Chapter 287: Chapter 286, Don’t Make Me Choose, I Want All the Beauties

Xu Wendong let out a cold laugh, "What goes around comes around. You know very well if you’ve wronged me."

"When did I ever wrong you?" Zheng Yun was a bit confused.

Apart from saying over the phone with his daughter that Xu Wendong was no good, he hadn’t done anything to offend or badmouth Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong snorted, "Didn’t I save your daughter?"

"Weren’t those fruits from Qingshan Village sold through my connections?"

"Wasn’t it through my arrangements that Qingshan Village managed to lease out ten thousand acres of land?"

"People often say to put yourself in others’ shoes."

"I don’t expect you to remember my good deeds, but you don’t have to slander me behind my back, do you?"

"You are ungrateful even before the job is done. Don’t you think you’re being too much?"

"Since we are not on the same path, there’s no need to work together." With that, he turned angrily and went into the room.

Su Li quickly followed him in, whispering, "Wendong, what’s really going on? Why are you acting like this?"

She couldn’t bear the thought of Xu Wendong moving out.

Because with Xu Wendong here, it was like they were living together, and they could shamelessly do those things.

To her, who had just discovered the joys of womanhood, it was something she greatly looked forward to.

"Secretary Su, I just can’t stand certain people’s hypocritical faces, it’s no big deal." Xu Wendong was a man of clear-cut emotions, so since Zheng Yun didn’t appreciate him,

he didn’t need to stay under his roof.

After all, with a place as big as Qingshan Village, it wasn’t like there wasn’t anywhere for him to stay.

Of course,

there was another reason for moving out.

Living here would surely impact his happy personal life.

After all, he had two confidantes in the village, and it would definitely be inconvenient for them to come looking for him.

On the contrary, if he moved out,

he could also look after Su Li

as well as Zhao Ranran and Wang Feifei.

To put it plainly, Xu Wendong wasn’t about to give up a whole forest for Su Li alone.

After all, he was already an adult.

In an adult’s world, there are no choices. He wanted them all!

After leaving Zheng Yun’s place with his suitcase, Xu Wendong headed straight for Wang San’s home. Although the house was quite shabby, someone had died there, and it didn’t even have a yard wall,

to him, it was a good place to stay.

Meanwhile,

he posted a message in the Qingshan Village group chat to inform everyone that he had moved to Wang San’s home and that if any villagers felt unwell, they could come see him there for treatment.

After sending the message, Xu Wendong carried two bottles of liquor to Elder Qin’s home.

At that time, Elder Qin was sitting by the traditional stove, feeding the firewood, and the pot was letting off bubbling sounds and the aroma of fish.

Seeing Xu Wendong appear,

Elder Qin, whose face was full of wrinkles, couldn’t hide his nervousness, "How went your trip to the provincial capital?"

Xu Wendong lifted the pot lid, glanced at the fragrant grass carp and vermicelli stew inside, and said with a smile, "Grass carp stewed with vermicelli, this is quite a dish! If I had known your meals were this good, I wouldn’t have eaten instant noodles before."

"However, this won’t stop me from having another meal."

"Here, thirty-year-old Maotai."

"Good liquor deserves good food," he said, handing over the two bottles of Maotai he had acquired from Club Number Three to Elder Qin.

"Then tonight we should have a good drink, not stopping until we’re drunk!" Elder Qin laughed heartily. Although Xu Wendong hadn’t yet mentioned what he had gained from his trip to the provincial capital,

he already had an answer.

Moments later,

Xu Wendong dished up the grass carp and vermicelli stew from the pot, and the two sat in the courtyard, enjoying the delicious meal and fine liquor under the kerosene lamp.

"Even though you’ve been away for fifty years, there are still people in the Life-Seeking Sect who firmly believe that you’re alive." Xu Wendong suddenly spoke, "And they all miss you very much."

A hint of guilt flashed in Elder Qin’s eyes, "I’m gratified that they remember me, but I’ve failed them!"

Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask, "Elder, what exactly happened fifty years ago?"

Even though Elder Qin’s story had become a thing of the past, Xu Wendong, as the current Sect Leader of the Life-Seizing Sect, needed to know certain things.

Elder Qin asked, "Do you know the Gu Sect?"

Xu Wendong replied, "During my trip to the provincial capital, I heard about the existence of The Outer Eight Sects."

He had been puzzled about why his ring had an ’eight’ character in seal script. It wasn’t until he learned about the Outer Eight Sects that he understood the reason behind it.

The Life-Seeking Sect ranked eighth among The Outer Eight Sects.

Elder Qin drank gloomily, "The Outer Eight Sects have carried on for more than two thousand years. Although they are eight different Jianghu forces, they are exceptionally united. It’s because they supported each other that they have lasted until now."

"The Outer Eight Sects belong to the Jianghu forces. Their heritage’s primary principle is straightforward; aside from abiding by each sect’s rules, the most critical thing is not to interfere in power struggles. Do you understand?"

Xu Wendong: "At any time, in any era, anyone who meddles in power struggles pays a heavy price. The Outer Eight Sects don’t interfere; it’s a wise way to safeguard themselves."

Elder Qin: "Indeed, The Outer Eight Sects have survived trapped in the current of time. Although they haven’t achieved greatness, they’ve stayed intact."

"But..."

"A hundred years ago, when the invaders came, the people suffered. Some within the Gu Sect defected to their side."

"Once the invaders learned of the influence of The Outer Eight Sects, they wanted to coerce them into serving their purposes."

"They wanted to leverage the power of The Outer Eight Sects to quickly fulfill their ambitions."

At this, he let out a cold laugh, his face filled with hatred, "Ha!"

"Throughout numerous dynasties, countless emperors attempted to subjugate The Outer Eight Sects, offering generous conditions, yet none of our ancestors ever acquiesced."

"How then could we possibly side with invaders from an Island Country?"

"The Outer Eight Sects collectively rejected the olive branch extended by the invaders."

"But in doing so, they faced unprecedented persecution."

"Luckily, after thousands of years, The Outer Eight Sects managed to maneuver against and evade the invaders, surviving this near-catastrophic ordeal."

"It wasn’t until the invaders surrendered that The Outer Eight Sects could finally breathe."

"Coincidentally, I had just become the Sect Leader of Life-Seeking Sect, feeling ambitious and arrogant, thinking to slay the Gu Sect traitors to clean house for The Outer Eight Sects and establish my position."

"So, against everyone’s dissent, I went to confront the Gu Sect defectors."

"But in the end, I was no match for them and wound up gravely injured, wandering to Qingshan Village."

Xu Wendong finally understood why a big shot like Elder Qin was living in such an obscure little mountain village.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "Elder, is the Gu Sect traitor you mentioned by the name Yue Qian Mountain?"

Elder Qin gasped, "How do you know that name?"
