Chapter 172 Undercurrent

I excitedly found a crossroads and sent Wei Xuesong's Earth Soul into the underworld.

I had completed a task that was almost Heaven-tier, but Black and White Impermanence didn't even praise me, only said "Mmm" and left.

People get old and just don't know how to praise others.

Ye Yang also doesn't know how to praise people. Is he getting old too?

That old geezer is probably even older than Old Liu!

While I was sizing up Ye Yang, Lin Zhao suddenly said, "We blackmailed Wusheng for sixty years of life and got thirty years of Wei Xuesong's life. We made a killing!"

"If we calculate it this way, can we skip Feng Jie's task?"

I thought it made sense: "Then contact Feng Ruoxing and tell them to come back. We have enough lifespan. With that time, we could take on a business and make some money. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Ye Yang drove the car into the river, so we need a new car. Bring Feng Ruoxing back, and we'll figure out a way to make some money."

I was dreaming of getting rich! But Lin Zhao brought me bad news: "Li Po, Feng Ruoxing and the others are missing. Butcher Sister has already gone over there."

I was stunned: "What's going on?"

Lin Zhao said, "We don't know the specifics yet. After Feng Ruoxing and the others left, they suddenly lost contact with Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall)."

"Originally, Butcher Sister didn't pay much attention to it, but then news of Feng Jie's disappearance suddenly broke out in the martial world. Butcher Sister got anxious."

"Now Butcher Sister hasn't sent any news either!"

"News of Feng Ruoxing's disappearance spread throughout the martial world!" I frowned. "How did people in the martial world know they were missing?"

As I spoke, I looked at Chen Shuyu, whose face was also extremely gloomy: "Qing Tang, why didn't I get the news about something so important right away?"

Qing Tang panicked, "Master, I'll check it out immediately."

After Qing Tang left, Qing Ming stood behind Chen Shuyu, as if to plead for Qing Tang, but was so frightened by Chen Shuyu's expression that she didn't dare to say a word.

I said in a deep voice: "Old Liu, go back to Liangjie Tang immediately and stabilize the hall. Now that Liangjie Tang has practically emptied out, only Hei Ye Xiao is there. I'm afraid he can't hold the fort."

"Chen Shuyu, you go back with Old Liu."

Chen Shuyu's face turned pale: "Li Po..."

"Call me Hall Master!" I said angrily, "If you don't want to call me Hall Master, you don't have to."

Chen Shuyu looked at Ye Yang for help, but the latter said expressionlessly, "Go back to Liangjie Tang first!"

Just the day before, Chen Shuyu was still wielding a whip to fight ghosts and gods, but at this moment, she was so aggrieved that she almost burst into tears.

Qing Ming said furiously, "Li Po, are you being reasonable? Is it Master's fault that Feng Ruoxing is missing? Why are you sending Master back to Liangjie Tang?"

As soon as Qing Ming spoke, Lin Zhao knew things were going to be bad and quickly stopped her: "Li Po, don't..."

I raised my hand and said, "Shut up!"

I first looked at Old Liu: "Old Liu, let me talk about you first. Are you back to your old tricks again?"

Old Liu was stunned: "Boss, what are you..."

I said coldly, "Did you tell me about the Yunyin Village plan? I don't have to ask about your plan, but I need to know your purpose."

"Do you even see me as the Hall Master?"

Old Liu's face turned pale, and Lin Zhao quickly said, "Li Po, you're being too harsh. Grandpa Liu has been following you through thick and thin for so many years. How could he not see you as the Hall Master?"

I turned to look at Ye Yang: "Chen Shuyu is your person, but let me tell you clearly, I don't want to have someone with ulterior motives around me. You deal with your people."

After I finished speaking, I didn't even look at Ye Yang and turned to leave.

Qing Ming still wanted to say something, but Chen Shuyu stopped her sternly: "Enough, isn't there enough trouble already?"

Lin Zhao chased after me all the way: "Li Po, wait a minute, wait for me."

Lin Zhao finally caught up with me: "Li Po, why are you so angry? This way, not only is it difficult for Old Liu, but even Ye Yang won't know how to handle it!"

I said coldly: "I still have the same principle. Liangjie Tang is not a martial arts hall, but my home. Chen Shuyu's role is great, but I can't let someone who isn't on the same page as us be in my home just because her role is great!"

"With Chen Shuyu's intelligence capabilities, would she not know that the Daoist Thief Sect's secret treasure hidden in Yunlin Mountain is the Blood Chess Piece?"

"I can ignore this matter. After all, it hasn't touched my bottom line yet."

"But would Qing Ming and Qing Tang, the famous intelligence heads, not even know about the rumors in the martial world?"

"They are afraid that after I learn of Feng Ruoxing's disappearance, I will immediately abandon the Yunlin Mountain mission and rush to support Feng Ruoxing."

"This matter has already touched my bottom line."

"Originally, I wanted to save some face for Chen Shuyu and let her leave Liangjie Tang on her own. Since her subordinates Qing Ming and Qing Tang don't know what's good for them, then don't blame me for not giving anyone any face."

Lin Zhao said in a low voice, "But... but... Grandpa Liu is innocent!"

I roared in a low voice: "Can't Old Liu, that cunning old fox, see what I can see? He's keeping quiet because he still wants to keep Chen Shuyu."

"I can't tolerate that!"
