"Young Sect Master He, I had no choice either. Our sect master is truly a heaven-blessed genius. She had already guessed all sorts of things I might encounter on this trip, including your appearance and the huge price you would offer. She had anticipated it all." I spoke with an expression of helplessness. He Luanzi was skilled at chess, so during negotiations, we naturally couldn't reveal only the surface details. We also had to turn the most advantageous plans behind the scenes into a maze of truth and lies to ensnare the other party.
He Luanzi immediately nodded in realization. "So that's how it is. I was wondering—setting up the One Heaven Sect in such a short time and arranging it into this kind of formation must have been the work of an expert. Qingcheng Ruoxue is truly an outstanding immortal with both beauty and talent. I deeply admire her. If I get the chance, I hope I can meet her."
"Young Sect Master, let's discuss our cooperation first. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet our sect master later." I smiled faintly. He Luanzi was so young, so of course he was fond of beauty. Otherwise, the bodyguard sitting behind him wouldn't have been such a beautiful woman.
He Luanzi hurriedly said, "Exactly. I had already guessed that the Third Sect Master would offer an exorbitant price, but I truly didn't expect him to pay such a huge cost. Even waiving the tribute would violate the rules of our Golden Immortal Path. I never thought he would actually do it. This is truly an unprecedented exception—it has practically become a habit."
"Good goods are naturally worth paying a high price for. The more important something is to you, the more you want to get your hands on it.
