Chapter 705: Chapter 554: It’s Not Suitable to Stay Here Long_2
This place is hundreds of miles away from Biyue Prefecture.
At such a distance, the three of them no longer need to worry about being detected by the few Golden Elixir Masters within Biyue Prefecture.
Naturally, after arriving here, He Song and his two companions also stopped.
“Fellow Daoists, as we part now, it is uncertain when we will meet again.”
“I will be leaving Biyue Prefecture this time, and it will likely be a long while before I return here.”
“After all, you have both seen the letter earlier.”
“If any of those Golden Elixir Masters are still around when I return, I am afraid they might come looking for trouble with me.”
“Therefore, when I will return here in the future is also unknown.”
“If you two wish to seek me out in the future, please send a message to me first and then arrange a place for us to meet.”
“I am indebted to you both for your assistance this time, which has allowed me to fulfill my wish. I thank you both.”
Since they had already left Biyue Prefecture far behind, it was naturally time to say goodbye.
At the moment of parting, He Song spoke earnestly and sincerely to bid farewell to Meng Guan and Wei Fan.
At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude for their assistance.
This time, He Song was able to obtain four cultivator Golden Cores, reaping a huge harvest.
Had it not been for the arrival of Meng Guan and Wei Fan, it would have been impossible for He Song to acquire such gains.
It was only natural to voice his gratitude at the moment of parting.
However, after He Song had spoken his farewells and given thanks, a hint of embarrassment flashed across the faces of Meng Guan and Wei Fan.
“Fellow Daoist, please don’t say so. If Wei and I obtain more Cultivator Golden Cores later, we will surely bring them to you.”
“When the time comes, I hope you will not trade Treasures for them again.”
“The Treasures you have given this time are enough for Wei and me to use for a long time.”
“If we bring you Golden Cores next time, we hope that you will just accept them. This is a token of Wei’s and my goodwill, and we hope you will not refuse it.”
“If you still prepare Treasures to trade for the future Cultivator Golden Cores, then I would rather discard the Golden Cores than accept any more Treasures from you.”
“I hope you understand this matter and Wei’s and my sincere intentions.”
“As for meeting in the future, when Wei and I obtain more Cultivator Golden Cores, we can then discuss it.”
“However, we have also seen the message sent by Kangning True Monarch, and indeed, Wei and I are to blame for having wronged you.”
“If you had taken our tokens to seek the Master Guardian, such situations would have never arisen.”
“With the Locking God Cultivators’ attack, it’s uncertain how many of those five will survive.”
“But rest assured, fellow Daoist, Wei and I have committed those five to our memories, and we will certainly avenge this enmity on your behalf to quell the hatred in your heart.”
For Meng Guan and Wei Fan, the matter of Kangning True Monarch sending He Song a message, and the subsequent attempts to coerce and tempt He Song to stay in Biyue Prefecture, could have been avoided.
If they had given He Song their elder’s token earlier, then had He Song to request the help from the two Master Guardians.
Then, He Song would surely have been treated as one of their own and definitely would not have encountered such situations.
Even if Kangning True Monarch and the two Master Guardians truly wished to keep He Song in this place, they would have appealed to his emotions and reason, aiming to persuade him.
Rather than resorting to coercion and bribery as they did before, trying to keep He Song here to help them defend Biyue Prefecture.
After all, if He Song had truly come with tokens from Meng Guan and Wei Fan, it would indicate familiarity between them, portraying him as their good friend.
In such a case, even with a dire situation, the two Master Guardians would have to consider Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s stance.
Forcibly keeping their friend here to help them defend Biyue Prefecture would certainly provoke dissatisfaction.
Provoking the wrath of three Golden Elixir Masters at once is something no Golden Elixir Master would do without hesitation.
As a result, He Song’s situation and the tactics he faced would naturally have been much more lenient than now.
Unfortunately.
There are no ‘ifs’ in this world.
Due to their unwillingness to reveal their identities, and He Song’s intention not to expose them, he chose to rely on his Golden Elixir Realm cultivation to accomplish the task initially.
Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this that He Song subsequently faced such dilemmas.
Meng Guan and Wei Fan, and even He Song himself, had never anticipated this.
Now, when finally confronted with the situation, He Song quickly chose to leave, and Meng Guan and Wei Fan could only try to make amends afterwards.
“`
They truly had not anticipated, merely wishing to conceal their identities, that such an incident would befall He Song.
And precisely because of this, Meng Guan spoke directly, stating he had already taken note of those five Golden Elixir Masters.
If an opportunity arose later, he would surely avenge He Song for this grudge.
As for the matter of continuing to send He Song Cultivator’s Golden Cores, it was something the two had already discussed beforehand.
Previously.
He Song had been adamant, wanting Meng Guan and Wei Fan to accept the resources he offered.
After consulting each other through transmitted messages, Meng Guan and Wei Fan eventually decided to accept those resources.
However, they also arranged in their message exchange,
that in the future, they would still send He Song Cultivator’s Golden Cores.
But the Golden Cores sent hereafter must be accepted without any payment, even if it was for repaying the deeds He Song had done for them.
After reaching an agreement, Meng Guan and Wei Fan then accepted the resources He Song had offered.
And Meng Guan told He Song about this directly, insisting He Song must not refuse.
After explaining all the matters to He Song, Meng Guan did not continue to speak further.
Seizing the moment right after he finished speaking, while He Song had not yet responded, Meng Guan and Wei Fan exchanged a look, and without a word, they quickly headed off into the distance.
At the site.
What was left for He Song were only the retiring figures of Meng Guan and Wei Fan,
and the words Meng Guan had spoken before.
Having fully understood Meng Guan’s words and watching Meng Guan and Wei Fan quickly leaving,
He Song looked in the direction they had departed, and also let out a sigh.
He believed what Meng Guan had said.
Whether it was that they would continue sending him Cultivator’s Golden Cores,
or that Meng Guan would keep those five Golden Elixir Masters in mind, promising to avenge He Song someday,
He Song believed Meng Guan could do it.
But, looking in the direction where Meng Guan and Wei Fan had departed, He Song still planned to persuade his good friend once more.
Not that he wanted to convince Meng Guan to stop sending him Cultivator’s Golden Cores in the future,
nor did he want to tell Meng Guan not to bear in mind those five Golden Elixir Masters and seek revenge for He Song in the future.
He Song merely wanted to urge Meng Guan
to be more cautious in his future actions.
Whether it was sending Cultivator’s Golden Cores to him
or seeking revenge on his behalf, it all required extra caution.
He must wait until there was absolute certainty before taking action.
Additionally, he needed to ensure that no one would detect this action.
Otherwise, the crime of turning against one’s own sect mates was extremely serious and could potentially lead to many consequences.
If they were not careful, there was a risk that Meng Guan and Wei Fan might end up being pursued by the Sun Faction in the future.
Although by then, Meng Guan’s strength would undoubtedly be formidable, and he wouldn’t likely be hunted down to death over this incident,
still, being cautious and avoiding detection was certainly better than courting trouble.
With this thought in mind, He Song’s gaze involuntarily shifted towards the distant Biyue Prefecture.
This time, he had nearly been coerced and enticed by those five Golden Elixir Masters to remain in Biyue Prefecture.
He Song had already taken note of this incident.
If there was a chance later,
as long as He Song was confident he could escape unscathed and take revenge for this betrayal,
perhaps there would be no need to wait for Meng Guan to act, as He Song might personally settle this cause and effect.
But before that,
it was wise to leave this place temporarily.
It was not safe to linger here; the Locking God Sect’s experts might have already been on their way.
