" The Wasteland of Withered Bones has been rather restless lately. Although the Great Liang has many experts, there are also many powerful demons causing trouble within the Great Liang. Several villages were massacred some time ago, and we still don't know whether it was the work of the Demonic Dao path or those demons."
"You don't have any deep-seated hatred for the Great Liang. We joined forces before, so I'm at ease."
Gu Yu is quite the expert!
Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately glanced at Gu Yu. For the Princess to personally come and win someone over, the other party's strength must be considerable, perhaps even that of Nascent Soul expert?
Good heavens, is this some kind of monster that's lived for hundreds of years?
Su Mu muttered to himself.
Gu Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment. The High Antiquity ruins were full of treasures, but also full of dangers.
He felt it was dangerous to go in alone. If he joined forces with the princess, although a lot of the treasures would be taken away, they would also be much safer.
Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, then surprisingly took out a tortoise shell.
"Allow me to calculate your fortune."
Does Gu Yu also know divination?
Su Mu immediately became interested and stared intently.
Without Gu Yu making many moves, he tossed the tortoise shell into the air, and it began to spin on its own, with some ancient characters on it starting to glow.
Once it landed, there were only a few lit characters on the tortoise shell, characters that Su Mu couldn't understand.
"This is very auspicious!"
The eldest princess, being quite perceptive, immediately relaxed upon seeing this.
Gu Yu looked at the divination result and nodded slightly. "It's very auspicious, but there's something strange about it."
As he spoke, he made a hand seal, as if he were calculating something.
"The auspicious location is due south, and the Jing Gate is in a yin position, signifying ghosts and the loss of loved ones."
At this point, Gu Yu paused, then immediately looked up at Su Mu.
"Your position is due south."
Su Mu was stunned and hadn't reacted yet, but the Princess was the first to react.
"You mean he's the lucky one for this operation?"
The eldest princess was stunned. She really couldn't think of any way Su Mu could help with this operation at the ruins.
Gu Yu, on the contrary, smiled and said, "That's right. Judging from this divination, if we can bring him along this time, the operation will definitely go very smoothly."
Great luck!
Ever since she learned this divination technique, she has often had minor good fortune, but she has never had a major good fortune.
This time, I'm determined to bring Su Mu in with me no matter what.
The eldest princess, however, suddenly perked up.
"Therefore, we need to discuss the distribution of profits this time. I'll take seven and you three!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu frowned. "What did you say? You actually want seven when the strengths are almost equal?"
"Don't forget, he's the key figure in this operation; he's one of my men. Therefore, it's not unreasonable for me to take seven!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess lazily replied, as if she had the other party completely under her thumb.
Gu Yu took a deep breath as she listened, secretly realizing that she had miscalculated and shouldn't have revealed the divination result directly.
"Hmph, the divination only indicates that if we join forces with him, then it will be extremely auspicious. How can it be auspicious if I don't join in!"
The princess raised an eyebrow as she listened. She didn't understand the other person's divination methods very well, so she couldn't tell whether what the other person said was true or false.
The negotiations have now reached a stalemate.
Su Mu listened to the heated argument between the two and spoke up weakly.
Could I have a sip of the soup?
Although it's somewhat dangerous to directly ask for something in front of two such powerful figures, if you don't want it, then you definitely won't get it.
The eldest princess rolled her eyes at Su Mu, "Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits!"
Upon hearing this, Su Mu was immediately relieved.
Xiao Wu had often told him before that the Princess liked to do things with a clear conscience, which was why Su Mu dared to speak up.
If it were any other cultivator, they'd better just keep quiet.
Cultivators are all ruthless beings who devour people without spitting out the bones; someone like the Eldest Princess is just a small minority.
Gu Yu and the eldest princess stared at each other, as if they were negotiating in this manner.
However, Su Mu wondered to himself, was Gu Yu openly eyeing the Princess's beauty?
After all, although the princess wore a veil, her eyes were absolutely beautiful!
It's probably because of his cultivation.
After Su Mu cultivated on Earth, his eyes became much more beautiful, and his entire demeanor changed, becoming somewhat ethereal and otherworldly.
This was also the reason why Wang Peng felt that Su Mu was different before.
"Fine, then let's give him 20%, and we'll each take 40%."
Gu Yu suddenly smiled and said something to the princess.
The princess's eyes flashed. "It seems he can play a significant role this time, which is why you're making such concessions to him."
Gu Yu listened and did not deny it.
The princess thought for a moment and then agreed. Since the other party had said so, it wouldn't hurt to agree.
Let's settle for 20% or 20%.
Consider it a way of making it up to Su Mu.
After the princess nodded in agreement, she gracefully departed.
Su Mu looked at Gu Yu with some wariness in his heart.
Unsolicited kindness is either a treacherous act or a theft!
This guy, is he plotting something?
Even if the demon king gave him some orders, it wouldn't warrant giving up benefits for himself in such a matter.
Or is this guy the Demon King?
Su Mu's eyes flickered. From the beginning, the other party had been dressed as a man, which made Su Mu completely overlook the possibility that the other party was a demon king.
But now that I think about it carefully, it does seem a little possible.
Most importantly, it is said that there are very few Nascent Soul experts, and the Demon King is definitely one of them.
Then where did this Nascent Soul expert in front of me come from?
"So, I managed to secure this 20% for you. How are you going to thank me?"
Gu Yu smiled broadly and said to Su Mu.
Su Mu felt helpless. Even though he knew the other party might have some ulterior motives, he had no way to resist or oppose them.
After all, the benefits they offered were simply too great!
"I am deeply grateful!"
Su Mu clasped his hands in a deep fist salute and said to Gu Yu with a serious expression.
Gu Yu nodded with a smile, and then didn't say anything more.
Some things, once said, are enough.
But Su Mu then began to struggle with his own thoughts. He still couldn't understand why bringing him along would bring good fortune.
If he goes in and can't help at all, he'll be too embarrassed to ask for any benefits!
While Su Mu was struggling with his decision, at that moment, a super-massive whirlwind was hurtling towards the coast of Huaxia.
This hurricane was so powerful that it brought various transportation routes, including airports and high-speed trains, to a standstill.
People at the grassroots level had already made preparations for disaster relief, but they still felt uncertain as the typhoon approached.
This typhoon is huge!
Judging from the recommendations, this book has flopped yet again.
(The author is internally cursing)
Just between us, does anyone actually read this book? It seems the author has quietly abandoned it?!
Sigh, let me just vent a little. If it flopped, it's just because the author didn't write well; there's no other reason.
