Looking at Tong Shan, who was not far away from him, Gu Xi’s expression was indifferent, and the spiritual energy in his body had already begun to circulate quietly.
Even though there was a gap between their cultivation realms, Gu Xi still did not have the slightest fear. In his opinion, even if the two of them really fought, the winner would only be him. And the two of them had talked so much because Gu Xi did not want to waste time.
“Pavilion Master Tong, rules are meant to be broken. Sometimes, it’s very unpleasant to be stubborn,” Gu Xi said faintly, and a vague pressure spread out, meeting Tong Shan’s pressure in all directions. The two invisible forces instantly began to fiercely clash.
For a moment, neither side was able to suppress the other. This could not help but surprise Tong Shan.
“Sir, you must be joking. Our Ten Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has always acted according to the rules.”
Surprise flashed across the depths of his eyes. Tong Shan laughed and took a step forward. The pressure that he emitted suddenly rose to a whole new level. “If you wish to leave our Ten Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in one piece, please defeat me.”
Gu Xi snorted coldly. Just as he was about to make a move, he was unexpectedly stopped by Qing Zhu, who had remained silent the entire time. Just as Gu Xi’s face was filled with doubt, he saw Qing Zhu take out a golden token from her storage bag and throw it at Tong Shan, who was not far away.
Tong Shan took the token and glanced at it. In the next moment, his expression changed and the rolling pressure in the air disappeared without a trace.
“Madam…” He looked at Qing Zhu in disbelief as he carefully said.
Qing Zhu did not reply. She merely stood on the spot with an indifferent expression. Tong Shan immediately realized something. His gaze landed on Gu Xi. His face was immediately filled with a smile. “It is all my fault for being anxious. It is likely that there are many misunderstandings in this matter. The few of you should head to the top floor to discuss with me before coming to a decision.”
Gu Xi’s expression was filled with surprise when he saw Tong Shan’s sudden 180 degree change in attitude. He turend to look at Qing Zhu. He was not stupid. He naturally knew that the reason for Tong Shan’s change in attitude was because of the golden token that Qing Zhu had thrown out just now.
However, it was not the time to pursue this matter. With a belly full of surprise, a smile surged onto Gu Xi’s face. He cupped her hands toward Tong Shan and said, “Since Pavilion Master Tong has invited me so warmly, then it would be impolite of me to decline.”
Seeing that Gu Xi did not pursue the matter, Tong Shan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He then signaled Gu Xi and the others to follow him, turned around, and took the lead with the woman to the top floor.
“That’s it?”
“What the hell? Doesn’t Pavilion Master Tong always follow the rules? Why is today…”
“Are you stupid? Can’t you see that the other party’s background isn’t ordinary? If not, given Pavilion Master Tong’s character, he definitely won’t let these people off so easily.”
Following the departure of the group, only the people present had puzzled expressions. However, there were also quite a number of smart people among them. Many of them began to develop a strong interest in the identities of Gu Xi’s group.
“That’s right. They killed people from the Hall of Flowing Light, and Pavilion Master Tong publicly protected them in such an occasion. It seems that their backers are much more powerful than the Hall of Flowing Light.”
As soon as these words were said, everyone came to a sudden realization.
However, they soon fell into confusion again. In this Eastern Continent, the strength of the Hall of Flowing Light was extraordinary. If Gu Xi’s group’s background was much stronger than that of the Hall of Flowing Light, then what kind of power did they come from?
For a moment, everyone could not help but fall into a brainstorm. However, even if they racked their brains, they were still unable to guess their identities. And today’s incident had also spread throughout the entire Jingyang city at an extremely fast speed.
The top floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
The large room could be said to be decorated with gold and jade splendor. Everywhere they went, the decorations revealed the rich heritage of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. The group of people sat in the room, and the atmosphere was quiet.
“Today’s matter was indeed a little rude of me. I apologize to all of you here. Please don’t take this matter to heart,” Tong Shan personally filled the teacup for them and said in an apologetic tone.
Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, but did not choose to take the initiative to answer. Instead, his gaze fell on Qing Zhu, who was at the side. The latter nodded and took a sip of tea. She said indifferently, “This matter is not important. However, we haven’t found some spirit herbs that we need today. I’m afraid we’ll have to Trouble Pavilion Master Tong to help us collect some.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Zhu took out a piece of paper from her storage bag. All the materials needed to refine the Soul-casting Pill were written on it.
Tong Shan took the paper and gave it a quick glance. He did not look too surprised. Instead, he asked tentatively, “May I know where this young lady comes from…”
“There’s no need for Pavilion Master Tong to worry about that.”
Before Tong Shan could finish asking, Qing Zhu cut him off mercilessly.
Hearing this, Tong Shan was not the least bit displeased. Instead, he immediately ordered a clerk from the Ten Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to take the paper and start collecting the materials written on it. Not only that, he also specifically instructed that all the materials must be the best quality and not have the slightest flaw.
Initially, Gu Xi wanted to say these things were not important, but seeing Tong Shan’s serious look, he thought about it and decided to hold back his words. After all, it was all thanks to Qing Zhu that he was able to receive such treatment. He did not seem to have the right to speak either.
Not long after, the clerk from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion returned with a storage bag and handed it over to Tong Shan. After the latter checked it for himself and confirmed that it was correct, he respectfully handed it over to Qing Zhu.
As for Qing Zhu, she handed the storage bag over to Gu Xi. Gu Xi took a quick glance and could not help but feel a little surprised.
The quality and appearance of all the materials in the storage bag could be said to be the best of the best. The price of the same item in the outside world would probably double! Not only that, each of the materials in the storage bag had no less than five portions, enough to refine five Soul-casting Pills!
“I really have to trouble Pavilion Master Tong with these materials.” Gu Xi smiled and immediately took out a bag of spirit stones from his storage bag. “These spirit stones should be enough to buy these spirit herbs.”
Unexpectedly, Tong Shan hurriedly waved his hand and immediately said, “These things can be considered as a welcome gift to you. It’s not worth mentioning.”
Gu Xi was stunned. The total price of these materials was at least a few hundred thousand spirit stones. This was a considerable income for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion branch in Jingyang City.
