"I have value!" Chen Junwei cried.
He truly did not want to sign the employment contract. "May I ask, Immortal Master... when you wiped out the Gu Family, did you obtain a Stone Mace?"
"The Stone Mace?" Feng Jun glanced at him, then nodded. He had no reason to lie over such a minor matter. "Yes, I did... The imperial court is quite interested in that mace. What do you know about it?"
Chen Junwei's eyes lit up. "Was there a shabby wooden box around that Stone Mace?"
"Shabby would be an exaggeration. It was somewhat old," Feng Jun said, shaking his head. He had also felt that there was something strange about the wooden box. He had not even let Mr. Shi and the others see it, taking only the bare single mace outside. Yet he had never managed to figure out its secrets.
But now, it seemed the Chen Family knew more, perhaps even knew of the wooden box's existence.
"Hundred Flowers Tower was destroyed because of that wooden box." Chen Junwei bared his teeth in a grin. "My Chen Family did not participate in the siege of Hundred Flowers Tower because we feared getting entangled with the box and being unable to explain ourselves. That was because... there was an immortal cultivation technique on the box!"
"You're joking, right?" Feng Jun smiled dismissively. "I saw that box. Where was there any cultivation technique?"
"There really was one." Chen Junwei spoke seriously. "To be honest, once my brother reaches great completion in Mortal Transcendence, he will need a fortuitous opportunity to enter Qi Condensation... That wooden box was one of the opportunities I had in mind."
Feng Jun shook his head. "It's just a rumor that got distorted. There's nothing on it... You're overthinking it."
"There really is!"
