Chapter 65 - 65: Internal News
After all, this matter couldn’t be out in the open.
The reward was also personally applied for by Zhao Lin for He Song.
This belated credit naturally had to be spoken by Zhao Lin himself to make it seem even more cherished.
He Song, who had been friends with Zhao Lin for several years, had some understanding of the character of his friend before him.
A word of gratitude from him would make Zhao Lin happy for a long time.
However.
It was He Song who had someone kill an Immortal Pavilion cultivator who wanted to harm him.
As a result, after Zhao Lin’s operation, it became He Song who had rooted out the Evil Cultivator hidden in the Immortal Pavilion.
And even applied for a reward on this basis.
This… if it weren’t for the fact that he was manipulating everything, He Song might have believed his nonsense.
So considerate of himself.
It was only natural for He Song not to skimp on just a word of gratitude to Zhao Lin.
“Fellow Daoist is being too modest. As a spiritual plant farmer, it means you are working for the Immortal Pavilion, and your contributions will naturally be noted by the Immortal Pavilion. There’s no such thing as no contribution.”
Shaking his head, Zhao Lin affirmed He Song’s contribution to the Immortal Pavilion.
Meanwhile, his right hand wiped the table.
Immediately, a delicate small box appeared in front of He Song.
“Fellow Daoist often forget things. Three years ago, you eliminated a great harm for the Immortal Pavilion. Such merit cannot be said to be without contribution. Now, the Immortal Pavilion has issued a reward, and I naturally have to deliver it personally.”
Zhao Lin pushed the small box in front of him towards He Song, and his face was filled with a smile, but he did not mention his efforts in this matter.
Three years ago.
When the sound-transmitting paper crane released by He Song fell into his hands.
The hint of Qi-refining late stage energy contained in it had greatly shocked him at the time.
Not until then.
Did he finally understand.
Why Meng Guan had specially instructed him to hang out with He Song before leaving.
Not until then.
Did he finally understand.
Why He Song was able to come to his door on the day Meng Guan left, bringing gifts and making friends.
Not until then… did everything seem to have an answer.
That was one reason why he had agreed so readily back then.
Although he was naturally cautious, he was already friends with He Song three years ago, and naturally would be even more cautious when facing a matter that could affect one’s life and death.
Worried about retaliation from Chen Zhou afterwards.
Worried about being held accountable by the Immortal Pavilion afterwards.
Worried…
But.
When he sensed the breath of a Qi-refining late stage cultivator on the sound -transmitting paper crane released by He Song, his doubts disappeared. With a Qi-refining late stage cultivator taking action, Chen Zhou was bound to die!
In the absence of any worries, and also being able to make good impressions with He Song.
Even if he was cautious by nature, he couldn’t refuse this matter.
And that was also why he had agreed so readily back then and even specially applied for a reward for He Song.
He knew that with this Qi-refining late stage cultivator, this matter would definitely succeed!
Now.
The matter had indeed succeeded.
Although three years had passed, he still delivered the reward to He Song’s hands for the first time as he had said back then.
“So that’s the reason. Thanks to Fellow Daoist’s help for this matter, without your help, there might have been complications. I have to thank Fellow Daoist first.
Hearing this, He Song’s face instantly showed an appropriately astounded expression.
And while thanking him, he also stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhao Lin to show his gratitude.
He Song naturally acted like this.
He took the benefit himself.
Naturally, he had to express his gratitude to the good friend who had helped him with the matter, and show his appreciative attitude.
People should give and take, they give real benefits, and naturally, you should also give something in return.
Not to mention more, you must at least show an appreciative attitude.
He didn’t know what was in that little box, but even if it was just a few spirit stones, he still gained from it.
A few words of gratitude could earn a few spirit stones.
SUCH good fortune, if it were to be known, many cultivators would be bleeding for it.
“It’s a small matter, it’s just a small matter fellow Daoist. Being able to help you, I am already very happy.” Zhao Lin’s face was smiling as he hurriedly returned the greeting.
But looking at the laughter between his eyebrows, He Song knew that Zhao Lin’s mood was very good at this moment.
Seeing this, He Song suddenly understood that his goal had been achieved.
In the next few days.
Zhao Lin’s mood would probably be very good.
As for this, He Song was naturally happy to see it happen.
He got the benefits.
His friend got a good mood.
It was the best of both worlds.
He Song accepted the small box, and Zhao Lin’s purpose of coming here was achieved.
Next, the two naturally began to chat casually.
“Fellow Daoist, do you know why the reward had to come at this time, not earlier or later?” After a few cups of tea, Zhao Lin lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.
From his words, it seemed that there was some secret hidden within.
He Song was intrigued and immediately became interested in the matter.
Right.
It has been three years.
In these three years, He Song had almost forgotten about it.
Why did the reward suddenly come through?
Looking at Zhao Lin’s mysterious appearance, He Song suddenly realized that what Zhao Lin was about to say next must have something to do with this matter.
However.
To get Zhao Lin to explain in detail.
He had to ask first.
“I don’t know about this. Does Fellow Daoist have any inside information?” Shaking his head, He Song also lowered his voice and asked.
On the side, seeing He Song playing by the rules, Zhao Lin’s face immediately showed a fleeting joy.
Since he had received this secret information, he had never told anyone about it, and had kept it bottled up in his heart.
The feeling of knowing a secret.
But not being able to share it with others.
It was a little uncomfortable.
Now, by personally delivering the reward to He Song, he could finally talk freely.
After all, this is the outer area of the Immortal Pavilion, even if this information is heard by someone, it won’t harm anything.
With his mind made up, Zhao Lin began to speak. “Fellow Daoist, do you remember the cultivator named Chen Zhou three years
He Song nodded and gestured for Zhao Lin to continue.
“Since Fellow Daoist remembers, you should also remember the reason why I asked for credit for you back then.”
Taking a light sip from his teacup, Zhao Lin’s voice sounded again.
“At that time, when I asked for credit for Fellow Daoist, I said that Chen Zhou bullied the weak and extorted spirit stones every day, committing all kinds of evil deeds, and his crimes were extremely heinous.”
Saying this, Zhao Lin looked at He Song with a hint of sentiment on his face.
Then he shook his head and continued speaking in detail.
“This matter actually has a reason.”
“Six years ago, after the Immortal Pavilion suffered a great calamity, the low-level cultivators of the Immortal Pavilion were almost cut off. Most of the surviving cultivators had means to not suffer hardship in that calamity..”
