Chapter 5595: Eastern Domain Lord is Not Bad (Part 2)
The Eastern Domain Lord had actually come to show goodwill. Both Fu San and Princess Wushuang couldn't help but inwardly cheer. The Eastern Domain Lord was truly a cunning individual. He actually thought of using a guaranteed entry slot to exchange for becoming Qiaoqiao's teammate. This was a deal with absolutely no risk and all reward. Who in the world didn't know that being Qiaoqiao's teammate was an absolute win?
Before Qiaomu could speak, the Eastern Domain Lord hastily added, "Please, everyone, don't misunderstand. I'm entering the Sacred Palace simply to find a divine artifact dagger named Crimson Haze. This is the only item I desire. Any other items encountered along the way, you are welcome to take them; I will not need any."
The Eastern Domain Lord opened his five fingers, and a dagger lay across his palm. He gently caressed it, his eyes seemingly flowing with a faint light. "This divine artifact is named Pearlescent. It was originally a pair with Crimson Haze."
"Decades ago, I once went to the Sacred Palace with my wife. Her Crimson Haze was unfortunately left behind in the palace."
"After that, I have gone searching every year, just hoping to find this Crimson Haze."
Princess Wushuang nodded. "I see. Does your esteemed wife not accompany you?"
The Eastern Domain Lord's expression darkened, and he sighed. "My wife passed away many years ago. I search for Crimson Haze every year because I want to fulfill one of her last wishes."
"My apologies," Princess Wushuang quickly said.
The Eastern Domain Lord shook his head, his eyes full of divine light as he looked at Qiaomu. "Madam Mo, I wonder if you would grant this humble request of mine?"
Qiaomu really wanted to refuse. After all, if they wanted to go to the Sacred Palace, they just needed to be among the top two hundred. With their strength, they could simply fight their way in. There was no need to accept the Eastern Domain Lord into their team just for a guaranteed entry slot. Lord Qiaoqiao, fundamentally, was quite averse to strangers.
But her husband subtly squeezed her small hand, and the words Qiaomu was about to utter to refuse became stuck.
"The Eastern Domain Lord's kindness is difficult to refuse. Then, this guaranteed entry slot shall be gifted to my son."
The Eastern Domain Lord felt a slight sense of relief upon hearing Mo Lian agree, then was somewhat surprised. "Young Master Mo, your child is so young, are you really planning to take him to the Sacred Palace?"
Lord Qiaoqiao nodded. "Our family of three moves together. Even if it's a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, or a thousand miles of ice, we'll go together."
Eastern Domain Lord: ...
He suddenly felt like he had nothing more to say to Madam Mo.
Mo Lian suppressed a smile. In truth, his wife meant: When going out for training, one must bring the child along to start training from a young age. Only then will the child have the ability to protect themselves when they leave their parents.
But when his wife spoke, it always became a little funny...
Madam Mo stopped speaking when she saw that the Eastern Domain Lord was silent.
After less than three seconds of silence, the Eastern Domain Lord smiled and cupped his hands to Mo Lian. "Young Master Mo, then it is settled. I will wait for you all to successfully pass the top two hundred selection, and then we will team up to go to the Sacred Palace."
"As for the competition time, it will be posted at the entrance of Holy Domain First Tower tomorrow."
Now, Holy Domain First Tower was the most crowded place in the Eastern Domain. Posting the announcement there would quickly make it known to everyone.
Young Master Fu San escorted the Eastern Domain Lord out. Returning to the house, he heard Lord Qiaoqiao complaining, "Why bring an outsider with us?"
Given Lord Qiaoqiao's temperament, she was probably thinking of secretly releasing some Phoenix clan members in the Sacred Palace... But if there was an outsider in their team, doing anything would be inconvenient.
