Chapter 1576: Chapter 697: The Future Path of Cultivation! An Apology (Part 3)
“Three Quasi-Saints, Heart Source Quasi-Saint and Dong Mang Quasi-Saint have arrived,” the star attendant said with neither arrogance nor servility.
“You may leave now,” Dong Mang God King said.
Inside the hall.
Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint and the other two had been waiting for a long time, yet there weren’t even any common immortal brew fruits on their table… This was specifically ordered by Dong Mang God King.
He was simmering with anger, so naturally, he wouldn’t be courteous to Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint and the others.
“Heart Source Daoist, Dong Mang Daoist.” Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint stood up, remaining extremely courteous even though he wasn’t receiving a warm welcome.
“Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint, why aren’t you in Red Lotus Mansion cultivating in peace? What brings you to Chaos Mansion?” Li Yuan said indifferently.
“I’m here on my master’s orders, no less,” Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint smiled. “My master has heard about the assault by Chuyan Quasi-Saint and Mo Yue Quasi-Saint on you and is very furious… Therefore, he specifically commanded me to bring them to apologize.”
Then, Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint looked at the two people beside him.
“You two, it was our mistake, and we hope for your forgiveness,” Chuyan Quasi-Saint said softly, bowing his head, his aura faint.
Mo Yue Quasi-Saint did the same.
Both of them were filled with anger… They had clearly suffered great losses, yet they had to bow down, but the situation was beyond their control.
“Apologize?” Dong Mang God King sneered. “Xia Jiang, don’t think you can scare us with the name of the Emperor Realm; we’re not afraid… I distinctly remember that you intended a fierce retaliation at the time.”
“Now, with just one sentence, do you think you can resolve all grudges? Isn’t that a bit ridiculous?”
Li Yuan remained silent.
Dong Mang God King played the bad cop, simply observing how things unfolded.
“My master did not intend to suppress the two of you,” Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint, dressed in red, exceptionally handsome, said with a smile. “Before I arrived, my master specifically instructed me to offer 50 square Eternal Crystals as an apology to resolve our karma and grudges… and additionally offer 2 million square Eternal Crystals to retrieve Chuyan Quasi-Saint’s eight Quasi-Saint Puppets. How about that?”
Li Yuan was still silent.
“Two million square Eternal Crystals for the eight Quasi-Saint Puppets, we can agree to that,” Dong Mang God King coldly replied. “But 50 square Eternal Crystals as an apology? Isn’t that a bit stingy for an Emperor Realm figure? You apparently still haven’t figured out my junior brother’s status after all this time.”
“Haha.”
“I understand, Heart Source Daoist holds a noble position…” Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint continued smiling, unfazed, “Let me take charge here. How about 100 square Eternal Crystals as an apology?”
“Fine.”
“Senior brother.” Li Yuan finally spoke, smiling, “Senior brother, let bygones be bygones… Let’s give Chuhong Emperor Realm some face.”
“Alright,” Dong Mang God King nodded, immediately staying silent.
Actually, never mind 100 square Eternal Crystals… even 50 square Eternal Crystals, Dong Mang God King thought was already enough.
After all, he used to have to risk his life to earn 100,000 square Eternal Crystals.
Very soon.
The two parties made the exchange: Li Yuan released the eight Quasi-Saint Puppets he had imprisoned, and Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint and Chuyan Quasi-Saint handed over a total of 3 million square Eternal Crystals.
Then.
Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint left the Chaos Mansion with Chuyan Quasi-Saint and Mo Yue Quasi-Saint, leaving only Li Yuan and Dong Mang God King in the Guest Reception Hall.
“Senior brother.”
“Since we both were attacked and both exerted effort to resist, let’s split these 3 million square Eternal Crystals evenly,” Li Yuan suggested.
“For the 2 million square Eternal Crystals for the eight Quasi-Saint Puppets, I’ll take half, 1 million square Eternal Crystals will suffice for me,” Dong Mang God King shook his head and said, “But for the 1 million square Eternal Crystals as an apology? I don’t need it.”
“Junior brother, you and I both know, they’re willing to apologize because of you, not me,” Dong Mang God King said solemnly, “Taking half makes me uneasy.”
Dong Mang God King had his pride.
What is rightfully his, he would not be shy about.
“Alright.”
Li Yuan smiled wryly, knowing his senior brother’s temperament, and then shifted the topic: “By the way, senior brother, I just sent a message to Elder Huo Qu.”
“Tomorrow, the Divine Mansion should send you a ’Star Guard Order,’” Li Yuan said.
“Star Guard Order? For me?” Dong Mang God King was slightly startled.
He had long known that the Protection Order could grant the Divine Mansion ten more Star Guard Orders, but he never asked Li Yuan for one… Because he knew the value of the Star Guard Order.
In the Divine Mansion, a group of Fifth Rank Quasi-Saints were in line, let alone him?
Without mentioning anything else.
Just the 3 million square Eternal Crystals to exchange for a Star Guard Order, he couldn’t come up with it.
“Junior brother, is this okay?” Dong Mang God King hesitated a bit.
“I have five discretionary slots,” Li Yuan smiled, having thought long before deciding to give his senior brother a Star Guard Order.
Although it might stir some criticism among the many Fifth Rank Quasi-Saints in Chaos Mansion.
But Li Yuan didn’t care.
“Alright.” Dong Mang God King felt more at ease upon hearing this. His true self was currently in slumber, naturally desiring the Star Guard Order, but then he showed a bit of difficulty: “It’s just that I might need to repay you the 3 million square Eternal Crystals later.”
“Senior brother, you’ve helped me so much all along the way,” Li Yuan shook his head, “This Star Guard Order, senior brother just accept it; if you still talk about Eternal Crystals, I’d be really annoyed.”
“Just hoping.”
“This Star Guard Order can be of help to you, senior brother.”
…
Outside Chaos Mansion.
“Senior brother.”
“That Dong Mang was too arrogant,” Chuyan Quasi-Saint said with resentment, growling, “100 square Eternal Crystals? They sure think highly of themselves.”
Mo Yue Quasi-Saint remained silent.
“Chuyan.”
“This wasn’t my decision; it was made by the master,” Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint shook his head.
“Father actually ordered this?” Chuyan Quasi-Saint was shocked.
“Originally, no,” Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint sighed, “But today, my master received a message… Heart Source Quasi-Saint is now a Star City protector.”
“Star City protector?” Chuyan Quasi-Saint and Mo Yue Quasi-Saint’s faces changed.
They understood very well what a protector represented.
Knowing full well, Li Yuan wasn’t a member of the Tianluo Universe Alliance!
“Therefore.”
“Chuyan, the master orders… For the next million years, all your incarnations in Immortal Heaven and Earth must remain within Red Lotus Mansion Prefecture City, not allowed to go out, as a form of punishment,” Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint said solemnly.
“Punishment? A million years?” Chuyan Quasi-Saint was stunned, quickly asking, “Why? We clearly resolved our grievances today.”
A million years of not being able to leave the residence would be too painful for him.
“Resolved grievances?”
“That’s only what you and I think, Heart Source Quasi-Saint ultimately did not make an Eternal Oath,” Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint shook his head, “Thus, the master will confine you for a million years, just in case for the future.”
“For the future?” Mo Yue Quasi-Saint began to understand.
“Once in the future.”
“If Heart Source Quasi-Saint reaches the Peak of the Emperor Realm, recalls this event… and notices you’ve been punished for a million years, perhaps then it will finally extinguish the anger in his heart,” Xia Jiang Quasi-Saint explained.
Chuyan Quasi-Saint was dumbfounded.
“For the next million years, I’ll also be in retreat cultivating at the Divine Mansion,” Mo Yue Quasi-Saint said with a wry smile.
…
Unaware of Chuyan Quasi-Saint’s imprisonment, Li Yuan went about his business obliviously.
Even if he knew, Li Yuan wouldn’t care.
Having agreed to resolve the grievances, as long as the other party did not provoke him again, Li Yuan, by nature, would not dwell on the past.
Now, Li Yuan had left the Divine Mansion, heading alone to Tianluo City, preparing to purchase an Emperor Weapon suitable for himself.
