Chapter 565: Acquaintance to Friends? (II)
Uh where am I A hoarse voice broke the silence of the dark cavern.
The first one to stir was Qiu Chuyi. The ragged figure moved about for a little while before going still.
Its you? Qiu Chuyi asked after a long pause.
Stop pretending to be dead. Chen Wentian retorted lightly.
Qiu Chuyis immortal strength had returned slightly. He could already sense everything in the small underground chamber and he could also see somewhat due to the torches Chen Wentian had lit.
Qiu Chuyi snorted and sat up. He winced in pain a few times as he examined his physical condition and eyed Chen Wentian suspiciously.
What medicine did you give me? He asked.
Chen Wentian withdrew a small jade bottle and shook it slightly. A trace of medicinal essence escaped, making Qiu Chuyis eyes go wide.
Something I bought in the Martial Brilliance Continent. Chen Wentian said with a smile and then put it away quickly, Looking at you, its effect is quite good.
Why did you save me? Qiu Chuyi asked, still wary.
There were some other questions he couldnt ask. He knew that the Lion Lord had tried to kill Chen Wentians disciples. Since those elders had all died so miserably and his disciples had survived, Chen Wentian surely knew Beast God Sanctum was behind it.
Chen Wentian smiled, Last time, I killed a few rogue cultivators that harbored ill intentions against my disciples. I hope Brother Qiu will not blame me.
Qiu Chuyi froze before replying carefully, You are right. These people deserved to die. How dare scheme against an honored guest of our Beast God Sanctum and the Immortal Sect Competition!
The two men locked eyes for a moment before both of them laughed loudly. It wasnt exactly a friendly laugh but a competitive one. After all, they couldnt even be considered acquaintances. They were only a slight step above being enemies.
It seems Brother Chen is a very shrewd person. Hahaha, good. Since you have saved my life, I am willing to listen to whatever request you have of me. Qiu Chuyi said.
Chen Wentian nodded slightly and said, Hahaha, I knew Brother Qiu was a smart man but you are also open-minded. Good! It makes everything simpler. Actually, my request is quite simple.
Oh? Please speak. Qiu Chuyi replied.
Life to an immortal was the most precious thing. As long as it didnt touch on certain bottom lines, he wouldnt be too stingy.
My Ten Thousand Flower Valley doesnt seek to have conflicts with others. The Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent is so vast. There is plenty of space for everyone without butting into each others business. Therefore, I hope that Beast God Sanctum will not try and find trouble for my little sect. In return, I will forget the small misunderstandings of the past. Chen Wentian said.
Qiu Chuyi stroked his beard, Your sect isnt quite so small anymore. You now control Divine Blazing Mountain and Glacier Palace as well as Cloudy Mountain Province and Red Bamboo Province. Your appetite is quite large. You should know that Red Bamboo Province already borders on territory under my sects control. What if your appetite continues to grow?
Is the Beast God Sanctum afraid of a small sect with one Spirit Lord? Although I have gained a few territories in recent days due to strange fortunes, what use is any of it to me? Useless lands filled with poor mortals, its more of a hassle than any benefit. Chen Wentian replied.
Qiu Chuyi considered the matter and couldnt find any fault. However, the Beast God Sanctum's issue with Chen Wentian came from He Xinghans jealousy. Since the Lion Lords clan and a direct descendant were involved, it wasnt something that Qiu Chuyi could determine on his own.
This matter is quite difficult. Qiu Chuyi admitted in the end.
Chen Wentian laughed. This person was certainly interesting. Qiu Chuyi wasnt a frivolous person and treated matters with care and foresight. Although the He Clan people were irredeemable, he felt that he hadnt made a mistake in rescuing this person.
Chen Wentian waved his hand good-naturedly, Then forget it. Instead of that, I hope that Brother Qiu can give me some information about the Three Beast Kings. Some of my territories border the Eastern Wilderness so I will probably encounter their subordinates in the future. I hope you wont be too stingy and simply repeat things I can learn for myself from the association.
The older mans expression lightened, This matter is easy. Brother Chen, it is like this
Qiu Chuyi provided a lot of detail and didnt hold back. He described the most dangerous regions within the Eastern Wilderness. He gave estimates on the strengths of each faction. He even provided some information that Chen Wentian hadnt been able to find out using his shadow fox. The Eastern Wilderness was so vast, it was impossible for a single immortal to explore every nook and cranny. All of this was very important to him and Jasmines revenge.
Ughh, so noisy A voice cut off their lengthy conversation.
Both men turned towards the other person in the cavern as if they had suddenly remembered that she was there.
Immortal Phoenix Legend Shi Shi sat up and eyed them suspiciously, What happened? How did we escape?
She then looked down at her disheveled clothes and let out a cry, What did you do to me?
She hurriedly made sure that nothing was exposed and glared at the two like they were criminals.
Qiu Chuyi shrugged and looked toward Chen Wentian.
She also eyed him, You saved me? How did you do it?
Chen Wentian put on an innocent expression, I didnt do anything inappropriate. I gave you a precious immortal healing pill and also helped you purify the demonic poison within you.
Purify? How did you purify? Shi Shi said as she checked her body once more.
Her face became scarlet as she seemed to discover something. She wanted to say something but eventually bit her lip and glared at Chen Wentian as if he was the worst sinner under the heavens.
Qiu Chuyi slapped his thigh and pointed at her, Why are you so noisy? Arent you already halfway recovered? If Brother Chen had not saved us, we would be suffering a fate worse than death at the hands of those demons!
Shi Shi went silent for a moment but she quickly regained her demeanor. She was an immortal that had lived many decades and experienced many things. She wasnt a petty little girl nor was she a virgin. She already had a rough idea of what Chen Wentian had done. That pervert, if he wanted to touch, then she would let him touch. In fact, since she had always viewed him in a particular way, her heart was a little thrilled that he found her attractive.
She walked over and gave Chen Wentian a bow, Brother Chen, thank you for saving me. I wont forget this favor. From now on, the Legendary Fighter League is your friend as am I.
Qiu Chuyi also stood up and bowed, Brother Chen, thank you for this lifesaving grace. Although my lord is difficult to deal with and may still try to cause you trouble, I swear that I will never intestinally try to harm Brother Chen or his people.
