Upon hearing this, Water Ghost laughed out loud.
âYou canât get me to do anything!â
âI only have a name in the saint servant and never do anything. This is the first time in more than thirty years that Iâve helped Bazhunâan.â
âIn order to receive my help, he paid a huge price. This is something that you will never be able to give at your current stage.â
âBut I am looking forward to the moment when you grow up. Perhaps at that time, you will be able to give me what I want.â
Xu Xiaoshou could not help but be curious. He asked, âWhat price did he give you?â
âAn answer.â Water Ghostâs answer was unexpected.
An answer⊠Xu Xiaoshou thought of the time when he met Bazhunâan in front of the Abyss Island Rift in the White Cave.
In this world, it seemed that many experts were looking for an âanswerâ, but they could never find it, yet Bazhunâan could always give them their âanswerâ.
âIs it because he can bluff more than meâŠâ Xu Xiaoshou pondered.
Water Ghost smiled, as if he had guessed the young manâs thoughts, and said,
âYou should know that at my level, I have power, fame, and capability. I donât lack anything.â
âEven if it is to ascend to the Saint level, for someone who has perfected the water-type Upanishad, it is only a matter of thought. Therefore, what I want is completely beyond the secular world.â
He suddenly paused and then burst into laughter.
âI have connections in both the black and white sects. Other than Bazhunâan, the Holy Divine Palace owes me many favors.â
âJust Ye Xiao alone is enough for me to pay only a small price while getting her repay the three favors that she owes me.â
âAnd if I was to kill Ye Xiao for you, itâs equivalent to cutting off my connections.â
âAfter all, Ye Xiao is not the only one who owes me favors from the Holy Divine Palace.â
At this point, Water Ghost spread his hands and stared at the head on Xu Xiaoshouâs neck. He said mockingly, âSo, even if I sell you, itâs not worth 1/10,000 of this price. What reason do I have to help you?â
Xu Xiaoshou was dumbfounded when he heard that.
What kind of person was this!!
Both the black and white sides?
This sounded even more explosive than Bazhunâan, the master of both black and white veins.
How could Bazhunâan be able to hire such a person with just one âanswerâ?
Well, perhaps only these abstract âanswersâ that were completely detached from the value of real objects could afford the price of Water Ghost⊠Xu Xiaoshou thought.
Water Ghost rejected Xu Xiaoshouâs request and walked straight to the edge of the Lone Cliff ruins. He looked at the vast sea of clouds and said, âThe second thing.â
âPlease go ahead, senior.â Xu Xiaoshou followed behind him and gave up on letting Water Ghost take action. He was indeed too expensive to hire.
Water Ghost looked at the vast cliff landscape and said,
âThe second thing is actually an explanation.
âBazhunâan told me to tell you that this time, it was indeed him who took action. He used your identity to summon all parties here.â
âFor his plan, you took on a pressure that someone of your cultivation level shouldnât have.â
âTo put it simply, he took advantage of you, and he was very honest. He said he was very sorry.â
Just like that, just like that?
Did that man know that he almost died on the Lone Cliff? If it wasnât for his quick thinking which led him into kicking the Night Guardian down the cliff and successfully fooled Rao YaoyaoâŠhe would have died a long time ago!
In the end, after so many troubles, it was really Bazhunâan who was behind all these messes?
âDo you mean that he was the one who arranged for me to come here?â Xu Xiaoshou was both angry and upset.
âYes.â Water Ghost nodded and chuckled, âStrictly speaking, he was the one who made me use the Holy Emperorâs will to guide you here. Not only you, but Ye Xiaotian and Gu Qinger also came here like this.â He shook the Holy Emperor Dragon Scale.
Xu Xiaoshou was speechless for a moment, but his heart was like a raging tsunami. He thought quietly.
âWow, youâre so honest!â
âWith you like this, how am I supposed to respond to your honesty?â
âIâm sorry, my current strength doesnât allow it!â
âSo?â Xu Xiaoshou resisted the urge to make a move and kept reminding himself that impulsiveness was the devil. It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
The corner of Water Ghostâs lips turned into a smile again as he said, âBazhunâan said that heâs very sorry. Also, he asked me to tell you that the matter of you using him to save the situation last time is settled. From now on, you donât owe him anything.â
Xu Xiaoshou was confused.
Thatâs it, thatâs it, thatâs it?
That old scoundrel Bazhunâanâs wishful thinking was really amazing!
He didnât even give him any compensation, even his apology came from someone elseâs mouth. This was too insincere!
âBreath in, breath outâŠâ
âBreath in, breath outâŠâ
Xu Xiaoshou was so angry that his face alternated between red and white. He kept taking deep breaths to calm himself down.
Water Ghost looked back and asked despite knowing the answer, âWhat are you doing?â
Xu Xiaoshou choked again. He thought to himself, âYou, Water Ghost, are also full of bad ideas.â He stopped and sneered, âIâm breathing. Canât you see?â
Water Ghost was stunned. This bold answer made him lose his ability to respond.
At this time, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly turned and stared at the golden mask on Water Ghostâs face until the latter was somewhat baffled and wanted to say something.
He seemed to suddenly understand Water Ghostâs reaction to âCanât you see that I am breathingâ. He pointed at the eye socket under Water Ghostâs golden mask and said very calmly, âYou have eye mucus.â
