SEC Chapter 1570 Well, this is just right!
Chapter 1570 Well, this is just right!
Ye Chuyun’s question hit the nail on the head.
Shengtian seemed quite impressed by Ye Chuyun's reaction, but he did not directly answer the reason for his choice.
"Why should I explain to others the reasons for my actions?"
“Appreciation is appreciation.”
"The potential, the mentality, and the personality all suit my taste."
He paused and said, "I am pursuing the great path, and the road ahead is long. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could find like-minded people to walk alongside me?"
"You have the potential to go that far."
"This invitation is not mandatory."
"You can accept it or refuse it." Shengtian's voice still contained no emotion.
"I will not make things difficult for you, nor will I vent my anger on you."
"Everything is up to you to decide."
After saying that, he stopped talking and just waited quietly for Ye Chuyun's reply.
The entire hall fell into an eerie silence. Everyone subconsciously slowed down their breathing and stared at Ye Chuyun, waiting for his decision.
Should I accept this honor that is enough to drive countless people crazy, become a partner of Shengtian, and ascend to heaven from then on?
Or refuse?
Ye Chuyun stood there, frowning slightly, lost in thought.
Shengtian's words sounded sincere, and the conditions were extremely generous, even giving the option of rejection.
But is it really that simple behind this...
It is not easy to get the skin of a tiger.
What does this kind of partnership require of him?
You could hear a pin drop in the hall, but Ye Chuyun's mind was racing with thoughts.
Ye Chuyun pondered for a moment.
The conditions offered by Shengtian seemed incredibly generous on the surface, with almost no constraints and maximum freedom and respect.
But this is precisely the biggest problem.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
He and Shengtian had never met before. Their only connection was the job transfer assessment that was a show of force, and then the competition for ranking with him.
None of these are things that can win favor.
Why did the other party value him so much? The hidden intention behind this made him think deeply.
A direct refusal would certainly be straightforward, but it might also completely anger this unfathomable being, bringing disaster upon himself and his base, which would not be a wise move.
But if he rashly agreed, it would be equivalent to tying himself to Shengtian, and it would be difficult to predict whether the future would be a blessing or a disaster. This was seriously inconsistent with his character of being accustomed to taking his destiny into his own hands.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Chuyun raised his head and replied:
"I am deeply honored that Your Excellency Shengtian values me so highly."
"The word 'partner' carries a lot of weight. It affects our future path. I beg your pardon for not being able to make a decision right now."
"Could you allow me to think this over carefully after I return and then give you a reply?"
He did not agree immediately, nor did he refuse outright, but chose to delay.
This is a safe choice that gives face to the other party and buys you some buffer time.
Anyone with a little emotional intelligence and experience would not make a decision easily when faced with such a major choice.
At this moment, there was no emotion on Shengtian's face, and he didn't seem surprised by Ye Chuyun's answer.
He nodded lightly:
"Yes. I said, everything is up to you."
"There's no rush for this matter. You can take your time to think about it after you return."
"When you figure it out, just let me know through Lan Feng."
He agreed so readily, which further confirmed Ye Chuyun's vigilance.
The other party must have big ambitions, otherwise he wouldn't be so patient.
After discussing the topic of partners, Shengtian changed the subject and asked casually:
"I heard that you hold a Holy Land Pass? I guess you'll be heading to the Holy Land for training soon."
Ye Chuyun's heart moved, and he thought to himself that as expected, Shengtian had a very detailed grasp of the information about him.
His expression remained unchanged as he replied, "Your Excellency is well-informed. This is indeed the case."
Shengtian continued, "Within the Holy Land, opportunities and dangers coexist. Although there are great opportunities, there are also dangers at every step."
"You're going it alone, so you're bound to be weak. Do you need a companion?"
"I have several people around me who have obtained the qualifications to enter the Holy Land. They are quite capable and may be able to look after you."
This seemed to be a well-intentioned reminder and help, but Ye Chuyun sensed a hint of something unusual in it.
Letting Shengtian's people follow you around, how is that different from surveillance?
In a place like the Holy Land, so-called companions are sometimes more terrifying than enemies.
He declined without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness. However, I am used to being alone and prefer to explore on my own."
"Opportunities in the Holy Land depend on one's own ability. I won't bother your people with that."
After being rejected again, Shengtian still did not show any displeasure. Instead, he seemed to have expected this and just waved his hand casually: "It's okay, whatever you want."
Seeing this scene, the followers in the hall's eyes twitched, and their hearts were in turmoil, filled with a sense of absurdity.
Is this really the Lord Shengtian they know?
How could Lord Shengtian, who had the power to decide life and death with his words and whose will could not be disobeyed, and who always scolded and used cruel methods against his followers, be so easy to talk to today?
He first proposed an incredible equal relationship as a partner, and didn't get angry when the other party said he would consider it.
He then offered to send people to help explore the holy land, but after being rejected flatly, he still looked calm and composed?
This character's setting is too broken!
Is it because Ye Chuyun has better talent and a stronger foundation that Lord Shengtian treats him differently?
A strong sense of sourness and weirdness filled everyone's heart.
Afterwards, Shengtian asked some seemingly casual questions about the Blue Star Region and the development of Weiyang City. Ye Chuyun answered them carefully one by one. The atmosphere seemed peaceful, but there were actually undercurrents.
Ye Chuyun felt that the atmosphere in the hall was becoming more and more weird. Under Shengtian's seemingly peaceful attitude, he always felt that there were a pair of invisible eyes watching everything about him at all times, making him feel uncomfortable.
He didn't want to stay any longer, so he found an excuse and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency Shengtian, there are still many matters that need to be handled at the residence. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
Upon hearing this, Shengtian did not try to persuade him to stay, but simply nodded calmly: "In that case, I will not keep you here."
"Lan Feng, send the guests back."
Lan Feng responded quickly, his attitude a little more respectful than before.
He had witnessed with his own eyes how indulgent and favored Lord Shengtian was towards Ye Chuyun.
Soon Lan Feng opened the passage again and respectfully sent Ye Chuyun away.
When Ye Chuyun's figure completely disappeared at the entrance of the passage, the peaceful aura around Shengtian instantly disappeared without a trace.
The terrifying pressure spread like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire hall.
Those followers who were still complaining and jealous in their hearts were instantly silenced by this pressure, their faces turned pale, and they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe.
This is the Lord Shengtian they are familiar with.
