C402 Only Wine and Tears will be Left
Humang Mountain looked at Hu Qi and said with a helpless expression.
Hu Qi was silent for a while, but soon, he revealed a kind smile.
"Opportunities will come sooner or later. What should come will come sooner or later. Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, so what if I can't break through to the Ninth-grade Stage in my life? I still have a powerful younger brother to protect me. "
After saying this, Hu Qi patted the shoulder of Humang Mountain and laughed loudly.
Humang Mountain laughed along with him, but that smile soon disappeared.
"Brother, opportunities are grasped by people. The tree that breaks through to the next realm only bears fruit once every three hundred years. The old ancestor even personally gave out a mission this time. Who would lead the team to the treasure chamber deep inside the tomb and take out the treasure? Whoever breaks through the tree will have the fruit. Not only that, but also the fruit. They could also take out ten percent of the treasure from the tomb as their private property. Such a good job was once in a lifetime. You have to be sure!"
As Humang Mountain spoke, he began to feel anxious for Hu Qi.
"But what's the use of me breaking through to the Ninth-grade Stage? My cultivation base has already reached the ceiling. Even if I really break through to the Ninth-grade Stage, your strength is definitely not comparable to an ordinary Ninth-grade Stage. Instead of wasting this broken mirror fruit on me, you might as well give it to the elders who really want it. Let them become stronger and help the Black Tiger Sect grow stronger."
Speaking of this, Hu Qi paused for a moment and continued.
"You have wasted enough resources on me all these years. I will keep your good intentions in my heart, but this time, I really can't take it anymore."
Hu Qi had already thoroughly rejected it. If it were someone else... After hearing Hu Qi's words, he would definitely not continue to pester him. However, the Humang Mountain was different. He had already decided on something. Not even ten bulls could pull him back. Unless he achieved his goal, this matter would not end.
"Brother, count it as me begging you."
"Brother, just this one time, one last time."
"Brother, just listen to me one more time."
...
Finally, under the constant pestering from the Humang Mountain, Hu Qi had no choice but to accept the request of the Humang Mountain. However, just in case, something like this would happen again in the future. Therefore, before he agreed to the request of the Humang Mountain, he had set a rule with Humang Mountain.
After this, no matter what, Humang Mountain was not allowed to give him the resources of the sect, and they were also not allowed to give him benefits for no reason. Otherwise, he would not have a brother like Humang Mountain.
When the Humang Mountain saw Hu Qi agree, they did not think much about it and quickly agreed. There was a trace of a smile on their faces, as if a child had finally gotten the lollipop that they had been begging for a long time.
However, the Humang Mountain at that time might never have thought that after this farewell, they would be separated by the heavens and never see each other again.
Hu Qi stood beside the entrance of the tomb with the Black Tiger Sect team, full of confidence. The Humang Mountain walked forward and parted ways with Hu Qi. They agreed to have a drink and celebrate with each other after they came out of the tomb.
But now, the wine in Humang Mountain was ready, but the person who should have come to drink with him was nowhere to be seen.
They looked for jade cups and wine to drink. Unfortunately, there was no longer a monarch at the table, and only the fine wine was left to drink his tears.
Many times when Humang Mountain recalled this matter, they couldn't help but ask in their hearts.
If they hadn't done that back then, perhaps none of this would have happened. Even if Hu Qi's cultivation base was still at the Eighth-grade Stage, at least they could still drink together.
