As Chen Tianwen accepted the communication token, he said reluctantly:
"Oh, Young Master Mu Bai, you're too kind! You're such a hospitable person. If I ever need anything in the future, I'll have to ask you for help."
Mu Bai smiled, but inwardly he was seething with hatred, though he couldn't lash out.
However, seeing that Chen Tianwen had put away the communication tokens, Mu Bai still hadn't forgotten his main purpose. He was supposed to exchange soul imprints with Xue Shu, so if he didn't get them and had to give up two communication tokens, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Xue Shu seemed to sense Mu Bai's meaning. Without waiting for Mu Bai to speak, she quickly took out her communication token and said to Chen Tianwen:
"Brother Chen, how about we exchange our soul imprints?"
Chen Tianwen slapped the back of his head and said:
"Forgot, forgot, let's change it now."
After Xue Shu and Chen Tianwen exchanged their soul imprints, Chen Tianwen didn't forget to add a sentence:
"Xue Shu, you've just arrived in the Xuanxian Realm, so you don't know how treacherous people are. You must never exchange soul imprints with others indiscriminately, and you must never talk to strangers indiscriminately."
Xue Shu nodded understandingly and answered:
"Brother Chen, rest assured, this communication token will only be sent to you and my master. I will not exchange soul imprints with anyone else, for any reason!"
Although Xue Shu didn't look at Mu Bai when she spoke, Mu Bai felt every word pierce his heart.
What does it mean to be wicked? What does it mean to not talk to strangers?
Isn't this talking about me?
But you, Chen Tianwen, are still a Pill Emperor. You tricked me out of my communication token, and you still have the nerve to say that I am wicked?
And Xue Shu, what are you talking about? What do you mean by saying that you would not exchange soul imprints with anyone, for any reason?
You might as well just say you don't want to exchange soul imprints with me, Mu Bai. That would be much more direct!
However, Mu Bai was still unwilling to give up, after all, he had already paid the price of 20,000 high-grade immortal crystals, which was equivalent to two million mid-grade immortal crystals!
Mu Bai hesitated before speaking to Xue Shu:
"Sister Xue Shu, do you think we should exchange soul imprints? That way, it will be easier for us to discuss immortal techniques in the future."
Xue Shu pouted. She had already made it so obvious, so why was Mu Bai still so oblivious?
However, if he were to be more direct, he might hurt Mu Bai's pride, which could potentially lead to a falling out with the Refining Heart Cave.
Xue Shu hesitated for a moment, her gaze involuntarily turning to Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tianwen nodded almost imperceptibly to Xue Shu, then spoke to Mu Bai:
“Young Master Mu Bai, since you enjoy exchanging immortal techniques so much, why don’t we exchange soul imprints? That way, if there’s anything I don’t understand, we can discuss it together. If Xue Shu has any problems that I can’t solve, I can also consult Young Master Mu Bai on her behalf.”
Mu Bai's face was ashen, and he kept telling himself to hold back and not get angry.
But Chen Tianwen's sly, wicked smile, in Mu Bai's eyes, became blatant mockery.
After a long while, Mu Bai finally composed himself and managed a faint smile, though it looked more like a grimace, as he spoke to Chen Tianwen:
"Being able to exchange soul imprints with Chen Danhuang is something Mu Bai would naturally be more than happy to do. As for the immortal techniques that Chen Danhuang mentioned, I think it's better to forget about it. After all, Chen Danhuang is exceptionally talented, and I don't think he needs to ask me for any advice."
Chen Tianwen deliberately changed his expression and angrily said to Mu Bai:
"Young Master Mu Bai, what do you mean by this? I kindly asked you to teach me immortal techniques, but you refused! Do you look down on me?"
Chen Tianwen deliberately spoke very loudly, so that everyone present could hear him clearly.
Although the three had been talking on the stage for a long time, they kept their voices low, so others couldn't openly investigate. But seeing the three chatting and laughing, they assumed they were having a pleasant conversation.
However, everyone was taken aback when they suddenly heard Chen Tianwen lose his temper.
It's unclear why the usually easygoing Mu Bai would suddenly offend Chen Tianwen, the Pill Emperor.
You must know the identity of the Pill Emperor; offending him carelessly would definitely be a losing proposition!
Even though Mu Bai is the Holy Son of the Refining Heart Cave, compared to Chen Tianwen's status, he is nothing.
The Cave Master of the Refining Heart Cave was especially shocked when he heard Chen Tianwen's outburst. He cursed Mu Bai inwardly for being so useless, failing to know his place in matters of principle. The Cave Master even considered whether he should consider replacing Mu Bai as the Holy Son if Mu Bai really offended Chen Tianwen.
Meanwhile, Mu Bai on the arena was left speechless, unable to express his bitterness.
He had paid the price of 20,000 high-grade immortal crystals to befriend Chen Tianwen, and he was just being modest when he said he didn't need to exchange immortal techniques. How could Chen Tianwen suddenly interpret it as him looking down on him and get so angry about it!
However, Chen Tianwen grew angrier the more he spoke. After putting away the communication token, he said to Xue Shu:
"Xue Shu, step back. Since Young Master Mu Bai looks down on us, then I'll show him my superior skills and let him see if my immortal arts are as pathetic as he thinks!"
Xue Shu was initially surprised when she heard Chen Tianwen lose his temper, but she quickly understood what he was thinking.
Chen Tianwen lost his temper in order to divert everyone's attention and then get himself off the stage. He was trying to get himself out of trouble!
So when Chen Tianwen finished speaking, Xue Shu did not hesitate, and without even saying goodbye to Chen Tianwen and Mu Bai, she flew off the stage and landed next to Fairy Lan Xin.
Knowing the relationship between Chen Tianwen and Xue Shu, Fairy Lanxin naturally understood that Chen Tianwen would do everything he could to protect Xue Shu. She had anticipated everything that was happening, so she didn't say much about Xue Shu flying off the stage. She simply gestured for Xue Shu to sit next to her and continued to keep her gaze on the stage.
Mu Bai still hasn't realized why things have come to this.
Faced with Chen Tianwen's challenge, Mu Bai was at a loss for what to do.
He had come to challenge Xue Shu voluntarily, and now that Xue Shu had stepped down from the stage and was facing a challenge from someone else, he had no reason not to accept it.
But if we really fight Chen Tianwen, and he gets hurt in the process, wouldn't our Refining Heart Cave have completely offended Chen Danhuang?
Moreover, I've heard that Chen Tianwen seems to have a close relationship with Cui Shengshi of the Shengyun Sect. If things get investigated, my Refining Heart Cave definitely won't be able to withstand it!
Thinking back, I originally wanted to befriend Chen Tianwen, but I never expected it would end up like this!
