C1341 Digging the Horn
Chu Tian was currently walking on the street alone. Initially, he wanted to return to the West River Mansion like this. After all, apart from Chu Yunxue and Kong Ling, Chu Tian had no other place to go in the Imperial Capital.
On the way back, Chu Tian suddenly frowned. He stopped in his tracks and looked at the street in front of him. A middle-aged man was standing in front of him. His appearance wasn't outstanding. It was easy for him to blend into the crowd.
However, Chu Tian understood that the other party's attention was on him. Furthermore, Chu Tian had seen this man before. He was the expert from the Encyclopedical Good Sect.
"I wonder what's the matter?" Chu Tian said in a flat tone. He didn't have any feelings about being rejected by the Encyclopedical Good Sect. However, the relationship between the West River Mansion and the Encyclopedical Good Sect wasn't good. They were standing in front of him. He was afraid that they had other motives.
"Fellow Daoist Chu Tian, it's really a coincidence that I met you here." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Meeting by chance? Since you said it was a chance encounter, then I have nothing to say. But now that I have joined the West River Mansion, the Encyclopedical Good Sect shouldn't be on good terms with the West River Mansion. So, you are now standing in front of me. What is the matter? " Chu Tian asked.
"Fellow Daoist Chu Tian, don't be angry. I was indeed a bit arbitrary that day. I am the advisor of Encyclopedical Good Sect, Baili Sheng, and you just shut me out like this. I also know that you have joined West River Mansion, but you don't really have a sense of belonging to West River Mansion, do you? Also, since you chose our Encyclopedical Good Sect that day, it must be because of something that attracted you. " The middle-aged man said.
After hearing the latter's words, Chu Tian had already understood his purpose of coming here. The other party should be here to persuade him to join the Encyclopedical Good Sect. It was true that he had only joined the West River Mansion for a day. He didn't have much sense of belonging to the West River Mansion. It would be the best choice to rope them in at this time.
"It's true that I wanted to join the Encyclopedical Good Sect that day, but now I realize that the treatment I get in the West River Mansion isn't bad." Chu Tian shook his head and said.
He had no intention of changing his mind. There was nothing more beneficial than joining the Encyclopedical Good Sect.
After hearing Chu Tian's words, Baili Sheng didn't feel depressed. When he came here, he already knew that it wouldn't be easy to persuade Chu Tian. After all, he had rejected Chu Tian's offer. Now, he felt extremely regretful.
After Chu Tian left that day, Baili Sheng had secretly investigated the matter. He found out that Chu Tian was indeed a cultivator from outside the city, which meant that the possibility of him being a spy was very low. It was the same as him giving up a talent for the Encyclopedical Good Sect and adding a fierce general to his enemy's West River Mansion.
Therefore, in order to prevent this matter from being exposed, Baili Sheng wanted to do his best to rope Chu Tian in.
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Chu Tian is worried that he will be hunted down by the West River Mansion after this? Don't worry about it. The West River Mansion doesn't have the guts to have the Encyclopedical Good Sect as their backer. This wasn't a matter of discussing matters. Did Fellow Daoist Chu Tian intend to move to another place? "Baili Sheng said.
"I don't think so." Before Chu Tian could finish, a fiery red stone appeared in Baili Sheng's hand. Although it was only the size of a fingernail, Chu Tian could feel the pure fire energy from it.
"This is a ore of fire energy. Take it as my meeting gift. Regardless of whether you agree or not, this ore will be given to you. I think this is not a bad thing for you. "Baili Sheng said.
This was the first time he had seen such a Five Elemental Ore. He was indeed interested in this ore. This was indeed a rare opportunity to understand it.
" If that's the case, I will gladly accept it. " Chu Tian said.
"Please, I have already set up a table for you. I have been waiting for you for a long time. "Baili Sheng's face revealed a joyful expression.
After that, Chu Tian also took the Fire Element Ore from the latter's hand. He could feel a warm feeling when he touched it. It was indeed worthy of being the ore that was merged with the Fire Element.
Chu Tian and Baili Sheng just sat in the carriage and left the street. At this moment, not far away, a person also saw this scene. The corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
"Chu Tian, let's see how you are going to explain this to the family head. He actually has a good relationship with the people of Encyclopedical Good Sect. It seems like he is a spy sent by the Encyclopedical Good Sect to our West River Mansion. I was wondering why a Five Direction Stage warrior was brought back by Yu Guangyuan all of a sudden. So that's what happened. "
Moo Xingwen had witnessed the scene just now by chance. Naturally, he felt uncomfortable about this Chu Tian. It seemed like he was at a disadvantage in that battle. In front of so many people... He had undoubtedly made a fool of himself. Therefore, he could now see a good opportunity to make Chu Tian unable to turn the situation around. Naturally, he wouldn't give up so easily.
After that, Moo Xingwen immediately headed towards the prefecture. He had to report this matter to the higher-ups as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if Chu Tian had the chance to react.
Chu Tian wasn't clear about this matter. He and Baili Sheng had come to a luxurious restaurant, and Baili Sheng had specially booked a private room for Chu Tian.
"This restaurant is one of the best places in the Imperial Capital. It will be very difficult to reserve a private room here. However, this is also to express my apology, so I specially prepared this private room for Fellow Daoist Chu Tian. "Baili Sheng explained to Chu Tian.
"Thank you. Actually, you don't have to do this. I was the one who came here recklessly that day. I should be the one to apologize for disturbing you." Chu Tian said.
"I never thought that Fellow Daoist Chu Tian would have such magnanimity. I really admire him. A genius like you should come to my Encyclopedical Good Sect. Only here can you show your true potential. As for the treatment you mentioned just now, don't worry. The conditions that the West River Mansion can give us are something that the Encyclopedical Good Sect can afford. Furthermore, it's even higher than that. I think you should also be clear about the mineral resources at the bottom of the ground. "Baili Sheng said.
After hearing his words, Chu Tian's eyes lit up. His performance was also within Baili Sheng's eyes.
"Looks like brother Chu Tian also understands, but you might not know about it. There was a limit to the number of people who wanted to enter the underground mine. After all, this was to prevent the mine from running dry. The West River Mansion only has five people, but our Encyclopedical Good Sect has seven people. If Fellow Daoist Chu Tian is willing to join the Encyclopedical Good Sect, I will ask the patriarch for permission. Ask him to give you a spot. What do you think?" Baili Sheng said.
Chu Tian revealed a surprised expression, and the changes in his expression were within Baili Sheng's control. After seeing Chu Tian's change in expression, Baili Sheng understood that Chu Tian had been persuaded.
"Our Encyclopedical Good Sect is still above the West River Mansion in terms of power. As long as you are willing to leave the West River Mansion and join the Encyclopedical Good Sect... Then, the Encyclopedical Good Sect will become your backer, and the West River Mansion won't dare to make things difficult for you. "Baili Sheng said.
Chu Tian was silent for a moment, then he didn't say anything. Baili Sheng looked at Chu Tian with anticipation. He believed that Chu Tian had no reason to reject such a condition.
"Baili Sheng, don't you think the conditions you gave me are too generous? It was so generous that it was fake." Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and said.
Baili Sheng was shocked when he saw Chu Tian's gaze. He felt that Chu Tian's gaze seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
