Whose Courtyard?
During this period of time, the upper echelons of the family clans had been living leisurely. They were either drinking or chatting. Sometimes, when Liu Mengyan personally came, they would ignore her and act arrogantly.
In their eyes, the situation in the Eighteen Ancient Cities was already under their control. No matter what Chu Xingyun did, he would not be able to break the power of the major families, let alone suppress the chaos.
In addition, Liu Mengyan took the initiative to invite them. They subconsciously felt that Chu Xingyun had given in and wanted to take the initiative to divide the resources of the Eighteen Ancient Cities and the Eighteen Dynasties. As long as they continued to be in a stalemate, they would be able to gain more benefits.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the sound of rushing could be heard from outside the main hall. Everyone looked over and saw Liu Mengyan, who was dressed in white, walking over. The corners of her mouth immediately curled up, and she still had a relaxed and casual look on her face.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days. How have you all been?" Liu Mengyan's face was expressionless. As she spoke, the upper echelons of the family clans ignored her. They didn't even look at her. They just chatted among themselves and occasionally sneered.
Seeing this scene, Liu Mengyan's expression suddenly changed. Just as she was about to speak, Duan Chun, who was in front of her, stood up and said with a fake smile, "Patriarch Liu, it has been more than half a month since you sent out the invitation. We have also had several discussions. Today, you and I might as well be frank."
Duan Chun's body was full of arrogance. As soon as he finished speaking, Ou Zhongkui, who was beside him, stood up and said in a clear voice, "After serious discussion, we have finally decided to take 70% of the resources of the eighteen ancient cities and the eighteen dynasties.
"Moreover, the transfer of 70% of the resources must be completed within seven days." Mo Wuwei leisurely tasted his tea. His words were full of determination and didn't allow anyone to refute.
"As for the transfer, it must be handled by Pavilion Master Luo Yun personally. Moreover, it must be handed over in front of everyone." Teng Ji added in the end. He glanced at the three people beside him and smiled.
The words of these four people, every sentence, every word, were extremely powerful. Liu Mengyan could clearly feel that when she heard the end, her entire face sank and her body stiffened on the spot.
Liu Mengyan was so angry that she laughed. After glancing around, she abruptly turned around and left. "Seventy percent of the resources, and the Pavilion Master personally arranged it and even gave it out in public. Aren't you guys being too whimsical?"
"Since your request is so rude, there's no need for us to continue this discussion!" When Liu Mengyan walked out of the main hall, a cold and indifferent voice rang out, reaching everyone's ears. In the end, her figure flashed and instantly disappeared into the horizon.
Before leaving the Wind Willow Residence, Liu Mengyan secretly glanced behind her. Seeing that no one was watching her, she secretly formed a hand seal with both hands and retrieved the Calamity Spiritual Pearl that was suspended in the void.
Buzz!
After the Calamity Spiritual Pearl was taken away, the Calamity Qi that filled the surroundings vanished without a trace, and it was no longer isolated from the outside world.
However, the people in the Wind Willow Residence didn't sense any of this. Even when Liu Mengyan disappeared from their sight, they still didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. They constantly sneered complacently.
"After fighting with us for half a month, she still left in anger in the end. How pitiful." Duan Chun shook his head pretentiously. However, a mocking expression appeared on his face.
He withdrew his gaze and said to the people around him, "When we first came to the Wind Willow Residence, we asked for fifty percent of the resources. Liu Mengyan didn't reject us directly. Instead, she asked for more negotiations. Ten days later, we asked for sixty percent of the resources. Although Liu Mengyan was angry, she didn't leave."
"Today, when she heard about seventy percent of the resources, she turned around and left. This means that seventy percent has crossed her bottom line. As long as we take a step back, she will probably agree."
The eyes of quite a number of people flickered when they heard Duan Chun's analysis. One by one, they praised Duan Chun's sharp observation skills. The reason why they were willing to stay in the Wind Willow Residence for half a month was to obtain more resources.
"We already know where Luo Yun's bottom line is. Then, we will continue to put pressure on them. I believe that after a while, they will take the initiative to hand over the resources." Ou Zhongkui laughed. When he laughed, everyone laughed as well. With a burst of laughter, they walked out of the Wind Willow Residence with their heads held high.
This group of people walked in the Sacred Star City. All of them were arrogant and complacent. This was especially true for the four patriarchs. Their eyes were slightly lowered. They looked at everything as if they were kings.
In the eyes of these four patriarchs, in a few days, they would be on the same level as Chu Xingyun. They would be able to divide the resources of the eighteen ancient cities and the eighteen dynasties. The Sacred Star City was no exception. It would belong to them.
Therefore, they put on such an attitude. They completely ignored the curious gazes of the surrounding people. They thought that they were better than others.
Not long after, the group of people arrived at the depths of the Sacred Star City. Mo Wuwei took half a step forward and said in a vigorous voice, "After half a month of negotiations, it is inevitable that everyone will feel tired. Why don't we leave now? We will meet again at the Myriad Star Tower at dusk."
The crowd looked at each other. They did not have any objections. After saying goodbye, they left one after another. They were preparing to return to their residences to have a good rest.
Mo Wuwei watched them leave. Shortly after, he took a step forward and walked towards a deep courtyard not far away. That was his courtyard. It was extremely large and filled with a luxurious aura.
"Wait till I get my hands on a huge amount of resources. Then, there will be a place for me in this Saint Star City. By then, I'll take this entire area into my courtyard and have it all for myself." Mo Wuwei was in a great mood as he fantasized in his mind.
Squeak …
However, just as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, the tightly shut red door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in a dark purple robe strode out. His eyes were drowsy and lifeless, as if he had just woken up.
"Who are you? Why did you barge into my courtyard?" Mo Wuwei did not recognize this person. After looking him up and down, his face immediately turned green.
Mo Wuwei's cold voice scared the middle-aged man in purple. He looked over and saw that it was Mo Wuwei. He could not help but laugh, "I was wondering who it was. So it is Patriarch Mo. Sorry for the disrespect."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man in purple bowed slightly. However, he continued, "Ten days ago, I signed a contract at the Wanjian Pavilion branch and paid the spiritual stones to officially purchase this courtyard. Therefore, this courtyard belongs to me and not Patriarch Mo."
"Nonsense!" Mo Wuwei glared angrily. He did not understand what the middle-aged man in purple was saying. He reached out his hand and grabbed the middle-aged man as if he was grabbing a chicken. He was about to throw the middle-aged man out.
But at this moment, the purple-robed middle-aged man took out a scroll and handed it to Mo Wuwei, "Patriarch Mo, this is my house deed. If you still want to force your way in, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Deed?"
