Chapter 628: Chapter 516: When the Map is Exhausted, the Dagger is Revealed (Part 1)
By that time.
If the three of them stood together, even if the Golden Elixir Master he had invited had any designs, it would be very difficult for them to realize them.
If they were even more cautious and invited two more Golden Elixir Masters besides the three, even if those two joined forces, they were unlikely to make much of an impact.
With such thoughts, True Monarch Fei Hu looked at He Song with eagerness filling his gaze.
At this moment, he had even begun to fantasize about the great increase in strength he would enjoy after subduing the Twin-winged White Tiger.
In his heart, as long as He Song agreed to his request, the capture of the Twin-winged White Tiger would be as good as secured.
With He Song, himself, and another Golden Elixir Master from Purple River State, who was on good terms with him, forming an alliance.
Three Golden Elixir Masters united as one.
Even if another one or two Golden Elixir Masters had any ideas, they would likely fail to stir up any trouble.
In such a scenario, he might actually succeed in bringing the Twin-winged White Tiger under his control.
After all, He Song, being an outsider, naturally stood with him.
In a situation where he was not familiar with the other Golden Elixir Masters in the Zichuan Prefecture Government, it was impossible for He Song to become corrupt like them.
Of course.
He also knew that there was a considerable risk of failure in this matter.
Four, or even five, Golden Elixir Masters joining forces to capture the Twin-winged White Tiger was an ostensibly powerful lineup, but in reality, there was no coordination among them.
Even their objectives were not the same.
True Monarch Fei Hu was indeed relying on luck to truly capture the Twin-winged White Tiger and make it his spirit beast.
What if he succeeded?
Just like his own Foundation Establishment Spiritual Tiger. freёnovelkiss.com
Perhaps in the future, by depending on the power of the Twin-winged White Tiger, he could even aspire to a higher realm.
Such daydreams flashed through his mind, and True Monarch Fei Hu felt a surge of excitement.
His thoughts raced, seemingly abundant.
But in fact, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
How fast can the thoughts of a Golden Elixir Master be?
Right after He Song had just finished speaking, True Monarch Fei Hu paused for a moment, then immediately showed a smile on his face.
“Hahaha, Fellow Daoist, there is no need for such caution,”
“In this Zichuan Prefecture Government, I do have some influence,”
“That’s why I was chosen by several Masters to earnestly invite Fellow Daoist here for a talk,”
“But in fact, I don’t have much desire for this matter, it’s just that I could not resist the persistence of the Masters, and that is why I resorted to this subterfuge,”
“I hope Fellow Daoist won’t take this probing to heart,”
“I felt an immediate affinity with Fellow Daoist, and I don’t want to cause any misgivings between us because of this matter,”
“Come, come, I will punish myself with three cups, and I hope Fellow Daoist won’t blame me,”
“I did not intend to deliberately pry into Fellow Daoist’s origin, sadly, the other Masters in the prefecture were urging me so much that I had no choice but to comply,”
After pouring himself three cups of spirit tea and drinking them, True Monarch Fei Hu showed a touch of resignation and explained to He Song.
Having said that, True Monarch Fei Hu’s face carried a trace of embarrassment, seemingly feeling that he had indeed treated He Song somewhat unfairly.
With such a speech and the display of facial expressions, True Monarch Fei Hu cleanly extricated himself from the matter.
With those words,
He not only managed to subtly arouse suspicion in He Song towards the other Golden Elixir Masters in the state mansion,
But he also perfectly distanced himself, gaining He Song’s favor.
The art of speech was fully mastered by True Monarch Fei Hu.
However, He Song showed no change in his expression.
Instead, he just quietly smiled and nodded, observing the entire performance of True Monarch Fei Hu.
Although He Song did not know.
Whether True Monarch Fei Hu, besides probing his intentions, had other motives as well.
But from the moment he entered the Zhao family residence and faced such fervent hospitality,
He Song, sensing that something was amiss, had already decided in his heart.
No matter what True Monarch Fei Hu said afterward,
Whether what he proposed was an easy task for himself,
As long as it was something that came from True Monarch Fei Hu, he would definitely not get involved.
Now that True Monarch Fei Hu was eager to remove himself from the matter, to avoid He Song harboring any ill feelings, He Song’s suspicion that True Monarch Fei Hu must be plotting something against him deepened.
If it wasn’t for needing something from him,
Why would True Monarch Fei Hu make such an effort to quickly extricate himself from the matter after probing him personally?
Moreover, while distancing himself from the matter, True Monarch Fei Hu did not forget to step on the other Golden Elixir Masters in Purple River State.
This kind of action made He Song almost instantly realize.
There must be something fishy going on.
But since he did not have much information at hand, He Song had no idea what kind of scheme True Monarch Fei Hu was concocting.
However, after thinking it over, He Song did not expose him.
After all, He Song had already planned that no matter what True Monarch Fei Hu said next, he would not get involved,
So there was no need to clarify this matter.
With that thought, He Song waved his hand dismissively, a hint of resignation flashing across his face.
“What’s all this, Fellow Daoist?”
“The matter arose because of me. It’s my responsibility to explain things to Fellow Daoist and the various Masters here at the Purple River State mansion,”
