The Water Lotus Sect Master

The Water Lotus Sect Master knew that if she continued like this, she was doomed.

He quickly spoke up.

"So it's Young Master Su. I was blind."

"Actually, I was targeting Qin Yingyue, not you."

"We have no deep-seated hatred between us. How about this: you let me go, and I won't pursue what you did. I'll even give you some benefits. What do you say?"

Regardless, I should prioritize preserving my talent.

At this point, she always felt that her talent was slipping away from her.

All their strength was useless.

However, Su Zhan would never believe what the other party said.

Besides, even if he lets the other party go, do you think they'll let Qin Yingyue go?

Definitely not. The other side needs Qin Yingyue to survive; that's inevitable. They can't possibly abandon Qin Yingyue; she's their enemy.

Besides, how could the other party not hold a grudge against him?

Su Zhan sneered.

"Letting you go is impossible. You'll have to try your best."

If I can't do that, then I'll have to say goodbye with regret.

Upon hearing this, the Water Lotus Sect Master became even more flustered and furious.

"Su Zhan, why bother?"

"Cultivation is not easy. I have suffered a lot to get to where I am today. I believe your journey to cultivation has not been smooth sailing either. I just want to take advantage of Qin Yingyue. If you are unhappy, I can give up."

"I can find other ways to survive; it doesn't have to be Qin Yingyue."

"Give me a chance, and I truly won't let you regret it. I'll give you everything from the Water Lotus Sect."

"I won't hold a grudge against you. The victor is king, the loser is villain; I understand that perfectly well."

"I have another Secret Room, right here. Do you see the stone on the right?"

"Move the stone, use the Token on my person to open it, and a staircase will appear; all my treasures are inside."

The Water Lotus Sect Master continuously demonstrated his sincerity.

But Su Zhan remained unmoved.

If you eliminate the other party, won't everything be yours anyway?

Besides, it's impossible to believe anything the other party says, especially their words about letting Qin Yingyue go and not holding a grudge—not a single word of it is true.

Who wouldn't hold a grudge? After all, he wasn't a good person to begin with. It's all about the winner taking all the blame; the other side just doesn't want to lose if they win.

Su Zhan wasn't stupid, but he felt like the other person was treating him like one.

"I advise you to stop talking nonsense. It's good to save your energy. I'm not going to let you go. Can't you see that?"

Su Zhan was not at all hypocritical; there was absolutely no need for him to be.

He said whatever came to mind.

The Water Lotus Sect Master was furious.

"If you insist on doing this, aren't you afraid that after I escape, I'll fight you to the death? Why bother? Su Zhan, you'd better calm down."

Su Zhan actually felt he was very calm, while the other party was not calm at all, actually thinking they could escape.

Su Zhan was too lazy to say anything, and just quietly looked at the other party. The Water Lotus Sect Master also realized that it was useless for her to say anything, so she struggled.

But it was all for naught. Her talent ultimately became a boon, making Su Zhan successful. Su Zhan smiled gratefully.

"Thank you so much. Although I am not the Green Lotus Sacred Body, I have still been of some help. Your cultivation has also become a tonic for me. I don't know what to say. You are truly a kind person."

At this moment, the Water Lotus Sect Master wished the other party would curse her rather than say she was a good person and that she was simply powerless to help.
