Chapter 1327 – That Thing
Although Qin Yu did not know much about the Saint circle, he had heard about the affluence of the East Sea Palace. It was said that they were one of the richest amongst the Saint circle.
In the past, he only heard rumors. But when the Dragon Saint opened the treasury, Qin Yu was shocked. The rumors did not do it justice.
He finally knew what it meant to have so many jewels it was blinding…or having so many jewels that they piled into mountains…he had seen it now!
But now that he had reached a different realm, he was merely startled for a while before he regained his composure. He did not embarra.s.s himself.
The Spring Master looked at Qin Yu. He waved his hand nonchalantly, “Go and choose. Don’t disappoint Dragon Saint’s good intentions.”
He glanced at the Dragon Saint, who was smiling but had sorrow s.h.i.+ning through his eyes. The Dragon Saint was gritting his teeth and Qin Yu felt that the Spring Master spoke too well. He could clearly see a vein pulsing in the Dragon Saint’s head as if it was about to pop.
“Master, I understand.” Qin Yu greeted with his hands together. He turned and walked into the treasury.
He really understood. He could sense the hidden meaning in the Spring Master’s eyes.
A treasury was called a treasury because it contained numerous treasures. But when it came to treasures, if they could be collected in piles, it meant that they were not that valuable.
Because good treasures were always rare and it was difficult to find more than one or two. How could he easily collect hundreds or thousands of them?
Even if he could not take them, it allowed him to see more of the world. After all, not many people in this world had the chance to see so many treasures piled like this.
At the start, Qin Yu’s emotions were stable. However, the more he looked, the drier his mouth got and the greater the s.h.i.+ft in his heart.
He could not help it, there were too many good things. Moreover, with Qin Yu’s current perspective, he felt that all of these were precious. He could raise his cultivation, improve his physical body, lengthen his vitality…all sorts of benefits.
Qin Yu could not help but think how great it would be to rob the East Palace’s treasury!
However, this was only a thought and he did not dare to really do it. This would force the Dragon Saint to hunt him down. The Dragon Saint’s eyes were currently locked on him.
That’s right. The Dragon Saint was staring at Qin Yu. But he was not worried that Qin Yu would do anything ‘offensive’. In his mind, he was thinking, “Take it, hurry and take it. Take that box at the side. The treasure in there has an aura so thick, it is leaking out. Are you blind!
“Hurry! Do you see the wooden stump beside it? It looks ordinary but it actually comes from ancient times. It is an extremely rare treasure. In the past, a True Saint actually fought with me for this. I only managed to win it after suffering and throwing up some blood. Hurry and pick that one!
“Why aren’t you picking anything. Hurry and pick something. Qin Yu, you brat. You are going overboard. I have so many treasures in my East Palace treasury, how can you not like any! Hurry, hurry up!”
He was extremely anxious!
Since there were knives on both sides, if Qin Yu could decide sooner, it would put him at ease. If not, he would just be hanging neither here nor there, and the Dragon Saint would feel too uneasy. Especially when he saw the emotionless side profile of the Spring Master. He felt as if this shameless old thief was holding in an especially smelly fart.
Finally, after Qin Yu walked an entire round through the treasury, he took a deep breath and tried his best to hide the unwillingness in him. He walked out and waved his hand, “Master, Dragon Saint’s treasury indeed has a lot of treasures. However, there is nothing that I really lack.”
He thought about it before looking hesitant, “Master, how about you point out what I should take?”
Rotten!
As the Dragon Saint heard Qin Yu say this, his heart clenched and an extremely bad feeling rose in him.
Alas, a pleased smile appeared subtly on the Spring Master’s face.
It was as if he was praising his disciple!
d.a.m.n it, what was this pair trying to do? Don’t forget that this is the East Sea. If you really want to trigger me, don’t think of having it easy.
The Spring Master glanced at the Dragon Saint, who was hiding his fury and looking gloomy. His lips curled as he said nonchalantly, “Qin Yu, with your strength now, you are not beneath me. So, I should not say much as master and disciple. But since you asked me, I shall try my best.”
He paused before a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. The Spring Master tapped his forehead, “Oh. Qin Yu you are physically strong and have quite a few moves. However, you lack an opportunistic weapon that can help you kill enemies.”
The Dragon Saint laughed, “I have many in my treasury. And if you don’t like any of these, I have a few more in my palace. I will instruct people to bring them for you to choose from.”
He clapped, “Men…”
The Spring Master spoke, “There is no need to go to the trouble. I recall that there is something in the East Sea that is very suitable for Qin Yu.”
The Dragon Saint’s smile froze and he paled. He stared at the Spring Master, “Don’t tell me, it is that thing!”
The way he spoke changed as his tone was filled with ferocity. It was obvious that the Dragon Saint was really angry now.
The Spring Master remained calm as if he did not care, “So what? You are the one who said you wanted to thank Qin Yu. I am not forcing you!”
The Dragon Saint wanted to explode. How dare you say this? Are you shameless? Do you still want your reputation?!
Fall out. He had to fall out with them today. He had to fight and never back down.
That was not possible. There was no hope!
“No way!” With two words, he ended the discussion.
The Spring Master narrowed his eyes, “Dragon Saint, you had better think carefully before falling out with us. Back then, I was able to completely destroy you. If I join hands with Qin Yu today…are you feeling sad that Black Turtle is gone and you want to follow him?”
He was literally putting a knife to the Dragon Saint’s throat. A clear threat! If he fell out with them, he would get beaten up, by the both of them. Who cares about reputation? I will definitely do as I say.
The Dragon Saint gritted his teeth and growled, “Don’t forget what you promised me back then. You said that you will never covet that thing. Are you trying to go back on your words?”
The Spring Master sneered, “Qin Yu is the one who wants to try it, not me. What has this got to do with my promise?”
With one sentence, he cleared the air and clarified his intention.
The Dragon Saint felt like crying. He knew that the Spring Master was right. Even though he had the advantage of the East Sea, if the Spring Master joined hands with Qin Yu, it was impossible for him to win.
But that thing…no, he could not agree. He could never agree!
The Spring Master noticed the Dragon Saint’s emotions and frowned, “Although there are some things that are better left unsaid, we both know what kind of role you played with Qin Yu back at the Red Peak Straits.
“Of course, you can say that your actions did not have a severe impact, but we both know that things are not that simple. Qin Yu should get sufficient compensation and this is not asking for too much. If you are still not clear, then don’t blame us for using force!”
