Chapter 161: Accepting The Offer

Cao Haolong had no favorable impression of this young man, but he understood that sometimes it was better to keep dislikeable people close by, so that they could be overseen.

A boy with the resourcefulness to use such information against his enemies was quite promising, but Cao Haolong could not help but feel that this boy was too unreasonable.

Although it was not wrong to hate others, this was merely a young boy, and the likelihood of Luo Xiao and Jiang Yao having troubled him enough to cause such hatred was very small.

"I want to become a guard of the Cao family! I want to be given the same resources and treasures as any other high ranked guard, and I wish to become strong!"

The yearning in his eyes was bordering on madness, and the boy clearly understood that the consequences of becoming a Cao family guard would be the same as giving up his freedom for the rest of his life, unless he did something outstanding to be released from duty. Even errors would not give him back his freedom, only death.

Cao Haolong contemplated for some time, but he did not answer directly

It was not mentioned if they would discuss further, or if he planned on killing him to keep the secret, but the boy did not even consider the dangers, as he happily followed the leader of the Cao family.

Cao Haolong could not help but raise an eyebrow in amusement when he noticed the desperation in the boy's actions.

However, he did not understand this uncontrollable urge to grow stronger. The boy did not seem to come from an extremely poor family, yet he did not seem rich either.

It was clear that his family would not be able to provide him with the resources needed to become one of the most outstanding figures in the cultivation world, but even if he did gain access to these resources, he would still end up giving away his freedom, so was it really worth it to be so eager?

Cao Haolong leaned back in his chair as if he was contemplating the worth of the information.

"I can accept your request, however you have to make a heavenly oath to always be loyal to me, and to never go against my orders. At the same time, you have to show that you are worthy of the resources given."

The boy did not truly understand the severity of such an oath. As a cultivator, one used the essence of the heavens and the earth to refine their energy, but this kind of essence also required one to be true to the heavenly dao.

When one swore an oath to the heavens, they would have to follow the words they said, or all the energy within the body would explode. It was not very likely to survive, but if anyone happened to be that lucky, then they would still live a worthless life, no better than being dead, as they would never be able to control or command energy again.

Although the boy understood that such an oath could not be retracted unless the other person released them, he did not think it would be such a big deal, as it was the cost to cultivate and reach the apex.

He was currently blinded by greed and hatred. To him, there was currently nothing more important than to show Jiang Yao that the prince had completely misjudged him, and that it would be his loss that this young boy went to support the enemy.

Cao Haolong was a young man who had seen the ugly faces of people who hid beneath the glamorous image of noble descendants, and he knew what schemes and tricks they would use to get their way.

He was also familiar with using words and tricks to subdue others and get what he wanted, but he was not very pleased with the current situation. He was not very satisfied with supporting the Fourth Demon Prince, but he did not have much choice after having been born into the Cao family.

The demon princes were all much older than humans. Although Jiang Yao was considered a young demon, he was still more than double the age of Cao Haolong, and he was even the Seventh Demon Prince, quite a bit younger than Jiang Luo, who was ranked fourth.

By the time that Cao Haolong took over the position as the one in charge of the Cao family, they had been supporting Jiang Luo for a long time.

Previously, Cao Haolong had indeed been thinking of jumping ship, but he had not been in a hurry as he did not see any signs of Jiang Yao fighting back against the Fourth Demon Prince, only annoying him from time to time, mostly based on his mood.

However, when he encountered the Seventh Demon Prince and Luo Xiao in the restaurant, he understood that things were different now. Even if Jiang Yao was not willing to take over the throne, he was not likely to give his fourth brother the title of Emperor either.

While Cao Haolong was busy thinking about how to use this knowledge, the young boy did not dare to interrupt the thoughts, and nervously waited for a continuation.

He had understood that this nobleman was going to accept his offer, but he was clearly still considering the details, so he felt uncomfortable until everything had been solved and he would get a new sense of security.
