Prince Chu's Estate Negotiation

Having already decided to move to the Central Divine Tower, Yi Yun returned to his free accommodation and packed his things, throwing all his luggage into his Space Ring.

After packing his things, Yi Yun had dinner at the canteen next to his free accommodation, but while he was eating, several uninvited guests arrived.

A young man, fanning himself with a smile, walked over and sat down opposite Yi Yun.

The man snapped his fan shut with a soft click. Yi Yun looked up and glanced at the man. Behind him were two attendants, the same young man who had previously summoned him to the Divine Moon Tower.

Besides these, there was another acquaintance— Yang Dingkun!

Yang Dingkun followed behind the young man holding the fan, so there was no doubt that the person waving the fan held a higher status in the Prince Chu's Estate's mansion than Yang Dingkun.

"This must be Brother Yi. I reserved a private room at Divine Moon Tower for a banquet with 1,200 Dragon Scale Rune, but Brother Yi didn't bother to accept the offer and preferred to eat in the canteen here. I've waited for an hour for nothing."

The young man holding the fan spoke with a smile, his words polite yet subtly sharp.

Even for the top 100 trial participants on the Heaven and Earth Ranking of Tai'a Divine City, spending 1,200 Dragon Scale Rune on a single meal was a bit of a financial strain.

Yi Yun slowly wiped his mouth, utterly speechless. Every time they ate, someone would come looking for trouble. Did these guys plan this all along?

"Let me introduce myself. I am Yang Yuefeng, from the Prince Chu's Estate. I have been in Tai'a Divine City for four years, and I am ashamed to say that my Heaven and Earth Ranking is around one hundred."

The young man, fanning himself, spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice rich and magnetic.

In the fourth year of the Tai'a Divine City, he ranked one hundredth on the Heaven and Earth Ranking. This ranking is, of course, very good for ordinary people.

However, for the younger generation of leaders in the Prince Chu's Estate, it was really not that great.

Even Yang Dingkun, whose status was clearly lower than Yang Yuefeng's, was ranked in the dozens, and Yang Dingkun was also younger than Yang Yuefeng.

However, Yi Yun knew that Yang Yuefeng's self-introduction, seemingly a show of weakness, was actually a demonstration of power. By revealing his weaknesses, he only highlighted Yang Yuefeng's strengths, otherwise he wouldn't be in a position above Yang Dingkun.

Yi Yun had read the Heaven, Earth, and Human Lists. He remembered the name Yang Yuefeng.

Yang Yuefeng, ranked tenth on the list!

Yang Yuefeng is ranked outside the top 100 on the Heaven and Earth Ranking, but tenth on the Human Ranking, which means he has special skills.

"So it's Young Master Yang. Is Young Master Yang Savage Heaven Master or an alchemist?"

"Ha! I am but a humble person, Yang, with only a little knowledge of the Savage Heaven Technique."

Yang Yuefeng spoke with apparent humility. In reality, however, Yang Yuefeng clearly extremely confident in his level of Savage Heaven Technique!

Being ranked tenth on the Human Ranking is itself a sign of mastering the Savage Heaven Technique!

It was precisely because of his mastery of the Savage Heaven Technique that Yang Yuefeng held such a position among the younger generation of the Prince Chu's Estate.

In fact, in many cases, large Lineage value the Savage Heaven Master more than a purely combat-oriented martial artist.

Outside of Tai'a Divine City, in other parts of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, the common currency is the Savage Bone Relic. Some special Savage Bone Relic can help martial artists break through realms, condense Dharma Aspect Totem, and evolve Dharma Aspect Totem —their effects are immense.

"So it's Master Yang," Yi Yun said calmly.

"Haha, I dare not accept the title of Celestial Master, but perhaps there is something I can do to help Brother Yi when he condenses his Dharma Aspect Totem in the future." Yang Yuefeng unintentionally demonstrated his level of Savage Heaven Technique. Only those high-level Savage Heaven Master can refine Savage Bone Relic that help condense Dharma Aspect Totem.

"Brother Yi, your time is precious, so I'll get straight to the point." Yang Yuefeng said, taking out a jade slip and handing it to Yi Yun. "Brother Yi, you may take a look..."

Yi Yun glanced at it and saw that it was the Prince Chu's Estate trying to win him over with the same conditions: sign Soul Contract, join the Prince Chu's Estate, and the rewards were nothing more than pills, fiefdoms, relics, and beautiful women as furnaces. However, all the conditions were much better than before, and even the beauties prepared for him were direct descendants of the Chu Family.

Sending the legitimate daughters of the Prince Chu's Estate's Mansion to the prodigies he wanted to win over as concubines not only satisfied the prodigies' vanity and desire for conquest, but also strengthened the relationship between those prodigies and the Prince Chu's Estate's Mansion, achieving two goals at once.

This made Yi Yun sigh, realizing that it is actually a tragedy for a girl born into a large Lineage if she does not have outstanding talent.

The Prince Chu's Estate's family had too many offspring. Sacrificing some less valuable direct descendants for the sake of the Lineage's interests was nothing. In large Lineage, marriage was basically not a matter of personal freedom.

Looking at these unoriginal conditions, Yi Yun lost interest. He discovered that, in addition to these conditions, even the <True Understanding of Laws> that Yang Dingkun lost to him was included as one of the conditions.

"Using the lost bet as a condition?" Yi Yun frowned slightly.

He pushed the jade slip back, saying, "Sorry, not interested."

"That's... truly a pity..." Yang Yuefeng shook his head. "Then please, Brother Yi, return the jade slip containing the <True Understanding of Laws. According to the rules of the Prince Chu's Estate, only members of the Prince Chu's Estate's Mansion can cultivate the <True Understanding of Laws of the Laws>. If Brother Yi is willing to accept the conditions on the jade slip and join the Prince Chu's Estate, you can cultivate the <True Explanation of the Laws> at your leisure. However, if Brother Yi is unwilling, please return the jade slip. According to the rules of the Prince Chu's Estate, Ding Kun originally had no right to use the <True Understanding of Laws> to wager with you, so this wager is actually invalid. For this reason, the Prince Chu's Estate has severely punished Ding Kun, demoting his Lineage status by three ranks! They have also ordered me to rectify this matter."

"Actually, if Brother Yi could sign a contract and join the Prince Chu's Estate, that would be a win-win situation. But since Brother Yi is unwilling, I'm in a difficult position..."

Yang Yuefeng spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone revealing his "sincerity."

Yi Yun chuckled upon hearing this. "Do you think you have anything to do with me, even half Dragon Scale Rune?"

Are you kidding me?

Anything involved in a wager is protected by the rules of Tai'a Divine City, regardless of whether it belongs to the Prince Chu's Estate or the Yang King's Mansion; even the Emperor himself couldn't change that.

What rules does the Prince Chu's Estate have? Tai'a Divine City doesn't care. The bet you made, if you lose, you lose. It doesn't count? Dream on!

"Brother Yi, don't be so quick to refuse me." Hearing Yi Yun's sarcastic words, Yang Yuefeng was not annoyed. Instead, he continued calmly, "I know that you have the protection of Tai'a Divine City, but you will eventually have to leave Tai'a Divine City. It is not wise to offend the powerful Prince Chu's Estate ... Dingkun has already been punished by his Lineage for his wrongdoing this time. Moreover, I can also make Dingkun apologize to you."

As Yang Yuefeng spoke, he glanced at Yang Dingkun fists were clenched tightly, his eyes fixed on Yi Yun, filled with humiliation and resentment.

For someone as arrogant as him to apologize is a great insult. However, the apology that cost Yang Dingkun dearly was worthless to Yi Yun.

Yi Yun wiped his hands. "An apology can get you a Dragon Scale Rune? As for Yang Dingkun not having the right to use the <True Understanding of Laws> to gamble with me? Let me ask you, if I had lost to Li Hong, would you have returned the <Tai'a Sacred Law> to me?"

Yi Yun retorted, enunciating each word clearly. Yang Dingkun's eyes were bloodshot. "Yi Yun, I've already apologized. Don't push your luck!"

"Shut up!" Yang Yuefeng snapped, not wanting to escalate the situation.

This time, he tried his best to lower his stance. He knew that his request was unreasonable, but he was doing so out of respect for the Prince Chu's Estate's Mansion.

No matter where you are, the power of an individual will always be subject to the power of the stronger; that's the nature of might! What is unreasonable can become reasonable.

He believed that if he gave Yi Yun a way out, Yi Yun would still give in; a wise person knows when to yield.

"Twenty thousand Dragon Scale Rune, that's the compensation we can offer."

Yang Yuefeng laid out his conditions, which were what he had already prepared for: paying a sum of Dragon Scale Rune was Yang Yuefeng's bottom line and also a way out he was giving Yi Yun.

"Twenty thousand Dragon Scale Rune?" Yi Yun sneered inwardly. He had used ten thousand Dragon Scale Rune and two Glory Points to exchange for the <Tai'a Sacred Law>. Glory Points were extremely valuable; others would offer one hundred thousand or even tens of thousands of Dragon Scale Rune, but still couldn't get a single one.

Yang Yuefeng now wants to use 20,000 Dragon Scale Rune to redeem the bet that was equivalent in value to the <Tai'a Sacred Law>.

"That's enough to pay my rent for a month," Yi Yun said sarcastically.

Yang Yuefeng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this!

Behind him, his two attendants stared wide-eyed, and even Yang Dingkun was taken aback.

He spent 20,000 Dragon Scale Rune on room fees in a month? He moved to a residence on the sixtieth floor or higher of the Central Divine Tower?

The Central Divine Tower, as the super formation of Tai'a Divine City, is the gathering point of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi within a radius of millions of miles, which is one of the fundamental reasons why Tai'a Divine City can serve as the best training ground.

The trial participants of Tai'a Divine City all hope to live in the Central Divine Tower, which is not only a symbol of honor, but also greatly helpful to their cultivation.

Especially in residences above the sixtieth floor, the abundance of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is truly enviable!

They knew Yi Yun was wealthy, but even the richest people wouldn't dare spend money like that. Wasn't he afraid that once he ran out of wealth, he'd never be able to earn large sums of Dragon Scale Rune again?

"What exactly... are you asking for?" Yang Yuefeng's face darkened. Yi Yun's ability to stay in the Central Divine Tower with 20,000 Dragon Scale Rune for a month was clearly an insult, implying that the conditions he was offering were insignificant.

"Two Glory Points, an equivalent exchange." Yi Yun is currently studying the laws and is quite interested in comprehending this <True Understanding of Laws>.

However, even though Yi Yun didn't like the Prince Chu's Estate's Mansion, he preferred to avoid trouble and didn't want to offend it.

Two Glory Points are the price to exchange for the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, and the <True Understanding of Laws> is also worth that price.

Yi Yun may comply with the Prince Chu's Estate 'Prince Chu's Estate family rules, but she will not allow herself to be bullied simply because of it.

Equivalent exchange is Yi Yun's bottom line.

"Hey!" Hearing Yi Yun ask for two Glory Points, Yang Yuefeng's gaze darkened completely. "You really are... refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!" (To be continued~^~)
