Chapter 624: Chapter 514 Golden Elixir Zhao Family_1

With such thoughts in mind, He Song felt no burden in concealing his true identity.

Especially when he sensed that the situation ahead might be fraught with peril.

He Song naturally chose to hide his identity to avoid any potential troubles that could tarnish his reputation.

The way the Zhao family members welcomed him so ceremoniously led He Song to believe there surely was more than meets the eye.

After all, they were all at the Golden Core stage.

Why would True Monarch Fei Hu and his Golden Core Family underlings treat him so?

Such an attitude towards an unfamiliar Golden Elixir Master was indeed unusual.

With these thoughts, He Song came to a decision after speaking.

If True Monarch Fei Hu indeed had intentions as He Song suspected, and wanted him to do something,

then He Song would surely need to weigh his options carefully.

No matter how simple or difficult, or even extremely troublesome yet not dangerous the task True Monarch Fei Hu spoke of might be, he had to handle it with utmost caution.

The best course of action would probably be to directly refuse.

In that case, even if there were any pitfalls involved, he would be able to avoid them.

These thoughts flickered through his mind but He Song’s expression remained unchanged as he continued to exchange pleasantries with the True Monarch Fei Hu in front of him.

Upon hearing He Song’s words, True Monarch Fei Hu’s eyes instantly brightened.

“Oh? What a coincidence, my dharma title also contains the word ‘Fei,’ which suggests that fate has brought us together,” True Monarch Fei Hu said.

With True Monarch Fei Hu speaking thus, the several Zhao Family Foundation Establishment cultivators nearby were quick to praise.

They claimed that He Song and their Zhao family were destined, and it was something to celebrate.

Once the atmosphere was adequately set.

True Monarch Fei Hu continued.

” Fellow Daoist has come from afar, you must be tired.”

“This is not a place for a lengthy conversation, please come with me to the Zhao family estate. I have already prepared a feast to welcome and refresh you.”

With that said, True Monarch Fei Hu turned to look at He Song.

His eyes were full of joy, as if he was delighted to see He Song.

But deep within his gaze lurked an inquiring intent.

Whether He Song had indeed come from afar was something neither he nor the other Golden Elixir Masters in Zichuan Prefecture Government knew.

Although his words seemed like an invitation, they were also a form of probing.

If He Song agreed, it would mean that he truly had come from afar, merely passing through this place by chance.

His subsequent probing would then be based on this premise.

However, if He Song reacted differently, the situation would obviously change.

He Song’s response would determine how True Monarch Fei Hu would proceed with his next steps of probing.

But just as True Monarch Fei Hu’s gaze fell upon He Song, anticipating his answer,

He Song waved his hand in apparent indifference and said,

“Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. As a Golden Elixir Master, my cultivation isn’t particularly profound, but it is not insignificant either. With such a power level, how can one speak of fatigue?”

“Though I have indeed traveled a long journey to arrive at this esteemed place, the landscape here is infinitely delightful, and the Purple River in particular has left me enchanted.”

“Such a land of outstanding individuals and exceptional beauty, how could I not enjoy it? How could I be fatigued?”

“Nevertheless, what you say is true, this is not the place for a conversation.”

“Thus, I thank you for your kind hospitality, Fellow Daoist; please, lead the way.”

He Song pretended not to understand True Monarch Fei Hu’s probing and, pretending to be unworldly, heaped praise upon the scenery of the Purple River before casually mentioning his journey from afar to True Monarch Fei Hu.

Furthermore, in his speech, He Song deliberately stated that the cultivation of a Golden Elixir Master is not particularly profound, but it is not insignificant either.

This assertion was made with purpose.

Which Golden Elixir Master, raised in a major power, would think their cultivation not particularly profound, yet not insignificant?

At least, for loose cultivators and members of smaller Golden Core sects, a Golden Elixir Master is akin to a heavenly existence.

Golden Elixir Masters from such circles would never speak in such terms.

Only those from a Nascent Soul Upper Sect or comparably powerful sects, realizing their place, would etch this into their hearts.

For within a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, Golden Elixir Masters are numerous, and Ancestor Yuanyings preside over them.

In such forces, the cultivation of a Golden Elixir Master is naturally not seen as particularly profound.

Yet, even within a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, Golden Elixir Masters’ cultivation is not negligible.

He Song spoke in such a way merely to shape his persona, hinting to True Monarch Fei Hu that he was likely from a powerful background.

Thereby, even if He Song made any missteps in the future, he might still have some leeway for himself.

Besides, whether cultivator or mortal, one tends to harbor sentimental feelings about their homeland.

He Song’s compliments towards the scenic beauty of the Purple River might not significantly endear him to True Monarch Fei Hu, but at the very least it would show his appreciation for the journey, differing from other Golden Elixir Masters who may rush about.

This was more fitting with the persona of someone from a major power.

Moreover, his words inadvertently addressed True Monarch Fei Hu’s probe.

True Monarch Fei Hu instantly realized that He Song was indeed a traveler from afar and not a resident who had established his cave mansion in Zichuan or the surrounding Immortal States.
