Chapter 687: The Best of Both Worlds

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Peng Chan secretly gritted his teeth and said, “The Daoist Association needs a place in the northwest to do things. A scenic development area under the Hu Family Industry is not bad. If the Hu Family can give that up and let the Daoist Association build an office, it will be the best of both worlds.”

When building an office, they naturally had to categorize an area.

At that time, the Daoist Association would mark out all the places with spirit stones and they would belong to the Daoist Association.

Yu Su sneered. She understood!

This old thing had done many evil things. If he forcefully took the Hu family’s opportunity, he might be punished by the Heavenly Dao. He could only circle around and plan.

No wonder he came personally.

Yu Su looked at Master Peng with a knowing gaze and a bright smile on her face. “Master Peng, are you trying to find an excuse to deceive me because I’m young? Unfortunately, I’m not a fool.”

She paused for a moment and continued, “An office in the Northwest? I think that place has spirit stones, right? That’s why you spent so much effort thinking about it.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present who did not understand understood immediately.

Hu Yu clenched his fists, his eyes cold.

It seemed that this development zone was the reason for Hu Rui’s poisoning.

Peng Chan was shocked, and his lips trembled.

He did not expect Yu Su to be so smart. She guessed his true motive at once and even said it in public.

He composed himself and said, “Fellow Devotee Yu, you’re wrong. I’ve never put in any effort to obtain the Hu family’s development area. It’s only fate that I want this place. It would be best if the place has spirit stones. If not, it doesn’t matter.”

Peng Chan continued to maintain his sage-like appearance. He reached out and stroked his beard with an indifferent expression.

Yu Su chuckled and did not say anything.

Peng Chan continued, “The worm poison in Young Master Hu’s body is already at its end. If we don’t treat him, I’m afraid his life will be in danger. I happen to know some ways to treat him. This is mutually beneficial.”

He then looked at Wu Xi and said, “Mrs. Hu, what do you think?”

He knew that Wu Xi had been asking metaphysical masters to treat his illness. He happened to grasp her worried mentality and wanted to emphasize his bargaining chip.

Wu Xi turned around and said calmly, “I’ll listen to Yu Su.”

She knew that the person Yu Su was targeting was definitely not a good person. Perhaps it was the person who poisoned her son. How could she turn around and support Master Peng at this time?

Peng Chan shook his head with a smile and sighed.

If the Hu family could not bear to part with the development zone, they would let Young Master Hu lose his life!

He could not be blamed for this.

Seeing his gloating expression, Yu Su’s eyes were cold. “Master Peng, I have a question that I don’t know if you can answer. You’re about to die. Why do you need so many spirit stones? Are you going to bring them to the coffin?”

The moment these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Behind Peng Chan, Devotee Mingda also opened his mouth in shock and stared blankly at Peng Chan.

No way? Could it be that Master Peng’s lifespan was about to end?

Yu Su was at the perfected realm, so she naturally had better eyesight than him, a medium-grade Level 5 Daoist priest. Therefore, Ming Da still believed Yu Su’s words a little.

Peng Chan was shocked again, and his expression turned ugly.

He did not understand how Yu Su could tell. When he went out, he had clearly used many secret techniques to cover his lifespan.

He even brought several spiritual artifacts with him, creating a lively appearance.

What the hell was going on?

The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. He was even a little afraid that Yu Su would spread the news.

Peng Chan could not hold back his anger. The veins on his neck were bulging. He clenched his fists and said, “Fellow Devotee, be careful with your words! As a Level Five perfected cultivator and diligently cultivating, my lifespan naturally won’t be exhausted so quickly. Please don’t speak nonsense.”

If word got out, his believers would definitely be reduced by more than half.

Even Mingda and Ruoshui, who had been following behind him, would leave without mercy.

Yu Su was all smiles. “If you’re talented, your lifespan will definitely be long. I don’t think Master Peng is talented. You’ve suffered backlashes repeatedly and even like to absorb luck to maintain your lifespan. In my opinion, you don’t have much time left. Because retribution will come sooner or later. Even Master Peng won’t be able to avoid it.”

Yu Su spoke frankly.

She generously told them that she had guessed that Peng Chan had absorbed luck.

Peng Chan jumped in fright, his face as dark as water. “Fellow Devotee Yu, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’ve never done anything like that before.” He had never expected Yu Su to be so bold!
