Chapter 301: Doing Things for You_3
Chen Mu listened to Hua Nongyue's words, and a trace of strangeness flashed through his eyes.
Given the way the Hehuan Sect conducted its affairs, if they wanted to get closer to him or to extract information from him, it would be quite normal to send some disciples to attend to him as maids and servants.
But Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying were different; this pair of sisters were not ordinary disciples of the Hehuan Sect but true inheritors from the previous generation and current protectors of the Hehuan Sect. They held a certain status within the sect, and both had potential to strive for the Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster in the future. They practiced the Taiyin and Taiyang Artistic Conceptions respectively, and should they achieve grandmastership, they could be among the very top.
Even the possibility of their undergoing a Blood Exchange in the future was uncertain.
To have such two top potential grandmaster seeds working for him was no small matter. After all, he was not someone like Yan Jingqing; he was an upright protector of the Spirit Profound Peak under the Seven Profound Sect.
The words of the Hua sisters made it impossible for Chen Mu not to speculate that perhaps the Hehuan Sect was seeking to cooperate with the Seven Profound Sect on something, perhaps involving the Ice State war.
"Is this the intention of the Hehuan Sect?"
Chen Mu looked at Hua Nongyue and asked.
Hua Nongyue shook her head and then quickly nodded.
Chen Mu turned his gaze to Hua Nongying. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
Hua Nongying said softly, "The Hehuan Sect is very free, everyone can choose their own way to work for the sect. So, this is both the sect's intention and just our own idea."
Chen Mu said calmly, "Why do you want to work for me?"
Gazing at Chen Mu with clear eyes and meeting his directly, Hua Nongying said, "In times of chaos, there will always be those who are born to uphold the Heavenly Mandate. We can do anything for you, sir, hoping that if one day you reach the very summit, you would be lenient towards the Hehuan Sect."
"So that's your plan."
Chen Mu said indifferently, "I have been targeted by the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, afflicted by Demonic Qi. I may not even be able to cross the Mysterious Pass again, let alone talk of a Heavenly Mandate or reaching the peak, which is even more unattainable. Perhaps you would have served me in vain and would end up with nothing."
Hua Nongying smiled and said, "Where in the world can you find a business with no capital? Moreover, sir, by saying that, I am even more convinced that you will break through the Mysterious Pass and become a Qiankun Grandmaster within fifteen years."
Hua Nongyue also softly said, "Sir, you rose from obscurity, never belittling the insignificant... At least, sir, you won't be like those merciless ones who use and exploit us sisters to death. Even if that truly were the case, we sisters would accept it."
Chen Mu swept her a glance, momentarily annoyed.
What use and exploitation to death, wasn't that the usual tactic of the Hehuan Sect themselves? What did she mean by 'would accept if truly encountered'? This kind of deflecting skill indeed had the taste of the Hehuan Sect; it wasn't like the Hehuan twins had had a change of heart on the spot.
"To work for me, merely with your words, it is impossible for me to trust you."
Chen Mu said calmly, looking at the two sisters.
Hearing Chen Mu's words, Hua Nongying took the initiative to step closer, her cheeks slightly blushing, and whispered, "My sister and I, as long as we are within a certain distance, can have an interlinked mindset and connected feelings, the closer we get, the clearer it becomes..."
Who asked you that?
Chen Mu gave Hua Nongying an annoyed look, confirming that the Hehuan Sect was indeed still the Hehuan Sect.
"Go find 'Tai Qing Qi', 'Southern Bright Flame', and 'Sea Calming Pearl' for me."
Chen Mu said slowly to Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue.
With his current status, taking the Divine Soaring Stone from the Seven Profound Sect would not be hindered by anyone. He was now short of only these three materials to refine the Qiankun Spirit Weapon. With the help of the Hehuan twins Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue to search and gather intelligence, the chances of collecting all of them were much higher.
As his voice died away, in the silent hall, only Hua Nongying blinked, and behind her, Hua Nongyue, whose cheeks were also tinged with a hint of peach, blinked in the exact same manner.
