711 -709: It’s Time for You to Leave!
[Eighth Update]
“It seems I’ve won this bet!”
Xiao Yi’s lips curved slightly upward as he sized up Chai Hu and the others.
Chai Hu gave a bitter smile and said, “You won, you’ve won!
To be able to see such a large piece of the ‘Mother of Gengjin’, I am willing to accept the loss.
I will have someone prepare the Spirit Vein map as soon as possible…”
“I’d also like to willingly accept the loss, but…”
Master Cheng glanced at the one-and-a-half-pound ‘Mother of Gengjin’ with a mournful face: “I…
I just can’t swallow this stone…”
Seeing Master Cheng’s face filled with bitterness and grievance, Xiao Yi felt amused but didn’t really have the mind to be petty with him.
Strictly speaking, he had cheated in this bet, standing on invincible ground from the start.
Besides, his intention for participating was solely for the Spirit Vein map.
Now that he would get the map, he naturally would not drive them to their doom, and said, “Master Cheng, how could I truly make you swallow it?
I just can’t bear to part with it!”
Master Cheng was startled, and looked at Xiao Yi with profound gratitude: “Thank you for your generosity, young friend.
My heart is truly warmed and convinced!”
“Heroes emerge from the young!” sighed Master Liu.
Master Xun spoke with sparkling eyes: “Young fellow, I have an audacious request.
My Chai Family is hosting a banquet tomorrow night and many guests will be attending.
Could we perhaps borrow this piece of the ‘Mother of Gengjin’ to exhibit at the banquet?
Of course, as a token of our gratitude, we are willing to pay a hundred billion Silver as remuneration!”
Chai Hu and the rest also looked at Xiao Yi expectantly.
After all, the ‘Mother of Gengjin’ was worth trillions!
If they could exhibit it at the banquet, it would undoubtedly earn the Chai Family of Giant Peak City an enormous reputation…
A hundred billion Silver for just one night of exhibition!
For Xiao Yi, this was a tremendously profitable deal!
However…
Xiao Yi shook his head.
Seeing this, Master Xun and the others, though somewhat reluctant, also felt helpless.
Master Xun let out a sigh: “Alas, it seems the Chai Family and this treasure are not fated…”
But Xiao Yi laughed and said, “Master Xun, you misunderstand!
What I mean is, there’s no need for any remuneration.
I’ll give you this ‘Mother of Gengjin’.
However, I need the most detailed Spirit Vein map!”
Hiss!
The four onlookers exchanged glances, baffled.
To give away a trillion-Silver treasure just like that?
Only in exchange for a Spirit Vein map?
Gulp!
Master Xun couldn’t believe it and asked, “Y-young brother, are you…
are you serious?”
Xiao Yi nodded.
After all, it was made from the five hundred pounds of Gengjin that he had borrowed from the Chai Family, and he had refined it with the aid of the Longevity Cauldron—there was no loss for him, as it was merely returning property to its original owner.
Of course…
The most important thing was that Xiao Yi greatly admired the character of the several people from the Chai Family.
If the Chai Family had been like Chen Jing, he might as well have offered them a piece of hair…
“This…
this…
this…”
Chai Hu and the others were simply too shocked to speak.
This was a trillion-Silver treasure, which even a master from the Longevity Secret Realm would not casually give away.
Yet Xiao Yi was so generous.
For a moment…
The figure of Xiao Yi in their eyes had risen to an imposing stature.
Phew!
Master Xun let out a deep breath, bowed deeply to Xiao Yi, and said solemnly, “Lord Xiao, from now on you are the fourth Supreme Venerable guest of honor of our Chai Family!
Whenever you ask, as long as it’s within our power, we will not refuse!”
He had even changed the way he addressed him.
“Master Xun, there’s no need for such formality!”
Xiao Yi smiled and didn’t mind the change in address, and said, “Just don’t forget my Spirit Vein map!”
“We will never forget!”
Master Xun hastily waved his hand, saying, “Rest assured, Lord Xiao, the most detailed Spirit Vein map will be placed in your hands at the banquet tomorrow night.” After pausing, he added, “Lord Xiao, would you be interested in attending tomorrow’s banquet?”
“A banquet?”
Xiao Yi was taken aback.
He remembered that Chen Jing had also mentioned she would take him to the banquet tomorrow to introduce him to the Chai Family.
Xiao Yi stroked his chin, muttering to himself, “If they see me at the Chai Family banquet, their heads will probably be buzzing…”
At that thought,
Xiao Yi’s mouth curved into a playful smile as he said, “Tomorrow, I must definitely prepare to attend the banquet!”
“That’s fantastic!”
“For Lord Xiao to agree to attend our banquet, this truly brings glory to our Chai Family!”
Chai Hu said with a smile, “Then I must let my father know, and we’ll have to upgrade tomorrow night’s banquet to the highest standard!”
“It must be the highest standard!”
The others chimed in one after another.
Xiao Yi did not refuse; on the contrary, he was somewhat looking forward to seeing what Chen Jing’s expression would be like when she saw him tomorrow…
…
The next day, in the evening.
The whole of Giant Peak City was bustling with excitement.
Anyone who was someone had gathered at the lord’s mansion.
Each person was followed by at least one carriage responsible for transporting gifts, the sound of bustling voices filled the air, creating a festive atmosphere.
As the president of Titan Commerce Chamber, the most prominent commerce chamber in Giant Peak City, Chen Jing’s appearance caused quite a stir.
Many eagerly approached her, trying to curry favor: “President Chen, our contract is about to expire.
When might you have the time to discuss its renewal?”
“President Chen, about that batch of goods…”
Chen Jing smiled, but the arrogance in her eyes was not concealed in the slightest.
“Today is just for the banquet; we won’t discuss business matters!”
Zhou Wulong and Tai Shan followed closely by her side.
Both had an air of indifference about them.
“Damn it, if they didn’t have the support of the Chai Family, what would Titan Commerce Chamber count for?”
“This woman is always so full of herself.
With her stubbornness, she’s bound to suffer sooner or later!”
“Cut the chatter.
As long as their relationship with the Chai Family doesn’t break, we can do nothing but look up to them…”
The crowd was teeth-grindingly annoyed, yet helpless.
Upon entering the banquet hall,
Zhou Wulong suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure in the corner.
It was Xiao Yi.
At the moment…
he was sitting alone in the corner, holding a dish of meat, while Little Lin lay on the plate, slowly nibbling.
Sensing Zhou Wulong’s gaze, Little Lin looked up at him, then continued nibbling away.
Zhou Wulong nudged Tai Shan, “Isn’t that Xiao Chen over there?”
“Hmm?”
Tai Shan was taken aback, and indeed, it was Xiao Yi.
His eyes spun slyly, thinking about how he had lost a considerable amount of silver because of Xiao Yi, so he deliberately said loudly, “Wulong, doesn’t that guy look like the thief who stole five hundred catties of our ‘gengjin’?”
Zhou Wulong feigned hesitation.
Noticing the crowd’s attention was on them, he pointed at Xiao Yi, saying excitedly, “Yes, that’s him…
even if he turned to ashes, I could recognize him!”
Chen Jing also glanced at Xiao Yi in the corner, a hint of icy coldness flashing in her eyes, showing no intention of stopping the two men.
Following the direction Zhou Wulong pointed in, the crowd began to murmur among themselves, “That young man looks quite handsome and sunny.
Who would’ve thought he’d be a thief?”
“This just goes to show you can’t judge a book by its cover!”
“What’s the Chai Family’s security doing?
Can just any Tom, Dick, or Harry enter this level of a banquet?”
Listening to the surrounding chatter, Zhou Wulong’s heart blossomed with joy.
He cleared his throat, strode directly over to him, and berated him righteously, “Xiao Chen, who gave you the gall to crash the Chai Family’s event?
Are you planning to keep thieving here?
This is not a place for you, scram!”
Facing Zhou Wulong’s rebuke,
the corners of Xiao Yi’s mouth lifted slightly, and he said with a light chuckle, “In my opinion, the person who should scram is you!”
