Chapter 913: Looking at Blades
Although Qi Xuansu had Flying White Shadow, it was merely a treasure, practically ineffective against enemies of higher cultivation levels. Seeing how well-equipped Li Changge and Yao Pei were, Qi Xuansu could not help but feel a touch of envy. Thus, he still urgently needed a semi-immortal object.
Qi Xuansu did not rush straight to Tianji Hall’s temporary branch. Instead, he first took out his Intermediate License to contact Zhang Yuelu.
At that moment, Zhang Yuelu was still with Spirit Guard Ding Wei’s army and had not yet returned to the Xiujing field camp.
Once the communication link was established, Qi Xuansu explained his idea to exchange his share of merit for the total ownership rights of Solar Heaven.
Zhang Yuelu did not refuse, nor did she reject the merit he offered.
Firstly, the two of them had not yet become Daoist companions, and neither acted purely on their own behalf. Qi Xuansu had Madam Qi behind him, while Zhang Yuelu had the Zhang family. While the two of them might not distinguish between each other, their factions certainly would. So it was still better to settle accounts clearly.
Secondly, their relationship had always been based on genuine equality. Many people only demanded equality when benefits were at stake, but when it came to yielding interests, they suddenly claimed weakness and demanded protection. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were not like that. Qi Xuansu would never take advantage of Zhang Yuelu just because she had suddenly risen in fortune.
So, the matter was settled. Qi Xuansu quickly seized the opportunity to chat idly with Zhang Yuelu. Their conversation was private, not for outsiders’ ears.
After ending his talk with Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu took the two semi-immortal objects from Fenglin and went to Tianji Hall’s temporary branch.
The so-called Tianji Hall branch was a special institution. Rank-wise, it was akin to a local branch and subject to dual leadership. The first chain of command was Tianji Hall’s vertical leadership, and the second was the leadership of the local Daoist mansion.
For this position, both the Nine Halls and the local Daoist mansion shared personnel authority equally.
One might ask, if the orders of the two superiors conflicted, whom should one obey?
