But what was with that smile hanging at the corner of Xuanqing's lips?
Hongjun was practically about to explode from anger at Ancestor Reincarnation and Xuanqing, master and disciple.
Even mocking Hongjun had to have limits, didn't it?!
They were mocking him to his face—and both master and disciple were doing it together.
Most crucially, Xuanqing, a Great Luo Golden Immortal ant in Hongjun's eyes, actually dared to mock him too.
One did not fear mockery from those stronger than oneself or on equal footing; what one feared was being mocked even by those weaker than oneself.
And this was face-to-face mockery, a point-blank ultimate move.
Even so, Hongjun's face revealed no expression.
In his heart, Hongjun had already sentenced Reincarnation and Xuanqing to death—the most extreme sentence possible.
"Reincarnation Daoist Friend's conditions are rather outrageous."
Hongjun forcibly squeezed out a smile. As long as Ancestor Reincarnation participated in the Conflict between Dao and Demon, everything could be negotiated.
Besides, if Reincarnation died in the Conflict between Dao and Demon, wouldn't everything Hongjun paid out return to him in full?
Hongjun consoled himself that way inwardly.
"Oh? Outrageous? It does seem a tiny bit outrageous.
But Poor Daoist is asking the heavens for a price; Daoist Friend can bargain on the spot.
Who would have thought Daoist Friend was so impatient? You stood up and tried to leave right away.
That is Daoist Friend's fault. Daoist Friend must apologize for it."
Reincarnation spoke with utmost seriousness.
He was practically pressing Hongjun's face into the ground and grinding it back and forth.
Not only was he humiliating Hongjun, he even wanted Hongjun to apologize.
*I'll endure it, I'll endure it! So long as Reincarnation goes to the Western Continent, This Seat will absolutely be the first to make sure he dies
