“Pigs... are quite cute too!” Chu Yang said with a smile, “Besides being cute, they can also be eaten, their uses are numerous.”
Young Master Wei was infuriated by him, gritting his teeth as he said, “What exactly are your conditions? Just say it! I will do my best.”
“Are you implying that I have some ulterior motive?” Chu Yang replied, “I know what you want to do, but I just can’t give it to you! I need this for a greater purpose… If I give it all to you, what will I do? I can’t ruin my own plans for your sake, can I?”
Young Master Wei said, “I don’t want it all! Just temporarily hand it over to me; I’ll return it after I’m done.”
Chu Yang shook his head resolutely, “Temporarily hand it over? Return it after use? How long is this temporary? One day, two days, one year, two years, ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years? If I give it to you, it’s like handing a meat bun to a dog? No way!”
Chu Yang’s head shook like a rattle drum.
“It won’t take that long. Why don’t you just come with me? That should be fine, right?” Young Master Wei felt his temples throbbing and rubbed them with his fingers, speaking through gritted teeth.
“Come with you? That would mean I’m helping you! You really know how to calculate, don’t you? Not only are you calculating my things, but now you want to calculate my presence too? With this kind of scheming, I truly can’t deal with you.” Chu Yang said worriedly, “Besides, who knows how much you’ll need? If you use it all up at once and I have nowhere to cry, this world doesn’t sell regret medicine…”
“Not to mention I’m so busy right now. The Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly is about to begin, and we need to create some public opinion in the martial arts world…” Chu Yang pushed back adamantly, clearly unwilling to help.
“No matter what, I won’t agree! Do what you will.”
Young Master Wei was furious, unable to endure it any longer. He suddenly stood up, “You’re acting! If you keep acting, I promise you, once the City of Spirits is opened and the Holy Land of Spirits is restored, you can take whatever you want! The relics of the City of Spirits must have a lot of good stuff left from ancient times; this should satisfy you, right? What do you say? Give me a clear answer! If you don’t agree, I’ll turn back to Zhong San Tian…”
“Deal!” Chu Yang didn’t wait for him to finish and immediately responded resoundingly; it was a crisp agreement. His lazy body straightened up instantly, and he extended a hand, “Let’s strike a palm pact, and neither of us shall go back on our word!”
Young Master Wei looked at the white palm extended right in front of his nose, blinking his eyes in surprise, momentarily unable to react.
What’s going on? Wasn’t Chu Yang just being extremely reluctant? How did he agree so readily? Is there a conspiracy?
Young Master Wei vaguely felt that he had been tricked, but for a moment he couldn’t figure out how he had been tricked or what he would lose; he had originally been eager for Chu Yang to agree, but now he was suspicious and hesitant.
“What exactly do you want? Just tell me straightforwardly.” Young Master Wei asked, skeptical.
“Uh, you don’t want to go? You’re so indecisive…” Chu Yang suddenly seemed to lose all his strength again, lazily wanting to sit back down, “Then forget it!”
“Bang!” Without hesitation, Young Master Wei smacked his palm onto Chu Yang’s still extended hand and shouted, “Strike a palm pact, never go back on your word! It’s settled!”
Seeing this guy actually wanting to go back on his word? That wouldn’t do!
Young Master Wei decisively made a decision!
Chu Yang threatened, “It’s easy for you to say, but if you don’t keep your promise when the time comes, I won’t have any way to deal with you. Your cultivation level is so high…”
“Divine retribution!” Young Master Wei quickly interrupted, his face filled with smiles.
“That’s good, that’s good. When do we set off? I know you’re anxious.” Chu Yang smiled broadly, adopting an attitude of considering Young Master Wei’s feelings. The brothers around them also smiled in agreement, all of them finally letting out a long breath of relief.
