"Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for your help. I am grateful to you!"

Wei Hong clasped his hands and clasped his fists, obviously very grateful to Zhu Ming.

If it were someone else, knowing that he had offended the Cao family, I don't know whether he would immediately cut off ties with him, but at least he would never do such a thing as helping him in times of need.

Therefore, Wei Hong naturally had to keep Zhu Ming's favor in mind.

Zhu Ming waved his hand and said, "Well, it's just politeness. This is just a piece of cake for me!"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhu, there's no need to be so modest. I've got it all in mind!" Wei Hong laughed loudly, then immediately extended his hand to invite him, "Come on, Fellow Daoist Zhu, please come this way. Let's go to the courtyard to talk."

"Okay, please come in, Brother Wei!"

Zhu immediately followed Wei Hong and quickly returned to the courtyard.

The two of them sat down at the stone table in the yard. Wei Hong immediately brewed a pot of spiritual tea, poured a cup for Zhu Ming, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, come, have a cup of spiritual tea first."

Zhu Ming smiled and nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

After he put down the teacup, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag and placed it on the table, then said to Wei Hong: "Daoyou Wei, this is the information about the Cao family you want, it's all in it!"

This jade slip contains the detailed information about the Cao family that Zhu Ming purchased from the Tianji Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, Wei Hong didn't even look at the jade slip, but put it directly into his storage bag, then asked, "Thank you very much, how many spirit stones did you spend? I will return it to Fellow Daoist Zhu right away."

"Not much, just ten medium-grade spirit stones!" Zhu Ming said casually.

"Haha, it's really not much. Come, Fellow Daoist Zhu, keep it. If it weren't for your help this time, it wouldn't have been so easy for Wei to get this information!"

Wei Hong immediately took out ten medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and pushed them in front of Zhu Ming, expressing his gratitude once again.

Speaking of this, Zhu Ming put away the spirit stone and looked at Wei Hong excitedly, saying with a smile: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei, you don't know that you have become very famous among us deacons. Recently, many people have been talking about you, and they all say that you are ruthless enough to kill two members of the Cao family in one go, including Cao Jiang, who is at the fifth level of foundation building. I really admire you!"

Wei Hong gave a bitter smile when he heard this. He was sure that Zhu Ming had no other intentions, but he did not expect the matter to spread so quickly. It really made him helpless. This was not the result he wanted to see. But since the news had already spread, there was no point in hiding it.

He smiled bitterly and asked Zhu Ming: "Has the news spread? Was it spread by the Cao family?"

"Doesn't that mean that everyone thinks that I, Wei Hong, am the murderer who killed the Cao family members?"

Wei Hong originally wanted to handle the matter in a low profile, but he didn't expect to be directly exposed by the furious Cao family.

Zhu Ming looked at Wei Hong in surprise before answering, "Yes, this matter was indeed spread by the Cao family, and the Cao family has already announced that they will fight you to the death. There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation."

"Friend Wei, it has already happened. What's the point of denying it? You might as well admit it openly. Many people want to get to know you now!"

Zhu Ming was a little confused as to why Wei Hong didn't want to admit it.

In fact, he already knew from the moment Wei Hong asked him for help that the deaths of Cao Jiang and Cao Zhen were definitely related to Wei Hong.

At this time, Zhu Ming thought of the fact that Wei Hong had never been defeated in previous competitions with others, and he became even more certain about this matter.

However, Wei Hong sighed with regret and said with a helpless smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. The Cao family has determined that I am the murderer and has even threatened to fight me to the death. In this case, Wei can only be forced to protect himself."

"Since there is no possibility of reconciliation, Wei doesn't mind killing a few more members of the Cao clan."

At this point, Wei Hong's eyes unconsciously flashed with a hint of cold murderous intent.

Then he continued to say to Zhu Ming: "It's just that getting to know fellow Taoists is something that I'm afraid won't be possible in the short term. I dare not leave this spiritual plant garden in the near future. The Cao family's people should be squatting outside!"

Since the news has spread, Wei Hong was too lazy to say anything more. Anyway, the Cao family regarded him as their mortal enemy, so he just needed to find a way to deal with the Cao family.

Even if he couldn't solve the problem of the Cao family, at least he couldn't make the Cao family dare to provoke him again.

Now he is not taken seriously by the Cao family, but Wei Hong has plenty of time. He only needs to stay in the spiritual plant garden and smile bitterly. Sooner or later, he will reach a point where the Cao family dare not provoke him. At that time, this matter will naturally be solved.

Zhu Ming didn't know what Wei Hong was thinking at the moment, but he was also shocked by his powerful spirit. He immediately said, "Daoyou Wei is indeed an extraordinary person. Haha, I really admire you."

"Alas, it's all helpless. Fellow Daoist Zhu, you're overpraising me."

Wei Hong waved his hand, and then seemed to remember something, and immediately said to Zhu Ming: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, next time you come here to collect the spiritual rice, I hope you will be careful. The Cao family may be crazy and want to take it out on you, after all, you are too close to me."

Zhu Ming sneered at the words and said, "Take it out on me? It's not that I look down on the Cao family, but even if they have ten guts, they won't dare to attack me. Besides, I am the outer sect steward of the Immortal City, and I have no grudges against the Cao family. If they dare to attack me, maybe the whole Cao family will be buried with me. Fellow Daoist Wei, don't worry about this."

"By the way, I have already made arrangements with the higher-ups. I will still be the one collecting the spiritual rice from the No. 7 Spiritual Plant Garden in the back. Fellow Daoist Wei, don't worry. I will definitely not give the Cao family any chance to take advantage of them."

Wei Hong felt relieved when he heard this, knowing that Zhu Ming had understood what he meant, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Haha, thank you very much in that case."

"By the way, this bottle is the Zhengyang Pill, which was made by Wei himself. I am giving it to you as a thank you gift. I hope you won't despise it!"

After saying that, he took out a white jade bottle from his storage bag and placed it in front of Zhu Ming.

After seeing this, Zhu Ming waved his hands and said, "Hey, this is absolutely not allowed, Fellow Daoist Wei, I treat you as a close friend, what do you mean by this?"

As he said this, he glared at Wei Hong in pretended displeasure.

Wei Hong didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't refuse, Daoist friend. Although we are good friends, I will never let you work in vain. Moreover, this bottle of elixir was made by me personally, not bought from outside. It is not worth a few spirit stones. Daoist friend, just accept it without worry. Can a bottle of elixir affect the friendship between you and me?"

After hearing this, Zhu Ming happily accepted it: "Then I won't be polite. It just so happens that I want to practice hard during this period of time!"

"That's perfect. If you need elixirs in the future, just bring the materials to me and I will help you make elixirs for free!"

In order to repay Zhu Ming's favor, Wei Hong made a promise at this time.
