I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Alright, alright, alright…

A “Friendship Fee”!

So, since that time, you were planning to stick to me like this?

Xu Xiaoshou realized belatedly that the concept of a “Friendship Fee” proposed by Dao Qiongcang could also be so disgusting.

But before he could even open his mouth, he suddenly realized… wasn’t it him who had brought up the idea of the “Friendship Fee”?

“Cough cough!”

Xu Xiaoshou choked twice, “Anyhow, I won’t go to your Divine Sect. Either after this cooperation we part ways, or you join my First Pavilion in the Sky… Hmm, that I might consider~”

“Oh?” Dao Qiongcang seemed like he hadn’t contemplated rejection. His eyes lit up at the mention, “First Pavilion in the Sky, is there a spot reserved for me?”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Xiaoshou went blank for a moment, then raised his hand and fiercely slapped himself, turning his face somewhat red, “I didn’t say anything just now.”

Dao Qiongcang hadn’t even realized what happened when Xu Xiaoshou had already raised the Time Ancestor Shadow Staff.

He hurriedly reached out, grabbing the staff:

“Hold on, I can join the First Pavilion in the Sky. I don’t ask for much, just give me a Chief Elder position.”

Xu Xiaoshou turned sharply, shocked to see Elder Dao the Flamboyant actually able to grasp his Time Ancestor Shadow Staff.

He could touch it so easily?

No…

On Abyss Island, he had seemed to barely even see it…

Right, this must be his true body, not comparable at all to the demi-saint incarnation on Abyss Island!

“Chief Elder…”

Alarmed, Xu Xiaoshou instinctively turned towards Water Ghost, tactfully declining, “Sorry, we aren’t recruiting anymore in the First Pavilion in the Sky, and there’s already a Chief Elder. At most, you could be the Second Elder.”

“Second Elder works too!”

You’re that desperate, huh?

Xu Xiaoshou hadn’t even spoken when Dao Qiongcang hastily added:

“If not, Third Elder isn’t bad either!”

“I’m also quite interested in the ‘Seventh Elder’ title, you could line up six people in front of me, my Xu…”

These words had Xu Xiaoshou gasping for air, and Water Ghost’s scalp tingled.

No, my dear Tower Master, what exactly are you discussing with him?

Being the Chief Elder of First Pavilion in the Sky is troubling enough, I also have to constantly worry about whether the Second or Seventh Elder might stab me in the back? ȑãꞐo͍ＢËş

From the start, you shouldn’t have proposed letting him join the First Pavilion in the Sky, okay?

Alright then… At this time, Xu Xiaoshou also realized he really messed up.

Mainly because he really hadn’t expected that Hallmaster Dao could be so unpretentious.

He’s willing to rub up against even a foul-smelling sabotaging stick, climbing any ladder he sees, truly undiscriminating… Ptui, I mean that’s not exactly right!

“In any case, let’s drop this matter.”

Xu Xiaoshou gestured to stop Dao Qiongcang, signaling ‘my butt’s cold, don’t stick your hot face to it anymore.’

He didn’t even bother with euphemisms anymore, directly cutting off the topic and ending it there, then moved in another direction:

“In our cooperation, it began with the Divine Relics, and it shall end with the Divine Relics. During this time, we are friends, what happens afterward is another story.”

“And the purpose of our cooperation is to break open the Divine Relics and safely get out together, okay?”

Yes.

Safety, the first priority!

Before this, Xu Xiaoshou had seen Dao Qiongcang’s situation of defecting from the sacred mountain and harbored thoughts of long-term cooperation.

He really wanted to pull him into the First Pavilion in the Sky!

But after reflecting on the powerful stance of the Divine Sect and the weakening state of the Holy Divine Palace, Xu Xiaoshou thought it over and decided against it.

Dealing with someone like Dao Qiongcang, either you fully hand over your brain to him, which would be very comfortable.

Or if you contested anything with him, fatigue would be the least of your worries, you might not even know how you died.

But how could he not contest?

The most basic and also ultimate “Struggle for the Great Path,” up to today’s steps, Xu Xiaoshou could no longer yield.

“…Alright.”

Dao Qiongcang seemed still somewhat hung up on the previous topic. After pondering a while, he opted to keep his mouth shut:

“Before we leave, we are all friends.”

“And since we’re good friends, and since I’ve unilaterally paid a Friendship Fee as a genuinely good friend, shouldn’t you guys support me a bit more?”

Xu Xiaoshou heard this and inwardly smirked, then frowned.

He was delighted that Dao Qiongcang’s choice of words really put him in a submissive position, but frustrated at himself for seeming like the fool pushed to the brink.

Annoying!

Clearly, collecting a Friendship Fee should mean I’m superior.

How come it feels so different when it comes to Flamboyant Elder Dao?

An illusion, maybe…

“Support is too strong a word,” Xu Xiaoshou didn’t want to be flattered comfortably, he wanted to feel uncomfortable.

“Oh, oh.” Dao Qiongcang seemed to also realize this wasn’t good, but it appeared as if he had anticipated this point and had a response ready, blurting out: “A hint, just a hint…”

Son of a… Xu Xiaoshou thought, what’s the difference? He barely managed to suppress a grin, seriously saying, “Just tell me what you want to say, I hate beating around the bush.”

“No offense, no offense,” Dao Qiongcang started with a couple of apologetic words.

“I’m new here, so I need to understand the situation of the Divine Relics to make any kind of judgment,” he suggested “cautiously,” very much conveying a sense of walking on eggshells.

Seeing the once high and mighty Hallmaster show such a sincerely frightened expression and extremely respectful manner towards himself, Xu Xiaoshou felt a thrill that truly was indescribable!
