Chapter 194: 194: Leave, No Farewell

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai and the others had the audacity to take action, Gu Xian was engulfed in a conflagration of anger.

“You bunch of bastards, do you think this is your home? What are all of you waiting for? Capture them all!” Gu Xian roared in fury.

Seeing this, a few strong individuals at the middle stage of Transcendence near him quickly stepped forward to apprehend the offenders.

Just then, a burst of power erupted, sending everyone flying.

Gu Xian knitted his brows tightly and turned toward a certain direction.

Over there, he saw more than a dozen figures walking toward them.

Leading the group was Lin Yucheng, clad in a black robe.

Upon seeing the arrivals, Gu Xian furrowed his brows slightly, “May I ask,

Elder Lin, what is the meaning of this?”

“This person is causing a disturbance at the gate of my City Lord’s mansion and went so far as to attack my staff. This is a violation against the iron laws of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. Do you guys intend to intervene?”

Lin Yucheng walked up, his expression nonchalant, “City Lord Gu, I think you’re overreacting.”

“We only want to avoid a falling out between you guys and this young friend here, Hong. All of this is just a misunderstanding.”

Even though he didn’t outright say it, Gu Xian knew Lin Yucheng was going to step in to plead for Jiang Xiaobai.

At this point, Gu Xian was frowning deeply, “Elder Lin, that’s a bit too much.”

“What’s gone too far?”

Lin Yucheng responded with a faint smile, “Are you implying that because you have the backing of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, you can disregard my words, or are you simply unimpressed by my status as an elder of Purple Garden

Mountain?”

With a few words, he turned Gu Xian’s face pale with shock.

Having Lin Yucheng intervene at this point caused Gu Xian to panic. The former’s formidable strength was something his City Lord’s mansion couldn’t contend with.

And in this matter, Gu Xian was clearly in the wrong. If this escalated, it would definitely spell his doom.

This whole situation has humiliated the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. The royal dynasty would undoubtedly need to find a scapegoat, and Gu Xian fit the bill perfectly.

As for Jian San and others who were standing beside Lin Yucheng, they stared at Jiang Xiaobai in astonishment, their eyelids twitching constantly.

“This is what you call a small matter?”

“You have the guts to confront the City Lord’s mansion? If they hadn’t decided to come to the City Lord’s mansion today, you would have been done for!”

Even Lin Yucheng looked at Jiang Xiaobai in an extremely serious manner,

“Hong Shixian, why are you causing a ruckus with the City Lord’s mansion?”

“Elder Lin, it’s just a small matter. The City Lord’s mansion owes me fifty billion high-grade spirit stones, I’m just here to claim my dues.”

Pfft!

A few of the high-ranking elders nearly choked on their own spit upon hearing this.

Fifty billion high-grade spirit stones, and you call this a small matter?

After that, Jiang Xiaobai proceeded to explain everything. After hearing the explanation, Lin Yucheng slowly nodded.

“Although the City Lord’s Mansion was clearly the one who overstepped, friend, it’s better not to blow things out of proportion. It won’t be good for anyone.”

“Why not let me mediate for you? How about asking the City Lord’s Mansion to compensate you with ten billion high-grade spirit stones? I believe the City Lord’s Mansion can afford it.’

Lin Yucheng suggested.

Jiang Xiaobai honestly hadn’t expected this. He looked incredulously at Lin Yucheng, surprise filling his eyes.

This guy, why is he suddenly speaking up for me?

He realized that he had defeated Gong Shuier, one of the saintesses of Purple Garden Mountain, thus causing embarrassment to them. The opposing party’s attitude towards him shouldn’t have been this good, right? “Hiss… could it be that this guy is an old smooth-talker?”

“Wow, that’s really damn thrilling, isn’t it?”

Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed in his heart.

In reality, Lin Yucheng did rate Jiang Xiaobai highly and wanted to maintain good relations with him.

Given this situation, Lin Yucheng felt that he had to go out of his way to do Jiang Xiaobai a favor. If not now, when?

Elder Lin, you really know how to make things difficult,” Gu Xian replied darkly.

Lin Yucheng replied calmly, “Well, your City Lord’s Mansion is indeed the one going overboard here. Do you want to make a scene out of it?”

“Um…”

All of a sudden, Gu Xian fell silent.

Naturally, he didn’t want to do so. However, him pulling out ten billion hurts him to his core.

It was as though he was being drained dry.

“By the way, Elder Lin, what brings you here all of a sudden?” Jiang Xiaobai seemed rather at ease. He didn’t care much about how things has panned out and casually said to Lin Yucheng with a smile.

“Hehe, your tremendous power earlier caused some discomfort to our saintess from Purple Garden Mountain.”

Lin Yucheng replied with a smile, “The saintess was reeling from the effects of stabilizing her spiritual essence after its completion, causing some instability. I came to the City Lord’s Mansion this time to seek help in finding something.”

“Oh? The Danshi Pill I gave you wasn’t useful?” Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow. Gu Xian was taken aback. He did indeed take the pill from Jiang Xiaobai but he hadn’t used it.

Firstly, he didn’t know much about it so he didn’t dare to use it. Secondly, he didn’t believe that Jiang Xiaobai would casually hand over such a valuable item to a complete stranger.

“I know what you’re thinking but don’t worry, that pill is completely fine. Just scrape off a bit of its powder to try it and see,” Jiang Xiaobai replied with a smile, “Also, I’ll give you another Danshi Pill. From what I can tell, the issue with your saintess is more than just instability.”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yucheng frowned.

What Jiang Xiaobai said was true. The reason Gong Shuier couldn’t complete her spiritual essence for several years was because there was an issue with her spirit.

Of course, it was a good problem to have. Her spirit was mysteriously strong, which made it difficult for her to establish her spiritual essence as she had to expend too much energy.

Not only that, Gong Shuier’s spirit was mysteriously becoming stronger, making it even more difficult for her.

“Take this pill home. If my guess is correct, five days after taking it, the saintess should be able to complete her spiritual essence.”

“What! Five days?”

Lin Yucheng was astounded, “Are you serious, young man?”

“Of course.

This…

All at once, Lin Yucheng didn’t know what to say. He didn’t really believe it in his heart, but what Jiang Xiaobai said was very tempting.

Heaven knows how long Gong Shuier had been struggling with this problem. If the outcome could really be as Jiang Xiaobai said, she would not only be thrilled, but she would also have a 70% chance of passing through the Mad Demon Secret Land this time!

“Don’t hesitate, take the pill. Consider it as…well, a little compensation for your saintess. ”

After saying this, everyone felt there was something off about Jiang Xiaobai’s words…

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai walked up to Wang Laowu and slapped him across the face publicly.

“If you don’t have what it takes, don’t bite off more than you can chew.”

“Give me your father’s principal investment.”

Wang Laowu was furious, but entirely helpless. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and hand over his storage ring.

Pleased to receive the item, Jiang Xiaobai flashed a grin.

“Alright, I know the City Lord’s mansion is penniless and can’t pay me back. I’ll go claim my money from the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.”

“I’ll take my leave, no need to see me out..”
