The Good-for-Nothing's Counterattack: Full-time Spiritual Master

Gu Li nodded gently and said calmly: "Well, I accept your thanks, you can leave."

However, Shen Qingchu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't seem to expect Gu Li to end the conversation so abruptly. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Why don't you ask us why we have a grudge against Yin Yang Pavilion?"

Gu Li shook his head disapprovingly and said, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

Mu Yunxi also echoed: "We went to Yinyang Pavilion not to avenge you, but to avenge our people."

Gu Li looked calm, and said softly to Gu Er, "Little Erzi, send them out of the city."

When Shen Qingchen heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Wait, we want to follow you."

Gu Li raised his eyes slightly and asked simply, "Reason."

Shen Qingchen took a deep breath and explained, "We have nowhere to go. It doesn't matter where we are."

Gu Li looked them up and down and asked, "What use are you?"

They are short of people, but they don't want just anyone, and she's not doing charity.

When Shen Qingchu heard this, a blush suddenly appeared on his face. After hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to speak: "We have pure Yin constitutions, which can increase your cultivation speed. We are willing to be yours."

"Go to hell! How dare you covet my young master!" Upon hearing this, Gu Er kicked Shen Qingchu and Shen Qingchen away fiercely.

Shen Qingchu and Shen Qingchen fell to the ground and coughed violently several times.

They also didn't expect the man's reaction to be so intense.

Gu Er became angrier the more he thought about it, and was ready to step forward and kick him a few more times.

Seeing this, Gu Li rubbed his forehead helplessly and shouted in a loud voice: "Little Erzi, come back."

"Little Lord!"

Gu Li comforted him: "Be good, let them finish their words first."

Gu Er reluctantly retreated back to Gu Li and glared at them fiercely.

Gu Li looked at the slightly embarrassed twins on the ground and said, "Is there something you need me to help you with?"

Shen Qingchu raised his head slightly, looked at Gu Li, and nodded.

Gu Li slowly said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Shen Qingchu sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "We want to go to the North, but with our strength, we simply cannot survive there."

Gu Li asked curiously, "What are you going to do in the North?"

Shen Qingchu's eyes softened, filled with longing, and he whispered, "Look for my mother."

Gu Li frowned slightly: "Speak more carefully."

Shen Qingchen took over the conversation and said in a low voice: "My mother is the daughter of the He family in the northern border. She was taken away by the He family a year ago. Not long after, our family was wiped out by the Yin Yang Pavilion."

Mu Yunxi was a little confused when she heard this: "Is there someone behind Yin Yang Pavilion?"

Shen Qingchu nodded silently, confirming Mu Yunxi's guess.

Gu Li pondered for a moment, then said: "I can accept you, but I have conditions. I also want to make it clear to you that we will not go to the North so soon."

Shen Qingchu asked anxiously: "How long will it take for you to head to the North?"

Gu Li shook his head: "Not sure, but at least I won't go in the short term."

They haven't gained a firm foothold in the southern border yet, and it would be unsafe for them to rashly head to the northern border with their current level of cultivation.

Although Shen Qingchu was somewhat disappointed, he also understood that what Gu Li said was true, so he asked, "What are your conditions?"

Gu Li said with a firm look, "First, we need to build a power in the southern border, and we are short of manpower. Since you want to follow me, you must work hard for this goal. Second, you must swear an oath to the devil in your heart and never betray us. This is the bottom line."

Shen Qingchu asked in surprise: "You want to build a power here?"

He didn't seem to have expected that Gu Li's ambition was so great that he actually wanted to establish his own power in this southern border.

Gu Li smiled slightly and asked, "Why else would I attack Yin Yang Pavilion?"

Shen Qingchu frowned and said worriedly: "Do you know how many Yuanjing are needed to rebuild a city and the initial expenses?"

Gu Li waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "This is not something you should worry about."

Shen Qingchu and Shen Qingchen looked at each other, thought silently for a while, then gritted their teeth and said in unison: "We agree."

They knew that even if they went to the North now, they would not be able to rescue their mother from the He family with their strength. So they might as well take a gamble and follow her, perhaps there would still be a chance.

Gu Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Swear!"

Soon, Shen Qingchu and Shen Qingchen solemnly swore an oath to their inner demons.

Gu Li watched them finish their oaths, then turned to Gu Er and said, "Little Erzi, take them two down first."

Although Gu Er was still somewhat reluctant, he still responded respectfully, "Yes."

Then he took Shen Qingchu and Shen Qingchen away.

After they all left, Mu Yunxi looked at Gu Li and said jokingly, "We've offended a faction before we even got to the northern border."

Gu Li smiled with a relaxed look on his face and said, "It's okay. The North Territory is very far away from here. They can't come directly to attack us. We have enough time to develop."

After a while, Su Yiyu and the others came back happily.

Mu Yunxi couldn't wait to ask, "How was the harvest?"

Feng Wuhen smiled and said, "It's pretty good. There are not many Yuanjing, only 50 million, but there are many treasures. I can sell them."

Although the number of Yuan Crystals did not meet expectations, the value of those treasures was immeasurable and enough to make up for the shortage of Yuan Crystals.

Gu Li changed the subject and asked, "What should our faction be called?"

Su Yiyun's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "How about Tianxia City? It's invincible in the world!"

Mu Yunxi rolled her eyes at him and said teasingly, "Why don't you talk about the Invincible City?"

Su Yiyun scratched his head and smiled: "It's not impossible."

Xi Zihan pondered for a moment and then said, "How about the Star Region?"

When Gu Li heard this, his heart moved and he murmured, "Hmm? It seems not bad."

Xi Zihan went on to explain: "Each of us is the brightest being in the darkness."

Lin Yuchen listened and clapped his hands: "This is good, I like it."

Feng Wuhen also nodded and said, "I agree."

Mu Yunxi also smiled and said, "I agree."

Although Su Yiyun felt a little disappointed, he still said, "I will definitely be the most dazzling one."

Gu Li looked at everyone and said, "Then this is it, the Star Region."

Gu Li said calmly: "Give me all the Yuan Crystals. I will ask Xiao Yizi and the others to find someone to build it. We will go to other places and exchange these things for Yuan Crystals."
