110 Blackmail. Luminary Paste (1/2)

No matter how much of a popinjay these four great young masters were, they knew fully well that they could not win against the strong enemy. Just as they were worrying over this, they quickly retreated upon hearing Yun Yang’s voice, as if receiving the holy decree.

Mi Kongqun’s icy gaze landed on Yun Yang again, feeling inexplicably exasperated.

It’s this fellow again!

This man had suggested a brawl to solve the problem when they were dominating the situation with their larger number of people; now that he saw so many of them could still not put him down, he sprung out to be the peacemaker.

Minister Mi could not help but feel that this child's shamelessness was comparable to Qiu Jianhan’s despite his young age.

What a f*cking talent!

However, Mi Kongqun wanted to put an end to this event too.

Things would really get out of hand if it went on. Seeing that the opposite party had stopped, he followed suit and pulled himself out.

”All of us here are people with status after all!” Yun Yang moved to the center of the circle they made and said earnestly, ”How can we brawl and kill each other so barbarically?”

Mi Kongqun and the four young masters rolled their eyes together.

You were the one to say everyone was from the martial arts world and to solve everything with a fight. Your words were still resounding but you turned everyone into a person of status once you saw that the situation was going awry.

This guy could really say anything he wished.

”We can just explain ourselves face to face if there’s any problem or misunderstanding. Why must we use violence?”

Yun Yang continued his mediation efforts, ”Young Master Qiu, it’s better to make friends than foes. We’ve fought for so long, any anger should already subside. Why let’s talk about it in peace!”

Qiu Yunsan thought to himself, ”My anger is still here, it’s just that I can’t win against them.”

Mi Kongqun thought, ”My anger is still here too but there really isn’t any benefit for the fight to go on…”

”Keeper Mi…” Yun Yang looked at Mi Kongqun. ”I’ve heard about the cause and effect of this incident too. You’ve just made a wrong move with harmless intention… and caused Young Master Qiu to be in trouble. A more severe trouble, am I not right?”

Then he turned to Qiu Yunsan. ”While Young Master Qiu, you are young and reckless. You have too much pride, isn’t it? It’s definite that we have to find our honor once it’s lost, don't you agree?”

Both sides nodded their heads.

”Therefore, I shall provide a solution for both sides’ consideration.” Yun Yang continued, ”Young Master Qiu, first, you need to send everyone you’ve ‘invited’ back. I believe you don’t have the intention to seize or kidnap them, you were just joking with Minister Mi... Give a hundred silver taels to each person as compensation for frightening them. This shouldn’t be much for you, should it?”

”And for these three eunuchs, you must not skimp on them; a thousand silver taels each for their medical fee!”

Yun Yang said, ”If so, Young Master Qiu’s side is done!”

He turned to look at Mi Kongqun. ”As for Minister Mi, how you handled things left much to be desired. Since Young Master Qiu has agreed to let things go, Minister Mi should show your sincerity by compensating with some imperial household’s Luminary Paste.”

”Imperial household’s Luminary Paste!” Mi Kongqun’s pitch took a sharp turn, his eyes stared wide at Yun Yang. ”Are you being a peacemaker here? This is obviously daylight robbery, you’re demanding too much!”

Qiu Yunsan’s eyes glinted as he said, ”Boss is right. As long as Minister Mi could offer five Luminary Pastes, we shall forget everything that’s happened here today!”

”Think of it as never happening!”

Dong Tianleng and the other three young masters’ eyes shone as well. ”Brother Qiu is right. We are friends with Keeper Mi anyway, why are we hurting each other’s feelings? As long as there are five portions of Luminary Pastes, let’s forget our grudges and make peace!”

Mi Kongqun laughed with an increasing sense of rage. ”What is the good of counting chickens before the eggs hatch! This is impossible!”

Imperial household’s Luminary Paste was Yutang royalty’s rare secret medicine. Its effects were powerful and significant.

It was said that the founder emperor of Empire of Yutang had acquired the corpse of a legendary mystical beast, Yin Yang Ophidian, by chance. It was also because he had eaten the flesh of the Yin Yang Ophidian that he had obtained mystical skills that were peerless.

His conquests were the stuff of legends as he expanded his territories, gradually building his dominance towards the Empire of Yutang.

The current Empire of Yutang was an empire built from scratch with the founder’s bare hands.

This showed how powerful the Yin Yang Ophidian was.

However, its strongest aspect was not its flesh but its internal core.

This internal core was the sole recognized top mystical beast, Yin Yang Ophidian’s internal core, in the entire Tianxuan Continent. Not one cultivator could ingest it to strengthen their cultivation base; even when it was a highly skilled expert of a grandmaster’s level, only the bursting of one’s body entailed once the core was ingested!
