"Lin Wunan?!"
Suddenly, Ye Kai furrowed his brows.
Earlier, he hadn't noticed the appearance of 'Notice,' which was actually related to Lin Wunan!
That Nine-Tiered Pagoda had been discovered on him.
This couldn't help but raise some doubts and suspicions in Ye Kai's mind.
He stroked his chin, looking at the slightly anxious yet more composed fellow before him, and couldn't help but recall some things he had heard.
It was said that every world had its own protagonist, and although each protagonist experienced different events after their birth, they all shared a remarkably unified standard.
That was the 'Immortality Law,' 'The Stronger They Are, The Stronger They Become,' and 'Fortune Overflows.' In short, even when faced with seemingly life-and-death challenges, they would turn misfortune into good fortune and emerge from danger safely.
As for Lin Wunan, he came from a prestigious background, but his Sect was destroyed. He ventured alone to join a powerful Sect in the Holy Land, only to encounter danger and face near-death experiences. Yet in the end, not only did he gain benefits, but he also encountered opportunities.
This made Ye Kai suspect whether he also possessed the fate of a 'protagonist'!
"Lin!" Ye Kai spoke softly.
"Junior is here," Lin Wunan replied, his heart trembling as he hurriedly bowed.
"Regardless of whether you are a protagonist or not, come and take your place at my table," Ye Kai thought to himself with a smirk while maintaining an outwardly calm demeanor as he looked at Lin Wunan. He quietly asked, "Since the Life Pearl has already been given to you, use it to recover from your injuries quickly."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wunan felt somewhat embarrassed. He knew that his thoughts had been seen through. Rubbing the back of his head awkwardly with a flushed face, he said, "Well, I think my injuries are already manageable. I just wanted to save it for when I might need it later."
Ye Kai felt quite satisfied with this character trait but maintained a calm smile on the surface. "No worries; it was meant for you to use. Hurry up and heal your injuries so that this Sect can escort you to Great Wilderness Island."
He flipped his palm, revealing a crystal vase about six or seven inches tall. "Next, here are a dozen pills. They can bring the dead back to life; as long as there is still a breath left, taking one will ensure survival."
Lin Wunan's face lit up with surprise as he hurriedly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, senior! If it weren't for you, Wunan would have been doomed this time."
Ye Kai smiled warmly and took out several jade talismans, handing them over. "Take these. Be more cautious in the future; this sect cannot protect you at all times. Once we reach Great Wilderness Island, we will part ways again. If fate allows, we shall meet again."
Just a few pills, but if they could help build some goodwill, that would be even better.
With the debt of saving a life and various pills that seemed impossible to gauge in terms of magical power, along with a large group of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs as subordinates, such a sect and such a master were truly rare finds.
It was known that if Ye Kai were to actively request it, he might immediately take him as a disciple.
However, there was also a chance that it could provoke his aversion.
If he could enhance his favor while making Ye Kai realize that this was an incredibly rare opportunity, then taking the initiative to bow down would be the moment when he truly won his heart.
He had already calculated that the few Life Pearls and pills given to him earlier were nearly depleted, leaving only about two. While these two could help him through some tribulations and injuries, they wouldn't provide immediate results.
Therefore, since he had already become a senior and was regarded as such by many, it wouldn’t hurt to put on a show.
Ye Kai suddenly turned and walked towards Elder Wu Gong and Lin Feng, who had their powers sealed.
"Ye Master, if there is anything you need from me, please feel free to ask," Lin Feng said wisely, knowing when to say what.
"I'm giving you an opportunity—this is your only chance—to pledge allegiance to this sect."
Ye Kai looked at him deeply and spoke in a calm tone. "Remember, there is only one chance."
Lin Wunan was still in a daze, while Gongyang Zhenjun, She Yuanjun, and the newly joined Hu Qianfang were stunned. None of them expected that their esteemed master would seek to recruit Elder Wu Gong.
Is this possible?!
To think that the Wugong is a superpower among the immeasurable forces, and it holds the undeniable top position as a colossal entity. Would members of the elder council from such a force pledge allegiance?
However, in the blink of an eye, they couldn't help but show expressions of bewilderment.
Because they all recalled their own experiences. Were they not once proud and high-spirited, holding sway over their own factions in the Officialdom? Yet now, they had no choice but to compromise!!!
Or perhaps they were no longer merely resigned; they were beginning to slowly shift their roles.
Lin Feng was conflicted.
Don't think that the Primordial Spirit True Monarch is fearless; those who are truly unafraid of death have long since perished.
Originally, while watching from the sidelines, he hoped that the leader of the Star God Sect would spare him for being Elder Wu Gong's subordinate.
But instead of a favorable outcome, he found himself in a perilous situation.
One wrong answer, and he might never see the light of day again.
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said solemnly, “Ye Master, may I offer other conditions or treasures in exchange for my freedom?”
Ye Kai furrowed his brow, his eyes flickering with a ghostly light. After a moment, he spoke, “If you were in my position, would you let a Primordial Spirit True Monarch go free to become your potential enemy?”
“Ye Master, I can swear before my Inner Demon.”
Lin Feng's heart trembled as he quickly replied, “I, Lin Feng, hereby swear by my Inner Demon that wherever there are disciples of the Star God Sect in the future, I will retreat and not dare to oppose them. Should I break this oath, I will fall into madness and suffer eternal damnation.”
“Remember your oath!”
Ye Kai spoke expressionlessly, "Hand over all your treasures, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, do not blame This Sect for being ruthless."
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines, their hearts trembling.
Their esteemed Your Excellency, this senior, was indeed exuding an overwhelming aura!
However, no one stepped forward to dissuade him, nor did anyone speak; they all held their breath in anticipation. They were very curious about what would happen next. Would this Primordial Spirit True Monarch really be willing to give up all his treasures in exchange for his freedom?!
But it was clear that they had underestimated Lin Feng's desire for freedom and his decisiveness.
Without any hesitation, he calmly took out all the storage equipment on him. Aside from the Fated Artifact, he laid everything else out for all to see.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"Remember, you have never encountered This Sect. You were merely involved in a battle with Hu Qianfang, which affected a hidden powerhouse. Do you understand?" Ye Kai said softly, looking out at the Sea Surface with his hands behind his back.
"I understand," Lin Feng replied with a carefree smile. "Does Master Ye have any further instructions? If not, I shall take my leave. After wandering around for a bit, I suddenly feel that my realm is loosening and I might be on the verge of a breakthrough. It would be better to enter seclusion and cultivate!"
