Chapter 3919: Chapter 1877: Leverage_2
Upon these words, Kong Yuhen’s pupils trembled, "You know?"
"I know."
Xu Xiaoshou answered unequivocally.
Not like Bazhun’an, not like Dao Qiongcang, not like Demon Ancestor, Cursed Yin, not like anyone Kong Yuhen had seen or asked in various generations.
He could provide an accurate answer...
An enlightenment emerged in his heart, whether due to Xu Xiaoshou’s certainty or some guidance he himself received, Kong Yuhen could not determine.
His expression finally turned extremely serious, thinking this friendship fee was too worthwhile, he was moved and said:
"Lord Shou..."
"But not for free." Xu Xiaoshou quipped, killing all of Kong Yuhen’s emotions.
He took a deep breath, "Lord Shou, please speak."
"I can give you three choices." Xu Xiaoshou raised three fingers, "Lower choice, middle choice, top choice, the decision is yours, I won’t interfere."
Kong Yuhen opened his mouth, "What is the lower choice?" He decided to take them one by one.
"The lower choice, I tell you about the mysteries concerning the Ancestral God’s future, past, river of time, Path of Space-Time, as well as your origins, your past, present, and future all consequences and causes..."
Upon hearing this, Kong Yuhen’s throat rolled, his expression already a bit frozen.
Soo much?
He interrupted, "What do I need to pay?"
"Brother Yuhen, for you, time is but a moment no matter how long or short, am I right?"
Kong Yuhen dared not respond to Xu Xiaoshou and asked again, "Lower choice, what do I need to pay?"
"Not much." Xu Xiaoshou casually said, "You serve me for ten thousand years."
Kong Yuhen went black before his eyes, directly giving up, "Middle choice then?"
Xu Xiaoshou spread his hands in confusion, questioning, "Brother Yuhen, in fact, you could reconsider it. Demon Ancestor wishes to sell me this secret, and the intelligence he provided is incomplete. Yet he dares to ask me for one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years. I only ask for ten thousand years, and offer more; you should weigh whose sincerity is greater, wouldn’t you agree?"
"Middle choice!"
"Alright. Middle, meaning middle path, neither excessive nor insufficient, fair exchange... I can still tell you this secret and ensure that every generation of you knows it as long as I am alive and remember."
"Price?"
"Brother Yuhen, middle choice you no longer need to serve or assist me. You merely promise to sever all ties with Demon Ancestor, Cursed Yin and Ancestral Gods during this ordeal until one of the Holy Demon Medicine Ghost Cursed Five Ancestors falls, then the transaction will end, and after that, you may do as you wish, stab me in the back even." Xu Xiaoshou pointed out the window with a chilly smile.
Kong Yuhen pondered deeply.
Once again, he felt immense pressure.
Though before him stands an extremely young guy, indeed he possesses the kind of oppressing vibe like Demon Ancestor and Cursed Yin.
What exactly is he trying to do, what is he planning?
Bazhun’an dared to entrust him with his back, with the future big picture, certainly not aimless...
"Brother Yuhen?"
Xu Xiaoshou fanned his hand before him.
Kong Yuhen came to his senses, "Lord Shou, mere words, how do you assure your words are worth the price?"
If Xu Xiaoshou speaks honestly, it must surely exceed the worth.
The middle choice, nonetheless, simply inclines slightly towards the Saint Servant side from a neutral stand, without requiring effort, Kong Yuhen could accept it.
He believes it’s the best choice, there exists no top choice.
The problem lies in, if Xu Xiaoshou speaks falsely, merely painting lies...
"I know what you worry about, but I will not give you guarantees." Xu Xiaoshou wouldn’t offer needless proof for this, only slowly shook his head:
"Demon Ancestor back then, that was painting cakes for me."
"Now I can directly tell you, consider it a free bonus."
"Brother Yuhen, on the river of time, places even you cannot see, I have crossed an epoch, witnessed many unknowns..."
Kong Yuhen was bewildered.
Xu Xiaoshou continued with a potent dose, "Precisely because of this, I am convinced temporal reconstruction is no dream based on false hopes, hence I’m willing to offer you this Reincarnation Gate, to renew friendship rather than mere equal exchange."
Kong Yuhen fell silent.
All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion remained voiceless for a long time.
Xu Xiaoshou did not interrupt his contemplation, after sufficient time, he changed the subject, "Brother Yuhen, what do you think Dao Qiongcang is doing now?"
Dao Qiongcang...
This person, Kong Yuhen had seen before.
He similarly sought answers to questions unknown.
Despite this person’s unpredictability, the results given at the end were vague and far less straightforward than Xu Xiaoshou at this moment.
That person’s ambition, Kong Yuhen had discerned.
Not satisfied with the Ten Ancestors at all!
What Demon Ancestor thinks, what Medicine Ancestor plans, what Cursed Yin seeks, he likewise is scheming, but to date he has sunk below the surface...
Dao Qiongcang is plotting something bigger!
Kong Yuhen felt it even harder.
Xu Xiaoshou always manages to leverage these trivial things, weights his chips, he no longer knows how to begin.
Yet Xu Xiaoshou knows how to start, he knows well how to say it:
"Bazhun’an values me greatly, from White Cave onwards, treating me as an equal, assisting me greatly, though I never mention it, in my heart I am deeply grateful. Hence, this time he ventured out alone, I am willing to take care of matters afterward, tie up the loose ends... Brother Yuhen, perhaps you might ponder why?"
"Dao Qiongcang is wary of me, from Four Symbols Secret Realm to Qingyuan Mountain, during Changde Town, I knew he had chances to take me down, but ultimately he chose to abandon, decided to befriend me at Divine Relics, he offered the friendship fee, I am willing to accept him as a friend... Brother Yuhen, ponder further why?"
