Chapter 124 Transaction
As soon as Xu Mu arrived at the island where Xu Yiren lived, he was greeted by waiting disciples and respectfully took him to the cave where Xu Yiren lived.
Compared with Jing Luochen's residence, Xu Yiren's cave was much simpler. It was somewhat similar to Xu Mu's in that it was built halfway up a mountain, but the aura was much richer than Xu Mu's.
With the help of the rich spiritual energy, many spiritual fields have been opened around, where many precious medicinal materials and spiritual plants are planted, and there are dedicated personnel responsible for taking care of them.
Although this place is not as luxurious as Jing Luochen's place, it looks more like a cultivator's cave.
Seeing Xu Yiren again after nearly a month, Xu Mu could clearly feel the haggardness on the other person's body, revealing a trace of a woman's weakness.
Without Jing Luochen as her backer, she obviously wasn't having a good month.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, please sit down!"
Xu Yiren stood up and smoothed her hair, smiled, and stretched out her hand to ask Xu Mu to sit down.
Xu Mu was not polite, he cupped his hands and sat down on the chair in the hall.
Xu Yiren waved his hand to push back all his men, and then personally brewed tea for Xu Mu. Every move he made was filled with silent temptation.
Wisps of strange fragrance emanated from Xu Yiren's body, accompanied by the fragrance of tea, lingering in Xu Mu's nose.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, it's better not to use your unskilled charm skills. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Xu Mu said in a calm tone.
"Fellow Daoist Xu is indeed a very human being, he can see through it at a glance!"
Xu Yiren smiled, not feeling embarrassed, and said straight to the point: "I'm looking for fellow Taoist Xu to come here. It's not for anything else. I just hope that when the gang leader is elected tomorrow, fellow daoist can choose me!"
Xu Mu's expression didn't change much. He had guessed Xu Yiren's purpose before he came.
He picked up the tea cup and gently stirred the floating tea leaves with the tea lid.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, how confident are you?"
"I'm not sure! If fellow Taoist don't support me, then I really won't be sure at all!"
Xu Yiren forced out a forced smile, looking lonely.
In the past month, she had been running around, taking out all her treasures. As a result, the other people were still talking about things, and no one clearly expressed their support for her.
"Do you really want to be the leader of this gang?"
Xu Mu put down the teacup and tapped the table gently.
Hearing Xu Mu's inquiry, Xu Yiren was stunned for a moment, then turned to smile bitterly and said: "If you can become me, of course I won't be willing to be a Fangshi. Although the income of the three Fangshis is not much, if it is run well, it will be enough for me to practice to We are in the advanced stage of foundation building! Compared to venturing into the deep sea, running the city is obviously much safer!"
To put it bluntly, Xu Yiren wanted a stable environment.
In the beginning, she relied on Jing Luochen for the same reason.
Xu Mu's eyes flickered and he said, "If I can make fellow Taoist become the leader of the Jinghai Gang, what can you do to repay me?"
"Well?"
Xu Yiren was stunned again and turned to look at Xu Mu, as if meeting him for the first time.
Looking at Xu Mu's look, it didn't look like he was joking. Xu Yiren was silent for a moment and said, "If fellow Taoist can make me the leader of the gang, then everything I give to Jing Luochen can be given to fellow Taoist!"
"Including you?"
Xu Mu finally picked up the tea and took a sip.
Xu Yiren couldn't help but blush slightly, and said angrily: "Fellow Taoist, don't make fun of me!"
"I'm not kidding!"
Xu Mu said lightly.
While subduing the Whale Sea Gang, you can earn some achievements along the way, so why not do it.
"If fellow Taoist can really let me be the leader of the gang, what's the harm in committing myself to fellow Taoist!"
Xu Yiren snorted coldly, sounding like he was talking angrily.
"Then it's a deal!"
Xu Mu stood up and said, "Fellow Taoist, please tell me the locations of the caves of the other elders!"
"What do you want to do?" Xu Yiren asked with some confusion.
"Of course I have to convince them."
"Are you kidding me?"
Xu Yiren looked at him in shock.
This month, her words were almost worn out, and she didn't try to persuade anyone. Now that the election was coming soon, how could he try to persuade a few people.
"Fellow Taoist, just wait for my good news!"
Xu Mu smiled.
"Well!"
Xu Yiren hesitated for a moment, but still handed over the location of the cave to Xu Mu, thinking that she would not lose anything.
Before Xu Mu left, he looked Xu Yiren up and down and said, "Fellow Taoist, don't forget your last promise."
"..."
This look of being treated like a commodity made Xu Yiren's whole body feel hot and her face couldn't help but turn red.
This bastard, couldn't he have been targeting me when he first joined the gang?
"Don't worry! I will do what I say!"
Xu Yiren gritted his silver teeth and said.
After Xu Mu left, she suddenly became restless. She recalled Xu Mu's face in her mind, and suddenly felt that he was quite handsome, at least much better than Jing Luochen's elder face.
Her heartbeat sped up inexplicably.
The original commitment to Jing Luochen was just for profit, without any emotion at all, but Xu Mu——
In fact, even if you can't become a gang leader, it doesn't seem impossible.
Xu Mu's talent is obviously better than hers. It would be a good thing if they could form a Taoist couple and support each other.
At this time, she seemed to suddenly not be so strong about the position of gang leader.
Is there anything wrong with that bastard?
She suddenly began to worry about Xu Mu's safety.
One day later, Xu Mu returned from outside with a calm expression, as if he had gone out for a walk.
Without waiting for Xu Yiren to ask, he said: "It's done."
"nailed it?"
Xu Yiren, who originally asked him if it was okay, was confused by this sentence, but fortunately he reacted quickly.
"you sure?"
Xu Yiren said with distrust in his eyes.
I thought, this is too easy, right?
She has been friends with several people for more than ten years. She worked hard for a month but couldn't get it done. Xu Mu just went out and got it done in one day. It doesn't look real at all.
"Whether it's true or not, we won't know tomorrow!"
Xu Mu sat on a chair and meditated leisurely with his eyes closed.
Xu Yiren, who originally wanted to inquire carefully, could only endure it.
Although she didn't believe that Xu Mu could do it, Xu Mu didn't look like he was fake. Xu Yiren's mood became complicated for a while. She was worried that it was fake and worried that it was true.
What Xu Yiren didn't realize was that she had implicitly relied on Xu Mu.
On the second day, Xu Mu and Xu Yiren set off together and met four other people on Kuroshio Island.
Xu Yiren carefully observed the four people and found nothing unusual, and looked at Xu Mu again with doubt.
Unfortunately, Xu Mu had no intention of explaining, and the old god sat on the chair again.
Xu Yiren could only endure the anxiety in her heart and sat down next to Xu Mu, like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.
"Um?"
When Shen Gai saw that Xu Yiren was not sitting at the top position, but instead sitting at the edge, he was confused for a moment, then reacted instantly and thought to himself:
"This silly woman finally has some self-awareness!"
He stood up with a smile and said: "One month has come and it seems that Brother Jing will not be able to come back. For the future of the gang, we must elect a new gang leader!"
He looked around and continued: "Do you have any ideas?"
After speaking, he looked at Yang Wanshou.
A few days ago, he had already discussed with Yang Wanshou and asked Yang Wanshou to recommend him at the meeting.
As discussed, Yang Wanshou stood up leisurely, stroked his beard and said, "What Fellow Daoist Shen said makes sense. I feel that among all the people present, the one who is qualified for the position of gang leader is——"
Shen Gai looked complacent and was already thinking about how to be humble.
"Xu Yiren cannot promise fellow Taoist!"
