Duobao Pavilion Headquarters.
After Elder Tian Ji and the three Pavilion Masters returned, they all felt a sense of relief.
They understood that this ti the Immortal Emperor mainly sought to see the Wang family’s attitude. Since Wang Fugui, representing the Wang family, chose not to pursue matters with the Duobao Pavilion, the Immortal Emperor followed suit and did not press further.
The key lay in Wang Fugui’s attitude, which was evidently quite friendly towards the Duobao Pavilion.
Otherwise, given the Immortal Emperor’s temper, he likely wouldn’t let it go so easily.
"Sanbao, consider yourself lucky to have passed this ti," Elder Tian Ji sternly admonished. "But for the internal rectification actions in Duobao Pavilion henceforth, you three must not let up. The Red Moon Demon Dynasty will also begin a major rectification action."
"Yes, Master." The three Pavilion Masters quickly accepted the order and saluted.
"Moreover, Immortal Emperor Guangming has advanced to the Mid Stage True Immortal, which will affect the changes in the world situation," Elder Tian Ji said, his face sowhat grave. "For those of us who are neutral, such situations are the most fearful. Whether the East Wind overwhelms the West Wind or vice versa, our living environnt will beco increasingly severe."
"Master, should we support the Demonic Dynasty with so resources?" True Monarch Jin asked in a low voice. "This way, we can help balance the strength between the Immortal and Demonic Dynasties."
"Absolutely not," Elder Tian Ji firmly refused. "The Demonic Dynasty has its own foundation and is not easily suppressed by the Immortal Dynasty. At this ti, we should maintain a neutral stance, neither leaning towards one side nor the other. Otherwise, if the Immortal Emperor discovers this, given her character, she will take extre asures, forcing us either to side with the Immortal Dynasty to suppress the Demonic Dynasty or to side with the Demonic Dynasty to resist the Immortal Dynasty."
"Yes, Master." The three Pavilion Masters responded again, all with rather poor expressions, fearing a single misstep in the current situation.
"Everyone, don’t worry too much," Elder Tian Ji said confidently. "Though my lifespan is limited, I can rely on my Divine Soul to delay ti through slumber, indirectly extending my presence in the world. Both the Immortal and Demonic Dynasties are quite wary of and dare not offend too harshly."
After a pause, Elder Tian Ji curiously asked, "By the way, during the audience with the Immortal Emperor today, who was that young man riding the puppet spider?"
"Master, you must be referring to Wang Ningxi," True Monarch Sanbao replied. "This young man is also from the Wang’s family in Dongqian Changning, a legendary figure in the Immortal Dynasty. Not to ntion his extraordinary talent in Artifact Refining and puppetry, his conduct is infamously unscrupulous, with endless thods of poaching talents, even causing the Immortal Emperor to find him extrely troubleso."
"Another one from the Changning Wang Clan?" Elder Tian Ji frowned. "The Changning Wang Clan has such profound heritage; if they haven’t encountered so great opportunity, then it must be an ancient legacy gradually erging."
"Regardless of which is the case, we should act favorably towards them and form good relationships. His puppet spider is quite unique, with each joint flexible and detailed, crafted with extraordinary finesse, and seemingly possessing preliminary Artifact Spirit intelligence. Interesting, very interesting. Sanbao, go invite him over; I want to have a chat with him. If his aptitude is extraordinary, we can give him so benefits."
"Yes, Master. I was just about to thank Wang Fugui," True Monarch Sanbao responded eagerly and left with enthusiasm.
At the sa ti.
In the luxurious guest courtyard of the Great Qian Wang Clan’s inner residence.
"Fugui, it’s hard for , Wang Ningxi," Wang Ningxi lanted, sitting on the puppet spider and sipping Spiritual Tea. "This ti, the family task is only half done, and I don’t know if Elder Tian Ji will take the bait."
"Forty-Seventh Uncle, as they say, more ability ans more work." Wang Fugui consoled him with a smile as he brewed tea. "I’ve co to understand it well. This ti, you rode the puppet spider to et the Immortal Emperor, actually fishing to pique Elder Tian Ji’s interest. I don’t know what to say to you—why not directly approach Elder Tian Ji to showcase your talents?"
"I believe with Elder Tian Ji’s insight, he will surely hold you in great esteem."
Wang Ningxi adjusted his position on the puppet spider for greater comfort and shook his head, saying, "Fugui, I admit you’re more competent in military strategies and conspiracies, but when it cos to poaching talents, I’m more adept."
"As the saying goes, sothing that cos easily isn’t treasured. I must keep Elder Tian Ji interested yet not easily satisfied, so he becos increasingly curious and views as a treasure."
"Fugui, let teach you eight words of wisdom: ’hot and cold, near and far.’
"..." Wang Fugui gazed deeply at his complacent Forty-Seventh Uncle, having heard tales of his uncle’s cunning tactics; today, he truly witnessed it firsthand.
Sigh~ He rembers that when his Forty-Seventh Uncle was younger, he was quite righteous. What exactly transpired to gradually transform him into his current self?
As the uncle and nephew continued their conversation, they heard a report from the gatekeeper of the Great Qian Wang Clan saying that True Monarch Sanbao had co to express his gratitude to Wang Fugui.
As a well-renowned and preeminent Transcendent Void Realm senior, True Monarch Sanbao naturally couldn’t be slighted by Wang Fugui. He and Wang Ningxi went out imdiately to greet him proactively.
After so pleasantries, True Monarch Sanbao was invited into the guest courtyard.
After a brief reception in the courtyard, True Monarch Sanbao extended his gratitude once again, insisting on giving the Immortal Spirit Stone to Wang Fugui, and subsequently inviting Wang Ningxi to visit the Duobao Pavilion, stating that Elder Tian Ji had requested his presence.
