Swish!
The air all around was abruptly frozen. All the people in the area were surprised, and they couldn’t believe what they had just heard.
What did he say just now?
Throw those incapable old farts out?
“Holy crap!”
“Is he insane?”
“They include nine Star Master Alchemists and one Star Grandmaster Alchemist! Even if you have reached Level 2 or Level 3 of the Great Vehicle Stage, you can’t throw the Master Alchemists and Grandmaster Alchemist out at will!”
“No, the worst part is that he threatened Lord Zeng!”
“He tried to tell Lord Zeng that he wouldn’t save the little Princess if the Demonic Pill Old Man, Yun Yang Zi, and Zhuo Feng were not thrown out!”
“He is embarrassing Lord Zeng! Is it really necessary?”
Many people shook their heads in shock.
In this way, even if Xu Que could save the little Princess, Lord Zeng will never forgive him after that. I guess Lord Zeng might even retaliate for what he did today!
This is really unnecessary!
Did he just want to vent his anger by doing that?
“My young friend, this…” Lord Zeng frowned and didn’t know what to say at this time. He knew clearly Xu Que’s arrogance came from his confidence in curing the disease of his daughter. However, his request was too embarrassing! Of course, if Xu Que insisted on throwing them out, he would have to do it, for it was related to the life of his daughter.
And this issue would end up as all the onlookers predicted – Lord Zeng would never get along with Xu Que after that, for he thought Xu Que was definitely a psycho!
“Lord Zeng, stop your hesitation, this is your daughter! She is still a little girl. Do you really have the heart to watch her starvation?” Xu Que continued trying to persuade him.
Everyone in the area, including Lord Zeng, twitched their lips in anger and were very anxious to beat this guy to death!
It turns out you also know the little Princess is a little girl!
How the hell could you threaten Lord Zeng with her life?
“Humph! What a despicable bastard! It is not necessary to embarrass Lord Zeng. We will leave on our own!” The Demonic Pill Old Man snorted at this time. He wanted to leave voluntarily to do Lord Zeng a favor.
“Wait!” Xu Que shouted immediately. Then he sneered. “Who said you could leave on your own? I want you to be thrown out! Do you understand human language?”
“Little bastard, are you really going to have a desperate fight with us today?” the Demonic Pill Old Man shouted angrily. He was almost driven mad by anger. Because he worried that if he was really thrown out, he would become the laughingstock of the entire Xuanzhen Continent in the future.
“My young friend, could you please do me a favor?” Lord Zeng sighed and asked in a begging tone at last.
“Do you a favor?” Xu Que rolled his eyes and shouted abruptly, “Never! I am the one who was insulted. Lord Zeng, I don’t want to make trouble. They went too far this time. I want them to be thrown out because I want to show due respect to you! Otherwise, the three of them would have died a long time ago according to the rules of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”
Then, Xu Que continued to say with a cold smile, “Don’t doubt my words. None of those who are targeted by the Exploding Heavens Faction can survive! Today, nobody could change my mind. Just throw them out, for this is my bottom line!”
His words froze all the air in this area.
The Demonic Pill Old Man and another two Master Alchemists almost burst with anger. If Lord Zeng had not been here, they would have already attacked Xu Que! Lord Zeng was hesitating about whether he should throw them out.
At this time, a warrior monk in the crowd frowned at this messy situation. After a short hesitation, he sent a secret message to Lord Zeng.
After receiving his message, Lord Zeng’s eyes lit up, and he became much more certain about what he wanted to do.
“Are you sure they were here for a medication?” Lord Zeng replied to the monk.
“Yes, Lord Zeng, I gave a Divine Pill Plate to him. He came here to ask for a medication from you. When he knew the problem of the little Princess, he narrated the cause confidently. Therefore, I asked him to participate in this convention. I didn’t expect…”
“It’s OK. It’s not your fault, so don’t blame yourself. If he really came here to ask for a medication from me, I’m afraid only the medication could attract his attention now.…” Lord Zeng said, as if he had made up his mind.
He looked up at Xu Que as he waved his hand slightly to take out a jade box from his storage ring.
“My young friend, I’ve heard you were here to ask for a medication from me. The only medication I have which is valuable is this Celestial Concealment Herb. Do you…?” Lord Zeng asked.
Before Lord Zeng could finish his words, Xu Que walked up and received the jade box with a shiny smile on his face.
“Thank you, Lord Zeng! Let’s forget all about our argument! After all, it was just a trifle. It is quite normal for people who are full of sentiment to quarrel and dispute! It is not necessary to damage our friendship!”
After saying that, Xu Que turned to the Demonic Pill Old Man and asked earnestly, “Right? Demonic Pill Old Man? We should drink tea together when we have time!”
Nobody wants to drinking your crappy tea!
The Demonic Pill Old Man’s lips twitched, and he almost spat blood.
The rest of the people, including Lord Zeng, after rolling their eyes, were also stunned and almost passed out because of the tremendous change in Xu Que’s attitude.
Where is your determination?
Didn’t you say you will obey the rules of the Exploding Heavens Faction?
Didn’t you say your bottom line is to throw them out?
Do you really have a bottom line?
Everyone was completely dumbfounded by Xu Que’s shameless actions. Now all of them knew the reason that Xu Que had made so much noise and trouble here was to obtain that Celestial Concealment Herb!
“OK, OK, guys, just mind your own business! I will start to cure little Princess’s disease now. What a poor girl. She has been tortured by the anorexia for such a long time. I can’t watch it anymore!”
Xu Que walked to the little Princess as he took out another lollipop. Then, he said like an amiable brother, “Little Princess, just stay here and enjoy this candy. I will prepare something more delicious for you!”
“OK, thank you, big brother!” The Princess replied with a shiny smile as she held the lollipop tightly in her hands.
The rest of the people in the area were almost driven mad.
This guy is really good at switching between an angel and a devil!
On the other hand, a strand of a smile appeared on Lord Zeng’s face at last. His heart was at rest when he saw that his daughter was eating something happily.
“Lord Zeng, I will start to refine pills now. I will do my best to save your daughter, but my ingredients are quite expensive. If the little Princess would regain her appetite,…” Xu Que said perplexedly as he looked at Lord Zeng at this time.
Lord Zeng replied immediately, “My young friend, please don’t worry. No matter how expensive your ingredients are, I will compensate you by doubling the price of your ingredients!”
“Eh, Lord Zeng, this is really not necessary! Actually, I also know some Buddhism. To save a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I will never stand aside when someone is in peril! Moreover, money will ruin our friendship! So, Lord Zeng, please do me a favor and don’t insult me with money anymore!” Xu Que said with his face full of righteousness.
To save a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda?
Lord Zeng was surprised by Xu Que’s words as he stared at Xu Que in disbelief.
How could these words that are full of Buddhist wisdom be uttered by such a person? Is this guy also a Buddhist?
No, this is definitely impossible!
If this guy is a Buddhist, Buddhism will be stained by him!
“Eh, I really appreciate your noble character and sterling integrity, my young friend, and please forgive my scanty consideration!” Lord Zeng replied with a faint smile as he nodded his head. He didn’t want to ask Xu Que where he had learned that Buddhist term.
“You flatter me, Lord Zeng! Actually, I do have a small request!” Xu Que stated with a smile.
The onlookers were not surprised. Their faces were full of the expression of “I knew it”.
Lord Zeng, who had also anticipated this, replied by nodding his head immediately, “My young friend, if you can cure my daughter’s disease, I will do whatever I can to satisfy all your requests as I promised before!”
“Great! That’s why you are Lord Zeng! In fact, I offended a tough guy recently. Of course, I’m not afraid of him. I just don’t want to deal with him personally. Therefore, I hope Lord Zeng could help me to…” Xu Que said as he looked at Lord Zeng.
Lord Zeng said immediately, “Now I know what happened. Don’t worry, my young friend. I can’t promise you a lot of things, but at least I am confident that I can protect your safety in the Xuanzhen Continent! However, I can’t stay with you all the time. So, this time, I will help you to deal with your enemy!”
“Your words really reassure me, Lord Zeng! OK, I will start to refine the pills!” Xu Que walked to his Pill Refining Furnace as he winked at Jiang Hongyan who was in the crowd.
Jiang Hongyan has been totally dumbfounded by his actions. She didn’t expect that Xu Que would manage to obtain the Celestial Concealment Herb before saving the little Princess. Moreover, if he could save the little Princess, Lord Zeng would help them to deal with their enemy!
My little brat…you are really awesome!
