But this is not a good thing for the Jiao tribe, and for Mingzhou.

"Qiu Zuo, you are really a lost star. You have offended fellow Taoists from the Jiao tribe as soon as you came here. What do you want to do to make Mingzhou lose our current opportunity?"

Just as he was thinking about this, there was a sound of footsteps in front of him, followed by a scolding voice.

Qin Cheng didn't need to raise his head to know this voice was that annoying Elder Cui.

"Elder Cui, are you the one who decides on the contract with the Jiao Clan?"

Qin Cheng looked at Elder Cui and Gu Shuyan walking over and said coldly.

This guy was on the Star Peak before, eating everything he could and contacting the Jiao Clan, but he still hasn't changed his ways here.

"So what if it's me?" Elder Cui snorted coldly.

"Why, do you still want to overturn my decision?"

"So what if it's overthrown?" Qin Cheng said.

"Hahaha."

Elder Cui raised his chin and couldn't help laughing, with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Qiu Zuo, please wake up. This is not the top of Xingfeng Peak, and you no longer have the qualifications to drive me down. Don't forget, I am an elder in Mingzhou, and you are not even the number one genius. I made the decision

, only the palace master has the qualifications to overthrow, what qualifications do you have to say this."

"Moreover, my contract guarantees the best interests of Mingzhou. I am truly considering Mingzhou."

"You let the monks from Mingzhou enter the palace one stick of incense later than the monks from the Jiao tribe. Is that a good thing?" Qin Cheng said.

"Of course, although it is later than the Jiao Clan monks, it is earlier than other monks." Elder Cui said matter-of-factly.

"And this palace is just a facade. Everyone can see that the really valuable area is the underground palace below him. How much can these Jiao clan monks explore in one stick of incense?"

"As long as we don't compete with the Jiao tribe, as long as we win Shenmu Prefecture, we will be second."

"When I have the opportunity to be first, I don't fight for it, but I fight for second place. I'm really wise." Qin Cheng said.

"Haha, Qiu Zuo, don't think that this matter is because I have my own way. Elder Jing also agrees with me, because this is a good decision for us."

"This matter cannot be changed. Don't make any unnecessary attempts, otherwise I will never let you go.".br

"Jingyu, please have a good talk with this kid again."

Having said this, Elder Cui walked out proudly.

At this time, he had the upper hand and finally regained his face because Qin Cheng had caused him to make a fool of himself at Star Peak.

"Elder Jing, you also agreed?"

Qin Cheng was a little surprised and turned to look at Jing Yu who looked a little stiff.

"When I came, Elder Cui had already discussed it with the Jiao clan, and I thought it was feasible, so I didn't say anything." Elder Jing said awkwardly.

"But you didn't refuse. You think what Elder Cui did was right." Qin Cheng shook his head.

Unexpectedly, this time Elder Jing also thought Elder Cui was right.

"Friend Qiu, to be honest, I think it is indeed the case."

Elder Jing looked at Qin Cheng complicatedly.

Until now, I still don’t know Qin Cheng’s real name or even surname.

"Although we have ceded benefits to the Jiao Clan, as Elder Cui said, we do have some advantages over others, and if chaos breaks out, we may not be able to have such conditions."

"Then have you ever thought that when monks fight, life and death can happen in an instant. If you give up a stick of incense, most of the resources may fall into the hands of the Jiao Clan?"

"Have you ever thought that if you wait for Xuezhou to arrive here, the strength of the three of you can completely surpass the Jiao Clan. Do you still need to lag behind others to enter?" Qin Cheng asked in return.

"But that would be too dangerous."

Elder Jing was speechless for a moment and moved his lips.

"I understand. I actually know how to choose, but you don't want to offend the Jiao Clan."

Qin Cheng suddenly understood something.

"Yes, I don't want to fight with the Jiao Clan.

enemy."

After holding it in for a long time, Elder Jing let out a long sigh.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you are very strong. You have talents that I have never seen before, and you also have the confidence to fight against the Jiao Clan. But our Mingzhou force is weak and we are no match for the Jiao Clan. We cannot... we cannot accompany you to take risks."

Elder Jing's expression at this time became a little strange.

Qin Cheng took a deep breath and understood instantly.

He couldn't tell what emotion was reverberating in his heart.

Disappointment, helplessness, understanding, or all of it.

The ultimate reason is that I am not Qiu Zuo or a monk from Mingzhou. I just needed an identity before, so I just borrowed Qiu Zuo's name.

Although both parties cooperated very well and abided by the agreement.

But, what is false is not true after all.

Elder Jing keeps all this in mind. He is always worried that he will harm Mingzhou's interests, and that after Qincheng breaks up with the Jiao clan, Mingzhou will be affected.

After all, he is only a monk in Mingzhou in name only.

Elder Jing regards Mingzhou's future as more important than his life.

However, I have never thought of using Mingzhou, Zheng Ling and others like this. How could I regard them as pawns?

There is always a barrier between two people that cannot be broken.

"Fellow Taoist, Elder Cui is actually right when he says that the time of a stick of incense passes quickly. Even you, there is no need to get into a quarrel with the other party over this."

Seeing that Qin Cheng was silent, knowing that he might have said the wrong thing, Elder Jing persuaded him again.

Qin Cheng shook his head. He said nothing more because it was meaningless.

"Qiu Zuo, Elder Jing has already finished talking to you. I remember that your formation is quite strong, but this formation still needs to be strengthened. You can go with fellow Taoist Jiao tribe members."

At this moment, Elder Cui came back and ordered Qin Cheng with a cold face.

"You're such a lucky kid. I've already finished negotiating the contract, so you just need to put in a little effort to enjoy the benefits." After Elder Cui finished speaking, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Reinforce the formation and enjoy the results?"

Qin Cheng chuckled.

I think this self-defeating formation is ridiculous. I wish I could just destroy it, but you asked me to reinforce it.

After reinforcement, will it increase the guarantee for the Jiao clan to obtain mystical skills?

"Sorry, I promised before that I would give an explanation to Xuezhou and other casual cultivators outside."

After finishing speaking, Qin Chengli ignored the other party and walked straight out of the formation.

"You bastard, I order you to go immediately."

Elder Cui was slightly angry and immediately followed him.

Elder Jing's heart suddenly jumped. He had a premonition of something and followed him.

Qin Cheng quickly walked out of the formation, and Qin Xue and others looked over instantly.

Everyone is waiting for Qin Cheng's response.

"Qiu Zuo, you should be able to tell the difference between closeness and distance now."

The white-haired old man of the Jiao tribe glanced at Qin Cheng calmly.

"Since you are a monk in Mingzhou, you must obey Mingzhou's decision. We, the Jiao Clan, are the ones joining forces, and those who want to break in are your enemies." The white-haired old man said.
