Chapter 137 Rejection

 So after knowing that Hunyuan Monkey was in trouble, Gu Qingxiu was the most distressed and she didn't know how many times she had cried secretly.

As long as there is a way to save it, she is willing to do anything!

Because time was too tight, she couldn't practice martial arts in advance like Yue Qi did. The only thing she could do was to wait until the spiritual fire was consumed and then pick up the leftovers. However, the danger she faced was actually extremely great.

She has poison in her body, which is enough to knock down the Yue family, but it is not fatal.

She didn't want to hurt them, she just wanted to grab the spiritual fire.

But even this failed.

Fortunately, although she did not get the spiritual fire, the people who got the spiritual fire seemed quite kind and there was room for negotiation.

So after thinking it over, she decided to lay her cards on the table and tell them everything she could about the Gu family's secrets. She would first appeal to their emotions and courtesy, and then offer a large reward, hoping that she might be able to impress them.

"The spirit fire needs to be controlled. Jiuwei is young, so I'm afraid she can't help you."

After hearing this, Liu Feng pondered for a moment and then directly refused.

The two Gu family members were horrified and said hurriedly, "Senior, we know this is a bit unreasonable, but this is our only chance! I can promise that as long as you are willing to help, no matter whether it can be done in the end... the conditions I promised will not change."

She thought Liu Feng refused because he was worried that Mo Jiuwei would fail and the spiritual fire would not be able to successfully eliminate the poisonous insect.

This was indeed the reason why Liu Feng refused, but it was not the biggest reason.

As long as Jiuwei is willing to help, there will be no problem in nine out of ten cases, and the monkey will most likely be rescued.

But the problem is that when gods fight, mortals suffer!

The sacred beast of the Gu family was tampered with without anyone noticing. Judging from Gu Qingxiu's tone, it was most likely done by the Geng family.

The Geng family is powerful and has a feud with the Gu family. The Gu family has poison skills and can fight the Geng family for thousands of years without a clear winner. But their Xianlai Sect is a small family, how can they hold out?

If they rescued the monkey but offended the Geng family, then they wouldn't be able to do anything to the Gu family, nor to the Xianlai Sect?

No matter how great the benefits offered by the Gu family were, they were not as important as their safety!

"Senior, please, the holy beast really can't hold on for a few more days... Just come with us to the Gu family and take a look at it..." Gu Qingxiu begged, her pretty face turned pale when she cried, and her concern for the Hunyuan Monkey was beyond words.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, have you approached the Geng family about this matter?" Chen Lan asked, "If they did it, then you should negotiate directly with the Geng family and give them some benefits. Who knows, they might be able to find a solution."

The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Since there is no other way, why not go directly to the person who started it?

Maybe the Geng family did this just to coerce the Gu family so that they can put forward conditions to suppress them.

Gu Qingxiu hummed, and mentioned the Geng family with suppressed anger, "We did look for them, but they denied that they did it. It shows that no matter what benefits we give up, they will not agree."

Yes, as long as the Gu family loses their sacred beast, it is only a matter of time before they are surpassed by the Geng family.

Maybe the Geng family didn't want any benefits at all, but they were targeting the entire Gu family! After

Mo Jiuwei was full, she leaned in Chen Lan's arms, half-closed her eyes and listened to them talk.

[Woo, I feel sleepy after eating. ]

[Senior Sister Chen Lan's body is so soft and fragrant. Sitting in her arms is more comfortable than lying on the bed.]

Chen Lan laughed, her face flushed a little. She reached out and touched Mo Jiuwei's head. She felt even more comfortable and wanted to sleep.

After a long time, Liu Feng also got to know her a lot.

Seeing that Mo Jiuwei did not make a clear statement, I knew that her attitude towards this matter was very casual, and it didn't matter whether she went or not.

In that case, I can make all the decisions.

"Besides, even if the Geng family wants to help, there is no other way." Gu Qingxiu shook her head helplessly, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, "Except for using spiritual fire, even the person who put the poison in the body cannot remove it without hurting the host."

Therefore, asking Mo Jiuwei for help is the only way.

Gu Mingyu pursed his lips, lifted his robe and knelt beside Gu Qingxiu, "Senior, please help our Gu family. Whether you need crystals or poison, or poison recipes and materials, we will agree!"

Seeing that Liu Feng was still resisting, Hu Jiu knew what he was thinking, so he sighed:

"It's not that we don't want to help. First of all, Junior Sister Jiuwei is really too young, and this is a new spiritual fire. How can she control it? Even if we agree, there is only a 30% chance of saving the sacred beast."

"Secondly, our Xianlai Sect is only a small sect with only a few of us in the entire sect. The conflict between your two families has been accumulating for a long time. If we intervene rashly, we will offend the other party!"

"So, for us, it's better to have less trouble than more. This is not a matter of how much benefit you give. No amount of money can compare to our peace. What do you think?"

In fact, if you don't consider other situations, Hu Jiu thinks it's okay to go.

He really wanted to see what the Hunyuan monkey, which had lived with humans for thousands of years, looked like.

And the Gu family has done their best for it.

To be honest, if it were any other family, who knows what life would be like for the Hunyuan Monkey! Most likely, he would be imprisoned and have his blood taken every day.

So just for this reason, it wouldn't hurt to help.

But we have to consider the reality!

"I promise that I will protect your safety! Regardless of whether the holy beast can recover or not, I will not let others know that the Xianlai Sect is involved in this matter!" said Gu Qingxiu.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Gu, let me ask you a question. What is your position in the Gu family?" Mu Xue laughed softly. "How many masters of the Gu family can you be?"

Gu Qingxiu pursed her lips and said, "I really don't have this identity, but since it involves the divine beast, my grandfather will definitely agree to do this! If you don't believe me, I can send a message and ask him to come here in person."

"No, the Gu family master has a high level of cultivation. If he comes, we won't dare to say anything." Hu Jiu smiled and waved his hand, then was about to stand up, "I think it's better to forget about this matter. Please go back."

What a joke! The most powerful cultivator in Xianlai Sect is Uncle Liu, and Uncle Liu is only in the Golden Core Stage!

If the Patriarch of the Gu Family comes, he can use force. How can they refuse then?

Liu Feng also nodded and prepared to get up and leave.

But Mo Jiuwei suddenly opened her eyes.

She was very sleepy and was about to take a nap, but she immediately woke up when she heard the words "Master Gu".

[Hmm? Gu Chen is coming? That's good news! ]

[He does have a really good thing that he can use as a trade.]

[Although the Gu family doesn't like dealing with outsiders and has a stubborn personality, they are trustworthy and keep their promises. Gu Chen will definitely not refuse.]
