Pointing his toes to the ground, Xu Chenglin lightly jumped into the air. His figure flashed a few times, and then he arrived on the boat. With a slight smile, Xu Chenglin seemed to have given up on taking off, and fell straight down. The sound of the howling wind could be heard in his ears.

As the boat passed by, Xu Chenglin fell faster and faster. It seemed that in the next moment, he could overturn the entire boat.

However, the drama of overturning the boat did not appear. Xu Chenglin landed smoothly on the boat. When his body was less than a foot away from the boat, Xu Chenglin's figure was like a feather. He landed lightly.

On the boat, Xu Chenglin's arrival did not cause the boat to rock unnecessarily.

It seemed that he had only noticed Xu Chenglin's arrival until now. Old Li was slightly startled, and then he looked back at Xu Chenglin.

"Is this old man Li Old Man?"

Xu Chenglin got straight to the point and directly asked about the old man's identity.

The old man looked at Xu Chenglin, then picked up the wine gourd at his waist and took a sip. He frowned slightly, with a look of doubt on his face.

"What's wrong with this fellow Taoist?"

Seeing Old Man Li's confused look, Xu Chenglin spoke slowly.

"My Excellency, Xu Chenglin, is here to seek help from the elderly."

As soon as Xu Chenglin said this, Old Li immediately understood his purpose.

"I see, this Taoist friend also came here for the golden carp."

"Exactly!"

Xu Chenglin didn't hide anything and admitted it directly. Ever since he met Old Man Li, he had no intention of hiding his purpose. Sometimes it's best to be honest when talking about things. Since you let others help, you should let the other person tell you the conditions first.

.As for how the two parties agree, it depends on the status of their negotiations.

Looking Xu Chenglin up and down carefully, Old Man Li suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha! This fellow Taoist is sincere and much more cheerful than other guys!"

Xu Chenglin smiled softly and spoke frankly.

"There is nothing to hide in this. After all, we are asking for help. How can we ask people to help without giving conditions? How can we ask the horse to run and not eat grass?"

"Not bad, very thorough."

Old Man Li smiled and took back the fishing rod. He stretched and stood up slowly.

"Fellow Taoist, you might as well go ashore and talk."

As he spoke, Old Man Li made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Chenglin nodded and disappeared in a flash. When Old Man Li found him, Xu Chenglin was already standing on the shore and looking at him with a smile.

"The method is pretty good, and the words are refreshing!"

With this in mind, Old Man Li reached out and patted the boat. The boat under his feet seemed to hear the command and rushed towards Xu Chenglin. In just a few breaths, the boat arrived at the shore. Old Man Li smiled.

He smiled and stepped onto the shore. Then he turned to the boat and looked for his hand. The tenderloin of the boat turned into a palm-sized shape and flew into his hand.

Pedestrians on the shore were also curious about the various extraordinary methods the two people used on the shore. Obviously, these people had already seen similar methods. Because of Old Man Li, everyone also

It’s something you know well.

"Haha! After talking for a long time, you still don't know where your fellow Taoist is?"

As if just remembering this matter, Old Man Li smiled sheepishly.

"Old fox!"

Cursing secretly in his heart, Xu Chenglin smiled and spoke.

"Xu Chenglin of Jiuhua Academy is returning from a visit to a friend. I passed by here and heard about the golden carp, so I came here to ask for help."

The most difficult lie to expose is that 90% of it is true and 10% of it is false. Xu Chenglin's reply was exactly like this. His birth and name were both true. What he learned about the golden carp in passing was also true. Only the purpose of getting the golden carp was false.

That's all. Therefore, when Xu Chenglin said these words, he didn't feel any weird at all.

Old Li had been carefully observing Xu Chenglin, and when he saw that his words were neither humble nor overbearing, he immediately believed him. When he heard that Xu Chenglin had told a lot of information that he had not asked, Old Li believed him nine.

Hearing Xu Chenglin's birth history, Old Man Li was a little surprised. After all, not just anyone can join the seven major forces. Being able to cross from Beicang Continent to Nandou Star Continent to visit friends, this person is even more extraordinary.

Old Li pretended to be surprised and hurriedly clasped his fists at Xu Chenglin.

"You really have a blind eye but don't recognize gold and jade. I didn't expect that Taoist friend actually came out of Jiuhua Academy!"

Seeing this, Xu Chenglin shook his head, smiled, and bowed back to the other party.

Xu Chenglin didn't waste the gift in return. After some thought, he also found out the details of the other party.

"I wonder what sect the old man belongs to?"

Old Man Li didn't hesitate and spoke directly with a smile.

"Compared to Taoist friend Xu, I am just a casual cultivator passed down from my family. The cultivation has been passed down to my generation, and I am the only one left. I practice cultivation on weekdays, and I can go fishing here by the way."

Xu Chenglin nodded slightly and said he understood.

Seeing Xu Chenglin's behavior, Li Laosou knew that it was almost time. So he stopped talking and directly discussed the terms.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is an honest man, and I'm not trying to hide it. You just said that it's not possible to have a horse run and not eat. So now I want to know what conditions Daoist Xu can give. As for what

I won't repay you later, or come to you to take action once. Although I am in the Qi Condensation stage, I probably won't cross the continent to find you for help."

Hearing Old Man Li's words, Xu Chenglin shook his head and laughed. After laughing for a while, Xu Chenglin slowly spoke.

"I don't like to take advantage of others. Gold Carp, please estimate for yourself and see what you can ask for from me. Say it in advance. I'm not a big deal. Asking for too much conditions will only scare me away. I

Not a fool either."

Hearing Xu Chenglin's reply, Old Man Li burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Not too much, not too much. The conditions I want are not too much. You are not stupid, and I am not stupid either."

Xu Chenglin also smiled softly. He looked into the distance and said to Old Man Li.

"This is not the place to talk. How about we find a place to talk in detail?"

Sensing some changes in God Xu Chenglin, Li

The old man felt slightly strange. But then he saw Xu Chenglin's expression recovered, so he didn't think much about it.

"Of course it's okay, fellow Taoist, just come with me!"

With a slight nod, Old Man Li started to lead the way. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw a person smiling and waving to him in the distance. At this moment, Old Man Li finally understood why God Xu Chenglin had changed.

In fact, he knew the person who waved to Old Man Li. But when he saw this person, Old Man Li's demeanor also changed. Instead of the friendly smile that he had when talking to Xu Chenglin, his face suddenly became clouded.

As if he didn't see the change in Old Man Li's expression, an old man in purple walked slowly from a distance. As he walked, he smiled softly and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Li, a few days have passed. I wonder how you are thinking about it?"

Old Man Li narrowed his eyes and replied directly without hesitation.

"No need to think about it! I still mean what I said before, I don't agree to cooperate with you!"

"Don't think about it again?"

Seemingly unwilling to give up, the old man in purple smiled and continued to speak. However, his smile did not seem friendly, but more like a threat.

"Don't think about it! I don't agree to cooperate with you!"

Old Man Li did not hesitate and waved his hand to refuse.

Hearing this, the old man in purple narrowed his eyes and laughed pitifully.

"Humph! Shameless! Then the golden carp will not come to your Yueming Island this year. If you have the guts, come to the central area and fight with us!"

"you!"

Hearing the words of the old man in purple clothes, Old Man Li's eyes were split. He pointed at the old man in purple clothes angrily, and for a moment he was so angry that he could not speak.

Seeing Old Man Li's angry look, the old man in purple couldn't help but smile proudly. Smiling, he seemed to have just discovered Xu Chenglin, and he pretended to be curious and asked.

"This fellow Taoist is here for the golden carp, too. If so, I advise you not to cooperate with Old Man Li."

Xu Chenglin looked confused now. He was caught eating a melon by himself.

With a solemn expression, Xu Chenglin frowned slightly and looked at the other party.

"This old man, I don't know what he means?"

"Hahaha! Fellow Taoist, don't pretend to be confused because you understand. In the past, although Old Man Li fished away the golden carp, that was when I was not around. Now I have united with other Tianxing Island and Huandao,

This year's golden carp will definitely fall into my hands. If you don't cooperate with me, this golden carp will have no chance with fellow Taoists. Hahaha..."

At the end of the sentence, he seemed to have thought of something, and the old man in purple laughed again.

Looking up at the old man in purple, Xu Chenglin found that this man was also a monk in the early stage of Qi Condensation. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Old Man Li.

"Fellow Daoist Li, who is this guy?"

After receiving Xu Chenglin's spiritual message, Old Man Li paused and released his spiritual message in response.

"This person is a monk from Tianxing Island, named Tian Yuzi. This guy is actually a foreign monk who came here a few years ago. There is no way of knowing where he came from. I only know that this guy is decisive and ruthless in his actions. This guy has this

Very good fishing skills, recently

He has been planning the golden carp for several years. This year he went too far and even united with other islands to plot the golden carp."
