Chapter 498: Tricky Situation (II)
Time passed slowly. After finishing an entire Grandmaster realm ferocious beast, Lin Zheyu took out another one at peak Grandmaster realm from his storage pouch and continued grilling. If Martial Innate realm beasts were not so hard to find, he would have caught some to keep for leisurely meals.Fan Hongwei fell silent. Seeing Lin Zheyu take out yet another beast, he felt somewhat speechless. He had been waiting for Lin Zheyu to speak first, but the young man proved far more patient than expected.
"Ahem... Have you considered my previous invitation, little friend? Help me with a small task, and I will reward you generously," Fan Hongwei said with a smile. If he did not bring it up himself, he felt Lin Zheyu might just keep grilling forever.
"Sorry, I have matters to attend to. I don't think I will be able to help. There are countless strong individuals in the world. Even martial artists stronger than me can be found in abundance within the Martial Alliance. So why me?" Lin Zheyu asked plainly, no longer holding back.
Fan Hongwei stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Of course, there is a reason. Very few martial artists can detect where I am hiding. That alone is enough to make me regard you highly. That place requires not only a powerful physique to break through, but also perception far beyond that of ordinary people. Cultivators who meet both conditions are extremely rare, whether in the immortal cultivation world or the Martial Alliance."
From their first meeting until now, the man had always appeared gentle, exuding an immortal bearing. Yet Lin Zheyu's instincts told him something was off. A faint sense of danger lingered in his heart. When it came to such instincts, he would rather trust them than ignore them.
He shook his head and said firmly, "I am cautious by nature and do not like taking risks. Sorry, I fear I must disappoint you."
"Oh? Interesting. Do you know the consequences of refusing me?" The old man looked at Lin Zheyu with interest, a dangerous aura flickering in his gaze, making Lin Zheyu's brows twitch uncontrollably.
Danger!
With just a single glance, the old man gave Lin Zheyu an overwhelming sense of threat.
Lin Zheyu took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart as he said, "Of course, there are always exceptions. Senior, since it's your invitation, I will go through any hardship without hesitation."
In the end, Lin Zheyu yielded.
