Chapter 258

The entire person vanished instantly from where he stood.

When he reappeared,

he was already nearby, a short distance away.

Watching Bu Jingyun's expression—cold, saying little.

Li Taibai sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"Alright, alright, I'll say it, okay?"

"Today's youth, not a single one knows how to respect the elderly and care for the young!"

Listening to his complaints,

Bu Jingyun's face remained utterly expressionless.

He simply stared at him silently, waiting for more.

Seeing he didn't take the bait,

a flicker of embarrassment crossed Li Taibai's face.

He scratched his nose and spoke.

"I am Li Taibai, Fifth Dragon Chief of the Qinglong Society."

"I have come on the Great Dragon Chief's orders to invite you to join our Qinglong Society."

Hm?

Qinglong Society??

Bu Jingyun blinked slightly in surprise.

His brows furrowed instinctively.

As the Chief of the Feiyun Division of the Weitianxia Society,

he had naturally heard rumors of the Qinglong Society.

Yet what puzzled him was,

why would they come to invite him?

With his own strength, to the Qinglong Society, he was utterly expendable!

Thinking of this, he spoke coldly.

"How do you prove you're the Fifth Dragon Chief of the Qinglong Society?"

"And if I refuse?"

Proof?

Li Taibai's mind went blank.

The wine he'd just swallowed nearly shot out of his nose.

A "Holy shit" nearly slipped out.

He rolled his eyes in exasperation and grumbled.

"I have no proof."

"But I can answer your second question."

"If you refuse, from today on, you needn't trouble yourself with revenge anymore."

"Also, the woman you care for won't require your concern either."

Before he finished speaking,

Bu Jingyun's already icy expression grew even colder.

His gaze toward him brimmed with hostility.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Threatening?"

Li Taibai paused, then laughed bitterly and shook his head.

"You're mistaken. I'm merely stating a fact."

"If the Qinglong Society cannot have you, no one else shall!"

Saying this,

as if to prove he possessed the power to eliminate him,

Li Taibai's eyes flashed with sharp light.

A terrifying, overwhelming aura surged forth, crushing down upon him like a tidal wave.

Yet in an instant, it vanished completely.

As if nothing had ever happened.

Only Bu Jingyun's face now wore solemnity.

He stared intently at him and asked,

"What can you offer me?!"

148-Nie Feng: My mental state just collapsed! (Please subscribe!)

"Offer you?"

"You're wrong."

"In the Qinglong Society, you must earn everything yourself!"

"As long as you have the ability, whether it's cultivation manuals, divine weapons, pills, or even immortality—"

"You can obtain them all!!"

Li Taibai paused, then chuckled as he explained.

That air of calm detachment.

Those who didn't know would think he was talking about a cabbage by the roadside!

Upon hearing these words.

Bu Jingyun trembled violently all over.

A few traces of shock unconsciously appeared on his face.

It wasn't that he had never seen the world.

It was simply that what was being offered was too outrageous!

Not to mention him.

Even if anyone else had come, they likely couldn't resist such temptation!

Most importantly,

He could even strive for immortality!

Even a monarch of a nation would not remain unmoved!

"Are you telling the truth?"

After taking two deep breaths, Bu Jingyun confirmed with a look of doubt and disbelief.

His eyes locked tightly onto him.

As if trying to find a crack in his expression.

"Do you think I have any reason to lie to you?"

"Or perhaps, do you truly believe the Qinglong Society cannot do without you?"

"You adding doesn't make more; you leaving doesn't make less."

"Don't get too big for your boots!!"

"Stronger than you? There are countless such people in the Qinglong Society!"

Li Taibai let out a light snort.

His words left him not the slightest bit of face.

Bu Jingyun fell silent.

Although these words sounded harsh,

his rational mind knew the other was not lying.

Thus,

he sank into silent thought for a while.

Thinking of his blood-deep grudge against Xiong Nu.
