Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 73 – Ace Spy Hou Yixiao
Gu Feng and a group of witch cultivators stood in a standoff for quite some time.
The cave dwelling was so quiet that you could hear a heartbeat.
Suddenly, a witch servant rushed into the cave dwelling in a panic. He glanced at the tense crowd inside and was momentarily at a loss. Seeing Ji Xuanming sitting calmly on a large chair, he suddenly remembered something.
He quickly knelt down and reported, "Young Village Master, Tuoba Zhu, the White Tiger Cave's attending witch, is outside seeking an audience, claiming to have urgent matters to report."
Gu Feng raised an eyebrow, quickly pondering in his mind.
Tuoba Zhu?
Isn't that fat Hou Yixiao! And what kind of power is this White Tiger Cave that suddenly popped up?
This guy's doing quite well! He even managed to get an official position as an attending witch. I wonder what rank it is and how much power he holds.
Speaking of which, this fat guy is indeed talented. In just a few dozen days, he's managed to make a name for himself in this unfamiliar and eerie place.
He's practically a top-notch spy!
Luckily, he arrived just in time; otherwise, Gu Feng couldn't guarantee he would have held back for much longer!
Amused at the thought, Gu Feng remained calm and decided to watch how things unfolded.
Ji Xuanming silently regulated the injuries within his body. Hearing the witch servant's report, he sighed and gestured, "Let him in!"
Before long, Hou Yixiao, transformed into Tuoba Zhu, swaggered into the cave dwelling. He wore a short purple-gold embroidered robe, stepped in cloud-white tiger boots, and a bright silver crown on his head, exuding an air of nobility.
Upon seeing Ji Xuanming, Hou Yixiao bowed deeply, "Attending Witch Tuoba Zhu, pays respects to the Young Village Master."
Before Ji Xuanming could respond, Hou Yixiao turned to glance at Gu Feng. The two exchanged a look, and Gu Feng transmitted a message, "You fat rascal, you're doing well! Dressed in gold and silver, I almost didn't recognize you. What's your position now? Oh, attending witch! Greetings, Attending Witch!"
"You're joking, Sequence. I'm doing all this for you! As soon as I heard the Jiang family caravan was taken to Moonwatching Cave, I immediately sought permission from the White Tiger Village Master to come and assist you!"
Gu Feng replied, "Well, at least you have a conscience and haven't forgotten your roots! First, help us settle down in the Witch's Village, then we can plan our next steps."
"Rest assured, Sequence, I've been plotting this all along. We're just bluffing..."
Secretly discussing strategies, the two, both crafty and ruthless, quickly reached a consensus.
Nodding in mutual understanding, Hou Yixiao feigned surprise upon seeing Gu Feng, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Mr. Gu! How are you here?"
Gu Feng chuckled and quickly responded, "Brother Tuoba, you had me searching high and low for you!"
Bai Jugu observed quietly, sensing something amiss, but since Gu Feng was orchestrating this act, he naturally wouldn't expose their charade.
Ji Xuanming was also a bit puzzled at this moment. He hesitated and asked, "Attending Witch Tuoba, do you know this Mr. Gu?"
Hou Yixiao pulled Gu Feng over, pointing at him with a face full of joy, and said, "Young Village Master, when I returned to the Witch's Village, I mentioned to everyone that the extraordinary person from the Eastern Region was none other than Mr. Gu!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xuanming felt a massive headache.
Tuoba Zhu was originally a spy sent by the Witch's Village to Yong'an City in the Eastern Region.
Half a month ago, his term ended, and he returned to the Witch's Village.
Typically, small roles like this were abundant in the White Tiger Witch's Village, not enough to catch Ji Xuanming's attention.
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Zhu seemed like a changed man, not only generous but also quite wealthy.
In just a few dozen days, he used spirit stones to open up connections throughout the Witch's Village and earned Ji Qin's favor, being exceptionally promoted to an attending witch of Ji Qin's White Tiger Cave.
Tuoba Zhu even presented a large batch of superior grade spirit stones to the Village Master Ji Qin, explaining their origin, claiming they were gifts from a cultivator he befriended while serving in the Eastern Region.
This person was deeply cultivated, meticulous, and had participated in hundreds of battles between the Eastern Region and the Southern Barbarians, a rare talent in leadership.
Tuoba Zhu said he had to exert tremendous effort to persuade this cultivator to agree to bring his retainers to join them.
To contribute to the White Tiger Witch's Village's unification of the entire border.
For years, due to hardships, witch cultivators from the Witch's Village often sought refuge with cultivation forces in the Eastern Region, but it was rare for cultivators from the Eastern Region to seek refuge with the Witch's Village!
Moreover, Tuoba Zhu's exaggerated praise of this cultivator piqued Ji Qin's immense interest.
In recent years, the White Tiger Witch's Village had become increasingly aggressive, frequently warring with the other three major Witch's Villages over limited cultivation resources at the Northern Wilderness border!
Additionally, a hundred years ago, the Nine Tribulations Witch King descended forcefully, superficially subduing the four major Witch's Villages, but aside from reaping benefits, he never cared about the overt and covert struggles between them.
This further led to the Village Masters of the four major Witch's Villages harboring ulterior motives, eager to annex each other's territories to dominate alone.

At this moment, the White Tiger Witch's Village was in desperate need of talent!
At this critical juncture, a powerful cultivator from the Eastern Region was undoubtedly a coveted asset!
Upon learning of this, Ji Qin immediately ordered that this cultivator from the distant Eastern Region be treated with great respect in the future.
Yet, just a few days later, he fainted in the cave dwelling due to continuous blood and energy decline, his life hanging by a thread, with little time left.
Ji Xuanming had practically forgotten about this matter, never expecting to make such a blunder today.
The deeply cultivated Mr. Gu before him was the Eastern Region cultivator recommended by Tuoba Zhu!
Ji Xuanming knew well how important this person was in his father Ji Qin's eyes.
He was quite straightforward, seeing that the situation was somewhat irreparable, he simply avoided discussing the previous matter with Gu Feng and changed the topic, "Well... Attending Witch Tuoba, why are you here at Moonwatching Cave instead of on duty at White Tiger Cave?"
Hou Yixiao nodded slightly and immediately said, "By the Village Master's order, this year's trade matters with the Jiang family caravan will still be fully handled by Third Young Master Ji Wenxuan. From now on, please have the Jiang family caravan move to Evernight Cave!"
"What!?"
Ji Xuanming gritted his teeth, nearly smashing the table in front of him with a palm.
He couldn't understand why his dying father would entrust such an important and lucrative trade matter with the caravan to that lowly bastard!

Trembling with anger, Ji Xuanming suppressed his urge to explode and quietly asked, "Did my father really instruct this?"
Knowing that this notorious tyrant was seething with anger, Hou Yixiao remained unafraid and nodded, "Even if I had a thousand lives, I wouldn't dare to falsely convey the Village Master's decree. It's absolutely true!"
Ji Xuanming abruptly stood up, his gaze filled with venom as he looked at Gu Feng and Bai Jugu. At this moment, he wished he could order the Jiang family caravan to be slaughtered on the spot!
If he couldn't have it, he'd rather destroy it himself than let Ji Wenxuan, that bastard, benefit!
"If it's Father's wish, take them both away!"
Slowly turning his back to the crowd, Ji Xuanming waved his hand angrily, "Get out! Before I change my mind!"
