From that perspective, he owed Chu Bamboo a favor. If he ever wanted to see that woman again—even just for a glimpse from afar—he would most likely need Chu Bamboo's help.
"My answer is yes!" Zhang Hai nodded, unperturbed. "I'll protect you. You have nothing to worry about."
"Oh... that has nothing to do with it. I just said that to build a little rapport," Chu Bamboo said, the corners of his eyes crinkling. "And let me be clear: on this matter, I'm negotiating with the God Worship Sect, not with you personally."
"Because on this matter... your God Worship Sect owes me a huge favor!"
Zhang Hai: "?"
Zhang Xu: "!!!"
Zhang Xu stared in disbelief. 'Did I hear that right?' He dug a finger in his ear and glanced at Chu Bamboo, only to find him looking as if what he'd said was perfectly natural. The sight left Zhang Xu utterly speechless.
'Reversed Celestial Spirit, is that what this is? You want us to protect you, and you want us to owe you a favor on top of it?'
