Chapter 616 602: The Price of Trust
They all thought that it was indeed Celestial Venerable Wen Ce, renowned for his cunning and deceit.But this Qing Jun, Imperial Tutor, was clearly here to steal people,
since they both knew they were dragons and phoenixes, the ones who held them could dominate the world!
They thought to themselves:
Although the Imperial Tutor spoke the truth, it's still worth listening to both sides, after all, it's the highest bidder who wins.
The more they fought over their allegiance, the more they would profit.
However, they still wanted to provoke conflict between the two sides, so Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable pretended to ponder, saying, "Celestial Venerable Wen Ce indeed has a notorious reputation, not a good person, far inferior to your uprightness as an Imperial Tutor."
Beside him, Celestial Venerable Wen Ce immediately turned dark-faced,
"You two, I can convince you I won't harm you and ensure you're willing to ally with me! Furthermore, I'll tell you how I became young!"
Though he himself didn't know how he became young, he would brag anyway.
"Really?"
Their eyes lit up.
The benefits offered by Celestial Venerable Wen Ce were truly considerable,
although they didn't know what plan he had to ensure they agreed and that he wouldn't harm them, a solid alliance was what they wanted.
Moreover, the two of them still wanted to extract the secret of how Celestial Venerable Wen Ce became young!
He had the conditions they both desired, so they began to feel tempted.
But Fu Qingjun shook his head, saying, "You do not need to listen to him. Come with me first. I have the two conditions you want! How to become young, and a perfect alliance; I won't harm you."
The two of them suddenly beamed with joy,
both sides offered the same conditions.
We should continue to hold out for the best offer.
They thought so, as they were seasoned capitalists comfortable with raising prices.
But then Fu Qingjun added, "And I also know the secrets of Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable and Immortal Celestial Venerable. Surely, you two young Celestial Venerables would want to know, I can share this with the three of you immediately. What do you think?"
Immediately,
their faces turned dark!
Oh, you sly Imperial Tutor, you looked upright and passionate, who would know you are also cunning?
Wasn't he secretly threatening them: if they didn't go with him, the Imperial Tutor would reveal their true identities, that they were old men, Immortal and Primordial Longevity, not young people.
Once Celestial Venerable Wen Ce realized they were his old acquaintances, how would he ever tell them the secret to being young?
Telling them wasn't just giving them two more competitors?
This was an unfair trade, not the highest bidder wins!
"Ahem, ahem."
They exchanged glances, saying, "Since both sides offered the same conditions, of course, with Celestial Venerable Wen Ce having a poor reputation, naturally we choose Your Highness Imperial Tutor."
They left with Fu Qingjun,
"However, even though it's the same two conditions, if you can't satisfy us, we will still return to negotiate with Celestial Venerable Wen Ce."
Afraid Fu Qingjun would deceive them, they added before gradually leaving.
"Damn it!"
Celestial Venerable Wen Ce stood alone, face ashen.
Two pieces of fat meat that were within reach suddenly flew away! Snatched away halfway!
Originally, he should inherit a third of the Amiro Celestial Court's legacy; who knew someone would show up halfway.
"Qing Jun Celestial Venerable!!"
He gnashed his teeth and murmured the name silently, feeling that this person was troublesome, like a nemesis with a fearsome premonition.
Recently, he found himself in an extremely contradictory situation,
despite having constant sky-defying opportunities, suffering repeated blows, it was simply absurd, life was exceedingly rich.
"But this Imperial Tutor, with a mysterious background, deserves attention!" His expression became sharp, "He must have seen certain things to make a similar promise!"
...
On the other side.
The two of them kept a safe distance with Fu Qingjun, following along.
Finally, they stopped on a desolate and silent star.
"Primordial Longevity, Immortal, you two are living quite comfortably, going off searching for Celestial Venerable Wen Ce." Fu Qingjun said.
"Is it Amiro and Chen Weizhu who told you?" They asked quietly.
Originally, their identity in the signed oath should absolutely not be disclosed to a third party, but now without the oath restriction, the other could tell their details.
Chen Weizhu, Chen Nianzi, raised by this Qing Jun Imperial Tutor himself, it was possible to reveal such a secret truth.
"They told me."
Fu Qingjun feigned saying.
The two of them immediately looked displeased, "Your two disciples played us; you as a master are probably no good! If those two promises aren't fulfilled, we won't help you seize the supreme seat."
"Fulfilling them is a matter of course." Fu Qingjun said leisurely, "I will make you young!"
"Oh?"
They looked at Fu Qingjun curiously.
After all, Qing Jun Celestial Venerable has remained hidden for years, likely also vying for the universe's highest seat!
If truly deeply hidden, perhaps following him is a good choice.
"How to become young?" They both asked simultaneously.
"What do you think, in the universe, what rule can make one young?" Fu Qingjun asked.
"Naturally, it's the first generation Immortal Rule of Immortal Venerable, enhancing wisdom, rejuvenating the soul, improving talents."
They answered simultaneously, "However, this Immortal Rule is so precious? It's always in the hands of Chen Weizhu and Chen Nianzi. We absolutely can't get it; they themselves use it to crazily grow talent, impossible to give to us old folks."
Fu Qingjun nodded, "Matter and concept, duality. Surely on the material plane, there is a 'not-immortal' rule, that can make one young?"
Their hearts skipped.
That's it!
A concept immortality, surely there's a similar 'immortal' rule on the material plane, able to make them young!
They began breathing heavily,
If they could get it, wouldn't they also compete alongside young heroes??
"This rule doesn't need entirety, just about 50% can unleash less than a tenth of its power! Though devouring efficiency is low, restoring talent is possible as well." Fu Qingjun said: "Why don't we pool our resources here, trade some rule fragments, maybe we can gather it."
Their eyes brightened.
"Even if we don't gather enough, I'll find a way to help you obtain 50%."
Fu Qingjun said: "After all, I have considerable prestige in the Amiro Celestial Court. Using some rules I don't use, trading for fragments of this rule, making it reach 50% can definitely be done."
"Makes sense!" This promise was alluring, and they were moved.
However, Immortal Celestial Venerable quickly asked, "That's the first condition. What about the second condition, how do you establish trust with us, can we trust each other?"
"If trust isn't achieved, everything you say is groundless."
Can't say because you're still my sons, naturally trusting each other.
Of course, Fu Qingjun wouldn't say it,
He pretended to ponder for a few seconds, then said, "Well, the second is simple, we will get a new oath, and then we can trust each other."
