Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

393 Must Earn It Back

To be honest, it was impossible for Dong Xi to set them free.

But seeing Songsong’s excited face, Dong Xi still found an excuse.

“Songsong, I can’t let him go,” said Dong Xi. “This guy has eaten a lot of my good stuff. I have to earn it back. Otherwise, I’ll lose too much.”

Songsong tilted her head and thought for a long time. She felt that Dong Xi was right.

However, when she saw the ugly guy who did not have any spiritual energy fluctuations, Songsong was still very puzzled. Songsong said, “But… Can this ugly guy really earn back the money he ate?”

“Don’t worry, it’ll definitely work!” Dong Xi nodded.

Rui Ming watched the two of them interact and then looked at the crowd. He was a little reserved.

This was also Rui Ming’s first time in a big city.

Perhaps he had been here before, but Rui Ming did not remember.

“Junior Sister Dong Xi, where are you meeting Senior Brother Tie Zhu?” asked Rui Ming.

“At the Ming Yang Teahouse on Wuji Street,” Dong Xi replied immediately.

This was not the first time Dong Xi had come here. In order to sell fur, Dong Xi visited every corner of the city.

The two of them walked straight to the teahouse. This was the first time Rui Ming had seen Tie Zhu, but he recognized him as soon as he entered.

This was because Tie Zhu was too eye-catching among a group of refined cultivators.

Other people had teacups in their hands, but Tie Zhu had a teacup.

It seemed that drinking from the tea bowl was not enough, so he picked up the teapot and started drinking.

After drinking the entire pot, Tie Zhu wiped the corner of his mouth and said, “It’s satisfying!”

“Junior Sister, is this Senior Brother Tie Zhu?” Rui Ming whispered.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Dong Xi nodded.

The two of them walked forward. Dong Xi said respectfully, “Senior Brother Tie Zhu.”

Tie Zhu turned around and saw Dong Xi. It was as if he had seen his family. Tie Zhu stood up and said, “Junior Sister, you guys are finally here. Hurry up and drink some tea.”

Tie Zhu picked up the teapot in his hand and prepared to pour tea for the two of them.

By the time Tie Zhu reacted, the teapot had already been emptied. He said, “I forgot. I finished it just now. It’s too hot. I couldn’t help it.”

“It’s alright, just one more pot will do,” Dong Xi also said with a smile.

Dong Xi raised her hand and called for the waiter. She added a pot of tea and sat opposite Tie Zhu.

“I missed you the last time we parted,” said Dong Xi. “It’s still fun to spar with Senior Brother.”

“Our sect’s body cultivators aren’t good enough.” Tie Zhu nodded. “We don’t even have an evenly matched opponent. It’s even more boring.”

“It’s fine. When I’m free in the future, I’ll have a good spar with my Senior Brother,” said Dong Xi.

As he spoke, Dong Xi pointed at Rui Ming and said, “Senior Brother, you can also spar with Senior Brother Rui Ming.”

Tie Zhu looked at Rui Ming and said in surprise, “This brother looks frail, but he’s actually a body cultivator?”

“I’m not considered a body cultivator,” said Rui Ming with a smile. “My physique is just a little stronger.”

When Tie Zhu heard this, he said, “Just having a sturdy body is not enough. I’m already at the fourth level of Body Refining Tier. Even your small body may not be able to withstand a punch.”

As Tie Zhu spoke, he seemed to have seen a flash in the eyes of his skinny Junior Brother. Tie Zhu did not think much of it and just took it that his Junior Brother was embarrassed.

Dong Xi shook her head helplessly and said meaningfully, “Senior Brother, if you have the chance, you’ll understand.”

Tie Zhu still wanted to ask Rui Ming about his current Body Refining Tier level, but the waiter just happened to bring the tea.

“Sir, this is the tea you ordered,” said the waiter.

Dong Xi poured tea for the three of them and started talking about the trip to the Void Sea.

“The Void Sea is at the northernmost part of the forest in Qinan City,” said Dong Xi. “There are many demon beasts in the forest. With our cultivation, it’s impossible for us to pass through the forest directly. It’s safer to take the teleportation array.”

Tie Zhu said, “Junior Sister is right. I heard that most cultivators in the Void Sea have water spirit roots. Junior Sister, you have fire spirit roots. You will be affected there.”

Dong Xi had already made preparations. Water and fire were incompatible. The cultivators of the Void Sea were all on islands where fire spiritual energy was scarce. If they really attacked, Dong Xi’s spell techniques would be greatly reduced.

However, so what? No matter what, Dong Xi was still a sword cultivator!

Before Dong Xi could speak, Rui Ming said, “Junior Sister, don’t be afraid. I can protect you.”

Dong Xi was very gratified. Tie Zhu smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you are still young, but you are very responsible in doing things. It suits my temper very well. Come, let’s toast.”

Tie Zhu raised the teacup in his hand.

Rui Ming was stunned for a moment. When he realized that Tie Zhu was looking at him, he picked up the cup and touched it tentatively.

It was good enough that drinking tea felt like drinking wine.

Dong Xi was somewhat helpless. Tie Zhu smiled and said, “Today, we’re meeting at a teahouse. If it were a tavern, I would definitely get drunk with Fellow Daoist Rui Ming. “
