At the ti Chu Yunyun was taming the Victory Army, Chu Xisheng was in a pavilion at the Finance Bureau of Formless Divine Mountain, bargaining with the Finance Bureau Great Elder Hao Qiufeng.
To be precise, it was Mad Sword Feng San who was talking, while he watched from the side, occasionally leisurely sipping from the tea cup in front of him, looking relaxed.
This was the celestial tea ’Green Sky Needle’ produced in the Heavenly Wall Mountain of the Cliff Mountain Range, reputed to be one of the ten famous teas of the Divine Continent.
In the past, Chu Xisheng could never appreciate it. When he first arrived at Formless Divine Mountain, he found the tea too bland, without any flavor.
Now his mindset was very different from before, without the imminent life-and-death crisis pressing on him, and the constant urgency in his heart had greatly diminished. Finally, he could calmly appreciate the taste of the ’Green Sky Needle’, which was truly refreshing, lasting and deep, with full aftertaste.
Hao Qiufeng was also drinking ’Green Sky Needle’, but at this mont, he looked impatient.
This was originally his favorite tea, but now when Hao Qiufeng drank it, it was like chewing wax, without any taste.
Mad Sword Feng San sat opposite, holding his sword in his arms, half-closed eyes, glaring at Hao Qiufeng.
"Three and a half percent is absolutely impossible, at least five percent! In this battle at the Taiwei Constellation, no matter how you say it, our master put in a greater effort.
Now that none of the Four Great Divine Artifacts of the Taiwei Constellation inheritance fell into our master’s hands, there should be more compensation in terms of various resources. Formless Divine Sect is the number one Divine Sect in the world, how can it not be clear about rewards and punishnts? If this gets out, won’t it make the world laugh?"
Hao Qiufeng’s lips twitched. If it were soone else, daring to bargain with him like this, he would have kicked them out long ago. Even if it were Chu Xisheng, he could use his status as an elder to intimidate him, yet the person in front of him was his senior brother—Supre Sword Heart Xia Baishi.
He couldn’t hit him or scold him, he could only argue based on reason.
Hao Qiufeng shook his head, "How can you say there’s no clarity in rewards and punishnts? Formless Divine Sect’s efforts this ti were where you couldn’t see; without the sect’s four super-grade forces holding the fort, the Taiwei Constellation couldn’t be captured no matter what. And wasn’t that Heavenly Destiny Dice not given to Chu Yunyun?"
Feng San let out a snort, "You also said it was in Chu Yunyun’s hands, not in our master’s hands."
Hao Qiufeng’s lips twitched again, so Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun weren’t of the sa family?
"Even excluding Chu Yunyun, our master still made outstanding contributions."
Feng San sneered coldly, "In this battle, we had eight people with Second Grade strength alone, among them, the key figure from Luo Han Sect was brought in by our master.
Afterward, it was also our master who, risking great danger, condensed the God Slaying Blood Gang, which secured victory in one move. Otherwise, under the suppression of that Three Emperors Divine Eye, even super-grade Martial Cultivators must retreat, who could qualify to obtain the Taiwei Constellation’s Dao Tong?"
Hao Qiufeng rubbed his temples, trying to press down the bulging veins once again, "Xisheng made outstanding contributions, I acknowledge this, but would you dare say he gained nothing? Aren’t those Divine Contract Sky Tablet Fragnts a harvest, and where did the ’Outer Magic Origin Ring’ in his hand co from?
As for Luo Han Sect, aren’t they now a part of Chu Xisheng’s forces as the Imperial Mage? The future Taiwei Constellation, isn’t that Three Emperors Divine Eye still at his command—"
Chu Xisheng found the verbal exchange between the two both amusing and intriguing.
He was quite engrossed, watching with great interest, when his expression suddenly shifted slightly, looking outside the pavilion.
He saw Qin Xiyang’s figure appear outside the pavilion.
She glanced complexly at the three inside the pavilion, then respectfully clasped her fists in salute.
"Junior Brother Chu, Elder Mai and Elder Sheen have a ssage for you: they are ready, and ask you to proceed to the Golden Summit as soon as possible."
Chu Xisheng heard this and felt mildly surprised.
What surprised him was that the ssenger was actually Qin Xiyang.
Chu Xisheng quickly suppressed his emotions, rose, and bowed to Hao Qiufeng, "Junior Master Hao—"
"Go!" Hao Qiufeng waved his sleeve weakly, "Don’t keep the two Supre Elders waiting, cultivate well."
The two elders ntioned by Qin Xiyang, Elder Mai and Elder Sheen, were the sect’s two Supre Elders, ’Sky Covering Sword Saint’ Mai Danshu and ’Sleeve Universe, Divine Seal Flipping Sky’ Sheen Yuan.
These two patriarchs summoned Chu Xisheng, how could Hao Qiufeng dare to stop them?
Besides, he could guess what it was about. Not long ago, Hao Qiufeng had even approved an expenditure for it.
Chu Xisheng then turned his head to admonish Feng San, "After I leave, Mr. Feng must be cautious with your words; don’t go too far. Regarding the distribution of resources, let it be, don’t hurt the sect’s friendship over a few blocking items."
He gave a thumbs-up to Feng San behind Hao Qiufeng’s back.
Over there, Hao Qiufeng was so angry that his eyes weren’t eyes, his nose wasn’t a nose.
This bastard, not only did he have Senior Brother Xia bargain with him, but dared to speak to his Senior Brother Xia this way!
Senior Brother Xia had saved his life before!
After Chu Xisheng left the Finance Bureau, he curiously asked Qin Xiyang, "Did the two Supre Elders let you convey the ssage? Quite strange indeed."
"I recently took charge of the cleaning in the Elder Council, and upon learning of it, I earnestly requested this opportunity from Senior Brother."
Qin Xiyang explained calmly.
The cleaning work at the Elder Council on Formless Divine Mountain was not a good position, with scant rit.
The Qin Xiyang of the past would certainly disdain it.
Yet she remained composed, unfazed by her own predicant, "I just wanted to et with Junior Brother and ask a couple of questions."
