Chapter 1,385: Theory of Value

In front of the silent table, Bai Chen stared at the smiling Zhang Tianshi. After a while, he smiled calmly: "It turns out that Master Tianshi specially invited me here to lobby for Tianxu League."

"Ah? No, no, Mr. Tianzhi, don't misunderstand. Since my Tianshi Mansion is one of the three pillars of the empire together with Zhaotian Temple and Dragon King Mansion, we will naturally not participate in the dispute between the two alliances. I just heard some news, so I am a little curious, what choice will you make, Mr. Tianzhi."

Curious?

Heh...

Bai Chen took the wine pot casually, poured a glass of wine, and then put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

This action fell into the eyes of Zhang Tianshi and Xiuyu, making both of them smile.

It turns out that he likes wine...

He picked up the cup and did not toast to Zhang Tianshi, but drank it all by himself. Feeling the refreshing taste in his stomach, Bai Chen's smile became a little deeper: "The God King of Wanchao Pavilion is the highest leader of Wanchao Pavilion, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Tianshi responded.

"In that case, he has sent out all the Wanchao Pavilion. Such a big move, how can it not attract the attention of Xingchen Pavilion? You should also know that Xingchen Pavilion is not only invincible in the Northern Territory, but also looks at Xinglan Continent and is not afraid of anyone. It is still difficult to predict who will be the final winner between Tianxu League and Tianwu League."

"..."

Bai Chen's words also expressed the worries in Zhang Tianshi's heart.

Since Zhang Tianshi was forced to join Tianxu League, he has been worried all day long. He knows how strong Xingchen Pavilion is. The Xuanwu Emperor alone is probably the strongest existence in the world. Can he have a good end if he goes against such a force?

As for Wanchao Pavilion, its actions have always been secretive. What kind of strength their God King has and whether he can compete with the Xuanwu Emperor are all unknown.

So Zhang Tianshi is very afraid that he has chosen the wrong path. Now he is even more uneasy after hearing Bai Chen's words.

"Mr. Tianzhi, how did you choose?"

Hearing Zhang Tianshi's sincere question, Bai Chen narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "As for me, I will not choose for the time being."

"Ah?" Zhang Tianshi was stunned: "Not choosing?"

Bai Chen smiled, filled another glass of wine, and drank it all: "Master Tianshi, let me ask you, if Tianxu League lets you join now, you join, then how high do you think your status in Tianxu League can be?"

"This..."

Zhang Tianshi's eyelids twitched.

Since he joined Tianxu League, he was like a dog that Tianxu League let loose outside, let alone status, he didn't even have a name.

Before, he was at least one of the three pillars of the empire, a favorite of His Majesty the Emperor, and a force that Tianxu League and Tianwu League were unwilling to offend easily, but because of his hasty choice, he ended up with no one paying attention to him.

Even if his family is now in decline, Tianxu League did not lend him a helping hand.

Seeing that Zhang Tianshi's face was not looking good, Bai Chen continued to smile and said, "Humans always have a bad habit. The more unattainable something is, the better it is. If I want to get the status I deserve, I, Bai, must naturally improve my value. How high this value is, depends on which of the two forces is more sincere."

"Value?"

"Yes, otherwise do you think Emperor Wu and Emperor Xu will fight for me just because I, Bai, am handsome enough?"

"Uh..."

"Master Tianshi, you and I know Tianwu and Tianxu, as well as the forces behind them. It is still impossible to judge which one is stronger or weaker, but there is one thing I can be sure of, that is... no matter which side I choose, they will win in the end, and this is my own value!"

It is rumored in Feihong Palace that Tianzhixing will soon come down to earth and the world will be unified...

Zhang Tianshi's old face was gloomy and uncertain. Thinking back to the prophecy of Feihong Palace, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Although his strength is at the two-star Heavenly Dao Realm, he has no ability to influence the outcome of Tianxu and Tianwu. However, the young man in front of him, although he is weak and born with a cold body, can change the fate of the empire.

In terms of fighting, in his eyes, it is as simple as moving a finger to crush Bai Chen to death, but in terms of value, he and Bai Chen really cannot be compared together, because he has no such qualifications at all!

Looking down at the table of mushy dishes, Bai Chen slowly stood up and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that there is only good wine but no delicious food. Master Tianshi, I have something else to do, so I will go back first."

"Sir, are you leaving now?" Zhang Tianshi was startled.

With his back to Master Zhang, Bai Chen looked up at the misty sky and said calmly: "As a thank you gift for being invited today, I advise Master Tianshi that you can make the wrong choice, but you still have the opportunity to make a new choice. If you make the same mistake again and again, even the gods in the sky can't save you~"

Watching Bai Chen and Xiaoyou leave, Master Zhang Tianshi was stunned on the chair, still savoring Bai Chen's last words.

"Master, he has no intention of joining the Tianxu League at all. What should we do next?" Xiu Yu asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Master Zhang Tianshi clenched his fists and gritted his yellow teeth: "Can't make a mistake on top of a mistake? Haha, I'm already on the pirate ship now. With the style of the Void Emperor, how could he let me get off the ship! Once you take the first step on this road, there is no turning back. However, Mr. Tianzhi's so-called value theory is actually to see who is more sincere between the Wu Emperor and the Void Emperor, and my value is to help Master Void Emperor get Mr. Tianzhi... In this way, I will have a place in the Tianxu League!"

...

Bai Chen brought Xiao You all the way to the wilderness outside Beiju. Xiao You put down the stove and looked at Bai Chen in surprise: "Master, what kind of person is Zhang Tianshi? I thought he would want to take you in like Long Ao!"

"If it was the previous Zhang Tianshi, he might do this, but now that he has joined the Tianxu League, he naturally dare not establish himself as king. However, I am afraid that Beiju Luzhou will never be peaceful again."

"Master, do you mean that people from the Tianxu League will come?!"

"Well, not only the Tianxu League, but also the Tianwu League will come. From the moment I took action to disperse the wealth of the Tianshi Mansion, my name will definitely appear in the hands of the secret sentinels of Tianxu and Tianwu!"
