"Presumptuous!"
Finally, there were a few hot-tempered elders who couldn't take it any longer and stood up to berate him.
Xu Que swept a glance at them and shook his head, "If you guys are going to have such an attitude, then I have no way of talking to you. Let my master do it."
The few elders were stunned as they took a few deep breaths but couldn't utter a single word.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was once again in a deadlock.
Nobody was willing to offend Xu Que but nobody was willing to put down their pride and take the initiative to ask for peace.
In actual fact, Xu Que didn't want to stir up trouble. Having lived two lives, he knew very well how he should handle such a situation.
Since he had such a powerful 'master' backing him up, he couldn't be too easygoing. Furthermore, the rumors said that Duan Jiude was an eccentric person. Hence, he had to be even more arrogant.
If he were to easily apologize to this group of people, it would raise suspicions. If his identity were to be exposed in the end, it would definitely attract more vengeance from the other sects.
With the system in his hands, he wasn't afraid of anything. However, the villagers of Pan Shan Village would be in danger because of this.
Hence, he had to put on a show till the end!
Xu Que clenched his fists tightly as he thought to himself, I must act tough!
...
"Since you aren't willing to apologize, then how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
After a moment of silence, Sect Leader Zhang finally opened his mouth and asked.
Surprisingly, this Sect Leader's tone wasn't as cold as before. Instead, it was more easygoing.
Xu Que laughed to himself. It seemed like his acting skills were up to standard. Even this Celestial Sect Leader was beginning to believe in his identity.
However, he had heard that this Sect Leader had met Duan Jiude a few times before?
That's good, I can still make use of him!
Xu Que's heart skipped a beat as he pretended to be deep in thought. He then said, "How about this. Since I was the one who caused this misunderstanding and all of you are my seniors, I shall borrow Celestial Sect's precious land for a while. I shall host a banquet and invite all of you to have a good meal. This way, we can all be friends. What does Zhang Zong think? "
After he finished speaking, Xu Que looked at Zhang Dan Shan, gave him a meaningful look, and smiled faintly.
It was as if he was hinting to Zhang Dan Shan that they were friends, so he couldn't cheat him!
Zhang Dan Shan squinted his eyes and nodded, "Celestial Sect has no objections. Tonight, we can lend you the Outer Sect's training grounds for a banquet."
Seeing this, the people from the other sects immediately seconded, "Young Friend Xu, you're too polite. Our Blazing Flame Sect has no objections. Let's not go home until we're drunk tonight."
"Our Cangshan School has no objections either."
…
"My Luoyang Sect … has no objections either!"
In the end, the Luoyang Sect's Sect Leader swallowed his anger.
They had no choice. Even the Celestial Sect wasn't calculative about it. They were just a small Sect, so why would they be calculative about it?
Moreover, this matter was originally because they were greedy and harbored malicious intentions. They wanted to kill Xu Que for the treasure, but in the end, so many disciples and elders were killed instead. Now, they could only pretend that they had suffered in silence.
Hence, an enmity that could only exist between them was instantly resolved by a banquet.
But in the end, it was the name "Duan Jiu De" that played the biggest role.
As night fell, the Celestial Sect really did hold a banquet.
Xu Que had transformed into a popular figure that all the Sects fought to please. Wherever he went, people toasted him.
He was inexplicably crowned with the title of "Duan Jiude's disciple". Naturally, he couldn't let go of this opportunity to act tough. Using the opportunity to drink, he started bragging to the Sect Leaders and Elders.
"Thinking back, I remember that once, my master brought me down the mountain to train. We went to visit a Sect. That Sect was very polite. The moment we met, they gave me a bunch of treasures, saying that it was a greeting gift for me. It left a deep impression on me. Later on, that Sect was being hunted down by their enemies. Since I'm a righteous and loyal person, I didn't say anything and dragged my master along to help. In the end, we wiped out all the enemies of that Sect. "
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Then, they reacted.
This … Are you hinting at us to give them gifts?
One of the Elders from the Fiery Flame Sect reacted quickly. He raised his wine cup and said, "With our young friend and Senior Duan's heroic looks, you'll definitely be a famous figure wherever you go. I'll give you a toast first. Also, here are a few magical weapons. Treat them as greeting gifts from me. I hope our young friend Xu doesn't mind. "
"Young friend Xu, on behalf of the Cangshan Sect, I'll give you a toast too. Also, here are a few stalks of 800 years old spiritual herbs. Please accept them."
"Cheh, just a few stalks of spiritual herbs? Young friend Xu, my Fire Cloud Sect will give you a bottle of Nine Revolutions Blood Bathing Pill. This pill is used to temper the body and bathe in blood. It's a necessary medicine for one to become a sage. "An Elder stood up and said generously.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
This Fire Cloud Sect was too ruthless. In order to please Duan Jiude, they were so generous. They gave him a bottle of Nine Revolutions Blood Bathing Pill. It was said that their entire Sect only had three bottles.
"Aiya, how can I accept this?" Xu Que revealed a 'shy' smile and pretended to reject it.
"Young friend Xu, you're treating me like an outsider! If you really treat me as a friend, please accept it. "
The Fire Cloud Sect Elder said and immediately stuffed the bottle of pills into Xu Que's hands. He even put on an expression that said 'if you don't accept it, you're not giving me face'.
Xu Que could only accept the pills' reluctantly '.
Of course, he also accepted the gifts from other Sects. After a meal, he filled up his system storage space and gained quite a number of act tough points.
…
At the same time, in one of the lofts of the Celestial Sect.
A disciple was kneeling on the ground, explaining something to a white-haired old lady.
When the old lady finished listening, her eyes widened and she screamed in disbelief, "What did you say? Not only did the Sect Leader not make that little bastard apologize, he even lent the Outer Sect's training grounds to him for a banquet? "
This person was Tang Xue Rou's master, Elder Sun. Perhaps she was too angry, her voice was trembling and the teacup in her hand was smashed onto the ground with a "Pa" sound.
"Elder … Elder Sun, that's exactly what happened!" The Celestial Sect disciple was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled.
The old lady's face turned gloomy and her eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.
"This person is treacherous and vicious. He even took liberties with my disciple. I cannot let him off so easily."
The old lady's gaze swept across the kneeling disciple and said coldly, "Take my token and go to the Inner Sect's Treasure Pavilion to retrieve the Spell Breaking Shuttle. Remember, I don't want anyone else to know about this, including the Sect Leader. Do you understand?"
"Yes … Yes … I understand."
The disciple received the old lady's token and ran towards the Treasure Pavilion in a panic.
