Chapter 77: Deception and Flattery (Seeking Recommendations)

  As for Yue Yunjie's expectations, Yue Yu could only bitterly smile in her heart. If it were before she had adventurously pushed her own Great Chaos Technique to the tenth layer, she would have still had a few parts of confidence. Relying on the help of the Five Elements Spirit Pill, although there was still some difficulty, it wasn't something that couldn't be done.

  But at present, being able to advance to second-level martial artist within three years is already considered very good. This is still with the help of Pei Yuan Pill; if not, it's likely that his internal energy won't have much progress in the next five years.

  However, Yue Yu was also clear that at this moment, no matter how uncertain he felt in his heart, for now, he could only agree first and talk about it later. As for whether he could do it or not, he would have to wait and see his own luck. Anyway, with a set of archery skills in hand, he didn't need to care too much about the faces of his clan members.

  "Fei'er, you don't have to worry too much either, just take a look at this!"

  Seeing Yue Yu's hesitant face, Yue Yongjie's lips curved slightly, guessing that Yue Yu might be in a difficult situation. However, this was also within his expectations. After cultivating the inner breath to the tenth layer, it was already worlds apart from before. No matter how talented someone was, it was impossible to guarantee that they could jump three ranks in just three years and enter the realm of a mid-level martial artist.

  He carefully took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it over to Yue Yu with extreme care. Yue Yu was first taken aback, but then looked at the small bottle in her hand, which was less than two fingers in size, with a thoughtful expression.

  "Could it be that this is Qiang Ji Wan?"

  "Exactly!"

  Yue Yonjie nodded and explained with a self-satisfied smile: "These three Strong Brain Pills in the bottle were originally rewards for our clan's recent great competition. However, since you, Yu'er, cannot participate in this great competition, it would be somewhat inappropriate to keep them! After discussing with several elderly family members, we decided that giving them to you would be the most suitable decision!"

  Yue Yu was taken aback and lost his smile, but he didn't hesitate to put the porcelain bottle directly into his own bosom. He thought to himself that he had been planning for half a year, and as a result, this reward had fallen into his hands so easily. However, he did not know what rewards Ran Li and Lin Zhuo had received in the end. If it wasn't medicine, then it should be a weapon or a mount, anyway, its value shouldn't be much worse than this Strong Brain Pill.

  At this time, Yue Yon-jie's eyes were already shining brightly again: "If in the future, our clan can provide you with three such strong marrow pills every month?"

  This time, it wasn't just Yue Yu, but also the people next to him, such as Yue Yunwen and Yue Yizhen, who all had looks of shock and envy on their faces. A Strong Bone Pill was worth at least a hundred gold coins on the market, and ordinary people found it even harder to buy one. Three pills per month was simply not counting the cost. However, in an instant, including those twenty Xuan Jia riders, they all regained their composure, with looks of "it's only natural" in their eyes. These people were used to the rule that the strong ruled, and if the clan still hesitated to spend a large sum of money on someone like Yue Yu, that would be truly foolish.

  Yue Yu himself was also stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. The bitter taste in his mouth grew thicker. He thought that he didn't know what the effect of this Strong Brain Pill would be, and if it didn't work at the critical moment, he really didn't know how to explain it.

  But what was most helpless was that at this moment, he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to. With a silent sigh, Yue Yu still calmly bowed to Yue Yunjie.

  "Thank you, Uncle, for your cultivation! Three years later, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

  Yue Yunjie smiled slightly and finally shifted his gaze away. "Yu'er, I suppose your family doesn't know about this yet?"

  "Recently I was just looking for an opportunity to have a clear talk with my mother!" Yue Yu frowned, feeling a bit strange in her heart. Why did Yue Yunjie suddenly ask about this? As for how the other party would know, it didn't seem unusual. With Yue Yunjie's astuteness, he probably already knew when he visited their home that day.

  "In that case, let's just keep pretending for now!"

  It seems that he was worried about Yue Yu's dissatisfaction, and Yue Yongjie's expression turned serious again. "It's not that I don't trust your mother, it's just that your little sister is still young, and for now, my family needs to pretend to be on good terms with the people from Dan Yun City. You and your mother are both bound to be thoroughly investigated by the people from Dan Yun City, and now I'm just afraid that...".

  Yue Yu's eyebrows suddenly slightly raised, he knew that the remnants of his hands from that day had all been dealt with by the clan before dawn the next day. Just like Yue Youning, who owed him a huge sum of money, and his apprentice, they have not been seen until now, nor does anyone know if they are being hidden in some corner of the clan.

  He said that he would be thoroughly investigated by the Dan Yun City, which is really puzzling. However, this matter is nothing to him anyway. In the beginning, outside of Hong Fei, he also killed Hong Zheng and the fiancée of Yue Lin, in order to prevent the Yue family and the Dan Yun City from truly coming together again, making him a scapegoat.

  Now the attitude of the clan has become clear, and it's really unnecessary to destroy it again. But as for Zhang Shi's place, it's not that he can hide it if he wants to. I estimate that within three months, his mother will inevitably see through him, or even discover his secret today, and Yue Yu won't find it strange either.

  The power of the dragon and unicorn horse is indeed extraordinary, but after each ride, there are those two tons of carved corpses dragging behind, which slows down the speed a lot. By the time they returned to the fields outside the valley entrance, it had taken around 40 minutes.

  The martial artists and farmers here have all suffered at the hands of the Iron Winged Eagle flock, yet they watch as they return with dozens of eagle corpses, their entire journey filled with cheers and celebration.

  Until a line of people at the valley mouth, unloaded the carved corpse, and the speed accelerated again. In less than twenty minutes, the front Yujia City was already in sight. At the city gate, Yue Yu changed back to his dragon-horned horse, and then parted ways with Yue Yunjie and others, leaving alone.

  As he watched the young man's back disappear into the distance, Yue Yunwen's gloom on his face gradually deepened. "Brother, that night, there were nearly a hundred people who witnessed it. Even if they can't think of who he is for the time being, later on, they will surely come to their senses. There are many mouths in this place, and I'm afraid it won't be possible to keep it hidden from the people of Dan Yun City..."

  "That night's people were a bit of trouble, but the guests at the banquet were all from my four houses' direct lineage, so they naturally knew what was important! As for others, at most we'll just reopen the Buxing and Lianxue Halls ahead of schedule this year, and coincidentally, the south gave us a good excuse! In short, this matter, the longer we can hide it, the better. The more we drag it out, the more time we have to prepare."

  Yue Yunjie waved his hand with a worried expression, saying that he also felt helpless. Although Yue Yu had left some room for maneuvering for the clan, the troubles he brought to the clan were just as many, making him extremely headache.

  "Never mind that, but on your side, when are you going to send Jin Xu and Yue Feng's heads over? If you're still thinking of that little concubine of yours, I'll have to ask for family law to be enforced! She's just a pretty woman, can't you find another one in this vast land?"

  "I've been with her for many years, and I do have some feelings! But don't worry, brother, I won't let this woman ruin the family's big plans! However, Jin Xu is being cautious right now, and if we handle it rashly, it will only make people suspicious. I plan to put him on ice for half a year first, and then find an excuse to deal with him later. By that time, no one will remember anything."

  Yue Yunwen's expression was extremely gloomy, and he let out a bitter laugh before turning his head to look at Yue Yizhen. "Speaking of which, you've cultivated him so much, it's indeed beneficial for the clan. But can't you see that he's not even a little bit grateful?"
