Liu Li Sect Master's words were very sincere, as if he was talking to an old friend of many years.
Gu Xuan smiled, "Even blood brothers have to settle accounts with each other.
If I don't make it up to you, I won't feel at ease.
Please don't refuse me. "
Sect Master Liu Li nodded with a reluctant expression.
"If that's the case, then it would be impolite for me to refuse.
But let's make it clear. Just give me some compensation. If you give me something too precious, I won't accept it. "
Hearing the conversation between Gu Xuan and Sect Master Liu Li, everyone present was dumbfounded.
[These two are so good at acting!]
[Even if I can't be a cultivator, I can be an actor among ordinary people. I can make a lot of money.]
Gu Xuan waved his hand.
"Don't worry, elder. I don't know what the compensation is, how precious it is, and how much it is."
"Oh?"
Liu Li sect master was puzzled.
"Why is that?"
Gu Xuan smiled and didn't answer right away.
Mo Jingyun and Li Xieyun looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes — as expected.
They lit a candle for Chen Murong in their hearts.
At the moment, Chen Murong and the others were frowning. They were thinking about what Gu Xuan meant.
Then, Gu Xuan's gaze landed on Chen Murong.
Chen Murong's heart thumped. Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something, and his expression changed drastically.
And then he saw Gu Xuan pointing at him with his right hand.
"Please look, elder. This is Chen Murong from Tianchen Kingdom. He wants to take back the crown prince of the Kingdom of Chen.
He says he is willing to compensate for the loss the crown prince of the Kingdom of Chen has caused to Dan Region.
And I want to compensate you.
So, I am willing to give you forty percent as the compensation from Yingtian Sect to you! "
Chen Murong's face started to twitch when he heard what Gu Xuan said.
"As expected! Gu Xuan is so despicable! "
Chen Murong cursed all the relatives of Gu Xuan in his heart.
No wonder he had been feeling uneasy since the beginning.
It turned out this was the reason.
Most likely, since knowing that Sect Master Liu Li was here to 'seek justice', Gu Xuan had already schemed against him.
Chen Murong suddenly had the urge to vomit blood.
Of all the things he shouldn't have done, he shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!
Liu Li Sect Master's eyes narrowed slightly.
Xiao Chen knew that this Gu Xuan was not one to suffer losses. The reason why he was so generous earlier was likely because he had already planned to drag Xiao Chen down with him.
As the saying goes, one who takes advantage of others has a soft mouth. He had just taken a huge advantage. This hot potato, if he didn't take it, he would feel very bad.
In particular, this hot potato seemed to be a great bargain. If he didn't take it, he would feel even more apologetic.
"Sect Leader Gu Xuan is indeed very sincere. Since this is the case, this hot potato … Oh no, this compensation, I naturally have to accept it.
However, the word 'four' sounds like the word 'death'. It's inauspicious and I don't like it.
In my opinion, 30% is enough! "
Sect Master Liu Li made a move to retreat in order to advance. She said thirty percent, but she stretched out five fingers and waved it in front of Gu Xuan.
She pretended to be humble. In reality, the hidden meaning was very clear. This old man thinks that forty percent is too little. You better raise it to fifty percent.
The people present were all shrewd people. Liu Li Sect Master's move of retreating in order to advance, everyone could hear the real meaning in his words.
Chen Murong and the rest were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
We haven't even discussed the ransom yet and you are already discussing how to split it?
This is too much!
Our Tianchen Kingdom doesn't want face!
She stretched out five fingers and waved it there. Do you think everyone is stupid and can't understand the meaning of your words?
Ji Shenhai silently nodded beside Gu Xuan.
If they pulled this old man into their group and extorted Tianchen Kingdom, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort. If they handled it well, getting fifty percent was definitely not a loss.
Furthermore, with this cooperation, they could also deepen the "friendship" between both parties.
And this was probably what Brother Gu Xuan had his eyes on.
This round, it was a huge profit!
Gu Xuan looked at Sect Master Liu Li and his lips curled into a smile.
"Old Senior is too polite. Alright, I'll listen to you. If you say thirty percent, then thirty percent!
A gentleman's words cannot be taken back! It's decided then! "
After Gu Xuan finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze.
Everyone was dumbfounded again.
Sect Master Liu Li's waving five fingers were trembling slightly.
Ji Shenhai's face was twitching. He felt like he had been slapped hard.
Only Mo Jingyun and Li Xieyun lit a candle for Sect Master Liu Li in their hearts.
When negotiating with the master, retreating in order to advance was a very stupid strategy. Because the master would be "naive" to think that you really retreated.
Furthermore, when you retreated, the master would block your way forward.
Sect Master Liu Li wanted to slap his own mouth.
A miscalculation!
A huge miscalculation!
He was numbed by this kid's low attitude. He never thought that at the most crucial moment, this kid wouldn't follow the script at all!
A trick, this was a real trick!
Looking at Sect Master Liu Li who was about to cry, Gu Xuan acted kindly. He pulled him up and walked into the main hall.
"Come on in. Let's continue to talk with General Chen Murong about the ransom. Oh no, about the compensation.
Just now, General Chen Murong said that he was very sincere. "
Chen Murong and the others had an impulse to chop Gu Xuan to death.
However, they still didn't dare to.
They entered the main hall.
The negotiation continued.
Several cups of spiritual tea were put on the table in front of both sides.
Gu Xuan picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Guys, don't be so polite with me. Have some tea first. This is good tea. You can't buy it outside."
Gu Xuan warmly greeted the guests.
They seemed to forget that he was the one who urged them to come in. They actually didn't mention anything about the Crown Prince and the compensation.
What a pity. Except for him, who else would be in the mood to drink tea?
Sect Master Liu Li still hadn't walked out of the shadow of being set up by Gu Xuan and losing ten percent of the compensation.
For a thick-skinned man like him who always wanted to take advantage of everything in the world, it was more painful than being stabbed by a knife.
But very quickly, he learned from this painful experience. Since 30% was missing, then how much was missing from that 10%? He would take it all back from the Heavenly Dawn Kingdom!
- Dong, dong!
Sect Master Liu Li knocked on the table and stared at Chen Murong.
"How much compensation are you going to give? I am in a hurry. Don't waste my time. Just make it clear! "
Gu Xuan half closed his eyes.
It was easy to drag Sect Master Liu Li into this. When it came to negotiation, it was better to find the one with the strongest fist.
Chen Murong didn't dare to hesitate.
He hurriedly said, "Our king is willing to give thirty Heavenly Level treasures, three Half Tongxuan level treasures, one broken Tongxuan level treasure, and ten holy crystals as the compensation for Crown Prince Chen Murong."
