Chapter 518 Decisive Refusal

Chapter 518 Decisive Refusal

This was the arrogance of someone born into a Great Power.

It was also the answer he gave based on his understanding of He Song's character over these past months.

Just a Golden Core Monster Beast.

It was not yet worth it for He Song, a Golden Core Cultivator from a Great Power, to stoop to doing anything excessive.

People from Great Power factions still valued face quite a bit.

They wouldn't immediately publicize this matter after learning about it.

Therefore.

Even if He Song did not agree, he still had time to continue planning this matter.

However, without He Song's participation, this matter would probably not be as smooth as he had imagined.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and in Perfected Person Flying Tiger's gaze towards He Song, a hint of anticipation also emerged.

And with Perfected Person Flying Tiger's sincere invitation.

He Song's eyes flickered, and the decision he had made months ago when he felt something was amiss, now seemed a little more clear.

Back then, He Song, after suddenly realizing that the Zhao Family's attitude towards him was slightly off, had made a decision in his heart.

That was, no matter what Perfected Person Flying Tiger wanted to ask him to do next, he could not agree.

After all, before the two sides had even met, the Zhao Family had already treated him with a grand welcoming attitude.

It was conceivable how significant the matter Perfected Person Flying Tiger was seeking would be.

In these months.

He Song had been pondering the warm welcome he received when he first set foot in the Zhao Family.

And the subsequent matters of Perfected Person Flying Tiger frequently visiting him to chat, wondering if there was anything hidden within.

But suffering from a lack of clues, he could only give up in the end.

But today.

As soon as he heard Perfected Person Flying Tiger mention this matter, He Song's heart skipped a beat.

It's here!

The matter he had been guessing at for months without success, finally surfaced.

At this moment, He Song breathed a slight sigh of relief in his heart.

Finally, there was no need to guess about this matter anymore.

But soon, the content of Perfected Person Flying Tiger's words flashed through He Song's mind.

Capture a Golden Core Demon Beast?

Two-Winged White Tiger?

Four, or even five Golden Core True Lords taking action together?

Listening to Perfected Person Flying Tiger's words, this matter seemed very simple.

As long as He Song agreed, then very soon, Perfected Person Flying Tiger would be able to gather four to five Golden Core True Lords to go out together and capture this Golden Core Demon Beast, the Two-Winged White Tiger.

With at least four, or even five Golden Core True Lords taking action together.

Plus, the Cultivation Level of that Two-Winged White Tiger was only equivalent to a Cultivator at the Early Golden Core Stage.

Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be a sure thing?

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song's gaze remained calm as he glanced at Perfected Person Flying Tiger in front of him, who was looking at him expectantly.

A trace of doubt also flashed through his mind.

Was the matter really as simple as Perfected Person Flying Tiger had said?

He Song had heard quite a bit about the rarity of Golden Core Demon Beasts. Previously, he was able to learn from Su Qian's message that a Golden Core Demon Beast had appeared in Cloud Prefecture, but that was just a Fortuitous Coincidence.

Moreover, He Song had no idea what the subsequent fate of that Golden Core Demon Beast was.

Afterwards, Su Qian never mentioned the whereabouts of that Golden Core Demon Beast again.

However, in the nearly two hundred years that He Song had spent in Cultivation in the Cultivation World, he had only coincidentally heard of the existence of Golden Core Demon Beasts once.

The rarity of Golden Core Demon Beasts was probably far beyond imagination.

If the news were to leak.

Or if any accidents occurred during the capture of this Golden Core Demon Beast.

It would probably quickly attract the attention of many Golden Core True Lords.

At that time.

Perhaps this matter of capturing a Golden Core Demon Beast would turn into a Golden Core melee.

Once that really happened, the consequences would be unpredictable.

He Song just slightly deduced it in his mind and sensed the huge danger hidden within this matter.

Perfected Person Flying Tiger wanted to capture this Golden Core Spirit Tiger to be his own Spirit Beast.

Then, he would inevitably need to tell others about this news.

After telling others about this matter, even if Perfected Person Flying Tiger offered a huge reward, he probably wouldn't be able to stop the greed in people's hearts.

Whether it was informing He Song, or informing other Golden Core True Lords in Purple River State Capital, there was a possibility of the news leaking.

After learning about this matter, knowing that there was actually a Golden Core Spirit Beast in Purple River Province, would other Golden Core True Lords use this matter as a bargaining chip to collude with other Cultivators?

One should know that truly helping Perfected Person Flying Tiger capture this Golden Core Demon Beast would only get them the reward promised by Perfected Person Flying Tiger.

But if they used this news as a bargaining chip to collude with other Cultivators.

What they might get was a Golden Core Demon Beast.

A Golden Core Spirit Beast that could rapidly strengthen their own strength, and would become stronger and stronger as time passed.

It would naturally make the Golden Core True Lords within the Golden Snake Sect Territory, who were quite knowledgeable in the Beast Taming Art, have another idea.

Moreover, if they were unwilling to bear the risks of this method.

They could also send this news out, to some Cultivators with prominent identities.

For example, Golden Core Elders in a certain Nascent Soul Upper Sect who had a sect backing them.

Perhaps, with the scarcity of this news, they could also obtain some unexpected benefits from the other party.

In short.

The news of this Golden Core Demon Beast was extremely valuable.

The way Perfected Person Flying Tiger was doing it, he was very likely to lose both his wife and his troops, and be making wedding clothes for others for nothing.

However, thinking of this, another idea flashed through He Song's mind.

He could think of this point, so naturally Perfected Person Flying Tiger, as the person involved, couldn't possibly not think of it.

There were no fools in the Cultivation World.

Perfected Person Flying Tiger, as a Golden Core Cultivator, naturally couldn't be a fool either.

In other words.

Since Perfected Person Flying Tiger had already chosen to tell him about this matter, did it also mean that Perfected Person Flying Tiger was not worried that this news would leak out from him?

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song secretly calculated for a moment, and the thoughts in his heart also became more certain.

Based on He Song's character, even if he knew about this matter, he would absolutely not tell others about it.

Even though Perfected Person Flying Tiger had only known him for a few months.

But, Perfected Person Flying Tiger had indeed sincerely wanted to befriend He Song in these months.

Even though from the beginning, he had been harboring the idea of wanting He Song to help him capture a Golden Core Demon Beast.

But the friendship over the following months was also sincere.

Although Perfected Person Flying Tiger's ultimate goal was now displayed in front of He Song.

But Perfected Person Flying Tiger's purpose this time was also within the realm of human nature.

Under such circumstances, what did it matter if he came to befriend He Song with a purpose?

In the Cultivation World, everyone had all sorts of purposes.

But as long as this purpose was not achieved.

Or did not cause any impact on others.

Then perhaps the existence of this purpose was not that important.

Especially, when He Song learned that Perfected Person Flying Tiger's purpose was actually just to invite him to go with him to capture that Golden Core Demon Beast.

He Song, who had long been prepared not to agree to anything Perfected Person Flying Tiger asked, only felt that Perfected Person Flying Tiger's efforts over these months had probably gone down the drain.

Since he had not suffered any losses, he naturally would not have any ill feelings towards him.

After all, in these months, Perfected Person Flying Tiger's befriending was genuine.

Although He Song had long decided not to participate, he would absolutely not do such a backstabbing thing.

Of course.

The main reason why He Song didn't mind this matter was still that in these months, he had obtained many secrets from Perfected Person Flying Tiger's mouth that he had not known before.

For He Song, the information he got from Perfected Person Flying Tiger was quite helpful to him.

This Perfected Person Flying Tiger had also helped He Song quite a bit, allowing He Song to understand the secrets in the Cultivation World even better.

In addition to this, He Song had also long thought about it, he would not participate in anything Perfected Person Flying Tiger said.

Moreover, he would also be leaving this place very soon.

Next, anything that happened in this place would no longer have much to do with He Song.

Under these few premises, as long as Perfected Person Flying Tiger did not prevent him from leaving this place, or do anything excessive to He Song.

He naturally would not be the petty person who leaked this matter, given that the other party had helped him.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

He Song pondered for a moment, then directly, under Perfected Person Flying Tiger's expectant gaze, slowly shook his head.

"Not hiding it from Fellow Daoist, my stay in this place was actually just to purchase some things."

"Now, these things will be delivered to me in a few days."

"When that time comes, it will naturally be when I leave."

"I have stayed here for several months, and will still continue to move forward, not staying for too long."

"As for what Fellow Daoist said, I can treat it as if I never heard it today, and I will keep my mouth shut about this matter."

"After a few days, when I take away the items sent by Treasure Gathering Pavilion, I will leave immediately, and will not affect Fellow Daoist's grand plan."

"My strength is low, and I am afraid it will be difficult to shoulder this great responsibility, please forgive me, Fellow Daoist."

Standing up, cupping his hands.

He Song's words of refusal were spoken without hesitation.

Rather than looking for other reasons to perfunctorily dismiss this matter.

It was better to directly tell Perfected Person Flying Tiger his purpose for coming here, and also tell him the date of his departure.

In this way, he could both let Perfected Person Flying Tiger know his determination to refuse.

And also dispel the fluke mentality in Perfected Person Flying Tiger's heart.

Let him completely give up the idea of whether He Song could agree to this matter.

In this way, even if he offended Perfected Person Flying Tiger, it would not cause Perfected Person Flying Tiger to have too much resentment towards him.

After all, He Song's reasoned and clear refusal was better than dragging it on and then disappearing at the last moment.

After doing so, even if the two met again elsewhere, they could still smile at each other and call each other Fellow Daoist.

If He Song was really just perfunctory, and then kept dragging this matter on, until he left Purple River Province Capital and completely disappeared, he would probably really offend Perfected Person Flying Tiger to death.

If the two met again in the future, they would probably have to settle their grudges.

He Song was absolutely unwilling to make himself an enemy for no reason.

Therefore, He Song spoke his words of refusal without hesitation, and did not intend to drag this matter on.

Regarding this.

Perfected Person Flying Tiger heard it clearly.

He also couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In these months, although when he first approached He Song, he had the idea in his heart of waiting for the opportunity to mature before asking He Song for help.

But as months passed, Perfected Person Flying Tiger no longer had the initial idea of simply using He Song.

After spending months together, and truly understanding He Song's temperament, Perfected Person Flying Tiger actually also developed a sincere intention to befriend He Song.

During these months.

When Perfected Person Flying Tiger chatted with He Song, He Song would occasionally talk about some things about himself.

Although Perfected Person Flying Tiger didn't know if what He Song said was true or false, and how much of it was sincere.

But as a Golden Core True Lord, Perfected Person Flying Tiger had also seen all kinds of Cultivators.

Among these Cultivators, those who were like He Song, with a temperament that could almost be described as indifferent to worldly affairs, were really not common.

He had taken out his treasures and let He Song admire them.

And secretly observed the changes in He Song's expression.

But he saw that He Song did not reveal the slightest hint of greed.

He had tentatively mentioned that treasures had appeared outside of Immortal Prefecture, and if He Song was interested, he could go out to retrieve them.

After hearing this news, He Song didn't even have the intention to go and check it out.

After several such attempts.

After truly realizing that He Song's temperament did not seem to be fake, and even what He Song said did not seem to be false.

Perfected Person Flying Tiger naturally gradually developed a sincere intention to befriend He Song.

Befriending He Song, he did not need to guard against He Song as he did against other Golden Core True Lords.

Because He Song probably didn't even look down on the treasures on him.

Under such circumstances, why should he guard against the other party?

Such a person who did not need to be guarded against, and who had no conflict of interest with him, and who was also familiar with him, Perfected Person Flying Tiger naturally could not easily offend the other party.

Therefore, after hearing He Song's refusal, although Perfected Person Flying Tiger was regretful in his heart, he had nothing to refute to He Song's words.

He just shook his head regretfully after hearing He Song's refusal, and also sighed.

"Forget it, forget it, since Fellow Daoist is about to leave, then I won't say any more."

"Fellow Daoist also doesn't need to make such a guarantee, since I can tell Fellow Daoist about this matter, I am not worried that Fellow Daoist will tell others about it."

"I still trust Fellow Daoist's character."

"It's just… after Fellow Daoist leaves, if you happen to have free time, you can also come to this Purple River State Capital to find me."

"When Fellow Daoist comes again, I will definitely host a welcome banquet for Fellow Daoist again."

Cupping his hands towards He Song, Perfected Person Flying Tiger spoke slowly.

It was also considered accepting He Song's explanation.

However, in his heart, he quickly began to plan the next steps.

Next, should he contact the other Golden Core True Lords in Purple River State Capital?

Now that things had come to this, He Song had clearly refused.

Continuing to pester him would be meaningless.

It was better to do his best to finalize this matter as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Two-Winged White Tiger was still in the same place, and seemed to have not fully mastered its power yet, capture it as soon as possible, to avoid complications.
