"Minister, if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it for at least three years."
"Yes, the demands over there are getting more and more excessive. If you continue to satisfy them like this, I'm afraid the other party's appetite will become bigger and bigger."
In a secret base somewhere, Cao Xuan listened to the report of his subordinates, frowning, and kept walking back and forth in the room.
As time passed, Cao Xuan was no longer middle-aged. Not only did he have a lot of gray hair on his head, but the wrinkles on his face also deepened.
Normally speaking with Cao Xuan's identity and status, he would not age so quickly. There is only one possibility, and that is that he has encountered too many troublesome things.
"But what can you do?"
Facing Cao Xuan's inquiry, all the subordinates lowered their heads, because they had no way to solve the predicament in front of them, and it was almost a dead end.
"Minister, it's not good."
At this moment, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man hurriedly ran in and reported to Cao Xuanhui: "Minister, Tianma Pavilion has made another request, saying that two Young Masters Qin should go to their founding ceremony.
During the grand ceremony, two young masters of Qin were designated to go to their mountain gate to welcome guests."
"What!"
Cao Xuan looked furious, and everyone else in the room also had expressions of indignation on their faces.
"Minister, this Tianma Pavilion is really bullying people."
"Tianma Pavilion wants to humiliate Young Master Qin and the others, but also wants to humiliate the entire metaphysical world."
Listening to the indignant words of his subordinates, Cao Xuan also sighed. How could he not know the intention of Ma Ge's move that day? But, what could he do to the other party?
"Where are Mr. Qin and the others now?" Cao Xuan asked.
"Young Master Qin and the others are currently living in seclusion in the peach garden. Minister, you are not..."
"Guoshi Qin is my number one hero in the metaphysics world. Naturally, I will not be sorry to Guoshi Qin. I will tell Young Master Qin and others about the Tianma Pavilion, and let Young Master Qin and others make the final decision."
Cao Xuan sighed. In just a few years, the whole world has undergone such a big change. The reason why the secular world has not changed yet is because those forces are not interested in the secular world. Secondly, it is also because they have not been interested in the secular world in these years.
The result of enduring hardship.
Taoyuan.
There is a hilltop in a small county town. Because the hill is covered with peach trees, it is called Taoyuan by the people nearby. In the past, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom in the spring, many people nearby would come here to enjoy the flowers.
However, in recent years, no outsiders have come to this Taoyuan. It's not that the people in the county don't want to come, but because this Taoyuan was bought by a private person a few years ago and became a private garden.
"First Young Master, Second Young Master, this is the situation."
In the Taoyuan, Cao Xuan looked at Qin Man and Qin Feng in front of him, with a look of determination on his face, and continued: "Master Qin has done great favors to the country and the world of metaphysics, and I, Cao Xuan, am not an ungrateful person.
Young Master, you don’t have to pay attention to Ma Ge’s request that day. If the other party really goes too far, we will both perish together."
"We will die together. What can we do to die with them?"
Qin Feng shook his head, "Uncle Ninth was injured three years ago and he has not recovered yet."
"But..." Cao Xuan wanted to speak but was interrupted by Qin Man.
"Don't Tianma Pavilion just want us two brothers to stand at their mountain gate to welcome their guests? Then we can just go and be their doormen. Anyway, wherever we are not standing, just treat it as seeing the world."
"Yes, I heard that the person from Tianma Pavilion also invited a big shot from another world this time, just so we can have a look."
The two brothers Qin Man and Qin Feng looked casual, but Cao Xuan knew that things were definitely not that simple. Letting these two people pass by Tianma Pavilion would probably not only be as simple as standing at the mountain gate, but they would definitely do everything possible to do so.
A way to humiliate the two young masters Qin.
Because Tianma Pavilion wants to bring down Qin Guoshi's mythical status in the hearts of people in the metaphysical world.
"Did Tianma Pavilion say when the opening ceremony of the mountain will be held?" Qin Feng asked.
"Three days later."
"Okay, we two brothers will set off tomorrow, but don't tell my mother and others about this matter, so as not to worry them. Even my sister-in-law and uncle, don't tell them."
"But Tianma Pavilion has invited many big figures in the metaphysical world this time, and your uncle is also among those invited. He will definitely know about it by then."
"The ship will be sunk by then. I guess my uncle is not an impulsive person."
Cao Xuan didn't speak anymore, but then he clenched his hands tightly, and his nails were already embedded in his flesh, but he seemed to feel no pain at all.
Because compared to the physical pain, the mental humiliation was more unbearable for him.
"Let's not talk about Tianma Pavilion. Let's talk about how the situation is over there." Qin Feng changed the topic and asked with a serious look on his face.
"I'm afraid it can't be stopped. The two young masters must have seen the changes in the world in the past few years. According to our predictions, we can last for three years at most." Cao Xuan replied with an ugly face.
Compared with forces like Tianma Pavilion, although they are not good things, at least they will not threaten the world, because those big figures are also local.
But that's not the case over there. Once the seal is broken by that person, the whole world will probably suffer. The changes in the heaven and earth and the movement of the earth's plates over the years are actually caused by that person.
"The person in the Immortal City must not be released, otherwise the whole world will be destroyed." Qin Man frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "I don't think those in Tianma Pavilion and Julong Palace will see the Immortal City.
The one who steps out, because once that person steps out, I believe the first ones to suffer will be those from these forces."
"So, we can find an opportunity to negotiate with these forces and let them help deal with the person in the fairy city. If so, we may be able to seal him for a long time."
After hearing Qin Man's idea, Cao Xuan's eyes lit up. Yes, why didn't he think of this? You know, the person behind Tianma Pavilion and those from other forces all entered the fairy city at the same time as Qin Guoshi.
They definitely don't want the person in the fairy city to come out.
Thinking of this, Cao Xuan sighed again, "Hey, it would be great if Master Qin were here. At least he won't be bullied by those people now."
After hearing what Cao Xuan said, the two brothers Qin Man and Qin Feng looked at each other, and finally said firmly: "I believe our father will come back, and what we have to do now is to protect this place before our father comes back.
