Vol 1 Chapter 4 (2/2)

Bian Qian squinted, watching Zhang Yan respond as he coldly spoke, “Junior Brother, you really don’t know about sincerity. Is this Bian someone you can joke with? I said the Three Great School disciples, did you hear me?”

Although the Three Great Schools were divided into three Temples, they usually had frequent contacts with each other. If someone from the Ethics Academic Temple brought Dao manuals over and wanted to ask Zhang Yan through the other two Temple’s disciples who had good relations.h.i.+ps with him, could he also block it? Wasn’t this still the same?

Zhang Yan cupped his hands across his chest, “If that’s the case, then excuse my inability to comply.”

How would he not know that there were some hidden intentions behind Bian Qiao words? He intentionally said those words as an approach to retreat first, in order to advance more. In other words, ‘as the matter stands, it is not that I’m not willing to promise you, it is just that you really are going too far’.

Bian Qiao originally thought that since Zhang Yan had no strong supporter to back him, he would step back and avoid having a falling out. Yet he would never have thought that Zhang Yan wouldn’t know what was good or bad, as Zhang Yan unexpectedly didn’t give him any face.

He changed his mind and thought: although Zhang Yan seemed to have some capitals, since he broke the ‘rules’ first, how could he be afraid of him when it came to some other disciples who also accounted for their own interest?

Since sweet talk didn’t work and you don’t want to listen it, then don’t blame me for ignoring your face. Do you think I’ve no other means to deal with you?

Before he came, he had prepared in advance, and since it was impossible to reconcile, he was ready to resort to it.

Bian Qiao suddenly laughed as he said twice: “You might as you say so, it may be so. Since Junior Brother is proficient in interpreting manuals, you may as well let us broaden our horizons, this Bian here has three manuals. Please, I ask brother to advise me!”

He waved his hand, and a young male servant immediately brought a Dao manual. Bian Qiao knocked on the written text with his finger joint as he let out a false smile, “I also know Brother Zhang’s rules, rice, grain, and silver taels must be paid first. Now, may I ask for one or two advices from Brother Zhang.”

Since business had come to visit, Zhang Yan naturally accepted, he walked for two steps as he reached out and took that Dao manual.

“Hold up.”

Bian Qiao pressed the manual with his hand as his eyes stared at Zhang Yan, “I sincerely ask for advice, if Brother Zhang interpretation is mistaken , what would happen?”

Zhang Yan replied indifferently, “Senior Brother may smash my banner sign, then I will no longer explain about the manual Eclipse code henceforth.”

Bian Qiao shook his head, “No, it wouldn’t do, not enough.”

Zhang Yan also laughed lightly, took back his hand and stood, “How then does Senior Brother think we should do this?”

Bian Qiao squinted as he said, “You discard your cultivation, and directly quit and descend from here. Then, you shall not enter into the Blue Ocean Sect’s territory even a half step.”

Because many people had gathered here, the surrounding disciples from the Three Great Schools have also gradually come around. They couldn’t help but shout, this would absolutely destroy Zhang Yan’s cultivation path thoroughly.

Zhang Yan actually brought up the idea accidentally, he never thought that Bian Qiao would flare up quickly and become a lot tougher.

He didn’t know that this was Bian Qiao’s true nature as a servant. He, because of small profits may fear people with higher status, and since he didn’t fully know Zhang Yan’s background, we wouldn’t act directly.

If Zhang Yan lost this time and no one backed him up, he would naturally use a cruel method to eliminate him. However, if someone came forward to ask for a favor and his background was big, he would give face as he could ask for a favor conveniently. In short, as long as Zhang Yan’s interpretation was wrong and made mistakes, when the time comes, it would be easy for him to stretch his hand and act as he willed.

“Senior Brother, this may not be appropriate, but…” Zhang Yan looked perfectly calm and composed as he continued to speak, “If so, the price should be equal, and not some trifling rice.”

Bian Qiao smiled as he tried to search for something within his sleeve. He removed a white porcelain vase and put it on the stone table. “Junior Brother seems to be in the Primordial Qi Condensation realm, so I’ll give you these Pills, a total of 23 pills, and each pill is worth a treasure. What do you think? Is it worth it?”

The Three Great Schools disciples in the surroundings suddenly became noisy as they looked at this bottle of pills with envy and greedy eyes. They also knew that they couldn’t obtain these precious pills. They could only curse Bian Qian in their heart. Bian Qiao was only a steward and not even a cultivator, but he had these precious pills. It was simply like throwing a pearl to a swine, as it only wasted precious and heavenly treasures.

Zhang Yan had profound knowledge with books, and many odd and precious items. He certainly knew the value of these pills. Not only could the pills improve and maintain one’s health and wash away the impurities from within the body, it could also be used to consolidate his Primordial Qi foundation. By invigorating his blood circulation, it would have a great effect on cultivators when meditating. Its value was simply priceless. This was the pill that an outer disciple may obtain.

He didn’t consider any longer as he immediately replied, “All right.”

Zhao Ying was among the crowd as she looked at Zhang Yan answer, and couldn’t help but sneer. This little thief was really ignorant. How come he couldn’t see that Bian Qiao had laid a trap and intentionally lured him into it?

Bian Qian turned around toward the surroundings as he cupped his hand over his chest and said, “Good, today there are many fellow disciples gathered here. Let us make a testimony and you will all be witnessing, so as to avoid the rumors that I, Bian Qian bullied someone.” This particular method was truly vicious, as he clearly blocked Zhang Yan’s way back with these words.

Zhang Yan coldly watching Bian Qiao’s petty action, but he actually didn’t care a bit as he then sat down on the stone stool in an uninhibited manner, picked up the manual and began to read it.

The surrounding disciples listened to Bian Qiao’s words as they stepped closer to have a look, and watch whether Zhang Yan had the ability or not. They wanted to see, what kind of capital this Zhang Yan had, which made him dare to have a falling out with Bian Qiao. Over many years, Bian Qiao had been a tyrant, as he often bullied and abused many disciples in the sect. However, n.o.body could do anything to him. Seeing that today someone unexpectedly dared to spit on Bian Qiao’s face; the Great Tranquility Temple and the Profound Virtue Temple’s disciples couldn’t help but to become excited. Many of them even wanted to befriend this brave disciple, but didn’t want to miss this particular scene.
