Chapter 49 The so-called brothers have their own schemes
Cao Long was surrounded by several fellow disciples. He listened to the flattery of these people, and his face looked very much appreciated.
You must know that some of these people are more powerful than him.
But so what, why don’t we still gather around him and follow his lead!
And the main reason why these people gathered around him so respectfully was because of that big Luo Ling!
He entered the sect with the Great Luo Ling at the beginning, so he did not need to fight to the death with others during the sect competition. After he shed his mortal body and cultivated the Dharmakaya, he could enter directly regardless of his strength.
Inner door!
Precisely because he is the kind of disciple who is destined to enter the inner sect, Cao Long is more popular among familiar fellow sects than many powerful outer sect disciples!
These people gathered around Cao Long to flatter him, and all they wanted was that Cao Long could help them when he entered the inner sect in the future!
However, although everyone praises him, when it comes to actual benefits, it is impossible to give him for nothing.
Therefore, Cao Long will also accept some tasks issued by the sect to obtain training resources.
For example, today, opening the gate to welcome newcomers is a task that involves no danger at all and is almost a free benefit.
After finishing the work, he walked towards his place of residence with the praise of several fellow disciples.
But just when he was flattered, he suddenly saw a familiar face!
He didn't recognize it at first.
After all, he had been away from the family for several years, and the last time he met Cao Xiu was when their mother and son were kicked out of the family.
At that time, Cao Xiu was only in his teens, and he was very different from the handsome young man he is today.
But after all, he was his cousin whom he had known for so many years, and Cao Xiu's face was somewhat similar to his father's, so after Cao Long was stunned for a moment, he immediately recognized that the person in front of him was Cao Xiu.
"It's you?"
Cao Long's face was full of disbelief: "You, you, you... why are you here?"
He was so nervous that he even stuttered when he spoke!
No wonder he was like this, it was so unexpected.
Everything he has now was obtained because of that big Luo Ling. If Cao Xiu reported it to the sect, he could not imagine the consequences of this matter!
Will he be expelled from the sect by then?
Just when anxiety arose in his heart, Cao Xiu smiled: "Why am I here? Of course I passed the examination and the sect arranged me here."
The corner of Cao Long's mouth twitched: "You also participated in today's assessment?"
"good!"
Cao Xiu nodded: "I will practice on this Lingxiu Peak from now on. Please take care of me in the future, cousin!"
"sure!"
Seeing what he said, Cao Long hurriedly borrowed the donkey down the slope and said, "Brothers, why are you so outspoken? If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."
By the way, cousin, why did you suddenly join the sect?
Didn't my father write a letter half a year ago saying that you and your family have reconciled and plan to live a good life in Jiangzhou?"
"Daluo Sect is a top-notch immortal sect, how can I not be yearning for it!"
Cao Xiu laughed: "Originally, I didn't have much confidence in being able to join the Daluo Sect, but it just so happened that with the support of my family, I was able to break through the shackles of acquired nature and become a monk.
Speaking of which, the reason why I was able to successfully join the sect, I should be most grateful to my eldest uncle and second uncle. If it weren’t for their generous donation, I would have really missed out on the chance to join Daluo Sect if I missed this opportunity!"
"..."
After hearing his meaningful words, Cao Long was so angry that he trembled a little.
Unexpectedly, the resources compensated by the family helped this boy enter the sect!
If I had known this, I shouldn't have given it in the first place.
No, this should have been eradicated years ago.
Otherwise, why would it cause him trouble now?
It's a pity that the Yishui Wang family is not easy to mess with, and at that time, they also had to worry about the opinions of other clan members, so they did not take action against their orphans and widowers.
Now I'm afraid it's too late to take action!
Various thoughts were racing through Cao Long's mind, but he could be considered a man of the city. His face showed no expression at all. Instead, he chatted with Cao Xiu for a while with a friendly smile on his face, and then said goodbye reluctantly.
However, when he turned around, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy!
Cao Xiu watched with a smile as Cao Long led the people away. It wasn't until the other party walked away that the smile on his face gradually faded away.
"It seems to me that you are not getting along with your cousin?"
Shen Xu waved the folding fan in his hand coquettishly: "Why, have there been conflicts between you?"
"nothing?"
Cao Xiu shook his head and said calmly: "It's just that the big Luo Ling he held when he joined the sect was rewarded by my father after he died fighting for the sect!"
"Is this happening?"
Shen Xu couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
After all, he was born in a wealthy family, and he had seen many similar infightings within the family. Although he usually didn't bother to pay attention to these, he could hear the reason for the matter from Cao Xiu's words.
In addition, he and Cao Xiu formed a friendship during the entrance examination, so he directly thought about things from Cao Xiu's point of view.
At that moment, he defended Cao Xiu and said, "This guy is very courageous, even Da Luo Ling dares to rob him. I really don't know how to write the word "death"!
Otherwise, report this matter to the sect?"
"No need!"
Cao Xiu shook his head: "The only purpose of Daluo Ling is to allow him to join the inner sect directly without having to participate in the outer sect's assessment.
Others flock to Da Luo Ling, but for me it is dispensable!
Even without Da Luo Ling, I can still enter the inner gate with my own strength!"
"good!"
Shen Xu folded his fan and slapped his palms fiercely: "Senior Brother Cao is indeed very arrogant. What does a mere outer sect competition mean? Is this enough to stop our brothers?
Hahaha, in the future we will defeat all the masters of the outer sect and suppress all dissent. Of course, we will be hundreds of times stronger than those who resort to tricks with great tricks!
But, do you really plan to let him go?"
“Where can anything be so cheap!”
Cao Xiu sneered: "If they only snatched a big Luo Ling and paid it back, for the sake of the same clan, I can't forgive them!
But he took away all my father's belongings, poured dirty water on our mother and son, and kicked us out of the family!
I would be uneasy if I just let these things go!"
"What are you going to do?"
Shen Xu became interested: "Why don't you publicize his attempt to seize your Da Luo Ling first and ruin his reputation?
Don’t worry, I don’t need you to come forward, I have some friends who can do it for me, and I guarantee that this matter will be spread throughout the entire outer sect within three to five days!”
"That's a good idea!"
Cao Xiu smiled when he heard this, but he still shook his head: "It's not time to break up with them yet, my mother and brother are still in Jiangzhou after all.
I will wait until I have established a foothold in the sect in a while and find a way to bring my mother and the others to Qingyun City, and then I will implement it when I no longer have any worries!"
