Chapter 1182: Chapter 1061: Another Enemy
“Why?”
Ye Fan’s words echoed in his ear, and Qingxuan was initially slightly startled. Then, sensing that Ye Fan knew his intentions, Qingxuan felt he was intentionally using refusal as an excuse, aiming to demand an exorbitant price.
Thus, Qingxuan patiently said, “Brother Ye, to be honest, I really want to acquire this Soul Summoning Grass, so I ca here abruptly. The price is negotiable; na your price. As long as I can bear it, I will have no complaints.”
“This kid is going to get fleeced!”
Jin Zhanfei and Shen Tu exchanged glances, both believing Ye Fan would certainly demand an exorbitant price and ruthlessly fleece Qingxuan.
From the beginning, Qingxuan expressed his determination to obtain this Soul Summoning Grass. Ye Fan was no fool; how could he not ruthlessly fleece him?
“Brother Qingxuan, to be honest, I also very much need this Soul Summoning Grass, so it’s impossible for to transfer it!”
Ye Fan decisively rejected Qingxuan’s proposal. The Soul Summoning Grass is one of the main ingredients for refining the Soul Gathering Pill and represents a hope to save Su Liuli. How could he sell it to others?
Hmm?
Shen Xin and others, unaware of the significance of the Soul Summoning Grass to Ye Fan, thought Ye Fan was trying to raise the price. Now, seeing Ye Fan had turned him down outright, they couldn’t help but secretly signal each other.
Because, in their view, Qingxuan, as the first core disciple of the Qing Xuan Sect and possibly the future successor to the Sect Leader position, could give up a Soul Summoning Grass, which holds little use for them, not only to fleece him but also to forge a good relationship with the Xuanwu Sect, which would be beneficial in nurous ways.
“Brother Ye, is there really no room for negotiation?”
Qingxuan, not giving up, continued, “I could exchange other Treasure dicines with Brother Ye—Treasure dicines, Elixir Pills, martial arts—any you choose for exchange. I absolutely guarantee you won’t feel shortchanged.”
“Brother Qingxuan, truly sorry, I must keep this Soul Summoning Grass myself. Even if you wanted to exchange it for the Qingxuan Divine Technique, I wouldn’t swap it. Better give up on this notion!”
What Ye Fan referred to as the Qingxuan Divine Technique is the cultivation technique of Qing Xuan Sect, its unique treasure.
“Hiss~”
Hearing this, the corner of Qingxuan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Having reached this point, he knew that obtaining the Soul Summoning Grass from Ye Fan was impossible, nor would he ever trade the ntal thod of the Qingxuan Divine Technique for this Treasure dicine.
“Fine, since Brother Ye insists, then forget it.” Though he said this, a trace of malice flashed in Qingxuan’s eyes.
He had lowered his stance and spoken kindly, but Ye Fan showed him no regard at all, which infuriated him.
Hmm?
Shen Xin thoughtfully glanced at Qingxuan, then shifted his gaze to Ye Fan.
At this mont, he vaguely guessed that Ye Fan’s real initial target had always been the Soul Summoning Grass, and everything done earlier was simply to make others think he was brought in as a stooge by the auction house.
Shen Tu and Jin Zhanfei hadn’t considered this yet; they just felt Ye Fan was peculiar. Qingxuan had expressed that no matter how exorbitant Ye Fan nad his price, as long as he could afford it, he would buy it, but Ye Fan flatly refused without even naming a price. What was going on? Did he really need the Soul Summoning Grass?
Tong Qianchen and Zhang Taiyi also considered that Ye Fan might indeed be determined to acquire the Soul Summoning Grass but didn’t know its purpose.
At this point, however, they couldn’t ask publicly in front of Qingxuan what Ye Fan needed the Soul Summoning Grass for, so they simply stayed silent.
anwhile, Qingxuan did not imdiately leave but suddenly asked, “By the way, Brother Ye, I’ve heard you’ve offended the Tianyuan Sect Leader, Helian Chang, and also crippled the genius of the Chu Family, Chu Feng. Is this true?”
“Yes.”
Ye Fan nodded. These matters were impossible to conceal, and he didn’t care if Qingxuan knew. Moreover, he vaguely felt there was an underlying ssage in Qingxuan’s words, so he admitted openly.
As expected, Qingxuan’s eyes flashed coldly as he said, “Brother Ye, although you obtained the Soul Summoning Grass at an exceptionally low price at this auction, you also offended all the strong people who participated in the bidding. This is very unwise.”
“Don’t trouble yourself, Brother Qingxuan. I believe that not many truly know my identity, and even if they find out, what can they do? If they bet and conceded willingly, it’s not my fault.”
Ye Fan’s voice grew cold as he clearly sensed the hostility emanating from Qingxuan. This smooth and tactful person had finally revealed his true nature.
Qingxuan initially brought up Ye Fan offending the Tianyuan Sect and the Chu Family, then ntioned Ye Fan offending people at the auction, with the sole aim of threatening Ye Fan to give up the Soul Summoning Grass!
“Though your words are reasonable, you must be aware that everyone qualified to participate in this auction is no ordinary person, and many are connected to high heavens. You can’t hide from them for long; soon, they will realize it. Then won’t they co back to trouble Brother Ye?”
Qingxuan’s words are ruthless but also rational. There are Wu Shang Sect people at this auction; if they find out Ye Fan tricked them, how could they let it rest?
At this mont, even Shen Xin was silent, feeling that Qingxuan’s words had so truth. Although Ye Fan used certain ans to obtain the Soul Summoning Grass at a lower price, it was hard to guarantee those Wu Shang Sect mbers wouldn’t discover the Soul Summoning Grass’s value and see through Ye Fan’s trick.
Ye Fan faintly smiled and said, “I believe the Wu Shang Sect mbers will not act rashly over a Soul Summoning Grass, disregarding their identity to attack soone as insignificant as . Moreover, they will absolutely never admit to not knowing the Soul Summoning Grass’s value! They can’t afford to lose face, so your assumption will not co to pass.”
“Is that so?”
Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, silently comnding Ye Fan’s skill. Although Ye Fan’s words were composed, they inadvertently defused Qingxuan’s threat. It seed stronger tactics were needed now.
“Even if, as Brother Ye said, those from the Wu Shang Sect won’t trouble him, Brother Ye himself has no shortage of enemies either!
I think, although Brother Ye is very strong, it’s not wise to make too many enemies. Otherwise, during the tournant, if you keep clashing, it’ll be very hard to make it to the end. What does Brother Ye think?”
Speaking again, Qingxuan was blatantly threatening now, implying that Ye Fan had already made enemies of the Tianyuan Sect and the Chu Family, and offending the Qing Xuan Sect would be a path to self-destruction!
How could Ye Fan not hear the underlying aning? Raising an eyebrow, he coldly said, “Are you threatening ?”
“It’s not a threat, just a friendly reminder.” Qingxuan looked Ye Fan straight in the eyes, speaking slowly.
Hmm?
Hearing Qingxuan’s words, and seeing his expression, Shen Xin and others frowned.
They all knew that Qingxuan usually had the image of a nice old man and was rarely seen taking action. Yet, in the Qing Xuan Sect, not a single core disciple dared to challenge him, his strength imasurable.
As Qingxuan said, Ye Fan had already offended the Chu Family and the Tianyuan Sect. If he also made an enemy of Qingxuan, during the genius tournant, he would likely face continuous fierce battles, making it hard to say if he could reach the end.
But… they also knew that Ye Fan wouldn’t succumb to threats. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have humiliated Helian Chang in front of everyone from the Tianxuan Sect and the Xuanwu Sect that day!
As anticipated by Shen Xin, after hearing Qingxuan’s words, Ye Fan’s eyes narrowed imdiately, speaking coldly, “If it’s a friendly reminder, I thank you. If it’s a threat, unfortunately, you’ll be disappointed. I dislike being threatened the most.”
“In that case, I look forward to seeing your good performance in the tournant—we’ll et on the battlefield!” Seeing that threatening to get the Soul Summoning Grass was futile, Qingxuan stopped his verbose words, bowed, and bid farewell to Shen Xin and others, never losing face.
However—
In the instant he turned around, Qingxuan’s entire face twisted, murderous intent flickering in his eyes.
At the sa ti.
Other mbers of the Qing Xuan Sect were chatting idly in a private room at the best restaurant in Tianyuan City.
Earlier, after Ye Fan and others appeared, the elders of the Qing Xuan Sect only sent Qingxuan alone to purchase the Soul Summoning Grass.
Because, in his view, Ye Fan had purely played a losing hand and had no choice but to buy the Soul Summoning Grass. Qingxuan’s proactive attempt would have no difficulty.
“Calculate the ti, the senior brother should be back soon, right? I wonder how many spirit stones he spent to purchase the Soul Summoning Grass from the Xuanwu Sect?”
One of the Qing Xuan Sect’s disciples asked jokingly while eating the complintary snacks from the restaurant.
“How much? As long as it doesn’t incur a loss for them, they’ll definitely resell it at the first mont!”
“With the Soul Summoning Grass refining the Divine Soul, the senior brother will certainly make a remarkable showing in this tournant.”
“Creak!”
While a few Qing Xuan Sect disciples were chatting, the door was pushed open, and Qingxuan walked in with a sullen face.
“Qingxuan, you don’t look too good. Did the Xuanwu Sect jack up the price and rip you off?”
Noticing Qingxuan’s look, the Qing Xuan Sect disciples put away their smiles, and the Qing Xuan Sect elder frowned and asked.
“The Soul Summoning Grass was bought by Ye Fan of the Xuanwu Sect. He refused to sell it, no matter how high a price I offered. He even said that even if I used the Qingxuan Divine Technique cultivation technique, he’d never exchange his Soul Summoning Grass… This Ye Fan, simply unreceptive to reason!” Qingxuan said, frustrated and angry, recounting the events to them.
“What? This guy is too ungrateful, dare to speak such arrogance, truly outrageous!”
“No doubt about it, senior brother, during the genius tournant, we must teach him a lesson!”
“Yes, we must give him a harsh lesson, let him understand there are people he cannot offend!”
After hearing Qingxuan’s story, the Qing Xuan Sect disciples were all furious, believing Ye Fan didn’t know gratitude.
“If it’s going to rain, mother wants to marry, there’s no stopping soone from seeking death! I guarantee, he’ll regret his decision tonight!”
Qingxuan sneered, his whole body exuding a chilling murderous aura.
