The Immortal Ruins - Chapter 94 The Secret Of The Sect
“This rice really tastes good.” Yin Manshu took a napkin, wiped her mouth elegantly and looked at Jiang Shaoliu with a smile: “That’s why the Wan Yao Restaurant is so popular, Mr. Li really has excellent cooking skills and he knows how to select the best ingredients, I’m very satisfied.”
Jiang Shaoliu looked at her, squinted and spoke in a low voice: “So, what’s the cooperation contract? We can talk about it now.”
“All right.” Yin Manshu glanced at him and became serious: “Now you, the monkey king, and the white tiger have scared away the monsters in the 6 dangerous areas, so it has become harder and harder to find them since they stay so hidden, my people’s efforts have reduced by about 80%.”
Jiang Shaoliu was smiling.
And she was right, during the past 2 months, the monkey king and Xiao Bai had taken the special action team to haunt the monsters in the dangerous areas and more than 20 giant cold storage rooms had been filled with monsters while the storage s.p.a.ce kept expanding. The other three powers couldn’t catch up with the Yungang League when hunting for monsters.
When Chi Xiao was the leader, he would sell the rest of the monsters to the other powers, but now the restaurant was so popular that it would expand with more chains, that was the reason they consumed all of the supplies and didn’t sell any to others.
As per the other materials such as the fur, horns, muscles, and bones, they were not sold due to low prices and were kept in the warehouses.
“But you have limited use for the monsters and we’re more professional in this aspect.” Yin Manshu stared at him and said gently: “I’ll let the financial department calculate in order to pay the highest prices for the monster materials, then we can sell those weapons at a reasonable price to you, let’s cooperate with each other with a win-win strategy.”
Jiang Shaoliu thought it was very interesting, he raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly: “Yin Manshu, you didn’t mention the power of Chi Xiao’s brother in your previous recordings, now there must be a battle between us since we’re enemies, do you think it’s possible for me to agree when you talk about the cooperation issue?”
With a slightly changed face, Yin Manshu shook her head and replied: “Please trust me, Jiang Shaoliu, I know more things than you, however, Chi Xiao’s brother has never showed his real power, that’s why I can only tell you that he’s strong and mysterious, and I believe you can defeat him.”
Jiang Shaoliu smiled and didn’t speak.
According to what she said, she must know much more about Chi Xiao’s brother and he was guessing correctly.
“It’s my own business whether I can do it or not, but it’s not good to conceal things from me.” Jiang Shaoliu looked at Yin Manshu and said coldly: “I have to warn you, Yin Manshu, don’t try to hide anything from me, you must tell me everything you know.”
Yin Manshu stiffened, looked at his eyes, and asked: “Why?”
“For no reason.” Jiang Shaoliu rolled his eyes, measured her, and raised his eyebrows: “Just tell me when you want to be kicked in the b.u.t.t.”
With a red face, Yin Manshu gnashed her teeth, feeling shy and angry.
“Sorry, Jiang Shaoliu.” After keeping silent for a while, the blush faded. Yin Manshu still felt a little uncomfortable and said sincerely: “I will not play petty tricks in the future and I’m sincere in my desire to cooperate with you this time. It’s not a bad idea for your league, so please trust me and you can think about it carefully.”
Jiang Shaoliu looked at her, shook his head and said gently but still with a fierce look: “Stop the tricks and scheming, or else, I will kick your b.u.t.t with the monkey king no matter where you go.”
Yin Manshu’s face was bright red, she glanced at him and said in a low voice: “Please trust me, Jiang Shaoliu, I’m not hiding a secret about his brother because I don’t even know how strong he is.”
“I don’t believe you.” Jiang Shaoliu murmured angrily: “I will reply to you later, let me think about it first.”
Yin Manshu nodded and looked at him quietly. Jiang Shaoliu was also looking at her, speechless, which was a little embarra.s.sing.
Now it was becoming dark outside the shelter, the big mountain in the sky had sunk into the darkness while the golden barrier continued glittering like a flowing river.
Standing next to dozens of heavy trucks, Zhang Shunli raised his smart.w.a.tch, hesitated for a while and sent a message.
Ding, ding, ding
Yin Manshu looked at the watch and then turned to Jiang Shaoliu, speaking in a low voice: “I’ve finished the preparation of your materials, it’s time for me to go back now.”
“So” Jiang Shaoliu’s eyes lit up and he asked: “By the way, Yin Manshu, I have something to ask you, do you have any more information about Chi Xiao’s brother? And what’s the vision in the sky? What’s the secret behind that? I want to know more and prepare ahead.”
“I cannot explain it to you in simple words, let me send you the files when I’m back. Well, I’ve to go now.” As she said this, Yin Manshu stood up and said gently: You can ask me any time you have any questions. ”
Jiang Shaoliu stood up, hesitated and said: “All right, let me take you out of the shelter.”
They walked through the shelter side by side without saying anything, it seemed as if there were some kind of special feelings between them and they started walking slower.
As they walked out of the shelter, Yin Manshu got into her car, rolled the window down, waved, and smiled: “Jiang Shaoliu, I’m leaving now, I will come to the Wan Yao Restaurant for dinner next time, but don’t fool me with the rice again.”
Then the engine started and the vehicles left.
Jiang Shaoliu stood there, feeling stunned as he watched her drive off.
Ruo Feng and Zhao Yang went to him and Zhao Yang reached out to pat Jiang Shaoliu on the shoulder and grinned: “Don’t lose this chance, she’s such a beautiful and wealthy girl.”
“I could never believe there’s nothing special happening between you two.” Ruo Feng hugged his arms and hummed: “Personally, I think the Yungang League will belong to Yin Manshu before long, she’s such a clever girl and she’s using the beautiful girl trap on him now.”
But Jiang Shaoliu didn’t want to respond and turned to walk to the shelter.
Sitting in the heavy truck, Yin Manshu looked at Jiang Shaoliu when he turned around through the mirror, she felt a little embarra.s.sed and her face became red.
Later at night in the shelter, Jiang Shaoliu read the files sent by Yin Manshu and frowned.
According to the files, there were so many pract.i.tioners and practicing methods from the ancient times, even the G.o.ds from the fairy tales were real.
But there was only one chance for the natural laws, and after a certain period of time, hundreds or thousands of years, there might be great changes in the world, it was also during this period when all the lives on earth would have the chance to practice and obtain the opportunity to be in the uncommon field.
When they lost the opportunity, they didn’t have the chance by the time the next one came due to the human lifespan. There were so many powerful ancestor masters who established sects for practicing, and they tried to recruit many smart students for the inheritance before the great changes disappeared, they were doing this for generations and generations.
They usually hid, practicing in holy lands. They sent out the sect teachers or even the leaders to the world for new students, but they did so secretly.
The Jin Shan faction was one of the ancient sects, and the master had taken him back to the sect when he discovered Chi Xiao’s brother was so talented. So he had become a student of the master of the Jin Shan faction. He helped Chi Xiao and Gui Gui with the martial arts before the great changes, then he found the chance and went back to the sect to continue practicing.
For these old sects, which were established in strange s.p.a.ces without being connected to the pract.i.tioners, there were no methods of communication that could enter.
“That’s why Chi Xiao couldn’t connect with his brother before he died, it’s just because those pract.i.tioners live so separately and in isolated places.” Jiang Shaoliu muttered and continued to read.
There were many sects with close relationships to the world, including the Jin Shan faction. Take the Xin Xun Web, for example, the Tai Shan Group was supported by the Taoist faction and they had posted a video of a Taoist with five gold rings.
Besides the Tai Shan Group, there were other powers with backgrounds in the Taoist faction as well, and some of them were even supported by the Buddhist faction with such secret information unknown. There were also other industries in the world with practicing factions besides the two main factions, and only the nation or those with a practicing faction background knew about them, which was what made it so complicated.
“So, it really is complicated.” Jiang Shaoliu felt a little shocked.
With the support of those ancient factions, these powers must be too big to be imagined. The Yungang League was small compared to them.
Ding, ding, ding, the smart.w.a.tch rang.
It was Yin Manshu, and Jiang Shaoliu picked it up quickly.
“Sorry, Jiang Shaoliu, I can only provide information on Chi Xiao’s brother and these ancient factions.” Said Yin Manshu with guilt: “I don’t know much about the vision, but I think these factions and the country may know more about it.”
Yin Manshu might not be deceiving him, when she said she didn’t know much, she meant that she only knew some of them.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Shaoliu replied: “Can you tell me as much as you can about the vision?”
“It is all only rumors, and one of them is that the vision will appear when the great changes occur, and at that time, many strange creatures will fall from the sky and the pract.i.tioners from the ancient factions may call them the exterior demons.” Yin Manshu hesitated and said: “And there’s another kind of saying, which is that those exterior creatures will show their practicing knowledge to the human beings first, then they will be worshipped as G.o.ds and they will transmit civilization to us.”
Then she was quiet and waited for Jiang Shaoliu’s reply.
