When Jiang Zhou saw him like this, he knew that with his character, he would definitely not act like this unless there was something truly unspeakable.

At the moment, he just smiled and did not continue to speak out.

But the more he acted like this, the more Lin Shushu felt embarrassed.

Looking at the bitter look on Huang Bai's face, he sighed and said:

"Huang Bai, it's not because the sect wants to be mean to you and other outer disciples, but... the situation is like this."

He paused and continued: "You haven't been here for a long time, but you don't know that it started decades ago."

"There are various sects in the world, but some foresights have been consuming resources since decades ago, refining various elixirs, magic weapons, and cultivating disciples,"

"Therefore, in the past few decades, there have been more outstanding disciples from the younger generations than ever before,"

"In the past few years, I have begun to use my foundation, completely let go of all scruples, and go all out to develop. I have even secretly refined countless Dharma-protecting Taoist soldiers."

"Thousands of years of foundation have all exploded in just a few years..."

When Jiang Zhou heard this, he suddenly said: "No wonder your cultivation level has soared so much. Is it possible that this is the reason for your success?"

Lin Shushu said disdainfully: "I am born to be extraordinary, how can I be someone who only relies on external forces?"

Jiang Zhou pouted: "Just say it, right?"

"..."

Lin Shushu was silent for a moment, and finally reluctantly said: "Although this is indeed the reason, after all, I am born to be extraordinary..."

Jiang Zhou waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, I understand."

What is extraordinary talent?

No matter how talented you are, if you don't have resources, you're just useless.

Experts must rely on resources.

So does he himself.

He has more resources than ordinary people can imagine, so in just two years, he has gone from a weakling with no power to a third-grade real person who is rare in the world.

For the first time, Lin Shushu felt that this person was so bad and disgusting!

But there was nothing he could do, so he had to ignore him and said to Huang Bai: "In the past two years, the sect has been refining jade bone swordsmen, which has been very expensive, so the annual tribute has indeed increased a lot."

"The reason behind this is not a good idea, but it is also for the continuation of the sect in the future. I am not trying to be mean to you, so you should be considerate."

Jiang Zhou glanced at Lin Shushu. Although he didn't say anything further, Jiang Zhou could already hear some of his words.

As he said, the immortal sects in the world began to exert their strength dozens of years ago, and in recent years they have even "exploded their troops" vigorously. Why?

Just fighting for the "artifact" for today's big game of chess?

Somehow, the words spoken by Buddha Palm not long ago before he fell into a deep sleep flashed through Jiang Zhou's mind.

"Be careful...catastrophe..."

Not mentioning Jiang Zhou's thoughts, Huang Bai did not show any complaints or dissatisfaction upon hearing this, or even if he did, he did not dare to express them.

He just nodded and said, "Yes, I have received great favor from the sect, so how can I complain?"

"The disciple said this, not to complain, but to let the sword master understand that the disciple is indeed in trouble now, and it is helpless to stay here."

He hesitated for a moment, then continued with a bit of fear: "To be honest with the sword master, this disciple has been doing business for many years and has quite a lot of savings, but not long ago, a strange thing happened..."

"Because of this weird thing, not only all my savings were wiped out, but...even..."

He hesitated for a long time, still unable to say anything.

This made Lin Shushu impatient and said: "What exactly? Don't hesitate!"

Huang Bai was shocked and said quickly: "Even the annual tribute prepared this year is... also..."

Lin Shushu understood, and his face darkened: "But Sui Gong was stolen?"

He was not angry because Huang Bai lost his annual tribute, but because someone dared to break ground on Yujian City.

Huang Bai closed his eyes and said simply: "It's not that it was stolen, but that group of annual tributes ran away on their own!"

"What?"

Lin Shushu frowned, thinking that he had heard something wrong.

"Run away by yourself?"

Jiang Zhou also regained his composure and looked over.

"He did run away on his own."

Huang Bai said with a bitter smile.

Even for an immortal sect like Jade Sword City who is used to seeing monsters, this matter is indeed still a bit unbelievable.

Lin Shushu said: "Did someone use a moving technique? Or was it a ghost move?"

Huang Bai shook his head: "Although my disciple is not a good student, I have seen such strange arts before, but it doesn't look like this."

"The sword master doesn't know that the disciples live here, and the strange things that happen don't stop there. They need to be told from the beginning."

Lin Shushu said impatiently: "You tell me, I want to see what kind of rat this young master is. He even dares to touch things in my Jade Sword City."

"yes."

Huang Bai responded and started talking from the beginning.

"At the beginning, Na Yazi reminded his disciples that this was a haunted house."

"This villa has been around for a long time. No one knows exactly when or who built it. It's just that he acquired it from a merchant."

"He has sold several people to him, but without exception, after they moved in, strange things happened frequently, and several people died. They didn't dare to live anymore, so they all moved away."

"The disciple didn't take it to heart at the time. He thought that he had learned art in Jade Sword City and had some strange people under his command, so he should be able to handle it..."

When Huang Bai said this, he smiled bitterly: "But on the first night when the disciple lived in the village, the disciple held a banquet in the village to entertain guests to celebrate the move."

"During the banquet, a disciple suddenly came to report that an old woman came outside and insisted on seeing the disciple."

"The disciple thought it was an old woman, so he went out to meet the old woman, but he didn't know the old woman."

"But when the old woman saw the disciple, she asked him, since there was a banquet, why didn't she invite her?"

"The disciple just thought she was a village woman from somewhere and wanted to get some luck, so she didn't argue with her. However, the banquet was full of relatives and friends of the disciple, so it was not convenient for her to go in, so he ordered his servants to prepare a banquet of wine and food.

They were all wrapped up and given to her to take away."

"Unexpectedly, when this old woman accepted the food and wine, she cursed the disciple and said that for treating her so indifferently, the disciple would be in trouble in the future."

"It is even more clear that the property in the disciple's home will be taken away from the disciple."

When Lin Shushu heard this, his eyes flashed: "Is this the old woman who stole Sui Gong? Do you know where she is?"

Huang Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of the sword master's jokes. I really don't know if this woman stole the annual tribute."

"It's just that after the old woman left, although the disciple didn't believe it, he asked people to send more people every night to take care of the property in the house, especially the annual tribute in the treasury."

"Until not long ago, one night, someone at home saw a group of people, all wearing green clothes and riding green horses. They came from nowhere and passed by the gate of the manor. Soon, they disappeared into the night."

"Not long after, another group of men and horses, dressed in white clothes and riding white horses, passed by the door again, but there was still no sound, and then they drove away."

"After a while, another group of people, wearing yellow clothes and riding yellow horses, passed by the door, but they opened their mouths and asked my servants about their name... Where is Wang Ping's home?

"

"The team left again without getting an answer."
