770 Quota (2/2)
Could it be that this boy still had uncommon attainments along the Martial Path?
But Pei Wenqiang did not believe this, and he said, ”Boy, I know that you have some means and your capabilities aren't small either. That's why I took the risk of offending a major aristocratic family and gave a quota to you. It's also considered your repayment for the ancient grotto. But in the end, you're just an alchemist. To talk about overwhelming the junior generation in martial arts, I won't believe even if you beat me to death either!”
If Ye Yuan was Boundless Realm right now, Pei Wenqiang might really believe it. After all, Ye Yuan's means, he had experienced before.
Disregarding other things, just his attainments in the divine soul was plenty more than ordinary martial artists could bear.
But Ye Yuan was just Divine Traversing Realm now, while quite a few major aristocratic families and major sects' disciples were all middle-stage Boundless Realm, even late-stage experts.
Among them, there was no lack of some genius martial artists with very formidable strength. To say that Ye Yuan had the strength to crush everybody, how could he possibly believe it?
Ye Yuan gave Pei Wenqiang a glance and said with a smile, ”This favor, I accept it. City Lord Pei, after this time, the old scores between us are written off. Nobody owes the other. How's that?”
Ye Yuan discovered that even though this Pei Wenqiang had somewhat of bad habits of a silkpants, having a manner as if he was number one under the heaven, when really got to know him, he was not that detestable either.
At least his promise in the ancient grotto, he really achieved it now.
Ye Yuan knew that such quotas only had three. Each major aristocratic family would definitely snatch viciously over it. But Pei Wenqiang left one for him. This definitely had to offend people.
But in order to repay him, he did it without any qualms.
Though Pei Wenqiang had a powerful backer behind, governing such a large city, he could not really be as reckless as he wished for everything.
On the contrary, Pei Wenqiang was actually very clever and was very skillful in governing a city too. Otherwise, the moment Ying Tianya entered Clear Reed City back then, he would not possibly have known right away.
Pei Wenqiang nodded his head and said, ”Alright, deal! But this quota, I helped you to get hold of it, but the things at the back, you can only do it yourself. Although you boasted to the high heavens, I still don't really believe it. You have to do your best. Even if you lose, don't lose too miserably too. Otherwise, my face will have no light!”
Pei Wenqiang was managing two cities right now, which was also to say that he actually had six quotas on his hands.
But Clear Reed City and Ancient Opulence City' strength belonged to the lower-class standards among the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's subordinate forces.
Even if the two cities' major aristocratic families snatched until their scalps bled to obtain the quotas, they probably could not walk very far in the end as well.
This point, Pei Wenqiang was perfectly aware.
Him saying this was only putting feathers on his own cap.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, ”City Lord Pei rest assured, at that time, your face will radiate brilliant light in all directions!”
The few people were just chatting fervently when all of a sudden, there was a disturbance outside the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion's front door.
”Ye Yuan, you scram outside for this young master! Your cowardly turtle, scared is it? If you have the guts, come out and fight one-on-one! Watch this young master beat you until you piss your pants! I want to let City Lord to have a look at just who is fit to go participate in the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition!” outside the door, a young man roared furiously.
Pei Wenqiang's brows furrowed and he said unhappy, ”Punk who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth! To actually dare refuse to accept this City Lord's decision! As it happens, this City Lord just assumed office. I'll make an example out of this Gu Family punk!”lose faceGain a lot of face
