681 How Can I Do This?
Just as Ye Wuhen had said, this flower grew in the Otherworld. It grew on the path to the Netherworld between the Nine Nether and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. On that path, there were thousands of vengeful spirits and demon gods lying dormant. It was filled with danger.
There were supreme demons hidden among them. Even Meng Tianzheng could not guarantee that he could completely deal with them. Therefore, that place was also known as one of the largest forbidden areas of life in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. For millions of years, no one dared to step foot on that land.
Indirectly, because no one had stepped foot there, there were countless natural treasures growing there. The most famous among them were the three treasures known as the Three Treasures of the Netherworld. Every one of them could make even an existence like Meng Tianzheng go crazy.
For this visit up the mountain, Ye Wuhen specially let his clansmen enter the Netherworld Road to find natural treasures. After losing many experts of the clan, they finally found this Grade Nine Companion Flower.
!!
Although it could not reach a terrifying existence like the Three Treasures of the Netherworld, it was already a rare natural treasure.
Meng Tianzheng could see Ye Wuhenâs sincerity clearly. He silently nodded in his heart and smiled in relief.
âSigh, youâre so considerate.â Shaking his head, Meng Tianzheng smiled bitterly and continued, âBack then, I helped you because I was entrusted by your father. I couldnât bear to see the family that my old friend had been protecting all his life drown, so I took action.
âIâve been friends with your father for ten thousand years. I watched you grow up. Thereâs no need to treat me as an outsider.â
Ye Wuhenâs eyes were filled with tears as he looked at the white-haired Meng Tianzheng on the cloud platform. He knew very well that Meng Tianzhengâs kindness to him was greater than the sky.
After his father passed away, it could be said that the only elder who could make him lower his head was Meng Tianzheng. Only in front of Meng Tianzheng would he have such an emotional change.
âUncle Meng, I will always remember your kindness to me and never dare to forget it. Back then, if you hadnât saved me from the abyss in time, Iâm afraid I would have been buried in the sea of blood and turned into bones in the tomb. This treasure is a token of my sincerity. Uncle Meng, please accept it.â
Speaking of what happened back then, Ye Wuhen couldnât help but cry again. It could be seen what kind of torture this stubborn man was enduring. Only in front of Meng Tianzheng could he vent his emotions so impudently.
Ye Qiu and Ming Yue watched silently from behind and couldnât help but sigh.
âI didnât expect this tough and stubborn man to have such a weak side.â Ye Qiu couldnât help but comment.
Ming Yue also nodded and explained, âEveryone has a weakness and something they care about. Different people care about different things. Therefore, the First Elder often said that the Chiliocosm World emphasizes on changes. There must be a reason for something to exist. This might be the profundity of law.â
Hearing her words, Ye Qiu suddenly asked, âThen Senior Sister, what do you care about? Hehe, could it be me?â
Ming Yue blushed and said coldly, âGet lost.â
âAh, it hurts⦠So Senior Sister doesnât care about me. I feel so uncomfortable, as if there are ants crawling on my body.â
Ye Qiu pretended to be very sad. The corner of Ming Yueâs mouth twitched and she said fiercely, âIf you dare to spout nonsense again, Iâll kill you.â
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu hurriedly stopped because he believed that Ming Yue would really do it. He couldnât guarantee other women, but Ming Yue was quite likely. He had never been able to figure her out with the logic of a normal woman.
The scene returned to the cloud platform.
Looking at the dejected Ye Wuhen, Meng Tianzheng naturally knew in his heart that he was thinking of his wife and children again. He turned around and looked at Ye Qiu. Meng Tianzhengâs mouth moved. After a while, he didnât say anything.
âUn,â After an unknown period of time, Meng Tianzheng smiled indifferently and said, âAlright, since youâre so considerate, Iâll accept this gift.â As he spoke, he raised his hand and took the Grade Nine Companion Flower. He observed it carefully and smiled. âThatâs right. This flower has matured and is an extremely high grade. Unfortunately, itâs useless to me.â
After a while, Meng Tianzheng looked at Ye Qiu. He could tell at a glance that Ye Qiu was very concerned about this thing. Then, he made a choice and said, âHeh, kid, youâve been doing well recently and didnât cause me trouble. Iâll give you this Grade Nine Companion Flower.â
âHuh?â Ye Qiu didnât know how to deal with this sudden surprise. âF*ck, a pie fell from the sky? Impossible. It must be a dream. It must be. Would the old man be so kind?â It was unrealistic, too unrealistic. It was already good enough that the old man didnât mess with him, but he actually gave him a gift?
Ye Qiu couldnât believe that this was true. There must be something wrong. There was definitely a trap. No, no. I have to hold it in. I canât fall for the old manâs trap. Thinking of this, Ye Qiu made an embarrassed expression and said, âThis⦠how can I? First Elder, this is a gift that Patriarch Ye prepared for you. Patriarch Ye doesnât owe me anything. I feel guilty accepting it.â
âItâs fine since youâre thick-skinned. Take it.â Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, Meng Tianzheng said bluntly with a teasing smile.
When Ye Qiu heard this, his face darkened and the corner of his mouth twitched. He had the urge to curse.
âHaha! Daoist Tianyuan laughed unkindly. He suddenly felt that Ye Qiu was much more pleasing to the eye because the two of them were both in the same boat. They had both been tricked by Meng Tianzheng, and they were both said to be thick-skinned. Not bad, not bad. This kid suits my taste.
âPfft,â Even Ming Yue was amused by Meng Tianzhengâs sudden words. That beautiful face was filled with a sweet smile, making oneâs heart flutter. However, Ye Qiu had no intention of admiring it.
There was only one thought in his mind: hit someone! But then again, there didnât seem to be anything wrong with what Meng Tianzheng said.
âHmm⦠It would be a waste not to want it. In any case, Iâve already been said to be thick-skinned. Wouldnât it be a huge loss not to want it?â Thinking of this, Ye Qiu immediately felt relieved. Since they said that he was thick-skinned, he would be shameless to the end.
âHehe,â He chuckled and rubbed his palms together as he walked up. As he took the Grade Nine Companion Flower, he said, âSeriously, I already said I didnât want it, but you insisted on giving it to me. Sigh⦠Iâm so embarrassed. In that case, Iâll accept it. Thank you, Patriarch Ye. Iâll definitely deal with⦠Uh, no, take good care of Junior Brother Ye.â
Ye Qiu didnât forget to add in the end. He didnât know if Ye Qingxuan would be furious when he heard this. My father gave you such a good treasure, but you still want to deal with me?
The corner of Ye Wuhenâs mouth twitched when he saw Ye Qiuâs evil smile. He was very depressed and suddenly felt that this kid was a little asking for a beating. However, since it was Meng Tianzhengâs choice, he had no objections. This was because this was originally for Meng Tianzheng. It was none of his business who he wanted to give it to.
