Chapter 696: 691. Use the Hundred Sects Alliance (Second Update) Let’s talk about Wen Ping.
After using spiritual power to knock out the person sent by the Hundred Sects Alliance to track him, Wen Ping had H Lan leave the beast vehicle. He then returned alone to the inn with the vehicle.
Soon, Zi Ran returned and conveyed Pei Wu’s words to Wen Ping.
Pei Wu’s idea was simple: he wanted to meet the person behind Wen Ping before making a decision.
But where could Wen Ping find a mentor behind him?
He only had a system behind him.
"Seems like there’s no chance for Sanrenyi." Wen Ping silently mused to himself.
Although Zi Ran, one of the few Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisans at Heaven and Earth Lake, greatly admired and revered Pei Wu. After drinking together at the restaurant, she felt that Sanrenyi could definitely be an ally worth collaborating with Immortal Sect. There shouldn’t be any concerns about Pei Wu’s intentions for now.
After explaining to Wen Ping, Zi Ran waited for him to make a better decision.
Instead of focusing on becoming a subordinate, why not find a compromise to deal with the Hundred Sects Alliance.
However, Wen Ping had already decided to abandon Sanrenyi.
So he had no other ideas in mind.
"Sect Leader, Pei Wu promised me that in the next hundred years, he would strongly support Immortal Sect. Whatever Immortal Sect needs, he would consider it first. What do you think?" Zi Ran looked at Wen Ping’s face, trying to find some idea or fluctuation on his expression. Yet, Wen Ping remained silent, seriously listening to her speak.
Wen Ping asked, "Finished?"
Zi Ran emphasized again, "I really think it’s possible to cooperate with Sanrenyi."
Wen Ping just smiled slightly and said in a tone of an elder speaking to a younger one, "Zi Ran, do you know what kind of power this Sect Leader wants to build?"
"Please tell me, Sect Leader."
This was the first time Wen Ping talked to her about this.
Zi Ran instantly became particularly serious.
Wen Ping continued, "Remember, Immortal Sect must be a Sect capable of suppressing an era and creating a new world."
"Suppress, create..." Zi Ran carefully pondered these four words.
Understanding but not fully comprehending.
She could feel the ambition of the Sect Leader.
But she didn’t understand what creating a new world meant.
Wen Ping said, "If Pei Wu comes to you again, just reply according to my initial intention. By the way, should we have dinner together tonight?"
"Ah!" Wen Ping suddenly changed the topic, leaving Zi Ran stunned.
How did the conversation suddenly turn to dinner?
Wen Ping said, "If you have something to do, then forget it."
"No, no." Zi Ran hastily nodded.
"Then get ready, we’ll leave soon." Originally, Wen Ping thought of going by himself to have dinner with his father, but considering that Zi Ran would be alone at the inn tonight, he decided to invite her along. Besides, Zi Ran wasn’t an outsider. His father was the previous Sect Leader of Immortal Sect, so in terms of seniority, Zi Ran would call him Old Sect Leader.
...
On the other side, H Lan first took 700 pieces of White Crystal to find his senior brother.
Information dissemination could be solved by Flower White Crystal, but as for his senior brother, H Lan was not confident.
He could only gamble, hoping his joining of Immortal Sect hadn’t reached the senior brother’s ears.
Along the way, he bought a few jars of good wine and hurried over with the wine in his hands.
It was already dusk when H Lan gently knocked on the door and heard a doorman’s voice from inside.
The doorman recognized H Lan and directly led him to the study.
Outside the study, as soon as H Lan opened his mouth, before he could finish speaking, the person within spoke up.
"You actually dare to come to see me?"
The speaker’s tone was full of hostility.
H Lan’s expression froze for a moment.
Knew?
H Lan could only hope for the best, forcing a smile as he walked in and said, "Senior brother, it’s been a while. I’ve missed you. Look what I brought for you?"
"Plum wine. Even guessing with a toe could figure that out." As he spoke, a tall figure slowly stood up behind a pile of books on the desk, his eagle-like eyes fixed on H Lan. "You certainly have guts. I just received news of you joining Immortal Sect, and you show up here."
H Lan was completely stunned this time.
The other party indeed knew.
Slowly, a hint of wariness appeared on H Lan’s previously enthusiastic face.
"No need to be nervous, I, Chen Xie, would not exchange my junior brother’s head for merits." Chen Xie found a chair to sit down, gesturing for H Lan to sit as well.
However, as soon as H Lan sat down, before he had a chance to speak, Chen Xie spoke again, "I didn’t expect you would give up such a promising future to walk a dead end. It seems our relationship needs redefining."
H Lan responded, "Senior brother will never be my enemy."
