A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

"Tiger, do you remember me?"

Cao Wang realized that something was not right.

He immediately smiled and pressed himself against it.

"We entered the outer sect in the same batch. I still vividly remember your heroic figure when you were the first to choose a Daoist partner!"

"How dare you bring this up with me?"

Speaking of Wang Hu makes me angry.

"You fucking picked the three prettiest ones in the end, and I picked the one with pockmarks? Are you trying to disgust me?"

"No, no, no, I simply admired your strength. You've misunderstood!"

Cao Wang thought to himself, "This flattery has backfired," and quickly offered an explanation.

"Alright, let's get back to the point. Your brother stole my brother's woman. What do you want to do about this? Hua An said you're his boss. He ran away, so you're in charge. Ten spirit stones, and we'll call it even!"

Wang Hu directly explained the reason and even offered an exorbitant price.

"hehe!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Wang suddenly laughed.

"Brother Tiger, this probably has nothing to do with me. I don't know this person at all!"

"You're talking nonsense! I saw you with him yesterday!"

Another person shouted.

"Oh, so just because we greeted each other, I'm some kind of boss? So, according to you, if I know Tiger and I get into trouble tomorrow, and then claim Tiger is my boss and tell them to go find him, is that reasonable?"

Cao Wang tried to persuade them with his silver tongue; after all, he had even managed to seduce Jiao San Niang with his words.

At this point, Cao Wang looked at Wang Hu.

"Brother Tiger, tell me, am I right? I do know that kid, and you know him too. They came in with us from the preliminary selection stage. You've come to me without any evidence. Aren't I being wronged?"

Everyone was immediately rendered speechless.

"This...this..."

The guy whose woman was stolen stammered.

"I don't care, your brother stole my senior sister who was supporting me, so you have to take responsibility. Ten spirit stones, not a single one less!"

"right!"

Wang Hu echoed this sentiment.

Since reasoning with them won't work, then we'll resort to forced buying and selling.

"Kid, what do you think about this?"

Cao Wang panicked.

Wang Hu has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He can't even handle it by himself, let alone with other people.

Are we going to use the talisman that Shen Jingqiu gave us?

Is it worth dealing with these small fry?

Just then, Cao Wang caught a glimpse of Zhao Dezhu returning.

He then revealed a cruel expression: "What if I say I won't give it to you? What can you do to me then?"

"Hey!"

Wang Hu immediately flew into a rage. "What did you say?"

"Go to hell with you, asking me for money? What are you thinking?"

Cao Wang went up and slapped Wang Hu across the face.

"Kill him!"

Wang Hu was completely bewildered. After he came to his senses, he roared at the others.

"stop!"

Just then, Zhao Dezhu's words, like a bolt from the blue, stopped everyone in their tracks.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Wang Hu and the others immediately shrank back and retreated.

"Elder Zhao, please do me justice!"

Cao Wang, who had been sleeping on the ground for thirty years and had been staging accidents for extortion, went up to Zhao Dezhu and started wailing.

"There's no law anymore! There's no justice! They're trying to kill me! Elder Zhao, please do me justice!"

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Dezhu shouted sharply and helped Cao Wang up from the ground.

"Don't worry, with me here, they won't do anything to you. Tell me, what happened?"

Cao Wang stood up with a wronged expression and began to explain, embellishing the story.

"Here's what happened: right after we finished eating, they came up and beat me up..."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking nonsense!" Wang Hu immediately pointed at Cao Wang.

"They're trying to blackmail me, demanding ten spirit stones from me, or they won't let me go!"

"That's your brother who stole my woman. You're his boss, you have to give me an explanation!"

"Elder Zhao, tell me, is there no law left? I don't even know the person he's talking about. Besides, what do you mean by 'your women'? Those women are all our senior sisters, right? It's their freedom to be with whomever they want. You're so petty and have no patience. It's fine for senior sisters to choose other people, but how can you use them as bargaining chips to blackmail others?"

Cao Wang spoke fluently and persuasively, presenting his arguments logically and with evidence.

"If my senior sister finds out about this, will she approve?"

"I...I..."

Everyone's chest heaved as Cao Wang spoke, but they couldn't find a way to refute him.

Where is the enforcement team?

Zhao Dezhu gave a sharp shout.

"yes!"

The law enforcement team responsible for patrolling around the cafeteria immediately rushed over.

"Arrest them all, interrogate them severely, and stop extorting their fellow disciples. Your good days are over!"

Zhao Dezhu had long been dissatisfied with these troublemakers because of the protection fee issue.

If I hadn't been so busy these past few days, I would have given them a hard time long ago.

Now that we've found an opportunity, how could we possibly let them go?

"Elder Zhao, we're innocent! You can't arrest us!"

"Elder Zhao, if you can collect protection money, why can't we?"

"Shut up, are you trying to get us killed?"

……

"Um?"

Zhao Dezhu's expression immediately changed, and his gaze towards them became even more sinister.

"Take them away and interrogate them thoroughly!"

"yes!"

Cao Wang burst out laughing when he saw this.

What a divine assist!

What time is it and you're still trying to pin this on Zhao Dezhu?

"How are you? Are you alright?"

After those people were taken away, Zhao Dezhu turned around and asked them questions.

"Thank you for your concern, Elder Zhao. I did get a few punches and kicks from them, and my head is a little dizzy and my ears are ringing, but it's nothing serious, I'll be fine after a rest!"

Cao Wang deliberately misrepresented the illness, but in reality, he arrived before Zhao Dezhu even touched him.

"How can you say this is nothing? A head injury is a serious matter. Go to Danfeng now and find a few pharmacists to take a look. Tell them I sent you. I'll interrogate those guys and make them compensate you!"

"Thank you very much, Elder Zhao. I will always remember your kindness!"

"Alright, hurry up and go!"

……

Cao Wang knew very well that if both sides went through with the matter, it would be a serious matter.

To sum it up, I have a headache and tinnitus.

Even the most advanced diagnostic tools couldn't detect the problem before.

They started this whole thing and even tried to extort money from me.

Then don't blame me for being impolite.

They go all out in the acting, not to mention they can also get some external wound medication that they can use later if they don't need it now.

Subsequently, Cao Wang obtained some medicinal herbs for treating external injuries from Danfeng Peak for free.

In the afternoon, the compensation that Zhao Dezhu and Wang Hu had requested was delivered to Cao Wang.

Unexpectedly, there were a total of five spirit stones.

Cao Wang knew that Zhao Dezhu must have taken a lot for himself.

But we still need to maintain the proper attitude, since these spirit stones cost nothing.

Cao Wang immediately took out two pills and handed them over: "If Elder Zhao hadn't stepped in, I would not only have been beaten up by them, but I would have also had to pay for my own medical treatment. Now I have received free medical treatment and compensation. I really have to thank Elder Zhao for taking care of me."

"Please take these two spirit stones and go have some spirit tea. It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Dezhu burst into laughter.

"You've got a good grasp of social etiquette, kid!"

After saying that, he packed it away without leaving a trace.

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook. From now on, if you have any problems with the outer sect, just come to me!"

"Oh, very well! It is my greatest honor to have your patronage!"
