#4041 - Provoking Relations (Part 2)
“Hmph, it's not that I have any problem with this ancient and primordial first saint, it's just, did you all see this guy's attitude? Hongjun didn't show even a hint of respect towards Qin Emperor, could it be that Qin Emperor, such a heaven-defying existence, is just so-so in Hongjun's eyes? Is he being too arrogant?”
“At least he is the ancient and primordial first saint, it's not unacceptable for him to show such an attitude, and we don't need to stick up for Qin Emperor. Have you seen Qin Emperor suffer a loss after all these years? I certainly haven't. Qin Emperor is someone who never suffers a loss.”
“Exactly, exactly, Hongjun is treating Qin Emperor like this now, but there will be a time when he'll suffer for it. Hongjun will definitely regret what he's doing now! He will understand very clearly how inadvisable it is to provoke Qin Emperor, especially now, not giving Qin Emperor any face in public is just too much!”
“I wonder what Qin Emperor wants from Hongjun now. Could it be to discuss preventing him from joining forces with those old guys in the depths of the Barren Land? In my opinion, that's not very realistic. Those old guys in the depths of the Barren Land are now determined to fight to the end and won't be influenced in the slightest.”
......
Qin BuYi didn't pay much attention to Hongjun's provocation.
Like I said, why should someone who is in the upper hand care about these minor details?
The benefits will all be his eventually. If he makes a big fuss with Hongjun over these minor details, it would only make him seem less refined.
“Whether I take myself seriously or not is not important, what's important is what you think of this matter?”
Hongjun didn't think too much before answering Qin BuYi's question this time:
“After so many years, I finally have a chance to escape the seal. Are you going to deprive me of it?”
Qin BuYi said: “If you want freedom in the future, I can naturally give it to you when my power is sufficient, but now is not the time.”
When he could completely control Hongjun, he could give him freedom within a certain range.
As long as Hongjun doesn't mess around during this time, it's actually acceptable.
Ideas and thoughts are changing every moment, and this kind of change is normal.
Hongjun thought for a moment, then said: “How do I know you're not deceiving me?”
He had seen Qin BuYi's delaying tactics before.
He proposed reconciliation when he didn't have enough power.
As a result, as soon as his combat power entered the Saint Realm, he immediately turned hostile.
It's difficult to cooperate with such an old schemer!
No one knows when they will be sold out.
When the old guys in the depths of the Barren Land heard what Qin BuYi said, they immediately felt a little uneasy.
What they fear most now is Hongjun betraying them.
Once this guy thinks about betraying them, wouldn't that be selling them out?
“Do you think Hongjun will agree to the native's request just like that? It sounds tempting to me. Compared to this dangerous gamble, it seems that the stability and feasibility of a promise are more important. I'm just afraid that Hongjun will give up fighting with the native. If that's the case, we'll all have to think of other ways out.”
“If that's the case, let's just not think about other ways out and collectively self-destruct, isn't the final result the same anyway? It's just letting this native kid and Hongjun completely devour us. Why have we, the Chaos Gods of the Barren Land, fallen to this point! It's unbelievable.”
“We have fallen to this point entirely because of the cunning and despicable actions of Hongjun and this native. If it weren't for the two of them constantly causing trouble and even attacking us from all sides, how could we be so passive? They better pray that they never let the initiative fall back into our hands.”
“Don't worry about that. They can't possibly hand over the initiative to us. Neither Hongjun nor this native kid is a fool. Why would they do something so strenuous and unrewarding? The situation is becoming more and more passive, and we are becoming more and more difficult. Just thinking about it makes me feel like it's an unsolvable dead end.”
......
Hongjun was indeed a little conflicted at this time.
Soon he cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind.
The reason why Qin BuYi is treating him like this now is because the situation makes him very uncomfortable and passive.
If the situation improves even a little bit, this guy will definitely change his attitude.
As for saying he'll give himself freedom in the future, wouldn't his life and death still be controlled by the other party then?
“Don't even think about sowing discord between us. The first person I will deal with after my power recovers is you!”
Qin BuYi shook his head and immediately stopped talking.
He had achieved his purpose for coming. He didn't have the ability to spout lotus flowers, so he naturally couldn't change Hongjun's mind with just a few words.
He was just planting a seed in Hongjun and the old guys in the depths of the Barren Land.
As for when this seed will sprout, and whether it will sprout in the future, these are not things that Qin BuYi cares about.
It was just a chess move he made.
It would be good if this chess piece could play a role in the future, but it wouldn't have a particularly big impact if it didn't.
Seeing Qin BuYi's performance, Hongjun's eyes kept changing.
Then he watched Qin BuYi leave, and he felt even more empty in his heart.
According to his speculation, he had already angrily rebuked Qin BuYi like that.
There was no way this guy would leave so easily.
Maybe he would fight him.
In fact, the other party was different from his initial expectations.
He just left without saying a word...
Unexpected, really unexpected!
“What exactly does he want to do?” Hongjun thought to himself.
Recalling the times Qin BuYi came to him, it seemed that he had a purpose every time.
What's hard to accept is that he couldn't see through the other party's purpose every time.
It wasn't just him who was thinking about what Qin BuYi wanted to do.
The Chaos Gods in the Barren Land were also thinking about this matter.
“Everyone, what do you think this native wants to do? He wouldn't have come to Hongjun just to say these two sentences, would he? If he really just came to say these two sentences, then our estimate and speculation of the native would be a bit too high. I believe it definitely won't be like this. If it's not like this, then what does the other party want to do with this opportunity?”
“How would we know about this matter? From the beginning of dealing with this native kid, the other party has never let us feel at ease. Tell me, when has this bastard ever let us feel at ease? He has always been constantly targeting us, targeting us to the extreme! Now he's even come up with such an incomprehensible operation.”
“It's precisely because it's incomprehensible that I guess there must be a plan in it that we don't know about. If we can't thoroughly understand and figure out this plan, and Hongjun really joins forces with this native kid in the future, then how will we deal with ourselves? Are we going to watch them plot against us?”
“Alright, the situation hasn't reached such a bad state yet, has it? Since it hasn't reached such a bad state, there's no point in us saying these things now. Saying too much can easily cause some unpredictable changes in the situation, and it will be difficult for both of us to end it then, so we might as well just pretend that we don't know anything, that's better!”
......
Anyway, they have survived all these years by playing dumb.
This crisis can naturally be overcome safely by playing dumb as well.
