Chu Bi said in a low voice, "Deputy Palace Master, that was the opportunity Steward Xiao obtained. You..."
Huang Changting swept Chu Bi with an icy glance. "Who asked you to meddle? I merely wish to borrow this treasure for a look. It is not as sordid as you imagine!"
After a pause, he looked back at Su Yi and smiled. "Besides, a treasure like this will have to be handed over to the sect sooner or later. What is wrong with letting me have a look first?"
Hand it over to the sect?
Everyone was startled at first, then immediately understood. The Deputy Palace Master was using the pretext of handing it over to the sect to pressure Xiao Jian!
Meanwhile, Su Yi toyed with the bronze lamp in his hand and said with a faint smile, "What if I refuse to hand it over?"
Huang Changting frowned. "Steward Xiao, do not let greed cloud your mind. With an immortal Dao treasure like this, a Lower God such as you is simply unqualified to possess it. Only by handing it over to the sect can its true value be brought into play."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, his imposing aura bearing down on Su Yi as he spread open his right hand. "Come, let me take a look first."
His gaze was cold and calm, as though the moment Su Yi dared refuse, he would strike without hesitation!
"Xiao Jian! Why have you not quickly offered up that treasure?"
Qian Hu reminded him from the side, "If not for the Deputy Palace Master bringing us here, how could you have had the chance to find such a treasure?"
Su Yi sighed. "Gentlemen, I have endured all the way here. Why must you press me so relentlessly?"
