"What, thirty million Chaos Spirit Crystals?!" Inside the cave abode, Ma Hou, who had been lounging in a bamboo chair, nearly jumped out of his seat at the news.
"How is that possible? Even I don't have thirty million Chaos Spirit Crystals. How could Qin Hao, a newly admitted disciple, have that many?"
"What exactly happened?"
Ma Hou could no longer sit still and began asking for details.
A moment later.
Ma Hou's expression shifted uncertainly.
The master of the Agarwood Pavilion had personally received him!
That alone spoke volumes.
"He might have more than thirty million Chaos Spirit Crystals."
Ma Hou reached that conclusion.
He judged this because the master of the Agarwood Pavilion had not only appeared of his own accord, but had also blocked out their voices to prevent outsiders from listening in.
"Should I report this to Senior Brother Pei?"
Like the gray-robed man, Ma Hou began to hesitate.
Thirty million Chaos Spirit Crystals, or even... far more than that.
So many Chaos Spirit Crystals would certainly be useful to Pei Jinye as well.
But...
They held an even more irresistible allure for Ma Hou.
"No rush, no rush. Let's wait and see."
"Senior Brother Pei told me to teach Qin Hao a lesson, but he didn't specify how. If necessary, I can report to him afterward..."
That was all Ma Hou could tell himself. Yet he also knew full well that if Pei Jinye did not ask... he had no intention of reporting it.
His so-called report afterward was nothing more than firing a cannon after the battle was over.
What Ma Hou truly wanted was to keep the whole feast for himself!
"Judging by the time, Senior Brother Pei should already have left Sword Mound Star..."
Ma Hou pondered.
What he did not know
