A mortal who has been a god for eight hundred years takes Han Li as his disciple!

"This junior can only guarantee that the Star Palace will do its utmost to help find the high-grade spirit stone vein you mentioned. Whether we can find it depends on luck. If we fail to find it, please forgive us."

Wen Qing took a deep breath and made her request.

"Sure, as long as you compensate me later."

As soon as Zhao Changsheng uttered his conditions, Wen Qing's beautiful face instantly flushed red with embarrassment and anger.

"Senior is too kind. Because of my cultivation of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, I am currently unable to leave Tianxing City. How could I possibly serve you anytime, anywhere?" Wen Qing's words were actually a rejection.

What Wen Qing said was indeed the truth; there was not a single falsehood in it.

"Just tell me if you're willing or not. If you're not, I can find someone else. These things aren't important to me anyway, but a useless star palace has no reason to exist for me either. My principle is this: if you find the high-grade spirit stone mine I mentioned, you either give yourself to me as compensation. I don't care whether you leave Tianxing City or not. Even if you stay in this city for the rest of your life, I won't care. So, are you willing or not?"

Zhao Changsheng's words once again left Wen Qing at a loss.

"This matter is of great importance, and I am unable to make the decision myself. I hope you will understand."

Wen Qing's words were just another excuse.

But since things had come to this point, she had nothing else to say but these words, because she simply couldn't find anything else to say.

"You don't need to make excuses. I'll just ask if you're willing or not. If you're not willing, I naturally won't force you. If you are willing, our cooperation agreement will begin here. What do you think?"

"Senior should know that I already have a Daoist partner."

Wen Qing sighed and said again.

"Of course I know, I've even met him. And we had a pretty good chat. But it doesn't matter, you two can end things."

Zhao Changsheng shook his head, then calmly stated the solution.

"Why force me, senior? There was no possibility between us in the first place, and there's even less possibility now."

After hearing Zhao Changsheng's words, Wen Qing could only smile wryly and helplessly.

Although the two had some grudges, Wen Qing had relied on his cultivation level to hunt down Zhao Changsheng for a long time.

But during this process, the two did develop some feelings for each other.

However, no one dared to expose the truth, and he disappeared from Zhao Changsheng's world, never to reappear.

We met a few more times after that, but we always tacitly chose to pretend we didn't know each other.

It wasn't until Zhao Changsheng became a Nascent Soul cultivator and came to the Star Palace to cause trouble that they were forced to resume communication.

"That's not what you said, not me. I never said there was anything between us. I've always said I just wanted you to serve me, not anything bad. Please don't misunderstand."

Zhao Changsheng shook his head, his tone tinged with sarcasm.

It seemed to be mocking Wen Qing for being delusional, but it also seemed to be trying to save face for himself.

"If that's the case, then I'm willing to serve you, senior, but I also ask that you take over what happened back then."

Upon hearing Zhao Changsheng's words, Wen Qing could only nod in agreement.

The main reason is that there was no choice; if there had been any choice, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

The most important reason is that they lacked the strength. If they had enough strength, there would be no need for them to do this; they could have simply turned on each other and silenced the witnesses.

"You really are a smart person. I knew you would give me the right answer."

"Alright, it's a deal then. I'll wait for you to find the high-grade spirit stone mine I need. But you must do your utmost and not be perfunctory, otherwise, your Star Palace will have no reason to exist."

Zhao Changsheng threatened again, and the conditions he had just proposed were all related to this matter.

"Don't worry, senior. Xinggong will do his best and will not let you down."

Wen Qing once again made a promise, guaranteeing that she would not let Zhao Changsheng down.

After their conversation ended, Wen Qing took his leave.

As for Zhao Changsheng, he needs to wait for the arrival of another Holy Lord.

However, he didn't keep Zhao Changsheng waiting for long. After only half an hour, he seemed to have found out the content of the conversation from Wen Qing, and then entered the room with a faint anger still on his face.

"Greetings, senior."

Although he was very angry and even wanted to fight, Ling Xiaofeng was not stupid and knew the huge gap between the two, so he did not make a move.

"I'm sure you already know what I'm here to say. Do you have any opinions, or is there anything else you'd like to discuss with me?"

Zhao Changsheng's question was actually a rhetorical one, but he still had to ask it.

"Senior is too kind. I have only come here to pay my respects to you. I will do my utmost to fulfill what you have said."

The two had only exchanged a brief conversation last time, and now they were exchanging another brief one.

"That's why I came looking for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here. Alright, go back now. If you really want to cause trouble, then you'd better break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, thinking about causing trouble and seeking revenge is just wishful thinking."

Zhao Changsheng's words, still laced with sarcasm, made the other party's face darken, but he had no choice but to take his leave.

When the Holy Lord left, Zhao Changsheng still did not leave, but waited for others.

The person he was waiting for was the Grand Elder of the Star Palace.

"Tell me, what do you plan to do? Cooperate with me or continue to serve those two?"

Zhao Changsheng's question made the Grand Elder of the Star Palace shake his head.

"Please forgive me, senior. I have known the two Holy Lords for nearly a thousand years. Our friendship is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators. I would never betray their trust. Therefore, I am afraid I cannot accept your offer. I hope you will forgive me."

"I never expected you to be such a loyal and compassionate person. In that case, as long as you help me do things well, I won't say anything more. However, you absolutely cannot do anything underhanded. If I find anything amiss, don't blame me for being impolite. After all, you know my methods."

Zhao Changsheng's words made the Grand Elder nod and immediately make a promise.

"Please rest assured, senior, I will absolutely follow your orders. I will not disobey your orders."

"That's good. Now I can finally rest easy. Well, it's getting late, I should head back."

Zhao Changsheng left immediately.
