Wang Yi was stunned by the brat's antics. Was this really a thief crying thief?
Not only was he not angry, he found it rather amusing.
Well, well. This kid had actually bullied him.
"Hmm?" The commotion drew the attention of the nearby guards at once.
Qiu Tuyou was feeling immensely pleased with himself.
He swiftly retreated back within the sect's formation range. Looking at the slightly plump white-robed elder standing there, he curled his lips. "Hmph, what an idiot. He actually dared to hand the goods over to me so trustingly. Once they're in my hands, they're mine. Does he really dare cause trouble in the Star Fate Sect? Even if he does, I'm not afraid."
Although he had traded with Wang Yi earlier, they had communicated through private voice transmissions, so no one else had heard them. And his snatching of the storage ring had happened in an instant; those guards probably had not even noticed.
And even if someone had noticed, so what? Could they possibly side with an outsider? He was the Star Fate Sect Master's new favorite. He believed these guards would wisely choose a side—and stand with him.
His deliberate shout had also been meant to smear Wang Yi's name, make him wary, and force him to leave.
If Wang Yi left, he could swallow the treasure without any qualms.
As for offending someone? What a joke. With the Star Fate Sect, the greatest local overlord, backing him, would he fear a mere Eternal True God?
Perhaps if he whispered a few sweet words in the Star Fate Sect Master's ear, she would simply wipe the other party out!
With such support, how could Qiu Tuyou possibly take an Eternal True God who had come knocking on his door seriously?
