Chapter 531: Foundation Building Method!
He said he wanted Ding Xue to leave, but Wei Hong was thinking about whether to silence him or not.
If he keeps silent, Ding Xue may expose his secrets after leaving and cause him countless troubles. This is something Wei Hong will never tolerate.
However, silencing him went against Wei Hong's original intention. Ding Xue had no enmity with him and posed no threat to him. He would be reluctant to silence him directly.
However, when Wei Hong was hesitant, Ding Xue said weakly: "Fellow Daoist Wei, do you think I can live here with you?"
"Stay with me?"
Wei Hong was still hesitating whether to silence him or not, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He hadn't made up his mind yet, but Ding Xue came directly to his door, which made him quite dumbfounded.
"Yes, yes!" Ding Xue hurriedly squeezed out a pitiful smile, and then explained in a low voice: "It's too dangerous outside, people die every day, and I don't have much living supplies. If I stay outside, maybe It won't take long for me to be killed by other monks."
"I think this place, Fellow Daoist Wei, seems to be extremely safe. People from outside can't find this place. So, can Fellow Daoist Wei let me live here?"
Afraid of Wei Hong's rejection, Ding Xue immediately added: "Of course, I will definitely not live in vain. I am willing to pay the rent as if I have rented a residence here. I don't know if that's okay? How much rent does it cost, Fellow Daoist Wei, just tell me directly ”
After saying that, Ding Xue kept looking at Wei Hong with eyes full of hope.
"Stay here? Here."
Wei Hong frowned at first, then a trace of confusion and hesitation appeared on his face.
He was also quickly thinking about the feasibility of this matter to see if Ding Xue could stay.
To be honest, Wei Hong had no idea about keeping Ding Xue. He only thought about how to keep his secret.
But Ding Xue offered to stay, which suddenly gave Wei Hong a different idea.
He didn't want to silence him, but he also wanted to keep his secret, so leaving Ding Xue here seemed to suit his needs and seemed to be the most appropriate solution.
As long as Ding Xue doesn't go out, his underground palace location cannot be exposed.
Ding Xue was timid and non-threatening, which made Wei Hong feel reassured.
Even if all this is Ding Xue's disguise, Wei Hong is confident that he will not trick her. There are formation protections everywhere in the underground palace, and he is not afraid even if Ding Xue is a master of peak Qi training.
Therefore, various thoughts flashed through his mind very quickly.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, is it inappropriate for you to stay here?"
Wei Hong had already accepted Ding Xue's request in his heart, but on the surface he still seemed very embarrassed.
When Ding Xue saw this, she immediately felt happy, because she knew that if she didn't refuse directly, she would be in trouble, so she immediately begged and said: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Wei, the little girl is not a threat to Fellow Daoist, and I only ask for a place to stay. I have no other ideas. I hope fellow Taoist Wei will show mercy and save the little girl. I am very grateful!"
"In this case, I am willing to rent a room at the price of two hundred spiritual stones per month. Do you think it is okay, Fellow Daoist Wei?"
Ding Xue was very smart and directly offered the rent price.
Because she knew very well that Wei Hong was waiting for a price if he didn't refuse directly.
And she must seize this opportunity to survive, so she bids decisively.
But Wei Hong shook his head slightly and said: "Fellow Daoist Ding, this is not the past. Two hundred spiritual stones seem to be a lot, but you can't buy anything at all when you take it outside. Nowadays, a pound of high-grade spiritual rice can be purchased for at least thirty dollars on the black market." It’s a spiritual stone, you have these two hundred spiritual stones.”
Wei Hong's meaning is very clear. Your two hundred spirit stones are not a high price at all, but are not worth mentioning. If there is no other rent, there is no need to say more.
Ding Xue's face turned pale. She had been staying in the small courtyard and never went out. Unexpectedly, at this time, spirit stones were no longer hard currency, but the least valuable currency. In this way, two hundred spirit stones per month seemed like Not really.
However, she was also very smart. Seeing that the spirit stone could not impress Wei Hong, she immediately took out a stack of talismans and a few jade slips and said: "Since the spirit stone is not good, then I still have more than twenty first-level top-grade ones." The Fire Dragon Talisman and the Ice Spear Talisman, and these are three first-level magic inheritances, just treat them as my rent, do you think this is okay, Fellow Daoist Wei?"
"Oh? What kind of magic is it?" Wei Hong asked with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"It's the Wood Thunder Technique, the Golden Sword Technique and the Storm Technique!" Ding Xue replied immediately.
"What a pity, Wei is not short of talismans and spells!" When Wei Hong heard that it was these three spells, he immediately lost interest, but shook his head and refused: "Fellow Daoist Ding, since we have talked about this, Wei is not afraid. Tell you the truth, if I let you stay here Live, Wei will not only have to bear more risks, but also be responsible for the materials needed for daily life, and even some secrets may be exposed. Therefore, if Daoyou Ding does not have something that is enough to tempt Wei, Wei will definitely not I will promise you to stay.”
Seeing Ding Xue's sincerity in wanting to stay, Wei Hong stopped playing charades with her. Instead, he told her his thoughts and let her think about it herself.
His meaning is also extremely simple, that is, Ding Xue's sincerity is not enough, and it must be increased until it can impress him.
After hearing what Wei Hong said, Ding Xue's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked as if she was about to cry, making her look even more weak and pitiful.
However, Wei Hong didn't buy her trick at all, just stared at her expressionlessly.
After a long while, Ding Xue seemed to be struggling with her thoughts. She knew that this was probably the only place where she could survive, and Wei Hong didn't look mean, so she seemed to have made some important decision.
"Daoyou Wei!" Ding Xue bit her lip, looked up at Wei Hong, and asked with a trembling voice: "If I am willing to give you a set of foundation-building methods, I wonder if you are willing to protect me?"
This time, Ding Xue didn't say living, but asked Wei Hong to provide her with shelter. Obviously, she thought that the value of what she brought out was very extraordinary, and even so valuable that Wei Hong's protection was needed to offset its value.
"What? You have a foundation-building method?"
Sure enough, after hearing Ding Xue's words, Wei Hong's face changed drastically and he screamed.
At this moment, his eyes looking at Ding Xue became much more serious.
At the same time, there was a strong doubt in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that Ding Xue, a cultivator of the sixth level of Qi training, would have such a valuable thing!
