Chapter 975: Chapter 305: Heavy Losses_2
The Primordial Phoenix was slightly taken aback, a trace of realization appeared on her face.
Only then did she understand what Sun Wukong meant.
Turns out he just wanted a benefit before agreeing to ease relations.
Sun Wukong’s eyes fell on the Primordial Phoenix, he smiled faintly and said, “This is what sincerity looks like. Old Sun is not greedy for wealth, but the attitude of the Ancestral Dragon, Old Sun thinks Primordial Phoenix should learn from it a bit.”
Primordial Phoenix: “…”
Clearly an extortion.
Learning a bit is good, but with twenty chests of treasures, she certainly can’t send ordinary things, otherwise if Sun Wukong claims she lacks sincerity, wouldn’t it be a loss for both sides?
Thinking of this, Primordial Phoenix hesitated.
“What’s wrong? Could it be Primordial Phoenix can’t even take out a mere twenty or thirty chests of treasures?”
Sun Wukong asked with a laugh.
He had a look of disdain, the kind that regarded her as impoverished.
Primordial Phoenix was instantly stimulated, she admitted she wasn’t as wealthy as the Dragon Clan.
But as the dignified Primordial Phoenix, Supreme of the Phoenix Lineage, how could she be considered impoverished?
Sun Wukong’s gaze really had a great impact on her.
With this in mind, Primordial Phoenix immediately said, “How could I not take it out, to show my sincerity, I’m willing to give forty chests of treasures.”
A dignified Supreme, to be considered impoverished is absolutely intolerable.
On an impulse, Primordial Phoenix uttered the number of forty chests.
Sun Wukong clapped his hands, extended his thumb, and praised, “As expected of the Progenitor Yuan Feng of the Phoenix Lineage, a peak figure among the Supremes of the Primordial Era, truly bold.”
Primordial Phoenix regretted it almost as soon as she said it.
Seeing Sun Wukong praising her like this, she wanted to take it back, but it was too late.
She could only smile awkwardly, secretly blaming herself.
To be called impoverished was one thing, but now she had given away forty chests of treasures, and her heart was bleeding.
“Fan Yao, quickly go to the Primordial Phoenix and collect the treasures, it can’t be less than forty chests, but I think with her boldness, it won’t be lacking, only more.”
Primordial Phoenix managed a smile, seeing Fan Yao approaching, clearly ready to quickly fulfill the promise.
She sighed internally, having no choice but to deliver the forty chests of treasures.
Fan Yao’s eyes lit up, as the chief logistician of Huaguo Mountain, seeing these treasures made her eyes shine.
Only she knew, although Huaguo Mountain had some foundation, it was really not very wealthy.
If these treasures could be added, it would be a great supplement to Huaguo Mountain’s treasury.
Fan Yao directly collected the treasures, she was elated, while extending her fair hand to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong knew what that meant, and also handed over the twenty chests of treasures from the Ancestral Dragon to Fan Yao.
The Ancestral Dragon and Primordial Phoenix were a bit surprised, not expecting Fan Yao, who seemed to be merely at the Celestial Immortal Realm, controlled all the finances of Huaguo Mountain.
In other words, Fan Yao should be the chief guardian of Huaguo Mountain’s internal affairs.
Such a status is definitely not low, even as a Celestial Immortal, not to be overlooked.
After all, anyone connected with Huaguo Mountain now cannot be provoked.
“Great Saint, the grievances between us?”
Primordial Phoenix asked with some hesitation.
“Grievances?”
Sun Wukong replied in confusion, surprised he said, “You must have remembered incorrectly, our relations have always been good, haven’t they? Where are the grievances, Primordial Phoenix, Progenitor Lin, and Lord of Heaven Ancestor, you comply with the heavenly rules, and are friendly with living beings, friends of Huaguo Mountain and Heavenly Court.”
Seeing Sun Wukong’s change in attitude, Primordial Phoenix was instantly delighted, feeling that the forty chests of treasures were worth giving.
“However, there is a matter I must remind Primordial Phoenix.”
Sun Wukong suddenly said.
Primordial Phoenix was slightly taken aback. She was in a good mood now, and hearing Sun Wukong’s words, she wasn’t too concerned, and said cheerfully, “Great Saint, go ahead.”
“If you heard rumors from outside saying Elder Lord wants to take Old Sun as a disciple, thus coming to make peace with Old Sun, then you might be disappointed, Old Sun will not become a disciple nor Elder Lord’s pupil.”
“What?”
This stunned even the Ancestral Dragon.
He hadn’t expected Sun Wukong to refuse to apprentice.
Even Primordial Phoenix was dumbfounded, staring at Sun Wukong as if trying to see if he was telling the truth.
The reason they came to ease relations, was not wanting to conflict with the Heavenly Court.
But another reason was Elder Lord’s apprentice situation.
If Elder Lord took Sun Wukong as a disciple, and then they opposed Sun Wukong, wouldn’t they be seeking trouble?
Therefore, they came quickly to ease relations.
Who would have thought Sun Wukong actually said he didn’t want apprenticeship.
Primordial Phoenix’s expression fluctuated, she felt somewhat regretful, she should have asked clearly.
Of course, this was just thinking.
She was still a Supreme, if she had immediately asked Sun Wukong about his apprenticeship, wouldn’t it be implying she feared Elder Lord, being weak against the strong, a reputation hard to shake.
“Are you foolish, are you making peace with Sun Wukong because you fear Elder Lord? Regardless of discipleship, Sun Wukong is still Sun Wukong, is there a difference?”
Primordial Phoenix’s heart trembled.
She suddenly realized she was overthinking.
The three of them, had initially not intended to oppose Sun Wukong’s side.
If they continued to oppose, once Emperor Jun returned and the conflict expanded, it would be more difficult for them to extricate themselves.
Now reconciling, it brought them tremendous benefits.
