"Oh, it's just so-so. What's so special about a Nascent Soul Peak? Even if it's a Profound Ascending Stage master, I can easily kill him! "Xiao Chen stretched and said casually.
"Young man, although it is said that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, this old man advises you to restrain yourself a little. Don't go around talking big. Otherwise, it will be bad if you get slapped in the face!" Elder Nan Gong sneered and mocked in a neutral tone.
"So what if I don't restrain myself? Are you going to bite me?" At this time, Xiao Chen had a rough idea in his heart. The corner of his mouth raised. He took two steps forward and sat on the chair next to Elder Nan Gong. He crossed his legs and said leisurely, "But I found out that your Profound Cloud Sect is quite well-informed! Don't tell me you want to take advantage of the situation and get a piece of the pie? "
"Presumptuous! Those treasures were originally stolen from our Profound Cloud Sect. It's natural for us to come and take them back! " Before Elder Nan Gong could speak, a Profound Cloud Sect disciple behind him stood up and pointed at Xiao Chen. He said angrily, "And you brat, you actually dare to be so boastful. How dare you disrespect our Elder Nan Gong. Are you itching for a beating?"
When Duan Suqing and Gong Shaoxi heard this, their faces changed. They looked at each other for a moment and felt a little strange.
Those heavenly treasures were obviously stolen from the Burning Sky Sect's garden by those bandits. Why did this Profound Cloud Sect suddenly stick their noses in? Your Profound Cloud Sect is hundreds of miles away. No matter how much trouble the bandits cause, they won't cause trouble there, right?
What's more, the Profound Cloud Sect has a long history and a deep foundation. There are many experts in the sect. Even if those little bandits eat bear's heart and leopard's gall, they wouldn't dare to come and steal your things! Wasn't this clearly robbing a burning house? What else could it be?
Duan Suqing and Gong Shaoxi both had a look of disbelief on their faces. They didn't expect that the Profound Cloud Sect, a famous sect in the cultivation world, could actually do such a despicable thing. They even had the cheek to act so righteously. Isn't this a little too shameless?
"No way, didn't your Profound Cloud Sect claim to be the second largest sect in the cultivation world? How could he be robbed by a few bandits? It seems like you're only so-so! "Xiao Chen was already mentally prepared, but he still pretended to be very surprised and sighed.
"Cut … cut the crap!" The disciple was a little lacking in confidence, but he still forced himself to reprimand: "People make mistakes, horses stumble. Even the Profound Cloud Sect has times of slacking. Isn't it normal for bandits to steal things?"
Hong Zhu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly let out a giggle. His smile was like a blooming spring flower, causing the disciple who was looking at him to be somewhat dumbfounded.
"The Profound Cloud Sect is so powerful. Logically speaking, they only need to casually send a few experts out to defeat those bandits, right?" Hong Zhu grinned as he looked at that person, but the words that came out of his mouth were neither cold nor warm as he ridiculed, "I didn't think that such a large sect would actually have my husband stand up for you in the end. Now, not only are you not thanking me, but you also want to ask for something. Isn't this a little too shameful?"
"Did you hear that?" Xiao Chen snapped his fingers and unhurriedly said: "This Great Immortal's Dao Companion is right. Since this Great Immortal was the one who stole it, it naturally belongs to me. I can give it to whoever I like. You guys are lacking in ability and had your things stolen by others, yet you still have the nerve to chase after me to ask for it back. If this matter were to spread, I reckon that your Profound Cloud Sect would not be able to survive in the cultivation world in the future!"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Chen gave Hong Zhu a look of praise and secretly gave her a thumbs up. Although this little girl usually didn't know what to do, her mind was still very sharp in critical moments. It just so happened that he was able to go along with her words.
Hong Zhu naturally wouldn't let go of any opportunity to tease Xiao Chen. She immediately threw him a flirtatious look with an expression that said, "It's a great fortune that you can find me."
"This … I … We couldn't find the bandit's lair. Otherwise, they would have been killed long ago. How could it be your turn to act?" When the disciple saw Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu blatantly flirting with each other, he felt a burst of jealousy in his heart and stuttered: "They just had a bit of dog shit luck and found the entrance somewhere. How dare they be so arrogant? This is simply outrageous!"
"Oh, what's the point of saying all this? In the end, isn't it because you don't have the ability? Alright, don't talk nonsense! " Xiao Chen waved his hand disinterestedly, then turned to look at Duan Suqing and said indifferently: "Sect Leader Duan, I suggest that you send our guests away! We still have a lot of things in our courtyard to count! There's no need to waste words with them here. Let's hurry up and get down to business! "
"Exalted Immortal Xiao, don't you think this matter …" Duan Suqing also had a difficult expression on his face at this moment. He stammered and didn't know what to say to smooth things over.
On one side was the great benefactor of the Burning Sky Sect, Gong Shaoxi's master and Gong Ruitong's master. On the other side was the famous Profound Cloud Sect in the cultivation world. Although the reason they came to ask for heavenly treasures was somewhat far-fetched, he couldn't afford to offend a small Burning Sky Sect!
"I say, Great Sect Leader Duan, has your Burning Sky Sect changed its surname to Xiao?" Without waiting for Duan Suqing to finish speaking, Elder Nangong interrupted in a strange tone: "If this old man remembers correctly, besides you, the Sect Leader, the Burning Sky Sect should also have a Grand Elder, right?"
Duan Suqing wiped his sweat and explained with difficulty: "Elder Nangong, our Burning Sky Sect does indeed have a Grand Elder, but he is currently injured and can't …"
"Even if he is injured, he is still the backbone of the Burning Sky Sect. Since when is it your turn to be in charge?" Elder Nangong sneered, glanced at Xiao Chen, and said mockingly: "Not to mention this so-called 'Exalted Immortal' who came out of nowhere!"
Gong Shaoxi suddenly took a step forward with some dissatisfaction and said loudly: "Grand Elder Gong Ruitong is my father. He and I have already formally acknowledged Exalted Immortal Xiao as our master, so Exalted Immortal Xiao has full authority to make decisions for our Burning Sky Sect!"
Elder Nangong was finally stunned and didn't immediately fight back, because he really didn't have this information. A father and son acknowledged the same master? How should they address each other normally?
"No matter who is in charge, it is an internal matter of the Burning Sky Sect. It has nothing to do with you." Xiao Chen snorted and looked at Elder Nangong from the corner of his eyes. He said, "Anyway, those natural treasures were all snatched by our Burning Sky Faction. If Elder Nangong wants them back, it's not impossible. However, you have to pay two hundred thousand Spirit Crystals in advance as compensation for my labor and hard work!"
