He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 685 Drinking with Liu Si

Elder Mu Feng lowered his head slightly, thinking secretly in his heart. He was naturally aware of the pressure from this person in power. Although this person was not a cultivator in the traditional sense, he was blessed by the way of heaven, and ordinary little monsters could hardly cause him harm. But he did not have such a unique advantage. He said carefully: "This... After the people from the Tiger Sect went in, they never sent back any news. As for how the people from the Demon Suppression Hall successfully sent the news out, it is still unknown. But what is certain is that we can no longer contact the people inside, and the situation seems to have become extremely bad."

The ruler nodded slightly, shifted his gaze from Elder Mu Feng, looked into the distance, and after a moment of contemplation, said: "It seems that this matter requires those secluded ancestors to come out of the mountains. They have enjoyed many benefits brought by the way of heaven, and they can't just be greedy for comfort all the time. At the critical moment, they should also contribute to the overall situation, right?"

Elder Mu Feng immediately understood what the ruler meant. In recent days, many people from the sects have relied on their strength and started to make moves. They either turned a deaf ear to the orders from above or pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed them, completely losing their previous awe. This time, letting the ancestor come out of seclusion may also be an opportunity to suppress the arrogance of these sects. He hurriedly responded respectfully: "Yes."

After Elder Mu Feng left, the man in power sat there alone, looking at the scenery outside the window, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and whispered to himself: "Interesting, it seems that these monsters can no longer hold their temper and are taking the lead in action. Humph, in this case, it's time to start our plan." A sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if he had already seen the sudden changes that were about to unfold.

As soon as Mu Feng left, the "person above" who seemed to be in a high position and had great power slowly turned around, glanced to the side, and said in a steady tone: "Okay, everyone come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 20 people came out from the hiding places in all directions. Just from their distinctive clothes, it can be seen that these people come from different sects. It turns out that they are the spies carefully planted in various sects by the "people above" who have spent a lot of energy and resources. Each of these people has extraordinary abilities. They usually hide in various sects, quietly collecting intelligence, waiting for the moment to be activated.

The "people above" looked at these subordinates one by one, feeling a lot of emotion in their hearts. You know, in order to train these people, how much precious resources have been invested and how much effort has been spent, just hoping that at the critical moment, they can be summoned out and play a key role.

Everyone below stood straight, looking serious, and no one spoke. Seeing this, the "person above" smiled confidently and said loudly: "Remember, this is a great opportunity for you to make meritorious contributions! As long as you complete the task, your efforts will be generously rewarded."

When everyone heard this, a hint of excitement and anticipation flashed in their eyes. Then they nodded in unison and left in a hurry quickly and orderly according to the pre-arranged arrangements.

After everyone left, the "people above" immediately reported the incident in detail. As for how to deal with the monsters, he knew that this would naturally be decided by someone higher up.

At this time, He Yuzhu was completely unaware of all this. He Yuzhu and Lao Si, carrying several jars of fragrant wine in their hands, came straight to the door of Liu Si's room.

He Yuzhu raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, with a friendly smile on his face, and said loudly: "Brother Liu Si, what are you busy with now?"

After a while, the door creaked open. Liu Si saw He Yuzhu, Lao Si and Xiao Li standing at the door. He was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I'm not busy. I was just planning to practice well. After all, I've been through so many things during this period of time that I haven't had time to concentrate on practicing."

He Yuzhu smiled and praised: "Brother Liu Si is so powerful now, and he still insists on practicing every day. He is so diligent and hardworking. I really admire him!"

Liu Si smiled modestly and said, "As the human race often says, hard work can make up for lack of talent. If I were strong enough, I wouldn't have been captured by that human race before."

He Yuzhu quickly waved his hands and said, "You can't say that! He used a sinister conspiracy to catch you. I saw it with my own eyes that day. If I hadn't reacted quickly and dodged in time, I would have fallen into his trap."

Liu Si frowned slightly, looked at He Yuzhu, and asked doubtfully: "Brother Yuzhu, are you telling the truth?"

He Yuzhu patted his chest and said sincerely: "We are good brothers who have been through life and death together. How could I lie to you? I am absolutely telling the truth."

Liu Si has always been confident in his own strength. After hearing what He Yuzhu said, his doubts immediately dissipated and he chose to believe it. Then, he looked at He Yuzhu and asked curiously, "Brother Yuzhu, you came here specially, is there anything else?"

He Yuzhu smiled, raised the wine jar in his hand, and said, "I just met a like-minded friend like you today, so I thought we could have a drink and chat together to relieve the boredom of the past few days. What do you think?"

Liu Si was about to say something, but stopped talking. He thought to himself that since his ancestor was not around and no one was there to control him, it would not be a big deal if he drank a little bit of wine occasionally. Anyway, it was just a little bit, so it shouldn't cause any trouble.

By the way, the reason why He Yuzhu decided to treat Liu Si to a drink was thanks to Xiaoli's reminder. Xiaoli once told He Yuzhu mysteriously that Liu Si, although he looked like a decent person, actually had a very poor alcohol tolerance. He was normal on weekdays, but once he got drunk, he became a completely different person. He became ignorant and unrestrained, and he said whatever he wanted.

When He Yuzhu heard what Xiaoli said, an old friend instantly appeared in his mind. That old friend was the same, he could not drink much, but he liked to pretend to be a hero, always thinking that he could drink a lot. Thinking of this, He Yuzhu felt that maybe he could drink some wine with Liu Si. Maybe after a few drinks, Liu Si would tell him the location where those Taoists were imprisoned. As long as he knew the location, He Yuzhu would have the opportunity to rescue them, which was the most important thing at the moment.

As for Li Di, He Yuzhu had no intention of saving him. In He Yuzhu's opinion, people like Li Di were selfish and had no bottom line. Even if he was rescued, he might sell everyone out without hesitation one day in order to save his own life.
