Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 811 - 464: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

At some point, Lei Chuyu, with a pale face, was already standing at the entrance of the cave.

He naturally doesn't have the habit of eavesdropping; although this young master has some arrogance and lack of awareness of the vastness of the world, he isn't too bad in terms of character. And the last few words Jiang Feng said were naturally not meant to be secret, directly reaching Lei Chuyu's ears as he was sitting and healing.

Taking a few steps forward willingly, his pale face clearly indicating a bad state, but now that his junior brothers have awakened, he was able to sit for a short while to recuperate.

"Sorry to intrude."

Sitting face to face with Jiang Feng.

With a solemn expression and serious demeanor, the two young men in front of each other were very young. Lei Chuyu reached the Nascent Soul realm before the age of thirty, while Jiang Feng was in his early twenties, already at the Middle Grade Core Formation. These two young disciples are the future leaders of their sects.

This meeting had the posture of a discussion among sect elders, with both parties exchanging glances. Despite Lei Chuyu's current embarrassment, his bearing hadn't diminished, motioning for an invitation.

"Brother Lei, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't we join hands, how about it?"

Directly stating the purpose.

Although Jiang Feng doesn't boast a high cultivation in this group, he is absolutely the spokesperson of the team and the sole decision-maker. Qingluan intentionally follows Jiang Feng into the Old Capital, as her personality is rather dependent, and Cen Yueyue certainly wouldn't question her man's actions.

Initiatively issuing an invitation, the two sides are now in a situation where they need each other; saving others is also saving themselves. They have no way to handle the Water Monkey alone, but if nine people band together, the last residual soul of the Hou Clan Leader certainly couldn't withstand.

"Join hands..."

Didn't immediately agree.

At such a time, he must consider the intentions of the other party; debts of gratitude are debts of gratitude. If he is asked to help or repay a favor alone, Lei Chuyu naturally wouldn't refuse; rather, he is happy to see such a scenario.

After all, repaying gratitude is the most important, and once paid off clearly, everyone would owe nothing.

But if it involves the distribution of interests, it must involve the sect; he must be cautious in discussing with the other party since neither hold grudges against the other, and a win-win situation is naturally good.

"What concerns do you have, Brother Lei? Are you worried we might hold you back?"

"It's not that."

Shaking his head.

"Currently, my brothers and I are all injured. According to Mr. Jiang's earlier words, after a day of cultivation, it's feared that only thirty to fifty percent of our strength could be restored. At that time, amongst the battles, likely, only I could participate." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Secondly, if it's just asking me to aid in slaying that Water Monkey, naturally, I wouldn't refuse, as it injured my junior brothers first; even if you didn't ask, I wouldn't let it go. But since Mr. Jiang mentioned reporting to the sect."

"I fear I would have to thick-skinnedly request some items to appease the elder at home."

Spoken rather tactfully.

But the meaning is clear enough. If you just privately ask me to help, I am willing to repay the help. But if you mention the sect and this large group of us, then there's no way; we have to shamelessly divide some benefits because we are already heavily injured, especially my junior brothers.

Once we make a move, our physical condition would worsen; we certainly can't go home empty-handed and face reprimands with so many of us.

"Hahaha, Brother Lei spoke bluntly; rest assured, this cooperation is naturally about mutually dividing benefits, as was clear just now: the Water Monkey is mine, and the Ancient Strange Beast is yours."

"Since we are discussing cooperation, I will be straightforward; Divine Thunder Valley sent you here not solely for us but also aimed at the opportunities and heavenly materials and treasures in this area; otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted the Dragon Fish's attention."

Immediately showing an embarrassed expression.

Yes, it was due to their greed, picking up too much Blood Ganoderma that attracted Kui Ying's attention; what Jiang Feng said was right, not just to capture people but also for experience, improving realms, witnessing, and acquiring more opportunities.

Regarding Jiang Feng, it's the simplest for Lei Chuyu; returning to the sect could well be saying, "The Sword Immortal Disciple indeed has a justified reputation. Despite our brothers' fierce battle, he still escaped, unable to bring him in for justice," at most being told words like "useless" and "keep practicing."

But spending time, having the elder intervene, and letting you go to such a treasure land to strike gold, then returning empty-handed and your junior brothers heavily injured, beaten down to death, no one could shamelessly return like this.

Since Jiang Feng openly pointed it out, he didn't need to hide but confessed openly.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's distribute reasonably."

"Old Dongyue is fraught with danger but brimming with heavenly materials and treasures everywhere, including many martial arts fragments and residual souls left by predecessors."

"Of course, Brother Lei might not be very interested in these, as you have your sect's secret technique. But beside me is a disciple from Dongyue, Miss She, sent by her family to recover these fragments to the greatest extent, preventing them from falling into outsiders' hands."
