As Master Tianji was walking, he suddenly heard Wang Hao's words and froze on the spot. He turned to look at Wang Hao, his eyes full of doubt.
"What did you say?"
Wang Hao remained calm and said indifferently, "Senior, you stayed by Xiao Wenyong's side and worked for him for your own purpose."
If I could offer you the same benefits, would you... be willing to work for me instead?
These words left even Master Tianji stunned.
Clearly, he never expected Wang Hao to ask such a question!
"Work for you? You think you're worthy?"
As he spoke, Master Tianji's voice was filled with sarcasm.
Clearly, in his eyes, Wang Hao and Xiao Wenyong were not even in the same league.
He may do things for Xiao Wenyong, but that doesn't mean he's willing to do things for Wang Hao!
But upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Wang Hao's lips.
He looked calmly at Master Tianji and said indifferently, "Does Senior think I am inferior to Xiao Wenyong?"
"Of course not!"
While they were talking, even Master Tianji wanted to laugh!
Who is Xiao Wenyong?
That's a prince!
That's someone who can compete with Xiao Rujun for the throne!
Once Xiao Wenyong takes power, he, Tianji Zhenren, will be second only to the emperor!
Under such circumstances, no one would find it inappropriate for him to work for Xiao Wenyong.
But Wang Hao?
What is he anyway?
An eighteen-year-old young man!
And she's the Martial Emperor!
His strength is also inferior to that of Master Tianji!
For someone like Wang Hao to not kill him outright to steal the treasure is already a sign of restraint and shows he thinks highly of Wang Hao.
Still working for Wang Hao?
How could this kid even bring himself to say that?
But Wang Hao remained calm.
He looked quietly at Master Tianji and said calmly, "Senior, what you're after when you work for Xiao Wenyong is nothing more than power, status, and opportunities to improve your strength..."
I'm very curious about this. Just how far can Xiao Wenyong go for you?
What steps must I take to make you... betray someone you haven't been very loyal to?
These words made even Master Tianji narrow his eyes.
If he hadn't known Wang Hao's identity and knew that Wang Hao couldn't possibly work for Xiao Wenyong, he would have even suspected that Wang Hao was sent by Xiao Wenyong to test him.
What this guy said is simply unbelievable!
However, Master Tianji didn't dwell on it too much.
Looking at Wang Hao, he quickly spoke again.
"You want me to do things for you? Sure!"
I need three things!
First, I want to become a top-ranking official in this country, holding a prestigious position, so that my descendants will never have to worry about food, clothing, or survival!
Wang Hao nodded slightly with a smile, "That makes perfect sense."
"What?"
Master Tianji frowned slightly.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Wang Hao to react this way.
Does this guy think he can do that?
However, Master Tianji didn't think too much about it and spoke again, "Second, I want real power! I want military power!"
Only when I hold military power can I feel that I won't be replaced at any time!
Only military power can give me a true sense of security!
This time, Wang Hao nodded slightly as before.
Clearly, Wang Hao also found this completely acceptable.
A sense of security is always one of the most important things for a person when doing things for others.
Looking at Wang Hao, Master Tianji's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
However, he didn't pause again, but continued, "Third, and last, and most importantly!"
I want to see... the hope of a martial saint!
"Wang Hao, putting aside the other two points, what makes you think you can do that third thing?"
As he spoke, Master Tianji's eyes were filled with coldness!
In his opinion, Wang Hao's statement was utter nonsense! It was simply impossible for him to do!
Martial Saint!
Wang Hao isn't even a Martial Grandmaster, so why should he guarantee me this?
But upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Wang Hao's lips.
"The hope of a Martial Saint... I can really give it to you!"
"What?"
Master Tianji's heart skipped a beat.
The hope of a martial saint!
This is something that countless martial masters would find difficult to see.
What gives Wang Hao the right to say that?
Seeing the astonished look on Tianji Zhenren's face, Wang Hao didn't waste any words, but simply said, "I am now the leader of the Martial Alliance. Are you aware of this?"
"Hmph! Just the victor in the Martial Emperor competition, not worth mentioning!"
Master Tianji's face was full of disdain.
In his eyes, Wang Hao was just a lucky guy who got something for nothing.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao smiled faintly.
"Is that so? Then do you know that in this process, I also defeated a Martial Grandmaster, and it was a fair and just public contest. The one I defeated was a true Martial Grandmaster like yourself, who achieved his status through his own strength, not through luck or opportunity?"
"What?"
Master Tianji was startled.
Wang Hao didn't elaborate further, but simply said, "I have met a Martial Saint and have been taught by one."
I have even seen the tomb of a martial arts master.
Have you seen this before, senior?
Senior, have you had these opportunities?
"If you, senior, were to obtain these opportunities, would you be capable of becoming a Martial Saint?"
Wang Hao's series of questions immediately silenced even the Heavenly Mystery Master.
He had to admit that Wang Hao's words had moved him.
Martial Saint!
