Although she understood the reason why, it was still difficult for her to accept it. She knew she would not be much of a help to Duan Ling Tian with her strength.
The reason it was so difficult for her to accept this was due to the rejection from a man still full of vigor and vitality even though she, a beautiful woman, had taken the initiative to ask him to partner up!
If she did not know he already had three women, she might have thought he detested women.
"Hey!" Just as w.a.n.g Fei Xuan was going crazy in her heart, that annoying voice entered her ears in a timely manner. It took her by surprise. She immediately looked toward the source of the voice.
That fellow she hated had somehow appeared in front of her again.
"What?" w.a.n.g Fei Xuan was not a clingy woman. Since this man had rejected her, she, naturally, would not be so cheap as to cling on to someone who had given her the cold shoulder.
"I agree to your request of partnering up," Duan Ling Tian said indifferently when faced with w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's cold countenance. He was not bothered by it at all.
The moment his words left his mouth, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan was dumbstruck again.
This fellow who had rejected her request earlier was agreeing to it now?
It was said that women were capricious, but why did she feel that this guy was actually much more capricious than a woman?
"However, I have a condition!" The voice entered w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's ears again, causing her expression to turn grave as she stared at Duan Ling Tian spitefully.
"If you think you can force me to submit to you and take advantage of me, then you're sorely mistaken! Although I want to join forces with you, I'm not desperate enough to sell myself! Hurmph!" After she finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for Duan Ling Tian's response. Her movements were graceful and cool like floating clouds.
Duan Ling Tian was dumbfounded.
This woman actually thought he would make that kind of request?
Did he look like that kind of person?
However, Duan Ling Tian knew if he kept quiet now, it would be no different from admitting he had such thoughts. Due to this reason, he quickly called out to w.a.n.g Fei Xuan, "Wait a minute!"
w.a.n.g Fei Xuan came to a halt and turned around before glancing coldly at Duan Ling Tian without saying anything.
"Come on, Great Young Miss w.a.n.g! Aren't you too conceited? Do you really think I'm that kind of shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d?" Duan Ling Tian waved his hand and shook his head helplessly. "To be honest, although you're pretty good-looking and has quite a good body, in my opinion, you're really not attractive. My two fiancées and one girlfriend are not inferior to you in every aspect."
w.a.n.g Fei Xuan was shocked the moment she heard Duan Ling Tian's words. She looked into his eyes and saw that he was being honest. She immediately realized she had misunderstood him.
The eyes were the windows to the soul. The eyes would not lie.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's delicate face turned red, making her appear particularly enchanting.
"What condition do you have?" If it was not an over-the-top condition, she would accept it since she really wanted to partner up with Duan Ling Tian.
Naturally, it sounded nicer to say she was partnering up with Duan Ling Tian, but it was more like riding on his coattails. She believed she had the highest chance of obtaining the high-grade Divine Ability Relic by following Duan Ling Tian.
"I need you to help me to look for two people and ask them to join in our partners.h.i.+p," Duan Ling Tian told w.a.n.g Fei Xuan.
Upon hearing his words, her eyes lit up right away. "Who?!"
In her opinion, Duan Ling Tian had initially refused to cooperate with a Saint Stage genius like her, and now that he had taken the initiative to cooperate with two other people, these two must be far stronger than her.
To her, this was undoubtedly a good thing.
'I can't believe this fellow has already made friends with the Saint Stage geniuses in the Mystical Sky Mansion even though he has just entered the Mystical Sky Mansion not long ago. There seem to be only two people below the age of forty whose strength is above mine in the Heaven Palace. Could it be that Duan Ling Tian wants me to go look for them?' The moment w.a.n.g Fei Xuan thought of this, she became excited.
If that was the case, then she would be able to ride on three powerful people's coattails, and the chances of her getting the high-grade Divine Ability Relic would be very high.
"Liu Jian and Ren Fei," Duan Ling Tian told w.a.n.g Fei Xuan.
The moment these words entered w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's ears, it was as though a bucket of cold water had been thrown on her, was.h.i.+ng away the enthusiasm in her heart.
Naturally, she was not unfamiliar with the name Liu Jian and Ren Fei. She had even seen them a few times. They were both young geniuses who came from fourth-rate forces.
Moreover, Ren Fei had even pursued her before. However, he had stopped his attempt after he was beaten into a pulp by her.
"Are you close to them?" w.a.n.g Fei Xuan asked with a frown on her face. She really could not figure out why this fellow would want to join forces with Liu Jian and Ren Fei. These two fellows were much weaker than her. Not only would they not be of any help, but they would even get in their way.
"I don't know them." Duan Ling Tian shook his head.
w.a.n.g Fei Xuan, originally, thought Duan Ling Tian wanted to work together with them and helped them because he had a close relations.h.i.+p with them. However, when she heard his reply, she was rendered speechless immediately.
"You don't know them, but you still want to cooperate with them? Although they're young geniuses from the Sky Hurdle Mansion and Raging Wave Mansion, did you know their cultivation base has not even entered the Refined Saint Stage? Ren Fei, in particular, he's merely a Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator!"
When w.a.n.g Fei Xuan reached the end of her sentence, she was frustrated.
"Although I don't know them, I owe both their seniors a favor. I've decided to pay off the favors in the Saint Martial Secret Zone," Duan Ling Tian replied, "If you're unwilling to work with them, you can refuse. I can look for them myself if you choose to refuse. If you don't want to cooperate with them, then that means you won't be cooperating with me." Duan Ling Tian laid out the options for w.a.n.g Fei Xuan.
When she heard his words, she became even glummer.
She had only wanted to join forces with him because she regarded Duan Ling Tian's strength highly, and she felt he would be able to lead her to greater heights. However, currently, if she wanted to join forces with him, she would have to accept two excess pieces of baggage. To be honest, she felt extremely unwilling.
"So what's your decision? Great Young Miss w.a.n.g, are you done considering it?" Duan Ling Tian asked.
"Alright, I agree to let them join us, but you must guarantee they won't get in our way," w.a.n.g Fei Xuan said solemnly.
"What? You don't have confidence in me, Great Young Miss w.a.n.g?" Duan Ling Tian smiled nonchalantly.
Perhaps it was Duan Ling Tian's smile that had affected w.a.n.g Fei Xuan and allowed her to sense his confidence, but she no longer said anything and immediately left to look for Liu Jian and Ren Fei.
"What? You want me to join your little group? With that Ling Tian as well?" Originally, when Liu Jian saw w.a.n.g Fei Xuan coming to find him, he was a little baffled as to why this Young Miss would look for him. When she told him of her intention, he was delighted.
w.a.n.g Fei Xuan and Ling Tian were the two most powerful people among the 37 people who entered the Mystical Sky Mansion previously.
It would be filled with hards.h.i.+p once one entered the Saint Martial Secret Zone. He was just wondering if he should find a few people to join forces with. However, he did not expect before he could make his move, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan had already come and made a request.
"If you're willing, then this matter is confirmed. Naturally, it's fine as well if you're unwilling. However, you'll need to follow me and explain yourself to that fellow. Otherwise, he'll think I'm lying to him about you being unwilling," w.a.n.g Fei Xuan replied indifferently.
