The Cloud Margin Restaurant was one of the businesses of the Cloud Margin Pavilion, and since even Cloud Margin City's governor was an elder of the Cloud Margin Pavilion, n.o.body was stupid enough to create trouble in the restaurant. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun and Mo Mo would be safe so long as they remained in the restaurant.

When Gong Qinyin and Gong Lianda appeared at the restaurant, Xiang Shaoyun came out of his room to greet them. He did not meet them with his real appearance. Rather, he had the human skin mask on. Hiding his ident.i.ty would only save him from more trouble down the line.

”Greetings, Lord Lianda,” Xiang Shaoyun greeted Gong Lianda respectfully.

Gong Lianda scanned both Xiang Shaoyun and Mo Mo, and when he saw their cultivation level, he started taking them lightly just like Wen Dongyou before. In a sense, it was a sin for a mere Transformation Realm cultivator to possess emperor-grade materials.

”Forget the pleasantries. Now, show me if you really have the top-quality goldsteel stone,” said Gong Lianda.

”No problem.” Xiang Shaoyun agreed and took out a several-catty-heavy top-quality goldsteel stone.

Gong Lianda studied the stone seriously for a bit as his eyes slowly started glowing. ”This is really a top-quality goldsteel stone!”

”Consider this a gift from me for the occasion of our first meeting. Please accept it,” offered Xiang Shaoyun tactfully.

Gong Lianda was instantly overjoyed. Although the Gong Clan was not a blacksmithing clan, obtaining an emperor-grade material was still a great harvest for them. After all, this stone was worth at least a few thousand low-grade spirit crystals, and it could even be used to forge emperor-grade weapons. It was an extremely rare material that he couldn't say no to.

”How can I accept such a valuable gift?” Gong Lianda said, but his actions did not match his words at all as he had already stowed the stone away. After accepting the gift, Gong Lianda's impression of Xiang Shaoyun became much more favorable.

”Let's not waste any more time, we should get going to the Cloud Margin Forging Pavilion,” Xiang Shaoyun suggested.

”Alright. Let's go. Let's see if the Wen Clan dares to stop us,” said Gong Lianda with his chest puffed out.

Thus, the group walked out of the restaurant. But right after they left, the people from the Wen Clan appeared and blocked their way.

”Audacious, you dare block the path of this King?” Gong Lianda berated.

”Ah, so it's Uncle Gong. I am Wen Jinnuo. Wen Dongyou is my father,” Wen Jinnuo stepped forth and introduced himself. He went straight to the point, ”Uncle Gong, the two behind you are the people the Wen Clan is hunting. Please do not get involved in this.”

Wen Jinnuo had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would get help from the Gong Clan so quickly. He was certain Gong Qinyin played a role in that, and his resentment deepened at that realization.

s.l.u.t, when I'm done with this, I will definitely make you lie down before me, Wen Jinnuo said inwardly.

”They are the distant relatives of the Gong Clan. How can we let you take them as you wish? You better move aside, or you will have to bear the consequences,” Gong Lianda said loudly.

He had brought a large group of people with him. Thus, he did not fear the Wen Clan. This was a bet he had to make. So long as he could establish a friends.h.i.+p with the elder of the Cloud Margin Forging Pavilion, everything would be better.

”Are you sure? Is the Wen Clan nothing for the Gong Clan now?” Wen Jinnuo questioned as he was starting to feel displeased.

”I do respect the Wen Clan, but that does not mean I will let you take my distant relative,” Gong Lianda answered. He added, ”Move aside or don't blame me for what happens next.”
