One person: He secluded himself for eighty years and cured Tian Jinzhong.

Chapter 52 Let's fish slowly

Xiao Zizai was startled.

Cleaners...

For the first time, a light called "relief" appeared in his eyes, which were always filled with madness.

"This junior...has learned a great deal."

Xiao Zizai picked up the piece of pig brain, put it in his mouth, and ate it with complete composure.

"And what about me, senior?"

Old Meng couldn't help but speak up too. He had been huddled in the corner, appearing very humble:

"I...I'm a coward. I'm afraid of dying, afraid of getting into trouble...Am I useless?"

"Xiao Meng."

Su Wuxian sighed and poured Old Meng a cup of wine:

"Being timid is not a mistake; knowing fear is the key to longevity."

"Your problem isn't that you're timid, but that you take the rules too seriously."

"You are a good person, but good people are often bullied by bad people and are also bound by rules."

"Look at Chen Duo now."

Su Wuxian pointed to Chen Duo, who was watching cartoons while holding a milk tea:

"Your so-called protection almost killed her."

"Sometimes, to protect the people you care about, you have to learn to... bare your teeth."

"You are a biologist, capable of controlling countless living beings. When you stop seeing yourself as a 'human being' and instead see yourself as part of nature, you will find that few people are more terrifying than you."

"If you want to protect Chen Duo, do you think you can rely on pleading? Rely on other people's kindness? That's all nonsense. Only when you show your fangs will others fear you and dare not touch Chen Duo."

Old Meng looked at Chen Duo's profile, gripped his wine glass tightly, and a resolute look he had never shown before flashed in his eyes.

"What about me? What about me, Master Su!"

Wang Zhenqiu leaned closer, blinking his big eyes:

"Am I the most normal one in this group? I just like to have fun!"

"you?"

Su Wuxian rolled her eyes at him and shoved his head away:

"You're the one who deserves a beating the most."

"Your playfulness is built on the suffering of others; you enjoy watching people break down and make fools of themselves."

"I call people like you 'funny people,' and you'll get yourself into trouble sooner or later."

"but......"

Su Wuxian changed the subject and laughed:

"This world is so boring, we really need troublemakers like you to liven things up."

"As long as you don't get any shit in my mouth, you can do whatever you want with me."

Wang Zhenqiu: "..."

That doesn't sound like a compliment.

A hot pot meal evoked a variety of thoughts among the diners.

But the way everyone looked at Su Wuxian changed.

People no longer just revere his military prowess, but admire his insightful understanding of the world and his ability to see through people's hearts.

Just then.

There was a knock on the courtyard gate.

"Knock knock knock".

"Who is it so late?" Zhang Chulan got up to open the door.

The door opened.

An old man wearing a gray long gown, with a goatee, and looking extremely refined and easy-going stood at the door, carrying two bottles of wine in his hand.

"Hehe, I'm sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment."

The old man smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

"I am Bi Yuan. I heard that the Celestial Master and Fellow Daoist Su are here, so I have come to pay my respects."

Bi Yuan.

The true mastermind behind Biyou Village is also a famous "teacher" in the world of supernatural beings, having taught ruthless individuals such as Ding Shian (one of the two heroes) and Gong Qing (acting leader of Quanxing).

"Oh, here comes an old fox."

Su Wuxian put down his chopsticks, his eyes turning slightly cold.

If Ma Xianhong is a stubborn idealist.

Then Bi Yuan is nothing but an opportunist and troublemaker.

"Come in."

Zhang Zhiwei spoke calmly:

"Bi Yuan, I've heard about you before. I heard back then that you liked to take on apprentices everywhere, and now it seems you haven't changed that habit."

Bi Yuan walked into the courtyard, looked at the table full of menacing figures, and his smile remained unchanged; instead, he appeared even more humble.

"Old Celestial Master, you flatter me. I am merely a person who appreciates talent, how can I compare to the three of you who have turned this world of extraordinary beings upside down as soon as you descended the mountain?"

"Alright, stop being so polite."

Su Wuxian interrupted him:

"Old Bi, why did you come here in the middle of the night? Are you here to act as a go-between for Ma Xianhong? Or are you here to probe our situation?"

Bi Yuan put down the wine bottle, found a seat, and sighed.

"Yes, we have them all."

"Xianhong is a proud and stubborn child. He was quite discouraged by Fellow Daoist Su today and has locked himself in his room all day."

"I'd like to ask... what exactly are your plans for Biyou Village?"

See the picture poorly.

They're here to negotiate.

Su Wuxian and Zhang Zhiwei exchanged a glance.

Zhang Zhiwei remained silent and continued drinking his tea, clearly handing over the speaking opportunity to his junior.

He doesn't care what happens.

I'm just here to have some fun.

Su Wuxian leaned forward, staring into Bi Yuan's cloudy yet shrewd old eyes:

"Bi Yuan, you've taught so many disciples, haven't you taught them a single word?"

"What did you say?" Bi Yuan was taken aback.

Those who play with fire will get burned.

Su Wuxian pointed in the direction of the cultivation furnace:

"The furnace that Ma Xianhong built is no longer helping people; it's creating evil."

"You, as his teacher, not only did not stop him, but instead fueled the flames here."

"Do you want to watch him die? Or do you want to use him to validate your insane theories?"

Bi Yuan's expression changed slightly, and his smile became somewhat stiff:

"Fellow Daoist Su, you flatter me..."

"Don't take it too seriously."

Su Wuxian stood up and dismissed them:

"Go back and tell Ma Xianhong."

"I, Su Wuxian, have taken a liking to this Biyou Village."

"But what I'm after isn't his furnace, nor his ingenious craftsmanship."

"What I'm interested in is this piece of land."

"Tell him to pack his bags and get out of here, or else when I get my hands on him..."

Su Wuxian grinned, revealing a set of white teeth:

"I'll dismantle even your old bones."

Looking into Su Wuxian's murderous eyes, Bi Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that the young man in front of him was definitely not joking.

This guy dared to cripple even Wang Ai!

"well."

Bi Yuan stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and looked at Bi Yuan with a complex expression.

"I will pass on the message. However... I'm afraid that Xianhong won't give up so easily."

After saying that, Bi Yuan didn't linger any longer and turned to leave in a hurry.

That silhouette looked like it was fleeing in panic.

"Tch, you old fox, you're putting on such a convincing act, it's boring."

Su Wuxian sat back down and continued eating hot pot:

"Come on, keep eating! The air feels so fresh now that the old man's gone."

Zhang Chulan looked in the direction Bi Yuan had left, lost in thought:

"Master, if you push Ma Xianhong so hard, won't he resort to desperate measures?"

"I want him to jump."

Su Wuxian picked up a piece of tripe:

"If he doesn't jump, how will the person hiding behind him give themselves away?"

A glint flashed in Su Wuxian's eyes:

"The water in Biyou Village is murky."

"Let's fish slowly."
