Chapter 383: Chapter 18: Gifting a Mansion
“Ouyang, Elder Ouyang Hai?”
Upon hearing the name Yue Longxiao, Lai Chengyi felt indifferent, but his whole body shuddered and his pupils constricted sharply as he heard the latter name.
The name Ouyang Hai wasn’t famous across the mainland, and many people hadn’t heard of it; however, as the leader of one of Tianli City’s major Subordinate Halls, it was a name he was all too familiar with.
An authentic reclusive expert who preferred not to leave his seclusion.
Though known as an Elder, he was actually the master of many Elders. In terms of seniority, even Master Bai Xiaosheng had to show respect and address him as senior brother.
Not to mention others, the Ancient Method Elder who had just contested in magic with the Blue Cloud Venerable was his direct disciple.
...
If a disciple could contend with a Buddhist Sect expert without distinction, one can imagine the strength and status of this master.
In an instant, Lai Chengyi’s gaze filled with solemnity.
Tianli City, located at the core of the Central Region, had nine Subordinate Halls from the Wanxiang Sect, and being the Manager of any one of these was a position of significant status and strength.
That was why he was aware of Elder Ouyang’s temper and personality. Usually remaining within the Sea of Moment at the Wanxiang Sect’s headquarters, indifferent to many things, now he’d personally gifted a Sky Blue Card, who was this guy really, and what background did he have?
“Master Lai... do you not recognize him? This Ouyang Hai, a somewhat portly old man, squints when he smiles, looks a bit sleazy...”
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Zhang Xuan thought he didn’t recognize him, recalled his appearance, and quickly explained.
“Enough, enough...”
Lai Chengyi’s temples throbbing: “I know Elder Ouyang, and I confirm that this Sky Blue Card is genuine!”
Calling Elder Ouyang sleazy... He didn’t think he was brave enough.
“Actually... it doesn’t matter about the money. With this Wanxiang Card, Zhang gongzi is our highest-grade guest of the Wanxiang Sect. It’s not just about providing you a residence, but even gifting it is not an issue!”
Fearing that the other party would continue, Lai Chengyi quickly spoke up.
“Gifting it to me?” Zhang Xuan was stunned.
This was a residence worth 80,000 high-tier spirit stones, just like that?
Is this card really that powerful?
“Indeed!” Lai Chengyi nodded and glanced towards the elder not far away: “Elder Wu, please arrange it as I just mentioned, transfer the ownership of the residence directly to Zhang gongzi.”
Seeing him accepting the token, Lai Chengyi smiled as he stood up.
“There’s no need for the leader to bother...” Zhang Xuan quickly refused.
The other’s cultivation was too profound, he couldn’t see through it; it was better to keep contact to a minimum for now, even if it was a kind gesture.
“Very well!”
Seeing his sincere words, Lai Chengyi knew being too anxious wasn’t good, nodded immediately, and glanced at Su Mingchen not far away.
“Captain Su, you’re here just in time, please take Zhang gongzi there for me!”
“I...”
Su Mingchen’s face turned a shade of red and white, suddenly, his knees softened and he knelt in front of Zhang Xuan, continuously kowtowing.
“Zhang gongzi, it was I who was blind and offended you. Here are the 2000 high-tier spirit stones, now returning them to you... Please, have mercy and forgive this minor’s offenses, do not hold it against me!”
Previously he had mocked the other for not recognizing what was good for him, but seeing the Master’s attitude now, how could he not understand the extremely high status of the other party?
The master had even actively offered Merit Points, whereas he had used the opportunity to extort...
The more he thought, the more afraid he became, now hearing the master’s order to escort the person, he couldn’t withstand it, took out the illicitly gained 2000 high-tier spirit stones.
To confess proactively might still leave some leeway; to deliberately hide it or if he didn’t speak until this Zhang gongzi revealed it, he would be close to death.
“What’s going on?”
Lai Chengyi frowned.
“It’s like this...”
Su Mingchen dared not conceal the truth, and quickly narrated the recent events.
“Su Mingchen, you’ve got some nerve!”
Lai Chengyi’s face darkened.
Elder Ouyang Hai famously detested evil, and this person had complicated and extensive connections with him; I’ve gone to great lengths to gain favor, and now you’ve set us back to square one...
If this news reaches Elder Ouyang’s ears, wouldn’t it suggest our entire Subordinate Hall is filled with greedy, extortionate scoundrels?
Thinking this, the Master Lai Chengyi was thoroughly enraged.
