Chapter 3706: Chapter 1799: Friends_2
“Uh, then rely on this scroll of the Holy Emperor’s Golden Edict…”
“No one is forcing you to tear it.”
With those two sentences, Yue Gongli was pulled from the heavens to the underground.
Xu Xiaoshou seed to truly disdain his friendship, even if it was just a montary impulse from Yue Gongli.
Yue Gongli got fired up!
What was originally just a joke, he suddenly took seriously.
Why can Dao Qiongcang be your friend, and I… am not worthy?
“What do you want? I can afford anything!”
Hua Changdeng was surprised, as he noticed that this statent from Yue Gongli was different from the previous ones.
Xu Xiaoshou contemplated, glanced at Hua Changdeng who was still indifferent and studying, and joked:
“Moon Fox, are you serious?”
“Just now was a joke, now my heart is truer than gold!”
“Good.” Xu Xiaoshou nodded imdiately, “In that case, Moon Fox, I’ll give you a chance.”
What kind of situation is this…
For a mont, Hua Changdeng wondered if these two were acting in front of him, but for what reason? He couldn’t figure it out.
Xu Xiaoshou stared at Yue Gongli and directly stated, “I want to live one more day. If you consider a friend, guard my path for one day.”
Yue Gongli wasn’t stupid and imdiately looked towards Hua Changdeng with a burning gaze: “Brother Hua…”
Could it be, it’s directed at ?
Hua Changdeng shook his head coldly, “I can only give you two at most the ti of one incense stick, one day? Can’t wait.”
Yue Gongli beca anxious, he truly wanted to do Xu Xiaoshou this favor, this favor that goes with the flow, “Brother Hua, after today, no matter Yunshan…”
“Stop.”
However, this sentence didn’t co from Hua Changdeng.
Instead, Xu Xiaoshou reached out his hand, signifying the two could stop their act of playing nice and bad cop.
Hua and Yue both turned around.
They saw Xu Xiaoshou watching them, amusedly saying, “We’re not even there yet, I haven’t finished speaking.”
Indeed, Xu Xiaoshou’s friendship fee isn’t that simple?
Yue Gongli took a deep breath and seriously said, “Lord Shou, please go ahead.”
Xu Xiaoshou wore a solemn expression: “During this day, you must fully execute the role of guarding the path, protect safely, and ascend Mournful Song with . After one day, I, Xu Xiaoshou, will sincerely befriend you. If you give a peach, I will repay you with a plum.”
His words were decisive and forceful.
Yue Gongli’s pupils constricted, could it be Xu Xiaoshou is also serious?
He keenly realized this was an opportunity, no matter Xu Xiaoshou’s intentions, as long as this day passed…
In the future, he could use this as a reason countless tis to win over Xu Xiaoshou, making him reluctant to take action against him or those around him.
He knew the kind of person Xu Xiaoshou was, ruthless in actions, yet tender-hearted inside, bearing grudges as they ca, repaying favors as they were due.
The favors he owed, regardless of how he ca to owe them, he would always repay them!
Only…
“Ascend Mournful Song?” Yue Gongli hesitated.
“Correct.”
“What are you going to do in that place, it’s not a good place…”
“To make friends.”
What… Yue Gongli was stunned, “What does this an?” His face began to show a faint iron-blue hue.
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled: “There are so misunderstandings between and Bei Huai that I plan to personally resolve at Mournful Song, after which we’ll proceed hand in hand.”
Yue Gongli’s mindset exploded.
What position does this put in?
I have been pleading with you for a friendship, even offering a friendship fee, and you intend to use , surpass , to ascend Mournful Song and beco friends with that freak?
“Am I so kind of matchmaker?”
Others act as matchmakers who bridge connections and foster good alliances.
Here I am lowering myself just to let you use my connection to board Bei Huai’s fast ship?
“Xu Xiaoshou, you are playing with ,” Yue Gongli now wore an offended expression.
“I am being extrely serious.”
Serious?
Haha…
With a glance at Hua Changdeng’s nuanced expression, reminiscent of watching a circus act, Yue Gongli realized he had beco the clown and couldn’t bring himself to smile.
He was genuinely infuriated.
Believing he had offered his true heart, Xu Xiaoshou would treat it with the sa seriousness.
He had not expected it was rely warm feelings hitting a cold behind, from start to finish, he was being toyed with!
“If this really happens, what am I, then?” Yue Gongli eventually couldn’t hold back this question and asked it aloud.
“Hahaha…”
Xu Xiaoshou burst into laughter, his laughter bold and unrestrained.
Yue Gongli’s expression darkened slightly; if Hua Changdeng weren’t present, he might have responded with ease.
Now he was truly between a rock and a hard place, he had placed himself onto a whim, Xu Xiaoshou gave him no way down, and there was soone else observing, making his situation unbearable:
“What are you laughing at?”
“Not laughing, praising you.”
“Praising what?” Yue Gongli took a deep breath to maintain calmness.
Xu Xiaoshou continued laughing, and amid the laughter, he sighed long: “I praise the Cold Palace Emperor Realm’s Young Master as a dragon and phoenix among people, higher than the clouds. I praise Tingyu Pavilion’s Young Master Li’s lifeti of unyielding spirit, not inferior to others.”
Yue Gongli’s expression turned sour.
A clear complint with hidden criticisms, how could he not understand?
But why suddenly resorting to these veiled insinuations…
Xu Xiaoshou paused, retracting his laughter, returning to a calm deanor, looked at the two significant figures ahead, and said gently:
“During the White Cave incident, I was only at the Refining Spirit Innate Realm, seeing Bazhun’an was like seeing the azure sky, unreachable.”
“He forcibly wanted to join the Saint Servants, I had no power to resist, for self-preservation, I feigned compliance and submitted to it.”
Yue Gongli was bewildered, uncertain of Xu Xiaoshou’s sudden ntion of past events, but he continued:
“Yet Bazhun’an never acted superior towards .”
“Even though I was at the bottom rank, and he in the clouds, using as a pawn, repeatedly putting in risky circumstances, he always appeared sincere and genuine during etings…”
Yue Gongli smirked, interrupting: “Perhaps Bazhun’an was three parts like that, but the remaining seven parts were feigned sincerity.”
He couldn’t believe that soone as astute as Xu Xiaoshou would fail to realize these things and ultimately be moved by Bazhun’an’s ‘true sincerity.’
