Chapter 1272 Borrowing the Thunder Boat
"Junior Nephew Xu, how have you been?"
Xiao Changsheng greeted him with a smile.
So many people greeted Xiao Changsheng, but he only approached Xu Changshou.
Lin Xueyi and the others were not surprised, after all, Xu Changshou's strength was obvious to everyone.
Back in the Thunder God Realm, only Xu Changshou could outperform Xiao Changsheng in every aspect.
"Yes, Uncle Xiao, it's been a long time!"
Xu Changshou forced a smile and had no choice but to greet Xiao Changsheng.
Xu Changshou wanted to leave Xiao Changsheng after just one more word, but Xiao Changsheng didn't give him the chance. He grabbed Xu Changshou's sleeve with a smile and said to Lin Xueyi and the others, "Everyone, I don't understand why someone as outstanding as Junior Nephew Xu would become a menial servant in the Sima Bureau?"
Lin Xueyi replied with a smile, "With Junior Brother Xu's qualifications, he really shouldn't be doing menial tasks."
Yang Yanjing said, "Yes, with Junior Brother Xu's cultivation speed, he shouldn't have been sent to the Sima Bureau. I really don't know what the people from Zuofu Peak were thinking back then."
Xiao Changsheng laughed and said, "Do you think it's possible that Xu Changshou was given a hard time when he first entered the family?"
"possible!"
"Uncle Xiao is right."
"This is not impossible!"
Everyone nodded.
Xu Changshou smiled obsequiously on the surface, but he was very uneasy inside, wondering what kind of trouble Xiao Changsheng was up to.
After glancing at Xu Changshou, Xiao Changsheng said solemnly, "Xu Changshou, I formally invite you to cultivate at my master's dojo. I guarantee that you will be ten times better here than you are in Sima Jian."
"no, I'm fine!"
Xu Changshou quickly shook his head and said, "I'm used to the Sima Supervisory Office, and I really don't feel comfortable in a different place."
This Xiao Changsheng is indeed up to no good; he actually wants to bring me to his side. This is absolutely unacceptable.
"Senior Sister Hua!"
Xiao Changsheng looked at Hua San Niang and smiled, "It's alright, Senior Sister Hua is right here. If you want to leave Sima Jian, all you need to do is give Senior Sister Hua a word."
"Senior Sister Hua, I want Xu Changshou to cultivate with me, what do you think..."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Changsheng directly asked Hua San Niang for people, so Xu Changshou quickly winked at Hua San Niang, signaling her not to agree.
Hua San Niang knew that Xu Changshou was an extraordinary person, so she naturally dared not disobey him. She smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xiao, Xu Changshou is the best horse trainer in our Sima Bureau. Our Sima Bureau cannot do without Xu Changshou."
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Changsheng's expression darkened, and he said unhappily, "Senior Sister Hua, he's just a menial servant, can't you even give him this much face?"
Hua San Niang said with a wry smile, "Junior Brother Xiao, our Sima Bureau really can't do without Xu Changshou, so please don't make things difficult for me."
Although Hua San Niang was not afraid of Xiao Changsheng, she dared not offend him, after all, his master was Venerable Wanyan.
She was just an ordinary Mahayana cultivator, so naturally she wouldn't dare offend the Venerable One.
“What if I insist on having him today!” Xiao Changsheng stepped forward and said forcefully.
"This……"
Hua San Niang hesitated, torn between Xu Changshou and Xiao Changsheng. She weighed her options, deciding who she couldn't afford to offend.
"Hahaha!"
Venerable Wanyan walked over laughing and said, "Junior Sister Hua, she's just a servant. Give her some face."
Venerable Guye seemed to see Xu Changshou's predicament. He stepped forward and blocked Hua Sanniang's way, saying, "If you want menial tasks, you can go to Zuofu Peak. Why make things difficult for Junior Sister Hua?"
Seeing Venerable Guye's obstruction, Venerable Wanyan's face flashed with amusement, and he laughed, "Junior Brother Guye, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you say?"
Guye responded sharply.
"OK OK!"
Venerable Honglian walked over and stood side by side with Venerable Guye, smiling as she said, "Wanyan, today is a joyous day for your disciple, so it's best to avoid any unpleasant incidents. Although Xu Changshou is a menial servant, he's not to be trifled with. Have you forgotten what Uncle Zhu said back then?"
Honglian's words made her stance clear.
Venerable Honglian still held considerable sway. As soon as he spoke, Venerable Wanyan ceased his objections and laughed, "Of course, of course. My dojo has no shortage of servants."
Seeing that Venerable Wanyan had backed down, Xu Changshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Hua San Niang really gave him to Xiao Changsheng and his apprentice, Xu Changshou was certain that he wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.
Xiao Changsheng glanced at Xu Changshou and spoke again, "Xu Changshou, I have a small request that I need your help with."
"Forehead……"
Xu Changshou's face darkened, and he said helplessly, "Uncle Xiao, please tell me what you need. I will do my best to help."
Xiao Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "I would like to borrow the Thunder Boat for a short time. I will definitely return it within a hundred years."
"That's...okay!"
Helpless, Xu Changshou took out the Thunder Boat and handed it to Xiao Changsheng.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Changsheng said sincerely, "I will definitely repay you within a hundred years."
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Xu Changshou nodded slightly and said no more.
With so many people watching, Xiao Changsheng certainly won't refuse to pay.
Although the Thunder Boat is a treasure, it is not as precious as one's own life. If it is not lent to him, he might take advantage of the situation and cause some trouble.
After borrowing the Thunder Boat, Xiao Changsheng stopped making things difficult for Xu Changshou, and Xu Changshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the fight just now was bloodless, it was extremely dangerous.
Xu Changshou had anticipated this long ago.
However, he still had a trump card up his sleeve. He wasn't afraid of Xiao Changsheng in the Donghua Immortal Sect. At worst, he would reveal his identity. After all, he was Lei Zu's disciple and a high-ranking member of the Donghua Immortal Sect. He couldn't just stand by and watch Xiao Changsheng bully Lei Zu's disciple; he wasn't qualified.
The problem is, once I leave the Donghua Immortal Sect, I won't be safe. If Xiao Changsheng follows me and tries to kill me, that would be troublesome.
Back at his dojo, Xu Changshou decided not to go out.
If he doesn't go out, he can't do missions, and without missions, he won't earn merits, making it even more difficult for him to break through to the Mahayana realm in a short time.
His basic salary was only five merit points per hundred years, plus the commission for training horses, which amounted to about seven merit points per hundred years.
At this point, Xu Changshou needs at least one hundred merit points.
The gap is too large. If he doesn't complete the mission, he will have to endure for over a thousand years to break through to the Mahayana realm.
If it's been over a thousand years, Xiao Changsheng will have more time to deal with me.
Of course, he can also go out to do missions, which will allow him to break through to the Mahayana realm faster and sooner. As long as he can break through to the Mahayana realm, all these crises will be resolved.
However, if you go out on a mission, it would be dangerous if Xiao Changsheng spotted you.
Next, Xu Changshou continued his cultivation. Without the Void Spirit Pill, his cultivation speed was as slow as a tortoise crawling.
Decades passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Changshou felt that his cultivation was the same as if he hadn't cultivated at all; he had made almost no progress.
"Senior Brother Changshou, my master is looking for you. Please come with me."
Xu Ye's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
