"Yes." Mo Xuanyi and Yun Jueying had no objection to their uncle's suggestion to understand the situation first.
This is what should be done.
"When the Phoenix Qi first rose here, it was noticed by our spies, and our people came to Phoenix City not long afterward and devoted themselves to running the business until today."
The middle-aged man leaned back in the back seat, closed his eyes, and spoke in a cold and expressionless voice: "Just to cover up the leakage of the Phoenix Qi, our people paid an extremely huge sacrifice."
"Seven people came here to take charge of affairs, but only one survived. From its peak to its decline, it completely lost its voice. Pojun and Qisha took advantage of the situation and contacted the Star Lord, who put most of the responsibility on their two sects."
"Later, Zuo Fu intervened, and the Star Envoy descended, and the benefits were further reduced. Our share of this matter was originally planned to be 50%. Later, it was reduced to 20%. As for now, even if this matter can be accomplished, our share of the profits will only be half."
Although the middle-aged uncle's tone was calm, one could tell that he was somewhat indignant.
"Half done?"
Mo Xuanyi and the young man in the back seat obviously knew very little about the Phoenix Vein. When they heard this, they all asked in surprise.
How could they have imagined that the proportion of profits that their forces could share would be so low
The middle-aged man closed his eyes, his body rising and falling with the bumps of the car, and said calmly: "Yes, it is half. And this half profit is not worth my personal effort. The risk and benefit ratio is completely asymmetrical. Since there is not much to gain, why bother to take the lead."
"In other words, I am only here to accompany Xuan Yi this time. I will not expose myself if I can."
"That's all."
"Of course, if possible, I will save your Third Senior Sister's life at the critical moment. That is enough."
Mo Xuanyi was lost in thought and said, "By the way, I haven't met Third Senior Sister yet."
The young man in the back seat, Yun Jueying, sighed and said, "I wonder what Third Junior Sister looks like now... Back then, she was a famous beauty under our Tan Lang Seat."
The middle-aged man said calmly, "It won't be easy, and it won't be easy. She's struggling here alone, and it's precious that she can survive until now. As for maintaining her beauty, you're just overthinking..."
"Now, even if I'm not as old as an old woman, I definitely shouldn't look like a little girl. Otherwise... I would have died a long time ago!"
The young man sighed softly, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
He understood the meaning of this sentence very well. It was already difficult for an ordinary woman to survive in such an environment, let alone a beautiful woman
"From now on, all the related Tan Lang mental skills are not allowed to be used."
The middle-aged man slowly straightened his back and said in a low voice, "Uncle Master, in my lifetime, among my peers, my cultivation is not outstanding, my aptitude is not among the best, and my overall combat power is not among the top three. However, those who are stronger than me are basically all dead now, and I am the only one who is still alive."
"Why do you think it was because of that one word?"
Mo Xuanyi and the young man asked curiously at the same time: "Uncle Fang, what's the word?"
"Now that we are in the heart of the Star Soul, if I don't warn you, I'm afraid you will get me into trouble..."
The middle-aged man looked gloomy and said, "This word is..."
He said softly: "Coward!"
"Coward?"
Mo Xuanyi and the young man were both stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but ask again: "Coward?"
"Yes, I am a coward!"
The middle-aged man was not ashamed at all, and said calmly: "Do you think being a coward is shameful? It's embarrassing?"
"I want to tell you, as long as you master the true meaning of this word, you can save your life even in the most dangerous battlefield, or at least live longer than most people!"
"What is the most important thing in life? Face? Self-esteem? Family? Friends? Son? Hmm?"
The middle-aged man, Uncle Fang, said earnestly, "All the above answers are wrong! The most important thing in life is life! Your own life! Only by living can you talk about the future!"
“No matter how much face and dignity you lose, as long as you are still alive, you will have the opportunity to earn back what you lost, or even earn more! As long as you are still alive, you can always have your family, friends, and everything. But once you lose this life... everything is gone!”
"What was originally yours will become someone else's."
The middle-aged man said solemnly: "In life, you should be timid when you need to be timid!"
"This is the last thing I can teach you as your uncle. I hope you two can remember it."
"This one word is truly the most precious guide to life under heaven and earth!"
“Coward!”
…
Mo Xuanyi and the young senior brother were really stunned for a long time at what their uncle said, and they found it quite funny and awkward afterwards.
No one spoke for a long time.
Coward
Is this the truth, the treasure book that guides people around the world
Is this really not a joke
At least deep down, I really don't agree with it.
Am I surviving and walking in this world just to be a coward? To hide? To survive
Can you give up everything else and hope for a chance to start over? !
This argument...
Both of them were a little puzzled.
Uncle Fang passed on knowledge and treasures like a senior, but ended up giving me the word "coward"... I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.
The middle-aged man sighed softly. Looking at the expressions of the two men, he knew that these two people could not listen to what he said at all, and did not understand it at all!
"Alas, by the time you understand, it may be too late. Life is the hardest to have a second chance..."
He closed his eyes, and many faces flashed through his mind. One by one, they were handsome or beautiful faces with distinct personalities. They were all the famous people in the past... The most popular people in the past, the most outstanding people in the past...
But now, they are all dead.
I still remember that time...
By chance, he encountered that person. All the seventeen sects were killed, and he was the only one left. He gave up his dignity and face, kowtowed and begged, swore and promised, and became a traitor after returning. He agreed to countless conditions regardless of the consequences, and even created conditions and restrictions for himself, helping the other party to find ways to control him...
Finally, finally survived...
So what if I am a genius? So what if I am a seed? So what if I am a genius beyond compare
At that time, the man asked him to get out, but he kowtowed and begged repeatedly, saying that he would collect the bodies of his companions. I don’t know if it was this sense of comradeship that made the man finally let him go and leave.
But that person probably didn't know that after he left, he didn't collect the bodies of the geniuses.
He arranged the heads of hundreds of people in front of him. Almost every one of these people was stronger than him, and they had always bullied him and looked down on him before.
There were those who were particularly handsome, those who were particularly talented, those who came from particularly good families, those who were particularly beautiful, and those who were particularly elegant... Those beautiful female geniuses had never even looked at me or spoken a word to me before, as if they all felt that they were not qualified.
But now, all that was left was the head, placed in front of him, he could do whatever he wanted with it, play with it however he wanted...
He arranged their heads neatly.
Just watching and waiting.
I want to see, won’t Tianjiao’s flesh stink when she dies? Will Tianjiao’s flesh rot when she dies
Finally, I had a sudden enlightenment!
It turns out that they will smell and rot when they die!
If you have such self-respect and are so ready to die, won't you still rot after you die
Since then, I have truly gained enlightenment and understood the meaning of life and death.
You have lived smoothly until now. Now that you have encountered an irresistible enemy, you have to kneel down and kowtow, try to please the enemy, and seek a chance to survive!
Will you die if you kowtow
Maybe you still can’t avoid death!
But if you don’t kowtow, you will definitely die!
"Living long is the true meaning of life!"
The middle-aged man sighed: "I, Fang Yinuo... I am alive today, it's not a fluke at all!"
The car slowly entered Phoenix and blended into the bustling city.
…
The three of them got off the car at a star-rated hotel. The middle-aged man paid ten times the fare before letting the car go: "Thank you for your hard work. When we get back to Ningji City, please say hello to Lao Bai for me."
"Yes, thank you for the reward, uncle."
The middle-aged man patted the driver's shoulder amiably and said, "Be careful on your way home. When you get home, remember to send me a message to let me know you're safe, so that my uncle can rest assured."
"Yes, disciple will remember it."
"Go ahead."
Watching the car turn around and head out of the city, the three of them did not stop but went straight in to check in.
The car drove out of Phoenix and sped along the original route. The driver seemed very excited.
This Master Fang is really good.
This fare fare was voluntary work for me, so there was no way I could get any money for it. But the uncle-master gave me so much as a tip, which was ten times the normal fare. It all went into my pocket. Now when I go back, I can enjoy myself for many days.
However, when they were almost a hundred kilometers away from Phoenix, the driver suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. He subconsciously covered his chest, but he felt more and more uncomfortable. The driver did not dare to delay and stopped the car to take a rest.
The driver stopped by the roadside and rested on the steering wheel, but he never woke up again...
…
Inside the hotel.
"Put down your luggage, let's walk around and see if there's anything we want to buy, and take a look at the local customs and practices here."
The middle-aged man was very relaxed: "If you are interested, you can also play around. Just don't activate our sect's mental method recklessly, just like ordinary people."
"Then when are we going to look for our third junior sister?" the young man asked.
“There’s no rush for this.”
The middle-aged man said, "Let's play for a few days first. We are exhausted both physically and mentally after traveling all the way. We should rest for a few days."
"Before coming here, I did my homework. Less than six kilometers from the hotel is the commercial street, and a five-minute walk across the commercial street is the pedestrian street. There are also snack streets and food streets. There are quite a few streets in Phoenix, and there are more varieties. There is also an antique street, a calligraphy and painting street... Wow, what a good idea."
"Well, going south from this big brand in the city center, it's all luxury goods, clothes, watches, jewelry, etc. It can be said that it has everything. Xuanyi, you can go shopping on this street, I think you will gain a lot."
"The area where we live is the new city area; the area opposite is the old city area..."
The middle-aged man knew everything about Phoenix City in a short moment.
Yun Jueying was full of admiration: "Uncle Master, have you been to this city before and lived here for a while?"
"No."
The middle-aged man taught earnestly: "Jueying, let me tell you the second secret that my uncle has summed up after so many years of wandering around the world: before going to the next target city, it is very necessary to understand the current general planning of the city, as well as the local customs and people."
"After you arrive, you must take a few days to learn all about the main roads and small roads in the city, especially the small roads that are connected. By the way, you must not miss facilities such as air-raid shelters. You never know when they can save your life."
"This is the way to save your life. Always plan your escape route! Remember this!"
"Don't take any action rashly before you are familiar with the city."
"After getting familiar with it, you also need to get familiar with the escape route!"
"Then we go through all the escape scenarios three times and find the best one."
“Then it’s time to take action.”
The young man Yun Jueying was speechless for a long time, and finally coughed and said, "Uncle Master, I will go out and familiarize myself with Phoenix City..."
He ran away in a hurry and left in a panic.
"Uncle Master, I'll go out and get familiar with the situation as well."
"Well, go ahead."
The middle-aged man nodded: "I want to get familiar with the hotel we are staying in first, and then go out for a walk."
Mo Xuanyi rolled his eyes wildly and left.
When he first met this uncle-master, Mo Xuanyi was very respectful to him!
Huayun cultivation!
So elegant!
Be gentle!
Occasionally, a glance would reveal its majestic appearance.
Each one is the best of the time, transcendental and holy, worthy of a great cultivator.
But after walking hundreds of thousands of miles, the awe and respect I felt at the beginning... have long been worn away.
From the reverence from the heart to the superficial etiquette and even some contempt...
To do all of this, this uncle-master only took a short distance, that was all.
…
Mo Xuanyi walked out of the hotel and blended into the crowd. When he reappeared, he had already arrived in front of a steamed bun shop.
"Boss, give me two buns. What fillings do you have?"
"Meat, vegetarian, three fresh dishes, leek and tofu..."
"Give me some leek and tofu."
While paying, Mo Xuanyi asked, "Boss, I heard that there is a fortune teller in Phoenix City? He can tell people's life and death, fortune and misfortune with his eyes, and can predict success or failure with a few words. Is that true?"
The boss laughed and said, "Of course, sir, you are talking about Master Zuo, right? Master Zuo is very famous in Phoenix City. Almost all the rich people in this city have gone to him for treatment. He is very accurate."
