Chapter 28 Arrogant
After Niu Yuanshan arrived at the dungeon, the rhythm was completely controlled by him.
Liu Tianfeng, being so old, how could he not understand his meaning?
The elder immediately understood.
“This Old Niu is really thoughtful,” he thought.
Since I injured the Sixth Elder’s people, I should at least show some gesture, shouldn’t I?
If there’s any blame, the consequences would be unimaginable!
In fact, even if Niu Yuanshan didn’t remind him now, Liu Tianfeng would have realized it later and brought gifts to apologize.
Because the Old Niu had used secret transmission of sound just now, only Liu Tianfeng could hear it. Therefore, his good son and good nephew were at a loss at the moment.
“Father is just letting him go?”
“Why does Uncle’s face look so bad?”
Niu Yuanshan was the junior most among the nine stewards, it shouldn’t be like this.
As a result, they soon heard Liu Tianfeng speak, “It’s all a misunderstanding, Nephew, it’s all a misunderstanding!”
The address immediately changed.
“All mistakes are on our side.”
“But the matters that happened today were too rushed, and this old man wasn’t prepared.”
“How about this, tomorrow this old man will prepare a generous gift and personally apologize to Nephew.”
“Nephew, what do you think?”
Where was the elder now, the previous majesty?
This directly stunned Liu Chengqi and Liu Chenggong.
Chu Huaixu, however, accepted it calmly.
I’m replacing the protagonist of the world!
Niu Yuanshan listened from the side and felt it was time for him to step in.
To be precise, his previous actions were just his setup.
This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is very shrewd!
“I have a suggestion,” a peacemaker’s smile appeared on his face.
“Steward Niu, please speak!” Liu Tianfeng cooperated perfectly, his tone quite hearty, as if he could agree to any condition.
“Steward Liu, why don’t you give each of them a piece of the [Jade Token Fragment] you previously obtained?” Niu Yuanshan revealed his true intentions.
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on the elder’s face instantly froze.
The atmosphere in the dungeon also changed in an instant.
“This…” Liu Tianfeng was clearly reluctant.
Liu Chengqi, upon hearing this, also became anxious on the side. “Father!”
This is my opportunity!
Whether my damaged Blazing Fire Spiritual Embryo can recover depends on this!
Liu Tianfeng, who had gained a son late in life, had always doted on his only son. But even so, he couldn’t help but glare at him at this moment.
“Shut up!” he roared.
The matter all started because of you. Who else could you have provoked, but the Sixth Elder’s people!
Liu Tianfeng felt ashamed at first, as he, a cultivator in the Six-Orifice Realm, couldn’t defeat someone who had only opened two orifices.
Now he only felt fortunate: fortunately, he couldn’t win.
At this moment, facing Niu Yuanshan’s outrageous demand, he hesitated for several seconds.
Chu Huaixu watched him silently, feeling that this old man gave off an impression of being cunning but also unable to calculate accurately.
Finally, Liu Tianfeng waved his hand and took out two jade fragments from the storage space of his steward token.
They looked like mutton-fat jade, with patterns carved on them, emitting a faint spiritual aura.
The Liu father and son could only console themselves: “There are ten pieces of the Jade Token Fragment in total. Giving them two pieces is still acceptable.”
The key point is not to anger the Sixth Elder!
In the final analysis, it was Niu Yuanshan’s deeply ingrained character.
“With the Old Niu’s honest nature, the more he demands, the more he is hinting to me that this brat has an extremely powerful background!”
Among the outer sect stewards, this diligent ox was the most capable in his business. He always did things thoroughly, and everyone found him reliable.
Liu Tianfeng waved his hand again, and the two jade token fragments floated towards Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang.
“Take them,” Niu Yuanshan said gently.
The two immediately put the jade token fragments into their storage tokens.
Instantly, a voice only he could hear echoed in Chu Huaixu’s ears.
“[Ding! You have successfully completed the mission – Revenge from Liu Chengqi.]”
“[You have successfully obtained 1000 experience points.]”
“[Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the hidden dungeon – Pill King’s Token!]”
In the dungeon, Chu Huaixu was overjoyed.
Everything had gone too smoothly.
The Grade A mission was successfully completed, and with the help of Niu Yuanshan, a knowledgeable party, the hidden dungeon was successfully unlocked.
But for a normal beginner player, this was basically an impossible mission, so Grade A was reasonable.
These three despicable scoundrels of the Liu family can be considered the evil great bosses of the novice village.
If Chu Huaixu wasn’t carrying the protagonist’s halo of Xu Ziqing, with only Niu Yuanshan alone, at most he could complete the mission, and there might be a series of troubles afterward!
“Is this the pleasure of being the protagonist of the world?” Chu Huaixu thought to himself.
He personally understood the recently acquired jade token fragments as keys to unlock the dungeon.
“[Pill King’s Token]? I haven’t seen this hidden dungeon on the game forums.”
“Then it must be from before the game’s open beta.”
However, he had heard of the Pill King.
In the path of alchemy, the Dao Ancestor was undoubtedly the greatest achiever.
The Dao Ancestor created the Meridian-Opening Pill, ushering in an era of cultivation!
Next was the Pill King!
Chu Huaixu remembered the sensation when the [Pill King’s Secret Realm] appeared during his time playing [The Borrowed Sword].
Regarding the Pill King’s inheritance, the entire Profound Yellow Realm was in an uproar, and major player guilds were eager to get a piece of the pie.
“But will this [Pill King’s Token] and [Pill King’s Secret Realm] have any connection?” he wondered.
He could not confirm this for the time being.
A hidden dungeon in the novice village should not have such a high specification.
Today’s trip was very rewarding.
Niu Yuanshan turned to Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang and asked, “Are you two satisfied with this outcome?”
Liu Tianfeng felt even more that Old Niu was sensible. This was equivalent to asking them if they would complain to the Sixth Elder, and whether this misunderstanding could be put to an end.
The elder was now extremely distressed, but he couldn’t easily ask these questions, while Niu Yuanshan was in the perfect position to do so.
After all, they had wanted Chu Huaixu’s life just now!
If the matter was not handled well, there would be a feud with the Sixth Elder.
Han Shuangjiang, upon hearing this, did not speak but looked at Chu Huaixu.
It was as if his opinion was her opinion.
Chu Huaixu took a few steps forward and walked in front of the three Liu family members.
“Steward, junior has one more question to ask,” he said, still polite, cupping his fists in a salute.
From beginning to end, he was perfectly polite.
Liu Tianfeng dared not be arrogant now. Seeing his demeanor, he felt relieved and had a stepping stone for himself. He quickly reached out, intending to lightly support Chu Huaixu, who was cupping his fists.
However, just as he reached out, Chu Huaixu moved.
Everything happened extremely suddenly, so suddenly that he didn’t even have time to react.
A cultivator in the third realm, with spiritual energy circulating around his body and keen senses, found it difficult to be ambushed successfully; instinct would make him react.
But the problem was, Chu Huaixu wasn’t attacking him.
By the time Liu Tianfeng reacted, a rock-solid spiritual power blocked him.
It was Niu Yuanshan!
Chu Huaixu struck Liu Chengqi’s chest with a palm, similar to what happened in the courtyard today.
Due to his perfect body control, his palm landed precisely on the same spot.
The ribs that had just been reconnected with spiritual medicine instantly snapped with a ‘crack’!
How dare you connect them after I explicitly forbid it!
–[Roaming Dragons of the Eight Desolations]!
Liu Chengqi immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream. It was a familiar scene happening for the second time in one day, and the sharp pain from the same spot made him almost faint!
After doing all this, Chu Huaixu slowly got up and withdrew his palm.
This upright young man was half a head taller than Liu Tianfeng.
He stared directly into the elder’s eyes and said loudly:
“Disciple asked the steward just now which rule I broke.”
“Please, Steward Liu, say it again!”
“Disciple will listen respectfully!”
