"Sect Master, this... isn't the price of returning to the sect a little too steep?"
The Cheng Family head shook his head. After thinking it over and over, he still refused Bai Lan.
If he truly signed a Divine Soul Contract with Bai Lan, wouldn't he, a dignified Core Formation cultivator, become subject to the control of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
That was far too unreasonable!
Although the Foundation Establishment cultivator before him had an extraordinary background, the Spirit Transformation cultivator of the Spirit Taming Sect was merely Bai Lan's one-sided claim.
Whether there truly was a Spirit Transformation cultivator, or whether Bai Lan had simply conjured one out of her words, remained to be seen.
Untrustworthy. Untrustworthy.
"Too steep?" Bai Lan slowly rose to her feet and shook her head. "Forget it. I had intended to give the Cheng Family that medium-sized Spirit Vein within the sect, but it seems this Sect Master has been making a fool of herself with misplaced affection."
The Cheng Family head's eyes lit up. A medium-sized Spirit Vein?
That was a Spirit Vein! She was offering it just like that. Was that something a fallen sect could afford to give away?
After Bai Lan finished speaking, she waved a hand and rose to leave, only for the Cheng Family head to stop her once more.
"Sect Master! Sect Master, please wait."
The Cheng Family head stepped forward, his smile turning warm once again. "Everything can be discussed. I only wonder, where is that medium-sized Spirit Vein now? If we are to return to the sect, does my Cheng Family need to relocate our entire household to the Spirit Taming Sect?"
"There is no rush to relocate. Your Cheng Family's century-old foundation in Hongyan City cannot simply be abandoned..." Bai Lan shook her head.
