When Dan Lei of the Lotus Mystic Realm, Liu Kaiyun of the Golden Crow Liu Clan, and Bai Teng of the Grand Bai Clan came forward to plead for leniency, everyone present had already guessed the result. They also knew that the mysterious First Master would have no choice but to agree to their pleas.
Originally, everyone thought that this mysterious First Master could reach the 81st floor of the Golden Pagoda. Faced with the pleas of the three great clans, he was indifferent at first. Many people thought that this First Master was really resourceful and did not think much of the three great clans. Now, it seemed that this was not the case.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
After all, this First Master had lost all his cultivation. Even if his Divine Sense was strong, so what if he could reach the 81st floor of the Golden Pagoda?
Faced with the overbearing pleas of the Lotus Mystic Realm, Golden Crow Liu Clan, and Grand Bai Clan, he did not dare to refuse.
If he did not agree, the three great clans could summon countless experts with a message talisman. They could scare him to death.
Under such circumstances, no one present dared to refuse.
In the end, the vast wilderness was a place where strength was respected. Only those with strength would recognize you as the First Master. Without strength, even if you were the First Master, if you lost all your cultivation, you would be nothing more than a toothless tiger in the eyes of most people. There was no need to fear you.
In the field, Xuan Yun, Liu Feng, and Bai Yufei changed from their previous dispirited state to glowing radiantly.
Previously, when Gu Qingfeng reached the 81st floor of the Golden Pagoda, they were in a daze and did not dare to raise their heads. When they knelt down to apologize, they also lost all their face.
When Dan Lei and the others first tried peaceful means before resorting to force, begging for leniency on their behalf, and threatening Gu Qingfeng to agree, the three of them held their heads high and puffed out their chests. Their proud and complacent expressions seemed to be telling everyone that it was not that they could not afford to gamble, nor that they could not afford to lose. It was that this First Master could not afford to play with them. He did not have the guts and dared not play with them.
Although they had lost a lot of face by kneeling and apologizing, the elders of the three Secret Realm Clans had stood up for them and forced the mysterious Grand Master to agree to their terms. This had more or less allowed them to regain some face.
"Yun 'er, hurry up and thank First Master for his magnanimity!"
Dan Lei stood to the side with one hand behind his back and the other stroking his white beard. His face was solemn. It could be said that he had the posture of a senior master.
Xuan Yun and the others glanced at Gu Qingfeng. Their eyes were filled with complacency, disdain, and disdain. Just as they were about to thank him, Gu Qingfeng said, "Alright, there's no need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, then thank young master Xuan Yun for treating us to a meal earlier."
"Oh?" Pill Lightning was a little confused. He asked, "What do you mean?"
"When I first came to the Wind Moon Small World, Young Master Xuan Yun treated me to a big meal. I've always remembered this favor. Before we made the bet, I said that I would return him a favor. This time, I'll treat it as returning this favor."
"There's such a thing?"
Pill Lightning looked at Xuan Yun.
"There is indeed such a thing. But …" Xuan Yun said proudly, "I've said it earlier. That meal was only a treat to Ling 'er, and it isn't related to you at all. The reason you were able to sit down was entirely because of Ling' er. So, you don't owe me anything, nor do you have to return this favor."
"Xuan Yun!"
Mu Lingyao was truly unable to continue watching, and she stood out and shouted. "Aren't you being too shameless? Our First Master gave face to Senior Pill Lightning and the others and didn't make a fuss about the bet with you. He's already giving you enough face. Yet not only are you not grateful, you're actually shamelessly making sarcastic remarks here!"
"Haha! Eldest Young Miss Mu, this Young Master has already knelt, made amends, and apologized. Moreover, this Young Master can afford to lose the bet. It's nothing more than ten million kowtows. As long as Old Master asks this Young Master to kowtow, this Young Master won't hesitate and will immediately kowtow. Even if this Young Master can't finish kowtowing, all the senior and junior brothers in the Secret Lotus Realm will definitely kowtow with me. Ten million kowtows, not one less! "
Subsequently.
Liu Feng and Bai Yufei stood out and chimed in as well.
At this moment, Xuan Yun's group of three were much more confident with the support of the seniors of their clans. Coupled with Pill Lightning's threat from before, they'd forced Gu Qingfeng to not dare refuse in the end. Xuan Yun's group of three were sure that Gu Qingfeng was definitely afraid of the strength of the Lotus Secret Realm, and they couldn't help but become complacent. They turned around and stared at Gu Qingfeng before they sneered. "First Master, if this Young Master dares to kowtow to you today, do you dare accept it? If you dare, then this Young Master will summon all the disciples of my Lotus Secret Realm over right now and kowtow to you 10 million times! "
"Our Bai Clan will definitely not miss a single one of your kowtows."
"Our Golden Crow Liu Clan will not miss a single one of your kowtows as well. If you dare to accept it, then so what if we give you another 100 million kowtows? I'm just afraid you won't dare to accept it!"
At this moment, Xuan Yun, Bai Yufei, and Liu Feng were each more arrogant and domineering than the last. On the other hand, the members of the three great clans of the Lotus Secret Realm were sure that Gu Qingfeng was afraid of their clans. Even Senior Pill Lightning was the same, and he'd even berated them earlier. Now, he'd simply closed his eyes and allowed Xuan Yun's group of three to act arrogantly.
Gu Qingfeng chuckled as he watched this, and then he shook his head and said, "Don't say that. I really don't dare!"
"Since you don't dare, then don't say anything about doing this Young Master a favor." Xuan Yun was even more complacent as he said proudly, "This Young Master will say it once more. That meal was only on Ling 'er, and it has nothing to do with you. The reason you were able to sit down was entirely because of Ling' er. So, you don't owe this Young Master anything, nor do you have to return this favor."
Xuan Yun thought that Gu Qingfeng only wanted to find a way out for himself when he said he owed him a favor, but he clearly didn't want to give Gu Qingfeng such a way out.
"Whether you accept this favor or not is your problem." Gu Qingfeng picked up a cup of wine and took a sip. He smiled and said, "Isn't it still my business? Before we made the bet, I said that I would return the favor today. Now, I'll still say the same thing. This bet will be considered as returning the favor."
"Hehe!"
Xuan Yun laughed in disdain, "You're just trying to find a way out for yourself. Alright! This Young Master will give you a way out today and accept this favor! "
"Oh my, based on what you're saying, do I have to thank you?"
"There's no need, and there's no need."
"Alright, then it's settled. Today's matter will end here. I'll consider that I've returned the favor for that meal, and we're even." Gu Qingfeng held the violet gold and white jade tobacco pouch and took a puff of Ling Yan 'er, and then he said indifferently, "In the future, all of you can play your own things, and I'll play mine. Don't look for trouble with me anymore. I'm just an honest person, and I don't like to cause trouble."
