Chapter 557: Chapter 505: The Rejection of Heaven and Earth
Despite Xue Renfang’s firm refusal, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t upset nor angry; he remained as calm as he was before. He simply stated, “What if the contract isn’t forever, but with a time limit, which expires when the forces of the Sky Wasteland return? By that time, the contract will automatically disappear.”
“Um?” Xue Renfang’s expression changed slightly, his refusal was not as firm as before.
He could naturally understand the implication behind Pei Xuanjing’s offer, which was simply a tactic to delay the issue. Yet, for Xue Renfang, it somehow weakened his resistance and aversion to the plan.
Although he initially rejected the proposal firmly, he somewhat drove his concerns away. Should he refuse and Pei Xuanjing take offense, or disagree with his subsequent actions, what should he do?
Considering Pei Xuanjing’s current invincible status at the Ancestral Land, he set the trend. If he really intended to trouble Xue Renfang, his future actions wouldn’t go as smoothly. This was something that Xue Renfang definitely didn’t want to see.
However, the matter itself was too significant. Even though Xue Renfang held a respectable position in the Da Xue ancient country, he couldn’t, or rather, didn’t dare to agree easily.
Yet now, Pei Xuanjing conceded and proposed a timeline to the contract, which didn’t seem as demanding anymore.
After all, once Heaven and Earth fully revive and the powerful forces from the Sky Wasteland all return, his contract would already be invalidated. Even if they became aware of it, it wouldn’t become an issue.
Seeing Xue Renfang slightly moved by his proposal, Pei Xuanjing said, “As long as you sign this contract, I will treat everyone equally in the subsequent matters as long as it doesn’t interfere with my affairs. You can do as you please.”
