The Ning Family's gratitude was directly reflected in that Blessing Courtyard. No matter what they said, they refused to accept Feng Jun's money again.
They had originally thought that Feng Mountain Lord had merely sent someone with a message and expected them to seek help from Busheng the Real Person—he clearly had no idea of his own limits.
Yet by the time they reached Heavenheart Platform, the bodies had already been brought out. It seemed that the ones who had no idea of their own limits... were them!
Thus, the Ning Family absolutely refused to accept Feng Jun's twelve thousand Spirit Stones. They said that Busheng the Real Person had already handled the matter, and handled it beautifully, even eliminating all their future troubles. If he still insisted on paying, he would be looking down on the Ning Family.
Feng Jun, meanwhile, asked with a dark expression, "We agreed from the start that the payment would be this many Spirit Stones regardless of the outcome. Now you're going back on your word—do you take me for the sort of petty man who breaks his promises?"
"Or are you saying that if I hadn't been able to persuade Busheng the Real Person, you would have planned to pay me extra?"
The atmosphere between the two sides became extremely tense. Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought they were arguing over an uneven division of spoils.
Luo Shuchen had gone to Pacify Arms Mountain to cultivate. Huangfu Wuxia tried to mediate from the side, but it was of no use.
Just then, someone came to report, "Black Luan of the Red Phoenix Sect has arrived. She has entered the Red Phoenix Sect's Blessing Courtyard."
"Black Luan..." Huangfu Wuxia's mouth twitched slightly. "She isn't as easy to deal with as Bai Luan."
