Chapter 1469: Only Wish
“Please rise, senior.” Danxia Zi seemed sincere in both speech and body language. Ye Qing narrowed his eyes briefly before letting out a chuckle and making a supporting gesture with his hands. “I accept your apology, but there is no need for compensation.”
“I’m aware that you lost yourself to impatience simply because you are worried for the people of the Profound Alliance and the fate of humanity. I must admit that I have not been on my best behavior either. I hope you can forgive me for my impudence.”
Dan Xiazi was already apologizing, so there was no need to keep up the domineering act any longer. After all, all things were bad in excess. This was the moment where he should offer Danxia Zi an out rather than push his buttons further and incur his resentment.
“I am the one who was at fault. Your reaction is only understandable. You do not need to apologize to me.”
Danxia Zi did not get up, however. He maintained his posture and said seriously, “Besides that, we already agreed beforehand that there will be an apology and a compensation. You have already accepted the apology, so I insist that you accept the compensation as well!”
“Senior, there really is no need...” Ye Qing couldn’t help but lift his eyebrows a little. Just why was he so stubborn?
Seeing this, Old Man Profound Firmament explained in a joking tone, “Just accept it, young friend. Danxia is an old fossil whose neck simply cannot turn any other way once he’s fixed his mind on a path. If you don’t accept his compensation now, he’s going to beleaguer you for the rest of your life. Trust me, you don’t want that.”
Ye Qing chuckled and clasped his fists in salute. “In that case, I shall happily accept the offer. That said, I do not have any request right now. I will be sure to notify you if I think of something in the future. I hope you won’t turn me down then.”
“Very good.” It was only now Danxia Zi finally rose back to full height and declared seriously, “As long as your request does not go against morals and etiquette or fuel maleficence and evil, then I will do everything in my power to see it done.”
“I will thank you in advance then,” Ye Qing said. “Oh right. If you don’t mind, then please call me Joyless. I prefer it to pompous-sounding titles like hero.”
“Very well. I will address you as young friend like Elder Profound.” Danxia Zi nodded. “You should not address me as senior either. Just call me Danxia or Dao Friend.”
“In that case, I think I’ll go with Reverend.”
