Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 633 - 518: Decisive Refusal_2

Chapter 633: Chapter 518: Decisive Refusal_2

But just as he thought of this, another idea flashed through He Song’s mind.

If he could think of this, True Monarch Fei Hu, being the person involved, would naturally not fail to consider it.

In the Cultivation World, there is not a fool in existence.

As a Gold Core Cultivator, True Monarch Fei Hu, would naturally not be a fool either.

This means that,

since True Monarch Fei Hu has chosen to inform him of this matter, could it also mean that True Monarch Fei Hu is not worried that this news would leak from him?

Such a thought flashed through his mind, He Song secretly deliberated, and his thoughts became more certain.

Given He Song’s character, even if he were aware of the matter, he would definitely not disclose it to others.

Even though he had only known True Monarch Fei Hu for a few months.

Yet, during these months, True Monarch Fei Hu truly wanted to make friends with He Song.

Even if he initially entertained the thought of having He Song help him capture a Golden Elixir demonic beast.

But the interactions over the following months were indeed genuine.

Now, as long as He Song refuses this matter, his goal would naturally not be achieved.

In such a case, whether or not he approached He Song with an ulterior motive, what does it matter?

In the Cultivation World, everyone has their own goals.

But as long as the goal is not achieved,

Or does not affect others in any way,

The existence of such goals may not be so important after all.

Especially when He Song found out that the true purpose of True Monarch Fei Hu was merely to invite him to join in capturing the Golden Elixir demonic beast.

He Song, having been prepared to refuse any request from True Monarch Fei Hu, would only feel that the latter’s months of effort might have gone to waste.

Without any loss to himself, he naturally would not harbor any ill will towards him.

After all, in these months, the friendship from True Monarch Fei Hu has been solid and genuine.

Although He Song had already decided not to get involved, he would absolutely not commit such a backstabbing act.

Of course,

The main reason for He Song not to make a big deal out of it,

Was also during these months, where he gained knowledge of many secrets from True Monarch Fei Hu that he did not know before.

For He Song, the information gained from True Monarch Fei Hu was quite helpful,

True Monarch Fei Hu did indeed offer considerable assistance to He Song, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the secrets within the Cultivation World.

Besides, He Song had already decided not to get involved in anything that True Monarch Fei Hu mentioned,

And moreover, he would soon be leaving this place.

Whatever happened hereafter, would no longer have much to do with He Song.

Given these premises, as long as True Monarch Fei Hu does not hinder his departure or do anything excessive to him,

He naturally would not be the villain who leaked the matter, given the former had helped him.

Streams of thoughts passed through his mind,

He Song pondered briefly and then slowly shook his head under the eager gaze of True Monarch Fei Hu.

“Far from deceiving you, my friend, my stay here was actually just for purchasing some items,”

“In a few days, these items will be delivered into my hands,”

“By then, it will naturally be time for me to leave”

“Having stayed here for several months, I will continue on my journey without much delay,”

“As for what you mentioned, I might as well consider never having heard it today. I will keep it to myself,”

“In a few days, once I take the items delivered by the Treasure Pavilion, I will leave immediately, not hindering your grand plans,”

“With my meager abilities, I fear I am unfit for such a significant task, I hope you can understand,”

Rising to his feet, bowing,

He Song declined with no hesitation.

Instead of finding other reasons to brush off the matter,

It was better to reveal his purpose for coming here to True Monarch Fei Hu and to tell him the time of his departure as well.

In doing so, he could let True Monarch Fei Hu know of his firm resolve to refuse.

It would also eliminate any glimmer of hope from True Monarch Fei Hu’s heart.

Letting him completely give up on the idea that He Song might agree to his request.

In this way, even if he had offended True Monarch Fei Hu, the latter wouldn’t bear too much enmity towards him.

After all, a clear and reasoned refusal from He Song was certainly better than dragging things out and pulling a disappearing act at the last moment.

After handling it this way, even if the two met elsewhere later on, they could still smile at each other and call one another fellow Daoists.

If He Song had simply given excuses and dragged on the matter until he completely vanished from Zichuan Prefecture Government, he probably would have truly angered True Monarch Fei Hu.

If they met in the future, it might have been inevitable to settle their differences through conflict.

He Song adamantly did not want to make an enemy for no reason.

Therefore, He Song refused without hesitation and did not consider dragging the matter any further.

Regarding this.

True Monarch Fei Hu heard it clearly.

And he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Over the past few months, although he had approached He Song with the thought of asking for help when the time was ripe, as time passed, True Monarch Fei Hu’s initial intent to use He Song had vanished.

After spending months together and truly coming to understand He Song’s character, True Monarch Fei Hu had indeed started to consider genuinely befriending him.

In these months.

During their conversations, He Song would occasionally share some personal matters.

Although True Monarch Fei Hu did not know whether He Song’s stories were true or how much was sincerely meant.

But as a Golden Elixir Master, True Monarch Fei Hu had seen all kinds of cultivators.

Among these cultivators, it was indeed rare to find one like He Song, whose personality could almost be described as indifferent to worldly affairs.

He had once taken out his Treasures for He Song to observe.

And secretly watched He Song’s facial expressions.

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

He had tentatively mentioned that outside of Immortal State, Treasures had appeared, and if He Song was interested, he could go out and claim them.

Upon hearing this, He Song showed no interest in going to check it out.

After such tests.

Upon fully realizing that He Song’s nature did not seem to be an act, and even the things He Song spoke of did not seem to be lies.

True Monarch Fei Hu naturally began to harbor the intention of truly befriending He Song.

In his relationship with He Song, he didn’t need to be as guarded as he was with other Golden Elixir Masters, watching out for He Song.

Because it seemed that He Song probably didn’t covet the Treasures he possessed.

In such a case, why should he guard against the other party?

Such a person, whom he did not need to guard against, and who had no conflict of interest with him, and yet was familiar with him, True Monarch Fei Hu naturally would not easily offend.

Therefore, upon hearing He Song’s rejection, although True Monarch Fei Hu felt regret, he had nothing to refute He Song’s words.

He simply shook his head in disappointment after hearing the refusal and let out a sigh.

“So be it, so be it, since fellow Daoist is about to leave, I shall say no more,”

“There’s no need for such assurances. Since I’ve confided this matter to fellow Daoist, I won’t worry about you disclosing it to others,”

“I trust fellow Daoist’s character,”

“It’s just that… after you leave, if you find the time, you may also come to seek me in Zichuan Prefecture Government,”

“When you visit again, I will surely host another banquet in your honor,”

Bowing to He Song, True Monarch Fei Hu spoke quietly.

Accepting He Song’s arguments.

However, he quickly started to consider his next steps.

Should he now get in touch with the other Gold Core Cultivators within the Zichuan Prefecture Government?

At this point, He Song had clearly refused.

Further entanglement would be meaningless.

It was better to do his utmost to settle the matter as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Twin-winged White Tiger was still in its original place, and it seemed not to have fully grasped its power, to capture it quickly, lest more complications arise as time goes on.
