Looking at Yan Xu, who had been killed by Ji Xuanyue, Mo You suddenly turned his head and said to Zhu Fei, "I’ve heard that disciples taken in by the Bright Moon Sect all undergo the process of severing mundane ties."
Hearing this from Mo You, Zhu Fei was momentarily stunned, and then his brow furrowed.
As the former number one Pill God and a ruler of a realm, he naturally understood what severing mundane ties meant.
To sever mundane ties meant to cut off all connections with the mundane world of your past.
During this process, there would be designated individuals who would go on to kill everyone related to you, including your parents, and even your brothers and sisters, and even your memories of them would be completely sealed.
To be truthful, Zhu Fei found such practices quite repugnant.
And judging by Ji Xuanyue’s demeanor just a while ago, her sealed memories seemed to have been restored, and she had learned of the person who had severed her mundane ties in the past.
No wonder she didn’t show the slightest intention of holding back when killing Yan Xu earlier - she was merciless.
However, what Zhu Fei found somewhat puzzling was, why was Mo You bringing up things related to Ji Xuanyue at this time? Could it be that he wanted to join forces with him to use this information as leverage against the current Ji Xuanyue?
Thinking this, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but cast a doubtful glance at Mo You.
Even though he admitted he was no saint, he could not bring himself to use such profoundly vulnerable human feelings as a bargaining chip to control Ji Xuanyue.
Spotting Zhu Fei looking at him, Mo You was about to speak when, at that moment, Ji Xuanyue’s "giggle" could be heard, resounding right then.
"Hehe, Brother Mo You, speaking ill of someone behind their back, especially about old wounds, that’s not a very good thing to do."
With her words falling, Ji Xuanyue, surrounded by swirling ribbons, barefooted, and standing atop a full moon, appeared playfully right in front of the two men.
She first gave Mo You a displeased look, then turned to Zhu Fei with a cheerful giggle,
"Brother Zhu Fei is the nicest to me, unlike some others who lack even a shred of a gentleman’s grace."
Zhu Fei was speechless, thinking to himself, even if you’re handing out ’nice guy’ cards, don’t pin them on me. I’m no saint, and I have nothing to do with the likes of gentlemen.
He coughed twice and then turned to look seriously at the two, saying,
"You two must already be aware of the situation here, so I won’t beat around the bush. After this, I want eighty percent of the stuff here, any objections?"
What Zhu Fei was referring to was the Hollow Jade Mine, and it wasn’t because he wanted to give up what he had in hand, but rather the situation at hand was a delicate one, and he couldn’t afford to take it all for himself.
After all, he had already offended three major sects: the Fire Cloud Sword Sect, Wind God Valley, and Shushan Sword Sect.
If he were to also make mortal enemies of both the Demon Evil Sect and Bright Moon Sect, he might soon face a situation similar to when he first arrived in the Kunlun Xuan Realm, where he was wanted and hunted down, with no allies to align with.
But if he could take this opportunity to bring Ji Xuanyue and Mo You to his side, even if those three sects continued to trouble him later, he would have a little more room to maneuver.
At least, neither of them would want the major secret of the Hollow Jade Mine to be known to anyone beyond the three of them.
However, Zhu Fei’s demand for an eighty percent share still made it difficult for them to accept.
Ji Xuanyue and Mo You looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "Eighty percent is too much, forty percent."
Seeing the two of them chop off half their share as soon as they spoke, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but smile.
"Heh, this is what you brought upon yourselves. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for making some minor moves."
Thinking to himself, Zhu Fei outright refused with his words: "No way! At most, I will give up another ten percent. You must know, the spatial barrier here was broken by me, and furthermore..."
As he said this, Zhu Fei squinted at the yellow mist and continued, "Furthermore, to break through this natural prohibition, I think you probably can’t do without me, right?"
"Also, there’s one more thing..." While speaking, Zhu Fei turned his gaze toward Ji Xuanyue.
"Brother Mo You previously promised to give me the Demon Evil Puppet Skill. I wonder, Fairy Xuan Yue, what do you plan to offer as a basis for our deal?"
What he implied was that Mo You had already offered a bargaining chip earlier, and now, Fairy Xuan Yue, did you also need to show something in return?
Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Ji Xuanyue was first slightly startled, then she "giggle" laughed out loud.
"Hehe, I was wondering what it was. Turns out Brother Zhu Fei is talking about this matter."
No sooner had her words fallen than a group of smoky-looking glazed liquid suddenly appeared in Ji Xuanyue’s jade hands.
Seeing this smoky-looking glazed liquid, both Zhu Fei and Mo You’s eyelids twitched slightly.
Both were knowledgeable people. With just one look, they recognized that what Ji Xuanyue had taken out was nothing else but the Glazed Illusion Water, which could be used to refine a substitute!
"Hehe, Brother Zhu Fei, I don’t think I need to introduce this item, do I? How about it? Can it serve as the foundation for our trade?"
Saying so, Ji Xuanyue did not hide it; she directly flicked her jade hand and tossed the Glazed Illusion Water straight to Zhu Fei.
Mo You took a deep look at Ji Xuanyue. Then he took a deep breath, no longer keeping to himself, and with a flick of his hand, he too tossed a black Jade Scroll to Zhu Fei.
The content of this black Jade Scroll was precisely the Demon Evil Puppet Skill that Zhu Fei wanted!
"Brother Zhu Fei, this isn’t our first time cooperating. How about it? Let’s make it simple. You take sixty percent of the items inside, and Brother Mo You and I each take twenty percent, alright?"
Ji Xuanyue proposed her final distribution plan only after Zhu Fei had put away the items.
Her face was as charming as a painting, and she watched Zhu Fei with a smile, making him feel somewhat embarrassed.
The reason was nothing else but the fact that Zhu Fei had already tampered with everything within the natural prohibition in advance.
No matter what, Ji Xuanyue and Mo You would never have guessed that Zhu Fei could have the ability to get a head start on the objects within the prohibition right in front of them.
But outwardly, Zhu Fei showed no sign of disturbance.
After musing for a moment, he finally nodded, "Alright, we’ll agree to that. However, I must state upfront that no one, neither you nor I, can easily disclose this matter."
"Hehe, naturally," Ji Xuanyue replied with a smile.
"I have no problem with that either," Mo You nodded slightly at this time.
Seeing this, Zhu Fei no longer hesitated; with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen Array Flags were buried into different positions within the yellow mist.
Moments later, as the yellow mist began to stir, this so-called natural prohibition was finally completely broken by Zhu Fei! Revealing the true face hidden inside!
