Chapter 99 They thought so too.
Within the city.
A man in ancient costume looked at the cloud-like invitation in his hand and dialed a phone.
"The one from Guyue Village has sent a letter."
A shadowy voice rang out: "Want to go?"
"If we don't go, the musician will be heartbroken," the man in ancient costume said with a faint smile. "She'll definitely draw the attention of the police there; she hates us to death right now."
"Why would we go and walk into a trap? We just raided the factory, we're not short of yang energy now." Yinggui said, "We've also got the Tai Sui clone, there's no need to take this risk."
"The Cloud Mist Tea House is connected to the Blood Wine Cloud River; I'll use them to fish," said the man in ancient attire.
"Fishing? Fishing for whom?" Shadow Ghost asked curiously.
"Something's not right about the battle in the new district. Besides the one we lured out, there was another one who, like me, didn't get involved."
The man in ancient costume said, "At that time, besides the three of us, there was a fourth party. It and I were wary of each other, so we both held back."
"Interesting." The shadow ghost became interested. "Now that I've shown myself, shall I go and give it a try?"
"A medium can go there; we're not lacking in yang energy right now," the man in ancient costume said. "If we find a musician, we'll send her on her way."
Yinggui chuckled, "She's our friend, so she'll definitely savor every bite."
"If necessary, I will provide the security forces with some leads so they can dismantle the Blood Wine's reach. The Jianghan region can only be our granary," the man in ancient attire said coldly. "No one of our kind can touch it, not even Blood Wine!"
Yinggui said worriedly, "That old turtle is getting stronger."
The man in ancient attire said indifferently, "It's still somewhat weak, not as good as Yunhe."
……
The mournful song drifted on the Han River.
A slender woman stood on the water, and the voice came from her, but she did not open her mouth.
"Where is the mourning?"
The human-shaped toad floated to the surface, glaring angrily at the woman: "I shouldn't have cooperated with you. I didn't get anything and just got myself into trouble."
"You don't want revenge?" the musician said coldly. "I can't swallow this insult."
"What can we do if we can't swallow it? Right now, we're just barely scraping by in our old nest."
The humanoid toad sighed dejectedly, "I can't beat them, and I can't just kill people indiscriminately. If I do, the police will chase me like dogs, and who knows when the radar will pick me up."
"I'm talking about the Shadows; they betrayed us," the musician said coldly.
"We still can't beat him." The humanoid toad said weakly, "I'll just be a good Dragon King, you can just focus on making music and living your life."
"The Cloud Mist Tea House has abundant yang energy, and the Shadow Ghosts will be invited; they will definitely go there."
The musician said, "I sent an invitation to the police station. Do you think they'll go?"
"You want them to fight it out so you can reap the benefits?" The humanoid toad's eyes lit up.
"Not bad," the musician nodded.
The humanoid toad's eyes dimmed again: "Forget it, the two of us combined aren't as smart as them. Let's not get ourselves into trouble."
"Yunwu Tea House is related to Yunhe. It was tricked this time and also hates Yinggui. It will help us recover."
The musician patted the toad: "Don't worry, I'm incredibly smart. I'm just too loyal and sentimental, that's why they tricked me."
"Are you smart?" The human-shaped toad seemed a little skeptical.
"I understand music, so why wouldn't I understand these things?" the musician said confidently.
The toad scratched his head, seemingly finding some truth to it.
I'm really in a bad situation right now, so if Yunhe is willing to provide yang energy, that would be a really good thing.
"You are the Dragon King River, and he is the Cloud River. He will definitely not give up on you."
"Well... no, there's also the White Bone Demon. She's a cunning old fox. If she joins the Public Security Bureau, we'll be in even worse shape."
"The White Bone Demon is dead, completely gone, even her ashes have been scattered."
"Alright, I'll go with you."
……
Inside the living room, several ghosts were enjoying tea infused with yang energy.
Gu Bai didn't drink much; having just had a bountiful harvest, he didn't care about these little snacks.
After they finished their discussion, Li Hongyi stayed behind to oversee the new urban area.
The rest of the group went to Wudang Mountain, and after having a good meal, they headed to the Qi and Blood Pill factory.
Gu Bai handed them the invitations: "My injuries haven't healed yet, so I'll just go along to check on them and won't participate."
"If I have any good tea, I'll save some for you," Gu Qingyi said.
"Thank you then." Gu Bai said, "Yunwu Tea House is in Guyue Village, which is Gu Xiaojiao's hometown. I will visit Guyue Village for a few days as a friend, and I will wait for you there."
"Leave it to us. Even if Qingyi doesn't bring you tea, I will," Yanran assured her.
Gu Bai smiled, then asked, "When are we going to Wudang Mountain?"
"Today was too rushed. Pack your things and we'll drive there tomorrow morning. It's not far anyway, we should be there by noon," Gu Qingyi said. "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so get a good night's rest."
"Okay, there are two packets of tea left. You can take them back and drink them," Gu Bai said.
"No need, your injuries are serious, you should save it to recover." Gu Qingyi stood up and said, "Everyone, go, don't disturb Gu Bai's rest."
"whispering sound."
Yanran pouted, but still got up and left.
The security guards took the invitations and left together.
After seeing them off, Gu Bai munched on his meal: "Although Yunhe is a medium, the yang energy it contains is still quite good, especially your previous body. It's really worthwhile to infuse them with your yang energy."
"Just a fool," Tai Sui's voice rang out. "In the end, it understands too little about the world, doesn't trust humans, and instead trusts its own kind who want to devour it."
"Yunhe's proposal really appealed to it," Gu Bai said.
"Yunhe will not tolerate another being like him," Tai Sui said coldly. "He probably wants to destroy me completely, the musician and the sculptor want to devour me, and so does the Shadow Demon."
"Oh? Wouldn't it be better to keep you around?" Gu Bai frowned. "Why don't they understand the importance of a steady, long-term approach? Wouldn't it be better to have a source of income?"
Tai Sui was silent for a moment, then said, "You have been too influenced by humans, or rather, you have become accustomed to human life. You feel uneasy and worried about the future if you don't have savings."
"Aren't you worried about the future?" Gu Bai asked.
"We are born weak, but we have unique strength. The living fear us. At first, I thought that I would have an inexhaustible supply of yang energy."
When I learned that there were others like it, my first thought was to kill it!
Tai Sui said, "Humans compete everywhere. Who among us doesn't want to stand at the top of our kind? It's not that we don't want to take things slowly and steadily, but rather that we are driven by ambition and eager to become the strongest. We spare no effort to improve ourselves and have never thought of living like you, as a human being."
"As long as you live well and don't expose yourself, who would bother you? It's so much better to be like me. We can still be friends. Being the same kind of person doesn't necessarily mean being enemies." Gu Bai took out another shadow ball and put it in his mouth.
"Then why did you take action and kill them?" Tai Sui retorted.
Gu Bai said coldly, "They're stealing food from my territory, how can I let them live?"
Tai Sui said, "That's what they think too."
Gu Bai: "..."
Makes sense.
The dispute over persimmons has always been like this!
