Chapter 288: Chapter 46: Binglan Ascendant Is Quite Playful
...
That’s right.
Binglan Ascendant recently asked Changchun Ascendant for the Longevity Fruit, which means she recently had such a need.
Also, it’s precisely at this time that Ancestor Longyan is preparing to return to the sect. Binglan Ascendant most likely wants the Longevity Fruit for Ancestor Longyan.
Of course, this is just Wang Shouzhe’s speculation; perhaps she has other plans.
Immediately, Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Ascendant, we can discuss this matter first. But I cannot guarantee that I will definitely sell it to the Ascendant."
Binglan Ascendant was silent for a while, clearly digesting her displeasure.
From her past behavior, she is not someone with a good temper.
Asking a junior for something, and the junior keeps declining; how can that be satisfactory?
Moreover, this junior is acting high and mighty over their Profound Ice Hall, even acquiring the Longevity Fruit by suppressing Profound Ice Hall.
Only after a long time did she manage to swallow her anger and say in a calm tone, "If that’s the case, then come into my Profound Ice Pavilion to discuss this matter."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe, guided by the senior brother inside the Profound Ice Hall, entered the Profound Ice Pavilion from the main hall.
Not to mention he couldn’t fly directly up to the high Profound Ice Pavilion, even if he could, if he dared to fly up, Binglan Ascendant would probably swat him down.
Changchun Ascendant, seeing this, followed Wang Shouzhe with a wag, taking the opportunity to enter the Profound Ice Pavilion together.
Upon seeing Changchun Ascendant, Binglan Ascendant’s delicate brows furrowed, "Changchun, what are you doing here?"
Changchun Ascendant seemed unaware of her anger, looking around casually, and sighed slightly, "Binglan Junior Sister~ To think, it’s been two hundred years since I last came to your Profound Ice Pavilion. Remembering the past leaves one filled with emotions~ Don’t worry, I have no other intentions, I’m just accompanying my disciple inside to support him, afraid he’ll suffer a loss."
"Hmph~" Binglan Ascendant sneered, "If I want him to suffer a loss, can you stop me?"
However, for some reason, she didn’t drive Changchun Ascendant out, only staring coldly and authoritatively at Wang Shouzhe.
Faced with this pressure, Wang Shouzhe remained as calm as ever, seemingly unaffected.
He cupped his hands respectfully, "Wang Shouzhe, greets Binglan Ascendant."
At the same time, he glanced at Ancestor Longyan and the dignified Faang You’an out of the corner of his eye.
The former gave him a sideways look, as if saying, "You really know how to play, even daring to provoke my Master."
The latter, however, nodded slightly, smiling warmly, as if showing goodwill.
Seeing that her imposing gaze had no effect on Wang Shouzhe, Binglan Ascendant had to withdraw her sharp gaze and said, "Tell me, what price do you want to sell it for?"
The difference in their generations and ages was too vast, and she couldn’t bring herself to forcibly exert her powerful aura.
Wang Shouzhe remained neither arrogant nor obstinate, saying, "How much to sell it for is not up for discussion. Shouzhe wants to know, who is the Ascendant planning to use this Longevity Fruit for?"
Binglan Ascendant was quite exasperated.
I am a dignified Ascendant, do I need to report to you who I’m buying a Longevity Fruit for?
However, she couldn’t help but glance at Ancestor Longyan.
With this, there was no need for further words; Wang Shouzhe had nine-tenths certainty.
He immediately shook his head, "Since that’s the case, I’m afraid Shouzhe cannot sell this Longevity Fruit to Binglan Ascendant."
"You!"
Binglan Ascendant’s eyes sharpened, her tone unfriendly, "Boy, not even your master dares to tease me like this!"
Beside him, Changchun Ascendant was also sweating coldly.
Brat, if you don’t want to sell it to Binglan Ascendant, just refuse! Why provoke enmity by dragging it out?
"If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation," Binglan Ascendant said coldly, threatening, "I’ll, I’ll... I’ll beat your master up!"
The poor Changchun Ascendant was so shocked his beard curled up, "If this kid doesn’t explain to you, why hit me?"
Binglan Ascendant glared at him.
If she doesn’t hit him, can she really take action against a kid that’s more than five hundred years younger than her? She couldn’t handle such embarrassment.
Furthermore, Profound Ice Hall had just suffered a major setback at Wang Shouzhe’s hands. Taking it out on him now would seem like revenge born from private interests, which would ruin Profound Ice Hall’s reputation if word got out.
Wang Shouzhe barely held back his laughter.
He cleared his throat, controlled his expression, and calmly said, "Reporting to the Ascendant, this Longevity Fruit is prepared for my family ancestor. Our family ancestor was injured in a battle in her youth, damaging her foundation and losing lifespan, urgently needing this Sacred Fruit to make up for the deficit."
Binglan Ascendant’s eyes paused, but she waved her hand irritably, "In consideration of your filial piety, I won’t argue with you. Go away, go away~ For both our sakes, don’t let me see you again. I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist hitting someone."
"Pfft~"
At this, Ancestor Longyan could no longer hold back her laughter.
She gave Wang Shouzhe a fierce sideways look, "You brat, did you come to Profound Ice Hall just to make trouble for me and annoy my Master?"
"Hehe~"
Wang Shouzhe chuckled dryly, cupping his hands to Ancestor Longyan, "Ancestor, speaking of this matter truly shows the capriciousness of fate. If I’d known Binglan Ascendant wanted to procure the Longevity Fruit for you, why would I put in so much effort?"
"You’ve put in effort?"
In front of her master, Ancestor Longyan seemed much younger in spirit, glaring at Wang Shouzhe, "I saw you enjoying your match with Junior Brother Mingyu, where’s the effort? Hmph~ I’ll settle this with you later."
