Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Although He Song had already clearly rejected the matter, True Monarch Fei Hu, who had been mentally prepared for this, did not take offence.

The friendship he had forged with He Song over the past several months was not feigned.

Naturally, he could not harbor any resentment towards He Song just because He Song had not agreed to the matter.

He merely felt it was a pity.

If He Song had agreed, the chances of success for this endeavor would have greatly increased.

The name of True Monarch Fei Hu might soon have once again lived up to its reputation.

But unfortunately,

He Song did not agree.

And this led to a significant decrease in the likelihood of success for the venture.

Now, he not only had to consider the threat from the Twin-winged White Tiger but also ponder whether the Golden Elixir Masters he had sought help from might betray him.

However, all of this still called for long-term planning.

The fact that True Monarch Fei Hu had spent several months here just to solicit He Song’s assistance showed he was not an impatient person.

Now that He Song had not agreed to the matter, he would naturally start to replan, aiming to minimize the risks involved.

Perhaps, even without He Song, he would still be able to pull it off.

Seeing that True Monarch Fei Hu simply shook his head with a sigh and did not engage in any outrageous behavior, and even gave up on the idea of continuing to ask for his help in a mere moment, He Song felt reassured.

It seems that True Monarch Fei Hu’s character shown over the past several months was indeed genuine.

Over these months, not only had True Monarch Fei Hu come to understand He Song’s character.

He Song, of course, had also come to understand True Monarch Fei Hu’s personality.

True Monarch Fei Hu felt that He Song had no desires or cravings, his standards extremely high, and seemed to take no interest in any treasures.

He Song, on the other hand, viewed True Monarch Fei Hu as straightforward with courage and carefulness, and his approach to affairs as decisive and swift.

And it was precisely for these reasons that He Song had not turned him away over these months.

After all, He Song had already faintly perceived something amiss.

If he hadn’t realized that True Monarch Fei Hu was not the sneaky and malicious type, how could he possibly have mingled with him for months?

If True Monarch Fei Hu’s character had been otherwise,

He Song would probably have closed his doors to him long ago, not bothering to waste any words with him.

Therefore, True Monarch Fei Hu’s reaction was within He Song’s expectations and did not arouse any suspicion.

In He Song’s understanding of True Monarch Fei Hu, that’s just the kind of person he was.

The decisive and swift True Monarch Fei Hu, upon realizing that He Song would not agree to the matter, certainly would not continue to pester He Song.

Instead, he would quickly shift his focus and begin to contemplate the viability of other methods.

This was the conclusion that He Song had drawn from understanding True Monarch Fei Hu’s character over these months.

However, although there was no surprise in True Monarch Fei Hu’s reaction,

He Song still became somewhat more cautious in his heart.

He was about to leave this place.

And his itinerary was known to True Monarch Fei Hu.

Under such circumstances, he must exercise caution when departing.

Otherwise, should True Monarch Fei Hu have any ideas afterwards, the consequences might be unpredictable.

Although with his own strength, even if True Monarch Fei Hu gathered several Golden Elixir Masters to set an ambush for He Song, it would not pose much of a threat to He Song.

But it’s better to be safe than sorry.

If something were to happen at that time, it would probably be too late for regrets.

In such a situation, He Song naturally placed his own safety as his top priority.

Fortunately, He Song had already left a way out for himself hundreds of miles outside Zichuan Prefecture Government.

Before truly leaving Zichuan Prefecture Government, He Song could enter the Divine Thunder Array he had set up in advance and stay there for some time.

Once assured that True Monarch Fei Hu indeed had no unusual intentions, He Song could then leave quietly.

In doing so, the security of He Song would naturally be maximally ensured.

As these thoughts flickered through his mind, He Song’s emotions gradually calmed down.

Then, he gave a hand gesture to True Monarch Fei Hu.

“Thank you, fellow Daoist, for understanding.”

“I have indeed spent too much time in Zichuan Prefecture Government.”

“I will surely leave this place in the near future to continue my wandering journey.”

“It is my good fortune to have made your acquaintance over these months.”

“If by chance I find some leisure in the future, I will certainly come here again to have a good chat with you.”

“As for what you’ve mentioned earlier, I shall not reveal a word to anyone, not even to those closest to me.”

“Please rest assured.”

He Song first agreed to True Monarch Fei Hu’s invitation, saying that if he had spare time in the future, he would surely return to visit and socialize.

Then, he reassured him once more, promising that he would absolutely not disclose the matter of the Twin-winged White Tiger to anyone else.

With He Song’s repeated assurances, his persuasiveness naturally increased.

Just as True Monarch Fei Hu felt a deeper conviction upon hearing He Song’s promise once again.

However, True Monarch Fei Hu actually already had an answer in his heart and did not experience much emotional fluctuation with He Song’s response.

In this manner,

He Song continued to sit with True Monarch Fei Hu in the small pavilion, savoring tea.

And knowing that He Song would leave in a few days, True Monarch Fei Hu also took the opportunity to bid him farewell.
