Chapter 883 -39 Stone and Knife

Lotson did not take this lightly.

Mitchell, that old fellow, was not easy to deal with.

The Heavenly Master’s Mansion was equally formidable.

Mr. Xu Jing, true and false, false and true, was unpredictable.

Ancestor Heavenly Master, inscrutable and elusive, made it difficult to discern his stance.

In today’s meeting, it was uncertain whether Ancestor Heavenly Master was setting a trap for Great Sage Mitchell or for Lotson.

That was the problem.

Thus, faced with Great Sage Mitchell’s confessions and earnest requests, Lotson merely replied coldly, “I do not want to know what deals you have made with the Immortal God Tomorrow Court or the Heavenly Master’s Mansion. Nor do I want to know how you knew the Heavenly Master’s Mansion could summon me. Your connections, channels, lifespan, and advancement are your own concerns; keep them to yourself. And don’t reach too far into my affairs. If I wish to harbor ill intentions toward someone, I will. If I want to kill someone, I will. Do you understand?”

Having said this, Lotson pushed away the teacup in front of him, stood up, and was about to leave the grand hall.

Great Sage Mitchell, still sitting, remained expressionless although he was somewhat angered, but calmly said, “Saint, will you not reconsider? It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.”

“No need to reconsider. I will not befriend someone who intends to rob me.”

Lotson firmly refused and walked toward the hall’s door.

The grand hall was the training ground of Ancestor Heavenly Master.

While he was present, no one could breach the space and achieve Qiankun Movement.

Thus, every time Lotson entered or exited, he did so on foot.

It was just a few steps, a matter of seconds, and it took no effort at all.

As Lotson reached the door of the hall and was about to pull it open, Great Sage Mitchell sighed deeply, “Saint, I really don’t have much time left. I am willing to do anything, and can do anything, to survive.”

“Oh?”

Lotson stopped walking, turned around, and with a slight smile looked at Great Sage Mitchell, “Are you threatening me?”

“I wouldn’t dare threaten a saint; I’m merely stating facts,”

Great Sage Mitchell picked up his teacup, took a light sip, then said indifferently, “But, if the Saint takes it as a threat, it’s fine too.”

“Heh heh…”

Saint Lotson laughed heartily.

After laughing for quite a while, Lotson gave Great Sage Mitchell a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to leave the grand hall.

Watching Lotson’s retreating figure, Great Sage Mitchell’s eyes were profound, his thoughts inscrutable.

Ancestor Heavenly Master materialized just as suddenly as he had vanished.

“A breakdown in talks?”

Pouring himself some tea, Ancestor Heavenly Master savored the aroma and asked leisurely.

“As expected,”

Great Sage Mitchell sat back down, “It’s normal for the talks to break down. It would be abnormal for them to succeed.”

“Why even talk then?”

Ancestor Heavenly Master inquired curiously.

“Without talking, how would the exact outcome be known?”

Great Sage Mitchell took another small sip of tea and suddenly changed the subject, “Ancestor Heavenly Master, I always feel as though the Heavenly Master’s Mansion has other plans that are not genuinely aimed at helping me. Please enlighten me.”

“Why would you feel that way?”

Ancestor Heavenly Master questioned back.

“Intuition.”

Great Sage Mitchell stared into Ancestor Heavenly Master’s abyss-like eyes and explained briefly.

Intuition, huh? It seems your intuition is quite accurate, fitting for someone who once aspired to seize the position of Mysterious Sage Wizard,”

Ancestor Heavenly Master remarked thoughtfully, directly addressing Great Sage Mitchell’s earlier question.

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Mitchell straightened his posture and asked seriously, “Ancestor Heavenly Master, would you tell me why, and what other plans you have?”

“Of course… not.”

Placing down the teacup he was enjoying, Ancestor Heavenly Master breathed out heavily, his response split into two parts.

Great Sage Mitchell was not affected by the heavy breathing.

Because when he posed that request, he harbored no expectation that Ancestor Heavenly Master would agree.

Without expectations, naturally, there were no disappointments.

Why ask, then?

Clearly, he was probing.

From Ancestor Heavenly Master’s reply and demeanor, Great Sage Mitchell had already obtained the answer he needed.

The Heavenly Master’s Mansion indeed had other plans when supporting Great Sage Mitchell’s change of discipline,

Plans that were sure to harm Great Sage Mitchell’s interests.

Having confirmed this, Great Sage Mitchell stood up to leave.

“Won’t you stay a little longer?”

Ancestor Heavenly Master called out to retain him, though his tone was not very enthusiastic.

“No need, I’ve already disturbed your meditation, Ancestor Heavenly Master, and dare not bother you further.”

Great Sage Mitchell politely declined and then left the grand hall and the Heavenly Master’s Mansion without looking back.

Not long after, Mr. Xu Jing, who had seen off both Lotson and Great Sage Mitchell, entered the grand hall.

All traces related to the tea had been cleared away by Ancestor Heavenly Master.

The grand hall was restored to its tranquil state.

Ancestor Heavenly Master sat on a cushion, transcendent and untethered.

Mr. Xu Jing did not rashly speak and waited patiently for a while.

Soon, Ancestor Heavenly Master opened his eyes and spoke, “Xu Jing, our stance has been made sufficiently clear by now. Following this event, the High Council of Wizard’s Civilization should no longer obstruct our progress in developing their universe. Let us start the necessary preparations.”
