Chapter 282: Request

Chapter 282: Request

When showing respect to others, there is usually a request to be made. Flying Swan Sect must have a significant demand to offer such generous gifts, and undoubtedly, Meng Zhang needs to pay a considerable price in return.

Indeed, Meng Zhang covets the items listed on that list, as many of them are rare spiritual treasures he has long yearned for. However, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and he fears that Flying Swan Sect might ask for a price he cannot bear.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Meng Zhang hesitated, remaining silent for quite some time. His purpose in coming to Flying Swan Sect was merely to establish a connection and secure a retreat route for Taiyi Sect. He didn't want to tie himself to Flying Swan Sect's chariot so early on.

"Sect Master Meng, are you unsatisfied with the items on the list? If that's the case, I can go and request the Gold Core Daoist Masters in the sect to offer items from their personal collections," Fei Hongzi said in a magnanimous manner.

"Senior, please state your request directly. If it is within my capabilities, I will undoubtedly accept it without hesitation. If it is beyond my abilities, then I apologize for my incompetence," replied Meng Zhang with a bitter smile, abandoning any thoughts of trying to deceive Fei Hongzi.

As for the idea of reaping benefits first and then turning his back on the deal, Meng Zhang had long dispelled such thoughts. If he were to truly anger Flying Swan Sect, they might not be able to harm Forest Spring Watch directly, but they had plenty of ways to deal with Taiyi Sect.

Fei Hongzi spent so many words, waiting for Meng Zhang to say these words. No longer beating around the bush, Fei Hongzi straightforwardly stated his demand.

"My request is simple: Taiyi Sect must proactively attack Forest Spring Watch and strive to completely exterminate them."

As soon as Fei Hongzi finished speaking, Meng Zhang began shaking his head continuously. This was absurd! Taiyi Sect, a mere Foundation Building sect, attacking Forest Spring Watch, a Gold Core sect, and trying to completely wipe them out? Fei Hongzi was asking too much; this was an impossible task.

"Sect Master Meng, please don't rush to refuse. Our sect won't let Taiyi Sect go to its demise without a plan. We propose this request because we firmly believe that Sect Master Meng can accomplish it," Fei Hongzi comforted in a gentle tone.

Despite Fei Hongzi's sincerity, Meng Zhang is still not willing to take sides so quickly and is especially reluctant to engage in battles with Forest Spring Watch.

"I do not doubt Senior's intentions, but this matter is of great importance, and I cannot make a decision on my own. I need to return and discuss it with the elders of my sect," Meng Zhang says, trying to find a way to leave the troublesome situation.

Fei Hongzi seems to have not seen through Meng Zhang's intentions and responds in an agreeable tone, "Indeed, such important matters require careful consideration and listening to the opinions of the elders. I won't force you, Sect Master Meng. Take your time to discuss it, and when you have a decision, you can inform me."

"As for this list, feel free to keep it. If you find anything you like, just let us know, and someone will deliver it to you," Fei Hongzi says generously.

"Alright then, there are still many matters in our sect to attend to. It was a fruitful meeting with Sect Master Meng today. Let's conclude our discussion here, and I'll take my leave first."

"Sect Master Meng, you can stay here as our guest or explore Flying Swan City. All expenses in Flying Swan City will be on our sect's account. Of course, if you decide to return, no one will stop you," Fei Hongzi's attitude is surprisingly accommodating, almost too good to be believed.

Despite Fei Hongzi's seemingly benevolent demeanor, Meng Zhang cannot help but suspect that there might be hidden schemes or plots. However, after Fei Hongzi bids farewell and Lao Jian accompanies Meng Zhang without interference, none of the expected conspiracies occur. Fei Hongzi proves to be as accommodating as he seemed, which surprises Meng Zhang.

Flying Swan Sect has ruled the Endless Sea of Sand for many years, and their success has not come from being softhearted. As the Sect Master of Flying Swan Sect, Fei Hongzi is undoubtedly not a benevolent person. Meng Zhang is convinced that Fei Hongzi must have some ulterior motive waiting for him, but he cannot discern it at the moment.

Meng Zhang regrets his impulsive decision to come to Flying Swan Sect. He had only intended to make contact and understand Flying Swan Sect's stance to keep a retreat for Taiyi Sect. Unexpectedly, he encountered Flying Swan Sect's Sect Master Fei Hongzi and became entangled in an unforeseen situation.
