Chapter Thirteen: The Lion Opens His Mouth, Asking for Compensation
Cao Boping was a little embarrassed at first.
But as the words unfolded, this trace of embarrassment was quickly forgotten by him, and he seemed to make more and more sense: "If it weren't for the support of the family back then, your father would not have been able to practice so fast, let alone
He was favored by Elder Guo and accepted as his disciple.
As a member of the Cao clan, I think your father will definitely be willing to do his part to make the family strong!
In the future, when my son Cao Long has established a firm foothold in the Daluo Sect and has a certain status, he will be able to support the family. By then, my Cao family will be able to flourish and prosper just around the corner!"
"So, is this the reason why you betrayed the treasure my father left behind?"
On the other side, Cao Xiu asked coldly.
Then he said somewhat playfully: "But, why don't I know how much resources the family will support the children of the collateral lineage?
If I remember correctly, I heard my father and mother mention before that he did not receive preferential treatment from his family when he was young. It was not until he got an opportunity that his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he joined the Daluo Sect.
Although my family did give my father some resources after learning about the situation, hoping to help him go further in the sect, it seemed that they were not much compared to what my father gave back to the family.
You guys are really good. When my father was alive, the family opened up a lot of money in his name, and even after my father died, he didn't miss any benefit!"
"You kid, how can you talk?"
Cao Zhongan glared at the side: "Didn't you hear what your uncle just said? This is a decision made for the development of the family!"
"hehe!"
Cao Xiu sneered: "Driving our mother and son out of the family is also for the development of the family?"
"this……"
Cao Zhongan rolled his eyes and argued: "We didn't drive you away at the beginning. Didn't you want to leave the family yourself?"
"Yes, you two didn't say you wanted to drive us away, but I really don't believe you didn't instigate those who forced us to leave!"
Cao Xiu had a bit of disdain on his face: "Even if those people were really bold enough to make their own decisions, I didn't see you come out and say a fair word afterwards!
You can just keep the magical treasures and sect rewards that my father left behind after his death. In order to avoid the revelation of the matter, you have to force us away. Master Cao, you are not doing this in an honest way!
Now that things have happened, you have remembered us. How come we didn’t see any benefit from you when our orphans and widowed mothers were suffering?"
"I know that you, mother and son, have suffered over the years, and I apologize to you on behalf of those tribesmen who have bullied you!"
Cao Boping raised his hand solemnly, and the sincere look on his face was really touching.
It's a pity that both Cao Xiu and his mother, Wang, have seen his true face a long time ago, so they are all indifferent!
"Xiu'er, Chong'er, come back with me, otherwise, it's really hard to explain to Elder Guo."
Cao Xiu laughed mockingly: "Whether you explain it or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me!
You two, it’s getting late, and my family is not well-off, so I won’t let you eat, please go back!”
"You bastard, how can you talk to your elders?"
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Cao Zhongan suddenly put on a dark face, slammed the table hard, and shouted angrily: "You are so young and have no respect for your elders. As the leader of the clan, my eldest brother is trying to persuade you with good words and good words. If you don't listen, you will be punished if you insist on toasting me."
Can’t drink enough wine?”
He was quite powerful, and his anger suddenly gave rise to a fierce pressure, which even made Wang feel a little afraid in his heart.
It's not that she's worried about herself, but she's worried that they will be detrimental to her child. She, a small Condensing Yuan Realm monk, can't stop these two people!
However, Cao Xiu next to him was not afraid, but looked at him with interest: "Oh? I don't know how to eat this fine wine, why don't you tell me how to eat it?"
Are you going to take us back to Cao’s house by force, or are you going to kill us and silence us, so that we die without any evidence?"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Cao Zhongan immediately stopped.
Although he was furious in his heart, he really didn't dare to mess around.
It will definitely not work to take the two brothers Cao Xiu back by force, otherwise they will be so angry that even if they meet Elder Guo, they will definitely not say a good word to them!
As for killing them at this time...
To be honest, Cao Boping and the others have not thought about it, but they dare not do it!
Because the elders of Daluo Sect were far beyond their imagination in terms of cultivation and strength, if they did such a thing, they would not be able to hide it from them at all.
No matter how flawlessly it is done, it is useless, because there are many magical powers in the spiritual world that can find out the truth.
If Elder Guo was proficient in the art of deduction, he wouldn't even need to look it up. Just a few clues would allow him to deduce everything!
"What...what do you want?"
Cao Boping felt strong uneasiness in his heart. Seeing that Cao Xiu was unable to make any progress, he had no choice but to ask directly.
"It's not what I want, but what you plan to do!"
Cao Xiu smiled faintly: "Don't fool people with those unwarranted benefits. Not to mention that the things are not worth mentioning the treasures left by my father. Even if they are really valuable, it is still unclear how much our brothers can get in the future.
Two words!
Therefore, it is not impossible to ask me to say a few nice words for you in front of Elder Guo, but it depends on your sincerity!"
"what do you want?"
By now, Cao Boping also knew that it would be impossible if he didn't really bring out some benefits.
Although he is reluctant to give up, as long as Cao Xiu is willing to speak and let the family pass this hurdle!
"Easy to say."
Cao Xiu said lightly: "Just return the magic weapon and sect reward left by my father to us!"
"This is impossible!"
Cao Boping stood up suddenly: "The magic weapon must remain in the family as a family treasure. If the clan encounters a catastrophe in the future, we must rely on the power of that magic weapon to survive the disaster!
As for the Great Luo Ling, Cao Long had long ago taken it to the Great Luo Sect and handed it over to the sect. There is no way to get it back!"
"In that case, there's nothing more to say!"
Cao Xiu stretched out his hand and signaled: "You two, please come back!"
"you……"
Cao Boping took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "On other terms, as long as the family can come up with something, everything will be easy to negotiate!"
"That's okay, I won't embarrass you!"
Cao Xiu nodded: "Since the Great Luo Ling has been used, let's exchange it for equivalent resources, but the magic weapon left by my father must be returned!"
"Your cultivation is not as good as the day after tomorrow, and you can't even use magic weapons. What's the use of magic weapons?"
Cao Boping seemed to be thinking about Cao Xiu: "The treasure of the magic weapon is far beyond your imagination. If someone knows that you, a little guy in the acquired realm, holds the magic weapon, it will definitely attract others to covet you, and you may not even be able to save your life!"
"You don't need to worry about this!"
Cao Xiu said calmly: "If I really can't protect it, I will give it to Elder Guo. For the sake of my father being his disciple, I can get some benefits in exchange for it!"
"That's a magic weapon. Are you willing to give it to others?"
"It is much better than falling into the hands of some people, not only do we not get any benefits, but we also have to be driven away from our homes!"
Hearing this, Cao Boping knew that Cao Xiu was determined to get the magic weapon back.
Judging from Cao Xiu's appearance, even if he threw it away, he wouldn't give it to the Cao family again!
So he gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely: "Okay, I can give you the magic weapon, and the family will also give you a thousand spiritual stones as compensation, okay?"
"A thousand spiritual stones? Where are you sending to beg for food?"
Cao Xiu smiled disdainfully: "That's a token that allows someone to become an inner disciple of Da Luo Sect. Is it only worth this little money?"
Cao Boping also knew that there was no way to fool him, so he asked: "How much do you want?"
"Not much, give me this number!"
Cao Xiu stretched out a hand and shook it.
"Five thousand?"
"fifty thousand!"
puff……
Cao Boping almost spit out blood!
What a joke, even if you sell the entire Cao family, you won’t be able to get 50,000 spiritual stones!
