Lian Chongyi's so-called apology gift was some jade-green liquid in a container.
The viscous liquid resembled jade as it reflected Yan Zhaoge's face.
Seeing it, Yan Zhaoge immediately recognised that the Jade Spring was currently condensed.
Within the territory controlled by the Lian Family Fortress, there was a famous Jade Sand Spring. The spring water it produced was very beneficial to martial artists.
Broad Creed Mountain had specially stationed a Jade Spring Acting Elder there, receiving a certain amount of spring water every year.
However, compared to the Jade Sand Spring Water, the Jade Spring Essence produced at the mouth of the spring was much rarer and more valuable.
It was just that the Jade Spring Condensed Essence was extremely rare. Whether it was the Lian Family Fortress or Broad Creed Mountain, they could only obtain a bit of it every year. Other than the two of them, only the Howling Wind Sword Sect had a share of it. The other powers didn't even need to think about it.
And while the Jade Spring Condensed Essence that Lian Chongyi intended to hand over to Yan Zhaoge now seemed like only a single cup, it was actually equivalent to an entire year's worth of the spring's production!
In other words, every year, the amount of Jade Spring Condensed Essence that the entire Broad Creed Mountain clan obtained from the Jade Sand Spring was not as much as the one before Yan Zhaoge now.
Naturally, it wasn't that the Lian Family Fort had concealed their output, but rather that they had painstakingly saved up their savings over the years.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this bit of Jade Spring Concentrated Essence was priceless.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Lian Chongyi smiled, "This time's matter happened too suddenly, and I really came in a rush. Therefore, I can only give you this meager gift. Young Master Yan is used to seeing all sorts of rare treasures, so please do not laugh at me. When I return this time, this Lian will make proper preparations and send it over to Young Master Yan very quickly."
Although the Jade Spring Essence was precious, it was still enough to show the sincerity of the Lian Family Fort's apology. However, the latter sentence undoubtedly revealed Lian Chongyi's true intentions.
While he was here to apologise, he also hoped to use this to form a relationship with Yan Zhaoge.
Perhaps Yan Zhaoge wouldn't remain in the Sand Region for too long, but if news of the Lian Family Fortress being on good terms with the Broad Creed Young Master were to spread, it would already be of great benefit to the Lian Family.
Besides that. Yan Zhaoge also heard something else.
"Young Master, in the Lian Family, only the Jade Spring Essence and Jade Sand Spring Water are good things. What can he prepare? "By the side, Ah Hu secretly sent a sound transmission to Yan Zhaoge through his aura-qi," Can he make even more Jade Spring Condensed Essence? Why don't we just bring them over at once? "
Yan Zhaoge answered leisurely, "The Lian Family doesn't have anything else good, but some people do ah. Do you still remember the information I asked you to gather before coming to the Sand Region?"
Ah Hu was startled. "Howling Wind Sword Sect's Elder Hong?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Correct."
Currently, the Howling Wind Sword Sect was nearing the time of succession. The old Sect Master was getting on in years and had already decided to pass on his position to the next generation.
Of the Howling Wind Sword Sect's second generation experts, the most outstanding one was actually Yan Di's old friend, Elder Jun.
His cultivation base was the highest while also having a close relationship with Yan Di.
However, Elder Jun had no intention of taking over the position of Sect Leader. He had already made it clear that he would not take over the position, so the competition was between the other two Elders.
Elder Hong and Elder Bai were equally matched. This made it hard for the old sect master of the Howling Wind Sword Sect to make a choice.
The two fought for their respective supporters, the most important of which was undoubtedly Broad Creed Mountain.
As Yan Zhaoge knew, on this matter, whether it was the First Seat Elder of the Sand Region or the Principal Elder of the Howling Wind Sword Sect, they both maintained a neutral stance.
Because it was not as complicated as the situation in the Eastern Tang previously, whether it was Elder Hong or Elder Bai, they were both supporters of Broad Creed Mountain.
Whether it was in terms of cultivation or ability to handle matters, it was hard to determine who was superior. Therefore, Broad Creed Mountain also maintained a neutral stance.
To Broad Creed Mountain. It was not important who took over the Howling Wind Sword Sect. As long as the successor was loyal to Broad Creed Mountain, ensuring that no one else's crops grew on their own land, it would be fine.
As long as their crops did not grow crooked, Broad Creed Mountain would not easily interfere in the internal affairs of its subordinate powers.
Also, Elder Hong and Elder Bai also did not dare to cause too much of a ruckus. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to forcing Elder Jun to come out and clean up the mess.
Under such circumstances, Yan Zhaoge who had suddenly come to the Sand Region, to the territory of the Howling Wind Sword Sect, instantly caused the eyes of both sides to light up.
Before this, Yan Zhaoge had not stayed for long, very quickly heading straight for the Great Western Desert, not letting Elder Hong and Elder Bai have a chance to properly interact with him.
Afterwards, there had been an assassination attempt. The situation in the entire Sand Region grew tense, and the internal conflict of the Howling Wind Sword Sect also temporarily calmed down.
The Lian Family Fortress was a second-rate power under the rule of the Howling Wind Sword Sect, being close to Elder Hong. In coming over this time, other than apologizing to them and trying to resolve the possible anger of Yan Zhaoge and the other Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners, they actually also had the intention of paving the way for Elder Hong.
Because of his father, of the entire Howling Wind Sword Sect, Yan Zhaoge was naturally the most familiar with Elder Jun.
However, with Elder Jun not interfering in the competition for the position of Clan Chief, Yan Zhaoge also did not care about the struggle between Elder Hong and Elder Bai.
On this matter, Yan Zhaoge and the First Seat Elder of the Sand Region shared the same attitude.
Elder Hong and Lian Chongyi were now trying to make use of this chance to get in touch with Yan Zhaoge. If Yan Zhaoge's attitude changed, that might change the entire situation!
First not mentioning Yan Di who stood behind Yan Zhaoge, even Yan Zhaoge himself, the weight of his words now was also incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Let alone the Principal Elder of the Howling Wind Sword Sect, even the First Seat Elder of the Sand Region might give face to Yan Zhaoge on this matter which originally had no result.
Not just on Yan Zhaoge's side, with Lian Ying having nearly caused Jun Luo's death this time, Lian Chongyi would also take the initiative to come and apologise to Elder Jun, trying to turn the situation from unfavourable to favourable.
Not participating in the competition himself, Elder Jun was usually impartial. This time, whether it was Elder Hong and Lian Chongyi succeeding in their assault, or if he vented his anger on Elder Hong due to his daughter having met with danger, both might change the balance of the situation. Lian Chongyi had no choice but to pay attention to this.
"That is to say …" Ah Hu blinked, "He is currently trying to curry favor with and bribe Young Master?"
Yan Zhaoge pulled back the corners of his lips, "Oh … you could say that."
Ah Hu asked, "Then why doesn't he just bribe the First Seat Elder of the Sand Region and the Principal Elder of the Howling Wind Sword Sect? After all, they are the ones who are permanently stationed here, while Young Master, you are just passing by and temporarily staying here. "
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "Because Elder Bai would also do the same, not standing there by the side watching his competitors struggle, not having any reaction at all. The two sides directly traded their pieces."
"With my sudden arrival, it wouldn't be good for both sides to directly come knocking on my door. That would really be too unsightly. Therefore, they are both looking for a chance, wanting to seize the initiative."
"Elder Hong and the Lian Family, aren't they using this as an excuse to come knocking on my door?"
Yan Zhaoge sent a sound transmission to Ah Hu, "I estimate that Elder Bai's side has already received the news, and his scouts are probably already on their way, arriving shortly after Lian Chongyi's side."
Ah Hu gave a simple and honest laugh, "Young Master, this is a chance to strike it rich ah."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. As his position had gradually grown, this was the first area where it was directly manifested.
Vexed ah, this brother is a righteous person; isn't this specifically luring me into making a mistake? (To be continued.)
