Chapter 82 - Buying Into Soul Chasing (2/2)
“Everyone who comes in here is a guest.”
“Guest your head!” Wasn’t he the Soul Chasing Tower’s Tower Master? Get back to your Soul Chasing Tower! Why are you here to freeload? Doesn’t rice cost spirit stones? Why did he have the right to take up his seat and eat his portion of the food?
“Hmph!” Feng Ying sneered, not paying regard to Lonemoon’s unhappiness. “You think that I am willing to stay in your lousy sect?”
“Heh heh…” Put down that bowl if you’re unwilling then!
“You guys have not given me an explanation for the matters of my Soul Chasing Tower?” Feng Ying immediately struck the table and spoke sternly, “Elder Lonemoon, I have painstakingly spent all my effort to build the Soul Chasing Tower and you guys just destroyed it like that. At this juncture now, you want to let this matter pass simply by saying that you came knocking on the wrong door because you were eager to save a life? Anyway I don’t care. Either you guys compensate me for my Soul Chasing Tower, or kill me now. Otherwise, I will not leave.”
You snatched my bowl yet you’re still trying to talk reason!
The blazing anger in Lonemoon’s eyes abruptly turned calm, somewhat eerily. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth moved up and he gave a smile that was like spring breeze to Feng Ying…
Shen Ying and Yi Qing both shivered. Uh-oh… Father Niu only smiled in such a frightening manner when he was about to trick people.
(⊙_⊙)
“Tower Master Ying, you’re right. This matter was indeed our mistake, so we should give you an explanation.” He smiled more amicably as he entered professional-mode.
“Hmph, at least you are sensible.”
“Rest assured, Tower Master, leave the rebuilding of the Soul Chasing Tower to the Invincible Sect,” Lonemoon said with a face of confidence. “My Invincible Sect is a publicly acknowledged hidden great immortal sect. Such an amount of spirit stones is still within our means. Furthermore, we’ll compensate your tower with some exquisite spirit stones. What do you think?”
“Really?” Feng Ying’s eyes lit up and he scrutinized him with tinge of suspicion in his gaze. “Are you lying to me? You won’t regret it?”
“Why would I? I, Niu… I, Lonemoon, am also considered an elder of a sect. I am a man of his word!” He smiled till his eyes became a line. He stepped forward and tapped on Feng Ying’s shoulders, and spoke earnestly, “To be honest, I have long heard of the renowned reputation of the Soul Chasing Tower. You managed to build a network larger than the aristocratic families within a hundred years. I really do admire you.”
“Indeed!” Talking about his profession, Feng Ying was full of pride. “You don’t know how much effort I have invested into this. I am not bragging, but the Soul Chasing Tower does not lose out to those top immortal sects.”
“Indeed, indeed.” Lonemoon nodded quickly in agreement. “But it’s such a pity. Although the Soul Chasing Tower has information about the Upper Azure World, it’s still a little lacking in the network with the Middle and Lower Azure World, leaving it imperfect. Tower Master, why not fix this part? And Soul Chasing Tower can surpass even the aristocratic families.”
Feng Ying furrowed his brows. “I also had this thought before, but those who are not of Soul Formation cultivation in the Three Realms cannot move around freely. I am in the Upper Azure World, so it is difficult for me to get first hand news of the other two realms…”
“I do have an idea on how to solve this problem.”
“Truly?” Stunned, Feng Ying took two steps forward. “Supremacy Lonemoon, are you speaking the truth?”
“Of course. You forgot that although you can’t roam freely in the Three Realms, you can do so in the Demon Realm. I have an absolutely foolproof method…” he said earnestly. “If you allow it, it can help to achieve your goals.”
“Of course I agree to such a good deal.” Feng Ying was excited but looked a little worried. “What do you want in exchange?”
“Everybody that comes in here is a guest. Talking about requests hurts feelings. Since you’re a straightforward person, why don’t we make use of this opportunity to use the spirit stones for rebuilding as a share investment my Invincible Sect is undertaking?”
“What are shares?”
“This question is a little complicated. How about you come with me to the study and discuss it?”
“Alright, let’s go.”
“Please, Tower Master.”
With that said, the two of them exited the hall excitedly…
Yi Qing was one of the confused audience. He asked, “Master, how many percent of the Soul Chasing Tower will he lose?”
Shen Ying: “I guess that depends on how angry Father Niu was?”
“…”
Trying to get money out of Father Niu’s pockets… Someone had to tell him that he should never mess with a godfather-like character. Rest in peace!
