BXBX NOVEL Chapter 16
“If sect master is happy, then these night-luminescent pearls will not be wasted. At least they are useful now.”
The crowd was speechless. The night-luminescent pearls seemed to be useless in Ye Xuan’s eyes and could only be used to pave the floor?
He was simply a humblebrag.
For a moment, everyone’s jealousy and envy filled up the air.
Only one person had a livid expression, and that was Xie Yixuan. His eyes were red with anger as he watched Han Yue and Ye Xuan’s interaction.
One must know that Han Yue didn’t say a word when he gave her the ring!
“This Ye Xuan is simply going against me!”
He wasn’t the only one who had such thought, but also the other elders. Ye Xuan’s actions had made their gifts seem worthless.
The total value of everyone’s gifts here was probably not even one-tenth of the night-luminescent pearls.
What they gave was obviously not ordinary, but Ye Xuan was too rich, making the gifts look like they had been dug out of a garbage dump.
Ye Xuan looked at the elders’ expressions, which changed from green to red like a palette.
He walked over with a smile and said, “Now you know why I’ve hired the porters.”
“I wonder if everyone thinks the ten thousand spirit stones worth it?”
Ye Xuan’s words were like a loud slap in their faces.
The fifth elder wanted to retort, but he found that he couldn’t say anything at all. The more mocking they were before, the more embarrassed they were now.
Moreover, there were so many disciples watching from the side.
Someone said boldly, “Since Elder Ye is misunderstood, shouldn’t you apologize? We were almost misled.”
“It’s human nature to apologize after doing something wrong. You can’t simply criticize others just because you’re an elder.”
The fifth elder glared at the source of the voice. The disciples quickly lowered their heads as if they knew that the fifth elder would cause them trouble. He had no idea who had said it, so he could only let it go.
At this moment, the few elders didn’t know what to do. They were in a dilemma.
“What should we do now?”
“I don’t know either. It’s all your fault for being too harsh with your words just now. It’s too late to regret it now.”
“You still have the cheek to talk about me? You’ve also embroidered earlier. Who knew that he would be able to use one hundred thousand night-luminescent pearls to pave the ground?”
The fourth elder and the fifth elder were whispering to each other, and they felt restless as they faced the crowd’s gazes. Their expressions became even uglier.
Countless gazes were fixed on them. The disciples were discussing, and their voices grew louder and louder.
Ye Xuan enjoyed the embarrassment on their faces with great interest, and finally showed mercy, “Forget it. I’m a magnanimous man. We’re all from the same sect, so there’s no need to be so petty and calculative.”
He said the last few words with deep meaning.
Anyone could tell that Ye Xuan was referring to the matter of these people working together to run him down. Now, it could be said that the tables had turned.
Many disciples could not help but laugh.
This Elder Ye was not only rich, but also had a sharp tongue. His style of doing things was really unique.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of ‘Consuming One Hundred Thousand Night-luminescent Pearls’.]
[Mission reward: 500 prodigal points]
[Random mission: Consume Ten Thousand Crystal Ice Chalcedony (an extremely rare item that can be used as the core of a formation and provide a huge amount of spiritual energy)]
[Mission reward: 500 prodigal points. Mission failure will result in random points deduction. Mission time limit: 3 days]
Hearing the system’s notification, Ye Xuan was overjoyed and accepted the mission without hesitation.
He didn’t expect that a mission would be refreshed so quickly after it was completed. Crystal Ice Chalcedony sounded like a good item. It would probably be easier to spend ten thousand of them than the one hundred thousand night-luminescent pearls.
Soon, it was time for the sect master to give gifts in return. At this moment, Han Yue was in a dilemma.
How was she going to return the one hundred thousand night-luminescent pearls?
She was afraid that even with all her assets, she wouldn’t be able to return Ye Xuan’s generous gift.
The old man beside Han Yue saw her dilemma and reminded her in a low voice, “Sect master’s gift must not be taken lightly to avoid the people below from criticizing.”
The old man wished that he could worship Ye Xuan as the God of Fortune.
“This kid gave us five hundred thousand spirit stones previously, and now even one hundred thousand night-luminescent pearls. It’s obvious that he has an extraordinary background. He’s rich and overbearing, so we must win him over. In the future, he will definitely be able to help sect master with your revenge.”
“Elder Bai, I know what you mean. But how should I return the favor?”
Elder Bai seemed to have thought of something, “I remember that you had obtained a top body technique by chance. This kid’s cultivation level is not high enough. If he has a technique with him, it would be more secure. I think it would be the most suitable gift in return.”
These words made sense. Han Yue nodded. A book appeared in her hand with a flash of inspiration, which exuding an inexplicable aura.
The moment the book appeared, it instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Even the ordinary disciples could feel that it was extraordinary, let alone the elders who knew what it was.
On the light blue cover, a few large golden words were written on it, shining with supreme spirituality–Mysterious Hidden Steps.
“The heaven with spiritual energy is the best; the king with techniques is the best; the hidden technique is the best; and the law with clear judgement is the best.”
“If this body technique is cultivated to the peak, it will be mysterious and difficult to detect. No matter how powerful and capable an expert is, he or she will neither be able to keep up with you, nor to find you.”
