My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 5 New sneak attack plan
The warrior was impatient, "We are the strongest young generation in Qingzhou City, bar none. How come you just came to Qingzhou City? You don't even know this."

As expected, it's the third level of Qi Refining. Chen Lang ruled out one option, which he definitely couldn't beat, so he looked at the back of the list.

"Then this Chen Pingan."

"He is at the third level of Qi Refining and was specially recruited by the Tianjian Sect this year."

"Zhao Wushuang"

"I don't know about that, at least two paragraphs, kid, do you know what you are asking?"

The warrior was impatient. This was information about a cultivator. How could it be bought with such a small amount of money? "If you want to know, go ask around. Don't you know that it's rude to ask about someone else's cultivation?"

When Chen Lang heard this, he asked, "Then what is your cultivation level?"

Hey, what a fool!
The warrior couldn't stand it any longer. So many things happened over such a small amount of money. I am only willing to tell you this because of your sincerity. Do you know that we cultivators all need spirit stones?
But at this moment, Chen Lang suddenly reached out his hand.

"What?" The warrior was puzzled.

"Now I will return the information to you, and you return the money to me."

The warrior realized that he was looking for trouble, but Chen Lang mobilized his spiritual power and burst out with momentum, and the warrior's face changed again, "You are a section."

This boy is an authentic monk!

"Is this amount of money enough to get good information?" Chen Lang said.

The warrior became much more honest. Why are these powerful monks so weak? He smiled and said, "That's enough. But I don't know much either. If you have spirit stones, I can help you find out."

Chen Lang drew his sword and showed a surprised look, "You really dare to ask for it?"

……

After receiving information provided free of charge by a kind passerby, Chen Lang left the inn.

"It's impossible to fight directly against a Qi Refining Stage 2 or Stage 3 cultivator. The black brick attack won't work either. If we use drugs and sneak attacks, we might have a 70% chance of winning. However, drugs that can poison a Stage 3 cultivator are probably a bit expensive."

As a zero-氪 player, he always pays attention to low cost and high return, and saves wherever possible.

But at the same time, the Su family is facing big problems.

"Master, rumors can't be covered up."

The fat housekeeper had a sad face. "There were too many people outside at that time. The key point was that the eunuch of the Ye family was also there. He was from the Tianjian Sect and could see clearly whether the gangster was powerful or not. We can't silence him too, can we?"

"What should we do then?" Su Dafu panicked for a moment.

This was the biggest secret of his Su family. Over the years, he had built up such a persona for his daughter. Wasn't it just for that day?

"Or I think we should just stop caring about it. The Tianjian Sect has already finalized the list, and he can't go back on his word. Chan'er at least has a good character, so she can just go and practice when the time comes." said the housekeeper.

"That's right, let's do as you say." Su Dafu thought.

"This isn't good either. At least we should take care of the other families. We are all old acquaintances. We will meet each other when we get to the sect. It's not right to lie to them for so long."

"Yes, yes, they are really capable. We'll have to trouble them to take care of us when we go to the sect." Su Dafu thought it made sense.

The fat butler continued to analyze, "Don't pay attention to the rumors outside. We are just pretending to comply with the requirements of the Tianjian Sect. We can't keep pretending forever."

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Dafu continued to think.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door, gentle but with an inexplicable pressure.

"My Tianjian Sect doesn't want a reputation?"

"Who?"

Su Dafu and the fat butler were startled awake. They had not noticed the visitor at all. After taking a closer look, they hurriedly bowed.

"Hello, two immortals."

These are envoys from the Tianjian Sect. They are the ones who came to Qingzhou City to recruit disciples.

The immortal was dressed in a white robe and sat in the main seat in a very familiar manner. Su Dafu was busy pouring tea for him himself.

The Immortal Envoy took a sip and was silent for a moment. "I heard about that incident. It had a very bad impact. The Heavenly Sword Sect has been unstable recently. If they knew that we accepted a piece of trash like your daughter, those who participated in the selection through normal channels would cause trouble again."

"Does the immortal know who did this?" Su Dafu asked.

"Are you asking me about your own affairs?" The fairy envoy sneered, but still thought about it symbolically, "It should be your competitor who did it. There is only one Qingzhou City. Think about who is the most suspicious."

"Okay then." Su Dafu could not get any substantive information, so he had to ask, "Then how do we deal with this?"

"No matter what method you use, keep this character. We will have ways to deal with it when you get to the sect, but you can't expose it before you get in, or you will be laughed at by other sects." The immortal looked at him and said meaningfully, "After all, you don't want those disciples who have worked so hard to pass the trials to know that your daughter was bought in, right? Those people are quite capable, and your daughter can't deal with those characters who fought hard no matter how much she practices."

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Dafu gave up thinking.

Can this be done?
The rumor has spread throughout the city. Can he cover it up?

I am not the granary of Qingzhou City, and I cannot control the mouths of those idle people.

"Well, can the courier give me some advice? How can we cover it up?" Su Dafu really had no idea.

"Think about it yourself. If you can't think of anything, we'll have to withdraw her place." The messenger drank his tea and stood up to leave.

Su Dafu panicked immediately. He had worked hard for so many years, endured so much hardship, and risked his life to send a child over that threshold. How could he possibly let it be withdrawn?

"I have paid so much money over the years, you see"

"Hmm?" The messenger turned around.

"Okay, I understand." Su Dafu smiled awkwardly.

As the messenger left, Su Dafu's face darkened, "What a bunch of insatiable things."

It's all that little bastard's fault. Why did you kidnap my daughter when you couldn't kidnap anyone else? Even if you wanted to kidnap her, could you wait until the recruitment was finished?

No, that won’t work either.

I, Su Dafu, am innocent. Who have I offended?

"What about that gangster? Have you found out where he is?" Su Dafu asked.

"I've been asking about it, but you also know that he used an earth-escaping talisman, which comes and goes without a trace," said the butler.

"Forget about him. How should we deal with this matter?" Su Dafu was unable to think.

He only has a business mind and doesn't really understand anything about spiritual practice.

The messenger from the Heavenly Sword Sect came down personally, and the housekeeper had no other options. "I'm afraid the old priest will have to step in and solve this problem."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Dafu's eyes lit up.

……

The Su family's priest is an accomplished master. It is said that he had entered the middle stage of foundation building ten years ago. He has traveled far and wide and has a great reputation.

Later, Su Dafu's business grew and he needed an expert to take charge. He met this expert through an introduction. It happened that the expert was looking for a place to rest. After some effort, he spent a large sum of money to hire the expert as his worshiper.

He stayed in office for eight years.

However, the master was used to being idle and usually spent most of his time in seclusion. Unless there were refugees or alchemists invading, he seldom interfered in worldly affairs, and Su Dafu seldom disturbed him either.

But today he was obviously forced into a desperate situation.

"The dream lasted for thousands of years, and I don't know how many years it has passed."

The old man in Taoist robe woke up, sighed, and saw Su Dafu standing next to him. He asked calmly, "The world is peaceful nowadays, and Taoist priests don't offend. What is there to disturb my peace?"

He lived in the cave house behind the Su family's rockery. It was not simple at all. It had a study, tea room, bedroom, etc. There was even a special room for cultural relics and antiques. They were all custom-made by Su Dafu according to the requirements of a master. He even arranged for more than a dozen servants to serve him, which was more than the number of people around him.

Su Dafu didn't care. As a master, he naturally behaved like a master. He told him all about his recent events and difficulties.

After hearing this, the old priest stroked his beard and said, "It's not that I don't want to get involved in this matter."

Su Dafu was shocked when he heard this. If you don't care, then who else can? "Master, you know that I am old now and don't have any big ideals. My biggest wish in this life is to let my children embark on the journey of seeking immortality and continue the incense."

The old priest shook his head and chuckled, "Seeking immortals and asking for directions? The road is bumpy, but it's not as comfortable as you think."

Su Dafu looked up and thought, isn't this comfortable enough for you?
With a long sigh, the old priest said, "Nowadays, those who walk around in Qingzhou City are all minor Qi-refining cultivators. Although I am not talented, I have also built my foundation for many years. I am afraid that if I make a move, the whole Qingzhou City will be shaken.

It doesn't matter if Qingzhou City is shaken, I'm just afraid that it will break the agreement of the various families. You know, I don't have the final say in Qingzhou City alone."

Su Dafu understood what he meant. Any large family would have to have a master in their household. However, their master had often taken action before, and this was not a big deal, so he made a condition:
"I'll have my staff prepare this year's salary and send it to you tomorrow."

The old priest shook his head. "I will only take action if the Taoist priests invade. I said this eight years ago. I don't like the secular world and really don't want to interfere."

Su Dafu gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "I'll prepare another three hundred taels of silver for you tomorrow. The Taoist priest has been in seclusion recently, so I'll exchange some spiritual stones for them. You've been here for so many years, so this is our token of appreciation."

The old priest sighed helplessly, "Forget it! Since you are so willing, I will think of a way to let your daughter come over. I need to ask about this matter in detail before making any plans."
