Let Me Teach You a Lesson
"Master, this really is quite a bit."
Although he resented Li Wanlong, when he heard that he was willing to part with so many resources to settle the matter, Wu Di couldn't help but feel his heart race.
A full million spirit coins!
If he had to save up this much, it'd take him hundreds or even thousands of years.
"Is that so? Alright, since my precious disciple is satisfied, then let's settle for this. You're really stingy as an uncle. Fortunately, my disciple is sensible …. "
Ye Zichen pursed his lips in apparent reluctance. Li Wanlong gnashed his teeth in anger.
Stingy?
If it weren't for the fact that he controlled the Wu Family's resources in Black Ox Town, forget about a million spirit coins in a year, he'd struggle to save up even ten years. Most ordinary earth immortals only had a few million spirit coins in total.
Even a million was stingy!
Who did he think he was?
A sky immortal? An immortal king?
If he really was that kind of lofty existence, why would he run all the way to the mortal district?
"Since you're satisfied, and my dear nephew Wu Di is satisfied, how about we just let this go?"
Ye Zichen suppressed his fury and nodded. Then he raised his hand and said, "Don't worry.
"Wait a moment …."
"Your Excellency, what are your orders?"
"My disciple already has an earth-grade precious artifact. Could you exchange it for battle armor or a supplementary spiritual treasure?"
"Do you think battle armor and weapons are the same price?"
Li Wanlong really wanted to shout. Battle armor was far more expensive than weapons of the same grade. Although he cursed inwardly, he still nodded amiably.
"No problem."
With that, Li Wanlong grabbed Li Kai's hand and prepared to leave, but at that moment ….
"Wait a moment …."
Li Wanlong had his back to Ye Zichen. He gnashed his teeth, but when he turned around, his expression was as friendly as ever.
"Do you have any other orders, Your Excellency?"
"Since this is an uncle's way of showing concern for his nephew, you have to pay for it out of your own pocket. No matter what, don't take up the family's resources, lest others gossip."
If Ye Zichen hadn't said that, Li Wanlong really would've given Wu Di the family's resources. Even if the clan investigated, he could accuse Wu Di of abusing his power to bully and steal from him.
But now that the other party had pointed it out, and the granddaughter of the First Foreign Chamberlain, Zheng Yunan, was also here, it was really not good for him to use the family's resources.
Li Wanlong's face was ashen as he thought about how he would have to fork out his own money.
"No problem. Uncle cares about his nephew, so how could he touch the family's resources? As a deacon sent by the family, I can't test the law. "
"That would be best."
Only then did Ye Zichen reveal a satisfied expression. He watched as Li Wanlong cupped his hands and left …..
"Wait …"
To tell the truth, Li Wanlong was on the verge of collapsing upon hearing this. So long as Ye Zichen said those two words, there was absolutely nothing good waiting for him. However, he wasn't confident in Ye Zichen's strength, so he had no choice but to patiently turn around.
"Do you have any other orders?"
At this time, Li Wanlong was no longer as friendly as before. There was a ball of fire burning in his heart, and it was hard to suppress it.
However, Ye Zichen completely ignored him. Instead, he turned to Wu Di and said, "Don't worry.
"Disciple, let me take this opportunity to teach you a lesson. Sometimes, forbearance isn't the best way to handle things. Sometimes, it's more direct to take action. For example, just now, when these people bullied you, you should've acted like this …. "
Bang! Bang!
Several afterimages flashed by. Not even Li Wanlong saw what Ye Zichen had done. By the time he turned around, he saw that all of Li Kai's bodyguards, including Li Kai, were lying on the ground, blood pouring out of their mouths.
"Hit me back."
Ye Zichen gently patted Wu Di's head, his expression calm and relaxed.
He didn't care about the others, but when he saw how badly his son was injured, and how badly he'd need at least a month to recover, he couldn't even participate in the clan's grand competition.
"What is the meaning of this, Your Excellency?"
All of a sudden, the Spiritual Pressure within Li Wanlong's body was completely released. His entire aura flourished, and the boundless Spiritual Pressure caused the surrounding spectators to feel an endless pressure.
"What do you want?"
Ye Zichen didn't even activate his spiritual energy in the face of this spiritual pressure. He merely glanced at him.
In an instant, Li Wanlong felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit of ice. A chill ran from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head. Those indifferent eyes instantly sobered him up, and the majestic aura also made him withdraw.
"Senior, please don't blame me. I didn't mean to offend you."
Zheng Yunan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when Li Wanlong referred to himself as a junior. This sort of junior's greeting was only used when the other party was an entire stage above them. Li Wanlong was already a Human Immortal. Could it be that Wu Di's master was an Earth Immortal?
When she thought of this, Zheng Yunan's eyes lit up with delight. She was genuinely happy for Wu Di.
"Is my disciple someone you can bully?" Ye Zichen said coolly, then put his hand on Wu Di's shoulder. "Wu Di, from now on, you'd better stand up straight. Don't be afraid, you still have Master behind you! "
Wu Di's heart ached inexplicably. Ever since his mother passed away, no one had ever treated him like this. He resisted the urge to cry, straightened his back, and nodded solemnly. Ye Zichen's name, as well as his words, were forever etched into his heart. He'd never forget them.
"As for you …."
Ye Zichen's gaze fell on Li Wanlong. By now, Li Wanlong was already certain that this expert was at least an Earth Immortal. He might even be a Sky Immortal.
He didn't dare meet Ye Zichen's gaze. All he could do was lower his head.
"Senior, please speak."
"I'll give you three days to deliver the resources you promised my disciple to his residence. If even a single spirit stone is missing, this matter won't be over. Do you understand? "
"I understand, I understand. There's no need for three days. I'll deliver them to my dear nephew first thing in the morning."
What pain? What reluctance?
Right now, Li Wanlong's survival was the most important thing. If this kind of expert wanted to squash him to death, it would be as easy as snapping a finger. Even if he was killed here, with his sister's relationship, the Wu Family would definitely not provoke this kind of expert.
Money was a worldly possession. So long as he was still alive and working in Black Ox Town, he could get it back.
"I said three days, so it's three days. You're delivering it tomorrow? Are you trying to make trouble for me?" Ye Zichen frowned.
Li Wanlong was on the verge of tears. He nodded repeatedly.
"Three days! Senior, if you say three days, then three days!"
"That's more like it."
Ye Zichen snorted coldly at Li Wanlong. This snort almost scared Li Wanlong's heart out of his chest.
"Then I'll take my leave."
"Wait a moment …."
Zheng Yunan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Li Wanlong's face was filled with sorrow, but when he looked at Ye Zichen, he was all smiles. "Don't worry, I'll be fine.
"Senior, do you have any other orders?"
"I'm actually quite embarrassed to make you bleed like this!"
"How could that be? As his uncle, it's only natural for me to give my nephew some cultivation resources."
"Are you sure you're telling the truth?"
"Absolutely!"
Li Wanlong nodded vigorously. Ye Zichen pursed his lips and shook his head.
"In truth, I can't bear to make you bleed like this either."
"It's nothing. It's just my duty as your uncle."
Li Wanlong smiled apologetically. Right now, his only goal was to get the hell out of here. If he stayed here any longer, he was afraid his heart would stop beating.
"The more you say that, the more embarrassed I feel." Ye Zichen's eyes brimmed with conflict. "A million spirit coins is a fortune to anyone, but it's also a token of your kindness. If I don't accept, it'll seem like I'm not giving you face. How about this …. Wu Di, come over here. "
Ye Zichen reached out and called Wu Di over, a warm smile in his eyes. Then, he heard Ye Zichen speak.
