79 Hello, Do You Know About the Product of the Seven Stars Sect? (1/2)

The remark from the Village Head threw Wang Lu, this professional adventurer, into considerable confusion. This only made him particularly curious about everything that happened in the village.

“Village Head Grandpa, what happened?”

Hearing the three words “village head grandpa”, the look of regret on Wang Qi Nian’s face turned a bit thicker. Watching Wang Lu’s windblown dust face, he bitterly said, “Oh child, all these years… you have been led astray!”

Despite knowing that Wang Qi Nian was talking about a different thing, Wang Lu still felt somewhat distressed. “Damn it! Who says I am not?!”

“But fortunately, you’re in luck.” Wang Qi Nian revealed a “you can be rescued” look. “The Daoist Immortals of the Seven Stars Sect have recently come to the village, I think… We should be able to ask them to help you. Although you and that child Xiaohu doesn’t have a good relationship, considering the past nostalgic sentiment, he should be willing to come forward to help you.”

To Wang Lu, this remark was similar to as if he saw tens of millions of sheep and camels fly like doves and all of them rained down their excrement from the sky. However...

Seven Stars Sect? That illegal gang, and Wang Xiaohu?

Wang Lu calmed down and put his thoughts together. Suddenly, he remembered the duel on the Spirit Sword Mountain’s Cloud Tread Rooftop several months ago, and the thing that triggered that duel.

“... I think I probably understand what happened to the village.” Wang Lu inwardly sneered; he thought, “It really is the same. From the textbook, if the color of the energy is withered yellow, then this place might be haunted by demonic people, plaguing the villagers with suffering and misfortune. I initially worried that this might be a big devil or something, but it turns out they’re just a bunch of damn MLM swindlers selling fake medicine!”

He didn’t say these words to the old Village Head because, although the old man looked somewhat young, he was actually over seventy years old. What he thought was enough to impact his worldview; it would be a sin if the old man got a stroke because of this.

“Village Head Grandpa, when did these Daoist Immortals from the Seven Stars Sect come to the village?”

Seeing Wang Lu had turned serious and began to inquire the Seven Stars Sect affair, Wang Qi Nian thought that the youth had the tendency to turn a new leaf; his heart felt a great sense of relief.

Because, in accordance with the Seven Stars Sect’s Daoist Immortals’ argument, some deceived youngsters that were hoodwinked by a gang would become particularly stubborn and difficult to enlighten; even if they were killed, they would not admit their mistake. And Wang Lu who had gone to look for a faraway sect two years ago was likely to become such a victim.

However, in the end, he was a clever boy in the past, so he quickly came to his sense.

“Those Daoist Immortals came to our village two years ago. Speaking of which, it’s also thanks to that child Xiaohu. If he weren't talented and picked by the Daoist Immortals, our Wang Family Village wouldn’t have such a good fortune. These recent years, quite many people have been brought closer to the path of Immortality by the Daoist Immortals. Haha, in the whole Great Ming Country, we’re the only village who is this lucky.”

While Wang Qi Nian was blabbering about the Seven Stars Sect several years of achievements, Wang Lu interrupted him, “Who are all the people that they brought to the Immortal Path?”

Wang Qi Nian said, “It goes without saying that it include Wang Dafu. And the others are, Wang Tiezhu, Wang Laogen, Wang Shanyao… In short, it’s around seven or eight individuals.”

Wang Lu inwardly sneered. “What a clever move, all those men are the village’s wealthiest people! The only exception is Wang Shanyao, but his pretty daughter is precisely the dream girl of Wang Xiaohu that he had tried to pursue for many years!”

“Tsk, tsk, this is too unscrupulous. But, it’s also because this Wang Family Village is too remote, so the villagers are too naive to recognize it. If this is in another place, they would’ve long been exposed!”

“Then, what about my dad?”

As the village’s wealthiest man, he should be their best target, no?

Wang Qi Nian began to sigh. “Little Wang Lu, your dad… Initially, by the Daoist Immortals assessment, he indeed seems like a predestined person, unfortunately, the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks.”

“Did Wang Xiaohu make things difficult for him?

Upon hearing his accusation, Wang Qi Nian became angry. “Why didn’t you learn something good in your two years wandering outside instead of bringing negative prejudice! Although you and Wang Xiaohu often clashed in opinions in the past, he had never blamed you in front of those Daoist Immortals! On the contrary, when the Daoist Immortals found out that you left the village to pay respect on another Daoist Immortal two years ago, the Seven Stars Sect’s Daoist Immortals plan to give up on your father, even so much as to abandon the village altogether. But it was Xiaohu’s words that change their mind so that things turned for the better!”

“Oh, so that’s what happened.” A faint smile has floated on Wang Lu’s face.

He thought, “No wonder all the way here, the villagers looked at me with a strange look. They actually think I am the one who has been deceived by a sect, which almost implicated my dad and even the village. Thus, they saw me with a look of disgust, but at the same time, they also saw me as a victim and looked at me with sympathy… I really want to thank Wang Xiaohu for his kind words, hahaha!”

“Then I have to give my many thanks to Xiaohu.”

“Ai, it’s good that you know… Initially, your dad didn’t have the predestined fate with the Seven Stars Sect, but because little Xiaohu persuaded them over and over, the Daoist Immortals finally acknowledge your dad as a supporter. It was also because of Xiaohu’s advice that they agreed to promote your dad be the candidate, but only after your dad built a building for the Daoist Immortals…”

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu could not help but interrupt. “Building!?”

“It’s the place for the Daoist Immortals and their disciples to stay. Although there are many vacant rooms in our village, how could these worn out house befit those Daoist Immortals? Therefore…”

“Village Head Grandpa, how much do you think is the cost?”

“Only your dad knows the exact numbers, but it should be around three to five hundred thousand taels of silver.”

Wang Lu was stunned. “Three to five hundred thousand!? Are they going to build a city!?”

“This is basically the abode of the Immortals, how could we measure it with our mortal’s standard? All of the materials must be carefully selected!”

Wang Lu sneered. “Yeah, because the villagers’ eyesight is inadequate, the Seven Stars Sect had to use their own people to select the construction materials, just as long as my dad provide the money.”
