Seeing the two of them exchanging items, Zhuge Yun's eyes darkened.
His eyes fell on the jade slip, "What is this?"
"It records a cave. After finishing the business, I plan to go there with Senior Sister Xu to try our luck."
Kong Huan clenched his fists with a look of longing on his face. His poverty was the same as his master's, so he pointed to a place like this to make money.
"You have such a good thing, why don't you bring your senior brother with you?"
Zhuge Yun glanced at him with a half-smile.
Kong Huan was a little confused by this look. Although the jade slips his master threw to him were not very good, they were not too bad either.
In order to repay Junior Sister Xu, he just told her about the matter. With Senior Brother Zhuge's financial resources, he shouldn't be able to compete with him for this bit of soup?
Thinking of this, he felt relieved and said with great calmness, "With my senior brother's cultivation, I don't think he can even look down on such a thing."
Zhuge Yun turned his head to look at him and asked a seemingly irrelevant topic.
"Junior Brother Kong, do you know how many spiritual stones are needed to take the shuttle for this trip?"
Kong Huan said without thinking, "A small shuttle costs one hundred spirit stones for one day. If you ride it for six days, it will cost six thousand spirit stones."
When he said this, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Brother Zhuge, who is also a sword cultivator, is so rich that he spent six thousand spirit stones just to travel.
Why is he so poor!
Zhuge Yun nodded with a smile, "Yes, in that case, junior brother, please pay for the shuttle ride. The three of us will share it equally, and junior brother only needs to pay two thousand spirit stones."
Kong Huan was stunned, and a dry smile appeared on his round face, "Senior brother, are you kidding me, haha."
It's not that he can't get two thousand spirit stones, but... spirit stones are not such a good idea!
"Brother, we have to settle the accounts clearly."
There was a hint of joy in Zhuge Yun's words, and he blinked at him in a good mood, "Or maybe you can give me a rubbing of your jade slip to offset the fee."
Kong Huan felt aggrieved and even wanted to jump off the shuttle.
But Brother Zhuge actually said that he had already taken the shuttle and had to pay for it. Even if he didn't take the shuttle, he still had to pay.
It was impossible to dig out the spirit stone, so he could only remain silent, make a rubbing of the jade slip and throw it to his senior brother.
After getting what he wanted, Zhuge Yun smiled more on his face, which was in sharp contrast to the dejected Kong Huan.
Xu Chunniang was speechless and secretly sent a message to comfort Kong Huan.
"Senior brother, how could he see this? He probably wanted to go with us because he was afraid that the two of us would be in danger, but he didn't tell us directly for the sake of face."
Kong Huan's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, it must be like this.
How can senior brother be so stingy when he can afford a shuttle worth 600,000 yuan? It's because he is narrow-minded.
Kong Huan raised his head and looked at Zhuge Yun sincerely, his round face full of trust.
"Brother, I understand. You care about our safety, right?"
"No, I just care about the spiritual stone."
Zhuge Yun put away his smile and looked at him lightly, "If you are afraid, then there is no need to go."
"I'm not afraid."
Kong Huan blushed and clenched his fists. This was obviously something he had taken out, so why not let him go.
"Remember what you said and don't hold back when the time comes."
After saying this, Zhuge Yun closed his eyes and said no more.
Kong Huan, on the other hand, was so angry that he didn't dare to show up.
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but was speechless. Senior Brother Zhuge seemed quite dissatisfied with Junior Brother Kong Huan. Maybe it was because they were both sword cultivators of Xuan Jianfeng and their auras were incompatible?
She couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think much about it. She took out a Jade Slip of Formation Dao and began to read it seriously.
At dusk on the sixth day, the shuttle landed steadily next to a towering mountain.
The mountains and rocks here are lined with clouds and mist, and cranes are dancing gracefully. There are Qionglou and Yuyuyu, which are faintly visible through the layers of bamboo forest.
If ordinary people accidentally break into this place, they will mistakenly think that they have entered the treasure land of the fairy family.
Kong Huan jumped off the shuttle and took a deep breath of spiritual energy, "This Tianji Pavilion really knows how to choose a place! This is just a branch pavilion."
Zhuge Yun didn't squint his eyes, "Let's go quickly, don't keep the two elders waiting."
There is a no-fly formation in the mountain, and the three of them can only walk up it by foot.
Before he even got close to the pavilion, he heard a powerful sound that startled the birds in the forest.
"It doesn't count, this move doesn't count! My hand obviously slipped, try again!"
Kong Huan's face was awkward, and he had the urge to turn around and leave.
He made up his mind not to reveal his identity as a disciple of Mo Wuwu for a while to avoid embarrassment.
Mo Wuwu's loud voice was still coming continuously.
"Wait a minute, let's do this again! I just made a mistake. Oh, I'm not regretting the move, I just made a mistake."
Kong Huan's face was stunned. Master, this stinky chess player, shouldn't you know how to restrain yourself? His face has been humiliated in Qianji Pavilion.
As the three of them stepped onto the last step, they saw a strong gust of wind blowing from the ground, causing the flags to crackle, and many of them rolled to the ground.
Mo Wuwu crossed his legs with a proud look on his face.
"It's a pity. I was almost winning. Why did everything go smoothly? Tsk tsk."
Xu Chunniang glanced at Mo Wuyuan's hand hidden under the table. If she hadn't been extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, she would have almost been deceived by his performance.
Sitting opposite Mo Wuyuan was a female cultivator covered in white gauze, with only a pair of smart eyes exposed.
The female nun has not yet spoken, but the waiter-looking monk behind her has eyes wide open and indignant.
"Senior Mo, what you said is interesting. You obviously thought you were about to lose, so you created a gust of wind and blew the chess pieces away!"
Mo Wuyuan smiled frivolously, "Do you have any evidence?"
"you!"
The monk was dumbfounded, as if he didn't expect Mo Wuyuan to be so thick-skinned.
"Hey, since there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense. Your master didn't even say anything."
Mo Wuyuan looked proud on the surface, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
This game of chess is not played in vain. The loser must do something for the winner.
Fortunately, he was smart and destroyed the chessboard immediately when he saw that he was about to lose, otherwise he would not have known how he would be driven.
The female cultivator with her face covered in white gauze chuckled softly, like gold and jade clashing together, it was pleasant to the ear.
"Fellow Daoist Mo is still so interesting. Since the storm just started for no reason, let's just play another game."
Even though Mo Wuyuan was thick-skinned, he could not help but feel guilty after hearing this.
He waved his hand carelessly, "My incompetent boy, there are two nephews here, let's do it next time."
As he said that, he turned back and glared at Kong Huan, "Why are you still stunned? Come here quickly."
Kong Huan was extremely reluctant and hid behind Xu Chunniang, moving forward little by little.
"Since I'm your apprentice, I can't not express my gratitude when we meet for the first time."
The female cultivator took out a jade box from her storage bag and looked at Kong Huan with a smile, "It's a small thing, don't dislike it."
Kong Huan's eyes lit up, and he instantly forgot about his master's embarrassing incident, and strode forward to take the jade box.
