Chapter 175: Parting on Bad Terms

"Do you think threatening someone with something like this is how a gentleman should act?" Gong Qinyin asked resentfully .

"Heh, that's not a threat . It is merely an expression of my love to you . " Wen Jinnuo smiled and said confidently, "In any case, your Gong Clan is intending to form a connection with our Wen Clan through marriage, right?" 

"If that is the cost, I would rather give up on that thing . I will never compromise," Gong Qinyin spat before standing up to leave .

"Leave and your name will be erased from the Cloud Margin Pavilion's list . Do you want to give it a try?" Wen Jinnuo sneered .

"You are pushing it too far!" Gong Qinyin said furiously .

"Just be my woman already, Qinyin . Do you think that I'm actually not worthy of you? I am stronger than you, and my clan is stronger than yours . Become my woman, and we shall work together to become a powerful pair that everyone will be envious of . Won't that be a beautiful future?" Wen Jinnuo said longingly .

Gong Qinyin's expression kept shifting until she eventually said, "You are worthy of me, but I am not worthy of you . "

She then left without saying anything else .

Wen Jinnuo blocked her path and said with a low voice, "Are you giving up on the millennium earthcore fire? That is not a flame you can easily find . Without it, I'm afraid the old man of your clan will depart the mortal world very soon . "

Millennium earthcore fire! Although Wen Jinnuo was speaking in a low voice that was hardly audible to anyone else, Xiang Shaoyun was able to hear everything clearly with his gift of instincts .

A unique flame was exactly what he was looking for at the moment . He needed it to refine the Overlord Skyslaying Saber and smelt the heavenly eye stone to extract the heavenly eye liquid from within . When he heard about the millennium earthcore fire, he couldn't keep calm anymore .

The millennium earthcore fire was a unique flame that would only form after 1,000 years of existence . From the amount of time it required to form, one could imagine how powerful the flame was .

It was at this moment that Wen Hong arrived with some other people for Xiang Shaoyun . He came in a group of three, and even the Wen Clan leader was part of the group . When Wen Jinnuo, who was speaking with Gong Qinyin, saw them, he quickly stood up in excitement and greeted them deferentially . "Greetings, father and the two elders . "

"What are you doing here instead of cultivating in the pavilion?" questioned the clan leader unhappily .

"Father, I've just returned from a training trip and met Qinyin by coincidence . We are having a meal here," said Wen Jinnuo .

The clan leader glanced at Gong Qinyin . The latter quickly stepped forward and saluted him, "Gong Qinyin of Gong Clan pays the Wen Clan leader her respects . "

"Haha, so it is a niece from the Gong Clan? It has been quite a while since I last saw you . Look at you all grown up and beautiful now . You have grown very well!" said the clan leader with a smile . He paused for a bit and continued, "Alright, continue . We have business to attend . "

"Clan leader, there he is," said Wen Hong as he pointed at Xiang Shaoyun .

The Wen Clan group then walked toward Xiang Shaoyun's table . Wen Jinnuo and Gong Qinyin were naturally not qualified to go with them . When they looked over, they were astonished to find that the clan leader actually had business with the people who were previously seated near them .

"Mister, this is our clan leader . He will be personally handling the negotiation . May we move to a private room now?" Wen Hong said in a friendly manner .

Both Xiang Shaoyun and Mo Mo stood up and greeted the Wen Clan people . Xiang Shaoyun was able to sense that the clan leader was a King Realm cultivator, one that was likely to be far stronger than a regular King Realm cultivator .

"Let's book a private room in this restaurant to continue the talk," said the clan leader . When he saw that Xiang Shaoyun and Mo Mo were both only Transformation Realm cultivators, he started to think less of them .

"There is no need for that . Just offer a price . If it is a price we find agreeable, we can stay in touch and complete the transaction," said Xiang Shaoyun in a straightforward manner . He had no interest in wasting too much time on this . In any case, he could see from the clan leader's eyes that he was looking down on them .

"This—" Wen Hong wanted to say something, but the clan leader interrupted him, "That is fine . If you really have some top-quality goldsteel stones with you, we are willing to pay 500 low-grade spirit crystals for each catty of top-quality goldsteel stone . We will buy everything you have . "

Xiang Shaoyun's face fell . He said, "Looks like the clan leader is not sincere in wanting to buy the stone after all . Fine, I won't be selling it then . "

Top-quality goldsteel stone was a true emperor-grade material . On the market, each catty would be worth at least 1,000 spirit crystals . But this person was only offering half the market price . Where was his sincerity?

Xiang Shaoyun was no idiot . He knew better than anyone else here the real value of the top-quality goldsteel stone . Since this person was looking down on him that much, there was no point for him to be courteous . Wen Hong had not expected his clan leader to offer such a low price either . It was not what the clan leader had promised when they were on their way here .

"Haha, you should be honored that this clan leader is even bothering to talk to you . The price I offer is a good price . If you refuse, well, you would need to be on the lookout for yourself after this," said the clan leader with a sneer . He then added, "Crime rate in Cloud Margin City has been increasing as of late . A missing person every now and then is a common occurrence . "

After saying that, he directly turned and left, placing Wen Hong in an awkward position . After a slight hesitation, he left as well .

Wen Jinnuo and Gong Qinyin remained, with Wen Jinnuo looking at Xiang Shaoyun with a toying expression . He said, "I don't know who you are, but I advise you to do as told . Otherwise, you won't be able to leave Cloud Margin City alive . "

"Haha, if I had known that the Wen Clan is such a clan, I wouldn't have bothered wasting my breath talking with you people," Xiang Shaoyun sneered as well . He then spoke to Gong Qinyin, "Miss, it is better to keep your distance from a person who looks decent but is in fact immoral like this . Otherwise, you will have your life ruined by him . "

Wen Jinnuo pointed at Xiang Shaoyun and furiously berated, "Are you courting death?" 

If they weren't currently in the restaurant, he would have attacked directly . This fellow dared to sow dissent right in front of his face?

"Hah, try touching me if you have the guts," Xiang Shaoyun provoked .

"Big words . If you have the guts, don't leave the restaurant . Or else, you won't live to see the sun tomorrow," declared Wen Jinnuo . He then pulled Gong Qinyin and left, but Gong Qinyin broke off from his hold and said, "Don't touch me!"

"You will pay for this, whore!" Wen Jinnuo scolded . He then shot Xiang Shaoyun a final glare before leaving .

"Young master, what should we do? The Wen Clan is a local tyrant," asked Mo Mo anxiously .

"Don't worry . Everything will be fine," replied Xiang Shaoyun in an uncaring manner .

"If you don't mind, I will be able to help you leave the city," offered Gong Qinyin kindly .

Just for the words Xiang Shaoyun had said earlier, she felt responsible to help the two before her . For some reason, she kept feeling that the man before her was familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had seen him before .
