You Think That's Too Little? I Think It's Too Much! No Deal on Thirty Percent! An Invitation from Qingyuan?
A seventy-thirty split?
At that, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin exchanged a glance.
Both pondered whether it was workable.
After a moment's thought, they decided it seemed reasonable enough.
Once Daoist Jieyin nodded, Daoist Zhunti smiled at Qingyuan. "Martial Nephew, your terms seem reasonable. Thirty percent it is. We agree!"
A seventy-thirty split did make sense.
After all, every Hunyuan Saint present was Qingyuan's disciple, and neither the Heavenly Dao Saints nor the Dao Ancestor wanted to make an enemy of him.
Anyone could see who held the greatest power in the Primordial Wilderness now!
When the time came for the Western Flourishing,
they would certainly need Qingyuan's help. Without it, the whole undertaking would go nowhere!
It was reasonable for Qingyuan to take thirty percent of the Merit and distribute it. There was no reason to refuse.
"Excellent. Since you agree to a seventy-thirty split, let's put it in writing. We can sign before Grandmaster and all the Saints, so no one can go back on their word later. What do you say?"
Qingyuan smiled faintly.
The two had no reason to refuse and nodded their agreement.
Then
Qingyuan drew up two copies of the agreement on the spot, handing one to the Dao Ancestor to review and the other to Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin.
Hongjun took one look.
His eyelid twitched, but he said nothing.
He passed the agreement to the other Heavenly Dao Saints.
Grand Pure Laozi looked it over, then handed it to Venerable Yuanshi with an odd expression. After reading it, Venerable Yuanshi passed it to Sect Master Tongtian with an equally strange look.
Meanwhile, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin
scoured their copy word by word for anything amiss.
They feared Qingyuan had slipped some trick of wording into it that would leave them
