When Mu Lingyao finished speaking, Xuan Yun couldn't take it anymore. He raised his head and shouted angrily, "Mu Lingyao! What does my bet have to do with you?! "
"I didn't say it had anything to do with me."
"Then what are you saying?!"
"I like it. What can you do about it?"
"You!"
If it was anyone else who dared to humiliate them in public today, no matter if it was Xuan Yun, Bai Yufei, or Liu Feng, the three of them would not hesitate to make them pay a heavy price. However, none of them had the courage to do so when facing Mu Lingyao who had a powerful background. Even if their elders were by their side, they still did not dare to do so.
"Yun 'er, don't be rash!"
Senior Danlei reprimanded Xuan Yun.
As a knowledgeable and experienced senior, he knew very well that the current situation had nothing to do with whether Mu Lingyao's background was powerful or not. Even if it was someone else without a background, he would have reprimanded Xuan Yun as well. After all, they had lost the bet in the first place. Moreover, the matter had been blown out of proportion. Right now, all they could do was turn the matter into a small one and turn it into nothing. The best solution was to keep the peace. The greatest taboo was to blow the matter out of proportion. The greater the matter was, the more they would lose face.
The Lotus Secret Realm was an ancient inheritance and had a rather good reputation in the Bipolar Domain. It didn't matter if they lost a fight or a bet, but if they lost a bet and refused to admit it, the Lotus Secret Realm definitely couldn't afford to lose face.
Although the Golden Crow Liu Clan and the Grand Clan Bai Clan weren't as influential as the Lotus Secret Realm and didn't have as good a reputation, one was an Immortal Clan and the other a Grand Clan. If it was just a fight between the younger generation, it wouldn't be a problem. However, since their seniors had interfered, they had to admit to the bet. After all, they were respected seniors in the Bipolar Domain. They couldn't do something as shameful as going back on their words after losing a bet.
Whether it was an ancient secret realm or an Immortal Clan or a Grand Clan, if they wanted to establish themselves in the Bipolar Domain and pass down their legacies, they had to rely on their reputation in addition to their own strength.
If their reputation wasn't good, let alone the Grand Clans or Immortal Clans, even the ancient secret realms would be eliminated in the end.
Of course.
Apart from that, there was another more important reason.
That was the mysterious Grand Master who had made a bet with Xuan Yun and the others. His existence was too mysterious, strange, and unknown. None of them knew who the Grand Master was, but they knew one thing for sure. The Grand Master could easily ascend the eighty-first floor of the Golden Pagoda. He definitely wasn't an ordinary person, nor was he as simple as he seemed on the surface. Grand Master's existence......
Perhaps Xuan Yun, Bai Yufei, Liu Feng, and the other youngsters didn't think much of it and didn't think it was a big deal. In their opinion, even if this First Master really was some kind of expert in the past and possessed a powerful divine sense, it was still only divine sense. What was the use of having a powerful divine sense? He had lost his cultivation and was like a toothless tiger. There was nothing to fear.
...............................................
.......
. Although the mysterious Grand Master had lost his cultivation, he was still able to scare four Golden Immortals to death on Floating Island. That was enough to prove one thing. Losing one's cultivation didn't mean losing one's strength.
However, Grand Master Dan Lei and the others who had cultivated for thousands of years knew that it wasn't scary to have a strong cultivation or a powerful family background. What was scary was that you didn't know how strong the other party's cultivation was or how deep the other party's family background was.
The best way to deal with such a person was to keep a respectful distance from them.
Otherwise, if the other party was some mysterious expert, they might be annihilated.
This wasn't an exaggeration at all. Since ancient times, such things weren't rare. Some powerful secret realms in the Bipolar Domain had been annihilated because they had provoked someone they shouldn't have.
In the eyes of Grand Master Dan Lei and the others, even if the mysterious Grand Master wasn't such a person, he definitely wasn't far off.
Since they didn't know the Grand Master and didn't know his personality, Grand Master Dan Lei and the others couldn't plead for mercy. They wanted to ask Mu Lingyao to plead for Xuan Yun and the others, but Mu Lingyao directly said that she only wanted to show off and mock Xuan Yun and the others. As for pleading for mercy, sorry, they couldn't do anything about it. If you want to plead for mercy, go ask the Grand Master yourself.
Grand Master Dan Lei pondered for a moment and walked to the side of the nine-headed fiery cloud carriage. He cupped his hands and said, "I, Grand Master Dan Lei of the Lotus Secret Realm."
Since he didn't know Gu Qingfeng's strength, Grand Master Dan Lei didn't dare to be arrogant. Moreover, he was pleading for Xuan Yun, so he naturally had to lower himself. Moreover, Grand Master Luo of the Golden Tower, who was of the same generation as him, also addressed him as Grand Master. After thinking about it, he could only do the same.
Grand Master Dan Lei had cultivated for several tens of thousands of years. Whether it was cultivation or seniority, he was older than Bai Teng of the wealthy Bai family and Liu Kaiyun of the Golden Crow Liu family. He now addressed Gu Qingfeng as Grand Master. After Bai Teng and Liu Kaiyun walked over, they first introduced themselves. Then, just like Grand Master Dan Lei, they greeted him as Grand Master Dan Lei.
Logically speaking, even if Grand Master Dan Lei didn't stand up and greet the three of them, he should still be polite. After all, the three of them were influential senior experts in the Bipolar Domain, especially Grand Master Dan Lei. He had cultivated for several tens of thousands of years and was an elder of the Lotus Secret Realm. Across the entire Bipolar Domain, there weren't many people who could make him lower himself like this.
But.
To everyone's surprise, the mysterious Grand Master didn't stand up and greet them. He didn't even respond. He continued to sit on the wide and comfortable chair with his legs crossed and his body tilted. He placed one hand on the armrest and played with the two Earth Fiend Mysterious Balls. In the other, he held the purple-gold and white-jade tobacco pipe. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Grand Master Dan Lei and the others. But he just looked and didn't say a word.
Grand Master Ma stood obediently to the side, holding a wine pot in his hand and serving Gu Qingfeng's fine wine.
Mu Lingyao, Fairy Hua Die, Qian Ling and Qian Niao stood behind. They looked at Grand Master Dan Lei, Liu Kaiyun, Bai Teng and the others, and then looked at Gu Qingfeng.
When they were with Gu Qingfeng before, they felt that this guy was sloppy and roguish. Especially when Gu Qingfeng sat on the chair, they felt that he was as frivolous as he could be.
But they didn't know why.
At this moment, when Grand Master Dan Lei and the others came to greet him, Gu Qingfeng also sat casually on the chair with his legs crossed and smoked the Ling Yan 'er. The feeling they had for Gu Qingfeng was no longer frivolous, but an indescribable feeling.
