After pausing for a moment, Ao Kui said, "So, I'd like to invite Brother Chu to visit the East Sea Dragon Palace. Perhaps then, I can help you secure a spot that will allow you to be reborn, enhancing your cultivation and foundation to new heights."
Invite me to the East Sea Dragon Palace, and help me vie for a place to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool?
Gu Yuan was taken aback, unsure of what to say.
Ancients have said many things, like there's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's no such thing as a pie falling from the sky.
Gu Yuan deeply agrees with this.
His relationship with Ao Kui appears cordial, but in reality, they aren't truly acquainted, nor have they known each other for long.
Moreover, one is human and the other a dragon — different species, lacking mutual understanding.
Even though there was a transaction earlier, now that the deal has concluded, both sides have got what they needed.
One could say, at present, neither side owes the other anything.
