Chapter 736
"Think it over carefully. This is my most sincere advice."
The Old Locust Tree shifted the conversation back to the transaction.
Yang Fan’s gaze remained indifferent as he looked at the abstract face. "Your terms hold no allure for me."
"That ruler in your hand is indeed a fine thing." The Old Locust Tree’s focus lingered briefly on the ruler in Yang Fan’s hand before sneering, "But comparing something that proactively defends itself to something that requires its owner to actively wield it—is there even a contest? With my Locust Leaves, you can be invulnerable to all evils."
"But the ruler in your hand cannot do that. You must use it. Only then can it serve its purpose."
Yang Fan pondered for a moment and then said, "To be honest, I’m somewhat intrigued by your item. How about this: change your terms. Killing my master is something I simply cannot do."
"Young human boy, don’t overestimate yourself. What else can you possibly do for me besides this?" the Old Locust Tree mocked. "To me, your only value lies in completing this task."
"I’ve been keeping you company for so long, and you’re not even considering compensating me? You useless, rotten tree." Yang Fan suddenly snarled, "I’ve alleviated your loneliness, brought some light into your dreary existence, and yet you not only refuse to pay me, but mock me instead? You trash."
Yang Fan didn’t hesitate, launching straight into verbal assault.
On a moral level, he mercilessly cursed the ancestors of the Old Locust Tree.
The abstract face on the Old Locust Tree radiated heavy ridicule as it gazed at Yang Fan. "You humans never fail to display your grotesque hypocrisy. My transaction is fair and equal, yet you aim to take advantage without effort."
