Chapter 132
The loud shout of Jing Ke contained a very magical ripple of energy . Subtly, it felt like an art of confusion that those from evil path would have used . Wu Qi was pondering on what Jing Ke had said just now, and the sudden loud shout stirred his soul, nearly making him tell everything he heard and saw in the mansion of Prince Ren .
Nevertheless, he had already achieved a certain degree of cultivation in Source of Earth, Wood and Fire Chapter . Since he began the cultivation of these three skills, besides the ten thousand miles wide water ripples formed from the cultivation of Source of Water Chapter inside his Spiritual Ocean, there was also a large clump of misty gas of Earth element, a dense forest filled with great trees, and an ocean of flame that stretched ten thousand miles in circumference . Above all this hovered the Divine Flame of Order, which had been trapped by numerous defensive mechanisms .
At present, Wu Qi still could not absorb this Divine Flame of Order and make it his own . However, it was, after all, a divine flame that was rarely found in nature . Right when Jing Ke's loud shout triggered Wu Qi's soul, the divine flame instantly unleashed a large orb of purple-green halo, and dispersed Jing Ke's devilish shout that could stir one's mind without much effort, stabilizing Wu Qi's soul . The earthy gas, dense forests, flaming ocean and water ripples, all energies of four elements began raging and rocking violently, forming a four colored vortex within his Spiritual Ocean and protecting his soul in its center .
With merely a swaying movement of his soul, Wu Qi's spirit had come to sober . But he still put out a look of absent-mindedness, staring blankly at Jing Ke . Countless thoughts flashed through his mind: Should he tell Jing Ke about Lao Ai? If he did so, perhaps he would immediately attract the desperate counter-strike from Prince of Ren . Yet, if he did not say anything, could that mean he would just stand back and watch how Lao Ai, the peerless man of evil, keep hiding in Prince Ren's Mansion?
Because of Princess Ying Chuan, Lao Ai had already placed his attention on Wu Qi and Lu Chengfeng, and who knew if he would do something to them in secret? Compared to Lao Ai, who had an infamous reputation, the reputation of Jing Ke, Gao Jianli, and Yan Dan was much better . At least, up until now, they still maintained a rather friendly relationship with Wu Qi and showed no hostility .
So, what if Prince of Ren really launched a desperate counter-strike at him? Suddenly, Wu Qi recalled the huge amount of Spatial Breaching Spirit Gold that he obtained from Shi Martial Club, and that had instantly given him great confidence . If he were given enough time, he would no longer be afraid of anybody . As long as Wu Qi could use the Spatial Breaching Spirit Gold to construct a few escape routes, he would have no fear of anybody under the heavens .
Within a split second, and while maintaining the same blank and absent-minded expression, Wu Qi started to tell Jing Ke everything he witnessed in Prince Ren's Mansion . He even admitted to Jing Ke that he too had a great talent in the Dao of arrays and formations, and as Lu Chengfeng had inherited the Arts of Heaven Patching Formation from Heaven Breaking Sword Sect, he had studied the art together with Lu Chengfeng, which made him learn a lot from it . Thus, he was able to bypass all the defensive formations found in Prince Ren's Mansion .
Jing Ke trembled upon hearing the name of Lao Ai, and nearly fell off from his mount . He had his eyes fixed on Wu Qi's face and asked with a stern voice, "Are you sure of that? Is his name really Lao Ai? He really shoved his d*ck into a large wheel made of pure gold and spun it around? Yan Xianchen, the Prince of Ren, is his disciple? And Princess Ying Chuan is having an affair with him? And because you don't want to owe a favor to her, that's why you had attacked Shi Martial Club in advance?"
Blankly, Wu Qi nodded his head and said, "The mother clan of my young master wishes to occupy part of Lu Kingdom's land, and if we owe a favor to Princess Ying Chuan, that won’t be good for their future planning . "
Wu Qi paused for a brief moment, then 'honestly' told Jing Ke, "I didn't know this in the past, but suddenly realized that cultivating without money is not going to work . The cost of the most inferior lower tier magical item is at least one hundred gold coins . Middle tier costs a few thousand, and the cheapest upper tier magical item would cost more than one hundred thousand gold coins . All those talismans are not cheap either . Without money, how could I further my cultivation? Wu Qi wishes to form my Gold Core and Nascent Soul, and become a mighty Human Immortal and Earth Immortal . Wu Qi wants an immortal life and to live leisurely in this world . "
He breathed out a long sigh, then said 'without reservation', "For the sake of cultivating, we have made Little Meng City as the private property of my young master . However, the annual yield could barely sufficient to supply what me and my young master need . But, in order to survive in Ji City, we have to keep a large group of experts and guards, and all of that would cost money! Therefore, we planned to foster Tie Clan of Marquis Yuanyang, helping him to establish his own kingdom . Thus, with the yield of a kingdom as our backup, together with the yield from two provinces of my young master's fief, it would barely be enough to serve our purpose . "
Wu Qi shook his head and said, "The Ninth Clan has many members, but only a few hundred of them are useful, such as Yan Jiuhui and Yan Bugui . All the others are just a bunch of useless fools who only know how to spend wishfully . We have to spend more than half of the yield from two provinces just to support so many clan members . If we don't develop new financial resources, how are we going to keep a foothold in Ji City?"
Grumpily, Jing Ke glared at Wu Qi, stretched his hand out and lightly patted on Wu Qi's chin as he shouted, "That's enough, wake up! Hmph! What a daring kid . How could you hide such a severe information from us! And you even stirred up such a great trouble just to avoid owing someone a favor! Hmph, Lao Ai!"
While Jing Ke was venting his frustration, Wu Qi 'suddenly awakened' . He looked at Jing Ke in panic and asked, "Chief General, what happened to me just now?"
Jing Ke rolled his eyes and sneered . "You were possessed by ghosts just now! Hmph, hmph! I'll take this as your great merit as well, but you don't have to know why it is a great merit . Lao Ai, Lao Ai, you fake eunuch, so you've been hiding in Great Yan for all these years, huh? Damn it, why didn't we detect any of your traces! Why are you not causing troubles with your son-in-custom, but hiding in Great Yan Dynasty instead?"
Wu Qi let out a hollow laugh, then carefully asked, "Chief General, who is that Lao Ai?"
Jing Ke's face twitched a few times . His brows frowned, then he waved his hand forcefully and said, "You don't have to know who he is . It is very complicated as it all started over two thousand years ago, and we don't have time for that . In short, these days, you've to avoid Prince of Ren, and don't provoke him and anybody around him . As for the event at Shi Martial Club, you can just use the same excuse made up by you, telling people that it is Yan Chengfeng who had taken a fancy of it, and intentionally seized his property . "
