Chapter 1422: Jin Wanliang’s Sincerity
“Haha... you have a lot of confidence in us, don’t you?”
Ye Qing chuckled. He wasn’t surprised that Jin Wanliang found out about these details. He would not dare to seek them out if he wasn’t at least that competent.
“Alright. Even if you are right, and the two fakes are no match for us, what makes you think that we are not interested in the wealth of Gold Island? Aren’t you afraid that you are leading a wolf into your house?”
“This junior is not afraid. This junior believes in your character and integrity.”
Jin Wanliang began lavishing praises on them. “Neither of you knew Fairy Hongluan until recently, and yet you are willing to help Floating Island during its time of crisis. You did not seek to improve your fame or glory, nor did you ask for anything in return. You are both true seniors whose compassion can encompass the entire world, and nobility outshines the sun itself...”
“Cut it out and tell us what you really think,” Ye Qing interrupted him with a wave. He would be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy Wan Jinliang’s flattery, but it was embarrassing to an extent, not to mention that Qingyou was right beside him. He wasn’t that shameless.
Of course, he did not think that Jin Wanliang had sought them out only because of what he said, not to mention divulging the entire truth of Gold Island before they even agreed to help him.
Sometimes, there was nothing more fickle and unreliable than the human heart.
“This junior swears that everything he said is the truth. May the heavens strike me down if I have spouted falsehoods.”
Jin Wanliang swore an oath twice but received nothing but a meaningful look from Ye Qing. So, he added, “Besides that, I know that the two of you do not hail from these lands. You do not share any interest or ties with the Profound Alliance, so I can trust you not to act like them.”
“Besides that, I have good reason to believe that you won’t be staying here for long. Even if you were greedy, you would not occupy Gold Island, the root of the Jin Clan. So long as we still own Gold Island, it doesn’t matter even if we lose everything. We can simply start over.”
This was the true reason he dared to seek them out.
