1133 True Love

Wang Wei's brow furrowed as he looked at his guest. He waved his hand to prevent the latter from bowing. "Do you want me to call you master or sect master?"

"I wouldn't dare," Ye Lao quickly said.

"No matter the circumstances, you were once my master and treated me well. So, if you want, I can give you the honor, status, and wealth worthy of that title."

Ya Lao paused briefly, "I appreciate your kindness and broadmindedness, but I will decline."

"Can I ask why?"

"I don't think I can bear the karma of being your master," Ye Lao replied seriously.

"That's fair," Wang Wei nodded, deciding to stop pursuing the subject. "So, why are you here?"

"I'm here to bring my foolish disciple's greetings and gratitude."

"Why didn't he come himself?"

"He...well, there were some complications due to how he proved the Dao, so he sent me instead. He hoped to hive his regard with this formula."

Wang Wei calmly looked at the talisman in Ya Lao's hand but did not take it. "He's an Eternal Powerhouse now and should act like it. Tell him to come see me if he wants to give me his regards."

"That..."

"Cuddling him won't help," added Wang Wei. "Such a weak Dao Heart is probably one of the reasons why he couldn't become a true eternal. Go tell him what he said, and I won't accept any more excuses."

"As you wish," Ye Lao nodded with a deep sigh. He bowed - and Wang Wei did not stop him this time ??? before walking out. A few minutes later, Lou Cheng walked into the room with his wife, Lan Ling. They immediately bowed while saying: "Salutation to his majesty, the Heavenly Emperor." (2x)

"At ease," nodded Wang Wei calmly. Lou Cheng glanced at his wife, and after she nodded innocuously, he continued: "I came bringing gifts to show my gratitude."

"Gratitude? If it's about your Innate Talent, I don't think you need to thank me."

"No, it's...not about that," explained Lou Cheng. "As you know, I received an inheritance from the Flame Emperor."

"Yes, the Dao Proving Pill."

Lou Cheng's body paused, but then he realized it was normal for the man before him to know by now. "Yes, that. I would never have been able to find the materials for the recipe if not for all your achievements in expanding the resource pool of the world."

"Oh, I see." Wang Wei understood why this man was thankful. The formula for that pill must display extreme skills in herbology or the understanding and combination of spiritual herbs. Without the resources from a third of the lower dimension, Lou Cheng would definitely spend most of his lifetime hunting down the materials for the pill.

"I came to offer this recipe to show my sincerity," continued Lou Cheng, handing up a talisman with the Dao Proving Pill. Wang Wei calmly looked at him. He knew Lou Cheng was not this out of the kindness of his heart. A method like the Do Proving Pill - similar to the Merit Method ??? cannot be kept by a faction like the Dao Origin Pill. No one would do anything now under Wang Wei's reign, or maybe in the next few generations, but sooner or later, someone will be interested.

Although the Origin Pill Dao Sect had just cultivated its sixth Emperor, it was a pill-refining sect not known for its strength. So, the best action was to hand it over to the Dao Opening Sect for their protection.

'Of course, the main driving force behind Lou Cheng's action is not the preservation of his sect but to protect himself. He seems to still fear me.'

"What's with that strange mentality you have toward me?"

"Pardon me?" asked Lou Cheng.

"It seems you have this innate low self-esteem that everything you've accomplished so far was due to me, despite countless proofs otherwise. You even have this fear that I will come and take away your life, returning you to the state you were before I took over your fate."

The room became quiet as Lou Cheng lowered his head while his hands were still raised in the position of handing over the talisman.

"Well, say something."

"Ra...rationally, I know you have nothing to do with my success. However, internally, I cannot help it."

"The Flame Emperor gave you his inheritance, not me. Shouldn't that tell you something?"

"That tells me that I was a pawn that was easier to manipulate."

"I guess you're not as stupid as you look," Wang Wei declared. "However, in this vast universe, everyone is a pawn of someone else - and that goes for me as well." Lou Cheng was shocked by these words and did not know how to process such a piece of information; his body even instinctively stood straight.

"Tell me, do you think your senior sister would abandon you to get with someone better, Let's say ??? me?"
