Chapter 283: 161, 162, breaking through Grade B, Four Strong Four Evil, Sun Buddha Sutra (large Chapter - subscription request)

The next day...

Hanping Village, Top-Quality Delicacies Pavilion.

Su Mengzhen faced Xiao Bi and Xiao Yan, discussing matters.

The table was bare except for some tea, without a single dish.

"Hanping Village is now like an isolated island. Aside from the surrounding Ghost Servants having departed, I fear that the empty wilderness is now such that you encounter various Ghost Servants every few steps... How about this, my Xiao Family can not only take in Song Cheng, but is also willing to accept your Su Family and provide a place for your Ice Coffin."

"A mindless Ghost Servant is only attracted by Yang Qi and will subconsciously pounce towards it, but they won’t actively seek out Yang Qi. So, Hanping Village is still safe. Our Su Family is doing very well here."

"’Doing very well’ is something the Head of the Su Family should know better," he said.

"However, even if the outside is full of Ghost Servants, what impact does it have on us Noble Families? Mr. Xiao should also understand that for a Noble Family, the greatest crisis is not the deteriorating environment, but the moment the family relocates."

"If we don’t relocate, nobody knows where we are."

"Once we relocate, that’s when we expose our weaknesses."

"The Head of the Su Family might not yet know that the Reappear Calamity Technique you hold is most likely incorrect. You’re still alive because you haven’t undergone the calamity yet.

But my Xiao Family holds the true Secret Technique for passing the calamity.

If the Head of the Su Family is willing to have the Su Family subordinate to my Xiao Family, then... this Secret Technique can be shared with the Family Head.

Then, the Head could break through the initial stages of the Soul Transformation Realm and reach higher levels."

Xiao Bi smiled slightly.

Because "Reappear Calamity" was a barrier overhanging all of the Noble Families’ heads, previously the timing was off, but now...

He squinted his eyes, his expression as calm as a still well, and said lightly, "It won’t be long before the Twin Ghosts start appearing en masse everywhere. At that time, any Noble Family that can’t pass the calamity... will be eliminated."

"The Su Family narrowly escaped calamity from Greenbird Continent, surely you don’t hope to perish here? Wouldn’t that be a disservice to your Su ancestors?"

Su Mengzhen coldly looked at Xiao Bi across from her and suddenly said, "You provide the Secret Technique, I hand over Song Cheng. You give the Five Elements Crystal, I provide his subsequent Cultivation Technique."

Although she passed the calamity, her success was in no way replicable.

She was carried out of the Reappear Calamity by Song Cheng.

Her experience in passing the calamity was "Remember to always take Song Cheng with you..."

But surely not everyone else in the Su Family could do the same?

She needed the Secret Technique.

This Secret Technique itself would also reveal a lot of information.

It could even reveal why all her known experiences with the Reappear Calamity were incorrect.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan almost spat out a mouthful of tea, then said, "You’re not even going to ask your sister’s opinion?"

Xiao Bi glanced at his "foolish teammate" and laughed, "It’s not like they can’t be Taoist companions; why would I need to ask?"

Xiao Yan stubbornly said, "What next? He joins my Xiao Family, which naturally means cutting off all prior contacts."

Xiao Bi:...

He turned his head and squinted at this "foolish teammate."

Xiao Yan said, "Am I wrong?"

Xiao Bi helplessly rubbed his forehead, lamenting internally that "family members and ordinary outsiders differ significantly in some areas"...

The air grew quiet.

Su Mengzhen sipped her tea.

Xiao Bi quickly steered the conversation back on track, saying directly, "First, disaffiliate Song Cheng from the Su Family’s Yin Residence, I’ll give half of the Secret Technique, then he’ll be listed in my Xiao Family, and I’ll give the other half."

"Then I’ll provide six Small Five Elements Crystals, and you’ll provide his subsequent Cultivation Technique. Once verified for accuracy, my Xiao Family will provide the remaining 30 crystals."

Without waiting for Su Mengzhen to speak, he continued, "Five Elements Crystals are extremely rare, there are currently no mines at all, and my Xiao Family has a very limited stock. Offering you 36 crystals already shows the sincerity of my Xiao Family in this deal."

Su Mengzhen sighed, "My sister and Little Song are deeply in love... I remember them often coming to this restaurant to eat chicken."

Xiao Bi:...

He glared fiercely at Xiao Yan, then said, "Understood, add money."

After a moment’s thought, Xiao Bi said, "First give 12 Small Five Elements Crystals, then another 60."

Su Mengzhen pursed her lips, her expression sorrowful, "Maybe... I’m not doing well as an older sister.

I am too focused on the family, trying to secure Secret Techniques and Five Elements Crystals for it, yet, I’ve let my sister down... I wonder if she will hate me?"

Xiao Bi coldly said, "First 30 Small Five Elements Crystals, then another 68, that is the limit for my Xiao Family."

Su Mengzhen’s sorrowful expression vanished, then she said, "Deal."

Puff!

Xiao Yan finally could not keep her mouthful of tea in anymore and sprayed it out, glaring at the Family Head with a look that screamed "Shameless!"

...

...

The transaction with Song Cheng went very smoothly.

Xiao Yan fully witnessed what it meant to be shameless lovers.

Both appeared to have little affection, constantly using emotions as bargaining chips for benefits.

As for Song Cheng’s Taoist Companion—Mrs. Su, she did not appear, supposedly deceived by the Head of the Su Family to somewhere else...

Truly shameless!

Xiao Yan felt quite unsettled and then pondered which woman from their Xiao Family would fancy Song Cheng.

Su Mengzhen led the two from the Xiao Family into the Su Family’s Yin Residence, then, in front of them, grasped the Spirit Tablet, looking at Song Cheng’s name on it. She held her hand steady, silently glancing at Song Cheng not far away, thinking ’Don’t deceive me, never deceive me, or I’ll hate you for life,’ then, clenching her teeth, decisively raised her hand and made a flicking motion...

Song Cheng’s name disappeared.

Su Mengzhen said, "Secret Technique."

Thus... the transaction between both parties quickly concluded.

Song Cheng’s name disappeared from the Su Family’s Spirit Tablet and appeared on the Xiao Family’s, while Su Mengzhen also provided part of the Cultivation Technique...

Xiao Bi looked at the Spirit Tablet in his house, showing Song Cheng’s name, and sighed in relief. Looking at Song Cheng, his expression softened somewhat... but this kindness was merely "superficial."
