Chapter 623: Agreeing to Help, Setting Out for the Wu Family

Qin Xiao’s entire explanation had been deliberately prepared.

Claiming the backing came from the human race neatly concealed the source of his wealth and explained why he’d asked the Hu Family to act in secret. Just push everything onto the human race—simple as that.

He had also backed off to gain ground, saying he would understand if the Hu family refused. It was another guilt-trip, putting Hu Li on the spot.

“If that’s the case, then there’s no issue at all. This old man doesn’t need to produce any Immortal Stones anyway. Never imagined that group of yours—every single one blessed with heaven-defying Fated Chances. To escape unscathed and even stabilize your foundations… your future growth must be immeasurable.

Since Qin Xiao had already laid the cards on the table, Hu Li had no particular reason to refuse. After a moment’s consideration, he agreed.

Even though Qin Xiao claimed he wouldn’t hold a grudge if refused, Hu Li knew that if he didn’t help with something this trivial, the boy would certainly harbor resentment. Future dealings would be strained.

“Many thanks, Manor Master Hu, for your assistance.”

Even if the human race never rose, he’d lose nothing. And so what if the Wu Family later discovered he’d helped the human race make this purchase? He didn’t dare offend Wuji Manor, but did that mean he had to fear the Wu Family too?

“Two days from now.”

The appointment with Wu Qiyue had been set for three days later. By the time Qin Xiao returned to Huli Immortal Manor, it was the next day, leaving two days.
