Chapter 880: Full of Himself
As soon as Wei Zhixuan said that, everyone there was shocked, and even his subordinates turned a little red. The Wei family had been established in Wu Cang City for hundreds of years. After the establishment of the Jade Peak Sect, it became even more wealthy and powerful. They had done quite a bit of snatching, bullying, and other shameless things, but this was the first time he had spoken out so disgustingly.
Who didn’t know that the Golden Pill Sect’s former site had been preserved till this day due to its powerful mechanisms and arrays? It had nothing to do with the Wei family! Although the Wei family was powerful in Wu Cang City, they could not have had control over a place this far. ‘Abiding by the laws and morality of the sect and conserving the things in the Golden Pill Sect’ sounded even more nonsensical. If they had the ability to break through the array, they probably would have robbed everything ages ago, and the Su family would have been left empty-handed.
Only now did Ling Chuxi realize their motive: they had come to ask for protection money after connecting the dots that the Golden Pill Sect had found a crystal mine. It was also more likely than not that they fought with Jiang Wuhen because they wanted to take him as a hostage to show off their might.
It was common knowledge that the Sacred Realm of Sects was no paradise. In fact, from how things appeared, these so-called sects were actually no better than the ruffians and rascals of other countries—acting serious but talking rubbish.
“In that case, we should really thank you.” Ling Chuxi smiled sweetly, but she was seething on the inside. This man was really shameless and despicable, actually daring to utter such words! It was only natural that even his subordinates were embarrassed for him. If he was not the one with the most shameless and despicable personality, how could he have become their boss?
‘This fellow is going to be unlucky.’ Lan Xinyu looked at Wei Zhixuan with a gleeful smirk and began to silently mourn for him. Based on her understanding of Ling Chuxi, the calmer Ling Chuxi looked on the surface, the more furious she was. Soon, she would use some bombastic methods to take him down a notch. Thinking about how someone else was about to get abused by Ling Chuxi, Lan Xinyu’s heart was filled with joy. People who are often abused will feel a special sense of satisfaction when seeing others being abused.
“No need for thanks, just cut us a seventy percent share of your Golden Pill Sect’s crystal mine. Although, since you’re quite sensible, I don’t mind taking ten percent less—giving me sixty percent is fine too. Furthermore, I can take care of you guys a little. If you encounter any trouble in this area, just mention my name and your path will be smooth.” Wei Zhixuan didn’t know of Ling Chuxi’s ferocious temper. After hearing her words, he thought she was afraid of him, so he was a little full of himself.
The Golden Pill Sect had been one of the five major sects in the past, but they were bowing to him. Wei Zhixuan felt as satisfied and refreshed as someone drinking iced plum juice during the summer. Since he was in a good mood, Ling Chuxi became particularly pleasing to his eyes, so he was very ‘kind’ and took off ten percent, besides also promising to take good care of them.
Lan Xinyu almost burst out laughing, and pinched her thigh to stifle her laughter. ‘Can’t laugh… I must watch this show calmly! This Wei Zhixuan really is the best, hahaha! What will you do with such a generous ‘gift’, Ling Chuxi? Should you not show some gratitude?’
“Oh, then I would like to thank Sect Master Wei for your generosity. Really, I can’t thank you enough. Sect Master Wei is really a good person. Not only are you generous, but you also show loyalty.” Ling Chuxi flashed him a brilliant smile that charmed the hearts of everyone there.
“Hahaha! I, Wei Zhixuan, don’t have many good qualities, but as a person, I am generous and loyal. Little girl, you really have good judgment.” Wei Zhixuan almost ran out of breath while smiling so widely, puffing his chest out proudly like an oversized rooster.
