Chapter 688 See the Rod, Know the Man? (2/2)
While thinking about it, he heard the voice of Four Element Supreme coming in again, ”In my opinion, if Supreme w.a.n.g Lu is willing to dispense with your own sect and generations, there would be many good choices among the elder cultivators.”
w.a.n.g Lu shook his head again and again. ”I have no interest in mature women.”
”Is that so? That's a pity then. Actually, my eight daughters are actually not bad. They are only over three hundred years old this year, and their cultivation base has reached Yuanying Stage.”
”... No need.”
”Well, I also thought that they're a bit worse. Although my daughters' cultivation is good, they are quite inferior if compared with you. By the way, how is your Master? Her cultivation base and temperament are a perfect match for you.”
”That's enough, I will seriously consider the matter of reproduction, but this time, I come to meet with Supreme not to discuss reproduction.”
Four Element Supreme nodded, showing that his desire to express his thoughts had been greatly satisfied. It was now time to listen to w.a.n.g Lu's words.
”First of all… let's talk about Luo Xiao. Why does Supreme favor Luo Xiao alone? He is an individual cultivator not of the n.o.ble bloodline. You couldn't possibly change your general impressions of him just because of his attainment in chess in which he previously helped you defeat the Black and White Ancestor, right?”
Four Element Supreme laughed and said, ”Of course not. Why would I care about a trivial chess skill? I'm interested in his inheritance reproduction ability… Maybe he is not as good as you, but he definitely could live up to the five words 'live well with big tool'. Before judging your attributes, I have always regarded him as the cultivation focus among the next generations of cultivators.”
”... Are you judging the cultivation focus by reproductive ability?”
Four Element Supreme earnestly said, ”That's very important.”
”Besides that, is there no other reason?”
”Certainly. I don't know what prejudice you have against Luo Xiao, but in my opinion, he is one of the rare genius cultivators in the world. Although it is difficult to reach your present achievements, don't forget that you are from Spirit Sword Sect, one of the top five sects in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, while he is only from a mediocre sect. The starting points of the two of you are too different.”
”Rare genius?” w.a.n.g Lu chewed on the wording of Four Element Supreme, but the restlessness in his heart actually became deeper. ”Supreme has been in contact with him for a long time. In your opinion, is this person reliable?”
Upon hearing this, Four Element Supreme frowned. ”Does Supreme w.a.n.g Lu suspect that he has a problem?”
”Far from it, that is why I have to seek advice from Supreme. If there's any doubt, I wouldn't have waited until now.”
After a moment of thinking, Four Element Supreme said, ”No one is absolutely reliable, including you. Once you encounter enough temptation, you will eventually give in.”
w.a.n.g Lu replied, ”I don't deny this, but different people have different price. For me to betray, I'm afraid no one could offer me such a high price.”
”Luo Xiao is also a not-so-easy-to-buy person. Although he is of ordinary origin and looks friendly and humble, he has extraordinary pride in his heart and will not tolerate being bought out by others. In a sense, he has a lot of similarities with you.”
With that, Four Element Supreme looked down and gently nodded. ”Yes, there are indeed similarities.”
”I think…”
Before w.a.n.g Lu could utter his refutation, Four Element Supreme said, ”Easy there. If you were him, a rising star from Huayan School who wanted to s.h.i.+ne on the stage of this Grand Compet.i.tion, but unexpectedly the planner of the whole thing found you not pleasing to his eyes, what would you do?”
w.a.n.g Lu knitted his brows and did not reply.
Four Element Supreme continued, ”If I were you, I would give him a fair stage. According to your temperament, you should not be afraid of such a challenge.”
w.a.n.g Lu remained silent as he thought whether there was any real problem with his treatment of Luo Xiao.
According to Four Element Supreme, Luo Xiao was only a genius with a strong desire to prove himself and was eager to gain something from the Grand Compet.i.tion. If that was the case, then, instead of suppressing him, he ought to give him a stage to prove himself and make full use of his talent.
w.a.n.g Lu didn't think that his judgment could be better than that of Four Element Supreme. Although Four Element Supreme was a pervert, he was undoubtedly the best in all things perverted. During his one thousand and five hundred years of cultivation, he should not misjudge a person's standpoint.
After thinking of this, he heard Four Element Supreme say, ”The matter regarding Supreme w.a.n.g Lu's hate toward Luo Xiao, many people have already known it. I think if Supreme w.a.n.g Lu could show your magnanimity on Luo Xiao's problem, then those few who still disagree with Supreme w.a.n.g Lu would have no words to say anymore.”
w.a.n.g Lu snorted. ”Is this the condition for cooperation proposed by Supreme?”
Four Element Supreme was silent.
”Very well, I agree. If I can get the support from Supreme, what of mere Luo Xiao? From now on, I would not stop him anymore, just tell him to partic.i.p.ate freely on the stage of Grand Compet.i.tion.”
