Chapter 142: I Didn’t Ask To Be Rewarded So Well!
"Now come closer and let me check what kind of seal has been imprinted on your foundation tower. We cannot leave such a huge risk unexamined," Xuan Zi said with a relaxed expression, beckoning Han Xuhan forward.
Han Xuhan felt a smirk forcing its way onto his face. It was quite hard to keep the feeling of victory down when the hook he had thrown out got him to his target so smoothly. This was a rare occurrence, considering his past experiences in this world.
He had experienced first-hand how much of a greedy money-grabber the authorities of the sect were. If he had kept the information of the enslavement seal a secret and tried to remove it through other means, it would have definitely cost him a small fortune!
On the other hand, downplaying the threat the seal posed would bring him no benefits at all. There was a chance that the seal might not be removable and the sect might try something brutal to cut off such a threat.
But it would be the best decision to come clean and confess, pleading his innocence instead of ending up getting caught red-handed in case the seal resulted in something troublesome.
Who knew how insidious the usage of such a seal could be? If the holy child Zhao Weiqing managed to find a way to remotely control his mind too through the Seal, it’d spell the end for Han Xuhan. Getting it examined as fast as possible was the best course of action for now.
But this was not even the biggest perk his current plan offered. It was the fact that over-exaggerating the threat of the seal had made the sect take the challenge of removing the seal seriously, as if they were dealing with a bigger issue than just Han Xuhan’s personal safety!
Would the sect originally care so much for the trashiest outer court disciple, to the point where the sect master himself would take the responsibility of removing a semi-dangerous seal from his foundation tower?
Of course not!
