Chapter 566: Chapter 514: You Shouldn’t Take it for Granted
Therefore, Daoist Xuanming dared not directly seek and probe the other party himself. He could only hope that Bai Xiaosheng would ask on his behalf, which would give him some room for flexibility.
“I understand your meaning.” Bai Xiaosheng nodded, understanding what the other party meant and agreeing to it: “I can ask for you, but I can’t guarantee whether the answer will meet your expectations. I also won’t argue excessively with Brother Pei about this.”
Bai Xiaosheng agreed to his request and also expressed his thoughts.
He still had a lot of collaboration with Pei Xuanjing, so although he agreed to ask on behalf of the other party, he would not strive for anything and absolutely could not let this matter affect his own affairs.
“Please rest assured. Regardless of the circumstances, I dare not have even a bit of complaint.” A smile appeared on Daoist Xuanming’s face as he said, “I will naturally present you with a gift of gratitude afterwards.”
Bai Xiaosheng’s willingness to help him probe for this answer was enough to satisfy him completely; naturally, he wouldn’t expect Bai Xiaosheng to argue with Pei Xuanjing on his behalf.
“It really is lonely at the top!” Pei Xuanjing sighed, his expression somewhat solemn.
He remembered the time when he and Daoist Xuanming first met, the high-spirited discussions, martial arts debates, and casual discussions about the world. What free and relaxed days they were, he almost missed them.
Yet now, only several decades have passed, and just because the strength of both sides had changed, the other party had already altered their attitude, no longer daring to treat him as an equal.
