Chapter 558: 506
Xue Renfang left Pei Xuanjing’s Taoist Academy quietly, just as he had arrived. Aside from a few people, no one knew that a powerful being, at the seventh level of the Spirit Realm, had ever come to the academy.
However, unlike the confidence Xue Renfang had before his arrival, he still felt somewhat troubled when he left, despite achieving his goal.
He was clear that the contract he had signed with Pei Xuanjing not long ago was a bit of a gamble. He bet that Pei Xuanjing, as he understood him, was not the kind to resort to schemes, and that he would nullify the contract according to their agreement on its expiration.
Otherwise, Pei Xuanjing could easily switch things up. For instance, they agreed that the contract would end after the restoration of Heaven and Earth, when the strong forces of the Sky Wasteland return and the contract becomes void.
But if Pei Xuanjing really wants to alter the concept, he could circulate parts of the contract beforehand, and let the news of his signature go public, leaving Xue Renfang in a difficult position.
…
Inside the Taoist Academy, Pei Xuanjing fiddled with a snow-white object similar to a ceremonial tablet in his hand. Made by infusing the power of incense fire and ancient jade, it bore the terms of the contract he proposed with Xue Renfang, crafted using the same techniques as his Sanbao Jade Ruyi.
Of course, compared with Pei Xuanjing’s Sanbao Jade Ruyi, this white object wasn’t comparable. But perhaps one day, when Pei Xuanjing would have all the strongmen under his control, signing contracts acknowledging him, and worshipping this object with incense fire’s infinite power, it might have its incredible value.
However, at present, the symbolic significance of this object was definitely greater than its practical meaning.
