Compensation!
In truth, Ye Zichen had his own reasons for saying this. He'd only just entered the God Realm. If he just focused on figuring out how to get to the Yao Realm, the Divine Mountains, and the River Styx, that sort of life would be far too boring.
Although Wu Di's family wasn't particularly powerful, they still had some status in the seventy-two districts.
If he borrowed Wu Di's power, he could gain control of the Wu Family's resources, gain their trust, or do something else. Perhaps that would be far more effective than doing things on his own.
Besides, he really did want to pretend to be this youth with a story in his heart. This was the first step in his preparations.
"Master."
When he heard this news, Li Wanlong's eyelids twitched.
In truth, his older sister, Li Ke, had played a part in sending the clan to Black Ox Town. His primary mission was to help the Li Family accumulate wealth and expand their influence. His second mission was to eradicate that bastard, Wu Di, the maidservant's son.
Although Wu Di wasn't that much of a threat to his sister's status as her son, he was still a hidden danger.
There was no way the Li Family would dare attack Wu Di from the shadows. No matter what, Wu Di was the current family head's son. If the Wu Family was determined to investigate, they'd definitely find out that they'd done something.
If that happened, the Li Family might have to bear the Wu Family's wrath.
As a result, to be on the safe side, they'd constantly squeezed Wu Di's cultivation resources and suppressed his strength. Li Kai's mockery was also to Li Wanlong's benefit; he wanted to make a mistake.
So long as Wu Di dared attack Li Kai, the Li Family would naturally have a reason to erase his name from the Wu Family's records.
But they never would've guessed that Wu Di would be so patient. More importantly, he now had a master who was at least a peak human immortal.
Li Wanlong's thoughts raced, but he plastered a friendly smile on his face.
"I never would've guessed you were my dear nephew Wu Di's master. My dear nephew has never performed particularly well in the family, yet you've taken a liking to him. Perhaps he really does have some sort of talent that our Wu Family hasn't discovered yet. My dear nephew is truly fortunate to have an expert like you by his side. "
His words were full of schemes. Not only did he emphasize Ye Zichen's profound cultivation and discerning eyes, he also subtly mentioned the Wu Family's tiger banner.
How could Ye Zichen not understand the meaning behind this? However, he snorted ungratefully, "Don't worry.
"You don't have to say anything nice. I've heard too much of it, and I don't feel anything anymore. Since I have appeared here, it is for the matter of my disciple being bullied and humiliated. Wu Di is my precious disciple. I originally planned on taking him to a high-class district, but he didn't want to leave because of old friendships, so I could only stay here with him for a few days. Who would have thought that I would see such a scene? Brother Myriad Dragon, how do you think we should resolve this? "
Li Wanlong couldn't help but frown at Wu Di's domineering attitude. Even after hearing him mention the Wu Family, Li Wanlong didn't give him any face. He inwardly cursed Wu Di for being a fool, but his expression remained as friendly and friendly as ever. However, this smile was directed at Wu Di.
"Lil 'Di, I'm here to apologize on your cousin's behalf. Ever since I was sent to Black Ox Town, I've been busy with the family's development. I haven't paid much attention to the relationship between you and your brother. This is an oversight on my part. How about this? When I get back, I'll definitely discipline that brat Li Kai even more strictly. The clan's grand competition is just around the corner, so I'll give you some cultivation resources. It'll help your cultivation take another step forward. That way, you'll be able to perform well. What do you think? "
In truth, Wu Di hadn't expected Ye Zichen to accept him as his disciple.
If he could really become this senior's disciple, he would naturally be more than willing. However, he felt that his talent was mediocre, and he was afraid that if he rashly accepted Ye Zichen as his master, he'd offend this senior.
Now, however, Ye Zichen was calling him his disciple. He was obviously backing him up.
As for Li Wanlong's sugar-coated bullets, Wu Di was completely immune to them. Although he didn't know too much inside information, he was well aware that the Li Family had always wanted to remove him from the Wu Family.
Now, Li Wanlong was calling himself his uncle and offering him cultivation resources. All of this was built on Ye Zichen's foundation.
Wu Di sneered. In his heart, he was utterly unwilling to forgive the Li Family, but he didn't want Ye Zichen to get dragged into this mess because of him. All he could do was suppress his disgust and bow to Li Wanlong.
"Then we'll do as you say, Uncle."
"That's more like it."
Li Wanlong smiled in satisfaction. This was exactly what he'd expected. The way he saw it, given Wu Di's situation, so long as he showed even the slightest bit of kindness, Wu Di would be overwhelmed by his favor.
It was just a loss of some resources. Besides, Li Wanlong hadn't mentioned how much he'd give Wu Di.
When the time came, he'd have the final say on how much he'd give.
"Wait a moment …." Ye Zichen suddenly spoke up.
"What is it?" In truth, Li Wanlong disliked interacting with people like Ye Zichen, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to treat him with courtesy.
"How many resources are you willing to give me?"
Ye Zichen was a master of word games. Li Wanlong was still too inexperienced to compete with him.
Li Wanlong's smug expression darkened. It seemed it was easy to trick Wu Di, but his master was a bit harder to deal with.
"Then, Your Excellency …."
"You're the one giving resources to your nephew. I'm not the one taking them by force. Why are you asking me for my opinion?"
"Wily old fox." Li Wanlong inwardly cursed Ye Zichen, then said, "Three hundred low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of third-grade immortal pills."
As he spoke, Li Wanlong studied Ye Zichen's expression. When he saw that it didn't change in the slightest, he continued.
"And a hundred stalks of hundred-year-old spiritual herbs."
"And twenty third-grade immortal talismans."
"And an earth-grade precious sword."
"Your Excellency, please don't go too far."
Li Wanlong gnashed his teeth as he spoke. Even he felt the pinch of handing over so many resources, but Ye Zichen's expression didn't seem particularly satisfied.
In truth, it wasn't that Ye Zichen wasn't satisfied; rather, he had no idea what these resources were worth.
Zheng Yunan, on the other hand, snuck up to Ye Zichen and whispered, "Senior, that's enough. These treasures are worth at least a million spirit coins. "
"A million? Is that a lot?"
Ye Zichen arched his brows. He didn't try to hide his words. When Li Wanlong heard this, he almost cursed. A million spirit coins wasn't a lot? Given his current status, a million spirit coins was equivalent to a year's worth of savings.
