Zhan Ling also drank a few cups and then took the initiative to ask: "I had wanted to come and make friends with you, but I heard that Junior Hu had been busy with cultivation recently, and was afraid of disturbing you, Junior Brother, so I dragged it out till now."
"I get annoyed when I talk about training on this." Hua Ruge put down his wine cup and said with some distress: "I am a person with a carefree personality, and am only at the fourth level of the Bitterness Sea Stage. I am worried."
"Junior brother, what are you so anxious about?" There was no change on Zhan Ling's face, but he was alert.
He thought that Hua Ruge might soon reveal his ambitions.
"Isn't it because of Fang'er? She said that she would bring me down the mountain to meet her father-in-law? With my cultivation, I'm afraid her parents will despise me." Hua Ruge then sighed: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so lazy to slack off. Sigh."
Zhan Ling was confused, he had thought he could ask her something while she was drunk, but it turned out it was all for the women.
"Senior Brother Zhan, you don't know this, but Fang'er's father is the hall master of Demonic Sect. The two of us address each other as brothers. Fang'er originally called me uncle." Hua Ruge continued: "I didn't expect that after entering the Illusory Sea Sect, I would fall in love with her daughter. Now that I see her again, I can't even speak to her."
"Junior apprentice-brother actually has an old friend with that lady's father?" Zhan Ling said with a smile on his face.
Hua Ruge said in a rather ashamed tone: "Speaking of which, even I feel red in the face. Having this kind of relationship is already quite embarrassing.
"We Immortal cultivators live a long life, so there's nothing wrong with being older. Moreover, Junior Brother, you are currently the one in charge of Tianyuan Palace, so I presume that tiny Demonic Sect is not enough to fawn on you. " Zhan Ling comforted her.
Hua Ruge shook his head: "Senior Zhan has praised me too much, I am only giving you temporary titles. Once the crisis in our Illusory Sea Sect has passed, I will take my leave and return to my mountain to do small business."
Zhan Ling asked curiously: "Why do you think that, Junior Brother?"
"It would be more appropriate for the person in charge of Tianyuan Palace to be a person with both an important identity and an imposing strength. Also, Junior Brother is a person with a sloppy personality, so I really can't accept such restrictions." Hua Ruge shook his head as he spoke, as if he didn't have the slightest bit of attachment towards this place.
"Junior brother, your words are too wrong. Since you have the ability to sit in this position, it is naturally appropriate."
Hua Ruge shook his head: "This mountain is just too bitter, why not go down the mountain and have fun for Young Master Feng."
Looking at Hua Ruge's expression, Zhan Ling felt that she was not really a big threat, and that even if she had the ability, she wasn't an ambitious person. Thus, Zhan Ling relaxed and laughed: "I'm just afraid that Master won't let you go."
"Even if you don't want me to, I will request for a favor." Hua Ruge said and said again, "Don't be in such a hurry to chat, eat, eat."
Zhan Ling nodded.
The two of them toasted each other again, and only left late into the night when Zhan Ling was somewhat drunk.
Hua Ruge got up while holding the wine jug and said, "We didn't have enough fun talking this time, Senior Brother Zhan, why don't you stay with me? We can sleep together, we can talk later."
"No, no. I will definitely invite Junior Brother to come visit my mountain peak. Goodbye." Zhan Ling said as he flew far away.
After he left, Hua Ruge's hazy gaze gradually became clear. She turned her head to look at the good wine and dishes on the table, and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Tuoba Rui's pleasant voice came from behind her.
He had already arrived at the summit early, and only returned to the side hall to rest after seeing the two drinking with each other, and only walked out after Zhan Ling had left.
"Talking to someone who thinks he's smart is boring. It's a waste of my table of good wine." Hua Ruge shook his head.
Tuoba Rui walked to her side and said, "I even thought you were going to sleep together because you couldn't keep him."
"Do you really believe me when I say that? If I can even take a fancy to someone as stupid and evil as him, what kind of eyes would I have?" Hua Ruge shuddered at the thought. It was fortunate that she had seen the world, if she had really been bewitched by this, her life would truly be miserable.
Tuoba Rui laughed and asked: "Where did you see that he's bad?"
"He's obviously here to test me. He wants to know if I'm up to no good." Hua Ruge snorted and continued, "If I reveal a little bit of ambition, I'll probably be locked up and killed tomorrow."
"This person is not stupid, be careful." Tuoba Rui patted her back and said, "Go back and tell me."
"He would be cuter if he's really stupid." Hua Ruge turned around as he said this.0
Returning to the hall, Tuoba Rui said: "Looks like the Master of Illusory Sea Sect really can't sit still anymore. We have to be more careful in the future."
"That old guy is also a nuisance." Hua Ruge scratched his chin and said: "But I don't think he has done it that quickly. We should be able to go first."
Tuoba Rui nodded.
Because of the huge profit from the mines in the north, all the major sects in the outside world had their eyes turned red. The friction between them became more and more intense. In the end, they even started fighting.
If something like this happened, then there would be others that would follow. Thus, one after another, sects would take action in order to obtain resources.
Master of Illusory Sea Sect was very happy after he found out. He gave away such a big piece of fat just so that he could consume the strength of these sects. When his goal was achieved, he would naturally use methods to take back the lost ores.
Therefore, the disciples of Illusory Sea Sect who were trying to maintain order only put in the effort on the surface, and couldn't get into conflict while staying near the mines. There was no doubt about the rules of the sects that they really wanted to snatch.
At first, they were still small sects, but in the end, even the large first-rate and second-rate sects started to show signs of conflict, constantly causing internal conflicts.
At the same time, the number of auction houses in the Nine Prefectures stopped increasing. Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce placed all of its energy into recruiting guards and aides to prevent them from being targeted in the future. At the very least, it should have the ability to protect itself.
The competition between the various sects was getting fiercer and fiercer. The Illusory Sea Sect was like watching a tiger fight while sitting in the mountains.
After two months, she felt that the fire was at its breaking point. So far, the various big sects had all held back because they were fighting over the fire, and had not injured too many people, continuing on would only result in serious injuries.
Shangguan Li who was with the Little Marten far away in the Immortal Beast forest naturally knew this, so she slowly opened her mouth and said: "It's time to act."
"Do you need my help?" When the Little Marten heard this, it sat down from the side.
Shangguan Li smiled and shook his head: "No need."
"Not again." The Little Marten heard and said with a bit of disappointment: "I haven't fought for half a month and my hands are itching to fight. Can't you let me fight that old lion to the east again?"
Shangguan Li immediately shook his head: "No, that Leonis is too strong, if we fight him now, you will be at a disadvantage."
"Let me try. Even if I can't beat him, he won't be able to kill me. I'm only slightly injured." The Little Marten said with a tone of discussion.
Shangguan Li, who had always been decisive, had a complicated expression on his face.
