Hearing Jiang Wang's "reasonable request", the old priest nearly ran out of breath.
Nevertheless, relying on years of cultivating his composure, he did not slap Jiang Wang away, but instead said, "There is indeed no such thing."
Jiang Wang blinked his eyes, "Even an additional twenty years of life would do."
The elderly woman sized up Jiang Wang and seemed to discover something, "No wonder you are so eager for this, it turns out you have a deficit in your lifespan."
As a leader of the Holy Tribe, her choice to "negotiate" privately with Jiang Wang was certainly not because she found him pleasing to the eye.
It was for two reasons. The first was because Jiang Wang was the strongest among the three envoys, with the most authority to speak. The second was that, in her judgement, Jiang Wang had principles, limits, and a sense of proportion—he did not seem like someone who would make outrageous demands.
Her judgement was not wrong.
