"Well, I won't take advantage of you. Since you offered 50 million high-grade immortal crystals for this black bead during the auction, let's do this: Look, there are eight beads in total. We've found two, and you have one. So we have one more than you, and you give me 50 million high-grade immortal crystals.

If you find more beads than us that day, I will give you 50 million high-grade immortal crystals.

Fifty million high-grade immortal crystals for one bead, what do you say?"

Zong Zhengsong smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. How about this? Since we're meeting for the first time, I'll give you an extra 10 million high-grade immortal crystals to show my sincerity to you two."

Lai Siyu said, "That would be great, but I don't have anything to give you as a gift. You are the Heavenly Emperor, and we are just poor independent cultivators."

Zong Zhengsong said, "Our meeting is fate, so there's no need to be so polite. Now that we have a common goal, I wonder if you two would be willing to live in this Heavenly Palace. This would make communication easier."

"Do you want to put us under house arrest?" Lai Siyu's face turned serious and he asked defensively.

"I don't mean to put you under house arrest. I am on par with you, so it would be extremely difficult to put you under house arrest.

The crystal balls haven't been found yet. Even if they were, it would be too risky to activate the formation. Without the cooperation of fellow seekers, I'm afraid I can't do it alone.

Therefore, I, Zong Zhengsong, am not a fool. How could I do something that would hurt the harmony?

Don't worry, even if you live in the Heavenly Palace, you can come and go freely."

Hearing him say that, Lai Siyu's expression brightened a little: "So, to show your sincerity, you're letting us wander around your backyard as we please?"

Zong Zhengsong gave Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao a jade token each, and then said, "Of course!"

It’s just a heavenly palace. Others may care about it, but Zong Zhengsong doesn’t.

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Overall, it was a pleasant banquet. Everyone got what they wanted. Zong Zhengsong found a partner and saw hope of leaving the Immortal Realm. Lai Siyu and Mu Lingxiao finally settled down in the palace as they had hoped.

…

By the cold pond, the mother and son, who had already explored the bottom of the pond, turned their backs to the pond and talked in low voices.

There was no one around them, they must have been deliberately dismissed.

"Mom, do you know that man?"

Although Yue Ling concealed it very well, Zong Zhengchi was her son after all, so how could he not notice that something was wrong with her?

"Well, he... seems like an old friend of mine." Without outsiders around, the mother and son would talk much more casually.

"He is..."

"Just an old friend. He died before you were born." Yue Ling's tone was desolate and sad. In front of her son, her already restless heart could no longer be suppressed.

However, some debts can be borne by her alone, and there is no need to involve her son.

How could her Chi'er bear such deep hatred? The enemy was clearly right in front of him, but he had to recognize the thief as his father and had to prolong his life...

Chi'er has already shouldered too much, and she can't let him fall into more intense hatred.

"Mom, you... love him?"

A tear streaked across Yue Ling's eyes, and her beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears, "Chi'er...he is just like an old friend of mine, and he just happened to bring back some memories for me.

Love... this word is too luxurious for me."

"Mom, it's all my son who has implicated you!"

Zong Zhengchi lowered his eyes. The man had a good cultivation level, but he didn't know who was better between him and Zong Zhengsong.

If these two were to fight, even if Zong Zhengsong won in the end, he would probably be seriously injured.

A bold idea formed in Zong Zhengchi's mind. It seemed that Zong Zhengsong and the other party should know each other.

"Mom, did you know he had such a friend before?"

Yue Ling wiped away her tears and pulled her mind out of her memories. "Hmph, friends? If my guess is correct, then that man and woman should be the variables in the rumors!"

Zong Zhengsong was shocked, "What? You said they are variables?!"

"Yes, they are variables. Not to mention that male cultivator is at the level of Immortal Emperor, even one of their demon slaves has the level of Immortal Emperor.

Besides, have you ever seen a demon slave like that in the Heavenly Realm?"

Zong Zhengsong shook his head and said, "No!"

"Of course not, because they are not transformed monsters, but transformed ferocious beasts! Ferocious beasts from the wilderness!

They carry the indelible aura of ferocious beasts and the aura of the wilderness!

The beast with the cultivation level of Immortal Emperor turned out to be their contracted beast. Chi'er, if such a person is not a variable, then who do you think is the variable? "

"But if they are variables, why did he invite them all into the palace?"

Yue Ling sneered, "Zong Zhengsong must be hiding some secret from us. Judging from his behavior over the years, it seems he doesn't take the Heaven Realm seriously at all.

Moreover, he always flies out of the sky realm at any time, and I don’t know where he goes.

After the change in the language of the Tianji Pavilion appeared, Zong Zhengsong's behavior became even more unpredictable."

"Mom, can we contact those two people?"

Yue Ling shook her head: "Our cultivation level is far inferior to Zong Zhengsong's, and we can't easily touch his bottom line.

Chi'er, since Zong Zhengsong has handed over the Heavenly Realm to you, you should make it your own!

As long as the Heaven Realm is yours, the cultivation resources will be concentrated in your hands. Once your cultivation level improves, we will have a future, do you understand?
