Chapter 741: Chapter 745: The First Test 9
White Bird was quietly observing Xun Shui’s expression.
He smiled lightly, stuffing the porcelain vial into Xun Shui’s hand.
"My meaning, Young Master Xun Shui should understand, who between Liao Li and I, is really the foreigner?"
Xun Shui’s face was contorted. He was forced to grip the porcelain vial, feeling somewhat at a loss.
White Bird continued, "The Vermilion Bird Clan and the Xuanjia Clan have always been close friends. It was those cunning White Fox Beastmen who stirred up trouble, disrupting the bond between our two clans."
"The Young Master of Xuanjia ought to think this through. Before we entered the Wood Immortal Mansion, none of us thought that this would turn into a fight over the mansion’s inheritance. The prize we received from simply passing the first round of the trial was already so extraordinary. Imagine what treasures must be hidden within the Wood Immortal Mansion!"
"Does Liao Li even deserve this? Without lifting a finger, he wants the fruits of our blood, sweat, and tears to be surrendered to him? Xun Shui, I can’t accept this, and I believe you can’t either!"
"Xun Shui, follow me. I promise you as the Young Master of the Vermilion Bird Clan, if I do gain the inheritance of the Wood Immortal Mansion, you can choose any treasure inside. How about it?"
Although Xun Shui didn’t speak, his heart was already leaning toward White Bird based on his words.
The confusion on his face deepened. He was torn and found it difficult to make a decision.
White Bird knew it was time to give him a big surprise.
White Bird laughed carelessly, "I tried to win you over not because of your strength. I just genuinely think you’re a good person."
With that, White Bird flicked a finger, and a tiny spark fell onto a cushion of grass in front of Xun Shui.
The cushion of grass erupted into flames instantly, turning to ashes in merely two seconds.
Xun Shui went rigid. He suddenly looked up at White Bird, "You’re not a Level 3 Divine Brave Warrior, you’ve been hiding your real strength?"
Even though it was a question, his tone had a firm note of certainty.
White Bird didn’t answer his question but simply laughed and patted Xun Shui on the shoulder.
"Take some time and think it over, and come find me when you’re ready."
Watching White Bird’s departing back, Xun Shui’s eyes reflected a mix of emotions.
He took another look at the exquisite porcelain vial in his hand. It was a top-quality golden wound medicine, far better than the Golden Sore Patch he had obtained.
More than half the vial was still filled. It was likely that White Bird only gotten one vial. With more trials ahead and danger unknown, he actually gave it to him?
Recalling that White Bird had been hiding his power for so long, he went through such restraint, such a person would surely achieve greatness in the future!
Xun Shui looked at White Bird, deep in thought, but he had already made up his mind.
He uncorked the vial silently and began to medicate himself.
The room wasn’t very large.
It was impossible to hide White Bird’s recruitment of Xun Shui, and White Bird didn’t intend to hide it.
He wobbled back to his original position with a carefree air.
Xi gave White Bird a smiling glance, "Young Master Vermilion Bird’s strategy of combining soft and hard tactics is brilliant. The way you win people over is also highly skilled. I am impressed."
White Bird chuckled in response, "And you, the Young Mermaid Master? Are you moved by me?"
Xi replied coolly, "Young Master Vermilion Bird, you jest."
White Bird smiled faintly without replying.
The room returned to its usual quiet. No one was in a rush to move on to the second round of the trials.
After a short while.
Several flashes of white light lit up the room.
Once the light had faded Yadang, Xi’en, and Xuan Tian appeared.
