Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 346 Choice
In the elegant moonlit room filled with fragrance, Feng Wenzheng smiled and tested Chen Mu softly, staring closely at his reaction.

The others also pricked up their ears and listened, their minds gradually concentrating on one point, holding their breath and concentrating.

They knew that Chen Mu's next answer would determine their next move.

If Chen Mu nodded in agreement, this would be the result they most wanted to see. In the end, they would just have to spend some resources and spirit stones to satisfy Chen Mu's greed.

This not only avoids completely offending Fushan Changhe, but also allows Gao Xiaoqing to stay in the Feng family. It can be said to be the best of both worlds!

But if Chen Mu refused, then this matter would become troublesome. Putting aside other things, just for now, they would need to report to the clan and rush to Tianling Island to take Gao Xiaoqing away. They were also tied up and had to leave Chen Mu here...

All in all, they still hope to have less worries.

Seeing that Chen Mu didn't respond for a long time and looked like he was deep in thought, Feng Wenzheng felt happy. As long as he didn't reject her immediately, it meant that she was already interested...

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how are you?"

Chen Mu's eyes moved, but he had already made a decision in his heart, but he didn't want to say it out loud immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, this matter is a bit difficult..."

He shook his head slightly, looking embarrassed.

"Hmm?" Feng Wenzheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Fellow Daoist Xu, please tell me what's the problem?"

"Fellow Daoist Feng, you may not know that the senior master who took a fancy to Gao Xiaoqing seven years ago has a very high level of cultivation and has already reached the Golden Core Perfection Realm. This time, he assigned me a mission. If I return empty-handed, I'm afraid I'll get into big trouble..."

Chen Mu's fabricated stories were vivid and realistic, but his tone was so real that Feng Wenzhen and the others frowned.

"Golden Elixir is complete..."

They looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

You must know that the ancestor of the Feng family, the helmsman of the entire Feng family, is only in the late Jindan stage, and is still a long way from the state of perfection.

His plan to deal with Gao Xiaoqing at this time was just a precautionary measure, to prepare himself in advance, so as to avoid missing such a good opportunity in the future.

And an elder of Fushan Changhe has reached such a realm, enough to fight against the entire Feng family alone...

"Fortunately, we are in the East China Sea. Even if Fushan Changhe becomes more powerful, we still need to pay attention to the constraints of the Penglai Alliance..."

Feng Wen Zheng pondered in his heart and came up with an idea in a moment.

"Friend Xu, you don't need to take such a risk. You just need to be a little more tactful..."

Chen Mu raised one eyebrow slightly and listened attentively.

"Gao Xiaoqing married into the Feng family long before you did, and she's lost her ambitions for the future. She just wants to be a good wife and raise children, leading a peaceful life... You've come all this way, but you can't do anything..."

Feng Wenzheng spoke softly, gradually making up the outline of the story. After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Mu and said, "Friend Xu, do you think this is a good idea?"

It can be said that he also took great pains. In order to capture Gao Xiaoqing without bloodshed, he did not hesitate to think hard for Chen Mu.

However, Chen Mu himself knew that Feng Wen Zheng was so polite entirely because of his identity, not because of him as a person.

Just imagine, if he was a casual cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, he would probably be killed by Feng Wenzheng without even meeting him...

"Fellow Daoist Xu, isn't this matter still clear? Brother Feng has already taken most of the responsibility on his own shoulders by proposing this method. Why should Fellow Daoist Xu not give him any face?"

Feng Wenzhen signaled with his eyes, and Han Chengran beside him immediately understood and advised with a little displeasure.

Feng Wenzheng's heart moved, and he quickly pretended to wave his hand: "Hey, Brother Han, don't say that. Let's listen to Fellow Daoist Xu's considerations..."

However, the two of them cooperated with each other and wanted to force Chen Mu to agree on the spot.

Chen Mu sneered in his heart, frowned and paused for a moment, then he said: "This matter is of great importance, Xu really dare not make a promise easily at the moment... How about this, Brother Feng, why don't you wait for me to think about it for a few days, and then I will give you a satisfactory answer!" After these words came out, Feng Wenzhen was a little disappointed. According to him, it is better to try to solve it immediately.

But it was hard to refute what Chen Mu said. If he agreed to such a thing, he really couldn't believe it...

Thinking of this, Feng Wenzheng laughed heartily and said aloud, "That's very good. Fellow Daoist Xu, please think about this carefully for the next few days."

"But if you still insist on your own opinion..." He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Then don't blame me, the Feng family, for resorting to extreme measures!"

Chen Mu frowned and nodded in agreement.

Seeing how cooperative he was, Feng Wen Zheng's expression changed and he chuckled again.

"Seven days from now, Mingyue Island will hold its semi-annual auction. Most of the powerful families and sects in the Dongming and Jinfeng seas will participate."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please come in with us. If you see anything you like, I, Feng Wenzheng, will take charge and buy it for you without hesitation!"

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

Chen Mu was startled and gave some appropriate reactions.

Feng Wenzheng nodded and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Xu, there's no need to say more. You've come from afar, and my Feng family, as the host of the Dongming Sea..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized that this was inappropriate and that it would easily offend taboos if it got out, so he changed his tone and said, "Let my Feng family express their gratitude!"

Chen Mu smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing, but secretly thinking while holding up the wine glass.

Before the Feng family was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, they already had the idea of ​​taking charge of the Dongming Sea.

"But I wonder if the Chi Ming lineage would agree to this idea..."

His eyes narrowed, and he was determined.

"It's perfect. I can use this auction to sell some things and try to make some connections... to find a way around this."

After all, as Feng Wenzheng had just said, most of the forces in the Dongming Sea would be attending the Mingyue Island auction, which saved him a lot of effort...

After a banquet, both the host and the guests were happy.

Li Mingxin, whose face was already flushed, laughed twice, stroked his hands back and forth, and chased after the maid who entered the boudoir before him.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, the maids at Mingyuezhai are all very beautiful, especially their bedtime routines, which are very intoxicating...would you like to experience it for yourself?"

Feng Wenzhen waved his hand to send away the maid who rushed over and walked towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu shook his head slightly: "I have something on my mind and I can't muster up any interest. I'll enjoy it after this matter is resolved!"

"That's fine too."

Feng Wen Zheng did not suspect anything. After chatting with Chen Mu for a few more words, he asked a beautiful woman to enter the room.

Chen Mu did not stop, and after perfunctorily dealing with Ji Qingqing who had caught up with him, he returned alone to the quiet room in the courtyard arranged by Feng Wenzhen.

"Feng family..."

He muttered something and did not move for a long time.

An unknown amount of time had passed. When the bright moon was in the sky outside, he lightly patted the storage bag on his waist and took out the purple talisman from it.

After using his magical power to wrap it up, he began to perform rituals on it...
