Chapter 193 Contract

While Xu Mu and Shang Yaoyao were fighting, Luo Qingchen sneaked out from the back door and quickly returned to his small courtyard.

After casting a spell to clean up the yard, he just took a breath and was about to check his own cultivation when there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Sister, are you back?"

Li Heng's voice came from outside.

His yard is next to Luochen, so he probably came to check after hearing some noise.

The door opened, revealing Luo Qingchen's face that he had not seen for a long time, and Li Heng had a look of surprise on his face.

"Senior sister, really, where have you been during this time? Why did you stay there for so long? How is the master?!"

Li Heng came up and asked a lot of questions.

"this……"

Luo Qingchen didn't know how to explain it for a while. She had been in Xu Mu's room during this period and had never gone to find the master at all.

"You didn't find it, right? I knew it!"

Li Heng sighed and made up all the contents in advance.

"I didn't expect the master to do such a thing, but the matter has come to this, and there is nothing we can do! Senior sister, do you have any plans in the future?"

"ah?"

Li Heng changed the topic so quickly that Luo Qingchen didn't know how to answer the question.

Li Heng didn't notice Luo Qingchen's abnormality and said to himself: "The Qi training period is okay. After we advance to the foundation building stage, the resources produced on the mountain alone are not enough for the two of us to practice. I decided to wait until the advanced stage. After consolidating the foundation building skills, we will go down the mountain to practice, do you want to come with us?"

Li Heng looked at Luo Qingchen with hopeful eyes.

Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat and he immediately understood what Li Heng meant.

With Li Heng's talent, he could have gone to better mountains, but he insisted on staying. Luo Qingchen naturally understood what he meant.

It's just that Luo Qingchen didn't say anything because of his complicated situation.

Now that he is practicing dual cultivation with Xu Mu, it is even more impossible.

Li Heng had always deliberately concealed it, but this time it was probably because she had been away for too long that he finally made up his mind to reveal his feelings.

But still very reserved.

Luo Qingchen hesitated and shook his head.

"Junior brother, you can go alone. I have to stay on the mountain to take care of the master."

Li Heng's expression immediately collapsed.

He didn't believe that Luo Qingchen couldn't understand the meaning of his words. This was obviously an excuse.

"Senior sister, it's not like you don't know about the master. Your presence or absence has no impact on him. Do you have to give up your practice for him? Isn't it enough to repay his kindness for so many years?"

Li Heng refused to give up and wanted to continue persuading.

"Junior brother, you'd better go back. I have my own plans! You're already a grown-up, so it's time to find someone to start a family with. Junior Sister Lin from Wangjian Peak is great. Don't let her down!"

After saying that, Luo Qingchen closed the door.

The last sentence almost made her mind clear.

Li Hengru was struck by lightning and stood there blankly. After a long time, he left in despair.

On the other side, Xu Mu followed Shang Yaoyao to the merchant's residence in Tianhe City and met Shang Lian again.

"Listen to Yaoyao, you are willing to join our business, but do you need me to agree to a condition?"

Shang Lian waved his hand and asked his servants to push him down, leaving Xu Mu alone in the room.

"good!"

Xu Mu nodded.

"What conditions?"

"I want to marry Senior Sister Shang!"

Shang Lian's eyes twitched, thinking that it was as expected.

Young people like to think about irrelevant things.

"You should know that I can't promise you!"

It was impossible for Shang Lian to offend the Cao family for Xu Mu. As for his daughter's happiness, he didn't bother to care.

The love and hate of young people are just impulses. After a long time and experience, they will naturally wake up.

"I know."

Xu Mu nodded, his expression not changing much.

He doesn't really like selling medicine, he just wants to save the other party some trouble.

"Then what do you mean?" Shang Lian asked confused.

"We can change the way. I join the merchant, but Senior Sister Shang cannot get married for a hundred years. When I advance to the Golden Elixir, I will take Senior Sister Shang to my door to cancel the engagement in person!"

According to the information I have heard over the years, there is a high probability that his clone will fall out with the Tianhe Sect, because the Tianyi Divine Water he needs is related to the lifeline of the Tianhe Sect.

If there was a conflict between the two sides, it would be very troublesome to have children and a wife. This was one of the reasons why he agreed to Luo Qingchen so readily.

However, if you don't get married and don't become a son-in-law, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the big family and powerful forces, and there will be no resources.

So Xu Mu planned to use the name of Shang Yao Yao to build a plank road in secret and trick the merchants there.

"Are you kidding?"

Shang Lian was shocked by Xu Mu's words.

Young people are really willing to do anything for love.

"If Uncle Shang doesn't believe it, I can sign the contract!"

By doing this, Xu Mu was tantamount to handing in a certificate of surrender and giving Shang Lian the handle.

Shang Lian hesitated.

If Xu Mu can really advance to the golden elixir within a hundred years, even if he cannot advance to the Nascent Soul in the future, it is certain that he will advance to the later stage of the golden elixir. Coupled with his magical talent, he may become an invincible being in the golden elixir realm.

With such potential and status, it is indeed impossible for the Cao family to offend him for a woman.

There are only two Nascent Souls in the entire Tianhe Sect, and whether the Tianhe Patriarch is still alive or not is a question. In this case, as long as Xu Mu advances to the late stage of Jindan, he will definitely be a high-level member of the Tianhe Sect in the future, one person below ten thousand people. Even the five major families together can't afford to offend him.

The five major families may sound powerful, but in fact they are just ordinary Jindan forces. The strongest Cao family is only about the same as the Liyang Sect, so how dare they offend the top leaders of the Tianhe Sect.

There is another reason. After a hundred years, it is still a question whether the two of them can still have feelings. When the time comes, they may separate directly. There is no need to offend the Cao family and they can gain a genius for nothing.

A hundred years is not a long time for them, so finding a few reasons to shirk it is not a big problem.

"I can promise you! After all, I am also Yaoyao's father, so I naturally hope she can be happy!" Shang Lian pretended to sigh.

"Thank you Uncle Shang!"

Xu Mu also showed a hint of emotion in cooperation.

"Don't be too happy first. I promise you can, but I have to write the contract!"

"Can!"

Xu Mu agreed immediately.

In the end, the two signed two contracts, one for dealing with the outside world, and one for private transactions, which could be used to restrict each other.

With these two contracts, unless Xu Mu doesn't want to hang out in the Tianhe Sect area, he will be driven by the merchants.

This is not because the merchants are harsh. No matter which force Xu Mu joins, the situation is the same. It is impossible for any force to just invest without getting anything back.

After his cultivation reaches a certain level, Xu Mu must perform the merchant's tasks.

However, Xu Mu naturally has his own way of dealing with it, and he will not be like ordinary cultivators who have to risk their lives to pay it back.

"We should also take this opportunity to show off our talents in other areas!"

Joining the merchant is just to hide from others. He can't really rely on the other party. It would be too slow to advance.

After signing the contract, Xu Mu said goodbye and left.

"Dad, what did you say? You didn't bully him, did you?"

As soon as Xu Mu left, Shang Yaoyao came over to ask about the situation.

"Didn't he discuss this with you?" Shang Lian asked in surprise.

"What to discuss?"

"..."

Could it be that this bastard was wishful thinking?
