Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 463 - 251 Not Afraid of Losing Face, The Truth About Spirit Root_2

Chapter 463: Chapter 251 Not Afraid of Losing Face, The Truth About Spirit Root_2

If no one ever leaves home, then these two states would be even more meaningless.

If there were no method to compound spiritual materials, he would not have been so decisive, but now it’s a different story altogether.

"You are being... overly cautious." Cheng Kong Master appeared to be in a difficult position, his smile tinged with bitterness, "Are you sure you don’t want it?"

"No, I don’t."

Xie Qingxue glanced at Zheng Fa and then her gaze swept over the Nascent Souls of Jiushan Sect, her expression inexplicably moved.

"You have made great contributions to the eradication of the Great Freedom Demon Sect..." Cheng Kong Master said, "I originally thought that these two states would be an adequate reward, but you... So what does Jiushan Sect desire?"

The Nascent Souls below exchanged glances.

Even Xie Qingxue couldn’t help but twist her face a bit.

This was flipped around!

One person insisted on giving, while the other insisted on refusing.

She could read the silent screams on those Nascent Souls’ faces—they didn’t want it, give it to me!

But thinking about the style of Supreme Dao in accepting disciples all over the place, she understood Cheng Kong Master’s intentions.

Offering a reward was a pretext; the real intent was to court favor.

Did they think Tongming Master was that generous?

The celebration of Netherworld Immortal’s death was probably hasty because they wanted to ingratiate themselves with Zheng Fa.

In the end, it was all about the jealousy of Jiushan Sect; the dumplings were wrapped for this meal.

Xie Qingxue pondered for a moment; among the legends she had heard of Supreme Dao taking disciples, such a gesture was extremely grand.

In fact, she had never heard of a second person.

Unexpectedly... Zheng Fa was not at all tempted!

Zheng Fa was stunned, looking into Cheng Kong Master’s earnest eyes, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

But Cheng Kong Master’s expression suddenly changed, not looking at him but at Zhang, standing next to him.

Zheng Fa turned his head and looked at Zhang, only to see her staring at the Quiet Bamboo on top of Qingyun of Tongming Master without blinking.

He almost blurted out: Who wants the Quiet Bamboo...Quiet Bamboo for what!

But, Zheng Fa really did want it...

They had been studying those withered branches for days, but couldn’t see anything special; they were just ordinary bamboo leaves.

Zhang... really knew him too well!

"..."

Cheng Kong Master twitched his lips, staring at Zhang for a long while, but Zhang remained calm, still not averting her eyes.

Emphasizing a point of although I won’t say it, you should understand.

In the end, it was Cheng Kong Master who relented; he thought for a while and actually handed the Quiet Bamboo to Zheng Fa.

"This item... I can only lend it to you, you must return it!"

Zheng Fa’s eyes widened slightly; how stingy this person was!

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots are precious; even though this Quiet Bamboo is about to die, it cannot be freely given to outsiders. Even within the sect, we will try to save it...before my senior brother arrives, you need to give it back to me."

Listening to this, Zheng Fa understood; from Wuzhi’s words, one could tell that this thing was related to Buddha’s Dao Fruit, and it was not something that ordinary magical treasures could compare to.

Supreme Dao valued it highly—even Cheng Kong only dared to lend it.

He nodded, grasped one end of the Quiet Bamboo, and gently tried to pull it, to no avail.

"Master?"

"You must return it to me..."

It was apparent that Cheng Kong Master was much more reluctant to give away the two states compared to earlier.

Of course, it might also be because those two states were not his to give, but the Quiet Bamboo was...

"Definitely, definitely!"

"Why do you want the Quiet Bamboo?"

"Just to cut a couple of slices... to take a look!"

"...Don’t you kill it!"

With some difficulty, Zheng Fa finally held the Quiet Bamboo in his hands.

Cheng Kong Master sighed and then confirmed again: "Are you really content with just borrowing this thing?"

Zheng Fa nodded affirmatively.

"I really don’t understand what you’re thinking..." Even Cheng Kong Master looked puzzled, not to mention the other Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivators.

Yes, the Quiet Bamboo was extremely precious, and Supreme Dao also valued it highly—but what use was it for Zheng Fa to take it?

Would he dare not return it?

Thunder Sound Temple might be bold enough to steal, but Jiushan Sect definitely did not have that capability!

In the eyes of these people, Zheng Fa, by forgoing the resources of the two states of Tai and Liang, and merely borrowing the Quiet Bamboo...

It was truly a case of losing the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds.

However, Zheng Fa didn’t care what others thought, he just waited until the end of the victory feast, walked out of the grand hall with Zhang Sister, and slowly made their way towards the temporary residence of Jiushan Sect.

He had been wanting to speak the whole way but hadn’t uttered a word until they arrived at the entrance to the courtyard, and then he asked:

"Zhang Sister, why did you..."

The scene just now was far from Zhang Sister’s usual demeanor—she was a person of great pride, and he was not ignorant of that.

Simply put, she would rather steal than obtain treasures with such an undignified attitude as displayed earlier.

To have Zhang Sister do what she did today, it would probably be harder than killing her.

And getting the Quiet Bamboo, although not significant for Zhang Sister, was very important for Zheng Fa.

"You are the Sect Leader of Jiushan, it’s not appropriate for you to ask for favors or lose face, especially if Cheng Kong Master were to refuse, it would damage the harmony."

"..."

"I am not the Sect Leader, I am not afraid of losing face."

"Sister?"

Zhang Sister stopped at the door of her own house, halted her steps, and suddenly said: "Didn’t you give me all your pride before?"

Zheng Fa was startled, knowing that Zhang Sister was referring to the scene where they jointly accepted the toast from everyone.

"That’s enough."

...

Xie Qingxue also returned to her own small courtyard, thought about it, and then looked for Yan Wushuang.

"Do you have a good relationship with Zheng Fa?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Wushuang puffed up his robust chest.

"Then these next few days, spend more time visiting Jiushan Sect."

"Sister?"

Yan Wushuang was somewhat puzzled; he had been wanting to hang out with Zheng Fa recently, but Sister had not allowed it:

Mainly because he was too blatantly playing both sides...

"Zheng Fa of Jiushan Sect is a person worth making friends with." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Ha, he is indeed the big hero of this occasion! Sister, you think highly of him too, right?" Yan Wushuang’s eyes shone brightly, smiling, "I knew I had an eye for heroes!"
