop."

"Isn't it known to everyone that Li Lusheng is a waste..." Chen Qi frowned and asked Ning Zhirou in a very high tone.

"What can Li Lusheng say..." Ning Zhirou wanted to speak to Li Lusheng, but Chen Qi threw a quilt to the ground with a snap, and the porcelain tiles of the tea bowl flew everywhere.

"Go away, go away. I'm not talking to you! It's a compliment for you to be a dog from a side family sitting here, and you still want to talk to me. It's bad luck to have bad luck in your face. That's really bad luck!" Chen Qi spat on the ground. He didn't even look at Ning Zhirou before he spat.

Ning Zhirou smiled and the corners of her mouth twitched a little.

She didn't react much, nor did she feel embarrassed. She just kept watching the fight between Zhong Qingcheng and the other man without saying anything.

But Chen Qi refused to do so. He continued to be annoyed and said: "Li Lusheng is so slow, it's almost dawn! What a fool!"

Everyone could hear his words, including Chang Yufeng. He seemed to know that the Li family was not there, so all his words were directed at the Li family. There should be no one to speak for the Li family, so his scolding was extremely unpleasant.

Chang Yufeng has been frowning since he started spitting at Ning Zhirou next to him. He had only seen Ning Zhirou, a member of the side branch, once in Bai Lingshan's brochure, which was equivalent to never having seen her before.

For him, the collateral family being scolded was entirely Chen Qi's fault, but Chen Zhirou seemed to want to smooth things over just now. He looked at Bai Yutang's silence as if he had closed his eyes to rest, and felt that Ning Zhirou should not have said anything to him, and should not have been so cold to him. Bai Yutang had said that it was right for the five major families to dislike each other, and it was wrong to be so cold to other families. Ning Zhirou's behavior clearly showed that she was not smart enough and confident enough.

Chang Yufeng only looked at Chen Qi at this time. Chen Qi sat lazily, his armor shining on Shanglong Street. He looked unusual, with a pointed chin and a bit of a sly look. Ning Zhirou was much more ordinary, with a standard appearance, wearing a gorgeous dress from Bailing Mountain, without any armor that looked good, and sat quietly aside.

It is clear at a glance who will be the main force to destroy Lan Luo. The Ning family does not have the blood of the main family. To some extent, the appearance of the side branch shows that they have no say here. Perhaps considering that the side branch of the Ning family is simply unable to destroy the first demon king, they simply gave up this opportunity.

Of course, this is just speculation. Chen Qi does not give face to the declining family at all, which is in line with his style, because the armor on his body is not ordinary, so it is not reasonable to say that he is taking care of the Ning family. Chang Yufeng would not think about what would happen if he sat here as the young master of Bai Ling, and he did not want to get involved in the muddy water. Even if Ning Zhirou was despised, he would not think about how to help her.

Just be scolded if you are scolded.

In fact, just keep silent. If you can't stand it, then don't stand it. You can hide from the hooligans, and you can also hide from the powerful hooligans, although they have thousands of reasons for you to not hide from them.

But in this situation, you should not bother yourself. Even gods can't save you. You don't need to care about it, but you make yourself uncomfortable.

According to Bai Yuting's opinion, Bai Yuting should just ignore him. It's not the Bai family he is scolding, so it's okay to scold him till the sky is dark.

Junichi Tachibana was also unable to breathe. In such a suffocating environment, she opened her eyes wide and watched the fragments turn into white dust and disappear in an instant.

Chang Yufeng looked at Bai Yuting, wanting to get some instructions, but Bai Yuting just shook his head gently, and his fan was still fanning gently, and not a single gust of wind blew onto Chang Yufeng behind him.

Then... you can only listen to Bai Yutang and don't take any action.

I don’t know if it’s because the Ning family is in decline or because Ning Zhirou is kind-hearted, but it’s understandable that Ning Zhirou wants to show off, but her expression now is definitely not good.

At this time, Wang Haoyun came with a big belly. He also looked at Junyi Tachibana on purpose. Junyi Tachibana was frightened by the broken cup just now. At this time, he puffed up his little face and looked very serious.

Wang Haoyun did not speak to the three decision-makers. He sat next to Bai Yuting. Bai Yuting tilted his head and whispered something to him. Wang Haoyun nodded and looked in the direction of Zhongqing City from beginning to end. He looked at Chang Yufeng again, then at Ju Junyi, turned his head back, and leaned back in the chair as steadily as a tumbler.

Things are not as simple as imagined, but they don't seem complicated either. As a strategist, Chang Yufeng can only watch quietly. There are many terrible things here. These terrible things will suffocate people when they confront each other.

Money, power, so naked.

From this short journey, Bai Yuting had already said that he was not inferior to the people here in Nanyou. He must have seen that the Chen family wanted this opportunity to annihilate the demon, so he would not compete with him. All the lands in the world belong to Chen. He also said at the beginning that he was just here to complete his mission. The Chen family must have a legitimate reason to annihilate the Great Demon King on the first day. It is impossible to directly tell other families that the Chen family will take all the inheritance after the Great Demon King is annihilated. Bai Yuting must have seen it a long time ago. He would not compete with him, but let him annihilate the demon without changing his expression. Wang Haoyun also never mentioned this matter. Except for that sentence, he was silent, leaning back in the chair to rest with his fat body.

No matter what Chen Qi said, the two of them did not answer. Only Ning Zhirou from the Ning family answered from time to time, and then was scolded.

Chang Yufeng really couldn't understand why Ning Zhirou, a member of the side branch, was looking for trouble like this. He could only let Ning Zhirou be scolded and even insulted. Bai Yuting and Wang Haoyun didn't speak for her either, as if Ning Zhirou didn't exist at all.

It was not until a strange light appeared in Zhongqing City that the suffocating atmosphere eased a little.

Those were beams of light that turned into arcs, converging with a point in the sky as high as two Shanglong Street platforms, and quickly formed a visible birdcage of light.

The white bird cage suddenly became transparent. Looking down from the high platform, one could only see two blurry figures fighting.

The brilliant spiritual energy gushed out from them, accompanied by a large amount of dust. Even the snow in the entire Zhongqing City began to melt rapidly, making the entire Longzhong City even darker.

The entire magic circle pierced through the ground, and the familiar blades bombarded everything they touched.

"It's about to begin..." Wang Haoyun smiled and said to Bai Yutang, "I don't know if we can get the Heart Stone of the Great Demon King of Day One, but it has finally begun. Once Wutongsi arrives, we can finish our work and go home."

Bai Yutang shook his fan and nodded, then opened his eyes: "Brother Haoyun, you think this matter is too simple... The key to the problem is not the Heart Stone, but the Nine-Transformation Spiritual Sword in the hands of the First Great Demon King."

"Yes, it would be nice to have both the Heart Stone and the Sword. It's not good to say that you are unique." Wang Haoyun gently placed his hand on Bai Yutang's shoulder. A tiger died on the mountain, and the four of them had to go and visit it, even though the tiger had eaten many people. "

"I don't agree with this. Let's wait and see the result. Sister Yueru suffered a loss, but that doesn't mean Li Lusheng will suffer a loss. The magic array had been set up long ago. He had to fight for such a long time - that must be to pave the way for Sister Yueru."

"If you are capable, you can also pave the way for me. What do you think, Brother Haoyun?"

"Brother Yu, you are joking again. You know that our Wang family only engages in business and is not very good at fighting."

"Isn't it the same for our Bai family?"

I don’t know how to write the sp volume... This scene of human relationships needs to be highlighted through the accumulation of small words, I think... let’s not do it... I picked a few sentences to reduce the impact.
