Chapter 450 - 446
"You? A turning point?"
Lan Yuhua looked at Gu Jinlai, frowning slightly, seemingly puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Gu Jinlai did not answer directly, but said, "I have learned about the ways you and Lan Yuxian compete: one follows the Demon Slayer path, accumulating Contribution Value by slaying Devils, while the other captures Out-of-Control and Demonic Cultists. Whoever ultimately achieves the higher Contribution Value will be the winner of the Taiao Cave Heaven cultivation spot."
As he spoke, he added, "In this competition, both parties can use their own abilities, call upon favors, or hire anyone willing to accept your invitation to help you slay Devils or hunt Out-of-Control. Just like Lan Yuxian somehow obtained Wu Tianya’s favor to become the captain of the Sweeper Team, and you..."
He glanced in the direction from which Lan Yuhua’s recent companions had departed, "A Peak Martial King, and a Top Martial King... neither of these people is from your Lan Family, are they?"
"Indeed, they are not."
Lan Yuhua nodded, slightly guessing what was coming next, "You wouldn’t be suggesting that you’re willing to accept my hire, to help me slay Devils and thus overcome Lan Yuxian’s Contribution Value, would you?"
"Why wouldn’t I, if the price is right?"
Gu Jinlai said with a light smile, "You should know, before I perfected the Thunder Sword Divine Skill, Lan Yuxian... was very arrogant. Today’s pursuit in Lei Jie was my duty, and I had to make a move, yet in the end, she became the biggest winner among your Lan Family’s competitors for the Taiao Cave Heaven cultivation spot... which is somewhat upsetting to me. So, for the sake of venting, I am completely motivated to proactively help you, am I not?"
Lan Yuhua’s eyes lit up at Gu Jinlai’s words.
