892: I don't listen I don't listen!!

In the hall.

Wang Chen's gaze fell on Bai Yuliang, and at the same time, he became completely alert.

Bai Yuliang naturally wouldn't undergo a drastic personality change in such a short time; the core of the Bai Yuliang sitting before him had already been replaced.

"Senior Qing Yunzi?"

Wang Chen asked, already prepared to retreat at any moment.

In Wang Chen's opinion, only Qing Yunzi in the entire Xuantian Holy Land could possess such unfathomable means.

"Indeed!"

"It is I!"

Bai Yuliang, no, Qing Yunzi, nodded, staring calmly at the wary Wang Chen.

"Little fellow, aren't you very bold?"

"You dared to kill a True Disciple of my Xuantian Holy Land in the Demon Beast Forest, and even used the Restriction I left in his Divine Soul to achieve your own goals. Why are you now afraid to even accept a small meeting gift?"

Qing Yunzi asked, his tone betraying no fluctuations.

"Hehe!"

Hearing this, Wang Chen chuckled dryly, feeling a bit awkward at being confronted by the victim.

However...

Qing Yunzi did not dwell on this issue. Seeing Wang Chen's slightly embarrassed expression, he smirked subtly and waved his hand, pushing the box containing the Enlightenment Tea into Wang Chen's arms:

"I disdain to play tricks with meeting gifts. You can rest assured and accept this Enlightenment Tea."

Hearing Qing Yunzi's words, Wang Chen became even more uneasy.

This old fellow, who directly possessed his grand-Disciple, was someone whose words he dared not believe a single bit.

Wrapping his hands in magic, Wang Chen placed the box back on the table.

"Senior Qing Yunzi, please speak frankly."

"This junior admits that I indeed borrowed your power before, and I am willing to pay some price for it."

"To me, this is a transaction, and a transaction requires fairness and equality. As for anything outside of the transaction, this junior fears having the life to take it but not the life to use it."

Wang Chen spoke bluntly, looking at Qing Yunzi, who was possessing Bai Yuliang.

He genuinely had no mood to play games with this old fellow. After all, the one before him was an old fox who had lived for hundreds of years. Excessive contact without corresponding strength would likely lead to him being sold and still helping the other party count the money.

"The little fellow is quite cautious."

Qing Yunzi looked at Wang Chen in surprise, shaking his head with a light chuckle:

"But you don't need to worry. I bear no ill will towards you. The fact that I am using my grand-Disciple's body to speak with you this time, instead of my true body, should show you my attitude."

"Heh..."

Wang Chen subtly curled his lips upon hearing this.

What attitude?

He hadn't forgotten the pair of golden-red giant eyes that suddenly appeared above Blade City after Zhao Tianci's death.

Qing Yunzi might not have arrived in his true body, but with the Restriction on Bai Yuliang's Divine Soul, he could unleash a full-power attack of a Ninth-Order True Lord Peak. What was the difference from being here in person?

"Senior, let's be more direct."

Wang Chen straightened his body and said directly to Qing Yunzi:

"I can agree to help you deal with Vast Treasure True Lord of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, but you must also give me a guarantee that after I complete this transaction, there will be no subsequent trouble, and the matter of me borrowing your power earlier will also be written off."

...

Qing Yunzi raised an eyebrow, his expression becoming a bit strange:

"Little fellow, aren't you curious why I want you to target Vast Treasure True Lord? Why would I want to cut off my own arm?"

"Not curious!"

Wang Chen shook his head without the slightest hesitation.

Curious about what?

This matter definitely involved all sorts of messy internal affairs of the Xuantian Holy Land. Listening to it would not benefit him at all and would only lead to trouble.

The less he knew, the safer he would be.

...

Qing Yunzi's expression stiffened. He never expected Wang Chen to react this way, completely uninterested in gossip.

This rendered all the explanations he had prepared stillborn.

"What a clever little fellow!"

"Are all the young people from your world as uninteresting as you?"

Qing Yunzi asked.

"This..."

Wang Chen's pupils constricted upon hearing this, and his eyebrows furrowed.

What?

Your world?

This old fellow had actually discovered his identity!

In his shock, Wang Chen unhesitatingly communicated with the little ones in his Beast Pet Space, ready to immediately gather power and leave the hall.

However...

The next words Qing Yunzi spoke made him pause.

"Don't be so surprised. Your identity as a person from another realm is nothing unusual. I'm not the only one who knows your identity."

"I feel like I hid it very well?"

Wang Chen paused his movements, subconsciously retorting.

"Hahaha!"

"A Ninth-Order True Lord under thirty years old—even in the Netherworld's prime, there were no such Geniuses. Now, the entire world's power is less than one-tenth of what it was a thousand years ago, yet one suddenly pops up. Do you think that's reasonable?"

"Maybe it's a final burst of brilliance!"

Wang Chen pursed his lips, saying unwillingly.

He hadn't expected that his own strength would lead to his exposure.

"It is indeed a final burst of brilliance, but it's the world's self-salvation as its Origin is about to be completely polluted. The chosen one is me!"

Qing Yunzi looked at Wang Chen with a half-smile, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

...

Hearing this, Wang Chen felt a bit speechless.

Good heavens!

This old fellow turned out to be quite narcissistic!

However, he had to admit that Qing Yunzi, possibly the Human Race's only Ninth-Order True Lord Peak expert in the current Netherworld, indeed had the right to be narcissistic.

"Alright! Senior, you're amazing!"

"Then let's talk about the transaction."

Wang Chen sighed, then looked at Qing Yunzi solemnly and said.

"No rush. Before that, I think you should listen to why I want you to target Vast Treasure True Lord."

"I won't listen."

"Listening to it won't affect you in any way."

"I don't believe you."

...

Looking at Wang Chen's determined expression, Qing Yunzi was left utterly speechless.

This young man was as stubborn and unyielding as a stone in a latrine.

He, the esteemed first expert of the Human Race, a Ninth-Order True Lord Peak Great True Lord, and the master of Xuantian Holy Land, the head of the Eight Great Sacred Grounds, was being continuously rejected?

"If this kid were my Disciple, I'd hang him up and whip him!"

Qing Yunzi thought with some annoyance, his expression unchanged, and his tone still calm:

"This matter is beneficial to you. After you understand it, you will know why you won't face any accountability after killing Vast Treasure True Lord."

"Really?"

Wang Chen was a bit suspicious; these old fellows were full of bad intentions.

"Really."

Qing Yunzi nodded helplessly.

"Alright then, I'll listen, but you must first put it in writing: if I refuse the transaction after listening, you cannot attack me."

"You..."

Qing Yunzi's mouth twitched, and his expression became quite peculiar.

This was the first time he had encountered such a difficult junior.
