Chapter 145 Ingratitude, Little Blackie, Open the Door

"Do you think King-level treasures are as common as cabbages, just spouting nonsense?"

Luo Xinrou frowned slightly, her expression turning much colder.

Even with her status as one of the top ten disciples of the Li Huo Sect, she could only possess a low-grade Heaven-rank spiritual weapon, which she obtained with great difficulty.

She wouldn't even dare to dream of using a King-level treasure; only a few prominent figures in the sect were qualified to use it.

As for royal-grade treasures, the vast Li Huo Sect only has two: one is in the hands of the sect leader, and the other is a protective mountain formation that cannot be easily moved.

The supreme holy weapons are only possessed by the most powerful holy lands and a handful of top-tier sects.

But now, an ordinary-looking boy casually asked her for such a treasure. How could she not be furious?

"Kid, do you even know how much a King-level treasure is worth? How dare you spout nonsense here?"

Beside him, Fei Han's lips twitched slightly; he was almost amused by the situation.

Immediately, he took out two weapons from his storage ring, threw them on the ground, and said coldly, "If you know what's good for you, take these and disappear immediately!"

Li Wudao glanced at it and was stunned.

The two weapons on the ground, one a high-grade Yellow Rank and the other a low-grade Black Rank...

No, are you trying to send money away to a beggar?

Seeing that he remained silent, Fei Han frowned, unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Add another Earth-rank cultivation technique, and we'll be even. Let's not cause any more trouble in the future!"

Suddenly, Luo Xinrou stood up, casually tossing aside a yellowed book, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Take your things and leave!"

The atmosphere fell into dead silence.

Li Jing and Luo Tongguang looked at each other, their expressions somewhat unpleasant.

The former is anger, the latter is shame.

Looking at Gallen Lo, he leaned back in his chair, chin in hand, his expression full of mockery as he looked at Li Wudao. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pick it up."

The mocking tone was laced with sarcasm, showing absolutely no remorse.

"Shut up!"

Luo Tongguang couldn't help but stand up and angrily rebuke, feeling a burning pain on his old face.

He had intended to take this opportunity to thank Li Wudao and express his apologies, but he never expected it to turn out like this, which was a slap in the face to him!

"Grandpa, don't worry about this. I'll handle it."

Luo Xinrou stood in front of Luo Jialiang, a calm smile on her lips.

"Xinrou, you... how did you become like this too..."

Luo Tongguang's old face froze, and he slumped into his chair, heartbroken and listless.

He was a filial and upright man throughout his life, and he never imagined that his descendants would be such ungrateful and treacherous people.

Luo Xinrou ignored the old man's emotions, instead staring intently at the leisurely sitting Li Wudao. Her brow furrowed, and she said:

"What, isn't this enough? Your appetite is far too big..."

Facing his aggressive gaze, Li Wudao seemed to ignore it, sitting quietly and slowly raising his wine glass to drink it down.

Throughout the entire process, he remained calm and composed, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

"Click!"

Li Wudao put down his wine cup, stood up, smiled faintly at Luo Tongguang, and said quietly, "Thank you for the treat. The wine was good... but the man was a bit lacking."

With that, he gestured for Li Jing to prepare to leave.

Luo Tongguang's old face changed several times, filled with shame and regret, and he sighed sadly.

"Stop right there! What do you mean...? Explain yourself clearly!"

Seeing Li Wudao preparing to leave, Luo Xinrou's pretty face turned somewhat ugly.

"The literal meaning."

Li Wudao shrugged.

Reaching the doorway, he seemed to pause slightly, as if remembering something. He turned to look at the weapons and martial arts manuals on the ground and sneered:

"You two should keep these junk safe; you might be able to sell them for a good price later."

Luo Xinrou and Fei Han's faces immediately turned ashen.

Just as they were about to make their move, Luo Tongguang stepped in front of them, saying sorrowfully, "Xinrou, do you have even the slightest bit of decency or shame left in your heart?"

"Do they have to drive their benefactor to his death before they'll stop?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xinrou's expression changed slightly, and she clenched her slender hands tightly. She could only watch helplessly as Li Wudao's figure disappeared from sight.

"What goes around comes around. If you do too many treacherous things, you will be punished sooner or later!"

Seeing the resentment on the woman's face, Luo Tongguang's old eyes filled with tears, and he said hoarsely, "Xinrou, let's stop here. Don't make any more mistakes."

After saying this, he sighed deeply, hunched over, and staggered away.

"Sis, that bastard looked down on you so much, are you just going to let it go like this?"

No sooner had the old man left than Gallen Lo couldn't resist stirring up trouble.

"This time, considering that he helped you and Grandpa, we will let it go."

Luo Xinrou took a deep breath, her eyes sharpening, and coldly snorted, "However... if we meet again, I won't be so lenient. He'll have to pay the price!"

"Junior sister, instead of getting angry with such an insignificant character, why not discuss tomorrow's auction?"

Fei Han gently waved his folding fan, his tone tinged with mystery, "The Imperial Treasure Pavilion has been preparing for this auction for over ten years, and I've heard that it contains many rare treasures that are seldom seen in the secular world."

Luo Xinrou nodded slightly, "Senior Brother Fei is absolutely right. My master also told me not to miss the auction at the Imperial Treasure Pavilion of the Great Yu Dynasty. I think there will be some unexpected gains."

"Sis, you're not talking about that 'Imperial Treasure Pavilion' that's supposedly the number one pavilion in the world, are you?"

Seeing the two nod and smile, Gallen Lo's breathing quickened a little as he said, "Could you take me with you tomorrow? I've never seen what the Number One Pavilion in the World looks like. I've heard that those qualified to enter are either rich or noble, and I'd like to broaden my horizons."

"of course can."

..............

"Kid, you can tolerate this? If it were me, I'd beat the crap out of him!"

On the street, the green-haired turtle was panting heavily.

If Li Wudao hadn't repeatedly warned it not to act recklessly without his permission, it would have already bitten those three annoying guys to death.

Being stuck in a corner, unable to sit at the table to eat, and having to listen to the other person's ridicule is just too frustrating.

"A reckless man."

Li Wudao shook his head and chuckled.

Admittedly, Luo Xinrou and Luo Jialiang, the siblings, are somewhat ungrateful, but the old man Luo is a very good person, and there's nothing wrong with him.

If he were to give those two a good beating over this, not only would it seem petty, but it would also put Old Man Luo in a dilemma.

He never hesitates to be generous in trivial matters.

"Cut~"

The green-haired turtle was somewhat indignant, glaring at the sky with its eyes wide open and nostrils flared.

Looking at the endless stream of soldiers on the street, Li Wudao frowned slightly and immediately contacted several true disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

Given the current situation, it is not a good thing for Li Jing to stay in the capital. It would be better to send someone to secretly escort him away, so that he can act freely and avoid being timid.

After dealing with the situation, he found an inn to rest and think about his next move in dealing with the demons.

However, he had only been lying in bed for a short time.

Then there was a knocking sound at the door.

"Little Blackie, open the door."

Li Wudao was too lazy to get out of bed, so he ordered the green-haired tortoise, which was on the ground consuming pills, to wake up.

"Don't you have legs? I'm not going!"

The green-haired turtle chewed on a pill and spoke in a muffled voice.

But then Li Wudao lay on the bed, his arms wrapped around his head, his eyes narrowed, and said in a low voice, "So, you don't want the Taiyin Lotus anymore?"

"Nima@%"

Touched on his sore spot, the green-haired turtle immediately stood up cursing and angrily went to open the door.

"Squeak-"

The people outside were somewhat taken aback when they saw that it was a tortoise that opened the door.

"Cousin, are you asleep?"

Hearing the familiar, crisp sound, Li Wudao sat up and looked over, his expression somewhat strange.

At the door, Li Nanzhi, accompanied by two attendants, brought Li Jianyuan in, bound hand and foot.
