Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

"It's like this, I actually have a suspicion. If Brother Song is willing to listen, I can tell you now?" Shen Sanfeng looked directly at Yuchi, waiting for Yuchi's response.

Nodding, Yuchi said, "Do you want money?"

Shen Sanfeng: "..."

Brushing off the dust from his body, he stood up from the ground awkwardly and said, "I don't want money."

That's good then, Yuchi: "Please speak, friend."

You're kidding, right? Out here, people have hidden motives, let alone a man suddenly talking to me for no reason? Even kids know not to talk to strangers outside, and as a grown man, I follow that rule even more strictly. What if you have bad intentions towards me and I fall for your trap? What then?

It's necessary to stay cautious, this isn't just groundless paranoia.

Shen Sanfeng cleared his throat and said earnestly, "Friend, it might be that a woman has fallen into misfortune here, and for some reason she's trapped in this abyss. She's using this kind of magical treasure to attract other cultivators' attention to get us to help."

"So the situation before us is like a prisoner who is about to be sent to the execution grounds, throwing out gold and silver from the prison cart to ask someone to come and save her."

"But as bystanders, we can only see the gold and silver on the ground, not her plea for help. From her perspective, we look like scoundrels who take the money without doing anything."

Yuchi felt that this guy's words had hidden meaning, furrowing his brows slightly, he turned to Shen Sanfeng, "I wonder why a friend would make such a guess?"

"After all, she might be an innocent prisoner in the cart, but she could also be a hunter throwing out bait to lure prey."

"Cultivators are like the prey. If they can't resist this magical lure, they'll end up directly caught by the hunter."

At this point, Yuchi thought fishing might be a better metaphor. What if this woman is fishing? The treasures are like fishing bait, attracting the fish. If we dive into the cave, we'd bite right onto the hook.

Instantly turning into braised fish.

Shen Sanfeng nodded slowly, "So, friend, why don't we go down and take a look?"

"..."

Looking at Shen Sanfeng with an expression of disbelief, Yuchi couldn't understand this man at all.

First, I don't know him, and second, the situation is still shrouded in mystery.

In such circumstances, should the two of us go down and take a look? Are we wild? Are you the eldest or second child? We've only just met, like a man and a woman meeting by chance on the roadside, not even on a blind date.

And then a man asks a woman, "Where will we be buried after we die?"

How would a woman respond?

"Where you die is none of my business..."

Indeed.

Looking at the man next to him, Yuchi was utterly speechless, "Brother Shen, what makes you say such things? I can't understand how you're thinking about this at all."

With a mild glance at Yuchi, Shen Sanfeng said, "Just say it, it's fine, friend; you lack culture."

Oh, come on... Yuchi: "Damn it, tell me or not!"

To which Shen Sanfeng replied serenely,

"Because I think you should be a very formidable cultivator. Although I can't truly know your cultivation level, many things can be seen, and such things are called 'composure.' You approached this place very composedly, and even after hearing the woman's song, you were extremely calm."

"So your cultivation must be very strong. Facing this unchanged, observing the situation in the shadows, and ready to strike the enemy in one blow."

"Masters are like this, and so am I."

Are you kidding me...? Yuchi gave a wry smile as he looked at Shen Sanfeng. It was the first time he'd seen someone praise him like this, but since the other person said it, he responded earnestly, "Friend, let's put cultivation aside. If we have similar cultivation, there's no need for us to work together. What we cannot achieve alone, we might not be able to achieve together either, so cooperation is difficult."

"Why do you say that, friend?"

Hearing Yuchi's words, Shen Sanfeng hadn't caught up yet:

"I think going down together is better than going alone."

"Brother Song, don't tell me you came to such a place just to compete with these little disciples for scattered treasures, with no interest in the treasures in the abyss, because then I would despise you; I must have completely misjudged you."

He's morally blackmailing me, look, he's morally blackmailing me. Why can't I take scattered treasures like the little disciples? He's instantly taking the 'smart approach'... Feeling Shen Sanfeng's intense curiosity, Yuchi couldn't help but say bluntly, "Because the enemy's strength is uncertain."

Teaming up has a premise—the enemy's strength must be roughly known. Only by having a general idea of the opponent's strength does teaming up make sense.
