Chapter 963: Foothold

"You have the initiative in this matter. Whether you are willing to join hands with me is entirely up to you." Qingxiu said sincerely, "I don't mean to use you." Qingxiu explained patiently. She knew that with Lin Mu's intelligence, he would soon think of this after this brief joy. She was so proactive that it was inevitable that people would think too much. "So that's what you're talking about." Lin Mu smiled, "How can this be considered as exploitation?"

"Exploitation means framing me so that you can benefit from it." Lin Mu said directly, "You are willing to sell a shop to me, which is a great help to me and allows me to gain a foothold in Ningxiang City. I felt it was very difficult to deal with Lingbao Sect alone, and I didn't have the confidence. If you can help me fight against Lingbao Sect, it would be like having a powerful helper."

Lin Mu said with a smile, "This is obviously a good thing for me. Of course, you can also benefit from it, but by comparison, I am the one who benefits the most. If this is considered exploitation, then I hope you can use me more times."

Qingxiu couldn't help but smile when she heard what Lin Mu said.

She was completely relieved.

Lin Mu also laughed.

His words were from the heart.

Qingxiu was like a bright light in the dark night and a charcoal fire in the cold winter to him. When he was in the most difficult and helpless time, she lent him a hand. This was not an exploitation at all.

To put it more rationally, it could be said that they joined forces.

It was not a matter of who was exploiting whom. After all, this was a good thing for both him and Qingxiu. He got what he wanted, bought the land for building Feixian Palace, and had a foothold in Ningxiang City.

To put it more emotionally, it could be said that he had made a very good friend.

In the future, if Lingbaomen came to embarrass Qingxiu again, he would definitely not stand idly by.

"Lingbaomen is doing evil for themselves." Lin Mu said, "If they stop here, I don't want to cause trouble, but if they keep chasing and embarrass me or you again, we will join forces to give them a good show."

Qingxiu smiled and said, "That's what I meant."

It is really unwise to take the initiative to provoke Lingbaomen now.

As long as Lingbaomen is willing to stop here, this matter will be forgotten.

However, would Lingbao Sect let go so easily? Qingxiu knew that this possibility was very small.

At present, she could only take one step at a time.

She couldn't let Lin Mu attack Lingbao Sect now, destroy Lingbao Sect, and solve the future troubles for her without any worries.

Not to mention whether Lin Mu was really as rumored, even the late stage of fusion cultivators were no match for him. Even if he was really that powerful, he was only one person after all.

There were five masters of the fusion stage in Lingbao Sect. Wang Le had the highest cultivation level, which was already in the late stage of fusion. He had also comprehended the sword domain, but it was only in the early stage, which was naturally incomparable to the late stage of Lin Mu's rumored cultivation level. However, such cultivation level was already a top master in a big city like Ningxiang City.

However, there were only two masters of the fusion stage in Qingyu Sect. In addition to her cultivation level of the middle stage of fusion, there was also an elder of the previous generation who was still alive in the sect. Her cultivation level was also the middle stage of fusion, but she had been in seclusion and rarely came out.

Including Lin Mu, there are only three fusion-stage cultivators. Such strength is considered the top in Ningxiang City, but it is still far inferior to Lingbao Sect.

In particular, Lingbao Sect is known for its weapon refining, and each of them has a powerful spiritual magic weapon, and their strength is extremely strong.

Lin Mu and Wang Le may not win in a one-on-one duel.

It is nothing but a pipe dream for her and the elders of the sect to fight against the four fusion-stage cultivators of Lingbao Sect.

The Qingyu Sect and Lin Mu joined forces, and they could only be regarded as having the power to protect themselves, and could not really compete with Lingbao Sect.
