559: Little white flower?
Qi Wu took the list that Yang Di handed over, and after a moment of surprise, he looked at Yang Dian.
Seeing that Yang Dian didn't seem to be joking, he looked at the list in his hand again.
Then he said with a trembling voice:
"Senior... Senior, did you perhaps take the wrong list?"
"So many special Magical Artifacts; even if we emptied our Heavenly Dao Sect, we wouldn't be able to gather them all."
Yang Dian naturally didn't believe this.
The Heavenly Dao Sect had existed for who knows how long; how could they not produce the Formation bases for a Spirit Gathering Formation the size of Huaxia?
However, seeing his genuine act, Yang Dian didn't force him:
"I didn't say you had to gather them."
"You only need to refine them within 30 Great Azure days."
Qi Wu's face became even more bitter:
"Senior, although our Artifact Refining Peak has many people, to refine so many semi-activated special Magical Artifacts within 30 days, we couldn't do it even if we had three heads and six arms!"
"What's more, the Materials needed to refine so many Magical Artifacts are enormous; our Heavenly Dao Sect doesn't have that many Materials either."
"You don't need to provide the Materials; you just need to focus on Artifact Refining."
Saying this, Yang Dian changed his tone, implying something:
"The crisis of world destruction doesn't just loom over your Heavenly Dao Sect."
"All nine Sects of Great Azure must face the crisis of world destruction."
"And those countless Loose Cultivators, are they not afraid of death?"
"Don't just focus on your own Sect."
"The world is vast; look more towards the outside."
Qi Wu's eyes shifted slightly:
"Senior, I cannot decide this matter; I need to go back and discuss it with the Sect Head Senior Brother."
Yang Dian nodded indifferently:
"Go."
As he spoke, he flicked a purple crystal into Qi Wu's hand:
"Once you've thought it through, crush this purple crystal, and I will naturally appear then."
Qi Wu put away the crystal, bowed to Yang Dian one last time, turned, and left.
Liu Qiaoer watched as Yang Dian truly didn't stop Qi Wu, genuinely letting him leave with the 'token,' and regret immediately appeared in her eyes.
'If I had known this earlier, why did I try to escape just now?'
No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than she heard Yang Dian speak again:
"Tell me, how should I deal with you?"
Liu Qiaoer swallowed, not answering Yang Dian's question, but instead looked at the spot where Qi Wu had left and said prettily:
"Senior, you just let him go like that? Aren't you afraid Qi Wu won't return?"
Yang Dian smiled:
"The monk can run, but the temple cannot."
"The Heavenly Dao Sect's Sect is right there; if they can empty the entire Sect before I come knocking, then I'll accept it."
After a casual reply, Yang Dian looked at Liu Qiaoer, who was wearing a light green smoke gauze dress, her long hair loosely tied with tender willow branches, a few strands falling to the side of her porcelain-white neck, making her look delicate and charming:
"Now it's your turn to answer me."
"Tell me, how should I deal with you?"
Looking at Yang Dian's meaningful gaze, Liu Qiaoer's eyes darted around, and she suddenly thought of something:
"Senior, what Qi Wu can help you do, I can also help you do!"
Whether she could do it was one thing.
Whether she could succeed was another.
All in all, Liu Qiaoer just wanted to return to the Sect; she didn't want to become someone else's Cauldron.
As long as she lived, as long as she returned to the Sect...
'As long as I can return to the Sect, I'll stay in the Sect for the rest of my life and never come out.'
'You're so powerful; if you have the ability, break through my Heavenly Saint Sect.'
'If you can break through the Heavenly Saint Sect, I'll accept being your slave, your maid, your Cauldron.'
Standing in front of Liu Qiaoer, watching her eyes roll around, clearly plotting something, Yang Dian couldn't help but smile:
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"You wanted to escape just now; if I truly let you go back now, would you still return?"
Liu Qiaoer's body stiffened.
Before she could think of a reply to Yang Dian's words, she heard him speak again:
"Letting you go isn't impossible."
"But you have to answer a few questions for me first."
Liu Qiaoer nodded frantically upon hearing this:
"Senior, please ask; I will tell you everything I know."
Seeing that Liu Qiaoer seemed to genuinely believe his words, Yang Dian was a little surprised.
How could this person seem to have no guile at all, believing so easily?
After thinking for a while, Yang Dian didn't bother to wonder if Liu Qiaoer was faking it and directly asked:
"What's the situation with that dim yellow giant tree on Chongming Star?"
