Chapter 952: Chapter 952

Under Chu Batian’s surveillance, the group entered the villa and sat down in the living room.

As soon as they sat down, Yao Buji awkwardly asked Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli for some food.

The kind-hearted Liu Mengting quickly asked the servants to bring food from the kitchen, and as a result, Yao Buji and Liu Bi devoured it ravenously like they hadn’t eaten for days.

"Wow, I finally found someone who can eat more than Brother Tang Ming."

Li Xiaoli exclaimed as she watched the two of them gobble down like starving wolves.

"It’s a pity, being hungry during the New Year."

Liu Mengting sympathized deeply.

"Slow down, nobody’s fighting you for the food. Eating like wolves, where’s the grace of masters?"

Tang Ming looked at Yao Buji and Liu Bi speechlessly.

Hearing this, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli almost fainted. Tang Ming, that glutton, talking about others when he eats like there’s no tomorrow.

"We haven’t eaten in four days, we’re starving."

Yao Buji replied while stuffing his mouth.

"Any water? We’ve been eating nothing but ice and snow, haven’t had water in ages."

Liu Bi looked at Liu Mengting pitifully.

"Oh, yes, yes, we do."

Liu Mengting hurriedly asked someone to provide water.

"Thanks, miss, you’re such a kind person. No wonder Old Yao is always thinking of you."

After drinking, Liu Bi complimented with a flattering face.

"You scoundrel, this old rogue is still dreaming, no more food for you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoli exploded and snatched all the food back from the table.

"Yeah, no more food for you, Uncle Quan, take it away."

Liu Mengting was also displeased and shouted with a stern face.

"Don’t, at least leave me a bun."

Yao Buji cried out desperately.

Unfortunately, the two girls were truly angry, and Uncle Quan quickly took away all the food with the servants.

"Alright, alright, you’ve eaten enough. Stop acting like it’s your last meal. Let’s talk business first, then you can find a place to eat more."

Tang Ming ordered impatiently.

"Ahem, thank you for the hospitality. Once we reclaim Flowing Cloud Sect, I, as the Sect Master, will repay you double."

After eating, Liu Bi immediately regained his demeanor as a Sect Master, sitting grandiosely on the sofa with an imposing presence.

"Ahem, how can you still brag in such a state?"

Li Xiaoli scoffed and said with disdain, "Finish eating and hurry out. We don’t welcome schemers in our house."

"No, no, I was naive before, but I assure you I won’t have unrealistic ideas about you two ladies again."

Yao Buji immediately promised. He no longer had any capability in that regard, and needing their help, he naturally wouldn’t dare have any improper thoughts.

"So, what’s actually going on with you?"

Tang Ming stopped Li Xiaoli from further antics and questioned in confusion.

"Ah, we let the wolf in."

Yao Buji sighed, grinding his teeth as he cursed, "Qin Aotian and his two sons are ungrateful wolves. We kindly took them in and taught them the Supreme Cultivation Technique, yet they repaid kindness with betrayal. After gaining strength, they turned against Flowing Cloud Sect."

Tang Ming’s expression changed slightly, and he asked quickly, "The Qin family has been hiding in Flowing Cloud Sect all along?"

Then Yao Buji recounted the incident with the Qin family.

Initially, Liu Bi only wanted the Qin family to test the power of the Chrysanthemum Treasure Book, so he let the three eunuchs stay in Flowing Cloud Sect. However, with observation over time, it seemed the Qin family’s cultivation hadn’t significantly improved, leading them to lower their guard. Apart from a few who delivered meals, others had almost forgotten the trio.

No one expected the Qin family had been hiding their strength. A few days ago, they suddenly attacked, wreaking havoc in Flowing Cloud Sect. Those who yielded survived, those who resisted perished, and within a day, they controlled Flowing Cloud Sect.

Faced with the Qin family’s sudden rise, Yao Buji and Liu Bi became captives. It was only a few days ago that they managed to escape through a secret passage, pursued the whole way. Finally, Yao Buji thought of Tang Ming, the Qin family’s sworn enemy.

It seemed the Qin family hadn’t yet taken revenge on Tang Ming, and since Tang Ming had many masters under him, they had no choice but to seek his protection to survive.

Yao Buji had often visited the Liu villa, knowing that by finding Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, they could definitely find Tang Ming, so they went straight to the villa.

"So you’re here to seek refuge and join me!"

Tang Ming suddenly realized, finally understanding why the Qin trio had become so strong. It was the Flowing Cloud Sect’s doing this whole time.

This Flowing Cloud Sect is interesting, definitely a case of letting the wolf in and playing with fire.

Learning that the Chrysanthemum Treasure Book, which the Qin family trained, had the same requirements and consequences as Chen Cang’s Yin Yang Holy Method, he finally realized why the Qin family’s martial arts felt familiar that day. It was indeed the Yin Yang Holy Method Chen Cang trained!

"Ahem, please don’t look down on us . We came to discuss cooperation, not seek refuge with you."

Liu Bi corrected earnestly.

"Cooperate? I thought you came to be my subordinates. Turns out you want to cooperate? How exactly do you plan to cooperate?"

Tang Ming frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Hmph, I’m the Sect Master of Flowing Cloud Sect. No matter what, I can’t fall so low as to be your underlings."

Liu Bi snorted arrogantly, saying, "The reason we’re here is because Yao Buji said you’re powerful, so I want to cooperate with you. You help us reclaim Flowing Cloud Sect, and once successful, Flowing Cloud Sect can offer you a wealth of cultivation resources and money. From then on, we’ll become allies. How about it?"

"Haha, no thanks. I neither lack money nor resources, no need to cooperate with you."

Tang Ming sneered, "I’m no fool. Helping you reclaim Flowing Cloud Sect would require great effort from my side, totally unworthy. Unless you pledge loyalty to me as my subordinates, I’m not interested in meddling."

"Outrageous! I’m the Sect Master of Flowing Cloud Sect, degrading myself to be a subordinate to someone with an Urban System, it’s laughable you even thought about it."

Hearing this, Liu Bi flared up in anger.

"Ugh, even as a homeless dog, still so arrogant, you really live up to your name!"

Li Xiaoli couldn’t stand it and mocked disdainfully.

Being mocked by a little girl, Liu Bi felt embarrassed and was about to explode.
