194 Uninvited Guests (2/2)
”Come in,” Xue Wei called out. He placed his chopsticks on his plate and rose to his feet.
He gestured for the others to stay seated. Then he looked at the door as the Cerulean Starlight Sect's head disciple opened it and stepped in.
The man was a bit surprised at how much influence Xue Wei had in the Golden Chambers.
But if things were as Lin Yuelong had said, then it all made sense. The head disciple glanced at Wang Xiaoyun curiously and saw that her face had indeed changed.
”I heard you wished to see me?” The head disciple was still skeptical. He wanted Lin Yuelong to be right, but he could not help but doubt it.
”You helped me out earlier today,” Xue Wei said while nodding, ”so as a token of my gratitude, I'll give you a paralyzing formation.”
Xue Wei had considered what formation to give out and decided in the end to give them a rather powerful formation to nurture a good relationship.
He flipped his hand and a piece of paper appeared within. He then handed it over to the head disciple.
”My name is Lin Huang. I am Lin Yuelong's older cousin. I would like to thank you for the formation on behalf of my sect.” The head disciple finally introduced himself.
”I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me?” he asked. He was more humble now and looked at Xue Wei as an equal.
”Sure, please do ask,” Xue Wei had expected this so he smiled and waited to see what Lin Huang wanted to know.
”Do the formations that the Golden Chambers is auctioning off come from you? How many formations are up for sale? Which kind of formations are they? Have you made them yourself? Which kind of formations can you make? Have you ever considered joining a sect?”
Hearing the many questions that were asked in one go, Xue Wei started laughing before he began answering one at a time.
”The formations did indeed come from me,” he admitted with a nod of his head. ”Since they came from me, obviously, I was also the one who was capable of making them. I can make a wide array of formations, but I need to keep in mind my current strength of Spiritual Energy. I am not thinking of joining a sect right now, I cannot let go of the freedom I have right now.”
The more they spoke, the more Lin Huang's eyes started to glisten. He felt that he could gain a great strength for the Cerulean Starlight Sect.
Lin Huang was not dumb. He had heard about Xue Wei's issue with the two other sects and knew that he was using his ability as a formation master to get close to the Cerulean Starlight Sect, but he did not care. A formation master was of great importance to any sect. Even in the center of the continent.
They talked for a bit of time before Lin Huang headed back to the rest of the Cerulean Starlight Sect. He had to contact the sect elders to inform them about this 'Ye Xiao'.
As he left, new plates of food were placed on their tables by the waitress outside. Xue Wei sat down and began eating again.
The other three could feel that he was in a good mood. He had accomplished something he wanted.
”Are you going to tell the Crimson Sunshine Sect and the Argent Moon Sect about your formation master status?” Hei Gou asked curiously.
”They'll know eventually,” Xue Wei said, shrugging his shoulders. He did not care about them much.
Right as he was speaking, the door suddenly opened and the head disciple of the Argent Moon Sect stood in their room with a perplexed expression on her face.
”Ye Xiao?” she asked with confusion. ”Why would you have a conversation with Lin Huang? The two of you are from completely different worlds!”
”Miss, please don't be rude,” the one who spoke up was Bai Tianyi. The way he spoke was casual and in a slightly drawling manner. His eyes were half closed and he had his head propped up by his hands with his elbows on the table. He looked like a spoiled child that got everything he wanted.
”Right, who gave you permission to enter our dining room?” Wang Xiaoyun agreed.
The head disciple from the Argent Moon Sect's face grew unsightly before she stared at Wang Xiaoyun's face with her mouth agape.
”You were disfigured when I saw you before,” the head disciple stated. Wang Xiaoyun casually shrugged her shoulders.
”I demand answers!” she exclaimed angrily, looking at Xue Wei as if her eyes were shooting fire.
”Listen, you and I had no bad blood, but you had to be so condescending towards both me and my friends,” Xue Wei finally spoke.
”You barge into my room and you demand answers. Have you considered your actions? Do you know how bad a light you put the Argent Moon Sect in?” he continued ruthlessly.
”We are esteemed guests of the Golden Chambers. It is not your place to act so out of control. Be a good girl and act like one.”
The head disciple fumed when she heard that, but she did not follow her impulse to start a fight.
She remembered that he had been granted the King's Floor, and now they were in the largest dining room enjoying all the delicacies and wines. Even Manager Hu treated them well. So he was not completely wrong with what he said.
Unfortunately, she had barged into the room in a domineering fashion. She was backed by ten other experts of the Argent Moon Sect, and she knew that she would lose face if she stepped down.
As a result, she stood indecisively for some time, but then she snorted and looked at Xue Wei with venomous eyes. She truly hated him without really knowing him.
She was slightly jealous of Xue Wei. He had been treated with great favor by the Golden Chambers. He had been treated with friendliness by Lin Huang, who was of equal standing as herself, and he had friends that spoke up for him. In a way, he made her feel threatened.
He was a simple independent cultivator. Why would he be treated so specially? She did not like it.
But even after giving it a lot of thought, she could not figure it out. It would never cross her mind that he was a formation master. Her pride would not allow it.
In the end, she shook her head and left the room. She had achieved her goal.
She had seen Lin Huang step out from the room with a hard to hide the smile on his face. She had tried striking up a conversation with him, but he had completely ignored it and left right away.
His act made the head disciple of the Argent Moon Sect curious. She had to know what had happened. Never had she expected that it was the infamous 'Ye Xiao' and his group inside.
