Chapter 3 If you do not abandon me, I will take you as my godfather.
Yue Buqun was very curious about the news he was about to hear. He leaned on his sword with one hand, and although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were very cold. He looked at Yue Yuan as if he were looking at a corpse.
He felt a chill run down his spine when Yue Buqun looked at him like that.
But since things have come to this, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. Better to sacrifice my friend than myself. Sorry, Lao Denuo.
He cupped his hands in greeting and met Yue Buqun's eyes. "Sect Leader Yue, I just received some news that these people were summoned by Lao Denuo. Their purpose is to have me take over the tavern and make money for Songshan."
Seeing Yue Buqun's face growing increasingly dark, he continued, "Doesn't this prove that Lao Denuo is from Songshan?"
Yue Buqun sneered: "You even know that?"
"Sigh..." He sighed, "It's not that I want to know, but that demoness told me. To be honest, I don't have long to live anymore. They drugged me, and without the antidote from Mount Song, I probably won't live past next month!"
Upon seeing this, Yue Buqun swiftly grabbed his wrist, and then a warm breath entered his body, like a cup of hot water in winter. He shivered from the heat.
Is this what internal energy is?
Before he could feel it again, Yue Buqun had already released his hand, and the warm breath disappeared from his body.
"You've been poisoned with a rare poison, and only the one who administered it can cure it," Yue Buqun said, before sheathing his sword again.
Killing Yue Yuan would do him no good. On the contrary, Yue Yuan's current deep hatred for Songshan is actually a good thing. Although the Zixia Divine Skill cannot cure the poison in Yue Yuan's body, it can alleviate it. In that case, Yue Yuan will be under his control.
Yue Yuan is quick-witted; he might be a good weapon against Songshan.
Thinking of this, a kind smile appeared on his face, completely different from his previous sinister appearance.
"Don't be sad. I can cure your poison, but I can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. It flares up once a month, and each time it will be more severe than the last."
Upon hearing that it could save his dog's life, Yue Yuan immediately bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Master Yue, for saving my life. If you will not abandon me, I am willing to join Mount Hua, become your godfather, and serve you for life, never to leave you."
Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. What Lü Bu could do, Yue Yuan could do as well. Besides, he didn't kneel down and swear an oath, while Gao Qiqiang was offering to take care of someone in their old age and see them off in public.
He has some backbone; at least he didn't kneel down to his father-in-law.
This time, however, Yue Buqun was surprised. He had seen many shameless people, but he had never seen anyone with such a flexible bottom line.
However, Yue Yuan is quick-witted and has a grudge against Songshan, so he is someone who can be used.
There will eventually be a battle between Mount Hua and Mount Song. His disciples don't have that kind of brains. Thinking of this, he smiled and helped Yue Yuan up.
"No need for formalities, from now on we will address each other as master and disciple."
Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan was overjoyed and immediately bowed to Old Yue again, his attitude extremely sincere.
"Master!"
"Okay, now you can tell me your method!"
Yue Yuan bowed and said, "Master, isn't Lao Denuo from Songshan? Later, Master, you can have Lao Denuo come into the tavern in your name, and then we can come in from outside, claiming that Lao Denuo killed these people, and spread the word. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"
"that's all?"
Yue Buqun was very disappointed.
I thought it was some kind of brilliant idea, but it turns out it's just this.
What's the use of this idea?
Yue Yuan disagreed, believing that the simplest strategy was the most effective. He immediately said, "Master, this is a great opportunity for a counter-espionage plan. I have already agreed to join Songshan. I saw Liu Xinyan with a carrier pigeon before, so I suppose she is contacting Songshan."
"If I send back news of Lao Denuo's betrayal, wouldn't I become the only spy within the Huashan Sect? Master, if you reward Lao Denuo again, will Songshan still believe him? Wouldn't I be the only spy capable of leaking information? And then I'd have to find a reason to send Lao Denuo away..."
After thinking about it, Yue Buqun finally agreed with this statement. Only in this way could the benefits of this matter be maximized, not because his method was particularly clever.
"You can't sleep here anymore. Go sleep in the innkeeper's room." After saying that, Yue Buqun picked up his sword and walked out of the room. It seemed that he was going to call Lao Denuo over and then frame Lao Denuo for this.
Seeing the dead bodies scattered all over the ground, Yue Yuan dared not delay and rushed into the innkeeper's room.
He had been wondering why the shopkeeper wasn't here today, but it turns out that old bastard Yue Buqun was coming. That old geezer is really something else.
He wrote two notes, tied one to the leg of the pigeon Liu Xinyan was raising and released the pigeon, and placed the other on the window in front of the tavern, waiting for the members of the Demonic Cult to come and collect it. After doing all this, he slumped weakly in the innkeeper's room.
What a mess this is! We almost got completely ruined.
He feels incredibly terrified when he thinks about it now; the moment he closes his eyes, he sees the room full of corpses.
Just as he was muttering to himself, a mechanical voice came from his mind, and then his thoughts appeared in a golden space, where a panel appeared in the void.
[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have come into contact with a major storyline character. The check-in system has been activated.]
Oh my god, finally the cheat code has arrived!
The system's appearance finally washed away the fog that had been filling his mind, and all the feelings of disappointment he had just felt vanished.
He began to seriously study the attendance system, after all, it was his hope for survival.
[Panel is opening...]
The check-in system is similar to a game system, with main quests and side quests, all of which are listed in the [Quest Panel].
The backpack is easy to understand; it's like a small warehouse. Every Chinese person has a tendency to hoard, so the existence of this warehouse is quite logical.
[Skills] likely refers to storing learned martial arts techniques or similar skills.
The character panel introduces his basic information, but wait, why is his title listed as a disciple of the Sun Moon Cult? Does the system assume he's an undercover agent for the Demonic Cult?
And why is his name purple?
Oh~ He was poisoned. Well, he did indeed take the Three Corpse Brain God Pill and was also poisoned by the Songshan Sect.
So what if he's in purple? At least he's still alive, while the fat chef is dead.
[Checking in to Yue Buqun has been successful. You've been rewarded with ten chances to win a prize. The prize pool has been updated.]
A lottery machine appeared in front of him, filled with colorful balls, some with instructions on how to use them, and others with a thank you message.
Although he had never won the lottery before, he was always unwilling to give up without trying. No gambler loses every day, and no child cries every day.
Looking at the thing that resembled a lottery machine, he pressed the start button.
"10 consecutive draws, give me a huge boost of cultivation techniques..."
[Ding~~ Congratulations on receiving a calligraphy brush]
[Ding~~ Congratulations on mastering calligraphy!]
Thank you for your patronage. *7
[Ding! You have obtained the martial arts manual "Five Poisons Manual"]
Li Mochou once studied the "Five Poisons Manual" and developed a set of palm techniques called the Five Poisons Divine Palm. Those who are hit will have cinnabar-like finger marks on their wounds, and when the poison takes effect, their face will turn black, accompanied by severe pain and intense itching, making them extremely difficult to treat.
This is the perfect choice for murder and robbery, but you have to practice it secretly. If Old Yue finds out, you're doomed.
I wonder if this "Five Poisons Manual" can cure the poison in his body. If it can, that would be an unexpected surprise.
Just then, a sound came from outside; it must be Laudenau arriving.
In the backyard, Laudenuo saw Liu Xinyan lying on the ground. He rushed forward and hugged her body tightly, weeping bitterly, "Junior sister, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and find the murderer who killed you."
