Upon hearing these words, Feng Chi's eyes sparkled with excitent—this was the Demon Path she had always imagined, strong in the face of power.
The group from the Mingshan Sect, upon hearing this, cast aside the slight unease in their hearts at that mont. Their spirits unified remarkably, and fear was nowhere to be found.
However, Lei Ying's expression changed thrice.
A Secret Technique to find the Divine Fire? For certain people, its value is imnse—he couldn't possibly fail to comprehend that. So dare to oppose even a figure like Qian She; killing his family wouldn't be a noteworthy issue, right?
He looked at Shi Chun with a murderous intent in his eyes, for he truly felt a threat.
For a small person to pose a threat to him, to threaten his family's lives, was sothing he hadn't foreseen.
If he had foreseen it, even a slight concern would have made him hesitant when he acted earlier.
The reason for his reckless behavior was simply because he believed the opponent posed no threat to him.
Yet, he dared not act impulsively, still waiting for Gong Shaoci to make a decision.
A standoff, silent.
People from Young Master Nan's side quietly retreated to one side, took out a Mother-child Talisman, and urgently communicated with Young Master Nan's side.
After staring at Shi Chun for a while, Gong Shaoci suddenly spoke, "Apologize!"
Lei Ying turned his head to look at him, suspicious, uncertain of who he was talking about.
Gong Shaoci's eyes fixed on him, coldly saying, "I told you to apologize; didn't you hear?"
Lei Ying was stunned, although he was still sowhat confused, he dared not hesitate because he knew this master well. To publicly embarrass him, to ruin his composure, was the greatest mistake one could make.
He imdiately turned to Shi Chun, saying, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Shi Chun promptly turned to his side, reached behind Wu Jinliang, grabbed Duan Xiangi's arm, pulled her out, pointing to her tearful, swollen face, "Not to , to her!"
Without hesitation, Lei Ying directly corrected himself, "Miss Duan Xiangi, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Though they had never t, being able to directly na Duan Xiangi was a veiled threat in itself.
Was his apology sincere? Shi Chun did not pursue it further; the opposing side had already lowered themselves, he knew this was the best result at present. If they took it too seriously, their side wouldn't have the capacity to wrap things up. He imdiately commanded his people, "Why are you still blocking the way? Let them pass."
Thus, the group from the Mingshan Sect quickly made way.
Gong Shaoci's group had no intention of staying; they left directly. However, as they passed by Shi Chun, Gong Shaoci paused slightly, glanced sideways, saying, "You benefited from the Miao family today."
Shi Chun nodded slightly, agreeing straightforwardly, "I know."
He was well aware that his threat ant little to Gong Shaoci; it could scare Lei Ying, but not Gong Shaoci.
He also knew Gong Shaoci's companions were all experts, far superior to the Cultivation Realm of disciples from various factions within the Divine Fire Domain. Any one of them could easily cause trouble for them.
His assurance in standing firm was that the opponent had to consider the Miao family's reputation, and their interest in the 'Desolate Broken Blade.'
If push ca to shove, he could only rely on his Magical Treasures for a full-fledged fight.
He believed the Demon Path wouldn't sit idly by before acquiring the 'Desolate Broken Blade.'
Without saying more, Gong Shaoci, with a cold face, led his n away.
Many present felt relieved.
After confirming that they had left, Shi Chun turned his head to glance at Wu Jinliang, saying nothing, set aside his equipnt and returned to his room.
A crowd followed him inside, including Xiang Laner, who had previously been furious over having her pants pulled down, disregarding past grievances to willingly enter Shi Chun's room.
Having so many people enter at once made the room quite crowded.
Shi Chun slowly sat down, remaining silent.
The crowd parted, and Wu Jinliang and Duan Xiangi ca in last.
Duan Xiangi, with a swollen face, walked directly to Shi Chun, wiping her tears and sobbing apologies, "Master, I'm sorry, I caused trouble."
Shi Chun gave her a smile, gently comforting, "It's alright, you did nothing wrong, it's unrelated to you. Go rest for now. Jinliang, take her to rest, tell her not to worry too much." He then gestured to everyone, "Why are you all crowding here? Disperse."
So the group gradually left, except for Xiang Laner and Feng Chi.
Not only did they stay, Feng Chi even closed the door promptly after everyone else departed.
Shi Chun's gaze landed on Xiang Laner again, scrutinizing as if with venomous eyes, making Xiang Laner uncomfortable, as if she had swallowed a fly.
After listening at the door for external movents, Feng Chi quickly ca to Shi Chun, asking quietly, "Why were you smiling when you arrived, and suddenly got so angry? What's going on?"
Shi Chun: "They ca to buy the 'Desolate Broken Blade' from , but I didn't sell."
"What?" The two won exclaid in shock.
Xiang Laner, disregarding the previous dispute, asked eagerly, "Why did he want to buy that?"
"How would I know." Shi Chun replied, walking to the window to probe outside, then returned, speaking quietly, "He offered twenty billion, but I refused. I told him I already sold it for fifty billion, then he wanted to divulge the buyer's identity, which I refused again. He got angry because I didn't give him face, and that's how it went."
The two won seed thoughtful, realizing the situation.
Shi Chun continued, "He very likely wants to investigate who the buyer is, quickly get in contact, ensure that those sent for the transaction are prepared with visible funds and sources traceable. Then, I'll be able to admit I can't afford to offend the Gong family, and proactively apologize. anwhile, revealing the buyer to them saves you the trouble, allowing those above to solve the buyer before he uncovers it, which should be your skill?"
