Chapter 91: No Tears Until You See the Coffin

"Look over there, such a beautiful beauty."

"Haha, I've seen all kinds of beauties, but can any of them compare to the sisters of Three Pristine Peak... Oh my god, she's so enchanting and beautiful!"

"Stop joking, that's a man, flat chest and back."

"Nonsense, are you telling me that face belongs to a man?"

"I'm telling you, it's even better if it's a man!"

"I don't believe it, she's just a little sister, just a bit flat."

"Being flat is great, I love this kind of cliff, it's so thrilling to climb barehanded."

"I'm sorry, I can't agree. How can you gather people's attention without big breasts?"

"That's because you're still young. The concept of a career line is a scam by plastic surgery companies. Let me tell you a hard truth in the workplace, big breasts don't guarantee career success, you still have to look at your promotion skills."

"Take a screenshot and post it on the forum, guys, I'm going to be famous."

"Shh, keep your voice down, her reputation is just as dangerous as the sect leader's."

"Under the peony flower, one dies..."

Listening to the discussions around him, Hu San's eyes twitched as he looked at the tents in front of the Ascension Gate. Under the leadership of Sect Leader Lu, the Ascension Gate had become even more chaotic and corrupt than before, every other month.

Where did these idiots come from? What's the meaning of everyone having a pill furnace, and what's with that person refining pills on a tree? And what kind of bird language is that, why can't he understand some of the words?

"Meeting an honored guest outside, please come in quickly. You don't know how much I've been looking forward to seeing you." Lu Bei walked out of the gate with a smile, reaching out to give Hu San an intimate shoulder pat, welcoming him inside.

Hu San's face, as long as it appeared on the forum, would undoubtedly cause a sensation.

He was going to ride this wave of popularity.

As for the players' guesses about Hu San's gender and Lu Bei's orientation, these small issues were not important. It was more important to become popular first.

"Brother, you're unusually enthusiastic today. Last time, you..."

Hu San struggled a bit but couldn't escape the big hand on his shoulder. He was about to make a joke when he saw several tents inside the gate and couldn't help but say, "Where did all these crazy refugees come from? Is Jade Chime District experiencing a famine, or is Nine Bamboo Mountain at war?"

"Neither, the world is at peace."

Lu Bei led Hu San towards the backyard, his smile carrying a deep meaning. He whispered, "They are a group of people seeking knowledge and the Dao. I saw that they had nowhere to go, so I kindly took them in."

Hu San didn't think much of that smile, he was used to Lu Bei's mischievous nature. But in the eyes of the players, there were many hidden meanings to analyze.

Let me introduce you, this is my sweetheart.

My friend, a very close one.

The head of the sect's wife has returned home...

Witnessing the two whispering to each other, the players silently put down their pill furnaces and opened the forum, uploading screenshots and starting to chat.

[Players all over the internet are going crazy after seeing this, I'm shocked!]

[Deeply revealing, the village chief of the beginner village defeats another demon]

[The number one beauty in Jiuzhou, dare to argue if you don't agree]

[I dare not...]

...

...

In the backyard, under the tree in the usual place.

Hu San sat by the stone table, enthusiastically waving at She Xuan, receiving a disdainful look in return.

He successfully invited boredom.

He took the teapot handed to him by Hu Yu and looked at the four identical little fox demons, marveling, "Brother, it's only you who would claim not to keep demonic pets for pleasure. I guarantee I believe it if it were someone else."

"You must be blind, Lu Mou is not interested in women."

"Then I have to be careful and not give you any opportunity. Honestly, tell me where you got these resources from..."

Hu San teased for a couple of sentences, seeing Lu Bei eager and impatient, he put away his joking thoughts and took out the Universe Bag from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. Everything you wanted is inside."

"Why is it a Universe Bag? With so many treasures, I would definitely use a Universe Ring to store them. Remember for next time, don't make the same mistake again."

Lu Bei took the Universe Bag, checked it with joy, and in a good mood, slapped Hu San's shoulder several times in a row, saying, "After shedding so much blood, how is our mother's health? Is she still strong?"

"Don't say 'our', that's my mother, my own."

Hu San pushed away Lu Bei's hand with disdain, and admired as he arched his hand in the direction of the capital, "Also, my mother's glance captivates people, her second glance captivates the city. Her beauty never ages, she is the epitome of beauty. If you keep spewing nonsense, be careful that I turn against you!"

"Forget it, you didn't say that last time."

Lu Bei pouted, "As soon as I mentioned that I had important information, you shouted at the top of your lungs to go back to the capital to bleed the old man, saying that any amount would be enough. I couldn't stop you."

"Slander, pure slander!"

Hu San widened his eyes, angrily stood up and was about to leave, swinging his sleeves.

Three steps later, not waiting for the expected apology and obstruction, he turned back in confusion. Lu Bei had crawled out from under the stone table, carefully lifting the lid of the teapot.

"What are you doing?"

"Uh, I was thinking, maybe our mother is hiding here..."

Lu Bei put down the teapot lid, cautiously looked around, and then said suspiciously, "You are so different from last time... I suspect that she is nearby, otherwise you wouldn't be so obedient."

"Stop dreaming, my mother is busy with countless affairs, she doesn't have time to come to this godforsaken place like Three Pristine Peak." Hu San sat back in his original position, feeling annoyed.

Lu Bei sneered at his words. He hadn't seen any bird droppings before, but it might not be the case in the future.

After an awkward silence, Hu San saw Lu Bei fidgeting and scratching his head, as if he was ready to send him away. Hu San coldly laughed three times and said, "Brother, on my trip back to the capital, I investigated the background of the Iron Sword League. Can you guess what unexpected gains I found?"

"If you say it's unexpected, how can I guess?"

"Hmph, no tears until you see the coffin."

Hu San slammed the table and pointed at Lu Bei with his finger shaped like a sword, scolding, "Towering Heaven Sword Sect's Lu Bei, what a leftover of Qingqian, you dare to pretend with me. If it weren't for me, Hu San... I'm cautious, I would have been deceived by you fishing in troubled waters."

Squeak!

The window was pushed open, and She Xuan looked worriedly towards the position of the stone table.

"What are you looking at? Men handle things, women avoid them, everyone disperse."

With a command, the foxes scattered in fear.

As Lu Bei shouted loudly, the window closed in response, and Hu Meng appeared from the corner of the wall, swiftly leaving with his four sisters.

"Is that it?"

Lu Bei sneered, slamming a token of an iron sword on the table. "I thought it was something important, turns out you found out the identity of my Towering Heaven Sword Sect's third-generation disciple. Lord Qingwei, you should have told me earlier, I would have brought out this token earlier."

"Tsk tsk, it's indeed true!"

Hu San picked up the token, weighed it in his hand, and raised an eyebrow. "Little brother, don't be angry. Big brother is only angry that you said you hid half of it. But I have no doubts about your patriotic heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought everything you wanted."

"Naturally, if I were disloyal to the emperor and the country, and didn't trust my big brother, would I have revealed everything?"

"Hehehe--" x2

The two exchanged a smile. Hu San put on a serious face and waved his hand, scattering soundproof talismans. "Little brother, tell me honestly, where did you get the information about the Iron Sword League?"

Lu Bei responded with a serious face, making up a story out of thin air. "To be honest, I have a friend who has special sources of information."

"No need for friends, there's no one else."

"I have to have someone. In case my big brother accidentally blurts out my name, I can still deny it and buy myself a few more days." Lu Bei shrugged.

"Rest assured, only heaven and earth know about this. You know, and I know, there's no one else..."

"What about our mother?"

"Our mother!"

Hu San emphasized again, then coughed lightly and looked full of admiration. "In my heart, our mother is like a deity."

"Big brother, that's going too far. Even if she really is nearby, you don't have to act like this."

Lu Bei disdainfully glanced at Hu San, then assured him, "As for my plans, big brother can rest assured. I'm simply afraid of death and have no intention of being a double agent. The Iron Sword League won't last long, and I won't willingly walk into a dead end."

"Is that all?" Hu San smiled ambiguously.

"There's a little more."

Lu Bei pursed his lips. "I have a romantic relationship with a senior sister from the Towering Heaven Sword Sect. No matter what happens in the future, my senior sister is definitely innocent."

Hu San stared at Lu Bei, scrutinizing him back and forth. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded. "Just a senior sister, that shouldn't be a big problem. Even if she is a remnant of the Qinggan faction, with big brother's support, we can suppress her cultivation and keep her hidden away. No one will come looking for trouble."

"There's also a senior brother, a well-behaved nephew, and another senior sister from a relative's family..."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Lu Bei decisively struck while the iron was hot. "If possible, please spare my senior brother's family as well, and my nephew's family. They are all loyal to the emperor and the country..."

"Stop!"

Hu San raised his hand to interrupt, shaking his head with a sneer. "According to your words, the entire Towering Heaven Sword Sect is innocent, and the Iron Sword League can be justified. There are no Qinggan rebels for the sake of national peace and security. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's have a drink for the peace of the world!"

"Indeed, who is good and who is evil, who is right and who is wrong, it's not for me to decide." Lu Bei nodded in agreement.

"It's not up to me to decide!"

"Really?"

"The widow is sleeping, there's no one above, and I can't help, brother."

Hu San glanced deeply at Lu Bei, "Little brother, you're a smart person, know when to stop, don't get too deeply involved."

"Don't worry, brother. I understand the reasoning. If I can ensure that my senior sister remains unharmed on the day of the incident, I'll be satisfied." Lu Bei smiled.

Hu San frowned, knowing from experience that Lu Bei would definitely not give up.

But to protect the rebels...

What can someone in the Core Incubation Realm do? Do they really think they can dominate the world like a gigolo?

"By the way, brother, what's the situation in the capital? When will they capture the remnants of the Qingqian?" Lu Bei changed the subject, "Let me know so I can be mentally prepared."

"Well..." Hu San's expression became strange, "It probably won't happen in the near future, it needs to be delayed."

"What do you mean?" Lu Bei poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Hu San, "Brother, explain it in detail. I don't quite understand. Shouldn't we capture the rebels as soon as possible?"

"In theory, yes. The longer we delay, the greater the risk of leaked intelligence. We should strike with thunderous force to deliver a fatal blow." Hu San sighed, "But in reality, firstly, the Iron Sword League is powerful, and we don't know if the Extreme Monarch Sect has any spies among them. Acting rashly will only alert the enemy. Secondly, the collapse of the spiritual veins actually has its benefits. The lure of interests is irresistible, and we can't act quickly."

"Benefits?!" Lu Bei was surprised, "The collapse of the spiritual veins is a disaster. After a long time, the tragedy is almost irreversible. What benefits can there be?"

"Because of the collapse of the spiritual veins, many hidden relics and even secret realms have emerged. Obtaining a secret realm can elevate the strength of a second-rate Immortal Gate to that of a first-rate. It's a rare opportunity. Who would be willing to give it up?" Hu San said helplessly.

"Oh..." Lu Bei couldn't argue with the logic and evidence.

The activation of the Dragon Trap Formation only takes a moment, but the silence of the collapsed spiritual veins will last for ten years. In such a long time, many people can sit back and watch without feeling guilty, waiting for the opportunity to make a big profit, and only come forward as the savior at the last moment.

After hearing Hu San's words, Lu Bei began to suspect whether the Extreme Monarch Sect had already discovered the Dragon Trap Formation a long time ago, but kept it a secret due to the lure of interests.

In fact, looking ahead, the players who are active in Wu Zhou are having a great time. The beginning of the game is a peak period of salvaging and exploring.

Lu Bei was also delighted. Everything was back on track, and he felt a sense of intellectual superiority in strategizing. At least during the 180-day public beta period, he could relax and enjoy the benefits.

"Don't be too happy too soon, little brother. Delaying for a while is fine, but it can't be delayed forever. Once it involves the emergence of secret realms, some people won't be able to sit still." Hu San smirked, "Like the Imperial Tutor, she is the successor of the Cloud Pavilion. If the Flowing Su Mountain's elusive secret realm emerges because of the Dragon Trap Formation, the Towering Heaven Sword Sect will probably be wiped out overnight by her."

Lu Bei: "..."

Damn, I almost forgot about this rich woman.
