259 It’s Not That Simple
Ye Xuan’s eyes drooped slightly, making it impossible to see his expression. If it was a divine-grade cultivation technique, he was actually impressed. It could be seen that the Dao Seeking Sect had indeed put in a lot of money.
“Since you’re so sincere and you’ve already said so much, it’d be a bit ungrateful of me to refuse.”
“Then Elder Ye, you mean you agree to help us?”
Seeing that Ye Xuan had finally relented, the heavy weight was finally lifted from the hearts of the Dao Seeking Sect people. However, Ye Xuan’s words suddenly changed.
“However, I’m not confident in fully handling this matter. I’ll disclaim first. If I can’t save them, please don’t blame me.”
The people of the Dao Seeking Sect shook their heads like rattle-drums. They waved their hands and said, “As long as Elder Ye is willing to help.”
After they walked out, their expressions didn’t relax. The Dao Seeking Sect had paid a lot for this trip. Just the treasures they offered to Ye Xuan were worth a lot.
Not to mention, they had to lower their proud heads to beg Ye Xuan, which was the most intolerable thing for them. These people had always been high and mighty, and usually only others would ask them for help. They had never been so humble.
“Sect master, do you think that Ye Xuan can handle this?”
“This is the only choice we have now. We have to give it a try. This kid is a little strange. He was able to escape unscathed and sign a treaty with the demonic beasts. Maybe he really has a way.”
The people of the Dao Seeking Sect were all reluctant, “That kid really took so many of our priceless treasures.
After they walked out, the expressions on these people’s faces were completely devoid of the kindness they had shown to Ye Xuan. They returned to their previous arrogance. After all, this was their true colors, and what they had showed just now was just a temporary measure.
“Sect master, are we really going to give that divine-grade cultivation technique to Ye Xuan? Even if this kid helps us, it’s hard to guarantee that he won’t go against us in the future. Moreover, he’s so close to the people of the Sword Sect. If we wait for him to grow stronger, wouldn’t we be cultivating a potential trouble?”
Regarding the fact that they possessed a divine-grade cultivation technique, the Dao Seeking Sect was very covert. Only the sect master and a few elders with high status knew about it. Even so, the elders didn’t know about the contents. The only one who was familiar with it was the sect master.
The sect master of the Dao Seeking Sect chuckled coldly, “Do you think that divine-grade techniques are so easy to learn?”
His gaze was meaningful, with a bit of mystery and strangeness. When the others saw this, they immediately felt relieved and complimented, “Sect master is wise.”
The Dao Seeking Sect wasn’t the first sect to come. Other than them, there were a few more groups of people who came shamelessly to ask Ye Xuan for help.
Everyone had similar thoughts. Since Ye Xuan was able to escape from Changping back then, even under the siege of demonic beasts, then he might also be able to do something this time.
In order to invite someone to help, they naturally had to prepare a big gift. This time, it could be said that Ye Xuan’s hands were numb from receiving gifts.
After everyone had left, even He Jiantian was envious when he saw the gifts piled up like a small mountain.
Shen Changling rushed over as soon as he received the news.
“Elder Ye, you want to go to Changping again?”
No one knew the relationship between Ye Xuan and Qian Yuan better than Shen Changling. If Ye Xuan went to Changping to save people, it would be a matter of minutes without any obstacles.
Ye Xuan nodded. “Of course. After all, they’ve already asked me to help them, so I can only reluctantly make this trip.”
His original intention was just to let Qian Yuan detain those people and make these forces bleed a little. He didn’t really want to take their lives.
Looking at the mountain of gifts next to Ye Xuan, Shen Changling knew that Ye Xuan definitely agreed not because he was pressured by those sects, but because of these magic treasures.
If he didn’t want to go, no one could force Ye Xuan.
���This trip is a great harvest for Elder Ye.”
Ye Xuan clearly understood what Shen Changling meant, but He Jiantian was confused. However, he didn’t pay much attention to it because he remembered that they were close.
“Since Elder Ye has thought it through, then I won’t disturb you any longer.”
After He Jiantian left, Shen Changling could finally speak freely.
“These people have finally met with obstacles and know that demonic beasts are not so easy to deal with. They were so arrogant before, but in the end, they have to come to beg people with their tails between their legs.”
“I want to laugh when I think about how they acted back then and how they are begging people everywhere right now. Why can’t these people understand?”
Shen Changling started speaking. In fact, he wished that those people would stay in Changping and never return, but he also knew that if that was the case, Jingdu would be in chaos.
“What I’m worried about now is that after they return, they still won’t let go of Changping.”
Ye Xuan also agreed with him. “In the end, it’s all because of greed. But now that they know how powerful their opponent is, I think they won’t have any ideas about Changping in the future.”
These people should have learned their lesson and restrained themselves.
In fact, what surprised Shen Changling the most was that Ye Xuan had agreed to help.
“Elder Ye is really broad-minded. If it were me, I’d definitely make them suffer.”
However, Ye Xuan smiled mysteriously. “You probably can’t imagine what Qian Yuan will ask those people to do. I’m afraid they’ll remember it for the rest of their lives.”
Shen Changling was curious and eager to know, but Ye Xuan kept him in suspense and wouldn’t say anything.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
