Borrowing a sword

Chapter 28 Arrogant
After Niu Yuanshan arrived at the dungeon, he completely took control of the situation.

Liu Tianfeng is so old, how could he not understand what he meant?
The old man immediately understood.

"That old ox really thinks things through," he thought.

Since you injured the Sixth Elder's people, you should at least show some appreciation, shouldn't you?

If this is investigated and someone is held accountable, the consequences will be unimaginable!
In fact, even if Niu Yuanshan hadn't reminded him now, Liu Tianfeng would have realized it after a while and then brought gifts to apologize.

Because Old Niu had used a secret telepathic transmission, only Liu Tianfeng could hear it. Therefore, his eldest son and nephew were completely confused.

"Father is letting him go like this?"

Why does Uncle look so pale?

Niu Yuanshan is the least senior among the nine deacons; surely that's not the case.
Soon they heard Liu Tianfeng say, "It's all a misunderstanding, my dear nephew, it's all a misunderstanding!"

The way they address each other has changed all of a sudden.

"All the fault lies with us."

"But everything that happened today was too rushed, and I was not prepared at all."

"How about this, I will prepare a generous gift and visit my nephew tomorrow to apologize."

"Nephew, what do you think?"

Where was the old man's former imposing manner at this moment?

This left Liu Chengqi and Liu Chenggong completely stunned.

Chu Huaixu accepted it calmly.

I'm the one who's taken the place of the world's protagonist!

Niu Yuanshan listened from the side and felt it was time for him to take action.

To be precise, all those previous actions were merely a prelude to his plan.

This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is shrewd!
"I do have a suggestion." A peacemaker's smile appeared on his face.

"Please speak, Steward Niu!" Liu Tianfeng was extremely cooperative, his tone quite generous, as if he could agree to any condition.

"Steward Liu, why don't you give each of them a piece of the jade tablet you obtained earlier?" Niu Yuanshan revealed his true intentions.

Upon hearing this, the old man's smile instantly froze.

The atmosphere inside the dungeon changed in an instant.

Liu Tianfeng was clearly unwilling to say "this".

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengqi also became anxious: "Father!"

This is my lucky break!
Whether my damaged Blazing Spirit Embryo can be restored depends on it!
Liu Tianfeng, who had a son late in life, had always doted on his only son, but even so, he couldn't help but glare at him at this moment.

"Shut up!" he yelled.

It all started because of you! Of all people to mess with, you had to go and provoke the Sixth Elder's people!
At first, Liu Tianfeng felt quite ashamed, as he couldn't beat someone at the Six Apertures Realm and had only opened two apertures.

Now I just feel fortunate: thankfully I couldn't beat them.
At this moment, faced with Niu Yuanshan's outrageous demands, he hesitated for a few seconds.

Chu Huaixu watched him silently, feeling that the old man gave off a sense of being shrewd and calculating, yet impossible to understand.

Finally, Liu Tianfeng waved his hand and took out two jade fragments from the storage space of his steward token.

They look like mutton fat jade, with patterns carved on them, exuding a faint spiritual charm.

The Liu father and son could only console themselves: "There are ten jade pendant fragments in total. Giving them two is still acceptable."

The key is not to anger the Sixth Elder!
Ultimately, it's because Niu Yuanshan's persona has been so deeply ingrained in people's minds.

"Given Lao Niu's honest and kind nature, the more outrageous his demands, the more he's implying to me that this kid has powerful connections!"

Among all the stewards in the outer sect, this diligent and hardworking man is the most capable. He is always thorough in his work, and everyone thinks he is reliable.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Tianfeng sent two jade fragments floating to Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang.

"Keep it safe," Niu Yuanshan said gently.

The two immediately stored the jade fragments into their storage tokens.

In an instant, Chu Huaixu heard a voice that only he could hear.

"[Ding! You have successfully completed the mission—revenge from Liu Chengqi.]"

"You have successfully gained 1000 experience points."

"Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked the hidden dungeon—the Pill King's Token!"

Inside the dungeon, Chu Huaixu felt a surge of joy. Everything was progressing too smoothly.

The Class A mission was successfully completed, and with the help of Niu Yuanshan, an insider, the hidden dungeon was successfully unlocked.

However, all of this is basically an impossible task for normal beginner players, so Grade A is quite reasonable.

These three scoundrels of the Liu family can be considered the evil big bosses of the newbie village.

If Chu Huaixu weren't riding on Xu Ziqing's protagonist halo, and relied solely on Niu Yuanshan, he could at best only complete the mission, and there might even be a series of troubles afterward!
"Is this the thrill of being the protagonist of the world?" Chu Huaixu wondered to himself.

He personally interprets the jade fragment he just obtained as a key to unlock the dungeon.

"【Danwang Token】? I've never seen this hidden dungeon mentioned on the game forums."

"That must have happened before the game's public beta."

However, he had heard of the name Dan Wang.

In the art of alchemy, the highest achievement undoubtedly belongs to the Dao Ancestor.

The Daoist Ancestor created the Qi-Opening Pill, ushering in a golden age of cultivation!

Secondly, there is the Pill King!
Chu Huaixu still remembers the sensation when the [Danwang Secret Realm] appeared in the world when he played "Borrowing Swords".

The matter concerns the inheritance of the Pill King, and the entire Xuanhuang Realm is in an uproar. All the major player guilds are eager to get a share of the pie.

"Could there be any connection between this [Danwang Token] and the [Danwang Secret Realm]?" he wondered to himself.

He is not sure about this at the moment.

The hidden dungeon in the beginner village shouldn't be this high-level.

Today's trip was very fruitful.

Niu Yuanshan turned to Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang and asked, "Are you two satisfied with this result?"

Liu Tianfeng increasingly felt that Lao Niu was a shrewd person; this was tantamount to asking them whether they would go to the Sixth Elder to complain, and whether this misunderstanding could be put to rest.

The old man was in great pain, but he couldn't ask these questions. Niu Yuanshan, however, was the perfect person to ask.

There was no other way; after all, what they wanted just now was Chu Huaixu's life!

If things aren't handled properly, it could create a grudge with the Sixth Elder.

Upon hearing this, Han Shuangjiang remained silent, only looking at Chu Huaixu.

His opinion is my opinion.

Chu Huaixu took a few steps forward and walked up to the three Lius.

"Sir, I have another question to ask you." He remained polite and courteous, bowing with his hands clasped.

He was impeccably polite from beginning to end.

Liu Tianfeng dared not be presumptuous at this moment. Seeing his appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief, as he now had a way to save face. He quickly reached out his hand, intending to help Chu Huaixu, who was bowing with his hands clasped in front of him.

However, just as he reached out, Chu Huaixu moved.

Everything happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to react.

A cultivator at the third realm has a constant flow of energy throughout their body and keen senses, making them difficult to ambush and causing them to react instinctively.

The problem is, Chu Huaixu wasn't hitting him.

Just as Liu Tianfeng realized what was happening, a rock-solid spiritual force blocked him.

It's Niu Yuanshan!

Chu Huaixu struck Liu Chengqi on the chest with a palm strike, similar to what happened in the courtyard earlier today.

Because of his perfect body control, he struck the same spot with great precision.

Those ribs that had just been set with the help of elixirs snapped instantly!
I told you to connect it, so connect it!

——【Eight Desolate Dragons】!
Liu Chengqi immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream. The familiar scene had happened twice in one day. The excruciating pain from the same spot almost made him faint!
After doing all this, Chu Huaixu slowly stood up and withdrew his palm.

This tall, upright young man was half a head taller than Liu Tianfeng.

He stared directly into the other person's eyes and said loudly:
"I just asked the steward which rule I broke."

"Please repeat that, Deacon Liu!"

"This disciple is all ears!"
