Yan Wuming asked, "Boss Xiao, aren't you happy about the tip for Dean Xie? Why aren't you smiling?"
LOL!
Laugh at your mother!
Xiao Tianzi was already ready to hit someone, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only manage a forced laugh.
Xie Feng visibly chuckled upon seeing the former!
I couldn't borrow any money yesterday, but I ran into those two again today.
What luck!
Because of Yan Wuming's attention, Xiao Tianzi instantly became the center of attention, with everyone looking at him and whispering among themselves.
"I've met Boss Xiao; he's incredibly wealthy! He usually gives gifts starting at 500 million!"
"All the money in the Dao Realm circulates through the Floating World Bank. No wonder Boss Xiao is so incredibly wealthy. Look at him, his physique is directly proportional to his riches!"
"If we don't come up with at least a billion or two, we'll be stingy!"
Hearing this, Xie Feng wanted to laugh, Xiao Tianzi wanted to cry.
What's wrong with being rich?
Are these people feeling resentful or unfair?
I just wanted to make him lose money!
Well, since I'm already in a bind, I might as well just pay up to avoid further trouble.
Xiao Tianzi resigned himself to his bad luck. He took out a purple crystal card and smiled through gritted teeth:
"Dean Xie, your literary talent is unparalleled; the Preface to Tengwang Pavilion will surely be a timeless masterpiece. As the owner of Floating World Bank, I naturally wish to express my gratitude with this ten billion. I hope you will accept it with a smile!"
Please accept this.
Do you even need to tell me?
Xie Feng raised the corners of his mouth, his smile as warm and gentle as the spring sunshine in March. However, surprisingly, he did not accept the Purple Crystal Card!
Xiao Tianzi was taken aback. "What does this mean?"
Do you look down on him?
Why not accept it? His hand was raised in mid-air, it was so awkward!
Yan Wuming also found it strange. "Dean Xie, is there a problem?"
"I just feel that the value of the Preface to Tengwang Pavilion is not that high. Boss Xiao is too generous. I am unworthy of such a reward!" Xie Feng declined.
"Oh dear, Dean Xie, what are you saying? The preface to the Tengwang Pavilion is exceptionally well-written and has caused a sensation throughout the land. It's worth any amount of reward!" Yan Wuming hurriedly said.
The Xiao Tianzi couldn't get a word in edgewise...
He didn't believe Xie Feng was being so kind as to refuse his money!
Absolutely amazing!
No!
Can!
able!
He experienced the dean's methods firsthand yesterday; he'd rip you off without hesitation! His current statements are definitely part of a larger, more despicable scheme!
As his expression shifted, Xie Feng suddenly put his hands behind his back, smiled, and asked, "Boss Xiao, what do you think of my preface?"
Xiao Tianzi broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
His intuition told him there was definitely a plot hole! Isn't the writing so poorly obvious to everyone?
How should he answer so he doesn't get tricked?
After a moment's consideration, the Xiao Tianzi said, "It is worthy of becoming a classic for posterity!"
Xie Feng asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xiao Tianzi said, "Your writing is brilliant, every word is precious!"
Xie Feng nodded, then asked, "If this article is worth a thousand pieces of gold per word, does Boss Xiao think it's worth it?"
Without a second thought, the carefree Xiao Tianzi replied, "Worth it!"
"Very well! As Boss Xiao said, a single word is worth a thousand pieces of gold, which is equivalent to a thousand taels of gold! According to the rules of the Dao Realm, one thousand taels of gold is approximately ten million Dao Crystal. My article has 773 words in total, so at ten million per word, that's a total of seven billion seven hundred and thirty million. Wow, Boss Xiao is so generous! I appreciate your kind offer!"
Xie Feng spoke eloquently.
after...
He held out his hand, asking for money!
Xiao Tianzi was dumbfounded!
This guy kept talking nonstop, completely confusing him.
Wait a minute!
What did he say?
"A single word worth a thousand pieces of gold" clearly refers to a thousand Dao Crystal, so how did it become a thousand taels of gold?
besides!
When did he say he would give so much?
This is robbery!
Xiao Tianzi flushed red instantly.
Academician Meng shook his head in shock. "In terms of reward money, it has to be Boss Xiao!"
General Wang said, "Boss Xiao is so generous! I am ashamed to admit my inferiority!"
Is he generous?
Generous my ass!
I've been scammed! Scammed! Scammed!
Important things must be said three times!
Xiao Tianzi was on the verge of tears, but he couldn't very well refuse in front of everyone, otherwise he would be criticized for being stingy, lose face, and even damage his reputation.
Dean Xie, you're really amazing!
Xiao Tianzi glared fiercely at Xie Feng, almost grinding his teeth to powder.
He took out a card and reluctantly handed it over.
Xie Feng accepted the gift with a smile, "Thank you for the tip, Boss Xie. I'll visit the bank when I have time, have some tea and chat with you, and let's get to know each other better!"
Xiao Tianzi Pi gritted his teeth and smiled, "Alright! Hehe, hehe..."
He was so angry he wanted to kill someone...
This guy is so mean, he can't just bully people like that...
Boss Xiao felt wronged.
Xie Feng was in a great mood as he looked at the amethyst card containing 7.73 billion.
Kong Qiusu asked, "Do you have a grudge against him?"
Xie Feng asked, "Who? The Xiao Tianzi?"
Kong Qiusu: "Hmm!"
Xie Feng smiled and said, "I'm a bit short on cash. I tried to borrow some money from him yesterday, but I couldn't. It's not like we have a grudge; he's actually quite generous!"
Kong Qiusu's voice was slightly cold. "Go to Floating World Bank tonight."
Xie Feng frowned. "What are you doing? Trying to hit someone? You're a scholar, don't be so belligerent!"
Kong Qiusu: "I have the best temper among all my fellow disciples, how could I kill someone?"
Xie Feng: "You have a good temper, yet you turned Li Mao into an idiot?"
Kong Qiusu: "These kinds of people are ignorant, foolish, and lack higher desires. For them, it's easier to be a foolish idiot than a scholar who thinks all day long."
Xie Feng: "Is being a fool easy? Why don't you become one?"
Kong Qiusu: "I'm destined to be a busybody, so let's leave this kind of happiness to others."
Xie Feng: "..."
The banquet at the Tengwang Pavilion has come to an end. The biggest winner at this banquet was not Yan Wuming, but Xie Feng!
He not only became world-famous for his " Preface to Tengwang Pavilion ", but also received the inheritance of Military Confucian, greatly increasing his cultivation; and he even received a reward of 10 billion!
After the banquet, Yan Wuming offered another 100 billion to buy the right to use the Preface to Tengwang Pavilion for one year!
This money was the only money he could get by selling his house. He spent such a high price because he wanted to make money from it!
Once the original work is framed in the Tengwang Pavilion, tourists from all over the country will flock to it, and he can then make money by charging admission fees!
Sometimes Yan Wuming felt that it was a waste of his talents to be a scholar. If he had gone into business, he wouldn't have the status of Floating World Bank now!
After the banquet, Xie Feng did not return to the Pill Maple Academy, but instead went with Shui Yunjun to the imperial capital, Literary Emperor Palace, located in the central region.
Night falls.
He lit a candle and began reading at his desk.
But he couldn't continue reading.
My mind is not at peace!
At the Xuanji Sect, he didn't have much contact with his senior brother, and they were even quite estranged, but they were both very close to Ge Ya.
But at this moment, in this other world, seeing his senior brother, the emotional connection of being from the same sect and master made him feel incredibly close to his senior brother!
So much so that...
I feel like saying something...
