Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1420

"I haven’t seen you in a long time," Wang Wei commented as he served Ao Tianyi the tea.

"Yes, it has been a while," the dragon nodded as he accepted the tea and sipped it.

"You look different," Wang Wei added.

"How so?"

"Your aura doesn’t have the former arrogance that you were the most important thing between Heaven and Earth." Ao Tianyi almost choked after hearing these words.

"No, it’s even more extreme than that. It’s almost as if all your pride and arrogance are gone," Wang Wei continued.

"Well," Ao Tianyi sighed. "My father gave me a wake-up call and showed me the world’s truth."

"Sounds like a good father," Wang Wei praised. He only took a small sip of his tea as he was tired of drinking tea. Although these meetings were a dozen or even years apart, he still felt they were too frequent, which is why he did not desire any tea or wine.

"Maybe," Ao Tianyi replied. He was happy his father woke him up from his stupor of arrogance and pride, but a part of him was resentful that he did it in such a rough manner. That terrible trial broke Ao Tianyi’s spirit and rebuilt it step by step, and he was not happy with the experience.

"So, what brought you to see me?" Wang Wei asked directly.

"I’m here for two things," Ao Tianyi replied. "Firstly, it’s about our clan’s Ancestral Talisman."

"Ancestral Talisman? What does that have to do with me?"

"Nothing directly," Ao Tianyi replied. "We believed it was in Xun Junyao’s hands after she killed Blood Dragon. The temple has been trying to recover it, but she is hard to find. Our information network indicated you had a close association with her, so we hoped you could help us regain the talisman."

"Then, you’ll be disappointed," Wang Wei replied.

"Don’t be in a hurry to refuse yet," Ao Tianyi said. "We are willing to offer you an additional 20 pills."

"That’s an interesting offer, but that won’t change my mind."

"How about 30 pills?"

Wang Wei frowned. "Since when is your temple so wealthy?"

"We are probably the oldest faction, so why are you surprised by our wealth?"

"No, you should have already wasted most of that wealth," Wang Wei countered.

Ao Tianyi coughed in embarrassment, "Anyway, you only need to know we are very wealthy regarding Existence Healing Pills."

"Is that so?" Wang Wei muttered.

"So, what do you say?"

"I can’t help you get the talisman back."

"If —"

"Wait until I’m finished," Wang Wei raised his hand to stop him. "For the same price, I can help you communicate with her to come to an agreement."

"So, you make no promise of success?"

"My relationship with her is that of close acquaintances, so I couldn’t guarantee success even if I wanted to," Wang Wei replied. "However, I can promise to persuade her, but if she refuses, I won’t use any force or any kind of coercion to help your temple."

Ao Tianyi mulled it over and accepted this offer: "Alright, but if the negotiation fails, I hope you don’t intervene in our effort to retake the talisman during the Mortalhood Trial."

"That’s fine by me," Wang Wei responded before contacting Xun Junyao. Their negotiation was swift and the opposite of challenging. Xun Junyoa is a remarkable woman, so she understood the danger of having a target on her back by one of the Overlords. So, she agreed to return to the Dragon Talisman, and what she wanted in exchange was a few Void-Breaking Talismans created by peak Paragons.

These talismans were not as good as the Dragon Talismans, but they made up in value with the number she asked for. Ao Tianyi wanted to refuse, but under Wang Wei’s guarantee and protection, Xun Junyao finally got her asking price.

’I am one step closer to breaking the fate line between us,’ Wang Wei contemplated calmly.

"Was there a need to go to this length to protect her?" Ao Tianyi complained.

"I always treat my friends well."

"I thought she was only an acquaintance," Ao Tianyi rebutted, and Wang Wei smiled, showing all his perfectly neat and white teeth. "Let’s move on to your second problem. I have a feeling that’s the primary reason you visited me."
