"Ji Chang had long heard that the old gentleman was a great talent of his time, so how could he be old?"

"Where there's a will, there's a way. Since I've already encountered the old gentleman, it proves that we are indeed destined to meet."

"I sincerely invite you to come down from the mountain, sir. I earnestly request that you do me the honor."

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was full of sincerity, and it seemed that he was indeed deeply affectionate.

"My lord, there's really no need to persuade me any further. I also wished to come out of seclusion to help you, but I am truly lacking in strength and mobility; my heart is willing, but my strength is insufficient."

"Furthermore, this place is deep in the mountains, far from Xiqi City. I cannot endure such a grueling journey to reach Xiqi City."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, felt as if he were about to vomit blood.

This old guy is utterly shameless; he's incredibly hypocritical.

He kept saying that those who were willing would take the bait, but now that he's taken the bait himself, this old scoundrel is starting to act all high and mighty, putting on airs. His hypocritical and despicable behavior is disgusting to watch.

What exactly does this old fellow want? Does he expect him, the dignified Marquis Ji Chang of the West, to kneel on the ground and beg him?

At this moment, he was internally screaming, "This damned guy is so despicable and hypocritical! He's clearly a whore trying to act virtuous!"

In reality, what difference is there between this so-called Jiang Ziya and myself?

He himself cannot live without the gods and Buddhas, but Jiang Ziya, as the representative of the gods and Buddhas, also cannot live without himself.

Now that I've come begging to him, this old man is still so despicable, still so hypocritical in his refusal. It's infuriating.

He did have the thought of leaving immediately, but he ultimately managed to restrain himself.

"Sir, your legs may be a little weak, but it's actually nothing to worry about."

"After all, I came by carriage this time, and I would be happy to ride with you, sir."

"Of course I can't let you suffer that kind of hardship, sir. Please don't refuse anymore. I am truly sincere. If you were to decline too much, it wouldn't be very polite or reasonable, would it?"

Marquis Ji Chang of the West had clearly reached his limit of patience.

If this old guy keeps being so dramatic, then he won't care anymore.

After all, things have come to this point; what else can we ask him to do?

Jiang Ziya nodded upon hearing the other person's words, but ultimately sighed.

"My lord, it's not that I'm being pretentious, but I've been sitting cross-legged while fishing for years, which has now caused poor blood circulation in my legs."

"These old, calloused legs are really hurting terribly. The mountain paths are rugged, and I can't walk very far anymore."

These words not only displeased Marquis Ji Chang of the West, but also made Ji Fa look displeased.

This old guy is really pushing his luck!

Such actions are utterly despicable.

He clearly has a desire to renounce the world, yet he insists on putting on airs and making excuses, which is truly embarrassing.

"Since you are unwilling to come out of seclusion..."

"Then that's fine, let's head back now!"

As he spoke, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to walk back.

He has completely lost face.

However, the other party still refused to come out of retirement.

They're still clinging to this ugly posture.

Since that's the case, let's just leave it at that.

This is a two-way journey.

One cannot live without the gods and Buddhas, and the gods and Buddhas, in turn, cannot live without one's own desires.

But this so-called Jiang Ziya is deliberately being mysterious, putting on airs, and making things difficult for himself.

Since that's the case.

Let it be then.

As the saying goes, "Jiang Ziya fishes, and those who are willing will take the bait."

If the fish refuses to take the bait, won't Jiang Ziya just sit there doing nothing?

Isn't it just a two-way journey?

On the surface, it seems like the fish are willingly caught, but isn't it actually a manifestation of a huge desire for the fish?

A mocking smile appeared on Marquis Ji Chang of the West's lips.

He then straightened his clothes and prepared to leave.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ziya, sitting on the other side, revealed an unpleasant expression.

I never expected this guy to be so easily provoked by my challenges.

This is nothing!

So you've already lost your patience?

He did it on purpose, to see what kind of character this Marquis of Marquis of the West truly possessed.

It seems that the Holy Lord of Marquis of the West is not very skilled in the art of forbearance.

However, it seems that what I did really went a bit too far.

After all, the other party was Marquis Ji Chang of the West.

It's understandable that he couldn't tolerate being so difficult.

He immediately burst into laughter.

Seeing Jiang Ziya laugh.

The awkward atmosphere has eased somewhat.

Marquis Ji Chang of the West then took a deep breath and turned his head back.

"I've just thought of a solution."

"Since this gentleman has difficulty walking, then let me carry you out!"

A strange look flashed across Jiang Ziya's eyes once again.

"How can this be? Your Highness is of such noble status, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, had a slightly gloomy expression.

Since things have already come to this point, I might as well throw caution to the wind.

"How could we be reluctant? It is an honor for Xiqi for such a great person as you to come out of seclusion."

What harm would it do to carry Mr. [referring to a person] on my back?

As he spoke, he bent down and took Jiang Ziya's arm.

Now that things have come to this, Jiang Ziya has no choice but to go, whether he wants to or not.

He simply carried Jiang Ziya on his back.

He immediately carried Jiang Ziya on his back and walked back.

He asked questions as he walked.

"Sir, is my carrying secure?"

Jiang Ziya's expression turned strange.

It's clear that the Marquis of the West hasn't let go of his anger yet.

However, to be able to act so strangely, one must have some patience.

At this moment, Ji Chang's expression turned somewhat grim.

Because he had already remembered the Human Emperor of Chaoge.

What would happen if the Human Emperor of Chaoge were in such a situation?

Would Jiang Ziya be just as arrogant if he encountered the Human Emperor of Chaoge?

Would Jiang Ziya have that Human Emperor carry him on his back?

These matters lingered in the mind of Marquis Ji Chang of the West.

Actually, this is quite obvious.

Jiang Ziya would never dare to be so arrogant in front of the Human Emperor.

It was even more impossible for the Human Emperor to carry him.

After this comparison, he realized he was no match for the Human Emperor of Chaoge, which naturally made him feel frustrated.

Perhaps Jiang Ziya is so arrogant in front of me, is nothing more than a dog in front of the Human Emperor?

Those Saint are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of the Human Emperor.

And what's more, it's just this insignificant Jiang Ziya!

Ji Chang carried Jiang Ziya on his back and walked forward.

His heart was churning with excitement, and his expression was somewhat distorted.

However, they eventually carried Jiang Ziya to the main road, where his carriage stopped.

After placing Jiang Ziya on the carriage Marquis Ji Chang of the West, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had almost never carried anyone on his back in his entire life; this was the first time.

This was clearly an extremely difficult task for him.

But I finally memorized it.

"Sir, please sit comfortably in the carriage. We'll ride together and head back to Xiqi."

"Xiqi has already arranged a banquet; we won't leave until we're drunk tonight."

He was about to climb onto the carriage when Jiang Ziya stopped him.

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, looked at Jiang Ziya with surprise, not understanding what Jiang Ziya meant by this.

Jiang Ziya, however, stared intently at Marquis Ji Chang of the West:

"My lord, since you are so sincere in inviting me to come out of seclusion, then I would like to see just how sincere you are."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang was completely taken aback. Wasn't his sincerity enough?

He, the dignified ruler of Xiqi and Marquis of the West, carried him all the way; isn't that a sign of sincerity?
