Conflict with Ice River Valley
"Hmph, what do you mean by first come, first served? I would have said it's the highest bidder wins!"
The middle-aged man in the white robe paused for a moment, then retorted confidently.
Seeing the other party's shameless behavior, Xiao Yi Xian's expression turned completely somber.
However, what the other party said wasn't entirely without merit.
However, in this situation, what is truly tested is the boss's bottom line.
From his perspective, selling the previously unwanted Heavenly Frost Poison Spider venom sac to either Xiao Yi Xian or the white-robed man would have been perfectly reasonable.
Selling it to Xiao Yi Xian follows the principle of first come, first served.
If it were sold to the later man in white and black robes, it would be the highest bidder.
Others might gossip, but they weren't entirely unable to understand the boss's choice.
After all, who wouldn't want to sell their goods for a higher price?
"Hey, what do you want? Want to fight? Let me tell you, don't be fooled by your numbers, we're not afraid of you!"
At the same time, Qing Lin, who was Xiao Yi Xian's best friend, naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Xiao Yi Xian sister be bullied, so she also stood up decisively.
As Qing Lin stepped forward, seven or eight men and women, also dressed in white with snowflake markings on their clothes, followed behind the middle-aged man in white robes and black robes.
The atmosphere between the two sides quickly became tense.
This scene had naturally already been noticed by other passersby.
Therefore, they all wore expressions that suggested they were enjoying the spectacle.
It just goes to show that watching the drama unfold is human nature!
At this moment, Xiao Lin, who had been hanging far behind Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, naturally noticed everything that was happening here.
However, he blended into the crowd and showed no intention of stepping forward.
Because Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin could handle those few little Karami.
However, although Xiao Lin did not intend to step forward, he already knew the identities of the group of people who were confronting Xiao Yi Xian.
"The guys from Ice River Valley, huh? Interesting. Or is it fate? You guys are really unlucky..."
As he muttered to himself, a playful look appeared on Xiao Lin's face.
In the Original Work, Ice River Valley was ultimately eliminated by Xiao Yan because it had its eyes on Little Xiao Yi Xian and repeatedly attacked her.
Unexpectedly, after such a drastic change in their lives, the people of Ice River Valley have run into Xiao Yi Xian again!
Keep in mind, this is Xiao Yi Xian's first time going out since arriving in Central Plains!
And then they still managed to run into people from Ice River Valley. Where can you even begin to reason with that?
Is this just a matter of timing and fate?
In the Original Work, Ice River Valley did not succeed.
Now that Xiao Yi Xian has joined the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, Ice River Valley has even less chance of achieving its goal!
With the intention of letting the two little girls practice on their own, Xiao Lin did not show himself at this moment.
Just as Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were confronting the group from Ice River Valley, some of the surrounding crowd, like Xiao Lin, recognized the group from Ice River Valley and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"Ah, isn't that the uniform of the Ice River Valley disciples?"
"Hiss~, they really do seem to be from Ice River Valley!"
"Who are those two pretty young girls, that they dare to go against the people of Ice River Valley?"
"I don't know. I've never seen them in Frost Whisper City before. They probably aren't from Frost Whisper City, right?"
"Does anyone know what happened? How did those two girls get into a conflict with the people from Ice River Valley?"
"Could it be those guys from Ice River Valley, lusting after those two girls?"
"Stop guessing. If I'm not mistaken, they're fighting over something at that stall, right?"
"Oh, how pitiful! Those two girls actually went up against the people from Ice River Valley. You know, the tyranny of the people from Ice River Valley is even greater than that of the Wind Lightning Pavilion!"
"Hopefully, those two girls will be sensible and not get into a conflict with the people from Ice River Valley, otherwise they'll be in big trouble!"
Similar discussions naturally reached the ears of Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian.
Although it's clear from the current situation that the people of Ice River Valley are trying to seize by force, and everyone sympathizes with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, the onlookers can only offer verbal support to the two women because of Ice River Valley's strength.
The reputation of Ice River Valley is still terrifying in the eyes of most cultivators!
"The people of Ice River Valley..."
Xiao Yi Xian muttered something to herself, but her expression remained unchanged.
Qing Lin, standing to the side, also showed no sign of fear.
Seeing that the two women, who had learned from others that they were from Ice River Valley, still showed no fear whatsoever, the white-robed man leading Ice River Valley felt a chill in his heart.
This proves that either the other party is a naive and impulsive person, like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger.
Either the forces behind it are not afraid of Ice River Valley at all!
If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter...
Tian Shuangzi is the First Elder of Ice River Valley and has the cultivation level of One-Star Dou Venerable Zun.
Although he was usually arrogant towards Ordinary cultivators, he would not easily offend people he could not afford to offend.
However, his valley master desperately needed the venom sacs of the Heavenly Frost Poison Spider, and he really didn't want to give them up!
Therefore, Tian Shuangzi's expression changed unpredictably for a moment.
However, at that moment, Wu Qi, the owner of the small stall, spoke up at the opportune moment.
"Ahem~, everyone from Ice River Valley, these two young ladies were the first to set their sights on the venom sacs of the Heavenly Frost Poison Spider. Although you were willing to offer a higher price, honesty is essential in business, so I can only apologize to you all."
Wu Qi's words at this moment clearly defused the conflict that was about to erupt completely.
As the owner of the Heavenly Frost Poison Spider's venom sac, he naturally had the right to decide who to sell it to.
And he was indeed a rare fair person; even when faced with a higher offer from Ice River Valley, he still chose to refuse without batting an eye!
However, although Wu Qi's words resolved the conflict between the two sides, they only made Tian Shuangzi's expression worse.
What's the meaning?
Is this a disrespect towards Ice River Valley?
He can give up something, but he can't accept being rejected by others!
Otherwise, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Ice River Valley?
"Sir, are you sure you want to sell the venom sacs of the Heavenly Frost Poison Spider to these two little girls? I see you're heavily poisoned and seriously injured. Be careful, the poison might take effect soon, and you might die from your injuries!"
At this moment, Tian Shuangzi's tone also carried a hint of threat.
Feeling humiliated, Tian Shuangzi no longer cared about the powerful forces behind Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
