Chapter 560 Aren’t You Afraid of Capsizing?

"It's not like that, but this matter is of great importance. I think I need to give an explanation to His Majesty." Pei Xuanjing shook his head and said.

No matter what, no matter how much effort he put into the promotion of the Ming Dynasty, even if he was in charge of the second volume of the Golden Book and Jade Book, he had a part of the shares in the Ming Dynasty.

But it is undeniable that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Houcong. He and the civil and military officials behind him are the driving force behind the continuous prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. They have devoted countless efforts and sweat to the strength of the Ming Dynasty in the past few decades.

No matter what their purpose is, the Ming Dynasty is the crystallization of their efforts and the harvest of their hard work. As an outsider, Pei Xuanjing, who is just a national teacher, must not make decisions on his own. Even if he thinks that this choice is beneficial to the current Ming Dynasty, he cannot make a decision without communicating with the other party. This is not in line with Pei Xuanjing's principles of life.

Moreover, in many things, especially when it comes to the division of interests, Pei Xuanjing knows that no one is willing to give up the interests they have already obtained, so if he makes a decision alone, it will inevitably attract many people's complaints.

"Master Pei is overthinking. I have always remembered Master Pei's kindness in my heart and I dare not forget it." Zhu Houcong said seriously.

No matter how much he and the ministers and elders are afraid of Pei Xuanjing's existence, and how many times they have tried to eliminate Pei Xuanjing's influence. But he also knows how much Pei Xuanjing has contributed to the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, in terms of the current situation, they cannot do without Pei Xuanjing's existence. Pei Xuanjing has a huge role in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the next situation, they cannot be separated, which is harmful to the Ming Dynasty.

And Zhu Houcong also knows that it is painful to give up this interest, but it is also a necessary move, otherwise they will face more opponents and enemies, and the situation will become more chaotic.

Pei Xuanjing smiled and stopped talking. He knew the other party's concerns, and he knew that he had a deep entanglement with the Ming Dynasty, which could not be separated by a few words.

What's more, for Pei Xuanjing, the Ming Dynasty was his second hometown, and he promoted the Ming Dynasty by himself, which was also the result of his hard work. What's more, his relatives and friends also lived here, blessed and protected by the Ming Dynasty. As long as he didn't want to break off his feelings, he would not choose to give up these things.

After dealing with this matter, Pei Xuanjing set his eyes on Wu Shijiu and said, "Now Pei is curious about why Mr. Wu is still here."

The first thing he came to deal with tonight was already done, that is, to appease Zhu Houcong and let the other party agree to make concessions when necessary.

The second thing he had to do was to communicate with Wu Shijiu.

Although he didn't know much about Wu Shijiu before, when he saw that he had recovered to the eighth level of the spiritual realm, he knew that the deal they made was a joke.

Wu Shijiu said that he helped the Great Ming Dynasty to advance, hoping that one day Pei Xuanjing could resist some troubles for him and protect him after the many forces in the Tianhuang Realm returned.

But now, Pei Xuanjing is sure that the other party is just an excuse. After all, with Wu Shijiu's strength of the eighth level of the spiritual realm, the troubles he encountered must be not small. The person who can make him afraid should be at least the eighth or even ninth level of the spiritual realm.

Even if Wu Shijiu thought at the beginning, even if he was optimistic about them and thought that the Great Ming Dynasty had potential, he would not think that the Great Ming Dynasty would have the strength to fight against the eighth and ninth levels of the spiritual realm in just a few decades.

"Haha, now that the Great Ming Dynasty is thriving, Wu is going to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Is the national teacher afraid of the trouble Wu will bring?" Wu Shijiu said with a smile.

He knew that Pei Xuanjing had seen through his original purpose, but he didn't care. Instead, he said frankly that he had changed his mind.

Pei Xuanjing was surprised by his frank answer: "It seems that you are ready to board our ship?"

"Yes!" Wu Shijiu nodded.

He had indeed made a decision. After all, both the Ming Dynasty and Pei Xuanjing were full of mystery and potential, and it was worth his attempts.

"What if the ship capsized one day?" Pei Xuanjing asked back.

Although he was so calm and composed, as if he had everything in mind, Pei Xuanjing knew very well that nothing in the world would go as smoothly as he thought in his heart, and sometimes there would inevitably be some accidents.

So even if he didn't dare to be completely sure of something in his heart, where did the other party get the confidence to believe that he could laugh to the end?

"Sometimes Wu wants to take a gamble. If he loses, he loses. At least Wu doesn't regret it." Wu Shijiu said confidently.

Wu Shijiu is very clear about his current situation. If he does not return to his ancestral land, he will inevitably face the endless pursuit of the Wushen Cult.

And facing the pursuit of a top force, ordinary forces dare not take them in and protect them. Even some top forces will not easily go against the Wushen Cult for themselves. So he is actually in a bad situation.

Originally, he wanted to recover his strength first, and then make other plans. But now, by chance, he met the Ming Dynasty and Pei Xuanjing. Judging from the potential of these two parties, as long as they do not collapse in the middle, they will definitely have a place in this world in the future.

Therefore, if he could establish friendship with the other party and get their support at this opportunity, he would be more calm and composed when facing the Wushen Cult in the future, and he might be able to get back many of his own things.

Without waiting for Pei Xuanjing to speak, he took the initiative to say: "I wonder if your majesty and the national teacher have any knowledge of the Wushen Cult?"

Hearing him say this, Pei Xuanjing's deep eyes could not see his expression, and he did not speak immediately.

Pei Xuanjing did not know much about the top forces in the Tianhuang Realm, and these top forces were too mysterious, and ordinary cultivators could not contact them at all, let alone the Wushen Cult, which was originally a very mysterious force.

Zhu Houcong's eyes flashed with a strange color. He and Wu Shijiu had a lot of contact over the years, and he also learned a lot of secrets of various forces in the Tianhuang Realm from him, but Wu Shijiu seemed reluctant to mention the Wushen Cult where Wu Shijiu came from, and always avoided talking about it whenever he mentioned it.

Now hearing the other party take the initiative to mention it, Zhu Houcong's first reaction was that Wu Shijiu must have some purpose, otherwise he would not take the initiative to speak about it.
