Chapter 2808: Chapter 2808: I’ll Cry for You

"Boy, you’ve been following our grandfather-granddaughter duo along the way; what exactly are your intentions?"

The gaunt old man sized up Fang Bai from head to toe, raising his two white brows as he asked.

Although Fang Bai hadn’t had any contact with the gaunt old man and his granddaughter, he guessed they weren’t unreasonable people. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have tolerated his stalking all the way and would have acted against him much earlier.

So when the gaunt old man appeared in front of him, he was only slightly surprised and then answered, "I have something to discuss with you... something good!"

The gaunt old man grinned and said, "Oh? Well, tell me, what good news do you have for us?"

Fang Bai cleared his throat and said, "Didn’t you get a Spatial Divine Ring from the body of that Divine King Realm Giant Clan member? I’m an Array Master; I can help you remove the seal and obtain the cultivation resources inside the ring."

This time, the gaunt old man really looked at Fang Bai with new eyes, stroking his beard as he said, "At such a young age... you are actually an Array Master? Can you really break the sealing formation on this Spatial Divine Ring? I’m very busy, so don’t play games with me!"

Fang Bai said, "I am at the True God Realm cultivation level, whereas you are at the Divine King Realm level. Squishing me to death would be easier than squishing an ant for you. I wouldn’t dare to fool you unless I was seeking my own demise."

The gaunt old man nodded and said, "That makes sense. Alright, follow me to the starship! By the way, I also have something to talk to you about... Hmm, a good thing!"

Fang Bai then followed the gaunt old man as they flew to his starship.

The yellow-clothed girl Rongrong was standing at the bow, and upon seeing Fang Bai, she couldn’t help but blush slightly as she recalled her grandfather’s words about finding her a partner. Curiously, she scrutinized Fang Bai.

"Hmm, he does have an Innate Spiritual Root and looks quite handsome. His age should be similar to mine; I just wonder about his character and whether he has a partner..."

Rongrong’s gaze lingered on Fang Bai, and internally, she was quite satisfied with him.

Fang Bai noticed Rongrong staring at him incessantly, but how could he know the thoughts of this grandfather-granddaughter duo?

He nodded and smiled at Rongrong, then addressed the gaunt old man, "You mentioned you have a good thing to discuss with me; what is it exactly?"

The gaunt old man chuckled, and instead of responding, he asked, "Do you have a partner?"

Fang Bai was taken aback, unable to understand why he was asked this, and casually replied, "I do."

Upon hearing this, Rongrong’s expression dimmed, thinking to herself, "He actually already has a partner, so what should I do now?"

The gaunt old man glanced at his granddaughter’s expression, sensing she had some interest in Fang Bai, he said, "Having a partner is not a problem; just get rid of her! Let my granddaughter be your partner!"

Rongrong stomped her foot angrily, "Grandfather, you’re speaking nonsense again!"

She knew that forcing things wouldn’t yield sweetness, and she didn’t wish to break up Fang Bai and his partner just to become his. Doing so would be too domineering.

The gaunt old man advised, "Rongrong, finding a suitable partner is not easy; don’t miss the opportunity! I think in many aspects, this boy is quite suitable for you!"

Fang Bai didn’t expect the gaunt old man’s "good thing" to be this, internally laughing bitterly.

He truly feared the gaunt old man might use his Divine King Realm cultivation to force him into taking the yellow-clothed girl as his partner, so he quickly shifted the topic, addressing the gaunt old man, "Where is your Spatial Divine Ring? Let me see if I can remove the formation seal."

The gaunt old man blew his beard and glared, saying, "No way! First, clarify this matter, then we’ll talk about the Spatial Divine Ring!"

Just as he finished speaking, Rongrong had already rushed forward, taking the Spatial Divine Ring from her grandfather’s finger and placing it into Fang Bai’s hand, saying, "Here! The Spatial Divine Ring from the Giant Clan corpse is inside my grandfather’s ring. If you can break the seal and take out the cultivation resources inside, I’ll decide to give you half!"

The gaunt old man nearly jumped up, exclaiming, "Half? Rongrong, you’re crazy!"

The Spatial Divine Ring of a Divine King Realm expert surely contained a vast amount of cultivation resources, and even half of it was considerable. The gaunt old man, if it were up to him, would have been generous to give Fang Bai even a tenth, and yet his granddaughter had promised half so boldly.

The gaunt old man knew his granddaughter very well; if she hadn’t taken a liking to Fang Bai, she wouldn’t be so generous as to offer him half.

It’s just that feelings are mutual; his granddaughter favors Fang Bai, but he already has a partner and doesn’t seem interested in this matter.

This made the gaunt old man quite upset.

Thus, he decided that no matter what, he would facilitate this matter between his granddaughter and Fang Bai. In the future, upon locating Fang Bai’s partner, he could resort to threats or inducements, ensuring she leaves Fang Bai’s side.

For his granddaughter, the gaunt old man felt it was all worthwhile.

"Grandfather, I’m not crazy! From now on, you’re not allowed to mention anything about partners. Otherwise... otherwise... I’ll cry for you to see!"

Rongrong bit her lip, and her eyes turned slightly red, seemingly on the brink of tears.

Seeing his granddaughter’s distress, the gaunt old man’s heart melted, and he quickly said, "Alright! Alright! I won’t talk about it anymore! Not another word..."

He raised his hand and grabbed the air, retrieving his own Spatial Divine Ring from Fang Bai’s hand, then retrieved the Giant Clan’s Spatial Divine Ring from it and tossed it to Fang Bai, saying in a bad mood, "Boy, here’s the Divine Ring for you. Don’t disappoint me!"

Although he was not knowledgeable in the Array Path, he understood that a seal formation on a Spatial Divine Ring belonging to a Divine King Realm Expert had to be exceptionally ingenious, and Fang Bai wasn’t even a Divine Venerable Realm Expert, so how could he break that seal formation?

Nevertheless, Fang Bai had pursued them all the way, demonstrating persistence, so the gaunt old man had some belief that Fang Bai might have some capabilities.

Thus, he decided to let Fang Bai try.

If Fang Bai successfully removed the formation seal, it would prove that he truly was an Array Master and an extraordinary one at that, earning even higher regard from the gaunt old man.

Fang Bai said, "If I can remove this formation seal, can I exchange half of the cultivation resources for something else?"

Rongrong asked curiously, "What do you want to exchange for?"

In her view, obtaining half of the cultivation resources from a Divine King Realm Expert’s Spatial Divine Ring surpassed all else.

Fang Bai glanced at the gaunt old man and said, "I’m just a little short of reaching the Divine Venerable Realm..."

The gaunt old man, being extremely shrewd to possess his current cultivation level, upon hearing Fang Bai’s words, raised an eyebrow and said, "You want me to help you advance to the Divine Venerable Realm?"

"Exactly."

Fang Bai smilingly nodded.

The gaunt old man pondered, "With your talent and aptitude, earning half of the cultivation resources from this Spatial Divine Ring gives you a significant chance to advance to the Divine Venerable Realm! Why do you want my help?"

Fang Bai replied, "I don’t have a Divine King Realm cultivation technique. Cultivating by myself would mean groping in the dark, making the advancement slow. That’s why I hope for guidance from a Divine King Realm expert, which would speed up my advancement."

The gaunt old man said, "Sometimes, rushing is not always beneficial!"

Fang Bai smiled, remaining silent, simply looking at the gaunt old man, waiting for him to make a decision.
