C4557 I will Double the Price!
"Senior, this is the head of the Yuan Family, Yuan Bao. I am here to pay my respects."
Chen Xiao raised his head and glanced at Yuan Bao, then looked away with a lack of interest. "Yuan Bao? This name is not bad."
Yuan Bao saw that the topic had been raised, and quickly said, "This name was given by my father. It means wealth, happiness, and peace."
Chen Xiao did not mind and asked again, "What is your relationship with Yuan Hong Chou?"
"It is my father. It's just that my father died in the hands of a villain. Until now, I can't find the real culprit. Sigh."
Yuan Bao sighed helplessly.
This was natural. The one who did it was the Dark Shrine. Their background was mysterious, and their power was extremely great. How could they easily reveal themselves? Once they succeeded, they would immediately flee thousands of miles away and hide in the darkness.
The unknown was the most terrifying.
Chen Xiao changed the topic and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. If there's nothing else, then leave."
"Eh …"
Yuan Bao was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Zuo Zhao and the others who were on Chen Xiao's left and right, as well as the Third Prince. His meaning was very clear.
Chen Xiao laughed, "Heh, there are quite a few rules. You guys can leave first."
"Yes, captain."
"Got it, captain."
Zuo Zhao and the others responded. Gu Feng also quickly returned and stood aside to watch coldly.
When the Third Prince saw this, since he couldn't stop them, he decided to help them. He silently retreated.
At the same time, he quickly sent a voice transmission to Chen Xiao and said, "Brother Chen Xiao, no matter what conditions he offers, I'll double it."
"..." Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This Third Prince really thought highly of him.
He smiled at the Origin Treasure and casually set up a barrier. It was a ten-meter radius, and it enveloped the two of them. They began to secretly talk in front of everyone.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange.
The Origin Treasure's expression was a little awkward. Although there was a barrier, the outside world did not know what the two of them were talking about, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
It could be seen that the other party's cold attitude and indifferent attitude made him feel dejected.
It was also true that he was only a mere peak Tribulation Transcender. Compared to this genuine Immortal Longevity Realm, he was far inferior. As for status and strength, they could not be compared.
If the other party was able to give him a chance to speak, it was already a great honor.
"Speak." Chen Xiao smacked his lips and said casually.
"I want to invite Senior to my clan as a guest elder. I'm willing to offer..."
Before the Origin Treasure could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Xiao, and he was not polite at all.
When he heard this, he knew what the other party's plan was. It was nothing more than promising him a great deal of benefits and inviting him to be a guest elder to protect the Yuan Clan and protect him from the hands of his enemies.
If it was in the past, he might have considered it for the sake of the other party's offer, but now, he would not.
Even if the Yuan Clan was rich, how could it compare to the Third Prince and the mother clan of the Third Prince, the Song Clan? The two of them added up were even more than the Yuan Clan.
Also, Chen Xiao was very nostalgic.
"This..." Yuan Bao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he did not dare to say anything.
Chen Xiao's face was cold as he said, "If you only have this goal, you can leave."
He rejected it very straightforwardly, not giving the other party any leeway.
Seeing that, Yuan Bao's face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what benefits Third Brother has given you, but I am willing to double the price."
"Double the price?"
Chen Xiao felt that these words were very familiar. Right, the Third Prince had said the same thing just now. He did not feel that these words had any sincerity, but he really wanted to laugh, but he held back.
"Yes, double the price." Yuan Bao's spirit was refreshed, thinking that there was hope.
Unfortunately, he was still disappointed.
Chen Xiao spread out his hands and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested."
He rejected it immediately, not giving any extra hope.
"But..."
Yuan Bao was extremely dejected. Seeing Chen Xiao's ice-cold expression, he knew that if he spoke any more, he would probably anger this hidden expert, so he could only give up.
He sighed and said, "Yes, I understand what Senior means. If Senior changes your mind, you can come and find me at any time."
"Heh." Chen Xiao smiled without denying it. He waved his hand and removed the barrier.
Yuan Bao turned around with a gloomy expression. He shook his head and said to the Third Prince, “Looks like I’m not welcome here. I’ll have to leave first, Third Highness.”
The Third Prince wore a look of surprise and said in a loud voice, “Ah, Uncle Yuan Bao, you shouldn’t have stayed for a while longer. You came and left in such a hurry. Aren’t you a little too anxious?”
These words were obviously meant to ridicule the Third Prince. The Third Prince was well aware that if Yuan Bao stayed, not only would he be of no use, he would only make things worse.
He might as well leave as soon as possible.
Yuan Bao shook his head and did not say anything else. He had been rejected in front of so many people. He had almost become a laughingstock. If he stayed any longer, he would lose all his face. It would be better to leave as soon as possible.
“Third Highness, farewell.”
The Third Prince did not say anything else. He was almost laughing out loud in his heart. He had to pretend on the surface. It was very uncomfortable.
“Uncle Yuan Bao, I won’t be sending you off. Have a safe journey.”
Hearing this, Yuan Bao immediately sped up. He was afraid that the Third Prince would do something else. The gazes of the cultivators around him were particularly hot and painful to him.
“Tsk, is this the Patriarch of the Yuan Clan? I think he’s nothing more than this.”
“That’s right. He was sent away by Senior Blood Rogue in just a few words. He’s just a mere peak-stage Tribulation Transcender. I’ve seen too many of them.”
“Only Senior Blood Rogue has the courage to do so. We are far from being able to match up to him. I admire him to the extreme.”
After a short while, Yuan Bao stepped out of the City Lord’s Hall. Immediately, several cultivators dressed in black approached him.
“Greetings, Patriarch.”
“Greetings, Patriarch.”
Yuan Bao’s face was gloomy as he shouted in a low voice, “Have you found out anything about this Blood Rogue’s identity?”
“This… hasn’t been done yet. Patriarch, please punish him.”
The few of them looked at each other and replied with their heads lowered.
Yuan Bao was furious. He slapped someone on the face, and immediately, his face became red and swollen like a monkey’s butt.
“A bunch of good-for-nothings. Why did I raise you all? You can’t even handle such a small matter.”
The few of them hurriedly knelt on the ground and trembled. They didn’t dare to say anything.
Yuan Bao let out a long breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said, “Continue to investigate. If there isn’t any clue, then you all don’t need to come back.”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
Within the hall, the Third Prince’s spiritual will probed and saw this scene. His face was filled with contempt, and he looked down on Yuan Bao.
“Heh, what kind of ability is it to get angry at your subordinates? However, you really dare to seek death. You want to investigate his identity. Tsk tsk, should I remind you or not? Sigh, who asked me to be kind and not be able to see this?”
“Pass down my order. Do these people. Make sure they are clean and don’t leave any evidence behind.”
The Third Prince secretly ordered.
"Yes."
