Chapter 241 (1/2)

The older generation would not involve themselves in the conflicts of the younger generation. This was an unwritten rule in the Cloud Margin Pavilion. Otherwise, if the younger generation all threw the weight of their seniors around to affect how things worked for them, how would the pavilion hope to continue unearthing new talents?

That was why Xiang Shaoyun was so confidently speaking up against Xie Sanqian's guard. The guard clearly knew that unwritten rule as well.

An unhappy look surfaced on the guard's face as the guard said, ”Kid, know when to stop. Otherwise, you will only suffer losses in the future.”

That was a clear threat.

Xiang Shaoyun roared with laughter as he said, ”Hahaha, are you threatening me? Do you think you are above the rules? Are you trying to suppress me with your seniority? Are the elders of the pavilion nothing in your eyes?”

Faced with Xiang Shaoyun's series of questions, the guard's expression kept s.h.i.+fting. If those high-level elders heard those words, they would most likely a.s.sume that the guard was trying to challenge their authority.

Forced to take a milder approach, the guard asked, ”What will it take for you to let go of my young master?”

”See? Things would have been much easier if you had asked this question from the get-go,” Xiang Shaoyun replied, smiling. He continued, ”Well, that depends on how much your young master is worth to you.”

The guard frowned. ”I will get someone to deliver you 10,000 spirit crystals later.”

He was about to leave with Xie Sanqian when he heard what Xiang Shaoyun had to say next.

”Your young master is only worth that much? If news of this spread, he would lose all his face.”

”Hmph. I'm referring to mid-grade spirit crystals,” said the guard with a cold snort before lifting Xie Sanqian and leaving without looking back.

Xiang Shaoyun blanked out slightly before bursting out in laughter, ”Hahaha, thank you very much. Oh, be sure to ask around about where I'm currently staying. Don't get the delivery address wrong.”

He had a.s.sumed that the 10,000 spirit crystals would be low grade, but surprisingly, that old man was actually offering mid-grade spirit crystals. That was a price enough to put a hit on even a Skysoar Realm expert.

But that also served as proof of Xie Sanqian's remarkable background. He was definitely more than just a personal disciple of some elder. Despite the realization, Xiang Shaoyun still felt no pressure whatsoever. In any case, with Hua Cheng having his back now, ordinary people wouldn't dare to do anything to him anyway.

By the time Xiang Shaoyun waved at Gong Qinyin, who was blanking out, and reminded her it was time to keep moving, the crowd finally recovered from their shock. A great commotion erupted among them.

”Xie Sanqian was defeated. That Xiang Shaoyun is really strong.”

”Looks like Guardian Qiu is faced with a th.o.r.n.y problem this time. I wonder if he will fight personally or avoid this opponent.”

”Don't worry. Xiang Shaoyun might be strong, but we have a lot of talents in the Lightning Alliance. If he dares enter Guardian Qiu's estate, he won't be able to leave safely.”

”Come on, let's go already. Xiang Shaoyun is increasing his speed.”

...

Xiang Shaoyun knew that he had already done enough to establish his dominance. There wouldn't be many random people coming to challenge him anymore. Since that was the case, there was no point in continuing to walk slowly and dragging it out.
