Absolute Death Game-Chapter 430 - 42 Xiao Bieli_2

"Do you have anything else you can tell me?" Xiao Buli responded to Xuan Zhenzi’s question with one of his own. Indeed, the things Xuan Zhenzi shared with him had never been determined by what Xiao Buli wanted to ask, but rather by what Xuan Zhenzi wished to divulge. Xuan Zhenzi clearly had his own agenda, yet until that was discovered, Xiao Buli could only act according to his directives since he held the clues Xiao Buli most desperately sought. Without any other options, Xiao Buli had to continue in this manner.

"Alright then, I’ll take my leave, good luck." Having said that, Xuan Zhenzi turned to leave.

"Hold on a moment." Xiao Buli suddenly recalled something. "The system prompted me that you owe me a Magical Treasure. Hand it over."

"Uh~~," Xuan Zhenzi, who had been speaking confidently, suddenly lost his momentum. His body had just been reconstructed; where would he get any Magical Treasure? But now he was essentially a half-NPC and was also bound by the system’s rules. Xiao Buli’s blunt demand put him in an awkward position. "Well, I’m a bit short on treasures at the moment. Once I find a Magical Treasure, I’ll make sure to give you the best one," Xuan Zhenzi negotiated with Xiao Buli.

Little did he know that Xiao Buli waved his index finger from side to side and said, "NO, thank you for the Magical Treasure." He couldn’t let go of the opportunity to leverage this little weakness of Xuan Zhenzi’s.

"Perhaps I could discuss it with Gu Yuexuan to see if there’s something else we could give you," Xuan Zhenzi offered another suggestion.

Xiao Buli didn’t truly intend to coerce him that way—after all, if Xuan Zhenzi turned desperate and ran away, there was little he could do. Moreover, he believed that Mystic Hollow Palace surely had plenty of valuable items. Weighing his options, Xiao Buli reluctantly nodded in agreement.

The two took a shortcut and soon arrived at the main hall of Mystic Hollow Palace, where Gu Yuexuan was presently seated on the same lotus throne that Xuanxu Zi had once meditated upon, his eyes closed, exuding an aura of authority despite his youthful face.

Upon hearing the two enter, Gu Yuexuan opened his eyes and slightly bowed to Xuan Zhenzi as a greeting. "May I know the purpose of Immortal Zun’s visit?"

Though Xuan Zhenzi’s power wasn’t greater than Xuanxu Zi’s, he had indirectly saved Gu Yuexuan’s life, thus warranting his respect.

"About that..." Xuan Zhenzi wrung his hands, feeling somewhat embarrassed to ask for a favor so soon after meeting someone, and squeaked out a dry laugh. "Well, I had issued a task earlier, didn’t I? Whoever saved me would get one of my Magical Treasures, but given my current situation..."

"Immortal Zun, how could I possibly ask you for a Magical Treasure?" Gu Yuexuan quickly interjected before Xuan Zhenzi could finish, eager to declare his stance.

"I, Senior Brother." Xiao Buli piped up in a hurry—what kind of memory did these two have? One forgot to give a reward, and the other seemed to have forgotten having shared the task with him altogether.

Gu Yuexuan first looked at Xiao Buli in surprise, and then it dawned on him. He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right, that matter. Fourth Junior Brother, Immortal Zun helped our sect eradicate the Demon Dao; he is a hero to our sect. Don’t make trouble," he advised, adopting the tone of a Vice Family Head.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Buli knew his reward was in danger of slipping away. "Senior Brother, you can’t say it like that. He helped our sect eradicate the Demon Dao, but have I not made an effort as well? You can’t be biased. Besides, he eradicated the Demon Dao for his own Nascent Soul Fusion. What about me? I’m a lot less selfish than he is. You can’t let a good man suffer."

These words presented a dilemma for the Senior Brother who thought that the Fourth Junior Brother took considerable risks—any member of Mystic Hollow Palace was stronger than him; but he had the audacity to challenge their own master’s decisions. Contemplating this, Gu Yuexuan felt torn and grimaced, "Immortal Zun, what do you think?" indicating, maybe you should still think of a solution yourself.

Too clever to let the Senior Brother finish his thought, Xuan Zhenzi immediately offered, "I do have an idea, if it’s not too much trouble, could you perhaps give me one? When I get a Magical Treasure later, I’ll definitely return it."

Gu Yuexuan realized this was the only recourse for the moment and, thankfully, Mystic Hollow Palace wasn’t in short supply of Magical Treasures. So, he turned to Xiao Buli and asked, "Fourth Junior Brother, what do you fancy?" Thinking that Xiao Buli was pressuring Xuan Zhenzi because he had his eye on something.

Before Xiao Buli could respond, Xuan Zhenzi interjected, "I noticed you’ve raised many Immortal Cranes in the backyard; how about gifting him one of those?" He said this while looking at Xiao Buli with mixed emotions.

Xiao Buli instinctively wanted to reject the suggestion, but noticing the gleeful look directed at him, he remembered the conversation about the Barbaric Wastelands. Although Xiao Buli had only ventured there once, and just to its outskirts, that single encounter almost cost him his life. Perhaps Xuan Zhenzi intended to make his upcoming journey more manageable. With this in mind, the words that reached his lips were forcefully swallowed back.

Gu Yuexuan didn’t see any issue and asked Xiao Buli, "Fourth Junior Brother, are you satisfied with this?"

Xiao Buli hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Gu Yuexuan declared, "In that case, let it be so. I formally present the Immortal Crane to Mr. Xuan Zhenzi." Just then, Xiao Buli heard a pleasant system prompt: You have obtained the reward mount, Auspicious Cloud Immortal Crane, from Xuan Zhenzi.
