Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 410 needs an explanation.
Why again?
She had clearly been tempted by Xu Yue before.

The reason Shen Yu and others entered the academy was largely due to pressure from their families.

Of course, they themselves were also very curious about cultivation and such things.

But those who enjoy having fun don't have much ambition for cultivation.

Graduating and learning those supernatural formations is enough.

But now that Xu Yue has said that, it seems like I can try harder.

I, Shen Yu, am no less than anyone else.

Okay, Shen Yu really wants to learn that sword control technique.

No other reason than: He's handsome!
"what's the topic?"

Tie Wei and Wang Haolin also came over.

Practice is not about being busy in the fields without rest.

Even if someone tries to cheat or cheat, Xu Yue will not pay attention to it.

Of course, there really isn't such a person.

The trainees were very enthusiastic about the practical training.

"Really?"

Tie Wei and Wang Haolin couldn't help but look at Xu Yue.

Judging from their reactions, they seemed to be extremely interested.

Xu Yue was not surprised either.

What man hasn't dreamed of wandering the world with a sword? And who can resist flying on a sword?

“This is too far from your level,” Xu Yue said. “Once your cultivation reaches that level, I will naturally not mind teaching you.”

Xu Yue may not know now, but he definitely will when Shen Yu and the others reach the fourth realm.

Xu Yue has never been stingy with his friends.

"Have you ever thought about finding a couple of highly talented people to take on as apprentices?"

Wang Haolin asked curiously.

He entered the path of cultivation and also learned about the situation of other cultivation forces.

Cultivation sects place great importance on lineage.

Those people at the school are at most Xu Yue's students, and their relationship is that of teacher and student.

There is a significant difference between teacher-student relationships and master-apprentice relationships.

Closeness and distance are clear at a glance.

"Why take on apprentices?" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "I'll teach them as much as they can learn. Although we don't have a master-apprentice relationship, I'm not holding back any knowledge."

This has nothing to do with whether or not it involves concealment.

The student-teacher relationship is not like that of apprentice and master, but it also has fewer constraints.

“I know what you mean,” Xu Yue said, “but it’s unnecessary. Times have changed. Of course, maybe I just don’t have that thought yet.”

Taking on apprentices?
He still doesn't understand many things, so how can he teach apprentices?

Let's talk about it later; he's still very young.

After chatting for a while, Wang Haolin and the others went back to their work.

Xu Yue continued to study the sword control technique.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji have returned.

Somewhat embarrassed.

"How did it happen?"

Xu Yue frowned and looked at the two of them.

Both of them were injured.

They possess quite a lot of items; even a master of the third realm would likely find it difficult to harm them now.

There are protective jade amulets, as well as magical implements such as millstones for self-defense.

Moreover, neither of them were easy opponents.

“We were attacked.” Liu Chengji then took out a round ball and handed it to Xu Yue, saying, “I guess it was for this.”

"Ok?"

Xu Yue took a glance at it and showed a look of surprise.

"The Yin-Yang Spirit Pearl?" Xu Yue looked at Liu Chengji and said, "You actually obtained something like this?"

When Xu Yue obtained the Earth Spirit Pearl, Ning Yun had mentioned this thing.

This bead is slightly larger than the Earth Spirit Bead, but it is hot and cold, exhibiting yin and yang energies.

"It was born from a place where Yin and Yang converge," Guo Tianyou said. "Whether it's called the Yin-Yang Spirit Pearl is unknown. However, it should be a good thing."

Naturally formed spiritual objects are magical artifacts in themselves, and those with great potential.

"Where are the people who attacked you?" Xu Yue asked. "Which faction did they belong to? Hasn't the Special Administration Bureau given us an explanation?"

Guo Tianyou didn't say anything, he just looked at Liu Chengji.

“The Liu family of Nantian.” Liu Chengji shook his head and said, “The Special Administration Bureau really can’t say anything about this.”

"Why?" Xu Yue said, "Just because you come from the Liu family of Nantian? No matter what your relationship with the Liu family of Nantian is, you were invited by the Special Administration Bureau to do business this time. If you were attacked on the way to do business, then the Special Administration Bureau has to give an explanation."

Xu Yue had heard Guo Tianyou mention Liu Chengji's background.

He was once a member of the Liu family of Nantian, but later betrayed the Liu family because the clan did not approve of his relationship with his wife.

The cultivation methods practiced by Liu Chengji's descendants today are not those of the Liu family of Nantian.

Previously, the methods I practiced were somewhat eclectic, but now I am practicing the methods of farming.

His grandson is still in college.

However, his talent doesn't seem to be very good, as he wasn't among the first batch of people to enter the second realm.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean they can't catch up and surpass each other.

Liu Chengji's grandson may not have a high talent for cultivation, but he has an exceptional talent for understanding formations and the like.

Perhaps it's due to his family's scholarly tradition.

"I called Jing Guohua."

As he spoke, Xu Yue took out his phone and called Jing Guohua directly.

"Boss, you lent my people to find land for you, but they got attacked. Shouldn't your Special Administration Bureau give us an explanation?"

"The injuries aren't serious. But is it really a matter of how serious the injuries are? My men went to help you, but they were attacked."

“He is no longer a member of the Liu family of Nantian, and he hasn’t been for a long time. He is now a member of my Taoyuan Village. Besides, it’s not just Liu Chengji who was hurt, but also Guo Tianyou. Saying it’s a personal grudge between members of the Liu family of Nantian is unreasonable.”

“If the Liu family of Nantian doesn’t give me an explanation, then I will go to Nantian myself to demand an explanation.”

Xu Yue hung up the phone without waiting for Jing Guohua to say anything.

The Special Administration Bureau may have its difficulties, but he doesn't care.

He only knew that his people had been hurt.

You want to steal something?
Perhaps there was also a past grudge between Liu Chengji and him.

But Xu Yue didn't care about any of that.

If he doesn't make a statement on this matter, people will really think they can bully the others in Peach Blossom Village.

Those people couldn't do anything to Xu Yue, nor could they afford to offend him, lest they be caught in the crossfire and cause trouble for the other people in Taoyuan Village.

"I'll just say it!"

Seeing Jing Guohua hang up the phone and look at him, Li Liang pursed his lips and said.

“This matter is a bit troublesome.” Jing Guohua frowned and said, “The feud between Liu Chengji and the Liu family of Nantian is hard to explain.”

“What do their grudges have to do with us?” Li Liang said. “Let’s only talk about this matter.”

"Who's in the right this time?" Jing Guohua asked. "Who can say for sure who came first and who came last?"

"How can you not explain it?" Li Liang said. "Liu Chengji was the one who discovered that bead first. But the Liu family of Nantian jumped out and attacked, claiming it was theirs and demanding that Liu Chengji hand it over. What's the difference between that and outright robbery?"

If you try to reason with them first, and they still can't get through to you, then you can take action. That way, you'll still have some grounds to stand.

But they attacked first, without ever considering reasoning. To just grab something without any justification is clearly unreasonable.

As for their claims about discovering the place first, how can anyone believe that?

Jing Guohua naturally knew that Li Liang had a problem with that expert from the Liu family of Nantian.

Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji were there to find land for the Special Administration Bureau.

Li Liang went along with them.

The Liu family of Nantian injured Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji right in front of him.

If they hadn't had protective jade talismans, they probably would have been injured even more severely.

He almost lost his temper and let Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji beat them to death.

“Those people were injured even more severely,” Jing Guohua said. “One of them, a third-realm expert, was almost crippled. They’re not going to give us an explanation.”

“If they don’t give it to us, Xu Yue will naturally go to them,” Li Liang said, looking at Jing Guohua. “However, if we don’t give a clear answer on this matter, will we still be able to borrow people from Xu Yue in the future?”

Can I borrow it?
I'm afraid it won't work.

This time, Xu Yue wasn't really keen on lending it.

Now that he has such a good reason, given his understanding of Xu Yue, it's no wonder he's unlikely to lend it to him.

“I’ll contact Zeng Shiqiang,” Jing Guohua said. “The Liu family of Nantian has produced a fourth-level expert, and they’ve indeed become increasingly arrogant. It would be good to use this matter to put them in a good position.”

Li Liang said nothing more.

Zeng Shiqiang was the director of the Zhejiang Special Administration Bureau, so he naturally knew about it.

If you want to find the Liu family of Nantian, then it's natural for him to go.

Zeng Shiqiang was completely flustered when he received the news.

The Liu family of Nantian clashed with Xu Yue of Taoyuan Village, and the Special Administration Bureau was also involved.

What does this have to do with me?

Well, it's definitely related to him.

Who told him to be the head of the Special Administration Bureau in Zhejiang?

Besides, Liu Chengji and Guo Tianyou were there to help the Special Administration Bureau.

And the Zhejiang Special Administration Bureau also benefited from this.

The Special Administration Bureau's primary purpose in dealing with the spiritual community is naturally to maintain stability.

They tend to prefer cooperation with major sects and factions.

He naturally had a lot of cooperation with the Liu family of Nantian.

Upon receiving the call, Zeng Shiqiang went to the Liu family's territory and met with Liu Chengbo, the current clan head.

"Director Zeng, the one who is seriously injured is my second brother!"

Upon hearing Zeng Shiqiang's purpose, Liu Chengbo's expression immediately turned cold.

“He struck first,” Zeng Shiqiang said. “Moreover, Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji went there at the invitation of our Special Administration Bureau. Liu Chenghong is slapping our Special Administration Bureau in the face.”

"Director Zeng should be aware of the feud between my Liu family and Liu Chengji?" Liu Chengbo said. "Back then, he betrayed the Liu family for a woman. It was already a favor that he wasn't crippled. Now he actually dares to steal my Liu family's rare treasure?"

"That belongs to your Liu family?" Zeng Shiqiang said. "As far as I know, it seems that Liu Chengji got it first, right? Li Liang, the director of the Shuzhou Special Administration Bureau, was right there at the time. Liu Chengji found the thing and had just gotten his hands on it when Liu Chenghong attacked him without saying a word. If Liu Chengji hadn't had a protective talisman on him, he probably would have been seriously injured."

“My family, the Liu family, discovered that thing a long time ago, but it wasn’t ripe yet, so we haven’t taken it,” Liu Chengbo said. “My family, the Liu family, has also been keeping an eye on that place. Otherwise, how could we have happened to stumble upon it?”

“If your Liu family really discovered it a long time ago, we haven’t seen you rent that land or anything. You haven’t even left any markers,” Zeng Shiqiang said. “Clan Chief Liu, what you’re saying is a bit of a stretch.”

Who would mark an immature treasure?

However, the decision not to rent that land has indeed raised questions and caused controversy.

“Liu Chengji and Guo Tianyou are people that my Special Administration Bureau borrowed from Taoyuan Village,” Zeng Shiqiang said. “Now that your Liu family’s people have injured someone, Xu Yue from Taoyuan Village has come to my Special Administration Bureau to demand an explanation. If the Liu family’s attitude is like this, then next time it won’t be me demanding an explanation, but perhaps someone from Taoyuan Village as well.”

"Xu Yue from Taoyuan Village?" Liu Chengbo said, "A rising star, does he really think the Liu family is easy to bully?"

Liu Chengbo finally understood why Zeng Shiqiang had come to his door.

This was due to pressure from Xu Yue of Taoyuan Village.

How could he not have heard of Xu Yue's name?

"Bully?"

Zeng Shiqiang was unsure whether he could accept or reject these two words.

“I haven’t had much contact with Xu Yue, but I know he’s protective of his own,” Zeng Shiqiang said. “Guo Tianyou was the first person to side with him. This time, your Liu family not only injured Liu Chengji, but also Guo Tianyou.”

As for the Liu family members, were they more seriously injured?

That's not reasonable either.

Who told Liu Chenghong to make the first move?

Moreover, they acted directly without saying a word beforehand.

To put it bluntly, it was a sneak attack.

The sneak attack failed, so they launched a full-scale assault and were injured.

Who can blame this?

Besides, it's all about the winner taking all; it's that simple.

If you lose, you have to admit it; if you get hit, you have to stand up straight.

"My Liu family members were injured even more severely!"

Liu Chengbo spoke again, his tone even colder than before.

“Your men struck first,” Zeng Shiqiang said. “Clan Chief Liu, don’t blame me for not warning you. Xu Yue is also very vengeful. He was attacked by foreign Holy Knights, the Divine Court, and the Sun God Alliance, and then he used the overseas Hongmen to inflict heavy losses on them.”

"Would I, Liu, be afraid of him?"

Liu Chengbo snorted coldly.

He had naturally heard about that matter.

But would Xu Yue dare to offer a reward for the lives of the Liu family members?
He dare not.

Because Liu is based in the country.

The Special Administration Bureau would not allow such a thing to happen.

Even if there is a reason.

Although Taoyuan Village is wealthy and powerful, its rise to prominence was too short and its foundation too weak.

There may be many experts, but how can they compare to the Liu family?

“Is that so?” Zeng Shiqiang said, “Clan Chief Liu, don’t forget that when he was in the third realm, he encountered the Little Red Dot expert, who killed a fourth-realm expert and crippled two third-realm experts. After reaching the fourth realm, he was attacked by experts from the Divine Court, the Holy Knights, and the Sun God Alliance, and killed another fourth-realm expert and several third-realm experts.”

The Liu family of Nantian is an extremely powerful force in the cultivation world.

There are not only four realms, but also many three realms.

However, there are still fewer fourth-realm and third-realm cultivators who have died at Xu Yue's hands.

Liu Chengbo understood what Zeng Shiqiang meant.

It's simply saying that Liu Shi of Nantian was defeated by Xu Yue alone, not to mention that there are many other experts in Taoyuan Village.

Of course, there's another meaning: Xu Yue has a strong desire to kill!

Liu Chengbo remained silent.

Taoyuan Village may have a low level of cultural heritage, but Xu Yue's combat strength is indeed ridiculously strong.

Does Liu really need to go up against Xu Yue?

But if he were to back down, the reputation of the Liu family would inevitably be affected.

“The Special Administration Bureau doesn’t want your Liu family to clash with Taoyuan Village,” Zeng Shiqiang continued. “But if you do, then good luck to you. We’ve done our best.”

How did you try your best?
They came here demanding that the Liu family give Taoyuan Village an explanation.
Liu Chengbo remained silent, his face cold.

As for giving the Special Administration Bureau an explanation?
The Special Administration probably doesn't care at all.

If Xu Yue hadn't put pressure on them, Zeng Shiqiang probably wouldn't have come to their door.

If they really clash with Taoyuan Village, then the Special Administration Bureau will definitely take their side.

Although the Liu family had cooperation with the Special Administration Bureau and their relationship was acceptable.

Compared to Peach Blossom Village, it's nothing.
