Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong
Chapter 817 - 818 Persuasion by the Great Hall Master (3rd Release!)

"Build a good relationship? With that commoner?"

Wu Yong furrowed his brows, gritting his teeth, "It’s already good enough that I’m not causing him trouble, and you want me to befriend him?"

"Foolish!"

Wu Qing’s eyes widened, "If that kid really joins the Primordial Spirit Alliance, he will certainly receive great attention. His future achievements will be beyond measure! Such a person, instead of making a good connection, you think about causing trouble? It’s simply ridiculous!"

"But..."

"No buts!"

Wu Qing interrupted Wu Yong, his tone unprecedentedly severe, "If you can’t even tell the importance of this, then you’d better give up the idea of entering the Primordial Spirit Alliance. I’ll take you back to the Sky-shaking Cliff right now!"

"Second Uncle, nephew was wrong! Nephew will listen to you!"

Wu Yong was terrified and hurriedly changed his attitude. Joining the Primordial Spirit Alliance was his best shortcut to reaching a higher realm and becoming a powerhouse. How could he possibly give up because of a grudge with Sun Wukong?

"It’s good if you really understood it!"

Wu Qing, still not entirely reassured, warned again. He knew Wu Yong’s character too well, fearing he would comply outwardly but oppose inwardly, continuing to cause trouble for Sun Wukong within the Primordial Spirit Alliance — that would be truly disastrous!

One wrong move could bring great calamity to the Wu Family!

No, when the time comes, I must find an opportunity to get close to Sun Wukong, at least not let Sun Wukong bear a grudge against the Wu Family because of Wu Yong!

At the rear garden Water Pavilion Terrace of the Primordial Spirit Hall.

"Come, young friend, try this Jade Spirit Wine that I brought. It’s brewed with Jade Spirit Blue Fruits and seven types of Spirit Fruits. It will greatly benefit your cultivation!"

The Great Hall Master warmly poured a full glass of wine for Sun Wukong, even changing his address from "this hall" to "this old man".

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow slightly but did not immediately pick up the wine glass. Instead, he looked at the Great Hall Master with a wary face, without saying a word.

"What, young friend, are you afraid this old man poisoned the wine?"

"Great Hall Master, you jest. If you want to harm me, is there even a need to poison the wine? I just don’t understand, with your status and cultivation, why are you being so courteous to me? It’s undeserved favors, if you don’t explain, I dare not drink this wine casually!"

The wine was indeed good, much better than the Fighting Victorious Wine!

Of course, this wasn’t to say that the brewing method of Jade Spirit Wine was superior to Fighting Victorious Wine, but the ingredients were much higher grade. If Sun Wukong were given the same Spirit Fruits, he would undoubtedly brew a wine far superior to Jade Spirit Wine!

Sun Wukong knew in his heart that the Jade Spirit Wine the Great Hall Master poured for him was undoubtedly beneficial for his cultivation, but he wouldn’t be easily bought with just a glass of wine without understanding the other’s real intentions!

"Young friend, you are indeed quite cautious! I’ve reviewed your records. Your name is Sun Wukong, from the Monkey Tribe, right?"

The Great Hall Master smiled, not angered by Sun Wukong’s comments.

Sun Wukong nodded.

"In the Yuan Realm, there are many races, but it seems the Monkey Tribe has never seen someone with a Chaos Physique like you. This makes me quite surprised. I suppose your physique wasn’t innate but gained through some fortune later, isn’t that right?"

The Great Hall Master’s words made Sun Wukong’s eyelid twitch. What does this old man intend to do? Could he be coveting my Chaos Battle Body?

"Please don’t misunderstand, young friend. I have no intention of prying into your privacy!"

Seeing Sun Wukong’s displeased expression, the Great Hall Master immediately understood. Sun Wukong had misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "What I meant was, your physique is not innate among the Monkey Tribe, and you haven’t joined any sect or faction, correct?"

"That’s right, I haven’t joined any sect or faction, not because I can’t, but because I don’t want to! I am used to being free and unrestrained. If the Great Hall Master intends to persuade me to join the Primordial Spirit Alliance, then you’d better save your breath!"

While saying this, Sun Wukong was already prepared to activate Streaming Light Escape at any sign of action from the Great Hall Master, leaving behind his External Incarnation to delay and recover later.

"Young friend, no need to be so hasty! I haven’t even spoken yet, how do you know you won’t be willing to join the Primordial Spirit Alliance after hearing me out?"

Sun Wukong’s reaction did not surprise the Great Hall Master, who had already deduced that Sun Wukong did not want to attract too much attention. Seeing the large number of people in the hall, he chose to leave.

If it weren’t for Wu Yong from the Wu Family of Sky-shaking Cliff mocking and humiliating Sun Wukong, the Great Hall Master wouldn’t have noticed this rough yet precious gem!

He even had to thank Wu Yong for his sharp-tongued provocation!

Since the Great Hall Master had spoken this way, Sun Wukong found it difficult to refuse, and even more difficult to flee immediately. Things hadn’t reached that point yet; if he fled now, there would be no turning back.

If he managed to escape, fine. But what if he didn’t?

"Alright, with the Great Hall Master’s kind invitation, I’ll listen to what you have to say!"

Seeing Sun Wukong relent, the Great Hall Master was pleased. As long as Sun Wukong was willing to listen to his persuasion, it was fine. The most feared were those like Pangu who wouldn’t listen to a word — dealing with such stubborn people was always frustrating!

"Young friend, if I’m not wrong, you should have ascended from a lesser world under the Yuan Realm, correct?"

Sun Wukong’s brow furrowed. This old man had sharp eyes to see through that!

Since he’d been seen through, Sun Wukong didn’t deny it, nodding, "Yes, I have just arrived in the Yuan Realm. So what?"

"Then it’s no wonder. No wonder you don’t understand our Primordial Spirit Alliance."

The Great Hall Master chuckled, "Our Primordial Spirit Alliance is different from other sects and factions. We do not strictly limit the freedom of alliance members. Members can continue to wander freely or join other sects or factions, as we don’t interfere. All we ask is to help when the alliance issues tasks."

"Of course, the tasks issued by the alliance come with rewards. We don’t let members work for free! And for those uniquely talented, our Primordial Spirit Alliance always seeks talent and offers the best nurturing!"

The Great Hall Master paused, "Now, do you still have any resistance to our Primordial Spirit Alliance?"

"No restrictions? That’s hard to believe. So what does your Primordial Spirit Alliance aim for?"

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow in disbelief. If this were true, why did the ancient Pangu refuse to join?

"Aim for what? Good question. You might think it sounds fake, but our Primordial Spirit Alliance aims to maintain the balance of the entire Yuan Realm!"
