Yue Qianchou was not in a hurry to reply to him. He smiled and asked him to sit down first. He also sat beside him with a smile and did not speak. There was a tea table between the two of them. There was no tea on the tea table, but Yue Qianchou took out a pot of good wine as tea. He poured a cup for Ferdinand and said, "This wine is not ordinary. It is the Hundred Fruit Wine given by a Monster King in the Monster Domain. There are not many people in the Cultivation World who can drink it. Try this wine and see how it tastes."
Although Ferdinand did not know his real identity in the Monster Domain, he knew that he had a relationship with the Ghost General in the Monster Domain. So, what he said must be true. He did not stand on ceremony with him. He picked up the wine cup and drank it. The cool and cool wine that moistened his mouth slid into his stomach. Immediately, a warm feeling surged and spread to his limbs and bones. His whole body was refreshed, and the fragrance lingered in his mouth. Ferdinand smacked his lips and nodded. "It is indeed a good wine."
Yue Qianchou smiled and filled his cup again. Ferdinand stared at his action with a gratified look on his face. He asked, "What I said just now, have you considered it?"
"It's rare to see you. Why do you talk to me about business as soon as we meet?" Yue Qianchou joked. "I thought you would ask about Furong first!"
"We will talk about Furong later." Ferdinand sighed and said, "The Supporting Immortal Island is still waiting for my reply. If I don't clear up your matter first, my heart will also be in a mess. The entire higher-ups of the Supporting Immortal Island have high hopes for me!"
"I see that you seem to be very anxious. Is this matter important to you?" Yue Qianchou asked.
"How can it not be important? Since I stepped into the Cultivation World, I have always been in the Supporting Immortals Island. The Supporting Immortals Island is my sect, and it can be said that it is the place where I have taken root in my life. Now that the sect is facing a crisis, how can I turn a blind eye? " After Ferdinand finished speaking, he urged, "The conditions given to you are already very good, and this is because you used to be a disciple of the Supporting Immortals Island. If it were someone else, they would not give such conditions. What do you think? "
Yue Qianchou sat upright and said, "I originally wanted to get personal with you, but you insisted on talking about official business. Since you insist on doing this, then we'll toss our personal relationship to the side and deal with official business!"
Ferdinand stared blankly for a moment. Then, his complexion gradually turned somewhat dark as he said in a deep voice, "Don't play this game with me. Put away your evil thoughts. If I really wanted to talk business with you, Supporting Immortal Island wouldn't have asked me to talk to you. "
Yue Qianchou chuckled and slumped down again. He leaned back on the chair and smiled lazily. "Alright, I don't dare to make you unhappy. Let's have a discussion that's both public and private. What do you think?"
"At least you know what's good for you." Ferdinand snorted coldly.
"Since it's not all business, I'll have to rely on our personal relationship to get some insider information first." Yue Qianchou asked sneakily, "As far as I know, the Supporting Immortals Island is also divided into factions fighting for power. It's not as calm as it looks on the surface. The chief elder is such an important position, and it's related to the candidate for the next sect leader. It's the biggest piece of fat meat. How can they be willing to give it to an outsider like me? "
Ferdinand paused and explained, "Isn't it a critical juncture now? We're not three-year-old children. We're all people who know the big picture. Naturally, we have to get through the difficulties together … "
Yue Qianchou made a long "oh" noncommittally with a sneer on his face … The more people there were in a sect, especially the sects that were divided into factions, the more people would fight for a higher position. Things like knowing the big picture and getting through the difficulties together were nonsense. Some people who were blinded by greed would often not think about knowing the big picture unless they were at the point of death.
As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. Yue Qianchou did not believe that the opinions of so many people in the Supporting Immortals Island could be so unified. He said expressionlessly, "No wonder the Supporting Immortals Island can become the number one sect in the world …" He was too lazy to finish his words. If Ferdinand was not stupid, he would naturally understand.
Sure enough, Ferdinand smiled bitterly. He knew that this guy had a problem with his dishonesty. He sighed and said, "Hibiscus showed up in the Cornucopia and was recognized by the people sent by the Supporting Immortals Island. When the news came back … It's not a big deal to let Hibiscus leave the Supporting Immortals Island without permission with my identity as the principal elder of the Wanfen Garden. But when I left the Chinese cultivation world, many people found an excuse, including the sect leader Feng Xiangtian. They all blamed me. When they were discussing how to punish me, it was Aunt Jiu who stood up and helped me out. "
"Ma Jiu?" Yue Qianchou raised his brows and said in a low voice, "Could it be that me returning to the Supporting Immortals Island to be the chief elder is related to Aunt Jiu?"
Ferdinand showed a look of approval. He thought that this guy's keen perception of people and matters was really not something an ordinary person could compare to. He nodded and said, "Apart from Aunt Jiu, who else would dare to say that to you to be the chief elder of the Supporting Immortals Island? Naturally, many people objected, but you also know the power of the Guan Clan in the Supporting Immortals Island. Once Aunt Jiu spoke, the Guan Clan's power naturally gave their full support. After that, Aunt Jiu personally mentioned me and asked me to pull you back to the Supporting Immortals Island. That's roughly what happened … "
Yue Qianchou sneered. Sure enough, people become shrewd with age. This Ma Jiu really had a good plan. Back when he was on the Supporting Immortals Island, she tried to pull him back, but he refused, saying that he already had a master, and that he was an expert in the Demon Domain. Now, it seemed that the Chinese Cultivation World had also begun to spy on various countries. She probably guessed that his master was the world's number one expert in the Demon Domain, so she didn't hesitate to pull him back.
He had already refused Ma Jiu once, so she knew that ordinary people couldn't persuade him. Coincidentally, Furong's matter was exposed. When everyone wanted to punish Ferdinand, Ma Jiu came forward to protect Ferdinand, using the carrot and stick method to force Ferdinand to find him. Probably, even Ferdinand himself didn't know the reason, so he must be thinking about how to repay Ma Jiu …
Yue Qianchou's expression gradually turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't dare to be the chief elder of the Supporting Immortals Island. You can go back and tell Ma Jiu that I thank her for her kindness. There's one more thing, I'll have to trouble you to pass on to Ma Jiu … "
Seeing that he flatly refused to go back to the Supporting Immortals Island, Ferdinand's expression turned somewhat unsightly. He pulled a long face and said, "Is there anything you want me to tell her?"
"I have a friend in the secular world," Yue Qianchou said indifferently. "He's the Pillar General of the Hua Xia Empire, named Shi Wenguang. Due to the persecution of the Li Dynasty, he had no choice but to gather an army. Recently, he decided to command the army and overthrow the tyranny of the Li Dynasty. I'm in favor of this matter. I hope Elder Fei can tell this to Ma Jiu after you go back. I believe she will understand what I mean and make appropriate arrangements … "
