”Atrocious!”
A few of the bad-tempered elders finally could not take it anymore so they stood up and began angrily shouting.
Xu Que briefly looked at the few of them, nodded and said, ”If you all show me such attitude, I will not discuss with you all further as well. You all can talk to my master.”
The few elders stuttered and heavily panted for a bit. As if being choked, they could not continue to say anything!
The discussion hall’s atmosphere became still once again.
None of them wanted to offend Xu Que but none of them were willing to put down their ego and settle this peacefully.
In actuality, Xu Que did not want to stir up any trouble as well. He was very clear on exactly how to settle this type of issue.
With this extremely tough ”Master” as a backing, he definitely cannot appear to be too easy going. On top of that, the rumours say that Duan Jiu De had an eccentric nature and therefore he had to be a little more arrogant.
If he apologized to them easily, it will have an opposite effect of making them suspicious. If, in the worst case scenario, his true identity was revealed, the various Factions will definitely come back with a greater vengeance.
He was not afraid of anything as he had the system at his hands. However, the Pan Shan villagers would be in great danger!
Therefore, he had to put on this act ‘till the end!
Xu Que clenched his fists as he thought to himself, ”There are going to be many more opportunities to act tough. I’m in!”
...
”Since you won’t apologize, what do you think will solve this issue?” The Sect Leader Zhang asked amongst the quiet atmosphere.
The weird part was that, the Leader’s tone was not as cold as previously. Instead, he sounded a little more accommodating.
Xu Que let out a smile in his heart. He was successful with the act he was putting up and reckoned that even this Celestial Sect Leader was starting to believe his identity.
But, didn’t the Sect Leader himself meet Duan Jiu De a few times before?
That’s good. I can still play this card for a little while more!
Xu Que realized that and he pretentiously mumbled to himself, contemplated for a moment before replying, ”How about this. Since the misunderstandings stemmed from my side and everyone here is considered my senior, why not let me use this place and treat everybody to a feast. This way, we can all become friends. What does Sect Leader Zhang think about this?”
After that, Xu Que sincerely looked at Zhang Dan Shan and gave him a brief smile.
It was as if he was hinting Zhang Dan Shan that he was here to become friends and he shouldn’t resist this goodwill!
Zhang Dan Shan slightly squinted his eyes and nodded, ”I, the Celestial Sect Leader, do not have any objections. I shall lend you our training grounds outside and let you arrange for the feast tonight.”
Upon this situation, the members of other Factions seconded, ”Brother Xu, you are too kind. We, the Fierce Flame Faction do not have any objections. Let’s drink ‘till we drop.”
”We, Pale Mountain Faction have no objections as well.”
…
”We Sunset Faction… have no objections!”
At last, the Sunset Faction members agreed as well as they swallowed their anger.
They had no choice. Even the big Celestial Sect has let the matter go. What rights do a small faction have?
On top of that, the situation started with them being greedy, bearing a malicious intent to kill Xu Que for his treasures. In the end, the tables turned and many disciples and Elders from their side were killed. The only thing they could do now was to act like they were mutes.
