441: Someone actually tried to seduce him with their honey!
The top floor of the Never Look Back Merchant Guild had always been off-limits to outsiders.
Li Qingsang had thought that the entire building was a place where the Trading Firm sold its goods, with the distinction that the higher the floor, the more expensive and, of course, better quality the treasures sold would be.
It wasn't until she arrived here that she realized this entire vast top floor was solely reserved for Shen Tianxing's personal enjoyment.
Standing on the highest floor, it was open on all sides, offering a panoramic view of Holy Heaven City.
There were no windows on three sides, only white gauze curtains fluttering in the wind.
Shen Tianxing was sitting at a table, leisurely sipping tea.
"Elder Li, it's a rare pleasure to have you visit. Please, have a seat."
Shen Tianxing generously invited Li Qingsang to sit down.
This walking experience point had no idea that coming here was akin to a lamb entering a tiger's den.
Fortunately, Shen Tianxing currently had no plans to deal with her.
Li Qingsang was completely unaware that she was dancing on a knife's edge, and that the person she had specifically come to meet today was lusting after her.
"The Inner Sea hasn't been this chaotic in many years. Young Master Shen can still sit so calmly, enjoying himself, this composure is truly admirable!"
Li Qingsang sat down without ceremony, a faint smile gracing her beautiful face, appearing gentle and elegant, making it impossible to tell that this was a Golden Body Realm Cultivator!
But in Shen Tianxing's eyes, this woman was not only beautiful but also exuded an aura of a superior, cultivated over many years. Even if Li Qingsang intentionally tried to conceal it, she couldn't.
One could only say she acted very well, but she didn't know that in front of Shen Tianxing, no matter how well she acted, he could still see through her at a glance.
The Heart-Comprehending Mirror that Shen Tianxing had cultivated earlier had now reached Perfection, and no one could maintain any mystery in front of him.
"I'm not like you all; I don't have such a strong desire for fame and fortune. I just enjoy this carefree life."
Li Qingsang's brows furrowed slightly.
She was a smart person; of course, she couldn't fail to understand the meaning behind Shen Tianxing's words.
But, to just give up like that?
Impossible!
Shen Tianxing, at only seventeen, had already entered the Golden Body Realm, and his cultivation might even be higher than that of her, an Elder.
Such talent, if not unparalleled throughout history, was certainly extremely rare.
The two Cultivators who became Emperor's Companions a thousand years ago did not reach this level at his age.
Such a person, if not brought over, would it not be a pity?
To achieve this goal, what was a bit of pride?
Even sacrificing some things would be worth it.
"As long as there's sufficient exchange of benefits, I believe nothing is impossible."
"I just need to know, what do you want?"
Li Qingsang's eyes were full of spring, her face alluring, and every gesture exuded an undeniable temptation.
Such actions, let alone a seventeen-year-old youth, even a thousand-year-old Cultivator would find hard to resist, right?
She still had some confidence in her figure and appearance!
Looking at Li Qingsang, who was so close, Shen Tianxing raised an eyebrow, then revealed a smile!
A honey trap?
Someone was actually using a honey trap on him!
Did he, This Official Shen, look like someone so easily tempted?
Using such an undignified method to seduce him?
Who was she looking down on!
Shen Tianxing leaned back slightly, placing his teacup on the table.
He no longer had any intention of continuing.
"Elder Li, if you don't state your purpose for coming here, then don't blame This Official Shen for being impolite."
"An Elder of the Heavenly Maiden Palace, if she were to fall on the street like this, it should be enough to attract people's attention, right?"
Hmm?
Looking at Shen Tianxing, whose attitude had completely changed, Li Qingsang was slightly taken aback. Only then did she realize how ridiculous her little schemes were!
She thought Shen Tianxing was young and easy to fool.
It turned out he was just playing with her!
Recognizing her place, Li Qingsang quickly put away her little thoughts.
For the first time, she realized that Shen Tianxing was completely different from anyone she had ever met before!
"Young Master Shen, please forgive my rudeness just now."
"I came this time to sincerely invite Young Master Shen to join our Heavenly Maiden Palace."
"With your talent, plus the support of our Heavenly Maiden Palace, you have every chance to win the next Contest of the Emperor's Companion!"
"You can even participate in the Contest of the Imperial Son that will begin soon!"
"As long as Young Master agrees, the Heavenly Maiden Palace is willing to pay any price to support your Cultivation!"
Such a promise, for the Heavenly Maiden Palace, was already the greatest sincerity!
No one had ever received the full support of the Heavenly Maiden Palace.
They had the capability!
They could fully support Shen Tianxing in contending for the Imperial Son with other Emperor's Companions.
However, her promises, in Shen Tianxing's eyes, were nothing but empty words, not to be taken seriously at all!
Moreover, did he need it?
Wouldn't it be more pleasant to travel around freely?
Why be controlled by others?
Still trying to use him, truly too naive!
Shen Tianxing silently drank a cup of tea, then slowly said, "This Official Shen appreciates the kind intentions of the Heavenly Maiden Palace, but I'm not interested."
"If you are interested, we can cooperate, but joining your Heavenly Maiden Palace, let's just forget about it."
Li Qingsang was stunned by these words. She hadn't expected Shen Tianxing to refuse so readily.
The feeling of being rejected was very unpleasant.
Immortal Great Sects like the Heavenly Maiden Palace had never been told no in front of them.
But... a flash of anger crossed Li Qingsang's mind, it was not yet time to deal with Shen Tianxing.
"I'd like to hear how you want to cooperate?"
Shen Tianxing said, "I heard you recently went to the Dragon Tomb Land of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan? The Tomb of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, said to contain the Azure Dragon Treasure Trove, I wonder if it's true or false, I'm very interested."
Shen Tianxing was already planning to go to the Dragon Tomb Land.
Because Su Mingyue was there.
And most importantly, this place could attract all the Golden Body Realm experts who entered the Inner Sea.
How could he not make good use of it?
"You're also interested in that place? That's good then, we'll be heading there in a few days. If you're interested, you can come along."
A glint flashed in Li Qingsang's eyes.
You can't do anything to me in Holy Heaven City, but once we reach the Dragon Tomb Land, it won't be up to you, Shen Tianxing!
"You can go ahead first; we'll meet up in the Dragon Tomb Land then."
"Very well!"
Although Li Qingsang's purpose for coming today was not achieved, she unexpectedly learned of Shen Tianxing's intention to go to the Dragon Tomb Land, which also suited her intentions.
The two didn't chat much; they simply agreed to meet in the Dragon Tomb Land, and then Li Qingsang left.
