Chapter 2, Am I a Fraud?

You want to extract a tooth from a tiger's mouth, provoking the Jinwu Sect! I dare not do that. I will be living in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains for a long time to come. If I offend the Jinwu Sect, I will have no peace again

What must you do to gain my trust? Zhang Zhengdao asked eagerly

I learned that Princess Youyue fled to the Great Mountains, so I pursued her. A few days ago, I found traces of their last battle in a valley. Following the clues, I tracked them to Zhuxian Town, where I happened to capture a member of the Nie family who was on his way to report to the Jinwu Sect. From him, I learned that the Nie family did not originally know Princess Youyue. They coincidentally encountered her group, and it was one of Princess Youyue's subordinates who accidentally revealed their identities. Upon learning this, the head of the Nie family quickly devised a plan, first deceiving Princess Youyue and her companions to gain their trust, then poisoning them, ultimately killing two of Princess Youyue's subordinates and capturing her! Now, we are just waiting to report to the Jinwu Sect to claim our reward! Although I intercepted one member of the Nie family, there are still three others heading to the Jinwu Sect via three different routes. In at most half a month, the Jinwu Sect will send someone!

Nie Tianba will definitely hide Princess Youyue very securely, as he is the type who does not act until he sees the rabbit! It will be difficult to rescue Princess Youyue from his hands

No, Brother Wang, haven't you always wanted to join the Heavenly Wolf Sect? The Heavenly Wolf Sect is also a top-tier immortal sect in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. As long as you rescue Princess Youyue and bring her to the Heavenly Wolf Sect, they will definitely accept you as a disciple! I guarantee it! This way, you can fulfill your wish!

Then, can you help me find out where Princess Youyue is being held? I will dig a tunnel to rescue her!" Zhang Zhengdao said eagerly

Wang Ke squinted at Zhang Zhengdao, as if to say that today, the arrangement of financial products was just beginning to sweep through the major towns, but he was waiting to take charge of the situation. How could he find time to make money elsewhere

"Brother Wang, do you have a way to seize Princess Youyue from Nie Tianba's hands?" Zhang Zhengdao asked eagerly

Wang Ke's expression was stern: "Take care, no need to see you off"

Rest assured! Wang Ke tucked the folding fan into his sleeve

Wang Ke squinted at Zhang Zhengdao and said, "Zhang Zhengdao, did you choose to save Princess Youyue yourself, and now you want to drag me into this?"

Wang Keru looked at Zhang Zhengdao as if he were a fool, asking, "Are you crazy? You want me to be enemies with the Immortal Sect? And it's the powerful Jinwu Sect at that?"

The bounty notice issued by the 'Golden Crow Sect' of the Immortal Gate states that whoever captures a person named Princess Youyue will be promised five slots for disciples to enter the Golden Crow Sect

Wang Ke's expression darkened: "You want me to capture someone whom the Jinwu Sect cannot? Do you have any idea how many spirit stones I deal with in a day? I have no time to waste! Moreover, is there not a powerful guardian beside Princess Youyue? Have you investigated this thoroughly? In the vast expanse of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, it's like searching for a needle in the ocean, and it is fraught with uncertainty! If this is all you mean by a big task, then let's not discuss it further! When immortals clash, I have no desire to get involved"

Princess Youyue was actually captured by someone yesterday" Zhang Zhengdao explained

As he spoke, Wang Ke handed the cup of tea that his subordinate had just presented to him to Zhang Zhengdao

It is true that Princess Youyue has another identity, which no one knows about except for me! Once we rescue Princess Youyue and escort her to the Tianlang Sect, confirming her other identity, the Tianlang Sect will protect her. However, time is running out, and I won't be able to go to the Tianlang Sect to seek reinforcements. I can only trouble you for help!

Indeed, indeed!" Zhang Zhengdao immediately nodded vigorously

"Change again? You wouldn't find someone to impersonate Princess Youyue and then deceive the Tianlang Sect, would you?" Zhang Zhengdao said, looking utterly bewildered

"In your eyes, am I just a big liar?" Wang Ke said with a dark expression

This folding fan in your hand, is it not your lifeline? Last time, you risked your life for that fan; you said it yourself, this fan is your lifeline

"It is impossible for others, but Brother Wang, you will definitely succeed!" Zhang Zhengdao said eagerly

The folding fan was pitch black; even when opened, it merely revealed a layer of black mist, obscuring its true nature. However, Zhang Zhengdao clutched the folding fan with an expression of deep reluctance

How? Don't you believe it?

Brother Wang, do you still not believe me? How about I take a solemn oath?

"Pledge your life and your essence to me. If you deceive me, I will destroy it!" Wang Ke said in a deep voice

Have you heard of the 'Golden Crow Sect Bounty' ? Zhang Zhengdao asked

Zhang Zhengdao was also taken aback as he received the teacup that only contained tea dregs

The Heavenly Wolf Sect will be grateful to me for saving Princess Youyue, and then will make an exception to accept me as a disciple of the Heavenly Wolf Sect?" Wang Ke looked towards Zhang Zhengdao

Wang Ke appeared unwilling to believe on the surface, yet his heart was stirred. This was because the Tianlang Sect possessed something that Wang Ke urgently needed. Wang Ke was also eager to become a disciple of the Tianlang Sect. Now that Zhang Zhengdao had mentioned this possibility, how could Wang Ke remain indifferent? He was merely concerned that Zhang Zhengdao might be trying to deceive him with this.

Zhang Zhengdao intends to rescue Princess Youyue, and Wang Ke now also wishes to save Princess Youyue, as this is his only opportunity to enter the Tianlang Sect

Wang Keyi took it and said: "If you didn't deceive me, you will return hetushu.com to you at that time!"

Do not rush, let me think, let me think! Wang Ke furrowed his brows in contemplation

Wang Ke's pupils suddenly constricted, and then he began to laugh: "Brother Zhang, come, come, sit down, sit down! Haha, today is truly a good day. Tell me, what is the situation?"

In the grand hall, Wang Ke paced back and forth, pondering for quite some time, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Big deal? How much can you give me? Just tell me!" Wang Ke immediately spoke up.

"Nie family? But that is the foremost cultivation family in Zhuxian Town! The head of the family, Nie Tianba, is an old fox! It is simply impossible to rescue Princess Youyue from his hands!" Wang Ke said with a frown

Wang Ke looked utterly unconvinced

"I have already told you, Nie Tianba is an old fox. Before meeting the disciples of the Jinwu Sect, would he reveal the location where Princess Youyue is being held? Such a significant matter, and I had no prior information about it. It is evident that Nie Tianba is concealing the news, not telling anyone! He wants to quietly amass wealth!" Wang Ke said, squinting his eyes.

Wang Ke, are you really that ruthless? I am the sole heir of nine generations, and I haven't even left a successor for my family yet. Are you trying to ruin me?" Zhang Zhengdao immediately covered his lower body, frightened and retreating repeatedly

Ah? How could this be!" Zhang Zhengdao was suddenly at a loss for words

Wang Ke was extremely excited at this moment, not because of the folding fan, but because of Zhang Zhengdao's earlier words: as long as he saved that Princess Youyue, he could enter the Tianlang Sect. This was his long-held aspiration for the past ten years. Only by going to the Tianlang Sect could he address the misfortunes that plagued him.

Zhang Zhengdao, amidst his confusion, exhibited a strong sense of determination and nodded slightly

Zhang Zhengdao looked at the folding fan with reluctance and nodded: "Alright, alright, just don't lose it for me!"

"Pah!" Wang Ke immediately expressed disdain.

Wang Ke : `` ! ''

You should have said so earlier, you scared me to death! A folding fan? This folding fan! Zhang Zhengdao looked at the black folding fan in his hand with a reluctant expression

You know, I spend as much as I have; there is no extra money!

What should I do? My life is entirely in your hands; you cannot just stand by and watch me die! If Princess Youyue were to die, my superiors would certainly take my life in return. Brother Wang, considering the benefits I've brought you over the years by helping you dig up the ancestral graves of cultivators, you must help me!

"Nonsense, if the Tianlang Sect cared about Princess Youyue, how could they possibly tolerate the Jinwu Sect issuing a bounty to capture her? Are you insulting my intelligence?" Wang Ke said disdainfully

What is it that I have been thinking about? Wang Ke asked in confusion

Money? No money!" Zhang Zhengdao immediately spread his hands

Wang Ke shook his head: "Rob? It's impossible to rob! However, I can create another Princess Youyue!"

Only Zhang Zhengdao, among those Wang knows, can be so shamelessly self-satisfied, even speaking with such fervor!

Indeed, the person I previously captured who went to inform the Jinwu Sect is a trusted confidant of Nie Tianba. He does not know where Princess Youyue is being held

"No, I do not believe in promises! If promises were useful, those scumbags would have been struck by lightning countless times!" Wang Ke shook his head

"Yes, it is true that the head of the Nie family in Zhuxian Town, where you are located, has captured her. She is currently trapped somewhere in the Nie family estate. The Nie family has already sent someone to report to the Jinwu Sect, preparing to claim a reward. In about half a month, the Jinwu Sect will send someone to take away Princess Youyue! I came to Zhuxian Town specifically because of this matter, and it is truly a coincidence that I discovered you live here. This is wonderful! Brother Wang, this time, you must help me rescue Princess Youyue and Princess Tushu! I came to Zhuxian Town specifically because of this matter, and it is truly a coincidence that I discovered you live here. This is wonderful! Brother Wang, this time, you must help me rescue Princess Youyue and Princess Tushu! No, you must join me in pulling off this big job!" Zhang Zhengdao said eagerly.

Alright, I believe your words now. Please tell me the specific situation regarding Princess Youyue! How did you obtain this information? Furthermore, the Jinwu Sect issued a bounty notice, but there is no portrait of Princess Youyue! How did the Nie family confirm this?

Yes, it is this bounty order, issued by the Golden Crow Sect! There are five slots available for entering the Golden Crow Sect! The Golden Crow Sect is a top-tier immortal sect in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, and a bounty issued by a top-tier sect! At this moment, every corner of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains is in an uproar. Don't you know? Haven't you thought about capturing Princess Youyue to claim the reward?

Brother Wang, there is a significant opportunity right now. Out of our many years of friendship, I have come to seek your partnership in making a fortune!

Wang Ke : `` ! ''

Wang Ke said with a dark expression: "Although my Wang family has settled in Zhuxian Town for ten years, we have done so purely as merchants. The strongest among the Wang family is me, and I am merely at the ordinary innate level! The Nie family has dozens of innate experts, and Nie Tianba reached the peak of the innate level thirty years ago; I cannot imagine how powerful he has become now! You want me to compete with him for people?"

"Caught it?" Wang Ke asked in surprise

Zhang Zhengdao indeed remained still, waiting for Wang Ke to ponder.

"No money? You come to me?" Wang Ke's eyes widened

Wang Ke immediately avoided Zhang Zhengdao's mournful expression

Aren't you looking for a powerful backer? It's the one you mentioned last time, that one!

"Don't! I didn't ask you to capture Princess Youyue; I meant to ask you to rescue Princess Youyue!" Zhang Zhengdao said anxiously

"Don't! Please listen to me. Although I have no money, I can help you fulfill the desires that you have been longing for!" Zhang Zhengdao said eagerly
