C1388 Conditions of Brocedrine
For the time being, the results were fairly satisfactory.
At least Pu Miling revived successfully.
And Han Chen had also saved Shen Yu.
In the following days, the Spirit Demoness sealed off all news of the entire tribe.
At the very least, in the near future, the news of their ancestor reviving would definitely not leak out.
After all, Pu Miling's arrival would surely be an earth-shattering event that would cause a sensation in the five continents.
Of course, this was also Pu Miling's own intention.
In an ancient and grand hall.
With both hands behind his back, Pu Miling's gaze stopped at a painting on the wall directly above the great hall.
Pu Miling's eyes were calm and gentle, and the corners of her mouth were raised slightly in a slight curve.
The person on the painting was a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance. The woman in the painting sat in the pavilion as her hands caressed the zither, like a fairy.
Beside the lady who was playing the zither was a man holding a flute.
From the shape of his body and his facial features, it was clear that the man holding the flute was Pu Miling.
"Ancestor, Han Chen and the others have come."
Just then, Spirit Demoness Patriarch Pu Canghun walked in respectfully.
Behind him were Han Chen, Shen Yu and another three people.
Pu Miling turned around and faced the few of them. Her devilishly handsome face could not help but reveal the majesty of a king.
"Greetings, Patriarch Pu."
"Shen Yu greets ancestor."
Han Chen cupped his fists, a look of respect on his face.
No matter what, the man in front of him was an extremely powerful being that shook the world thousands of years ago.
Even the first generation Holy Maiden of Kaihuang, Zhongli Yanchang, treated him with some respect, so naturally, Han Chen had no reason to be disrespectful.
Pu Miling revealed a gentle smile, and looked at Han Chen with interest, saying, "Shouldn't you also be calling me 'Ancestor'?"
"Hmm?"
When these words came out, Han Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
Pu Miling continued to speak, "I clearly remember that back then, when Linxing City's Pu Jia was offering sacrifices to its ancestor, you participated in the offering as the Young Master of Pu Jia. Since you are from the Pu Jia, is it more appropriate to call me Ancestral? "
These words surprised everyone present.
Pu Canghun quickly understood the meaning behind his words. It was obvious that Pu Miling was trying to rope Han Chen in.
Indeed, for a genius like Han Chen, no matter which sect he was placed in, he would always be a target for everyone. However, the way Pu Miling used, it didn't seem like she was recruiting, but more like she was' recognizing relatives'.
This made it easier for Han Chen to feel a sense of familiarity.
"This?"
Han Chen was in a bit of a difficult situation. Honestly speaking, when he was at the Pu Jia's Ancestor's side, he was still muddle-headed and a little unwilling. But after glancing at Shen Yu, he still nodded and replied.
"Yes, Han Chen greets Ancestor."
"Hehe, not bad!"
Pu Miling smiled slightly, a sense of satisfaction emerged from between her brows, "Now that you are my Young Master Spirit Demoness and have obtained a portion of the power of my 'Ancestral Spirit', are you willing to stay in my Spirit Demoness?"
What Pu Miling had said just now was just a bluff.
This time, the topic had truly become clear.
However, this time, Han Chen didn't even think about it and bluntly refused, "I am grateful for the ancestor's good intentions."
"Oh? "You don't want to?"
"Han Chen had already joined the Sacred Sect more than a year ago. Plus, the Holy Gate has not treated me unfairly for more than a year. So, please forgive Han Chen for not being able to stay in Spirit Demoness. "
When Han Chen finished speaking, Zhongli Yanchang's beautiful eyes twitched, and her face revealed a trace of a smile.
In regards to Han Chen's direct rejection, Pu Miling was not angry at all. Instead, he asked, "What's so good about joining the Sacred Gate? Chu Lige couldn't teach him herself either. If you were to remain in the Spirit Demoness, I will definitely personally teach you. Not only will you impart me all of the knowledge you've learnt throughout your life, you might even be the one to be in the entire Spirit Demoness in the future. "
Under these conditions, there were only a few people in the world who would not be tempted.
Just by the condition of 'Pu Miling personally teaching', it was enough to make countless geniuses in the world go crazy for him.
At that moment, Zhongli Yanchang actually hoped that Han Chen would agree to it.
In that case, Han Chen's future would be much broader than staying in the Sacred Gate.
But, Han Chen still rejected him without hesitation.
"Please forgive Han Chen for not accepting the ancestor's good intentions. Before I left the holy sect, I had promised Great Elder Fu Shan that as long as I was a disciple of the holy sect, I would never choose to join another sect. If a person did not trust someone, then he would not be able to do so. As a stately eight foot man, how can Han Chen go back on his words? "
Even at this point, Han Chen still did not agree.
Pu Miling had no other choice, she smiled and shook his head, "Looks like the reason why you called me your ancestor was also because you were unwilling, right?"
"Are you done!?"
"Heh heh, there's no need to explain anymore. Speak! How can I please you? for you to willingly call this reputed one "Ancestor"? "
Pu Miling saw through Han Chen's thoughts with a glance.
Although it looked like Han Chen's personality was more gentle, but deep down, he still had a bit of arrogance.
The reason why Han Chen treated Pu Miling with such respect was because of the other party's identity. For such a world-shaking figure like him, it was normal for him to 'bend his waist' in front of him. After all, even someone like Zhongli Yanchang had to show some respect to him.
And the reason why they addressed him as "Ancestor" was mostly because of Shen Yu.
But just now, Pu Miling had used the word 'please'.
Let Han Chen express his own conditions, and let Pu Miling satisfy the other party for the sake of a willing 'ancestor'.
It had to be said that Pu Miling truly thought highly of Han Chen.
If word of this got out, it would 'stun' countless people's jaws.
Han Chen raised his eyelids, but said: "I won't hide it from ancestor, I do have something that I want to request of you."
"Oh?"
"Ancestor, please help this friend of mine recover his sacred body." Han Chen's gaze turned towards Zhongli Yanchang, who had been silent all this time.
Hearing these words, Zhongli Yanchang's heartstrings trembled slightly as her beautiful eyes rippled with light.
Pu Miling raised his handsome eyebrow, and laughed lightly: "You gave me such a difficult request the moment you opened your mouth? Where's Chu Lige? Does he not care about her disciple herself? "
Without waiting for Han Chen's reply, Pu Canghun stepped forward and said, "Reporting to our ancestor, there has been no news from the Saint Sect's Leader for almost a hundred years now."
"Oh? So it's a closed door training! " Pu Miling's face revealed a playful smile. Then, if I were to help her reconstruct her sacred body, what benefits would I gain? "
"Han Chen is willing to do anything."
"Alright then! Since you have joined the Spirit Demoness, I have agreed to help you restore her sacred body. "
After making a turn, he once again returned to this topic.
But the difference from before, was that this time, the one holding the upper hand was Pu Miling.
A mocking smile could be seen on the other party's face.
Han Chen immediately understood that he had been tricked.
As expected, age is indeed wiser. Just a few simple sentences, and Pu Miling had beaten him back.
The main hall immediately sank into an anxious state.
Pu Canghun stood to the side and watched the show.
Han Chen had fallen into a dilemma, helping Yan Chang rebuild her holy body. Then, she would have to betray the Sacred Gate and become someone who would break her word. The words that were loyal to her heart were unable to help Yan Chang.
This choice simply made it difficult for Han Chen to make a choice.
Zhongli Yanchang let out a light breath, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and her red lips parted. "Follow your heart and go! I can still wait. I believe that one day, you will be able to help me reconstruct my divine body. "
Zhongli Yanchang did not wish for Han Chen to make things difficult for him, because one must know, how difficult it was for a person to abandon his principles. Furthermore, if Han Chen were to abandon the Sacred Gate and join Spirit Demoness.
How would he be able to face Great Elder Fu Shan in the future? How could he face Chi Song?
And how could he face Yu Fenglan?
Han Chen clenched his fists tightly, a determined look flashed past his eyes, and he stared at Pu Miling as he spat out a few words.
"I promise you!"
I promise you
When these words came out, Zhongli Yanchang couldn't help but be stunned, as she looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.
Han Chen turned his face to the side with unswerving determination, and at the same time, furrowed his brows, it was filled with a few degrees of ruthlessness.
At this time, Han Chen's heart was in pain.
Others might not know, but Zhongli Yanchang was very clear that when Han Chen made this decision, he struggled greatly in his heart. What he lost was not only his reputation. and even lost the chance to face Yu Fenglan in the future, along with his and Yu Fenglan's children …
Even so, Han Chen still agreed.
Gritting her teeth, she endured the struggle in her heart, for the sake of Zhongli Yanchang.
"I don't agree."
Zhongli Yanchang rejected her without hesitation, her voice trembling.
"I will decide." Han Chen said in a serious tone.
"Are you crazy? I won't allow you to do this to yourself. "
Zhongli Yanchang was equally resolute. If it was in the beginning, her greatest wish would be to reconstruct her sacred body. At that time, she would finish this matter at all costs.
But now, Zhongli Yanchang had discovered that she could not only consider this matter for herself.
She couldn't do it!
She really couldn't do it, she didn't want Han Chen to live in pain and suffering everyday in the future.
The smile on Pu Miling's face became wider and wider, as if she was watching a good show.
At this time, Shen Yu, who had not spoken all this while, suddenly spoke, "Just now, our ancestor said that he wanted Han Chen to propose a condition and then ask him to be willing to call you 'Ancestor'. He didn't say that he wanted Han Chen to join the Spirit Demoness. Therefore, the request that you, ancestor, imposed afterwards was unreasonable. Lord Ancestor, your words are true, could it be that you want to go back on your word? "
When Shen Yu said this, the atmosphere of the hall immediately became strange.
A few of their gazes uniformly swept towards Pu Miling.
Pu Miling was also startled, after a series of 'eyes wide open', she shook her head helplessly, and sighed.
"You little girl with an elbow out."
