"Get straight to the point," Wutian said casually.
Gongsun Haoshu picked up his teacup and took a sip. His words confused Wutian, "In my opinion, brewing and tasting tea is the fastest way to understand a person."
Wutian didn't reply. He just sipped his tea quietly.
Gongsun Haoshu shook his head and said, "I'll tell you the truth. I brought you here mainly because I want to talk about cooperation with you. "
"Pfft!"
Wutian spat out the tea that he had just poured into his mouth.
Furthermore, the tea was all over Gongsun Haoshu.
Looking at Gongsun Haoshu's dark face and clenched fists, Wutian only smiled apologetically and didn't say anything else. He didn't even say a word of apology.
To be honest, Wutian was really shocked. Before he came, he had thought of many reasons, but this was the only one that didn't cross his mind. To be exact, he didn't even think about it.
After all, half of the core forces of the Wushan tribe were killed in the battle in the Wushan Realm. Even Gongsun Haoshu's father, second uncle, and third uncle died one after another. It was an irreconcilable blood feud for anyone.
Who would have thought that Gongsun Haoshu would talk to him about cooperation? Was he out of his mind?
Gongsun Haoshu suppressed his anger and took out a white handkerchief to wipe off the tea stains on his body. Then, he glanced at the spoiled tea and lost all his mood.
He glared at Wutian and threw the handkerchief on the table angrily. Gongsun Haoshu said directly, "The blood feud between you and me can't be resolved so easily. However, compared to hatred, it's more important to devour the bloodline power of other nature-defying constitutions to strengthen myself."
"I don't understand why you want to cooperate with me and not them," Wutian said. The so-called "them" naturally referred to Ou Xiaomu and the other major constitutions that had yet to appear.
Gongsun Haoshu said without hesitation, "It's simple. Trust!"
Wutian shook his head and said, "There doesn't seem to be any trust between us!"
Gongsun Haoshu said slowly, "Of course. You and I are destined to be enemies. It's ridiculous to talk about trust. But the trust I'm talking about is commitment and integrity. I've heard about your character in the Forbidden Sect, and when I brewed the tea, I was testing you. Combining various factors, I feel that you are someone who keeps your promises and keeps your promises. On the battlefield, you are a trustworthy comrade. "
"When I was brewing the tea, I didn't seem to have said anything. Why don't you tell me what you saw?" Wutian asked with interest.
"Don't worry about that. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Wutian smiled faintly and said, "Then you have to make it clear. What practical benefits do you have for me if we cooperate?"
"Of course there are many benefits. We will split the bloodline power of the battle constitutions we kill equally. Moreover, all the Desolate Era divine items on them will belong to you," Gongsun Haoshu said.
This condition was really tempting. They were both contributing, but Wutian's gains were several times more than Gongsun Haoshu's. This was because the value of the Desolate Era divine items was several times more valuable than the bloodline power of the battle constitutions.
However, he didn't believe that Gongsun Haoshu would be so kind as to give him the benefits for free.
Sure enough, Gongsun Haoshu continued, "There are naturally additional conditions for taking all the benefits. Before we become hostile, first, you can't attack Gou Yaolong and Murong Feichang. Second, you can't kill my people. Third, the Myriad Treasure Pavilion must withdraw from the Zhongyao Continent."
Then, he confessed that he was afraid of Wutian's identity as a Saint Level Forbidden Master, so he gave away so many benefits.
"That's all?" Wutian was surprised.
"Yes." Gongsun Haoshu nodded.
Wutian shook his head noncommittally and sneered, "A straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. You're not honest enough, so there's no need for us to cooperate. However, your idea reminds me. Maybe I can find Ou Xiaomu and talk to other people with heaven-defying battle constitutions. I think they'll be very interested in this idea."
Gongsun Haoshu's eyes darkened. He said, "Wutian, I'm here to discuss cooperation with you with full sincerity."
Wutian said disdainfully, "Sincerity? I don't see it. If you tell me your real purpose now, maybe I'll consider cooperating with you. "
In fact, Wutian was just testing Gongsun Haoshu.
After all, Gongsun Haoshu's scheming and intelligence were much better than ordinary people. Cooperating with him was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. If he wasn't careful, he might fall into a bottomless abyss and end up being crushed.
"My purpose is very simple. I want to seize their bloodline power and increase my own strength. Then, I'll kill you and avenge my father and the others," Gongsun Haoshu said. His eyes were very firm, and there was no trace of him lying.
"Does he really have no other purpose?" Wutian muttered in his heart. He didn't do things that he wasn't confident in. If he didn't figure it out, it would be hard for him to make a decision.
For a moment, Wutian fell silent. He was struggling in his heart.
Gongsun Haoshu didn't interrupt. He started to tidy up the teapot and brew a new pot of tea.
When the tea boiled and the tea fragrance wafted out, Wutian finally had a plan. He smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you. However, I'll tell you something first. Unfortunately, your big brother Gongsun Long was killed by me."
When he said this, Gongsun Haoshu happened to be washing the teacups.
When he heard this, his hands froze unnoticeably. Then, he took out the teacups, poured the tea, and tasted it. From the beginning to the end, there was no superfluous emotion on his face.
"What a terrifying scheming person." Wutian silently cursed.
He deliberately revealed the news of Gongsun Long's death. He just wanted to see how Gongsun Haoshu would react. However, he didn't expect that Gongsun Haoshu only froze for a moment.
"If you want to stand at the top of the Samsara Continent, you're destined to be alone all your life. It's lonely at the top." Gongsun Haoshu didn't speak until he finished the tea and put down the teacup. There was no trace of emotion in his words.
Looking at Gongsun Haoshu's calm expression, for some reason, Wutian gradually began to feel a sense of dread towards this person.
No matter what happened, he could be so relaxed, as if he didn't care about anything. He gave people the impression that he was extremely indifferent and ruthless.
Wutian didn't even know how to refute.
"Maybe you're right." Wutian smiled faintly.
In fact, Wutian didn't know that Gongsun Haoshu was more afraid of him.
In his eyes, dealing with Wutian was more difficult than dealing with those old monsters who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, it seemed that he couldn't escape Gongsun Haoshu's keen insight.
Gongsun Haoshu was so meticulous and unfathomable that he even doubted whether it was right or wrong to cooperate with Wutian.
"In this cooperation, I'll be responsible for gathering information. Once there's a chance, I'll inform you immediately. However, when the time comes, you'll have to do your best. After all, you now have three Primordial Divine Objects." Gongsun Haoshu said.
"Of course. Since the cooperation has been settled, shouldn't you release the Pavilion Master and the others first?" Wutian smiled faintly.
Gongsun Haoshu's hand that was holding the teacup paused when he heard that. He glanced at the young man opposite him and drank it in one gulp. Then, he said expressionlessly, "Grand Elder, bring the Pavilion Master and his daughter in."
"You've already noticed that Cang Zheng is a girl?" Wutian was slightly stunned.
Gongsun Haoshu couldn't help but laugh, but there was a hint of mockery in his tone. He shook his head and said, "I chatted with Cang Zheng for a while when I was free, and I know a little about you. To be honest, after hearing that, I really wanted to laugh. Among the nine of us, I'm afraid that you're the only one who's been fooled by her for so long!"
"Tap, tap …"
At that moment, messy footsteps were heard from afar. Soon, three people came in from outside the door of the hall.
The person in the front was a burly man in purple. He was eight feet tall, and his aura was as deep as the sea. He was probably the Grand Elder that Gongsun Haoshu mentioned.
The Grand Elder bowed to Gongsun Haoshu and said, "Greetings, Divine Child."
Gongsun Haoshu nodded slightly.
Then, the Grand Elder looked at Wutian. His face darkened slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly concealed it and cupped his hands. "Greetings, Asura King."
"Mmm." Wutian responded indifferently. Then, he strode to Cang Zheng and her daughter and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
It would have been better if he didn't ask. Cang Zheng, who had been silent, suddenly squatted on the ground like a river bursting through a dam. She burrowed into Wutian's arms and burst into tears, venting the grievances and humiliation she had suffered in the past few days.
Her tears quickly soaked a large part of his clothes.
The sudden action made Wutian embarrassed for a moment. He wanted to push Cang Zheng away, but she hugged him tightly with both hands and wouldn't let go.
Wutian raised his hands in the air. He didn't know where to put them. He glanced at the Pavilion Master from time to time to see what kind of reaction this' old man 'would have. In the end, all he saw on this' old man ''s face was a strange smile.
Gongsun Haoshu and the Grand Elder looked at each other with a strange expression.
It wasn't that Wutian and Cang Zheng weren't worthy.
It was that the current Wutian had the height and appearance of an eleven or twelve year old. What about Cang Zheng? She was also dressed as a man. Moreover, she was dressed very well. She didn't look like a woman at all.
The two of them hugging each other looked very awkward.
Especially when they saw the 'male' Cang Zheng snuggling in the arms of a child who was shorter than her like a wronged little wife, Gongsun Haoshu and Gongsun Haoshu couldn't help but have goosebumps.
"Ahem!" Gongsun Haoshu coughed and said expressionlessly, "Wutian, I've returned the two of them to you. Shouldn't you leave now?"
Hearing this, Wutian finally got the chance. He gently pushed Cang Zheng out of his arms and smiled at her. Then, he turned around and cupped his hands. "I'll wait for your good news."
As for the strange expression on the Grand Elder's face, Wutian ignored it.
Gongsun Haoshu said, "Don't worry. It won't take more than three months."
"Three months? Isn't that the time when the Divine Son and Divine Daughter of the Yin Yang Sect will appear? "Wutian muttered in his heart. His eyes flickered.
"Goodbye!"
With a wave of his hand, Wutian opened a realm gate. Then, he cupped his hands at Gongsun Haoshu and walked in with the Pavilion Master and Cang Zheng. They gradually disappeared from the hall.
