Han Sen had been troubled lately. His body was recovering well, and he was almost back to the state he had been in before the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze had sucked him dry.
But that had also brought a lot of trouble. When he was injured, no one dared to do anything to him. Now that he had recovered, many elites were trying to use their connections to get Han Sen to bless them or their children.
Some of these requests were easy for Han Sen to reject, but others were harder to reject.
For example, there was the Tenth Elder, Yun Changkong. There was also the Sixth Elder, who was in charge of the Rebate's affairs. There were also others who weren't related to Han Sen, but they were high-level Sky Palace elites or deified elites.
If Han Sen rejected all of them, he would offend the entire Sky Palace. But if he didn't reject them, he would never be able to live in peace again.
"Brother Han, how have you been?"
Han Sen was on his way back from the seventh floor of the white jade building. He was still worried about what to do when he heard someone call his name.
Han Sen raised his head and saw Yu Jing. The guy was riding a King class xenogeneic mount. He seemed to be doing well.
"I'm doing okay. Yu Jing, are you here for the blessing?"
Han Sen knew Yu Jing was a greedy businessman. It wasn't a coincidence that Han Sen had bumped into him there.
When Yu Jing heard Han Sen say this, he laughed. "Brother Han, you must be worried about this.
You don't have to. I have a way to get you out of this mess. "
"What is it?"
Han Sen looked at Yu Jing with suspicion. He didn't believe Yu Jing would be so kind as to help him out of his predicament.
Yu Jing looked serious. "Many elites in Sky Palace are looking for you in private because they don't have a proper way to get your blessing. If you put this out in the open, you can set up an auction or something. The highest bidder will get the blessing. Then, they will only bid. They won't bother you in private.
That way you can both profit and get out of trouble. "
Han Sen immediately knew that Yu Jing was still plotting against him. Not only would this not solve the problem, but it would also cause Han Sen even more trouble.
Although it was possible to profit from a clear price tag, it was impossible to prevent those big shots from contacting Han Sen in private. If Han Sen still refused, he would only be seen as greedy. Since he could put it up for auction but refused to give face to those big shots, Han Sen would be hated even more.
But this reminded Han Sen that an auction was not a good idea. If he followed this train of thought, though, Han Sen could give his blessing powers to Sky Palace Leader. He could then decide how many people he could bless.
If the elites wanted a spot, they would only bother Sky Palace Leader. They wouldn't bother Han Sen.
Of course, Han Sen couldn't use all his power to bless people. He could just say that the blessings would affect his body and lifespan. He could say that a single blessing would take two or three years to recover. It wouldn't matter if he blessed them once in a while.
Then, he could push all the blame onto Sky Palace Leader. If someone came to him in private, he could say Sky Palace Leader forbade him from giving out blessings in private.
Plus, Sky Palace Leader had accepted a benefit like this. He couldn't just take it for free.
Thinking of this, Han Sen came up with a plan. His depression was gone.
"Forget about the auction. Blessing powers are harmful to my body. If it wasn't necessary, I wouldn't bless people, no matter how good the offer was." Han Sen looked at Yu Jing seriously.
"That's a shame," Yu Jing said with regret.
"Brother Yu Jing, are you here for this?" Han Sen asked, looking at Yu Jing.
"No, I'm here today because someone has asked me to make a deal with you," Yu Jing quickly said.
"Does this have something to do with the blessing?" Han Sen asked cautiously.
Yu Jing smiled and said, "Of course not. There is a half-deified uncle who wants you to help him kill a xenogeneic. Unfortunately, he hasn't had a chance to speak with you in private. That is why he asked me to help him."
"Kill a xenogeneic?
Why would he ask me for something like that?
The Palace Leader has many elites. If he wanted someone to help him, he wouldn't ask me. "
Han Sen was shocked. He hadn't expected a half-deified from Sky Palace to ask him to help him kill a xenogeneic.
"This uncle's situation is a bit special. He can't ask a deified elite to help him, and he wants to kill a deified xenogeneic. He heard that you and Phyllostachys Longipes killed a deified xenogeneic, so he wants to ask you for help. We can discuss the reward, but that uncle is rich …" Yu Jing explained the situation in detail.
That half-deified was called Yu Kun. He was one of the oldest half-deifieds in Sky Palace. He was of the same generation as Sky Palace's Zhang Xuandao. Yu Kun's talent was top-notch.
He had a great chance of becoming deified, but something had happened in his family. That was why he hadn't been able to become deified until now.
"What is so important that it would stop him from becoming deified?" Han Sen asked.
He wasn't just curious. He was worried that this might involve the internal conflicts of Sky Palace. If he helped Yu Kun, he might be dragged into the mess. That was something Han Sen had been trying to avoid ever since he had joined Sky Palace.
Yu Jing knew what Han Sen was thinking, so he smiled and explained, "Don't worry, Brother Han.
No one in Sky Palace is going to cause trouble for Uncle Yu Kun.
The reason he hasn't become deified yet is because his son was tricked.
He became a spy for another race and leaked our secrets.
Because of that, he ruined a major project for Sky Palace.
Although this had nothing to do with Uncle Yu Kun, he was still sentenced to thirty years in prison.
He has only been out for a few years."
"If Uncle Yu Kun asked, it wouldn't have been difficult to get deified elites to help him.
According to the rules of Sky Palace, he could have asked for help from his own people.
But Uncle Yu Kun felt guilty about what happened to his son.
So, he didn't want to use the resources of the race.
That is why he asked for your help.
You don't have to worry about the reward.
He has a lot of money."
"Let me think about it."
Han Sen didn't agree right away. Yu Kun's identity was a bit special, and he needed to figure it out first.
"Okay. Give me an answer as soon as possible. Uncle Yu Kun is still waiting. I need to give him an answer, whether or not you agree," Yu Jing said.
Han Sen agreed. After saying goodbye to Yu Jing, he didn't go back to Jade Island. He went straight to Sky Palace Leader's main island.
