This was the third time that Xu Que had come to the Jade Lake, and the treatment he received had changed greatly.

In the beginning, he was nearly unable to enter this land’s great gate, but the second time, when he came back from the ancient battlefield, he was treated as a noble guest.

This time, however, Xu Que wasn’t treated just as a noble guest, but as a mighty senior and a great almighty being. Even Bai Cailing spoke respectfully to Xu Que, let alone the other disciples of the Jade Lake.

Even though Xu Que found this odd, he still didn’t reveal his true identity, nor did he ask Bai Cailing to stop acting like this.

Xu Que was clearly aware of what was happening, and he enjoyed it greatly. He seldom had the chance to deceive and intimidate people, so why should he reveal the truth? In any case, his life had always been like this. If he could make a living through deception, wasn’t he also a sort of winner?

After all, it wasn’t easy to make a living through deception without hurting anyone.

Of course, the people who had offended him were obviously an exception and hurting them was often his goal. It wasn’t just these people who were harmed, as their families were also fair game.

Xu Que had never treated his enemies kindly!

“Elder Xu, you are worn out from your travels, you should rest properly. If you need anything, just let me know.”

After they returned to the Jade Lake, Bai Cailing had arranged a residence for Xu Que’s group, and now she spoke to Xu Que with a smile.

She had already decided to stay on Xu Que’s side in his conflict with the Sage Sect. Her intuition told her clearly that this old man was outstanding. She believed that he wouldn’t make a mistake and that he was a turning point that would help the Jade Lake become powerful once again.

“Daughter-in-law, you don’t have to be so polite, we are family,” Xu Que waved his hand and spoke with a smile.

“That is right, we are family,” Liu Jingning, who was standing in the back, wore a fake smile as she spoke suddenly.

Xu Que felt his scalp turn numb, while the corners of his mouth twitched. “Why did he always feel like this demoness was concocting a ploy?”

Bai Cailing found herself in a predicament. As a matter of fact, she didn’t believe that she was a part of this old man’s family. After all, her impression of Xu Que was still limited to what she had seen previously in the Refined Moon Palace. She didn’t hate him, but she also didn’t have a favorable impression of him. She just felt that he was an interesting man!

But she had underestimated Xu Que’s shamelessness, as he unexpectedly added another condition on the certificate of indebtedness and turned it into a marriage contract. This was why the Jade Lake had ended up interacting with Elder Xu so many times.

Moreover, she had explained repeatedly that the marriage contract was just a misunderstanding.

But Xu Que didn’t want to give up on such an amusing matter, and he continued exploiting his father’s identity and playing dumb. This was why Bai Cailing couldn’t deny the marriage contract, yet she also couldn’t recognize it. She ended up in an awkward position!

“In fact, you have come so suddenly, so please forgive us if we didn’t receive you well. You can properly rest now, and I won’t disturb you.” In the end, Bai Cailing chose to take her leave. She felt like the situation would only become more awkward if she stayed.

This was especially the case since she had guessed previously that the relationship between Liu Jingning and Elder Xu wasn’t simple. As Bai Cailing stood here, she felt that the more Elder Xu treated her cordially, the more Liu Jingning’s expression turned odd.

This was why she chose to quickly leave and not wade into this muddy water.

However, it was foreordained that Bai Cailing wouldn’t manage to leave. Xu Que had come here just to greet them in passing, since his true objective was snatching the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines from the Divine Farmer Clan.

This was why Xu Que wanted to make more inquiries about the Divine Farmer Clan’s situation.

“My daughter-in-law, please wait, I still have something to ask you,” Xu Que stopped Bai Cailing and questioned her with a smile.

Bai Cailing was scared by his smiling look, and she broke out into a cold sweat. She asked, “What...what is the matter?”

She was done for. If Elder Xu really had a special fetish and was fond of assaulting his daughters-in-law, what should she do? If she had to face such a matter, she didn’t know what she would do.

In a split second, many thoughts ran across Bai Cailing’s mind, and a nervous look appeared on her face.

When Xu Que saw Bai Cailing’s expression, he chuckled inwardly.

“Ah, women!

“Even though I have turned into an old man, I’m still so handsome, charming, and graceful. You have become so nervous just become of a simple smile, haven’t you?”

Xu Que spoke, “To be honest with you, I have come here to look for the Divine Farmer Clan and get more Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines from them. Do you think that they will give them to me? If they don’t want to do so, what do you think I should do?” As Xu Que spoke, his smile became wider.

Bai Cailing became more nervous, and she felt that Elder Xu was a queer old man with a special fetish. She really wished to beat him to death!

Bai Cailing moved back a step and forced herself to smile. She said, “Elder Xu, I don’t recommend you go to the Divine Farmer Clan.”

“Huh? Why? Aren’t you confident in me?” As Xu Que spoke, he raised his arm and stove to squeeze out a muscle. He was trying to show off in front of Bai Cailing!

Bai Cailing didn’t even bother casting a glance at him, and she replied, “The Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines are objects essential for the Divine Farmer Clan to keep its great power, and they have already suffered a grave loss when they gave you 200 vines. If you drop in to ask for more, you will force their hands, and some trouble may occur.”

Bai Cailing strove hard to speak tactfully, when what she wanted to express was that a cornered beast would attempt anything. She wanted to ask Xu Que to not force those people’s hands.

“Huh? What are you saying? Do you think I’m afraid of trouble? I have to inform you truthfully that I’m in urgent need of Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines, and the more I have of them the better. Even if the Divine Farmer Clan doesn’t want to give them, they still have to do so. It’s all because they offended me previously.” Xu Que still wore a smile.

Xu Que didn’t sympathize with the Divine Farmer Clan, as anyone had to pay an adequate price for arrogant actions.

In the past, if Xu Que hadn’t killed Yi Zhong and Yi Dan, he would have died. This was how the world worked, and experts were always revered and esteemed.

“Elder Xu, you have misunderstood me. I know that you need Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines, but...you should employ another method, avoiding direct conflict with the Divine Farmer Clan. I know how you can get more Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines in this way,” Bai Cailing hesitated slightly, before she spoke.

Xu Que was taken aback. “What method?”

Bai Cailing pursed her lips and spoke softly, “I...I am fairly certain I know where the Divine Farmer Clan has planted the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines.”

“What?” Buttface and Duan Jiude opened their eyes wide and cried out involuntarily.

The reason why the Divine Farmer Clan had managed to develop well and become so strong wasn’t just because they possessed many recipes for elixirs and pill-refining skills. It was mainly due to the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines, and the Divine Farmer Clan always kept the location of the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines’ farmland a secret. No one had ever managed to find it.

But now, Bai Cailing had unexpectedly stated that she knew where it was. This was why Buttface and Duan Jiude had become quite excited.

Finding the farmland was better than going to the Divine Farmer Clan’s land to steal. Moreover, they would get a larger amount of Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines in this way.
