Chapter 814: If CEO Chu Had Made This Decision, There Had To Be A Good Reason (I)
Everyone was puzzled as to why Thunderbolt Stronghold voted for the Talismanic Sect.
News of the events at the Assembly of the Divine Nine and Terrestrial Ten spread like wildfire, leaving the members of the immortal sects bewildered. The Thunderbolt Stronghold had been under the protection of the Penglai Supreme Sect ever since their crushing defeat at the hands of the Celestial King Sect. Why, then, had they suddenly switched allegiances?
It wasn’t until Chu Liang arrived at Boundless Palace that he finally learned the truth behind it.
"You’ve been running around outside these past few days, so I didn’t get the chance to tell you," Venerable Wen Yuan said with a chuckle. "But this is all thanks to you. Do you remember Du Wuhen, the one you brought here?"
"Ah…" Chu Liang suddenly recalled.
Some time ago, he had settled Du Wuhen and Grand Ancestor Fuyou in the quarrying archipelago. He had arranged for people to help with mining while keeping close contact, even sharing a few meals together.
During one such meal together, they spoke of their greatest regrets.
Chu Liang said his biggest regret was founding Red Cotton Peak. He had no interest in spirit-stone coins, yet he was forced to work for them every day.
Lin Bei said his greatest regret was not fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a carefree yet tired brothel owner.
He had always believed that his cultivation talent would never allow him to remain on Mount Shu. Who would have thought that, by accident, he had become one of the Four Overlords of Mount Shu? Now, it seemed impossible for him to ever "graduate" from the sect.
Oldie Brodie's greatest regret, of course, was his past lack of "politeness," which had led him to make countless mistakes.
