Xu Fan was not a greedy person, but today, Xu Fan beca soone else's pawn, constantly at risk of losing his life, constantly being reproached by others. Finally, after a hard-fought victory against four n, he was about to kill all four, but after killing just one, he was interrupted by Pu Xian.
It can be said that today, Xu Fan was indeed quite frustrated, and Pu Xian's appointnt of Xu Fan as the host of the Buddhist Sect had its own little calculations!
In such a situation, if Xu Fan didn't seek so benefits, wouldn't it be a disservice to his conscience?
So, at this mont, Xu Fan cleanly and decisively spat out four big words, "Not interested!"
The four words, spoken in a calm tone, seed to wield imnse power, stirring up a tempest within the Buddhist Sect.
Previously, everyone was vehently opposing Xu Fan becoming the Buddhist Sect host. To oppose Xu Fan, many people went as far as to sar him, believing Xu Fan's entry into the Buddhist Sect today was to vie for the position of host!
However, the four words "not interested" from Xu Fan's mouth were like a cold slap, striking hard on their faces!
The things you all fought tooth and nail for, shed blood and risked your lives to obtain, in my hands, were not worth a penny! Even if you brought them to , I wouldn't care!
Yunzhi was stunned, Yuanyuan was stunned, and the ten thousand monks were all stunned.
No one could have anticipated that, in the face of such a great temptation, Xu Fan could refuse so straightforwardly! Or rather, such a great temptation, in front of Xu Fan, held no allure at all...
This caused countless people to feel ashad!
Among the crowd, only Pu Xian shook his head with a bitter smile.
The reason Pu Xian was absolutely confident in stopping Xu Fan from slaughtering Yunzhi and the others was precisely because Pu Xian knew that appointing Xu Fan as the host of the Buddhist Sect was mutually beneficial for both parties.
How could Xu Fan not be tempted by one of Huaxia's three major forces handed to him for no reason?
Xu Fan rely wanted to extract so benefits from his side! Even being an old fox in Xu Fan's mind, at this mont Pu Xian couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly, marveling at Xu Fan's cunning.
With a smile, Pu Xian subtly tossed the ball back to Xu Fan once again.
"Xu Benefactor, this poor monk knows there were many ways in which today's affairs were unfair to you. How might this poor monk make ands for the bitterness in your heart?"
"Xu Benefactor, have no concerns! Whatever demands you have, feel free to raise them! As long as they do not contravene righteousness, this poor monk will do everything to fulfill them as a ans of making ands to Xu Benefactor!"
Everyone was once again astounded by Pu Xian's words!
Today, Xu Fan indeed suffered unjust treatnt, but that was the process, not the result! From the result, Xu Fan clearly was the greatest beneficiary! Not only did he break through to a new realm, slay Yuan Kong, but he also gained the favor of Pu Xian!
And now, to quell an anger that did not even exist within Xu Fan, Pu Xian, in front of everyone, let Xu Fan na conditions!
This... is more than just favor—it's practically fawning like a father over his son!
However, Pu Xian had his own calculation.
Xu Fan, don't you want benefits? Let's see if you have the nerve to state them in front of ten thousand monks! Pu Xian didn't believe that Xu Fan would dare to ask exorbitantly in front of so many people!
One must admit, Pu Xian is indeed an old scher, yet Xu Fan is no saintly figure either?
eting Pu Xian's sowhat sly gaze, and under the astonished stares of ten thousand monks, Xu Fan maintained a calm expression and spoke loudly, "Thank you, Buddha, for your great kindness, but this humble one is unlearned and of low ability, truly unable to fulfill the role of the Buddhist Sect host. I ask Buddha to find another!"
"Farewell!"
After speaking, Xu Fan surprisingly walked away without looking back, decisively heading towards the exit of the Buddhist Sect!
This scene, once again, left everyone dumbfounded!
The Buddha had already offered such rich conditions, essentially handing over the entire Buddhist Sect and almost freely agreeing to one of Xu Fan's conditions! Although the condition must not violate righteousness, which ans it must align with Pu Xian's wishes... but it is still a condition from a Kai Yang Realm master!
Xu Fan... just refused like that?
Watching Xu Fan's unhurried steps towards the exit of the Buddhist Sect, everyone felt a little breathless, even Yunzhi and his cohort stood in stupefaction.
What they desperately wanted was dismissed by Xu Fan with disdain!
What they dared not even dream of, Xu Fan straightforwardly refused!
Watching that leisurely departing figure, Yunzhi and the others felt as though today was an illusory dream, yet this dream was intensely real, so real that an uncontrollable sense of defeat arose in everyone's heart!
Not only Yunzhi and his cohort, even Pu Xian was slightly stunned at this mont.
Intuition and a cool head told Pu Xian that Xu Fan had absolutely no reason to refuse his conditions, yet, in front of everyone, Xu Fan just refused so cleanly, walking away so elegantly, without hesitation!
Does Xu Fan really have no interest in the Buddhist Sect, in my conditions?
Or...is everything an act by Xu Fan, to retreat in order to advance and gain more?
In fact, the reason Xu Fan made such a choice was obviously the latter!
Xu Fan fought alone, forging ahead through hardships; how many difficulties and challenges had he overco? Now, with Pu Xian offering the Buddhist Sect on a silver platter, if Xu Fan accepted, it would surely be as tigers gaining wings!
However, Xu Fan could not directly agree to Pu Xian's conditions.
In ancient tis, during dynastic transitions, which king or emperor did not repeatedly demur before ascending the throne? Which one did not eventually accept only because they could no longer refuse?
Those ancient emperors did so to display humility, to align with the way of heaven, whereas Xu Fan aid to win hearts with this maneuver.
A Buddhist Sect without a single obedient mber would be of no use to Xu Fan, no matter how powerful it might be!
Besides, who would Xu Fan be to allow Pu Xian to manipulate him at will? Since Pu Xian had tossed the ball to him, it wouldn't be easy to take it back...
This move of Xu Fan's was indeed to retreat in order to advance!
If Xu Fan truly wanted to leave the Buddhist Sect, he could have unfurled his Fire Wings, activated his Luo Yan Step at the half-step Perfection Realm, and in the blink of an eye, stepped out of the Buddhist Sect—no need to walk away slowly!
"Xu Benefactor! Please stay!"
A voice, compassionate yet tinged with helplessness, sounded out as Xu Fan turned his back on everyone, a slight smile tugging at his lips.
Pu Xian still couldn't overco his own impulse in the end.
In this round of strategic maneuvers between Xu Fan and Pu Xian, Xu Fan was, without a doubt, the victor once more!
