Chapter 16: 539 Asking for Help
Chapter 539 - Asking for Help
"Zhuo ... Zhuo Butler can he really save my son and the others?" With a pang of apprehension in his heart, Kui Wolf said with a look of expectation.
Yue Ling was also full of bright eyes, staring intently at the faces of the four men, not moving a muscle, all with a begging look in their eyes.
After looking at each other, the four of them laughed out loud in unison, and then the Fierce Demon puffed out his chest and said with a proud look on his face, "I guess you haven't spent much time with Steward Zhuo, so you don't know what he can do. We have been with him for a long time and can tell you clearly. There is nothing he can't do under the sun!"
"Yes, yes, I heard that old man Li was also badly injured in a fire fight and his veins were broken, but he was rehabilitated by Steward Zhuo and recovered immediately, and even broke through to the Void Transformation Realm!" The coward, at the side, also nodded sharply and added.
His brow furrowed deeply, Scrooge did not feel like panting long and short, shaking his head, "Alas, I heard that in that final battle in the heavens, those few old guys in the family were rewarded for their merits and all got a lot of benefits. We were called back to the clan and missed out on the good times, so we didn't get a single penny. Even that old man and his wife, they are about to break through the Void Transformation Realm. ... It's a loss, it's a real fucking loss! How come when there are benefits, we are not there!"
Hearing this, the four looked at each other and all shook their heads and sighed as well.
The two of them stared at the four figures closely, although they were baffled and did not know what was going on, there was one thing they did understand, and that was that this Steward Zhuo was indeed very powerful!
The future of their two juniors was counting on him ...
"I wonder ... where this Steward Zhuo is?" The four ghosts were all in a hurry to ask for advice, and there was a look of urgency in their eyes.
The four demons of the Devil's Curse heard that something was wrong and their faces instantly sank as they questioned, "Aren't you friends of Butler Zhuo, how come you don't even know where he is?"
They looked at each other, both of them shaking coldly, not knowing how to answer.
If they told these four madmen that they didn't know Steward Zhuo at all, would these four guys tear them apart on the spot?
Looking at the fierce eyes of the four men, the two of them sighed slightly in their hearts and already understood the answer.
Needless to say, they were dead!
So, in a state of great apprehension, the two of them were at a loss for words, stammering, not knowing how to speak. The four demons of the Devil's Curse also looked more and more suspicious.
At this moment, an old laugh rang out, relieving them of their doubts: "Heh heh ... Four deacons don't need to be suspicious, Zhuo Fan doesn't walk here as a steward, so how would they know that he used to be a steward?"
Without realizing it, the four demons of the Devil's Curse finally nodded in understanding, understanding that everything made sense.
The two of them were even more shocked, how could it be that the godly Butler Zhuo that these four were talking about was actually Zhuo Fan?
With astonishment on their faces, they looked at Elder Yuan, who was slowly walking towards them, and their eyes were filled with astonishment and hesitation.
Understanding what they were thinking, Elder Yuan let out a laugh and shook his head, "Now you know that the only one who can save those two brats is Zhuo Fan, right? It's a pity that you have just offended others, and now that you have asked to come to their door, I wonder if they will still agree to help."
"What, you have actually offended Housekeeper Zhuo?"
With a twitch of his eyebrows, the Fierce Ghost looked at their sad faces and laughed out loud with glee: "Hahahaha ... Then you're dead, this Butler Zhuo has the smallest heart and usually holds the most grudges. If you dare to offend him, even if you are friends, he will not give you face. You'd better collect the corpses of these two little children, you don't need to bother, Jie Jie ..."
When the remaining three ghosts heard this, they also laughed strangely and danced around with their hands, as if
The other three ghosts also laughed and danced around, as if watching others suffer miserably was their lifelong pleasure.
The other three ghosts were also laughing, as if watching others suffer was their life's work.
If Zhuo Fan really had such a way to return to the heavens, then the two of them would really have made their own mistakes and would not be able to live. They had offended him for no reason, so they could not be friends, they were simply enemies!
With such a relationship, who would be willing to help?
They both sighed and regretted. If they had known this, they should have been on better terms with the Great Steward Zhuo.
Suddenly, Yue Ling's eyes lit up and she looked at Yuan Lao, with a hint of hope on her face: "Old man Yuan ..., no, old man Yuan, aren't you good friends with that Zhuo Fan, so please help us out and invite this great god this time. Otherwise, there is nothing we can do."
Hearing this, Kui Wolf also nodded his head busily and looked at Elder Yuan with a begging face.
In a flash, this little old man, who had never made anyone pay attention to him in the handyman's room, had instantly become the meat and potatoes that the two greats were vying to flatter, causing him to stop losing his laughter.
"Alas, the two of you are usually overbearing and do not know the way to govern your subordinates, so you are both gracious and powerful. If it were anyone else, who would pay attention to you? Unlike Zhuo Fan, who, even though he is in this lowly servant's room, is still surrounded by four loyal servants. This is something you should think about!"
Elder Yuan could not help but let out a long sigh and reprimanded. The two of them did not dare to speak back, but nodded their heads repeatedly and positively admitted their mistakes: "Elder Yuan has taught us a lesson, we will definitely correct it in the future!"
Suddenly, they were under the illusion that this flattering and inconspicuous little old man was now vaguely taller, and even had a superior aura that made them willingly submit to him!
"Well then, I will go along with you all, but whether that boy agrees or not is not up to me, but whether you are sincere!" Nodding in satisfaction, Elder Yuan waved his hand and laughed out lightly.
The two of them thanked each other gratefully, as if they didn't even realise that they were supposed to be in charge of the servant's room!
So, with Old Man Yuan in tow, they once again headed to the back mountain mausoleum to ask for Zhuo Fan, while the Four Demons of the Devil's Curse, under a series of cajoling words from Old Man Yuan, obediently guarded around Yue'er's two injured victims and protected them.
Under the banner of Zhuo Fan, naturally!
Half an hour later, the three of them once again entered this gloomy and windy realm, and when they looked from a distance, they saw Zhuo Fan sitting quietly on a convex stone, his whole body draped with black Qi.
Slowly opening his eyes and glancing at them, Zhuo Fan collected his black aura and sneered: "Hmph ... not even a day has passed and you are back again. What, have you recovered from your injuries so quickly and come back for a fight? But this time, I'll tell you beforehand, I won't be merciful anymore!"
With a blush on their faces, Kui Wolf and Yue Ling looked at each other and without another word, they actually fell to the ground with a thud and kowtowed three times before prostrating themselves, "Earlier, we both were unaware of the mountain and had offended, so I hope that Steward Zhuo will save Yue's life and the lives of their two juniors, regardless of their past grudges."
"No rescue!" Without too many words, Zhuo Fan snorted coldly and turned his head away, no longer bothering to look at them.
The two of them looked at each other with a bitter look on their faces, and finally turned their helpless eyes towards Elder Yuan who had followed them.
Understanding their meaning, Elder Yuan laughed lightly and said indifferently, "Mr. Zhuo, those two juniors are in critical condition, their future is slim, and the two seedlings are about to break, so why don't you save them?"
"I have no friendship with them, why should I save them?" His face was ancient, and Zhuo Fan spoke out coldly.
A bland curve crossed the corner of his mouth as Elder Yuan gave a light laugh and said, "Then do you have friendship with me, sir?"
"Elder Yuan is my close friend in the Discourses, so naturally we have a great deal of friendship. However, the discussion of the Dao is a discussion of the Dao, not a favor. Even if you ask for mercy, I will not save you!" There was not a trace of emotion in Zhuo Fan's eyes, which were cold to the bone.
When the two of them saw this, they felt anxious, their hearts burning like fire.
His beard trembled slightly, but Yuan Lao was indifferent and murmured, "Then dare I ask Mr. Zhuo, if it was my son whose life was hanging by a thread today, would you save him or not?"
"If Elder Yuan dies, Zhuo Fan will have no one to discuss the dao with in the future, so naturally I have to save him!" Zhuo Fan did not think twice and immediately spoke.
Old Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Well then, I will give you my life today in exchange for saving one of them, Mr. Zhuo, is that good?"
"A life for a life?" His eyes narrowed slightly, Zhuo Fan finally turned his head, gave him a deep look and said coldly, "Elder Yuan, is this the same?"
"How is it not the same?" Without realising it, Yuan Lao's eyes flashed with a wise light, "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as ruminants. In the eyes of the strong, life is nothing more than a general number. As long as this number is stable, then it represents the sign of life and vitality. If I die and they live, or if they live and I die, it's actually roughly the same, no one will care."
"Demons are the root of evil, representing destruction, destroying the heavens and destroying the earth. But after the destruction, there is a new life. The devil also has a way, the way of nature. Death must always do something for life, in order to be considered in line with the heavenly dao. Now I have traded my life for a life, and have been able to continue the future of a younger generation, so I have died for a good cause!
His eyebrows twitched as Zhuo Fan stared at him intently, took a deep breath and murmured, "The great righteousness of the Devil's Way is called destruction, but it is actually life. When heaven and earth are unkind, the devil destroys heaven and earth, seemingly for the sake of evil, but actually to save the living. Carrying all evils on my back, let me enter the devil to destroy the saints ..."
After pondering slightly for a little while, Zhuo Fan could not help but laugh lightly and nodded: "A good death for the sake of life, and destruction for the sake of heaven and earth. Elder Yuan, I've been taught, thanks for the guidance, I saved this man, and you don't have to pay for your life!"
Their eyes lit up, the two Kui Wolves were overjoyed, and Elder Yuan let out a big smile and joked, "So Mr. Zhuo, are you saving one person or two?"
"If I save one person, Elder Yuan will probably have to take his own life again, in exchange for another person. To avoid trouble, I will naturally save both of them together!" The corners of his mouth arced lightly as Zhuo Fan spoke out spontaneously.
Hearing this, the two Kui wolves could not help but smile with joy and excitement, and Yuan Lao also gave a big smile and nodded happily, secretly saying, "This son is really gifted, a little bit of understanding, really rare ah ...
On the other hand, Liu Xu stood at the top of a lonely cliff, watching the white-bearded elders fly by one after another below, his face was full of gloom.
Hu Mei'er came to his side and was also exasperated: "Damn it, it was so hard to wait for the elders to tour the sect today, as long as we lure those two over and let all the elders see them openly attacking the inner disciples with their sinful bodies, all will surely be lost. Unfortunately, those four lunatics actually killed them halfway and stopped them. Alas, what a lost cause!"
"Yes, their pardon will be issued soon, if we don't step up our game, they will turn over at any moment. When that happens, you and I will both be threatened. That elite disciple slot is going to be hard to pocket!" Eyes slightly narrowed, Liu Xu coldly snorted out.
Hearing this, Hu Mei'er also nodded slightly, her eyes turning from side to side as she made calculations, "Right, second senior brother, that Zhuo Fan's background, we haven't even found out now, I don't know which elder donor's seat, how about ..."
"Throw stones and plant evidence!" Before Hu Mei'er had finished speaking, Liu Xu had already tilted the corners of his mouth, revealing a wicked smile, and let out a cold voice ...
