They Were Offering Far Too Much!
When Senior Brother Xinghe mentioned the small gift that was a token of his affection, Fan Sheng didn't really take it to heart.
Senior Brother Xinghe's actions are based on loyalty and friendship, so who would care about the price of the gift?
However, Fan Sheng was still very curious about what kind of little gift Senior Brother Xinghe had prepared.
Shouldn't we learn from this? We should do the same for any happy occasions at the East Moon Pavilion in the future.
It costs very little money, and you get to share the joy—isn't that a wonderful thing?
But the moment Fan Sheng opened the gift box, Fan Sheng was completely stunned...
No... Senior Brother Xinghe, you guys in the Vast Heaven Sect call this a small gift with deep meaning?
You call this a little gift?
Inside Fan Sheng's box was a top-grade spiritual weapon that gleamed with a cold light.
To be honest, Fan Sheng a man of experience. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't even glance at a top-grade spiritual weapon. After all, for a prodigy like him, you'd be embarrassed to greet people if you didn't bring a divine weapon with you, right?
But this is a top-grade spiritual weapon... Even the ordinary inner disciples of our main sect only use spiritual weapons of this level, right?
And what did Senior Brother Xinghe just say?
A small gift carries great meaning?
I, Fan Sheng, would like to ask Senior Brother Xinghe, in my real name, where exactly is this too light?
Is the lightness of your Vast Heaven Sect somewhat different from our understanding of lightness?
After repeatedly picking up the top-grade spiritual weapon from the box and examining it closely for a long time, Fan Sheng's first thought was, "Could there be a mistake?"
Is the one in my box something that Senior Brother Xinghe specially picked out for me because I'm close to Senior Brother Xinghe?
Are the other boxes really filled with small gifts?
Soon... Fan Sheng opened the other boxes meant for the elders...
Then... Fan Sheng went numb!
Top-grade spiritual weapons... They were all top-grade spiritual weapons! The brilliance of these various top-grade spiritual weapons almost blinded Fan Sheng.
Is this supposed to be the Vast Heaven Sect's little gift?
Aren't your little gifts a bit too outrageous?
Your gifts are cheap but the sentiment is heavy; this gift is practically slamming someone to death... and you call this cheap?
Fan Sheng blankly opened the box that was the last gift for the sect leader, but the moment the box was opened, Fan Sheng could no longer hold back!
"Holy crap? What is this?!"
How could Fan Sheng not recognize the Flute of Space and Time? At this moment, when he opened the small but meaningful gift he had given to the sect leader, the light emanating from the Flute of Space and Time made Fan Sheng feel like his eyes were about to go blind.
This isn't just a matter of whether the gift is small or the sentiment is heavy; this is downright outrageous!
Ever since the Vast Heaven Sect announced that it could forge the Flute of Space and Time, it has become a highly sought-after item by all sides.
What prices have they driven up to?
The sect leader also wanted to acquire a Flute of Space and Time to save his life.
However, the Vast Heaven Sect had no intention of selling the Flute of Space and Time, so all parties could only choose to Watch Quietly as Things Change.
But now... the Flute of Space and Time is being given to the Sect Master as a small gift? Isn't this gift a bit too insignificant?
We knew the Vast Heaven Sect was powerful and influential... but we never imagined Vast Heaven Sect be this crazy!
Fan Sheng's sudden shout clearly attracted the attention of the bigwigs of the East Moon Pavilion around him.
"Fan Sheng, don't be rude!" Liu Yunshang frowned as he looked at Fan Sheng.
Fan Sheng, how could you be so rude?
Look at Xinghe; he was so composed when he received us. You may not be as talented as Xinghe, but you should at least learn that composure, right?
Do you think this is our East Moon Pavilion? You're yelling and shouting at the Vast Heaven Sect without even a word. Is that polite?
Liu Yunshang walked over to Fan Sheng with a displeased expression, intending to reprimand his disciple... but before he could even speak, Fan Sheng had already presented him with the opened gift box.
Seeing the opened gift boxes, Liu Yunshang darkened again... Although the gifts inside might not be valuable, it's one thing to open your own in front of the host, but to open the gifts of everyone else in the sect is incredibly rude, you know that?
But Liu Yunshang was also puzzled. Although Fan Sheng wasn't a particularly composed person, he wouldn't act like this at home...
What's wrong with Fan Sheng today?
But when Liu Yunshang looked into the gift box, Liu Yunshang was completely stunned!
"Holy crap? What is this?!"
Liu Yunshang speechlessly at the opened gift boxes, completely stunned by the top-grade spiritual weapons inside.
It's not that top-grade spiritual weapons are valuable; for a big shot like Liu Yunshang, no amount of top-grade spiritual weapons could make him lose his composure.
What left Liu Yunshang completely dumbfounded was... You Vast Heaven Sect call this a small gift?
Is this what they call a small gift with a big meaning?
What the hell are you talking to me about?
One... two... three... Each gift box contained various top-grade spiritual weapons. Liu Yunshang was stunned by the sight of so many small gifts, each carrying a deep sentiment.
But Liu Yunshang quickly realized his lapse in composure!
I'm also a figure on the Heavenly Dao Ranking, how can I lose my composure like this... They're just some top-grade spiritual weapons, aren't they?
What's so special about this?
But just as Liu Yunshang had finished making the necessary adjustments, Fan Sheng opened the last gift box containing the Flute of Space and Time.
"Holy crap? What is this?!" Liu Yunshang's recently regained composure crumbled instantly.
This looks like Flute of Space and Time... no... not just looks like it, this is Flute of Space and Time!
What the hell is this? Has your Vast Heaven Sect gone mad?
Is this a small gift you sent?
You call this a small gift with a big meaning?
Isn't this a bit too heavy?
Picking up the Flute of Space and Time, Liu Yunshang examined it closely and finally confirmed that it really was the Flute of Space and Time... This was truly a small gift from the Vast Heaven Sect.
The other elders of the East Moon Pavilion also gathered around at this time.
While everyone was surprised to see the top-grade spiritual weapons given to them, the scene became somewhat chaotic when they saw the Flute of Space and Time given to the sect leader...
The group of big shots were all dumbfounded as they stared at the people from the Vast Heaven Sect.
Their first reaction was, "Did the Vast Heaven Sect send the wrong item?"
Gu Mingchao watched with a smile as the people of the East Moon Pavilion went from initial smiles to gradual madness.
To their reaction, Gu Mingchao could only say, "Look at your ignorant attitude!"
"Brother Mingchao... this... this is a small gift for us?"
As Liu Yunshang spoke, his eyes kept darting between Gu Mingchao and Chu Xinghe.
Recalling Chu Xinghe's smiling face as he said, "Please accept this small gift from our Vast Heaven Sect. It's a small gift but carries great meaning," Liu Yunshang really wanted to go up and slap Chu Xinghe across the face.
Were you even speaking human language just now?
Is this a case of a small gift carrying a deep meaning?
Who just said that our East Moon Pavilion should imitate this in the future?
We're not even trying to imitate that!
Putting aside the fact that we don't have the Flute of Space and Time, just the sheer number of top-tier spiritual weapons—can we even afford to give them away?
Liu Yunshang was almost in tears... "I knew your Vast Heaven Sect had become incredibly wealthy these past two years, but I never imagined you'd become this rich—so rich it's insane, so rich it's utterly inhuman, isn't it?"
I've only just entered the Vast Heaven Sect, and you've already dealt me this blow without a second thought. Does your Vast Heaven Sect have any humanity left?
The scene was out of control for a full three minutes. Finally Gu Mingchao, with his hands behind his back, said to Brother Yun Shang, "Why are you making such a fuss? It's just a small gift; it's a small gift but a big sentiment."
In the past, Liu Yunshang would have immediately retaliated against Gu Mingchao's shameless Versailles-like behavior.
But now... Liu Yunshang immediately put away the Flute of Space and Time... while expressing his respect and admiration for Sect Master Gu.
What? You're asking why we didn't fight back? How the hell could we fight back? They're giving us way too much!
The people from the East Moon Pavilion entered Vast Heaven Sect in a daze. The Grand Elder personally arranged a place for them to rest, but it took them a full ten minutes after the Grand Elder left before they finally came to their senses.
Liu Yunshang repeatedly took out the Flute of Space and Time from his Qiankun Ring to confirm its authenticity, then put it back, then took it out again to confirm...
After checking more than ten times, it was finally confirmed that the Flute of Space and Time was working correctly.
The Flute of Space and Time is fine, but the Clear Vast Heaven Sect is...
Why are you sending such trivial gifts without warning? What are you trying to achieve?
A group of elders also found Liu Yunshang with their respective top-grade spiritual weapons, and then everyone gathered around to look at the Flute of Space and Time... After confirming that the Flute of Space and Time could not possibly have any flaws, the people of the East Moon Pavilion sat together and all fell into deep thought.
The Grand Elder of the East Moon Pavilion even looked at Liu Yunshang with a strange expression. It was rumored that the Sect Master and Gu Mingchao had trained together for a long time when they were young. Could there have been some unspeakable things during their training?
Otherwise, why would Gu Mingchao have given us the Flute of Space and Time?
So, Sect Leader, what exactly did you betray back then? And how should we address Gu Mingchao?
However, this was clearly not the time to consider what to betray or how to address Gu Mingchao. Liu Yunshang's eyes were somewhat dazed as he looked at the many elders who were constantly marveling at the Flute of Space and Time.
Logically speaking... since the Vast Heaven Sect invited us to this joyous occasion, everyone should give a gift. But we just joined the Vast Heaven Sect and haven't even given our gifts yet, and the Vast Heaven Sect throws this "Flute of Space and Time" attack at us. Is that polite?
But could the Vast Heaven Sect possibly repeat such impolite behavior a few more times?
Gu Mingchao... From now on, if you ever insult me in this way again, then please feel free to insult me! I, Liu Yunshang, will absolutely not argue with you anymore!
But the Flute of Space and Time was accepted, and now it's awkwardly ended up at the East Moon Pavilion.
The Grand Elder of the East Moon Pavilion took out a congratulatory gift prepared for the Vast Heaven Sect, which was a low-grade sacred artifact!
To be honest, this gift is quite heavy, but since it's a congratulatory gift for the Vast Heaven Sect, the number one sect in the world, its weight is not a big deal.
The problem is... this low-grade sacred artifact, which should have been a valuable gift, was completely destroyed by the Vast Heaven Sect's small but meaningful gift, leaving not even a trace.
Do we still offer this at the East Moon Pavilion now?
The group of elders looked at each other, and finally, they understood the answer from each other's expressions.
If East Moon Pavilion had even a shred of self-respect, we wouldn't be able to offer this congratulatory gift at all...
What will people say if I take this out?
Are you dumping trash here at the East Moon Pavilion?
