C2928 A Man Knows When to Yield
After killing Shopkeeper Mo, the Third Elder could be considered to be slightly relieved. He let out a long sigh and turned around to shout at the many onlookers present.
"Everyone, please listen to this old man. Today's matter is indeed my trading company's fault. I almost injured someone. I have already killed the culprit on the spot. Here, I guarantee to all the cultivators and fellow daoists that such a thing will definitely not happen again in the future. Please continue to trust the trading company. I'll be troubling you all."
With that, the Third Elder endured the pain from his left arm and deeply bowed to everyone.
In this way, those ear-piercing noises just now, as well as the voices of opposition... In an instant, a great deal of it dissipated. One had to understand that the Third Elder was a genuine Tribulation Transcender expert. To be able to make him personally apologize to everyone was already a tremendous amount of face.
It also revealed a problem from the side, and that was that Third Elder was worthy of being called an old fox. Having been in charge of the trading company for many years, for the sake of the trading company's interests and Whale Island's interests, he could totally pull down his own face. To him, this kind of shameful thing... It was not a big deal.
The most powerful thing about a true man was to know when to yield and when to stretch.
Chen Xiao saw all of this and thought about it thoughtfully. After the Third Elder pacified the rogue cultivators and the onlookers, he began to instruct the other servants to clean up the mess.
During the whole process, he dragged a heavily injured left arm which looked a little miserable.
It also seemed like he was deliberately trying to sell the mess, and the effect seemed to be very good at the moment. Thinking of this, Chen Xiao shook his head.
As expected of a businessman. No matter what he did, he was unwilling to suffer any losses.
However, Chen Xiao had wronged the Third Elder. It was not that he did not want to stop the bleeding and treat his injuries, but he really could not.
Initially, he thought that Chen Xiao had caused him a sword injury. Although it was extremely powerful, it was only slightly powerful. He only needed to use a little medicine to heal himself. He should be able to stabilize his injuries very quickly and not continue to deteriorate.
However, the Third Elder had clearly underestimated Chen Xiao's previous strike. The sword Qi that it carried was like a maggot that clung tightly to the wound on his left arm, unable to be dispersed.
Regardless of whether it was the Immortal Force in his body or the medicinal strength, as long as he made a slight contact with this strand of sword qi... It would instantly crumble and become useless. It caused the Third Elder to suffer an indescribable suffering.
He knew that the other party's sword qi was not simple, but he did not expect it to be so difficult to deal with.
He was currently trying his best to hold on. He didn't want to be too ugly, and he really couldn't bring himself to beg Chen Xiao to help him disperse the sword Qi. If he really did that, it would be extremely shameful.
Just now, under the witness of so many people, he had undoubtedly lost to his opponent. He had already lost all of his face. It was truly an ugly loss. In particular, he was the one who had instigated this duel that shouldn't have happened. However, he had lost. This was a slap in the face too quickly.
If he still begged the other party to help him disperse the sword energy at this moment, then the Third Elder really wouldn't have the face to face anyone.
One. The Tribulation Transcender Elder was able to achieve his current state, it could be said to be a failure to the extreme.
Thus, the Third Elder gritted his teeth fiercely and chose to continue to hold on.
"Third Elder, your arm is still bleeding. Do you want me to help you stop the bleeding?" At this time, a clever waiter hurriedly ran over and said with a concerned expression.
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder felt slightly better. However, his expression was still cold as he said, "Go, call the doctor over."
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." The attendant agreed and hurriedly ran away.
The Third Elder's expression was extremely unsightly, and he was pale to the point he was practically on the verge of losing all color. He was white like an onion, and he gave off a feeling as if he was on the verge of death. But even then, he still had to learn to endure.
After that, the Third Elder endured the intense pain and revealed a bitter smile with great difficulty. He said to Chen Xiao, "Please come into the room and have a chat. Our Trade Association will compensate you for your losses."
When Chen Xiao heard this, he was still very vigilant.
After all, this was Whale Island, the territory of the other party. If the other party used underhanded means, it would be hard to guard against it. So, should he go or not?
Chen Xiao concentrated his mind and thought carefully for a while, but he still decided to trust the other party. He wanted to see how the other party planned to deal with him in the end.
At this time, Chen Xiao was very clear that there were close to ten Tribulation Transcenders in the surrounding islands, including some hidden experts.
Besides Whale Island, the rest of these Tribulation Transcenders were probably rogue cultivators or other forces. They had nothing to do with Whale Island and Chen Xiao. They were merely watching a show.
However, just the Tribulation Transcenders from Whale Fish Island had their eyes fixed on him. Whether these people would really attack him or not, even Chen Xiao wasn't very confident.
However, judging from the looks of it, these people had chosen to restrain themselves instead of attacking him directly. If they wanted to attack him, it would be the best time to do so.
However, they didn't.
This speculation made Chen Xiao feel more at ease.
Then again, although the person he was dealing with was the Third Elder, it was rumoured that the two island masters who controlled Whale Fish Island had yet to show themselves, Chen Xiao wouldn't foolishly believe it. Such a big matter could only be decided by a mere Third Elder. He must have gotten the instructions of the two island lords in secret.
In this way, he could indirectly express the attitudes of the two island masters.
After thinking of this, Chen Xiao calmed down and said, "Alright."
"Please go ahead and do it." Hearing this, the Third Elder let out a sigh of relief.
Thus, the two of them came to the trading company's house and started a secret discussion. As for the cultivators who were watching from outside, upon seeing this, their interest waned and they dispersed. They did not continue to occupy this place. To Whale Island, this meant that the crisis had been temporarily resolved.
In the room, the two of them casually sat down. The Third Elder's expression was not very good. After sitting down, he hurriedly consumed a few pills. Judging from the smell emitted from the pills, it should be to replenish his Qi and blood.
After all, although the sword had injured his hand, it was bleeding.
After consuming a few pills, the Third Elder's expression finally became much better. With a bitter expression, he said: "I'm sorry for letting you see this, sir. This old man's skill is not as good as yours, so I'm willing to admit defeat. Sir, you are truly a young hero from ancient times. You seem to have such strength at such a young age. I haven't asked for your name, but where did your teacher come from? "
