Family avoid a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it would affect He Song himself and put him in jeopardy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then naturally, the Zhou Family would have to fend for itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even though He Song had ideas in his mind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was absolutely impossible for him to agree right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Zhou Family was a Foundation Establishment Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such Foundation Establishment Clans could attract enemies that likely had very powerful backers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, no matter whether the Zhou Family's enemies were another Foundation Establishment Clan or a Golden Elixir power,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these forces would also have their backgrounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once He Songzhen really offered his help,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he might face a situation where fighting a minor power would lead to facing a major one, and defeating a major power would bring an even greater power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was the situation He Song least wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his cultivation had reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, and he was no longer a weakling in the Cultivation World,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>facing such a situation would still make his scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if, in the end, the enemy managed to bring an Ancestor Yuanying into the fray?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, regarding the Zhou Family's affairs,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song felt it was better to hold the decision-making power as to whether or not he would assist them in his own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if the Zhou Family relied on his current words to request his aid,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and He Song, due to his earlier promise, was compelled to lend a hand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if he then provoked some formidable enemies, he feared he might not walk away with his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an outcome\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was naturally not something He Song wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For He Song, situations that could leave him open to criticism, have others morally coerce him based on his own words, or tarnish his reputation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>are better off not happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if He Song agreed to Zhou Ruo today, saying that if the Zhou Family was in trouble he would definitely help,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then in the future, there could certainly be those who would foolishly wield his words to morally coerce him into protecting the Zhou Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, if after making such a statement, He Song chose not to help the Zhou Family when they faced trouble,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>people from the Zhou Family could also use it to ruin his reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as long as He Song agreed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the risks it brought to him would not only be reputation damage and moral coercion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If He Songzhen really couldn't resist the persuasion and chose to help the Zhou Family,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he might face a situation of battling lesser powers and then greater powers, and after defeating the greater powers, even greater ones still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For He Song, such a situation was already endangering his very life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of matter\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was definitely not something He Song would agree to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even when faced with Zhou Ruo asking in person, He Song didn't agree right away, instead saying he would consider it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as long as He Song didn't verbally agree to this matter, if the Zhou Family encountered trouble in the future, he could naturally watch without feeling any hesitation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>without the scenario happening where, having made a promise, he was obligated to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as He Song did not verbally agree to this matter,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no matter whether the Zhou Family's enemies had powerful connections or not,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song would be able to make his own choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could choose to help decisively when he saw that the opponent had no significant background\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or decide to give up on the Zhou Family decisively when he saw the powerful connections behind the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power to decide these two courses of action was actually in He Song's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he didn't agree,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song couldn't possibly be morally coerced by the Zhou Family,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>nor could the Zhou Family tarnish his reputation using his own words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, He Song had never committed to definitely helping the Zhou Family; he merely stated he would see later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, the situation He Song would face was much more relaxed than if he had readily agreed to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given a choice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song would naturally weigh his options thoroughly before choosing the one most advantageous to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As ideas flashed through his mind, He Song looked at Zhou Ruo with a very calm gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was the Zhou Family seeking his protection,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not He Song asking to protect the Zhou Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initiative in this affair was in He Song's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of this, He Song was naturally very calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dismissed Zhou Ruo's request as if refusing a trivial matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for Zhou Ruo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was a significant issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhou Ruo heard He Song's rejection, her expression fluctuated several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, she could only force a smile and gave He Song her thanks with a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this occasion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song had given her an extremely precious Foundation Establishment Elixir,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as well as quite a few low-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These spirit stones were given to Zhou Ruo by He Song previously, to buy information from the Treasure Pavilion every few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song no longer needed her to go to the Treasure Pavilion every few days to purchase news about advanced tunneling skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of this, those spirit stones He Song had given her naturally remained in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When He Song summoned her this time, he did not intend to ask for those spirit stones back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in addition to the several thousand low-grade spirit stones that He Song had just given her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ruo also had several thousand low-grade spirit stones that He Song had given her earlier to buy information from the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>",983,"2026-06-10T05:03:40.514Z",1,"novelbin.me","966c32bd4ae7629f5b58d41194e56f874da5e21f517dbf9fe683ee9145d2102b","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-1133","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-1131",1957,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-cover.jpg"]
