Chapter 158: Wang Shouzhe! Why Is Your Shadow Everywhere? (Part 5)
The Immortal Supreme's expression froze.
This shameless tone of Binglan's felt oddly familiar?
Could it be, this is the style of Dongqian?
After holding it in for a while, the Immortal Supreme finally said, "Fine, as long as you don't go independent after splitting, and still accept the unified jurisdiction and dispatch of the Immortal Palace, I'll decide to give you thirty-five percent!"
"Immortal Supreme, how can this be?" True Monarch Shuangran hissed, feeling as if his heart was being cut out, "Our Ji Ice Sacred Land has many disciples, abruptly dividing away thirty-five percent of the resources might affect the future growth of the disciples."
"Can't we just split the disciples with me as well?" Enlightened One Binglan obviously had a plan beforehand and immediately said, "True Monarch Shuangran, you need to have a broader vision. We are all disciples of the Immortal Palace, all family, all making contributions to the Human race, why be so petty?"
Who is family with you? You're about to split away!
True Monarch Shuangran almost vomited blood, just as he was about to speak, the Immortal Supreme spoke up, "Exactly, Shuangran, your vision is a bit lacking. What's the harm in giving Binglan some more resources? This can help her newly established Sacred Land grow quickly, and soon become one of the pillars of the Human race. This matter, I agree to it."
"Thank you, Immortal Supreme."
Enlightened One Binglan was overjoyed, but also couldn't help but mutter to herself.
That brat Shouzhe may be cunning and sly, not very likable, but one must admit, his maneuver is indeed effective.
At first, she was a bit hesitant, worried that she'd look like a shrew, damaging her image in the disciples' eyes. But now, it seems, Shouzhe's advice was crude yet correct.
If you don't make a fuss about some matters, people won't take you seriously, they might just brush you off with a meager offering. Now that things have blown up, with the Immortal Supreme present, it is indeed much easier to resolve.
"By the way, Binglan, have you decided on a location for your new Sacred Land?" the Immortal Supreme asked with concern.
"I have. It'll be in the Northern Wilderness Ice Field, where the climate is suitable for my 'Icy Soul Sacred Land'," Enlightened One Binglan replied.
"The Northern Wilderness Ice Field? It seems a bit desolate, and it's quite far from our Immortal Palace headquarters." The Immortal Supreme was slightly hesitant, "Also, the Northern Wilderness Ice Field has many Barbarian Tribe settlements, and lacks a unified stable national power as a foundation, which could pose a lot of trouble."
"Don't worry, Immortal Supreme, that brat Shouzhe has already planned it all out," Enlightened One Binglan said, "Shouzhe will cooperate with Da Qian to open up the Northern Wilderness Ice Field's air and land routes, and gradually enlighten the Barbarian Tribes of the Northern Wilderness Ice Field..."
"Wait? Shouzhe?" The Immortal Supreme's expression turned stiff, "Isn't it Clan Leader Wang Shouzhe of the Changning Wang Clan?"
This Wang Shouzhe, how does it feel like he's involved in everything?!
"Uh..."
Enlightened One Binglan's expression froze slightly, feeling like she let something slip.
"Hmph! Why is Wang Shouzhe everywhere? And every time he's manipulating from behind the scenes." The Immortal Supreme's forehead throbbed, and even unintentionally, his tone turned indignant, "Could it be that he's the mastermind behind your commotion at the Immortal Palace this time as well?"
"Good heavens! He's really a grand behind-the-scenes manipulator~!"
"Hiding in Changning, seemingly inactive, yet secretly laying out plans across the whole Immortal Dynasty, his reach is really extensive! Quite something indeed~"
This Wang Shouzhe, does he really think the Immortal Dynasty is his private garden?!
If he dares to come to the Immortal Palace in the future, I'll have to meet him in person, see if he really has three heads and six arms!
...
Dongqian Changning.
Wang Shouzhe was in the middle of treating King Chaoyang when he couldn't help but sneeze multiple times, furrowing his brows slightly.
"Heh heh, Shouzhe, which bigwig is scolding you now?" King Chaoyang glanced at him, smiling mockingly, "It must be that a bigwig, in a fit of anger, triggered the Heavenly Dao Laws, causing you to sneeze to express dissatisfaction. Did you secretly pull some strings again?"
"Is that a thing?" Wang Shouzhe was caught off guard, "Who would've thought that sneezing after being scolded actually had a scientific basis?"
