38: Decide

"Brother Zhang, I will go arrange it now."

After Luo Fei finished speaking, he turned and left Zhang Qingxiao's home to arrange for his subordinates to gather information.

That evening, Yu Yan knocked on Zhang Qingxiao's door again.

This time, without waiting for Zhang Qingxiao to ask, Yu Yan took the initiative to reveal her identity.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, may I ask to come inside and sit for a while?"

"I have some important matters that I need to discuss with Fellow Daoist Zhang."

Seeing that Zhang Qingxiao still had his hands braced against the door, clearly having no intention of letting her enter the courtyard even after she revealed her identity, Yu Yan had no choice but to make the request herself.

She was an Outer Sect Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sect, and her purpose for sneaking into the Chang Sheng Sect this time was very clear.

It was to arrange for people to enter the Chang Sheng Sect in advance when the Sect attacked, to win over the Foundation Establishment Elder of the Chang Sheng Sect, and to transfer the resources of the Chang Sheng Sect.

When she arrived, she had already inquired about Zhang Qingxiao's background, which was why she lived next door to Zhang Qingxiao.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, please!"

Since the other party had already said so, Zhang Qingxiao could not refuse, so he brought Yu Yan into his home.

After sitting down, he asked with a smile: "I wonder what matter Fellow Daoist Yu has come to find me for?"

"I am just the most ordinary Utility Disciple of the Chang Sheng Sect, and I only wish to Cultivate peacefully."

Yu Yan did not believe Zhang Qingxiao's nonsense, and she calmly and unhurriedly stated her purpose for coming.

At the same time, she gave a promise that as long as Zhang Qingxiao was willing to help, regardless of success or failure, she could make him an Outer Sect Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sect.

At this moment, Zhang Qingxiao naturally would not give the other party any promises, so he could only laugh and say that he needed to consider it.

The two talked for a while without reaching any conclusion, so Yu Yan had to leave Zhang Qingxiao's home first.

After sending Yu Yan away, Zhang Qingxiao rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.

It was truly troublesome to try to stay out of this matter.

Unless he hid his identity, changed his appearance, and took his family to live in another area.

Doing so had advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that he would not have to participate in the matter of the Xiaoyao Sect, the Wind and Thunder Sect, and the Guiyuan Sect attacking the Chang Sheng Sect, so the danger would be smaller.

However, it could not be said that there was no danger at all.

The disadvantage was that he would have to abandon the agreement with Luo Fei and would no longer be able to receive the Spirit Stone that Luo Fei gave him every month.

"Let's wait for the news from Luo Fei's side first. If it really doesn't work, I can only choose to hide my identity."

Zhang Qingxiao pondered for a long time, still unable to make up his mind.

The main reason was that the interests involved were too great.

Luo Fei could now give him more than one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones every month.

He could also quickly help him sell Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and Yao Beast meat, which was also a significant income.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would certainly not give up these benefits.

The next day, Yu Yan came again to persuade him and offered better conditions.

Zhang Qingxiao continued to stall, did not give any promises, and was very polite to Yu Yan.

Until the third night, Luo Fei appeared at Zhang Qingxiao's home and told Zhang Qingxiao in detail about the news he had gathered over these few days.

According to reports from his subordinates, this time the Xiaoyao Sect, the Wind and Thunder Sect, and the Guiyuan Sect had sent many Disciples to mix into the Utility Disciples of the Chang Sheng Sect.

Among them, the Disciples sent by the Xiaoyao Sect were the most numerous and the strongest, and they had already won over the leaders of several regional forces.

Next was the Wind and Thunder Sect, while the Guiyuan Sect had sent the fewest Disciples.

Among the three Sects, the Xiaoyao Sect had the strongest strength, and the Golden Core Old Ancestor in the Sect was also the youngest.

Just one hundred years old, he had already broken through to the Fifth Level of the Golden Core Stage.

Judging from all aspects, the Xiaoyao Sect attached the most importance to attacking the Chang Sheng Sect.

It was very likely that after taking down the Chang Sheng Sect, they would directly take over the territory of the Chang Sheng Sect.

"Luo Fei, is the information you obtained really reliable?"

After listening to Luo Fei's report, Zhang Qingxiao had a bottom line in his heart. If he had to make a choice, he would definitely choose the Xiaoyao Sect.

Strongest strength, and they valued the Chang Sheng Sect; it was highly probable that after attacking the Chang Sheng Sect, they would take over the territory of the Chang Sheng Sect.

Following such a Sect was the only way to last long.

He was already at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer and would soon be able to break through to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, so it was time to make some preparations for Foundation Establishment in the future.

It was just that he was still a bit uneasy about the authenticity of the news.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry. I have carefully confirmed it, and there is definitely no problem with the news."

Luo Fei knew the importance of the matter, and only after confirming repeatedly that the news was accurate did he come to find Zhang Qingxiao.

"Since that is the case, then you set a time. I want to meet with the Disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect and have a good talk."

Zhang Qingxiao pondered for a moment and made a decision.

If he couldn't get the answer he wanted from the Xiaoyao Sect, then he would immediately take Zhou Yun, Liang Qiaoer, and Zhou Quan and hide for the time being.

After this matter passed, they would talk about it then.

Without the income from Luo Fei, with his abilities, he could still earn quite a lot of Spirit Stones in a month, and ensuring his life and cultivation would still not be a problem.

"Okay, I will go arrange it now."

"When I met with the Xiaoyao Sect Disciples last time, the other party wanted to see Brother Zhang, but I refused."

"Knowing that Brother Zhang is willing to meet, he will definitely attach great importance to it."

The heart that Luo Fei had been hanging finally relaxed.

Ever since he learned about the situation of the Xiaoyao Sect, the Wind and Thunder Sect, and the Guiyuan Sect, he had been inclined to join the Xiaoyao Sect.

However, before Zhang Qingxiao expressed his stance, he could not make a decision rashly.

Luo Fei's efficiency was very fast. That evening, when he returned, he handled the matters Zhang Qingxiao had entrusted to him.

After setting the time and place for the meeting with the Xiaoyao Sect Disciples, he personally came to pick up Zhang Qingxiao.

The place for this meeting was arranged at Luo Fei's home, which was quite convenient.

After Zhang Qingxiao met with the Xiaoyao Sect Disciples, they chatted politely for a while before both sides got to the main point.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this time our Xiaoyao Sect is determined to win the Chang Sheng Sect."

"And we have already reached an agreement with the Wind and Thunder Sect and the Guiyuan Sect."

"After attacking the Chang Sheng Sect, the Sect of the Chang Sheng Sect will belong to our Xiaoyao Sect."

"The Wind and Thunder Sect and the Guiyuan Sect will divide up all the resources within the Chang Sheng Sect after attacking the Chang Sheng Sect."

"If Fellow Daoist Zhang can help contact the Foundation Establishment Elder of the Chang Sheng Sect and transfer a portion of the resources in advance, that would naturally be the best."

After the Xiaoyao Sect Disciple Sun Yao reached a consensus with Zhang Qingxiao on certain matters, he explained their purpose to Zhang Qingxiao clearly.

"I will try my best regarding this matter, but as for whether it can succeed in the end, I cannot guarantee it."

"Fellow Daoist Sun, I presume you also know that a Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sect lives next door to my house, and she has also been trying to win me over."

"I am just an ordinary Utility Disciple, and it is not easy for me to refuse directly, so I have to ask Fellow Daoist Sun to help me handle this matter."

Zhang Qingxiao did not know any Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so naturally, he would not give the other party any promises.

And he did not want to offend Yu Yan, so he could only ask Sun Yao to step in and solve it for him.

"It is enough that Fellow Daoist Zhang tries his best. As for Fellow Daoist Yu, I will go talk to her personally."

Sun Yao was very happy to have won over Zhang Qingxiao, and for such a small matter, he would naturally not refuse.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Sun for your understanding."

"If there is anything in the future, just contact Fellow Daoist Luo at any time. I need to go into secluded meditation to break through my Realm recently, so please forgive me."

Although Zhang Qingxiao had agreed to join the Xiaoyao Sect, before the matter was clear, he did not want to get too deeply involved.

Letting Luo Fei stand in front could provide a buffer for things he did not want to do.
