Twin Dimension Yin-Yang Mirror: Attaining immortality through the martial path

Chapter 834: Chapter 645 Internal Disagreements + Chapter 646 Empty-handed

When others speak politely, Zhou Ping’an has always been gentle and follows suit with politeness.

He wouldn’t make things awkward for people face-to-face.

Remaining seated, he waited as Zhao Wuque filled the wine cup to the brim, took it, drained it in one swift motion, and placed his palm vaguely over the cup before smiling and saying, “Under normal circumstances, a thousand taels of silver is quite a generous sum. But for someone like me, who lacks neither food nor drink, greed is not my strong suit.

However, there’s a saying: ‘A man without integrity shall not stand.’ When Zhou Ping’an first ventured into Southern Lake, the word across Jianghu proclaimed that the Zhao Family promised—alongside gold, silver, and official titles—one particular item as the most important reward for fulfilling the task. That item is none other than the Heavenly Star Stone…

Back then, your words were clear: escort one person to Jingxi City to enter the Heavenly Martial Prince Mansion for inheritance rites, and as a reward, provide one Heavenly Star Stone per person, up to a maximum of ten stones. My companions and I did not fail our mission, delivering eight exceptional youths safely, without a single loss along the way. By that logic, eight stones should be prepared. So, I ask—have these Heavenly Star Stones been made ready?”

As Zhou Ping’an calmly recounted the details of the previous mission, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed drastically.

The Old Madam’s face became visibly displeased.

The faint trace of warmth in her gaze completely transformed into indifference.
