Si Wuya smiled. “I’ve met that person before.”
“???” Zhu Honggong’s eyes widened.
Si Wuya brought out a mystic microstone from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Zhu Honggong scratched his head, confused. “Mystic microstone?”
“He promised to give master ten mystic microstones and ten stalks of mystic life gra.s.s. Unfortunately, he only found one mystic microstone so far. You know very well how much master hates those who don’t keep their promises. It’s best we wait for master’s decision…” Si Wuya said.
“Isn’t this just a rotten stone?” Zhu Honggong asked.
“Rotten stone? This thing is required to upgrade items to the infinite grade. Tower Master Xiao once cried to me for three days and three nights after losing them. You don’t know how precious this thing is…” Si Wuya rolled his eyes.
Zhu Honggong’s eyes lit up. “I think I’ve seen it somewhere before…”
“Don’t cause trouble.”
“No, I saw it in the yellow lotus domain! I’m not lying!” Zhu Honggong said.
Si Wuya asked, “Are you sure? This thing is very rare. Even if the yellow lotus domain has it, there can’t be too many of them…”
“No…” Zhu Honggong said solemnly, “There’s a lot…”
Si Wuya frowned. However, seeing Zhu Honggong’s solemn expression that indicated he was not joking, he thought for a moment before he called out to someone outside, “Someone, call Miss Zhao over!”
Zhu Honggong asked, puzzled, “Seventh Senior Brother, what are you doing?”
Si Wuya said, “If what you said is true, I’m sending you to the yellow lotus domain. You’re familiar with that place anyway. Bring Miss Zhao with you to build a runic pa.s.sage.”
Zhu Honggong smiled and nodded repeatedly. “Awesome! I promise to complete this mission!”
“The yellow lotus domain should be here…” Si Wuya pointed at the map he drew. “It’s very precise, but based on master’s ancient map, it shouldn’t be wrong. Bring the communication formation with you before you leave…”
“Alright,” Zhu Honggong replied happily.
How could Si Wuya be unaware of Zhu Honggong’s thoughts? He said, “Don’t dream about being a local tyrant there. The imbalance is very serious, and I can feel an unprecedented disaster is approaching. You have to treat this seriously.”
“I understand. Seventh Senior Brother, you’re too naggy…” Zhu Honggong said.
“Protect Zhao Hongfu well. There’s no time to lose. You should set off in two days…” Si Wuya said.
At this moment, a voice rang from outside.
“Mr. Seventh, can you come out for a chat?”
Si Wuya smiled and flew out. He hovered in the sky and looked at the cultivator outside of the Sky Martial Academy’s barrier.
Through Si Wuya, Lu Zhou clearly saw the newcomer. It was none other than Qin Naihe, the Free Man of the Qin clan.
Qin Naihe looked tired. It seemed like he had been busy during this period of time. Even his eyes looked bloodshot.
At this time, Qin Naihe asked suspiciously, “The Pavilion Master still isn’t around?”
“To tell you the truth, my master has gone to the Unknown Land and won’t be back so soon. Why don’t you stay here in the meantime and get some rest while you wait for my master’s return?” Si Wuya said with a smile.
“I knew that with the Pavilion Master’s ability, he won’t let this opportunity go. Most of the experts in the green lotus domain have gone to the Unknown Land to seek opportunities…” Qin Naihe said with a sigh.
Si Wuya said, “If there’s anything, you can speak to me…”
“Can you make the decisions?” Qin Naihe asked.
“Of course.” Si Wuya nodded.
Qin Naihe looked at Si Wuya and said, “After Young Master Qin died, the entire Qin clan views me as a traitor. If it’s possible, I’d like to ask the Pavilion Master to help me explain this matter. I believe Venerable Master Qin will understand my difficulties if the Pavilion Master speaks on my behalf.”
“Why don’t you explain yourself to him?” Si Wuya asked.
“I didn’t have a chance to meet him at all so far. A month ago, an elder from the Qin clan was sent to capture me. We fought for seven days and seven nights, barely fighting to a draw. Apart from Venerable Master Qin, everyone can’t wait for me to die,” Qin Naihe said helplessly.
“Then, have you ever thought that perhaps this is Venerable Master Qin’s intention?” Si Wuya asked.
Qin Naihe looked at Si Wuya. “You seem to like judging people with malice?”
Si Wuya was not bothered by these words. He rested his hands on his back and said, “The human heart is unpredictable. Only by judging others with malice would one survive in a world where the strong prey on the weak. You have 16 Birth Charts so you should know this better than me…”
Qin Naihe sighed. “You’re right, but I believe that Venerable Master Qin isn’t like this. It’s just like how you believe in Pavilion Master Lu…” Qin Naihe said.
Si Wuya could refute these words.
Indeed, there were many dark things in this world, but the sun could dispel the darkness.
Si Wuya finally said, “You failed to fulfill your promise to my master. Moreover, your life and death have nothing to do with the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
Qin Naihe sighed and said, “I’m aware that I failed to fulfill my promise. Just take it as I’m begging you, Mr. Seventh.”
After Qin Naihe finished speaking, he fell down on one knee.
Si Wuya was no longer a young man. He would not change his stance easily just because of the other party’s actions. After thinking about it for a moment, he said with a smile, “How about this…”
“Please speak.”
“My master once gave you two choices. You didn’t choose the first choice. Usually, you won’t be given another chance. However, I can speak on behalf of my master and give you another chance. Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. I know you dislike being labeled as disloyal or unrighteous. However, if you accept, I’ll speak to my master and ask him to clear your name in front of Venerable Master Qin. If Venerable Master Qin has no objections, everyone will be happy. If Venerable Master Qin has any objections, my master won’t stop you from leaving. What do you think?” Si Wuya asked.
Qin Naihe was stunned and looked at Si Wuya with a complicated expression. Many matters were not as complex as he had imagined them to be, especially in the hands of smart people.
When Si Wuya saw Qin Naihe hesitating, he said, “This is the biggest concession the Evil Sky Pavilion will make. It’s best if you think this through…”
Swoos.h.!.+
At this moment, Zhu Honggong flew out. He hovered in the air and said, “Seventh Senior Brother, why are you talking nonsense with him? Don’t delay our important business. I’ve already calculated it. I think we can bring back at least 50 mystic microstones. If we look carefully, we’ll find more…”
“…” Qin Naihe was speechless. He had spent so much effort and almost lost his life, but he only found one mystic microstone. Was this person joking? 50 mystic microstones?
Si Wuya was still staring at Qin Naihe.
After thinking about it for a moment, Qin Naihe nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you said.”
Upon hearing this, Si Wu brought a talisman out from his pocket.
Lu Zhou cut off his power of sight and waited for Si Wuya to contact him. After a moment, he received Si Wuya’s message on a piece of talisman. The content was similar to what he had just seen.
Lu Zhou’s response was very simple. It was just one word: Okay.
…
After receiving his master’s reply, Si Wuya waved his hand, and the talisman floated toward Qin Naihe.
Qin Naihe caught the talisman and looked down. He saw the word ‘okay’. After thinking about it, he bowed and said, “Thank you, Mr. Seventh. Please convey my grat.i.tude to Pavilion Master Lu as well. No matter what my future holds, I’ll do my best for the Evil Sky Pavilion. However, I’m just afraid that Venerable Master Qin…”
Si Wuya stepped forward and patted his shoulder before saying with a smile, “Don’t worry. Venerable Master Qin won’t refuse my master.”
“Uh…” Qin Naihe suddenly felt strange when he saw Si Wuya’s smile. Did he not get the better end of the deal? However, why did Si Wuya look like the cat that ate the canary?
