Chapter 690: 685, Identity Exposed Pei Wu has been observing Wen Ping since the beginning of the Hundred-Year Grand Event and the longer he observes, the more he finds Wen Ping intriguing.
Although the Hundred Sects Alliance forbids conflicts during the event, those powerful figures from Mountain Suppression Upper Realm in Sanren Hostel have been closely following him, inseparable during these days.
They fear the Hundred Sects Alliance might secretly play dirty.
In Sanren Hostel, no one is an exception.
But Wen Ping?
He brazenly mingles with people from the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Standing amidst the Hundred Sects Alliance crowd.
Still managing to rub shoulders with various forces within the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Clearly, he is the top target the Hundred Sects Alliance desires to eliminate, yet also the weakest target.
As for why he chooses this time to greet Wen Ping and openly reveal Wen Ping’s identity, putting Wen Ping in a dangerous position.
His purpose is simple.
To urge Wen Ping to align with Sanren Hostel.
The matters Ge Jiao, Pan Su, and Yun Jing have been unable to conclude at East Lake, he decided to personally intervene.
Wen Ping exposing his identity was inevitably going to happen sooner or later.
What he did was merely expedite this result.
It’s not considered plotting against Wen Ping.
If Wen Ping is upset with his method, he plans to compensate him by providing resources to help develop Immortal Sect, believing this would appease Wen Ping.
"Sect Leader Wen, all’s well?"
Pei Wu approached with several strong figures from Sanren Hostel to greet Wen Ping.
Wen Ping glanced at Pei Wu and asked, "Do I know you?"
"You’ve probably met a few of my subordinates. Ge Jiao, Pan Su, and Yun Jing, they should still be at East Lake now?" Pei Wu replied with a smile.
Wen Ping gradually smiled and said, "Oh, so it’s the Alliance Leader of Sanren Hostel."
Immediately, a thought sprang up in his mind.
Is this an opportunity being presented?
The matters Ge Jiao and others couldn’t decide are to be settled personally by the Alliance Leader of Sanren Hostel?
While pondering, Pei Wu bowed with courtesy, saying, "I am Pei Wu. If not for this Hundred-Year Grand Event, I would have personally visited you at East Lake. By the way, my subordinates didn’t overstep, did they?"
"Not really. It’s just that I’m not very interested in their proposals." What Wen Ping seeks is vassalage, not collaboration.
Becoming allies is the lowest of choices.
Upon hearing these words, Pei Wu’s expression instantly changed.
Is this a refusal to side with Sanren Hostel?
Pei Wu then looked at Wen Ping, choosing to probe further: "Is it perhaps because the gifts prepared by Pan Su and the others are insufficiently generous?"
"Alliance Leader Pei Wu, do I look like someone lacking in those things?"
Wen Ping indeed felt helpless.
He is lacking!
But since negotiation has already begun, he can’t expose his sense of need.
Exposing a sense of need would be equivalent to losing.
The opponent would base their attack step-by-step around this need until he’s weakened.
To attain the position of Alliance Leader and lead a force inferior to the Hundred Sects Alliance in resisting it for years, how could he be a simple figure?
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, Pei Wu patted his iron fan and laughed.
"Indeed so. Sect Leader Wen, should we find a quieter place to discuss things slowly? I, Pei Wu, assure you that any request from Sect Leader Wen shall be met."
"Alright."
Wen Ping nodded in agreement.
During their conversation, both unaware that individuals from Sanren Hostel and the Hundred Sects Alliance were glaring at each other.
The tension was palpable.
Wen Venerable and his companions also walked over.
Similarly, this attracted the attention of the Long Family. Meanwhile, people from He Mansion and Prince Longyang showed no interest, departing directly.
Suddenly, a gasp was heard among the Hundred Sects Alliance crowd.
It was the person who felt familiar upon hearing "Immortal Sect".
"I remember now! I wondered why ’Immortal Sect’ sounded familiar; turns out it’s the force that killed Situ Xiuneng and Xia Jin from the Xia Family!"
Boom!
