"Oh? Don’t tell me you still need my help to fulfil your goal?" Wang Wei asked as he sipped the tea. Liang Shixian had done well for himself without Wang Wei, so he saw no reason to change now. Additionally, Wang Wei was not sure he wanted to continue getting involved in the mess of the Soul Path.
"Not that. I want your share of the Soul Path Destiny."
"Pardon me?"
"It may cause an issue if I, the founder of this path, only hold 75% control of the destiny. I hope you can understand, but it’s for the future of the soul path."
"Interesting," Wang Wei said as he slowly placed his teacup on the table. "And how do you plan to get my share?"
"I understand it would be too much to ask you to hand over for free, so I’m prepared to pay a hefty amount of merit in exchange," Liang Shixian said earnestly.
"Why would I receive one sum of merit when I can benefit for all eternity from the Memorialized Luck?" Wang Wei asked.
Liand Shixian calmly replied, "The disaster is coming, and merit is important. The amount I’m offering is something you would have to wait for hundreds of millions of merit to acquire the regular way."
"Do you have the funds? Or are you planning to ask me to give you time to slowly gather it during the war?"
The Soul Path Founder’s body stiffened briefly before he smiled awkwardly to ease the tension, "There is no need to be difficult, right? Like I said, this is for the future of the soul path."
"And why do you think I would care about the future of the soul path?" Wang Wei asked calmly, also making Liang Shixian’s smile stiff.
"Do you have to be like this?"
"Alright, this meeting is pointless," Wang Wei said as he slowly stood. "I would thank you for the tea, but it was subpar. You should get a new hobby." He slowly turned around, preparing to leave.
"Don’t do this," Liang Shixian shouted. "I have an agreement with the Saint. The soul path —"
"You think you can use her to suppress me?" Wang Wei slowly turned around. "I don’t know how and why you’ve developed this new sense of self-importance, but you have greatly mistaken your ability or importance in the grand scheme of things. Without me, you would not be who you are today.
"You may have still developed a soul, but it would not have the potential it does now. I lay the solid foundation for your success and glory. And if the Saint ever had to choose between the two of us to determine the future of the soul path, do you think she would choose you?
"Boy, you need a good look at yourself in the mirror. And while at it, try to remember who the fuck I am."
Wang Wei walked out of the room with his hands behind his back. ’What a waste of time,’ he thought as he slowly walked toward the Resource Management Department. As the ancient sages said, fame and glory are a hero’s weakness. Liang Shixian had only received a little bit of recognition, and he had already allowed it to get to his head.
