Inside a resplendent, gold-and-jade palace, Ye Lin and the others sat together with Qin Unrivaled.
"Last time, I had you to thank for escorting me safely. That is why I can sit here and share a drink with you today."
Holding his cup, Qin Unrivaled said with a light smile.
"You paid, and I did the work. It was merely a fair deal—there is no need to speak of thanks."
Ye Lin replied casually.
You paid, I provided the labor. It truly had been a fair transaction.
"A fair deal? I suppose so."
"What are your plans from here on?"
Qin Unrivaled lifted his cup, took a small sip, and spoke indifferently.
"My plans from here on? Naturally, to head for the Starry Sky."
"To the Starry Sky? The Demon-Monster Realm is advancing with great momentum. If their scheme succeeds, I fear neither you nor I will have a chance to go to the Starry Sky."
At those words, Ye Lin narrowed his eyes at Qin Unrivaled.
This fellow was speaking with hidden meaning.
"Say it. What do you mean?"
Ye Lin had no patience to guess what he was trying to say and asked outright.
"Hahaha, what do I mean? Naturally, I mean you should follow me and join the Immortal God Realm in resisting the demons and monsters."
"After a round of calculations, the great powers of my Great Qin Imperial Dynasty arrived at a conclusion: three thousand years."
"In three thousand years, the passage leading to the Starry Sky will open. All we need to do is hold off the Demon-Monster Realm for three thousand years."
"Once the passage opens, the Demon-Monster Realm's plan will fail completely."
"So, I fear you cannot remain uninvolved, Daoist friend. After all, this concerns both your life and mine."
