Even though Slaughter Star Lord Qinghe had long since prepared himself mentally, the "price" Zhu Xuanhao named still shocked him.
"Three Ancient Method Sutras are one thing. That's no problem."
"But as for Five Elements Star Marrow and Sun-Moon Mystic Nectar, even I only received one portion from the Star Palace in the year I attained True Lord."
"And he actually wants three portions."
"What kind of joke is this? Hm?"
Slaughter Star Lord Qinghe had been cursing when his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the obedient-looking Zhu Xuanhao, his expression turning grave.
"Hao'er."
"Your disciple is here." Zhu Xuanhao hurried forward.
"Tell me the truth." Slaughter Star Lord Qinghe placed a hand on Zhu Xuanhao's shoulder and said softly, "Did you take a kickback?"
"Absolutely not!"
Zhu Xuanhao immediately swore to Heaven. "How could your disciple be that kind of person? Star Lord above, if I, Zhu Xuanhao, took a kickback, then may I die a miserable death."
Slaughter Star Lord Qinghe naturally scoffed at such words. They were all True Lords, forever defying Heaven's principles and roaming as they pleased. Who took mere oaths and curses seriously? Who would believe them? In the end, it still came down to strength. Strength was the hard truth.
But in the next moment, his eyes shifted.
".Fine. Your master believes you."
"But you know my circumstances too. I definitely don't have such rare treasures on hand. How about this? I'll contact the Zhuxuan Clan for you."
The Zhuxuan Clan was one of the Star Palace's four great aristocratic clans.
Passed down through generations, they controlled the Azure Dragon Constellation of the Supreme Star Chart. Of the seven Star Lords in the entire Azure Dragon Constellation, five were disciples of the Zhuxuan Clan.
