Asking About Longevity Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Oppression

 “Can't survive?” Mo Hua was stunned.

Ji Qingbai nodded. He didn't want to go into details, but he saw that although Mo Hua was young, he was able to handle the inner mountains with ease. Whether it was ability or character, he should not be underestimated. He couldn't treat him like a child anymore.

Moreover, if he makes a living in Tongxian City from now on, he will inevitably have to bother his father Mo Shan, so he said truthfully:

"Qingxuan City is not like Tongxian City. The casual cultivators in the city no longer have the protection of the foundation-building cultivators."

"Elder Zheng, a foundation-building loose cultivator in Qingxuan City, has passed away for a year. In the past year, there have been no foundation-building monks among the loose cultivators. We loose cultivators have to be oppressed by the family and live in hardship. One day is worse than the other.”

“Although it was difficult before, I was still able to survive, but the spiritual stones I earned were getting less and less every day. Not to mention cultivation, even normal food and clothing were not enough.”

“Besides, those family members are making trouble every day and oppressing the casual cultivators. It's okay if we just swallow our anger, but once there is a slight resistance, they will intensify and oppress even more fiercely.”

“If things get serious and a melee breaks out, the casual cultivators will not be able to compete with the family cultivators without the foundation-building cultivators, and they will basically be defeated.”

Ji Qingbai became angrier as he talked, and the wounds on his body ached.

Mo Hua handed him some more pills.

Ji Qingbai took the elixir and drank it, thanked him, then looked at the unconscious female cultivator and said:

"This child's name is Fu Lan. Her father is a demon hunter brother of mine. He hunted demons in his early years and was accidentally eaten by a demon beast. Her mother worked hard to raise her."

"Last month, the young master of the Kong family in Qingxuan City wanted to take her as a concubine. He said she was a concubine, but she was not treated as a human being. Her mother didn't agree, so she was severely injured by the Kong family. If it is not cured, the person will be dead in less than half a month.”

"After that, the young master of the Kong family was still entangled. Ji Li and I couldn't stand it anymore, so we took action to teach the young master of the Kong family a lesson. However, we also caused a big trouble and started a grudge against the Kong family. I had no choice but to take these two children with me. , escaped from Qingxuan City."

“In several nearby immortal cities, casual cultivators have a hard time. After much deliberation, only Tongxian City will be better, and it will be safer with the protection of Elder Yu who is in the foundation building period.”

Ji Qingbai sighed, "It's just that I suffered a lot along the way. First I was chased by the Kong family, and I finally escaped. After entering the Daheishan Mountains, I was intercepted and killed by the unidentified monks. The father and son almost died." ”

Ji Qingbai felt grateful again and said to Mo Hua: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid things would have been much worse."

Mo Hua said: "I am just a fox pretending to be a tiger, it's nothing."

 At such a young age, being able to understand the power of a fox and a tiger and still escape unscathed is both smart and capable.

Ji Qingbai admired silently in his heart.

Mo Hua was thinking about what Ji Qingbai just said, feeling a little angry and confused:

“Does Daotingsi not care about the Kong family's misdeeds?”

Ji Qingbai looked bitter, "The Dao Tingsi of Qingxuan City was bribed by the Kong family and several other families. If casual cultivators commit crimes, they will be punished according to the law. If the family members commit crimes, they will be vague. Dao Tingsi will turn a blind eye and close his eyes." With one eye, the matter is revealed.”

Mo Hua frowned, "Isn't there nothing we can do..."

Ji Qingbai shook his head, "Who would want to leave their hometown if they have a little way to survive?"

Mo Hua felt sad when he heard it.

Without Elder Yu in the foundation building period, Qingxuan City's today might be Tongxian City's tomorrow.

Ji Qingbai looked lonely, so Mo Hua comforted him and said:

“Don't worry, Tongxian City is doing well now, and no one will bully you.”

Ji Qingbai cheered up slightly after hearing this.

His requirements are not high at all. He just needs a place to stay, earn some spiritual stones, make a living, and the family can survive.

The next few people rested peacefully, and Mo Hua had nothing to do. Looking at the big man on the side, he suddenly felt a little strange.

This big man said nothing along the way.

 He cursed people so fiercely that Mo Hua thought he was a talker.

Mo Hua stared at the big man for a few more times, then was suddenly startled and asked, "You are not Elder Yu's son, are you?"

The big man was stunned for a moment and frowned, "Do you know my father?"

 Sure enough.

 Mo Hua looked at his appearance and vaguely felt that he was somewhat similar to Elder Yu, except that he was stronger in physique, while Elder Yu was much thinner.

Moreover, this big man has a bad temper and is very good at swearing. His curse words are a bit like Elder Yu. He must have learned this from his family.

“Elder Yu and I are quite familiar with each other,” Mo Hua said. The big man snorted lightly and said nothing.

But in his heart, he thought that Mo Hua was bragging. His father was a foundation-building elder, and Mo Hua was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. There was such a big age difference, how familiar could he be?

Mo Hua asked again: "What's your name?"

 The big man still didn't want to answer.

Ji Qingbai on one side saw this and said, "His name is Yu Chengwu."

“Oh.” Mo Hua suddenly said, “Yu Chengyi, is Uncle Yu your eldest brother?”

Yu Chengwu looked stunned, "Are you familiar with my elder brother?"

Mo Hua nodded and asked, "Then should I call you Uncle Yu?"

 “No need.” Yu Chengwu looked calm.

The ink painting was a little strange, so he quietly asked Ji Qingbai:

"Is he always like this? He must be very popular."

 When others talk to him, he still ignores them.

Ji Qingbai looked a little complicated and said: "He usually talks a lot, but he has some issues with your father, so he probably doesn't want to talk to you."

“Have you ever had any issues with my father?”

This was unexpected by Mo Hua.

His father Mo Shan is a righteous man and is very popular among demon hunters. He rarely has trouble with others.

Mo Hua instantly thought of five or six possibilities based on the monk's love and hatred, and then asked Ji Qingbai for confirmation:

 “What kind of festival is this?”

"It's not a big deal." Ji Qingbai sighed slightly, "He is actually good at everything. He just likes to be competitive and can't beat your father, so he doesn't like him."

"That's it?" Mo Hua felt a little boring.

Yu Chengwu said with some displeasure: "What do children know?"

Mo Hua did not care about him, but asked: "Do you know me?"

Yu Chengwu glanced at him and said, "Mo Shan's son, of course I recognize him."

　Judging from his appearance, I must have known him for a long time.

Mo Hua recalled it for a while, and then said: "When Qian Xing was looking for trouble and Dazhu helped me fight, were you already watching from the sidelines?"

Yu Chengwu raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised, "Not bad."

"Then why didn't you stop it earlier?" Mo Hua asked doubtfully.

"When kids fight, what can I do?" Yu Chengwu said calmly, "Besides, your father is Mo Shan, so I don't care."

 “Then why did you take care of it later?”

"I don't care what happens when you fight. But the later monks of the Qian family intervened and bullied the casual cultivators, so I can't ignore it."

Mo Hua nodded, feeling that although he looked ugly, he was actually quite honest.

“Do you have a mace?” Mo Hua asked again.

Yu Chengwu was a little helpless, "Didn't you know just now that I have a problem with your father?"

 Why are you still asking him back and forth?

"You have issues with my father. That's your adults' business. What does it have to do with me?" Mo Hua said confidently.

Not to mention the way you celebrate the festival, even as a child, I feel a bit childish after seeing it...
