Chapter 2267: Chapter 2267: Give Us So Advice
“The question now is how to avoid this. It still requires so planning. If we say it outright, the only thing awaiting them is a dead end.”
“They are all loose cultivators from Wulong Mountain, with no sects and no influence or power to speak of. Opposing the Wen Family would bring them no benefit at all; they’ll have to seek protection elsewhere.”
“Mr. Wen, things have co to such a point. Could you help us think—what other options do we have to get into Jun Lin Hall?”
He turned his head and looked at Mr. Wen as he spoke.
Hearing this, Mr. Wen’s expression finally brightened a little, and he looked at the man who asked the question with a hint of satisfaction.
“That’s more like it. If you work well for the Wen Family, there will be rewards for you.” He raised his hand and patted the man’s shoulder, signaling his approval.
“Learn from this. A real man knows how to endure and adapt. What’s one failure? Pick yourselves up and try again, got it? If you’re persistent enough, do you think you’ll still fail to get into Jun Lin Hall?”
He wore a smug smile as his gaze swept across the crowd.
These people are nothing but lowlives. Unless you show them so toughness, they won’t even realize who allows them to survive on Wulong Mountain.
See? All it took was a harsh word, and they’re obedient now. Such spineless creatures.
He silently cursed them in his heart but failed to notice the glint of cunning that flashed in the eyes of the man whose shoulder he’d just patted—sothing that appeared only when Mr. Wen wasn’t looking.
The others didn’t look too pleased either, feeling that Mr. Wen might really be digging his own grave here.
They couldn’t understand it. Why not just kill soone like this outright? Why waste ti talking to him in kind words? Just the sight of it made them sick.
Still, they reasoned, if their companion decided to act congenial toward Mr. Wen, there must be a reason. They’d wait for the mont and swallow their grievances for now.
The group could only silently endure, planning to deal with Mr. Wen first and figure out their next steps after leaving the forest.
“Mr. Wen, so what now? Could you advise us on the next course of action?” The man being patted on the shoulder continued to press Mr. Wen.
“Simple. Tomorrow, go back to Jun Lin Hall. If they’re really willing to take you into Demon Heart Hall, then go. That way, they’ll trust you, and everything else will fall into place.”
Mr. Wen, seeing that they were starting to relent, gave them his advice.
He thought these people were complete fools. A chance to enter Demon Heart Hall had basically been handed to them, and they didn’t even know to seize it. If it had been him, he would’ve jumped at the opportunity imdiately.
With his silver tongue, he’d undoubtedly secure a spot there.
Once inside, whatever the Family Head wanted, how could he not obtain it? Even without relying on the Family Head anymore, simply borrowing the Demon Heart Hall’s reputation would let him make a na for himself outside.
Too bad he didn’t go himself. What a miscalculation.
“Really? Are you sure nothing bad will happen if we go?” soone asked.
“What could possibly go wrong?”
Mr. Wen glared at the person who raised the question, his expression resembling that of soone looking at an idiot.
“Don’t you know by now? Demon Heart Hall is currently short-staffed. If you make it in, the High Priest Demon Heart will definitely have use for you.”
Hearing his words, a flicker of change passed through everyone’s eyes.
If they could truly stay in Demon Heart Hall, even if it was just as a gatekeeper or a servant, they’d be willing to work diligently.
No longer would they have to be exploited by people like Mr. Wen ever again!
