Clan Leader Zhang was utterly speechless, finally understanding why the previous clan wars all ended in submission.
This kid is like a rock, too difficult to deal with.
Fight him? Can’t win.
Threaten him? Won’t work.
Kill him? Can’t do that either.
Negotiate? Only on his terms.
Damn, he’s like a stone in a latrine—both stinky and tough.
The Seventh Princess, however, was delighted. First, Long Fei was unhard, and second, she had been eyeing this ancestral Magical Treasure for a long ti.
She secretly ssaged Clan Leader Zhang, "Second Grandpa, don’t be so angry. Sooner or later, your granddaughter will marry him. Once I’m married, we’ll be one family. His Magical Treasure would still be ours. By then, I’ll find a way to get it back for you, wouldn’t that be fine?"
The Zhang Family Ancestor, who was initially thinking about inviting the Emperor to diate, suddenly saw the light after the Seventh Princess spoke and thought it feasible.
After all the fighting, we’re still going to be one family.
Once married, there’s no worry about this brat slipping away, right?
He imdiately looked at Long Fei with open enthusiasm and said, "You little rascal, you’ve got thoroughly convinced. Fine, you can keep this Magical Treasure for now, and we’ll discuss it later. This item is valuable; consider it compensation from the Zhang Family. Gather your people and leave quickly; don’t cause more trouble."
The outer sect disciples cheered, thinking to themselves that their leader managed to obtain such a valuable Magical Treasure—it’s already worth it.
Worried that the Emperor might arrive, they all wanted to leave quickly.
However, their leader remained calm and said, "Old man, if I recall correctly, you ntioned that if I broke through this formation, I could make any demand I want. What, are you going back on your word so soon?"
Sun Lang raised a Voice Preserving Stone and laughed, "Old man, I recorded what you said earlier. If you go back on your word, we’ll let everyone hear it."
As he spoke, the Voice Preserving Stone in his hand lit up, emitting the old man’s boastful voice, especially the line, "If you break through this formation, you can na your own conditions..."
Clan Leader Zhang’s face turned red as he stared at Long Fei with heartache and said, "Jiang Family’s lad, you know our Zhang Family Ancestral Land has always been a place for retirees, without any assets! You, who are destined to marry my granddaughter, wouldn’t rob her grandfather’s retirent fund, would you?"
The Seventh Princess burst into laughter.
Zhang Youfeng covered his face, secretly thinking this Second Grandpa has no sense of decorum—why say this in front of everyone?
He understood Long Fei well; once he got hold of sothing valuable, he certainly wouldn’t let go.
Sure enough, this kid showed no rcy and chuckled lightly at the old man, saying, "Second Grandpa, look at what you’re saying. When did I ever ask for your retirent money? Just give a re one hundred billion Spirit Stones, and I guarantee I’ll leave with my people imdiately!"
Clan Leader Zhang’s heart raced, his mind spinning, almost rolling backward to the ground.
"One hundred billion?"
His voice cracked as he exclaid, staring at Long Fei in shock, "Why not ask for a trillion? Do you think our Zhang Family is sitting on a gold mine?"
He looked so pitiful that the outer sect disciples felt a pang of sympathy, secretly thinking that a hundred billion was a bit much.
They stifled their laughter, surprised to find out they could get their share of Spirit Stones in the end.
Clan Leader Zhang secretly tugged at the Seventh Princess, urging her to persuade this cunning Imperial Son-in-law.
The Seventh Princess coughed lightly and suggested to Long Fei, "Husband, don’t be too excessive. Pushing my Second Grandpa too hard could kill him. He watched grow up, and though he may be a bit stingy and not very generous to , he’s still my family. For my sake, could you ask for a little less? Let’s make it five hundred billion, no bargaining!"
The old man rolled his eyes at her, feeling sothing odd about the statent.
Long Fei laughed and said, "Alright, I’ll listen to my wife. Five hundred billion it is. I’ll take the loss and consider it an early dowry for your family!"
The two of them, oblivious to everyone else, were shalessly flaunting their affection, addressing each other as husband and wife, which made the group of bachelors around them exclaim with envy and jealousy.
The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Long Fei might go back on his word. So he imdiately made the decision to hand over the five hundred billion in a Storage Ring, tossing it to this cunning young man.
Long Fei accepted the Storage Ring and instructed Sun Lang to distribute the money to everyone.
The outer sect disciples on the scene erupted in cheers, nearly dying of excitent.
They were completely won over by Long Fei, and now if Long Fei led them to raid other families, they would have no objections.
The Zhang Family had already submitted; what family would dare to act recklessly now?
Long Fei, as usual, entered the Zhang Family Library Pavilion, staying for two hours before leaving.
After coming out, it was already noon.
The Seventh Princess originally wanted to accompany him inside, but was driven out by him.
She had a feeling this kid wasn’t just entering the Scripture Pavilion for sothing simple, otherwise, why wouldn’t he let her in?
Long Fei certainly had things to do, but he couldn’t reveal them to her just yet.
If he told her now, she would definitely cancel their engagent in despair.
She and Zhang Youfeng stayed to have tea with the clan leader, consoling that grandfather to prevent a bout of high blood pressure or heart disease, which could cause trouble for Long Fei.
When Long Fei ca out, the eighty thousand disciples shouted in unison, "Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
"..."
He erged, striding through the air, like a king returning, imbued with a sense of majesty, authority, and kingly deanor.
And, not quite upright.
This bit of irreverence made him stand out from other aloof geniuses.
In worldly terms, he was a bit of a rogue, approachable.
Clan Leader Zhang saw Long Fei co out and let out a long sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he had finally seen off this jinx.
Zhang Youfeng gazed at Long Fei with a focused look and said, "Brother Jiang, the Ascending Immortal Road is about to open. A month from now, I’ll seek your guidance again."
"I’d be happy to accompany you!"
Long Fei nodded with a smile and shouted to the princess on the city wall, "Wife, do you want to co back to the Outer Sect with ?"
"Scram!"
The Seventh Princess blushed deeply, thinking that this kid had gotten addicted to taking advantage.
She called him husband and let him call her wife to ease the relations between the two families.
But now she couldn’t let him take any more liberties.
The scene erupted in laughter, and they teased her by shouting, "Goodbye, sister-in-law!"
"Big sister-in-law, we’ll wait for you at the Outer Sect!"
"Sister-in-law, you’re the prettiest!"
"..."
They teased the Seventh Princess on purpose, and then flew off with Long Fei on their swords.
The Seventh Princess flushed red, feeling as if she wanted to find a hole to hide in, showing no sign of her usual princess deanor.
These scoundrels were simply too unruly.
The Zhang Family clan leader had already collapsed into a rocking chair, holding her arm and repeatedly advising, "Granddaughter, you must get our family’s ancestral Magical Treasure back! This thing mustn’t be lost!"
"I know, don’t worry about it!"
The Seventh Princess squinted, thinking to herself she would certainly get it back.
But by then, it would be hers.
Haha!
She’d been out long enough, afraid her mother would scold her, and wanted to check on the situation in the palace. She bid farewell to Second Grandpa and Ninth Imperial Brother, leaving with the crowd to return to the palace.
Long Fei, while passing over the Li Family, deliberately stopped to take a look.
The eighty thousand personnel imdiately halted in mid-air.
Their swords shimred, resembling a long rainbow arching over the Li Family.
The disciples of the Li Family, having been tense all day, were shocked to see that these people actually dared to co.
Li Jinxuan’s father, Li Daoxun, had specifically returned from the barracks. Seeing Long Fei with a mischievous grin in the air, he imdiately raised his fist and shouted, "Jiang Family’s junior, by order of the Emperor, leave imdiately. Do not cause any more trouble, or the Emperor cannot protect you."
Long Fei laughed loudly back at him, "Don’t worry, General Li, I’m just taking a look and don’t intend to do anything!"
He then led his group, whistling through the air, away.
The entire Li Family breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Only Li Yuanba, brandishing two giant hamrs, shouted at the sky, "Brother in the sky, you talk a big ga but never act. If you’re good enough, co down and spar with !"
His brother Li Yuanqing hurriedly covered his mouth, not wanting to provoke this freak even the Zhang Family had submitted to.
