The pill from Sos must be given!
Even though Chen Zhixing stepped in to save some face for Sos, after Li Er said that, it became an inevitable conclusion.
Chen Zhixing's intercession wasn't to help Sos keep the pill, but rather to prevent the two from further extorting Sos after obtaining the pill.
Sos was clearly aware of this as well.
So before Chen Zhixing left, He mentioned that the gratitude gift this time would definitely satisfy Chen Zhixing, implying that He would give the Longevity Pill to Chen Zhixing, not putting him in a difficult position.
And as for Chen Zhixing,
Just as he stepped out of Divine Wood Spring City, he was stopped by the pair to ensure he could indeed obtain the pill from Sos.
"So, you two, why are you in such a hurry? Is the situation with that Celestial Saint really that dire?"
Chen Zhixing asked curiously. Regarding the Celestial Saint, the oldest known cultivator in the Celestial Profound Realm per his knowledge, he was indeed very curious.
