He Pingsheng smiled!
This was precisely what he had been waiting to hear.
Earlier, he had heard Long Wuxiang say that the divine bone came from the White Elephant Lineage.
The White Elephant Lineage?
Isn't that the lineage my nominal master, Divine Emperor White Elephant, belongs to?
If that's the case, we're all on the same side, especially since Divine Emperor White Elephant is a kindly soul who cultivates the Great Dao of Goodness.
That settles it. Resolving cause and effect among our own doesn't count as interfering in someone else's cause and effect.
But whether this white elephant actually had anything to do with Divine Emperor White Elephant remained uncertain.
Now that this fellow Bai Yichen had personally admitted he belonged to a Divine Emperor's lineage, however, He Pingsheng was more or less certain.
"A Divine Emperor's lineage?" With a smile on his face, He Pingsheng said, "Fine... since you come from a Divine Emperor's lineage, name your price!"
"I stand by what I said. You can take the item, but you must pay a certain price!"
"You can't make my friend's efforts go to waste. After all, he risked his life bringing it out of the Dao Collapse and Yellow Fall Deadly Grounds!"
"Fine, I'm willing to name a price!" Bai Yichen rose from the ground. He glanced again at Zheng Honglu, who still held her bow drawn in the distant void, and said, "Can she lower that bow now?"
He Pingsheng waved to Zheng Honglu.
Zheng Honglu put away her divine weapon.
He Pingsheng said, "Honglu, don't worry. You must not attack without my command!"
He Pingsheng was afraid too!
He's a Divine Emperor's descendant. Although I have a little friendship with Divine Emperor White Elephant, heaven knows what would happen if that arrow killed Bai Yichen.
