Hearing this, the old man’s mouth twitched. He couldn’t help but look away.
His Master was too honest. How could he tell her straightforwardly that he was here to find out the truth?
“But now I changed my mind again.”
As the Venerable Lord spoke, he took another sip of wine, then looked at Feng Jiu, saying, “You are entertaining guests with good wine and food. How about this? Let me stay here too. I won’t go back. How about you select the people in my city, pick those whom you like and drive away those whom you don’t like?”
Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows. “Really?”
“Can I joke with you about this? Really. What do you think?” He took the food and ate, oblivious to the fact that the old man was tugging at his robe from behind.
Seeing this, Feng Jiu smiled and poured another glass of wine. “Do you know what are the conditions I have for staying here?”
“Are there still conditions? Don’t we just serve you as our Master? Although we are both cultivators of Immortal Venerable rank and our strength is similar, but it’s just the way it is here. What does it matter how strong you are? Why not serve you as our Master? But only on the premise that there’s enough wine.”
As he spoke, he took another sip. He felt the old man behind him tugging at his robe. He put down the jug abruptly with a loud bang and looked back at him with displeasure. “Tell me if you have something to say. Why are you pulling my robe?”
The old man’s face was hot when he received this scolding and shot an awkward glance at Feng Jiu. Seeing that she just smiled and didn’t say anything, he opened his mouth in a low voice and persuaded the Venerable Lord. “Master, you can’t just recognize her as your Master! Don’t you forget, she’s a woman. Why do you have to take her as your Master for the sake of this wine? How can this work?”
“Tch!” The Venerable Lord sneered. After a glance at the old man, he looked at Feng Jiu. “City Lord Feng, what do you think is the reason why I should stay and pay allegiance to you?”
Feng Jiu took a sip of the wine with her lips slightly curved. “After seeing the situation clearly, you know that this is the best thing to do.” She paused slightly, looked at him, and said, “That’s why I said that you are very unusual and daring.”
Since he dared to come to her door in such a way, it was enough to see how bold his heart was. If she had such a person, he could help her take care of the affairs of Heavenly Dynasty Palace in the future.
“Did you hear that?” He looked at the old man next to him. “This is the reason why I decided to stay.”
In his opinion, this was the way it was here. They couldn’t advance in strength and it was impossible for him to leave after being trapped in this place. Since that was the case, what was there to argue about?
The character and conduct of the person in front of him perfectly suited him. But calling Master, why was it difficult to come out of his mouth?
The old man opened his mouth but still didn’t say anything after a long time. He was dumbfounded. If he knew that his Master had come here with such an idea, even if he was killed, he would have dragged his Master, not allowing him to come here. But now, did his Master mean that he had no intention to go back? Did he indeed want to stay here?
For a moment, he stood there blankly, feeling that he could not keep up with his Master’s thinking. If Venerable Lord recognized City Lord Feng as his Master, then who would be his Master in the future?
Gu Xiang, standing behind Feng Jiu, was also struck dumb. He didn’t expect that the Venerable Lord would come to the door and say that he wanted to stay and serve their Master.
If the matter were settled in this way, if it were to spread, it was probable that the other forces would not recover from their shock for a long time and would start to get agitated.
And those people under the Insouciant Venerable Lord would all be taken by surprise…
