Chapitre 175

"Don't worry, Master Linglongcao will find a solution. You are injured, so rest well."

Seeing that Zhang Junbao was a bit agitated, Li Boyang comforted him for a few moments until Zhang Junbao calmed down before leaving the hut.

Qiu Chuji had done him a great favor, and since he knew that the other party needed the Linglong Grass, he naturally couldn't stand idly by. He went to find Bai Langfei to see how the other party could part with it.

Chapter 132 Zhang Junbao's Wedding Robbery

When Li Boyang walked out of the hut.

In the village, a procession approached, led by a fiery wolf on horseback with a joyful expression, followed by a band playing gongs and drums, creating a lively atmosphere.

When Fire Wolf's gaze swept over Li Boyang, he nodded politely, clearly not recognizing him. Although the two had met a few years ago, so much time had passed that he had long forgotten about this man he had only met once.

Li Boyang didn't take it seriously and followed behind the fire wolf to the liveliest place in the village.

"Drink up, everyone! Let's all drink to our hearts' content today, and not leave until we're completely drunk!"

"You're too kind, Island Owner."

"Island Master, I'd like to offer you a toast."

Bai Langfei was seen drinking with his men, holding a large bowl.

"Father, is the auspicious time not yet?"

Fire Wolf rode up to Bai Langfei on horseback, his tone somewhat urgent.

"Haha, don't be impatient, kid. Haste makes waste. That girl is definitely yours, no doubt about it."

"Come on, have a couple of drinks with my men first. I'll call you when the auspicious time arrives."

Bai Langfei patted the fire wolf's shoulder affectionately, handed it the large bowl in his hand, and said with a cheerful smile.

Since recognizing Fire Wolf, these past few days have probably been the happiest days of his life. He himself didn't even realize that his personality had changed in such a short time.

If it were Bai Langfei before he recognized Huo Lang, and Li Boyang dared to force his way into Peach Blossom Island, Bai Langfei would definitely have taken action. However, after recognizing Huo Lang, he had more concerns and reservations, and he was no longer as reckless as before when considering things.

Fire Wolf took the large bowl, clinked it against the people at the table several times, and then said:

"Father, I'll go check on Xueying first. You keep drinking, and call me when you're done."

Bai Langfei gently patted the fire wolf on the back and laughed, "Go on, you're really impatient."

Li Boyang appeared in front of Bai Langfei after Huolang left.

Upon seeing Li Boyang, Bai Langfei exclaimed in surprise:

"Brother Li, would you like to have a drink with me?"

Li Boyang said calmly, "I won't drink any more wine. I have some things to discuss with Island Master Bai."

Bai Langfei frowned, put down the large bowl, and replied, "Brother Li, come with me."

It can be said that on Peach Blossom Island, the only person Bai Langfei was wary of was Li Boyang. Before they fought, he couldn't gauge the strength of his opponent and had to take him seriously.

Bai Langfei led Li Boyang to an empty room and then asked:

"Brother Li, you can tell me what it is now."

Li Boyang got straight to the point: "Island Master Bai, I've heard that Peach Blossom Island has the immortal herb Linglong, and I'd like to request one."

Bai Langfei frowned, somewhat embarrassed, but did not refuse directly. After considering it for a moment, he finally said, "I do have a few Linglong Grass plants. What will you offer in exchange?"

Both Li Boyang and Zhang Junbao came to ask for the Linglong Grass, but Bai Langfei's attitude towards Li Boyang was completely different from Zhang Junbao's. When Zhang Junbao came to ask, Bai Langfei directly refused without any room for negotiation.

In the end, Zhang Junbao had no choice but to take a risky approach and try to steal the Linglong Grass, but he was caught by Bai Langfei.

When Li Boyang spoke, Bai Langfei neither agreed nor refused outright, but instead proposed a deal. This was the difference that strength brought about.

The reason Bai Langfei treated him with such an equal attitude was because Li Boyang was someone of his caliber.

"Is a favor I, Li Boyang, do worth it?"

For someone like Bai Langfei to feel troubled, the Linglong Grass must be extremely precious, as Li Boyang directly offered a hefty price.

Bai Langfei was somewhat surprised, but asked suspiciously, "Brother Li, are you really going to exchange a favor for this?"

Only those who are also at the Qi Refining Realm know the value of a favor at that level; such a favor represents something within one's power and influence.

Bai Langfei wasn't worried about Li Boyang breaking his promise; experts in the Qi Refining Realm all had their own pride.

Li Boyang said calmly, "Words spoken are like water spilled on the ground."

Exchanging a favor for a single Linglong Grass might seem like a loss, but that's not actually the case. Li Boyang's favors have an expiration date; once he's no longer in the Wudang world, the other party won't be able to use them even if they wanted to.

Of course, if Bai Langfei used his favor while he was still in the Wudang world, he wouldn't refuse as long as it didn't violate his principles and was within his ability.

"Alright, Brother Li, go back first. I'll have someone send you the Linglong Grass right away."

"Thank you very much."

Having received Bai Langfei's reply, Li Boyang left satisfied.

It went much more smoothly than expected. In fact, he had already planned that if the other party refused, he would have to learn from Zhang Junbao. Although it would be a bit embarrassing, he wouldn't care.

Return to the cabin by the same route.
