"Are you saying you want to return that strand of Dao Fire to me?"
Wei Cheng looked at Jiuye with surprise, indeed, the fellow's ambition was quite grand.
"Yes, I ask for Lord Wei's forgiveness, and I am grateful for your help back then. This strand of Dao Fire is offered as my gesture of thanks."
Jiuye's attitude was sincere—he didn't believe that Wei Cheng would refuse the Dao Fire offered back for free.
Wei Cheng began to smile,
"So, have you pledged your loyalty to that Celestial Patrol Immortal?"
"Yes."
Jiuye honestly replied, knowing that such matters were easily guessed.
"That Celestial Patrol Immortal has high standards; you can't even catch her eye yet. So did you take the Ten Thousand Grade Elixir as a foot in the door?"
"Yes."
"And do you also wish to go and hunt the wild Forbidden Immortal Fruit using the method I taught you, preferably by getting that Celestial Patrol Immortal involved, to further increase her favor towards you?"
