It wasn't that Xie Haiyang didn't know that his sincerity wasn't enough, but he felt that two ordinary stars were enough. He didn't want the person he was investing in to develop a greedy personality, nor did he want the person to think that his resources were so easy to take.
It wasn't that he didn't like Wang Baole, but that was his nature as a businessman. He always felt that the amount of resources given was equal to the amount of work done.
At the same time … this was what his status as an investor required. In Xie Haiyang's opinion, as someone who controlled a large amount of resources and invested in cultivators, he was in a superior position. To a certain extent, both sides were cooperating, and at the same time, he had to take the initiative.
This was the only way to prevent the situation from developing into an uncontrollable state. In addition, he could protect his status to the greatest extent, and make the other party slowly develop a habit of relying on him, so that they would never be able to leave his resources.
This was the only way to make a perfect investment!
Therefore, Fan Xing's gifts and promises were actually part of his business model. He had even thought about it. In the future, based on Wang Baole's value in this matter, he would continue to give Fan Xing, like bait, so that the other party would walk in the direction he wanted.
Until he achieved his goal.
With such thoughts in mind, Xie Haiyang smiled faintly when he heard Wang Baole's question.
"Brother Baole, after I meet Inferno Laozu, I will tell you. When the time comes, I hope Brother Baole can help me." Xie Haiyang's attitude was aloof, but his actions were very humble. As he spoke, he even cupped his hands and bowed to Wang Baole.
An undetectable glimmer flashed across Wang Baole's eyes. With his intelligence and experience, he could naturally tell what Xie Haiyang was thinking. However, he didn't mind. To him, no matter what Xie Haiyang thought, to him, this was just a transaction.
"Two ordinary stars in exchange for a referral is fine. As for flattery … basically, all the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters are Masters, so it doesn't matter." Wang Baole cleared his throat. Having made his decision, he began to discuss other matters with Xie Haiyang. Eventually, the two of them transformed into prismatic beams of light that shot into the main planet of Inferno. They shot through the air in the direction of Inferno Laozu, Wang Baole, and the other disciples' pagodas.
Seeing that they were about to arrive, Xie Haiyang felt a little nervous. He couldn't help but worry about the gains and losses of this trip. Even though he felt that there shouldn't be any problems with the plan, he couldn't help but ask Wang Baole in a low voice.
"Brother Baole, do you know which one of your senior brothers and sisters is close to Chen Qing?"
"Chen Qing?" Wang Baole was taken aback. He stared at Xie Haiyang in surprise.
"He's the number one God King of the Never-Ending Clan, the one who can fight God Emperors. He's like a demon god, the one who used to be a disciple of the Underworld Sect … Chen Qing!" Xie Haiyang explained in a low voice, then sighed.
"You probably don't know who he is."
Wang Baole's expression was strange. If he didn't know, then no one else would. However, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he looked curious.
"Are you looking for Chen Qing, or my senior brothers and sisters?"
"Just tell me if you know which one of them is close to him." Thinking of his father, Xie Haiyang felt a little irritated. He couldn't help but reply.
Wang Baole raised his eyebrows when he heard that, but he still replied to the other party patiently.
"To tell you the truth, I haven't been in the Inferno Star System for long. I haven't heard of any of my senior brothers and sisters who are close to Chen Qing, but …" Before Wang Baole could finish, Xie Haiyang sighed and shook his head.
"Forget it. I'll take care of this myself." Xie Haiyang hadn't placed his hopes on Wang Baole. He had only asked because he was worried. In his irritation, the tower was right in front of him. When he heard Wang Baole's words, he wasn't in the mood to listen. He cupped his fists at Wang Baole and was about to leave.
Wang Baole hesitated. Watching Xie Haiyang fly toward the tower of Inferno Laozu, he couldn't help but ask.
"Xie Haiyang, why are you looking for Chen Qing?"
If it had been any other time, with Xie Haiyang's shrewdness, he might have been able to discern the hidden meaning behind Wang Baole's words. However, at that moment, he was anxious and neglected to notice it. That was especially so when Wang Baole kept asking about his personal matters.
"Baole, it's useless to tell you this. You can't help. Once I meet with Inferno Laozu and get an answer, I'll ask for your help." As he spoke, Xie Haiyang did not even turn his head as he rapidly approached the tower of the Flame Patriarch. After stopping outside, he clasped his fists and bowed deeply towards the tower. His expression was unprecedentedly respectful as he spoke loudly.
"Junior Xie Haiyang requests an audience with Inferno Laozu!"
"Come in!" Naturally, Xie Haiyang's arrival couldn't escape Inferno Laozu's Divine Sense. In fact, Inferno Laozu had been aware of his arrival the moment he set foot in the Inferno Star System. Xie Haiyang took a deep breath and stepped inside with a solemn expression.
Looking at Xie Haiyang enter his master's pagoda, Wang Baole was a little unhappy. He thought to himself that Xie Haiyang obviously didn't think that he would be of much use in this matter. That made Wang Baole very uncomfortable. He thought to himself that he had intended to lend a hand, but now, there was no need for that. He turned around and flew straight to his pagoda.
After returning to the tower, Wang Baole sat down cross-legged and narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help but recall Xie Haiyang's words and actions along the way. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"Xie Haiyang's actions clearly indicate that he needs help from Senior Brother Chen Qing …. With the Xie Family's influence, they don't lack experts, so there shouldn't be anything that can't be solved. Unless … this matter has something to do with Senior Brother Chen Qing. Since Xie Haiyang is so anxious, it's obvious that this matter has something to do with him, far more than his family!
As for Xie Haiyang, he must have come here because he couldn't contact Chen Qing. That's why he asked me which senior brother or senior sister is on good terms with Chen Qing … Master must have said something to him in the past that led to this misunderstanding … Wang Baole's mind was sharp. He quickly figured out what was going on based on Xie Haiyang's behavior.
Then, a strange expression appeared on his face. He raised his head and glanced at Master's tower.
"This is a trap that Master has set for Xie Haiyang. He must have vaguely told Xie Haiyang that he has a disciple who is close to Chen Qing …" At this thought, Wang Baole couldn't help but cough. His mind became active, and his eyes slowly lit up.
"If my guess is correct, Xie Haiyang will come looking for me very soon … Brother Haiyang, I feel very sorry for you." Wang Baole blinked. He couldn't help but feel anticipation rise in his heart.
"Also, through Xie Haiyang, I can find out where Senior Brother went … That guy left me in the Divine Eye civilization and disappeared …" Wang Baole rubbed his forehead. He knew that he would have an answer soon. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and meditated as he waited for Xie Haiyang's arrival.
His guess was right. At this moment, Xie Haiyang was kneeling in Blazing Laozu's tower with a pious look on his face. There were three golden storage bags in front of him.
As for Blazing Laozu, he sat there with a meaningful look on his face. Beside him was Wang Baole's senior sister. She stood there with a serious expression on her face, looking Xie Haiyang up and down. Blazing Laozu spoke calmly.
"You want to be my disciple? That's impossible. I'm no longer taking in disciples. If you really want to, then be my senior disciple's disciple's disciple. "
Xie Haiyang hesitated for a moment when he heard this. However, he quickly gritted his teeth and knelt down before Blazing Laozu's senior disciple.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple. I will remember your kindness!"
"This …" Grand Senior Sister looked hesitant as she looked at Blazing Laozu. Blazing Laozu stroked his beard, looking like he was telling Xie Haiyang to think it over.
When Xie Haiyang saw this, he became anxious. He knelt down again and took out a few more storage bags. He placed them in front of him and begged again.
In the end, Grand Senior Sister nodded reluctantly and accepted Xie Haiyang as her disciple. Xie Haiyang was overjoyed when he saw that his plan had succeeded. He didn't care about seniority and hurriedly asked in front of Blazing Laozu.
"Master, Grandmaster, can you tell me which uncle-master in the Blazing Flames lineage is close to Chen Qing?"
Blazing Laozu narrowed his eyes when he heard Xie Haiyang's words. He didn't speak. Grand Senior Sister's expression changed from serious to strange. She coughed and slowly spoke.
"Speaking of those uncle-masters of yours who are close to Chen Qing, as close as brothers. Actually … you know them as well."
Before Grand Senior Sister Wang Baole could finish speaking, Xie Haiyang's heart skipped a beat. He could tell that something was wrong ….
