Chapter 2187: Chapter 2183: Drink a Toast or Face the Penalty_1 Chapter 2187: Chapter 2183: Drink a Toast or Face the Penalty_1 Yang Chen was not that easy to fool, and he calmly said, “Elder Zhang, it’s indeed a great honor for me, a junior, to be acquainted with you.”

With that, Yang Chen effortlessly refuted Zhang Wudao’s words.

It was a joke. First, he didn’t even know whether he would accept the woman Zhang Wudao sent, let alone touch her.

Secondly, Zhang Wudao intended to suppress him. If Yang Chen didn’t have any knowledge or skills, he would have been sold by Zhang Wudao directly.

“Oh, Yang Chen, my young friend, you’re too polite. I never considered you an outsider.” Zhang Wudao, seeing Yang Chen distancing himself, still tried to get closer.

Yang Chen felt that Zhang Wudao was a bit too friendly with him.

Unprovoked offers of help usually indicate a hidden agenda.

He became more cautious and continued, “Senior is joking. I have a few matters that I don’t understand and I hope senior can help me answer.”

“Alright, Yang Chen, my friend, please ask.” Zhang Wudao said.

“First of all, what is your purpose for borrowing this Dao Intent?” Yang Chen asked curiously, “Since you are here to borrow Dao Intent from me, you must have investigated in advance what kind of Dao Intent you want to borrow, right?”

Zhang Wudao had obviously thought about how to respond and laughed, “You see, Yang Chen, my friend, there’s something you don’t know. During the Star Gazing Conference, some stars have very strict requirements for Dao Intent, like the Special Dao Intent that you, Yang Chen, have. It would be very popular. As long as you lend it to me, having the Special Dao Intent, there is a possibility that I can attract the favor of some Ancient Stars during the Conference. People of external forces rarely know about this. Only we, the people of Luo Star Island, have some knowledge about it.”

After listening to this, Yang Chen chuckled, “So, senior intends to borrow my Special Dao Intent, right?”

“That’s right.” Zhang Wudao said.

After hearing this, Yang Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, and kept a calm smile on his face, “If I lend my Special Dao Intent to senior, what about myself?”

“Yang Chen, don’t be hasty. You’re still young, and you can wait for the next Star Gazing Conference for these inheritances. Why be hasty about a few dozen years?” Zhang Wudao casually brushed off the question, smiling, “And, I will give you a lot of rewards. You won’t be treated unfairly for lending this Special Dao Intent.”

Yang Chen sneered in his heart.

He knew what was going on.

Zhang Wudao’s intention was simple.

Lend me your Special Dao Intent, and I’ll reward you with something of equal value.

However, it seems Zhang Wudao didn’t think about how many years Yang Chen would have to delay before he could start his second Star Gazing Conference.

Although he never planned to lend his Dao Intent to Zhang Wudao, Zhang’s words made Yang Chen realize the type of person Zhang truly was.

What a joke, Zhang’s words were outrageous, easily asking him to give up on this Star Gazing Conference.

Yang Chen maintained his composure and continued asking, “Then, why did you ask me, a junior, to lend you Dao Intent instead of asking those Enlightenment Stage Experts?”

“Well…” Zhang Wudao hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Yang Chen calmly said, “If senior doesn’t explain this matter to me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to satisfy senior’s request to borrow Dao Intent.”

Zhang Wudao’s eyes became cold upon listening to Yang Chen’s sharp observation.

He was surprised that Yang Chen was so careful.

He originally thought that a few casual words and his status as a Nirvana Stage Expert would be enough for Yang Chen to agree and curry favor with him.

But Yang Chen was more savvy than he thought, discerning the pros and cons, leaving Zhang Wudao at a loss for how to proceed.

Zhang Wudao, unable to find a way out, finally spoke truthfully, “Well, it’s a long story. It’s like this: the longer the Dao Intent is in harmony with the cultivator’s body, the harder it is to extract.”

“Like myself, who just entered the Enlightenment Stage not long ago and has a very proficient Special Dao Intent, I would be the most suitable candidate for senior’s borrowing Dao Intent technique, right?” Yang Chen said.

“Ah, yes, exactly.” Zhang Wudao clapped his hands, “Yang Chen, my young friend, you really are smart.”

At this point, Yang Chen didn’t hold back his contempt and revealed a cold smile, “So, if everything goes as expected and I actually lend my Dao Intent to senior, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it back.”

“You…how can you say that?” Zhang Wudao narrowed his eyes, wondering how Yang Chen knew about it.

Yang Chen sarcastically said, “The younger the Dao Intent, the easier it is to extract from the body and the weaker its connection with the host. When it’s borrowed by a senior, will I still be the master of this Dao Intent?”

“Yang Chen, your words are a bit excessive. Am I, Zhang Wudao, someone who only borrows and never returns?” Zhang Wudao’s expression darkened.

“Are you willing to swear, then?” Yang Chen challenged.

“I swear, as long as I borrow your Dao Intent, I will definitely return it.” Zhang Wudao agreed without much thought.

“I’m asking you to swear, can you guarantee that your previous intention was to definitely return it after borrowing?” Yang Chen’s tone was icy.

Zhang Wudao remained silent, not daring to speak.

“Are you willing to swear, senior?” Yang Chen pressed on.

Zhang Wudao didn’t hesitate because he didn’t want to swear, but because his intention was actually to not return Yang Chen’s Dao Intent after borrowing it.

As long as he got hold of this Special Dao Intent, his position in the Nirvana Stage would rise significantly, which would allow him to receive some special inheritances. It might not even be impossible for him to reach the Heavenly Venerate Dao in the future.

As for Yang Chen, who had lost his Special Dao Intent, what authority would he have in front of a Heavenly Venerate?

His status would undoubtedly plummet.

So what if he was wronged a bit?

As long as he had absolute power, Yang Chen couldn’t cause any trouble.

Therefore, he had carefully planned this, first by pleasing Yang Chen, then suppressing him, in order to win him over psychologically and ultimately borrow the Dao Intent successfully.

However, he didn’t expect Yang Chen to be so cunning.

“Yang Chen, I think there might be some misunderstandings between us.” Zhang Wudao tried to salvage the situation.

“Forget it, Elder. Let’s leave some face for each other. You may leave.” Yang Chen gestured.

Since coming to Luo Star Island, he had gained a deeper understanding of human nature.

Compared to Zhang Wudao, Bai Ying and Jiang Beisheng were like child’s play. Zhang Wudao was truly cunning and ruthless.

Zhang Wudao glared at Yang Chen, his eyes now filled with anger, “Yang Chen, are you refusing me?”

“What, is elder planning to use force?” Yang Chen sarcastically said.

“Hmph, Yang Chen, you’re getting ahead of yourself. I, Zhang Wudao, kindly asked to borrow your Dao Intent, because I value you. Do you think I would mistreat you? You’ve now refused the toast and chosen the penalty!” Zhang Wudao said coldly.

“Zhang Wudao, you can leave now.” Seeing Zhang Wudao’s true colors, Yang Chen no longer cared about leaving him face and gestured for him to go.
