Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 546: Chapter 391: Talking Nonsense with a Straight Face_2

The Old One knew well, my friend, you want to remain aloof from all matters, but who truly could in times like these? It will be an era of chaos. Whether you are a baby just learning to speak or a patriarch who oversees vast lands, your fate will be out of your control,”

Meng Tian Zheng begged earnestly, longing to make a final attempt.

He had witnessed a glimpse of the future, a vast era where even the Immortal Great Sects, which had given birth to true immortals and stood proud for tens of millions of years, would crumble to ruins, with wailing everywhere. Who could remain untouched by it?

“I’ve already made my views clear, no need for further words. If you disagree, I won’t force you. I believe that even without your Heavenly’s God Academy, under my guidance, the rare geniuses of Liu Village will not be any inferior in their future development!”

Jiang Hui spoke in a crisp and decisive tone, interrupting Meng Tian Zheng who still wanted to continue pleading.

Meng Tian Zheng sighed. He knew that no matter what he said now, he would not be able to change the mind of the man standing before him.

Truth be told, he never thought that the master of Liu Village could be so ruthless, utterly indifferent to the lives and deaths of the world’s populace.

This person was absolutely devoted to his self-interest, and only a substantial benefit could possibly move him. Mere words certainly wouldn’t.

Meng Tian Zheng sighed once more and finally left Liu Village.

He did agree to Jiang Hui’s demands on condition that the residents of Liu Village had to meet certain requirements, enough to pass the academy’s screening test.

“Mr. Jiang, I have a question. I’m not sure whether our headman would approve,”

The Willow God suddenly spoke as he watched Meng Tian Zheng and the others practicing cultivation in the distance.

“Oh, ask away, it doesn’t matter!” Jiang Hui replied indifferently.

“Mr. Jiang, have you ever had a cultivation partner?” asked the Willow God after a moment of thought.

“?!!”

Jiang Hui was momentarily stunned, not quite knowing what to say.

This is quite a personal question, isn’t it?

Moreover, as the Willow God and once the Ancestor of the Sacrificial Spirits, what does this question imply?

“Can’t answer, can you?” The Willow God teased.

“No, it’s neither inconvenient, nor important,” Jiang Hui responded, “I never had a partner since I started my cultivation journey. I’ve always been alone.”

He answered honestly. Had he been a modern person, this question would have been a somewhat private one. But they weren’t in modern times. Maybe a wealthy man’s thought process was supposed to be like this—what he saw as a private issue could just be a casual greeting, and being overly conscious wouldn’t allow him to be carefree.

“Since you asked out of curiosity, I’m also quite curious…”

Jiang Hui suddenly turned to face the Willow God and smiled vaguely.

“You are an immortal with an endless lifespan, a great power that transcends heaven and earth from the last epoch till now. In these everlasting years, have you ever encountered anyone whom you could entrust your life to?”

He had always been curious about this question, both now and in the past. He just hadn’t found an opportunity to ask until now.

If you ask me, isn’t it fair that I ask you as well?

“Why would you ask such a question, Mr. Jiang?”

The Willow God paused for a moment, his eyes still bright like the stars, but his expression subtly revealed a hint of inexplicable complexity. He didn’t expect Jiang Hui to retort so quickly with the same question.

Doesn’t this man take losses at all? She’s still a woman after all!

On the moss-covered stone path, the Willow God pursed her lips, her gaze piercing.

Her body was slender, legs tall and well-proportioned, round and plump. She was as white and smooth as ivory, emitting a warm glow, and wafts of alluring fragrance continuously drifted into the air.

What should have been a hypnotic scene was instead filled with a rare silence. The breeze lifted a corner of her skirt revealing her beautiful legs.

Could it be… there’s a story?

Jiang Hui blinked, conjuring a handful of melon seeds for himself. He watched the Willow God attentively, ready to intently play the role of an onlooker enjoying the drama.

“It was just a passing thought. If you have any hidden sentiments, you don’t have to speak of it.”

Although he said these words, Jiang Hui made them sound incredibly insincere.

He was truly interested in this topic. But if her secrets were something the Willow God did not want to remember, it would be better not to know.

As an experienced person once said, the more secrets a man knows about a woman, especially a secretive “older woman”, the more special his position in her eyes would be, and it would be harder to ignore him.

“Since Mr. Jiang has shared with me, I should be able to share as well. The Willow God spoke slowly with a faint note in her voice.

“The era in which I became famous is known as the Ancient Fairy Era, which I believe is also your era, right?

I still remember that time. The cultivation system was established by the Immortal Domain, and it utilized the Immortal Seed to connect to the Great Taoist. This was later referred to as the Immortal Ancient Method. In that era, many True Immortals and Immortal Kings were born, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were in a state of constant prosperity.
