Although on the surface, the Patriarch’s expression changed ever so slightly, the Hua Clan paid close attention and naturally saw his relief.
“We can’t blame you for the matter of Wei Xing. This was his own choice and we respect it.” Patriarch Wei said sadly, “Since he has accepted your reward, he is naturally responsible for your safety. So you don’t have to blame yourselves.”
“No matter what, the Wei Clan lost a strong exponent and we feel very sorry for your loss.” The Great Elder said, “We have brought something over to apologize.”
“Great Elder, you are too polite.”
“I know that your Young Master has been looking for an Advancement Pill recently. It just so happens that we have one…”
When Patriarch Wei heard the words ‘Advancement Pill’, his eyes lit up, and he said as he suppressed his excitement and asked, “Is it really an Advancement Pill?”
The Great Elder took out a box and presented it to Patriarch Wei. When he opened the box and saw the dark pill lying inside, he put on an expression of disbelief and shook his head: “It’s really an Advancement Pill! How can we take this?”
“Patriarch Wei, you need this more than we do now, please take it.” The Great Elder said.
“If that’s the case, then I won’t reject your kind offer. My family’s Lin’er is indeed at a critical juncture now. With this Advancement Pill, after advancing, he will personally come to the door to thank you.” The Patriarch put the pill away and said gratefully.
What a worthwhile exchange! He exchanged an Advancement Pill for a Wei Xing who did not support him very much in the clan. Heh, this Wei Xing’s death could also be considered worthy.
He was full of thoughts, but he didn’t show it on his face. HIn stark comparison to his thoughts, people only thought that he was grieving for his fallen nephew. After some consideration, he probed: “Since Wei Xing fell to the guardian beast, did you manage to find the Snow Fungus?”
When he said this, the eyes of the Great Elder turned red.
“Why, Old Hua, he…”
“The situation of the Patriarch is already very bad. Even if I send someone now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold them back.” The Great Elder said in a sad tone, both sad and desperate. “Patriarch Wei, I hope you can keep this secret for us. If you let the Zheng Clan know, I’m afraid…”
“I understand.” Patriarch Wei said sadly, “I didn’t expect his condition to be so serious this time. Alas, our two families are also family friends. If you have any needs, you can come to us. If we can help with anything, do let us know.”
The eyes of the Great Elder suddenly brightened a lot, as if he was just waiting for his words. He bowed to the Patriarch and said: “With the words of the Patriarch, we are much more relieved. If we need it in the future, please ask the Wei Clan to help us through the difficulties.”
Everyone present understands that this difficulty referred to the Zheng Clan.
“Alright, you can send someone to notify us at that time!” Patriarch Wei promised.
“Thank you, Patriarch Wei!” The Great Elder brought the Hua Clan to salute, and then left the Wei Clan.
After they left, Wei Lin, the Young Master of the Wei Clan, walked in.
“Grandfather, do we really want to extend a helping hand to the Hua Clan?” Wei Lin asked.
“How is it possible?” The Patriarch sneered. “The Hua Clan is already at the end of the battle. In this struggle, it is impossible to survive. Besides, the Zheng Clan has promised us that as long as we don’t interfere, we will be divided one-third of the assets of the Hua Clan.”
“Then why are you agreeing with them? They killed Wei Xing, not to mention, they still have the face to come to us for help. Their cheeks are a little too thick! Why didn’t Hua Yu die outside!” Wei Lin bitterly said.
