Chapter 917: Forced Generosity
“Who exactly are you?” If Wei Zhixuan didn’t not seem familiar, Yue Pingjian would have thrown him out.
“My name is Wei Zhixuan, and I’m from Wu Cang City.” Seeing Yue Pingjian’s bewildered expression, Wei Zhixuan hurriedly spoke.
“Oh, Wu Cang City’s Wei family, I remember now. The Jade Peak Sect belongs to your family, right?” Yue Pingjian finally remembered who this person was, but he was just a distant relative and supposedly a little wealthy.
“Second little cousin, you finally remembered.” Wei Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing that Yue Pingjian still remembered Jade Peak Sect, he rejoiced slightly.
“What are you doing here, so far away from Wu Cang City?” Yue Pingjian asked condescendingly, without paying attention to this so-called elder cousin.
“I heard that Second Uncle wanted to celebrate a double happiness occasion, so this is a gift prepared to honor my second uncle.” Wei Zhixuan glanced at his subordinates, and they quickly brought forward the gifts.
“Ah, I see. My father is currently cultivating, so I shall accept the gifts on his behalf. You should return first.” Upon hearing that it was another gift, Wei Zhixuan instantly became someone unpleasant in Yue Pingjian’s eyes. He then waved his hand and issued an order to get rid of the guests.
Wei Zhixuan’s eyes widened in distress. He had spent substantial amounts of money preparing these gifts in order to ask Yue Qingjie to help him, but he had been asked to return by Yue Pingjian before he could even see him. Of course he couldn’t accept it!
Several of his subordinates were also full of doubts. They had heard Wei Zhixuan boast about how good he was with the Flowing Clouds Sect, but after so much trouble, they weren’t even taking him seriously. They were not even interested in inviting him over to the banquet, and brushed him off after receiving the gifts.
“Second younger cousin, actually, besides celebrating my second uncle’s birthday, I actually wanted to ask him for help.” Wei Zhixuan realized that he had made a mistake and had only given Yue Qingjie a gift. He had forgotten that after Yue Qingjie, in the Yue family, Yue Pingjian would have the highest authority. Thus, he painfully took out a Blue Jade Crystal and handed it over. It was originally reserved for his own cultivation, but in order to honor Yue Pingjian, he had to be generous.
Yue Pingjian opened the bag and saw that it was Blue Jade Crystal. Although it was not as good as an Ink Jade Crystal or a Purple Jade Crystal, it was still quite good. Thinking that Wei Zhixuan was somewhat sensible, he didn’t immediately send him off.
“Just leave the matter to me, don’t bother my father. He has been busy lately, and only cares about his cultivation. Why would he care about your matter? If it’s a trivial matter, I will help you solve it,” Yue Pingjian said slowly as he put the Blue Jade Crystal away.
“This is the matter: do you know that there is a former site of the Golden Pill Sect nearby Wu Cang City?” Wei Zhixuan saw the change in his att.i.tude and was relieved. It was really true that money could even chase away ghosts.
“You mean the Golden Pill Sect that was one of the five major sects in the past? Wasn’t it wiped out over a thousand years ago?” Yue Pingjian asked in confusion.
“Yes, but didn’t a few disciples of the Golden Pill Sect escape from the Sacred Realm of Sects when the Golden Pill Sect was destroyed? Recently, one of their lines—the Su family—has returned and is rebuilding the sect,” Wei Zhixuan said seriously.
“What does it have to do with you? Anyway, there are countless sects in the Sacred Realm of Sects; if they want to rebuild it, let them rebuild it,” Yue Pingjian said disapprovingly.
“If they want to establish the sect, of course it’s none of my business, but this Su family is too arrogant!” Wei Zhixuan said angrily.
