This Is My Beloved Senior Brother. No Amount of Money Will Change My Mind!
Chu Xinghe was completely bewildered; the current situation was entirely different from the script he had been given.
As is customary, shouldn't the Wuj iang Holy Mother, being a powerful figure, maintain a mysterious and unfathomable demeanor and wait for me to speak first?
Without any hesitation, he went straight for the face.
Then the Wuj iang Holy Mother pointed directly at herself and roared angrily, "How dare little Chu Xinghe be so bold!"
Then it enters berserk mode.
And that bearded man next to the Wuj iang Holy Mother should also jump out when the Wuj iang Holy Mother is angry and say, "How dare you humiliate me, Wuj iang, like this? Today I will show you that I, Wuj iang, am not someone to be trifled with."
In this way, he could simply use his Flute of Space and Time to leave...
The script should have gone this way, but now you, the Wuj iang Holy Mother, are apologizing right off the bat.
Apologizing is one thing, but what's with the double rare items?
Did you trigger double rewards?
We're here to call off the engagement... Shouldn't things end badly and we part ways amicably?
What's the meaning behind this cheerful atmosphere?
No! Chu Xinghe looked at the Wuj iang Holy Mother with a solemn expression.
"Holy Mother is joking. Senior Brother Feng came in person to clarify things. The engagement is dissolved. When has our Vast Heaven Sect ever coveted the Wuj iang Treasure? So, can I interpret Holy Mother 'Holy Mother words as an insult to our Vast Heaven Sect?"
Chu Xinghe's words immediately froze the previously pleasant atmosphere.
First was the Wuj iang Holy Mother, who looked at Chu Xinghe with disbelief.
To be honest, she knew better than anyone why the Vast Heaven Sect had come. Although there were unknown secrets behind the Holy Maiden's annulment of the engagement, no matter what, it was Wuj iang who had acted dishonestly, right?
That's why the Wuj iang Holy Mother preemptively chose to double the rare treasures. Originally, according to her thinking, no matter how famous Chu Xinghe was, wasn't he still just a young man?
I can't even beat you with double the money?
But then the Wuj iang Holy Mother realized that Chu Xinghe's reputation as the number one young talent in the world was well-deserved; even double the amount of rare treasures hadn't moved Chu Xinghe in the slightest.
Feng Fei looked at his Junior Brother Xinghe with a deeply moved expression.
When the Wuj iang Holy Mother mentioned double the amount, Feng Fei almost couldn't help but agree.
After all, although such an outcome would make Feng Fei lose face, the sect would gain real benefits. Feng Fei felt that it wasn't unreasonable to sacrifice himself to bring such benefits to the sect.
But Feng Fei never expected that Junior Brother Xinghe would completely disregard the Wuj iang treasure, not even caring about double the price. Junior Brother Xinghe was indeed exceptionally kind and righteous; in his eyes, his senior brother was far more important than any double Wuj iang treasure.
Feng Yuzheng pondered to himself, "Senior Brother Xinghe didn't agree to the Wuj iang Holy Mother's request. Could it be that he wants to use this as an excuse to help me find the inheritance of the Divine Engraving Technique? Hmm! That must be it!"
As expected, Senior Brother Xinghe brought me here for a reason.
"Three times!" the Wuj iang Holy Mother spoke again.
Both Feng Fei and Feng Yuzheng were now breathing rapidly.
Three... three times?
Holy crap... The number of rare treasures that Wuj iang provides to the Vast Heaven Sect every year is countless. Double that is enough to cause many people to have a stroke, but triple that... wouldn't they take off on the spot?
Feng Fei's eyes were now darting around at Junior Brother Xinghe, as if to say, "Should we just admit it?"
Admitted it?
Senior brother, you're so confused!
Have you forgotten why we're here? We're here to annul the engagement... We're not here to collect resources for the sect!
And do you know how much emotional damage that tripled cost to me, my junior colleague?
"Holy Mother! Our Vast Heaven Sect will never take another penny of the Wuj iang Treasure. Senior Brother Feng Fei is far more important to our Vast Heaven Sect than the Wuj iang Treasure." Chu Xinghe said firmly.
"What about four times...?"
"Hiss..." came the sound of Er Feng gasping for breath.
Chu Xinghe felt embarrassed for them at this moment.
Senior Brother Feng Fei, as the mastermind behind the Vast Heaven Sect's long-term procurement, what kind of storms haven't you weathered? And you've managed to mess up this four-fold increase like this?
Yes... I admit that four times is really outrageous, but did I mean to tell you that my senior brother is my beloved brother and I should pay extra?
I sincerely believe that Senior Brother Feng Fei is far more important than Qi Zhen. Don't even think about making me compromise, not even if it's four times or forty times.
After the Wuj iang Holy Mother made four times the exit, she kept her eyes fixed on Chu Xinghe, but she was soon disappointed.
Because he saw no hesitation or struggle in Chu Xinghe's eyes.
To be honest, when Chu Xinghe said that Senior Brother Feng Fei was more important than Qi Zhen, the Wuj iang Holy Mother didn't believe it.
Isn't this the most common negotiation tactic?
My senior brother is extremely important... he's my dearest friend and family, doesn't that mean I have to pay extra?
But even the Wuj iang Holy Mother Zombies was somewhat shocked by Chu Xinghe's performance this time.
Rumor has it that Chu Xinghe is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and has won the approval of all his fellow disciples in the sect. Chu Xinghe never does anything to harm the sect, and every move he makes is unpredictable and imaginative. It may seem like he is going to cause the sect a great loss, but he always ends up making a huge profit.
As for Chu Xinghe 'Chu Xinghe treatment of his fellow disciples, it goes without saying. Although he is still a direct disciple in the Vast Heaven Sect, he has long been groomed to be the Future sect leader.
The Wuj iang Holy Mother had thought it was all just a rumor, but now it seemed she had truly underestimated Chu Xinghe.
Even the elders of the Ten Great Sects would be stunned to hear a price four times higher, saying, "It's just a broken engagement, we can handle it."
But Chu Xinghe didn't care at all; he cared more about Feng Fei's reputation than about resources...
"Mother... I told you long ago that Chu Xinghe is not someone who can be swayed by resources. Now you believe me, right?" A voice came softly from behind the curtain, and then the curtain was lifted, and a sweet-looking woman walked out.
"The Holy Maiden Jiuli of the Wuj iang Sect greets all the members of the Vast Heaven Sect." Jiuli performed the Wuj iang salute to Chu Xinghe and the others.
This Jiuli looks quite beautiful; she's the kind of girl who's worthy of Senior Brother Feng Fei.
At this moment, Jiuli stood beside the Wuj iang Holy Mother, looked at Wuj iang Holy Mother, sighed, and then the mother and daughter looked at each other and nodded.
"Senior Brother Feng Fei, Wuj iang did indeed have his reasons for breaking the engagement. Would you be willing to listen?"
Chu Xinghe really wanted to say, "I don't think that's necessary..."
But Feng Fei nodded in agreement.
Soon, Jiuli also explained the main reason for the annulment of the engagement.
The Wuj iang are a force that has existed since ancient times, but as it has been passed down to the present day, the Wuj iang are no longer as glorious as they once were.
The most important Gu God Inheritance of Wuj iang has been severed for thousands of years. Now, Wuj iang can only make a living by relying on its past achievements, such as rare and precious products.
But the Wuj iang never gave up on rising again, so they tried many methods.
Finally, not long ago, the Wuj iang Holy Mother found a way to reopen the Gu God Inheritance. Although it was only an incomplete inheritance, it still made the Wuj iang Holy Mother overjoyed.
And the Jiuli didn't hide this method from them.
After the Gu God disappeared, his legacy remained in the Wuj iang Sacred Domain. However, no one in Wuj iang was able to reactivate the legacy. After various attempts, the Wuj iang Holy Mother finally found a way to obtain the legacy.
That is to use the Wuj iang Spirit of Fortune Wu Spirit of Fortune to unlock the inheritance of the White Gu among the Black and White Twin Gu left by the Gu God.
Although it's incomplete, it's still the Gu God Inheritance.
Jiuli is the inheritor of the White Gu. Once Jiuli obtains the White Gu Inheritance, she will be stuck in Wuj iang for the rest of her life and will never be able to leave Wuj iang again. This is the defect brought about by the incomplete inheritance.
The reason for breaking off the engagement was also this.
Speaking of the Spirit of Fortune, Jiuli didn't hide anything. Not long ago, when the Wuj iang Holy Mother went to the White Crane Sect, she discovered that Jiang Yunhe, the son of the White Crane Sect Master, could actually activate the Spirit of Spirit of Fortune's Child of Fortune. And this time, opening the White Gu God was also thanks to Jiang Yunhe's help.
This should have been Wuj iang's secret, but Jiuli revealed it all at once to show his sincerity.
Jiuli even said on the spot, "Jiuli Please rest assured, Senior Brother Feng Fei, although I have broken off my engagement with Senior Brother Feng Fei, Jiuli will not marry anyone else and will stay in Wuj iang to guard Wuj iang for the rest of my life."
After hearing this, Chu Xinghe and the others were all speechless.
Damn... When we received the news from Jiuli that the engagement was being called off, everyone's first reaction was, "Does Jiuli look down on my Senior Brother Feng Fei?"
Chu Xinghe immediately spoke up for his Senior Brother Feng Fei.
But this reason... actually made Chu Xinghe feel a bit awkward.
Because what they said makes perfect sense...
She even said that out of guilt for breaking off the engagement, she would never marry, remaining chaste for life for her Senior Brother Feng Fei. How can you, with any human being, have the nerve to criticize her?
"Junior Brother Xinghe, it is indeed our Wuj iang who has let down the Vast Heaven Sect this time, and it is also my Jiuli is unfortunate to be unable to accompany Senior Brother Feng Fei. After the inheritance ends, we Wuj iang will announce this matter to the world, so as not to let the Vast Heaven Sect or Senior Brother Feng Fei suffer any criticism. As for the four times the amount of rare treasures that Mother just mentioned, Wuj iang will still keep its promise."
After Jiuli uttered these words, Chu Xinghe was completely stunned...
No... is this why I came to Wuj iang?
Feng Fei looked like he had just realized something. Although he had no feelings for Jiuli's words just now were sincere. Faced with such sincerity from Jiuli, what could Feng Fei say?
But just as Feng Fei was about to nod...
Chu Xinghe spoke up, "There's no need for that! The proclamation has been issued, but our Vast Heaven Sect absolutely cannot accept four times the amount of rare treasures. As the number one sect in the world, Vast Heaven Sect has never been one to take advantage of others' misfortunes. The previous supply of rare treasures was due to the engagement, but now that the engagement has been dissolved, our Vast Heaven Sect will never take any more rare treasures from Wuj iang. This matter ends here!"
Chu Xinghe's face was resolute.
What does it mean to cut your losses in time?
This game started in the dark. The engagement was called off, but you're trying to give my Vast Heaven Sect four times the rare treasures without warning?
Let me tell you...
Absolutely impossible!
If you Wuj iang are so benevolent, shouldn't we, the Vast Heaven Sect, be even more benevolent?
So, isn't it reasonable for us to issue a statement saying that we absolutely cannot accept four times the price of rare items?
They want to send things to our sect? No way!
Feng Fei, who had initially intended to agree, was now sweating profusely. Thankfully, his Junior Brother Xinghe spoke up quickly... otherwise, what would the outside world say about the Vast Heaven Sect if he had agreed?
Is the Vast Heaven Sect taking advantage of the chaos?
What will happen to the sect's reputation then?
So it seems that Junior Brother Xinghe considers things very comprehensively!
