The other elders either nodded in agreent or echoed in succession, none opposing, all expressing their approval.
Don't ntion not breaking rules; in fact, as long as they unanimously agree, there is no such thing as breaking rules here.
Elder Jin Guiqi, seeing this situation, sighed inwardly. With benefits and advantages at stake, and the opportunity to reap the rewards without effort, the outco was as such. This was what it ant to entice with profit.
In the history of the Divine Fire Covenant, he had never heard of anyone daring to target a group of sitting elders. He was now convinced and certain that this was not a strategy devised by Gu Lianni's disciples; those good disciples did not have such wild courage nor could they devise such a wild plan. It was definitely a suggestion from Shi Chun's group.
A group of foolish disciples, being used as pawns by others.
Actually, it wasn't just those disciples; he himself was also willingly being used as a pawn, because the outco was beneficial to them. Lured by profit, they were willing.
In another mountain peak, Lao Changtai, peering out of a spyhole, asked, "The Master's letter said to move as soon as we hear sothing stir. Why is there still no movent over there?"
Wu Jinliang said, "Just wait, what's the rush."
While speaking, he took out a piece of ice and breathed through it.
Fang Zicheng asked, "The Master's letter was vague, does that an one of the elders on the main peak will help us?"
Lao Changtai turned to look and said, "Do we even need to say it? It's most likely an elder from Shudao Mountain. Didn't Chu Jingtang and Chen Wuji say they've partnered with Shudao Mountain again?"
Chu Jingtang and Chen Wuji had already left, following Gu Lianni back.
Fang Zicheng, puzzled, said, "We're fine here, why squeeze over there?"
Wu Jinliang, observing from another spyhole, slowly said, "Do you think the Master wants to deal with this troubleso matter? The Master is doing this for our safety. Among the sects lured away by Qianyan Sect, so have informants hidden within. If we keep intercepting those lured-away sects, Qianyan Sect will eventually get wind of it and beco alert. I'm telling you, Qianyan Sect is no pushover."
Lao and Fang began to understand a little.
However, Lao Changtai was still sowhat worried, "Being too close to those elders, might we be discovered?"
Wu Jinliang said, "That's not for us to worry about. Whether we'll be discovered or not, and what kind of thods can be used to avoid our detection, are for that elder to consider. We just need to follow the arrangents provided and do our part. How to escort and protect us is their concern, so stop worrying needlessly."
"Indeed." Fang Zicheng muttered in agreent.
In a lake of molten lava deep within a chasm, a crimson fla erged, carried aloft by the disciples of Shudao Mountain. Soaring into the air and repeatedly stepping on the cliffside, he finally landed on the high bank, alongside Shi Chun and Yuan Yao, who was holding a Compass.
Soon after, another twelve people each carrying an iron tower flew up.
Another Divine Fire, everyone was invigorated.
The previous one was taken away by Pang Hou, luring the tiger from the mountain.
An Wuzhi and Zhu Xiangxin of the Mingshan Sect also eagerly watched the freshly erged Divine Fire, especially An Wuzhi, who surmised that, with two flas now, surely one should be allocated to their side.
The distribution thod later agreed upon between Shi Chun and Gu Lianni was still unknown to them.
A group of people collected their items and gathered together, then it was a waiting ga. They were waiting not only for Gu Lianni's return but also for the return of Tong Mingshan and others.
They didn't have to wait too long before seeing Gu Lianni arrive on the Wind Scale, carrying several people. While searching through the air, she was called down by the group below.
As she landed and retracted the Wind Scale, she nodded to Shi Chun and said, "The matter is settled."
It was an expected outco, and there should have been no surprises. Shi Chun nodded and smiled, "You've worked hard, young lady."
Gu Lianni gave him a white glance, incongruously renad for no good reason, sowhat unclassifiable, but she didn't make too much fuss over it, as Shi Chun had explained that calling her 'Miss Gu' was a bit awkward.
Yuan Yao then took another Divine Fire from a fellow disciple, "Uncle Master, we just found another Chi Yan."
No reminder was necessary; Gu Lianni had already seen it, her eyes gleaming, and exclaid, "So quickly."
Yuan Yao said, "Pang Hou lured the tiger away from the mountain with one fla, didn't you et him on the way?"
"No, I didn't, perhaps we were too far apart to see." Gu Lianni shook her head and then turned to Shi Chun, asking, "Why did you have my people go again? Aren't you afraid of losing the Divine Fire?"
Shi Chun laughed and said, "To those who are capable, more work is given. And even if it is lost, it'll count towards Shudao Mountain's share since it's in Shudao Mountain's hands."
Actually, the point was to show the elder from Shudao Mountain the achievent and solidify the elder's determination to cooperate. Sufficient benefits could fulfill adequate needs.
Previously disheveled, Gu Lianni now tied her hair with both hands while snorting, "You really know how to calculate ticulously, never willing to suffer the smallest loss."
Her physique, along with her actions, emphasized her figure, where it should be majestic, it was truly majestic; where it should be slender, it was genuinely slender.
Shi Chun couldn't help but take a second look, and inadvertently mories of touching her in the darkness flashed in his mind, his smile taking on a sowhat amorous tint.
Damn it, Gu Lianni, with a casual glance, seed to have understood his thoughts, and then fiercely glared at him.
Well, occasionally this kind of tacit understanding really occurred, and Shi Chun seed to have understood her too. Clearing his throat, he said, "I'm not joking with you, our side's agreed share can be deferred. The Divine Fire that Pang Hou took should be given to you first; I give my word, and never deceive or break it."
