Chapter 3362 — Negotiating Terms

"It seems Mr. Lin knows these two!" A flash of shame crossed Thor Ri Yue's face. "Indeed. They promised to give our Pao'li clan a top-grade fourth-rank Great Return Pill, and in return our Pao'li clan would lend them a hand against an enemy! And Mr. Lin has surely seen it for himself—my meridians are wholly ruined, and only a top-grade fourth-rank Great Return Pill can heal my injuries. So we agreed to the request. I only never imagined that Mr. Lin was also of the Five Luminaries Sect—"
"Ah?" Yu Dake had not expected Wei Zhao to be one of the Five Luminaries Sect as well. If so, were those two foes not Wei Zhao's fellow disciples? Could Wei Zhao still avenge him? Wait—if they were fellow disciples, why would those men move against Wei Zhao?
"So that is how it is." Wei Zhao nodded. "Then the purpose of the old clan chief's visit is—"
"Mr. Lin, let us speak plainly, without riddles. I have learned a thing or two of your deeds. If I am not mistaken, you should have a top-grade fourth-rank Great Return Pill in your possession—and more than one, no?" Thor Ri Yue asked tentatively.
"And then?" Wei Zhao neither confirmed nor denied; he merely asked in return.
"If Mr. Lin could provide us with one or two, I believe the Pao'li clan would be endlessly grateful to Mr. Lin," Thor Ri Yue said.
"You mean to heal both your injuries and your son's, is that it?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Yes, precisely. What does Mr. Lin think?" Thor Ri Yue nodded and asked.
"You think that after your son treated me as he did and locked me in the dungeon, I would turn around and save him—do you take me for a fool?" Wei Zhao smiled and countered.
"Of course—this is a transaction. Mr. Lin may state his terms. Earlier, my son Thor Tu also said that Mr. Lin came to our Pao'li clan to discuss business," Thor Ri Yue hastily added.
"Good. First, help me kill He Yi." Wei Zhao did not demand that the Pao'li clan kill Kang Jingming, because Kang Jingming still owed him a Qi-Gathering Pill—and with his strength, killing Kang Jingming was a matter of moments for Wei Zhao; there was no need for the Pao'li clan to act on his behalf.
He Yi, however, was a grave menace. Wei Zhao did not yet have absolute confidence that he could kill him in an instant, and if it went wrong and he was slain instead, the loss would far outweigh the gain. So the more enemies dead, the better.
"This—" Thor Ri Yue hesitated a moment, then said, "If Mr. Lin truly can provide me with a top-grade fourth-rank Great Return Pill, I can satisfy Mr. Lin's request."
"A top-grade fourth-rank Great Return Pill? Kang Jingming can give you one? Has he given you one?" Wei Zhao did not answer; instead he looked at Thor Ri Yue with a half-smile. (To be continued)
