Chapter 699: Desperate!

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for your help. I am grateful!"

Wei Hong clasped his hands and clasped his fists. He was obviously very grateful to Zhu Ming.

If it were another person, knowing that he had offended the Cao family, he would not immediately cut off his relationship with him, but at least he would never do such a thing of helping him in times of need.

Therefore, Wei Hong naturally remembered Zhu Ming's favor.

Zhu Ming waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's polite to say these things. This is just a piece of cake for me!"

"Haha, Mr. Zhu, you don't have to be modest. I have remembered it all!" Wei Hong laughed, and then immediately extended his hand to invite him, "Come on, Mr. Zhu, please come this way. Let's go to the courtyard to talk."

"Okay, Mr. Wei, please!"

Zhu immediately followed Wei Hong and soon returned to the courtyard.

The two of them sat down at the stone table in the yard. Wei Hong immediately brewed a pot of spiritual tea, poured a cup for Zhu Ming, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, come, have a cup of spiritual tea first."

Zhu Ming smiled and nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

After he put down the teacup, he took out a jade slip from the storage bag and put it on the table, and then said to Wei Hong, "Fellow Daoist Wei, this is the information about the Cao family you want, it's all in it!"

This jade slip is the detailed information about the Cao family that Zhu Ming bought from the Tianji Pavilion.

Wei Hong didn't even look at the jade slip when he heard it, and put it directly into the storage bag, and then asked, "Thank you, how many spiritual stones did you spend, I will return it to Fellow Daoist Zhu now."

"Not much, ten medium-grade spiritual stones!" Zhu Ming said casually.

"Haha, it's not much indeed. Come, Fellow Daoist Zhu, keep it. If it weren't for your help this time, I wouldn't have gotten this information so easily!"

Wei Hong immediately took out ten middle-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and pushed them in front of Zhu Ming, and expressed his gratitude again.

Speaking of this, Zhu Ming put away the spirit stones and looked at Wei Hong excitedly, saying with a smile: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei, you don't know that you have become famous among us deacons. Many people have been talking about you recently, and they all say that you are ruthless enough to kill two members of the Cao family in one go, including Cao Jiang, who is at the fifth level of foundation building. I really admire you!"

Wei Hong smiled bitterly when he heard this. He was sure that Zhu Ming had no other intentions, but he didn't expect that the matter would spread so quickly, which really made him a little helpless. This was not the result he wanted to see, but the matter had already spread, and there was no point in hiding it.

He smiled bitterly and asked Zhu Ming: "Has the news spread? Did the Cao family spread it?"

"Doesn't that mean that everyone thinks that I, Wei Hong, am the murderer who killed the Cao family members?"

Wei Hong wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect to be directly exposed by the angry Cao family.

Zhu Ming looked at Wei Hong in surprise, and then replied: "Yes, the news did come from the Cao family, and the Cao family has already said that they will fight you to the death, and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation."

"Daoyou Wei, the incident has already happened. What's the point of denying it? It's better to admit it openly. Now many people want to get to know you!"

Zhu Ming didn't understand why Wei Hong didn't want to admit it.

In fact, he knew from Wei Hong's request for help that the deaths of Cao Jiang and Cao Zhen were definitely related to Wei Hong.

At this time, Zhu Ming thought of Wei Hong's previous undefeated sparring with others, and he was even more convinced of the matter.

However, Wei Hong sighed with regret and said with a helpless smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. The Cao family has determined that I am the murderer and has said that they will fight to the death with me. Since this is the case, Wei can only be forced to protect himself."

"Since there is no possibility of reconciliation, Wei doesn't mind killing a few more members of the Cao family."

At this point, Wei Hong's eyes unconsciously flashed with a trace of cold murderous intent.

Then he continued to say to Zhu Ming: "It's just that the matter of getting to know fellow Daoists is probably impossible to achieve in a short period of time. Wei dare not leave this spiritual plant garden recently. The people of the Cao family should be squatting outside!"

Since the matter has been spread, Wei Hong is too lazy to say more. Anyway, the Cao family regards him as a mortal enemy. He only needs to find a way to deal with the Cao family.

Even if he can't deal with the Cao family, at least the Cao family will not dare to provoke him again.

Now he is not taken seriously by the Cao family, but Wei Hong has plenty of time. He only needs to hide in the spiritual plant garden and smile bitterly. Sooner or later, he will reach a point where the Cao family dare not provoke him. By then, this matter will be solved naturally.

Zhu Ming didn't know what Wei Hong was thinking at the moment, but he was also shocked by his strong spirit. He immediately said, "Daoyou Wei is indeed an extraordinary person. Haha, Zhu really admires him."

"Alas, it's all helpless. Daoyou Zhu is too kind."

Wei Hong waved his hand, and then seemed to remember something, and immediately said to Zhu Ming, "Daoyou Zhu, when you come here to collect spiritual rice in the future, I hope you will be careful. It's hard to guarantee that the Cao family will be crazy and want to take it out on you. After all, you are too close to me."

Zhu Ming smiled disdainfully and said, "Take it out on me? It's not that I underestimate the Cao family. It's just that even if they have ten courage, they dare not attack me. Besides, I am the outer gate steward of the Immortal City and have no grudges with the Cao family. If they dare to attack me, maybe the entire Cao family will be buried with me. Daoyou Wei doesn't need to worry about this."

"By the way, Zhu has already made an agreement with the higher-ups that I will be the one to collect the spiritual rice from the No. 7 Spiritual Plant Garden in the back. Fellow Daoist Wei, rest assured that Zhu will never give the Cao family a chance to take advantage of it."

Wei Hong felt relieved when he heard this, knowing that Zhu Ming had understood what he meant, so he immediately clasped his hands and said, "Haha, thank you very much."

"By the way, this bottle is the Zhengyang Pill, which was made by Wei himself. I will give it to you as a thank you gift. I hope you won't dislike it!"

After saying that, he took out a white jade bottle from his storage bag and placed it in front of Zhu Ming.

After seeing this, Zhu Ming waved his hands and said, "Hey, this is absolutely not allowed, Fellow Daoist Wei, Zhu treats you as a close friend, what do you mean by this?"

As he said this, he also pretended to be unhappy and glared at Wei Hong.

Wei Hong didn't care at all, instead he smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist, please don't refuse. Although we are good friends, I will never let you work in vain. Moreover, this bottle of pills was made by me personally, not bought from outside, and is not worth a few spirit stones. Just accept it. Can a bottle of pills affect our friendship?"

After saying this, Zhu Ming happily accepted it: "Then I won't be polite. I just want to practice hard during this period!"

"That's perfect. If you need pills in the future, just bring the materials to me. I will help you make pills for free!"

In order to repay Zhu Ming's favor, Wei Hong also made a promise at this time.
