Chapter 4114 You Kneel Down and Say It

These odds and ends were just things we picked up on the spur of the moment. Whether we make a little more or a little less money is none of our business, as long as they pay us as soon as possible.

After Sister Hua and A Duo finished counting the treasures, they called a car and took all the treasures we had acquired away. They told us to wait here for a few days, as Wan Luozong was having some trouble with such a large sum of money.

"No rush, no rush. We have nothing else to do anyway, Sister Hua can take care of it for us. We also need to brew the leaves of the Zhaoyao Wood tomorrow," the slovenly Taoist said with a smile.

At that moment, I was thinking that it was fortunate that Li Chao and Master Zhiqing had returned to Longhu Mountain early, otherwise, I would definitely have had to share some of the money with them.

In this way, we received much less.

However, given the personalities of Master Zhiqing and Li Chao, they definitely wouldn't want it; they were already very happy to have obtained the Zhaoyao Wood.

That said, I risked my life to get that swaying wood.

Now that I'm back in our world, I suddenly think of the prince again.

We were able to escape from the Fire Domain and flee to the Netherworld thanks to the Prince. Anyone with eyes could see that the Prince deliberately let us go. Those two Dukes of Protectorate are not stupid; they might go back and complain to the King of Piercing Chest Kingdom. If that happens, the Prince will probably be punished.

To be honest, we are very grateful to the prince. If he is punished because of us, we will feel very indebted.

Although the prince said he was fine, something must have happened. I hope the prince is alright, but we can't go back to see him.

With nothing much to do in the evening, everyone gathered together. Uncle Hu cooked some of his signature dishes, and we drank together again.

During the meal and drinks, Eighth Master was also there. He was very interested in our trip to the Fire Domain, so we told him in detail about what we had encountered there.

The slovenly Taoist priest embellished the story, making it sound incredibly mysterious, which left Eighth Master completely bewildered.

After we all finished talking, Eighth Master sighed, "I didn't expect that fire domain to be so dangerous. Luckily, Old Zhang was shrewd enough to trick you guys into going there. Otherwise, those two hotheads would definitely not have been able to get the Zhaoyao Wood back, and they would have lost their lives."

Good heavens, I knew it was Old Zhang who set a trap for us, deliberately tricking us into going there.

These old foxes are truly beyond words.

At this moment, we were completely relaxed. We drank for most of the night, and everyone except Yuan Kong was completely drunk.

After sleeping until the afternoon, Eighth Master ordered the leaves of the Zhaoyao wood to be boiled in the large pot that Uncle Hu used for cooking.

We boiled two large pots of the mixture according to a certain ratio, filled hundreds of packaging bags, and each of us received ten packaging bags.

Even the leaves that the slovenly Taoist priest brought were not wasted; they were all boiled together.

If you suffer a very serious injury in the future, you only need to drink one packet, and you will recover completely in less than half an hour. Moreover, it can also improve your cultivation level. This kind of good thing is really hard to find even with a lantern.

It took two days to boil the leaves of those swaying trees.

It was a week later when Sister Hua settled our bill. She gave each of us a bank card with 1.5 million yuan in each card.

Sister Hua was very thoughtful and arranged everything for us.

See, this is why the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish; the more dangerous the job, the higher the profit.

However, this kind of work is not something that just anyone can do. Take the five kingdoms of the Fire Domain, for example; any one of them could be deadly.

Everyone was naturally very happy after receiving their share of the money.

Zhang Qing'an, in particular, even kissed the bank card: "This deal was a great success, a real steal, Xiao Jie. If you need any more jobs like this in the future, remember to call me. You can skip the Special Investigations Team's jobs."

“Senior Zhang, that won’t do. You’ll have to do all the work from now on, otherwise I won’t let you make big money.” I said with a smile.

"You little rascal, you're really good at scheming. I've already encountered two of Bai Mile's clones. If I die, how am I going to spend all the money I've earned?" Zhang Qing'an shook his head helplessly.

We were chatting here when suddenly a person walked towards the courtyard, coughing as he walked.

Hearing the noise, we all looked up, and what we saw startled us.

Because the person who came was none other than my master, Li Xuantong.

When we saw him arrive at the courtyard house, we were all dumbfounded.

I rubbed my eyes, wondering if I was seeing things. Something was wrong. Didn't the old man say he wouldn't be back for another six months? It's only been a little over a week, how come he's back already?

Old Li coughed repeatedly, his face pale, as if he were injured.

It wasn't until Old Li was almost beside us that I realized what was happening. I quickly went to meet him and took my master's arm, saying, "Master, didn't you say you wouldn't be back for another six months? Why are you back so soon?"

"What, you don't want Master to come back?" Old Li looked up at me.

"How could that be, Master? Of course I want you back. You don't look well. Are you injured?" I asked with a worried expression.

"Yes, he's injured," Master sighed.

Just then, laughter came from not far away. I saw Grandpa Zhang standing on the wall again, and Uncle Ba was standing on Grandpa Zhang's shoulders.

"Old Li is back," Grandpa Zhang asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm back. I need to take care of some family matters first, then I'll come over for a drink with you guys later," Old Li said as he walked towards the living room.

"Xiao Jie, come in, I have something to tell you." Old Li waved his hand at me.

I became increasingly curious about what Old Li was really up to.

Then I followed Old Li into the living room. When I went in, Old Li was already sitting in a chair. With a wave of his hand, he closed the door.

As soon as he sat down, Old Li took off his shoes and started picking at his toes. A strong smell of rotten salted fish wafted up and stung his eyes.

"My good disciple, I have something to ask of you. Kneel down and speak." Old Li waved his hand at me.

I was taken aback and suddenly panicked. Every time Old Li called me his good apprentice, it was never a good thing.

So, I walked nervously to his side and knelt down: "Master, we are like family, why are you asking me for anything? Just tell me what you need."

Old Li chuckled and suddenly said, "Do you know how your master got injured?"
