Chapter 538: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

"This is the tea leaves from the Deep Sea Miaosheng Tree that I occasionally got from Hailuoyuan City a few days ago. I know that the third elder likes to drink tea, so as a filial piety, I hope that the third elder will accept it."

"After all, Wang Sheng can be considered a member of the Beast Control Sect no matter what."

Wang Sheng said, with a respectful look on his face, he bent down slightly, lowered his eyebrows and held the wooden box in his hands and handed it to the third elder.

The whole wooden box is red, antique, and filled with aura. The material looks very extraordinary. Through the aura, you can see little bits and pieces, like green mist, emitting from the wooden box.

After taking a sip, I immediately felt an indescribable refreshing fragrance coming to my nostrils.

The movement of the third elder's hand suddenly paused, and he slowly turned around and looked at the respectful Wang Sheng. After listening to his words, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but he also softened a lot. He did not take the wooden box. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked calmly:

"It must have taken a lot of effort to get such a treasure from Hailuoyuan City. It is not easy. This thing is precious, so why give it to me? Why don't you keep it for yourself?"

"Tea from the Deep Sea Miaosheng Tree is rare and only sprouts once every hundred years. This tea has the effect of calming the mind, increasing cultivation, nourishing the soul, and stimulating physical vitality. It can also clarify one's mind and increase understanding. , This thing is worth a lot of money, it would be too expensive and a waste to give it to a bad old man like me."

The third elder said lightly, his eyes lightly flicking on the wooden box seemingly unintentionally, and a wave of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Naturally, this disturbance did not escape Wang Sheng, who had been silently observing the third elder. Wang Sheng kept a smile on his face, spoke in a respectful tone, and said with a slight smile:

"There is nothing precious about this. After all, Xiaosheng is also a member of the Beast Control Sect. The third elder has worked hard and devoted himself to the Beast Control Sect these years. These juniors also see it in their eyes, and naturally they feel distressed. I heard that the third elder's favorite food is Tea, this is just a little thought, and it can be used to its fullest effect if I can take a break on Shanchang Island during my free time."

When the third elder heard this, his eyes lowered slightly, and he looked at Wang Sheng deeply. After a moment, his tone became softer, but he did not reach out to pick up the wooden box. He just suddenly put his hands behind his back and said lightly:

"It's fair to say that you are serious about coming here this time, but why?"

Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Seeing that the third elder did not receive the tea directly, he just put it on the stone table aside, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the third elder. The elder is always here, except for wanting to make peace with you." In addition to the third elder talking about old times, there are indeed some small things."

"Little things?"

Hearing this, the third elder raised his eyes, glanced at Wang Sheng in a funny way, and said lightly with a hint of joking in his tone:

"Is it really just a small matter? Although I haven't paid much attention to things on the island these years, I still don't know everything. There have been a lot of rumors about you, the Seventh Holy Son, recently."

Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment and haze flashed across Wang Sheng's face, but on the surface he was still calm. He nodded slightly and clasped his fists, saying: "It's just some crazy talk from the outside world. It can't be true. What's the specifics? Please don’t take it to heart, Third Elder.”

"Haha," the third elder chuckled and shook his head, "What are the details? I won't live broadcast anymore. You know it yourself. As you said, you are still half a disciple of my Beast Control Sect, so you have to be careful in doing things. The key is to be measured, don’t go too far, lest you end up in a dilemma.”

There was a deep meaning in the third elder's tone. He looked at Wang Sheng like an elder looking at a junior, with an obvious intention of beating:

"You should know in your heart what things you have done. Regarding these things, because you are also the seventh holy son of my Sea Beast Island, you naturally chose to turn a blind eye to these things."

"But again, don't go too far. It also means that the way of heaven is not a place where you can do whatever you want. If you want to suppress some disciples who have offended you, we won't stop you. After all, cultivation, fighting with others, is always the same. It is inevitable. However, the premise of all this is to put the overall interests of Sea Beast Island first. This time, the incident on Lingmine Island will not be allowed to happen again. "

Third Elder Wang Donghai said calmly. Although the ups and downs of emotions could not be heard in his tone, the faint threat in his words was revealed.

"Yes, this junior understands."

Wang Sheng immediately bowed his head respectfully and praised, rolled his eyes, came closer, and whispered:

"However, Third Elder, don't you think it's inappropriate for a disciple from outside the sect to hold such an important position on a spiritual mine island like our Sea Beast Island?"

"Perfect is also very curious about the origin of this so-called Yu Changsheng."

Wang Donghai's expression remained as calm as ever. While watering his flowers and plants, he said calmly:

"Why is it that the foreign sect is nothing more than the middle one? He is now also the deacon elder of the island under my Sea Beast Island, and he has also proved with his strength that he can hold this position. Isn't that enough?"

"I know you are unwilling to accept him, but it is impossible to drive him out of the Sea Beast Island directly from me, especially now that I am not the only one paying attention to him."

When Wang Sheng heard this, he smiled bitterly and when he mentioned Yu Changsheng, a hint of ferocity and resentment flashed through his eyes, but he still remained calm and clasped his fists slightly:

"This junior is just curious about this person. Now a genius, I am afraid that sooner or later he will not be willing to be such a deacon and elder of an outer sect."

"I'm afraid that if we find an opportunity and let it continue to develop like this, one day it will return to Shanghai Beast Sky Island and be on an equal footing with us."

Wang Donghai turned his head and looked directly at Wang Sheng with eyes as bright as a torch. His eyes were so deep that he seemed to be able to directly penetrate people's thoughts. He opened his mouth lightly and spoke calmly:

"What do you want to express?"

Wang Sheng lowered his head and clasped his fists, his tone still respectful:

"The junior's thoughts are the same as those of the third elder, but there is some conflict with this Yu Changsheng. I know that the third elder does not like this Yu Changsheng, and is afraid that this Yu Changsheng will take the opportunity to rise up, thus threatening Xu Chengbo and fighting for Xu Chengbo's Holy Son. Some obstacles have been added, and the previous selection between Yu Changsheng and I can no longer be resolved. In this case, why don’t the third elders use this junior’s knife, which is just right to avoid future troubles..."

Wang Sheng spoke quietly, his tone was slow, but his expression was very sincere and sincere.

At this point, he was too lazy to go around and around with Wang Donghai, and just made things clear. After all, he knew in his heart that he and Wang Donghai should be a united front, and there was no direct conflict.

And some of his little thoughts cannot be hidden from Wang Donghai. After all, an old fox is an old fox.

The Xu Chengbo he mentioned was the third holy son of the Sea Beast Island, who was very powerful. Wang Donghai was also one of Xu Chengbo's supporters on the surface and had a close relationship with him.

The reason is very simple. Xu Chengbo's mother comes from the same family as Wang Donghai, and there is a certain blood relationship between the two.

Therefore, Wang Donghai naturally prefers Xu Chengbo, the third holy son, and as Wang Sheng said, the reason why Wang Donghai sent Yu Changsheng away in the first place was just in case, fearing that one day Yu Changsheng would threaten Xu Chengbo.

But now it seems that his original idea was not wrong, and Yu Changsheng's performance can indeed pose a certain threat.

Therefore, after hearing Wang Sheng's straightforward words, Wang Donghai's expression froze and he was stunned for a moment, but he was not angry. He just looked at Wang Sheng deeply and pondered for a while:

"You are interesting. You have a grudge against Yu Changsheng, but you still want to drag me into the water. Why, do you really think that I will get involved in your affairs?"

Wang Donghai chuckled.

However, Wang Sheng still remained gentle, just nodded slightly, bowed to Wang Donghai with lowered eyebrows, and said:

"The third elder is joking. I'm just talking about myself. This junior is willing to be a sword and let the third elder do whatever he wants."

Wang Donghai was silent for a long time, breathed out gently, thought for a while, took out a jade tube from his arms, threw it to Wang Sheng, shook his head and said:

"Here, there is all the information about Yu Changsheng, including how he came to the Sea Beast Island and why he came there. Take it and take a look. There may be something you need in it."

"Thank you, Third Elder."

Wang Sheng was delighted, nodded, and took the jade tube.

"Well," Wang Donghai turned around, no longer looking at Wang Sheng, he just lowered his head and played with the flowers and plants he planted, and his tone was somewhat ethereal and slowly came out:

"I still say what I said, seize the opportunity yourself. This is something that happened on Phosphate Island. Some people have paid attention to it, and Yu Changsheng has also come into the eyes of some people because of this, although it is not a big deal now."

"But if there is another opportunity like this, maybe your careful consideration will become a stepping stone for him to fly to the branch. So either don't do things, or do them to the best of your ability. Don't expose your own weaknesses, let alone build momentum for others. You know, your position as the Seventh Holy Son is not stable."

Wang Sheng was silent, nodded, and replied in a low voice: "I know in my heart that this time, it was just an accident. There are many worries that made me lose to Yu Changsheng once, but it won't happen this time."

"It's good for you to know."

Wang Donghai didn't say much, but sighed quietly in his heart.

In fact, there was a conflict between Wang Sheng and Yu Changsheng. He didn't want to take care of it. It would be better to let Yu Changsheng remain unknown. It's a pity that sometimes things go against his wishes. It's harder to calm down if you want to. .

The conflict between Wang Sheng and Yu Changsheng broke out, which he did not expect. What he did not expect was that Wang Sheng was finally shocked and defeated by Yu Changsheng, so that Yu Changsheng was not only famous now, but also different from his original thoughts. , going in the opposite direction.

He deliberately planned for Yu Changsheng to be almost exiled. Isn't it because he was afraid that Yu Changsheng would become famous and be noticed by some opponents on Sea Beast Island, so he could recruit him and become one of Xu Chengbo's strong enemies, increasing the pressure...

It can only be said that what happened to Wang Sheng was unexpected. Wang Donghai was naturally not happy about Wang Sheng's actions, but since the matter was already done and his tone seemed to indicate that Yu Changsheng was on the rise, he might as well just go with it. Wang Sheng, do things extremely well and nip them in the bud before they fully emerge.

This will prevent future troubles forever.

"Thank you, Third Elder. In that case, I will take my leave now. Third Elder is busy cultivating himself. I will not disturb you anymore."

Looking at Wang Donghai's back, Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. After clasping his fists and saying this, he glanced at the wooden box placed on the stone table and left quietly.

Since you are asking for help, you must have a correct attitude.

"It's just a pity that my Deep Sea Wonderful Tea..."

Wang Sheng sighed softly in his heart, feeling a little pain in his body, but his face didn't show any signs of it.

Wang Donghai naturally did not stop Wang Sheng from leaving. After nodding silently, he stopped paying attention and continued to play with the spiritual plant as if nothing had happened.

"Although this is out of character, there is nothing you can do about it. Sometimes, life will not let you go as you wish..."

Wang Donghai's eyes were dark and he was thinking about this. He lowered his head and looked at the blooming spiritual lotus in front of him. He suddenly smiled softly and suddenly took hold of the blooming spiritual lotus in his hand and squeezed it hard.

Click...

In an instant, the spirit lotus turned into powder and floated away in the wind.

Wang Donghai clapped his hands gently, his expression unfazed.

"After all, it is just an ornamental flower. Just use it for viewing. This is your greatest value. If it is too stunning, it will be easy to sell off."

Wang Donghai murmured in a low voice:

"Besides, Wang Sheng is quite sensible. With his help, I can do some things easily. Other than that, it has nothing to do with me. Let's see what Wang Sheng's methods are like."

"Or, can you withstand the rest of your life? If you can survive this, then you have extraordinary charm..."

Wang Donghai thought for a moment, slowly shook his head, suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, looked at the stone table in the pavilion, his eyes fell on the stone table, and the wooden box placed by Wang Sheng, and gently took it He got up and slowly opened the box.

In the wooden box, there are some tea leaves cushioned with silk nylon. When you open the wooden box, a fragrance suddenly hits your nostrils. This fragrance is rich and lingers for a long time. Once you take a sip, you will feel relaxed and happy, and your fatigue will disappear. , refreshed.

Even more spiritual energy is naturally attracted to it and surrounds it.

The tea leaves were dark red all over, as thin as cicada wings, like tiny five-pointed stars, crystal clear, and strange in appearance. They were obviously not ordinary things, but the number was small, only about eighty leaves.

"Deep Sea Wonderful Tea..."

Wang Donghai pondered, gently picked up a piece of tea, and smelled it slightly. A smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"It's a good thing, just right to send to Bo'er. In that case, why not give this Wang Sheng a chance?"

Wang Donghai laughed, waved his sleeves, and put the wooden box away. (End of chapter)
