Chapter 40: Inheritance? Not interested!

“Eyes are blind but my heart is not. Cracking the formation was nothing,” she said lightly.

“Hahaha! Good! How interesting! ‘Eyes are blind but the heart is not’ indeed! I like candid girls like you! So much better than those who call you ‘Senior’ or ‘Master’ at the drop of the hat and who are openly respectful but secretly want me dead! Hahaha!”

That person’s voice sounded very eccentric with a somewhat deranged quality to it. Luo Qingtong listened to him but didn’t utter a single word.

Whether or not the other party was a lunatic or not, it had nothing to do with her.

“Lass, looking at you, you must’ve been harmed by someone, right?” That person let out a few hearty laughs before keeping his tone in check. He looked at her and said sinisterly, “It hasn’t been more than twelve hours since your eyes were poisoned! Although your clothes are exquisite and gorgeous, they’re torn and tattered! Seems like you’ve also been plotted against and hurt! And it was someone close to you.”

The voice sneered.

“So what? I’ll get my payback sooner or later,” Luo Qingtong remarked coldly.

Not everyone could see how much of a sorry state she was in.

“Haha! Good! Payback, indeed! I like arrogant lasses like you!”

The voice turned crazy again.

The next moment, his tone abruptly changed.

“Lass, since you and I were brought together by fate, are you willing to inherit my sect? I don’t need you to do anything except clear the name of our Immortal Palace of Death someday!”

“Not interested,” Luo Qingtong replied indifferently.

This old fogey, trying to trick me?

The name “Immortal Palace of Death” has such a sinister aura about it. It’s either an evil sect or a victim!

Since he wants me to clear his name, it means it’s the latter!

Looking at the imposing manner in which the gorgeous palace appeared and considering how powerful the Beast of Heaven was, this person’s enemy was probably no ordinary person as well.

She must be crazy if she agreed to take on such a huge problem!

“Hahaha!”

As soon as her words came out, that voice sounded even happier!

“Good good good! I didn’t misjudge you! If you replied that you wanted it, you would be a corpse now! Hahaha!”

The voice sounded deranged like it was crying but also laughing. There was a sharpness to it amidst the eccentricity and hearing it would’ve made one’s hair stand on end.

However, it didn’t bother Luo Qingtong in the least bit.

She had heard voices that were hundreds of times more terrifying than this. This was nothing.

“Lass, you’re fantastic! I like you very much! Don’t be so quick to say no! Do you know what kind of place the Immortal Palace of Death is? It’s a Sacred Immortal Land!”

“As long as you inherit my Immortal Palace of Death, no one here can get in your way!”

“The Seven Wilderness in the North, the Three Islands of Penglai! These are places that you people revere as godly places! Compared to the Immortal Palace of Death, they’re nothing!”

The voice grew increasingly more agitated as it said this.

Luo Qingtong didn’t have the heart to tell him that she completely didn’t understand any of the things he was talking about!

They weren’t in the memories of this body’s original owner.

But this Sacred Immortal Land sounds pretty awesome!

Too bad. I’m the master of my own destiny!

Whatever I want, I’ll get on my own!

If I don’t want it, nobody can force me!

“Old man, save your breath! I’m really not interested in inheriting your Immortal Palace of Death. Please open the door and let me leave. Right now, there should be many people running over here. There will surely be someone who fits your criteria better.”

“As for this huge problem, excuse me for rejecting.”

“That won’t do! I only want you!”

Hearing Luo Qingtong’s reply, the owner of that voice was pissed off.

This stupid lass! After I told her so many things, was I just preaching to deaf ears?!

“Do you have any idea of the benefits of succeeding the Immortal Palace of Death? You will be able to look down on this world!”

Then be chased and killed by your stronger enemies, right?

Wow, thank you! I don’t need that! Seriously, I don’t need that!

The corners of Luo Qingtong’s eyes twitched. She was about to reply when she heard the old man’s voice again.
