Chapter 405: This Little Girl Is Suspicious
Utterly heartless? Punished by the heavens?
Du Guyi wished he could strangle Yun Chujiu to death and was about to make a move out of humiliation.
Yun Chujiu hid behind Master Xuanyuan and said, “d.a.m.n, I was only guessing. Who knew I would guessed it right. So now that I did, you want to murder me just to silence me?! Besides, I’m so young, my words should not bring meaning. Don’t you know? You’re really narrow-minded! You even said that you were open-minded before this! HMPH!”
Master Xuanyuan protected Yun Chujiu behind him. However, he reprimanded her, “Yun Chujiu! How can you speak like that? As the sect leader of a sect, how could sect leader Du lower himself to your level?! Sect leader Du, you’re not really going to take this little girl seriously, are you? Furthermore, there’s a problem with your sect’s earth fire. Aren’t you going to give the three sects an explanation?”
Fairy Yu Mei and Daoist Zhenyi were shocked. There was really something wrong with Heavenly Gates Sect’s earth fire? How could it be so coincidental? They had just signed a contract with Spirit Radiance Sect with a compensation agreement when something went amiss with their earth fire?
This matter definitely had something to do with the Spirit Radiance Sect, but how did they do it?! Earth fire was different from ordinary fire. It could not be extinguished even with water. Not to mention the Fire Spirit Beast had not been seen for thousands of years. How was this possible?!
However, Heavenly Gates Sect was usually very arrogant. It was a good opportunity to vent their anger.
“That’s right, sect leader Du. You don’t have to hide it anymore. The two elders must have come from thousands of miles away to report something very important. For your sect to be so frazzled, it must be related to the earth fire!” Daoist Zhenyi said with a cold smile. ‘If the little girl didn’t expose this, he would’ve really treated us as fools!’
Fairy Yu Mei also sneered, “Sect leader Du Guyi, although the contract between you and Bixiao Palace doesn’t mention the compensation for breach of contract, we can’t just let this go, right?!”
Du Guyi gritted his teeth. At this point, he could not hide it anymore and could only delay it for a while. Hence, he squeezed out a smile and said, “Everyone, don’t worry. Our Heavenly Gates Sect is not a sect that’s irresponsible. However, the incident happened suddenly so I have to go back and understand the situation first before I can give you an answer. Everyone, I’m sorry. I’ll take my leave first. Goodbye!”
After saying that, Du Guyi led the group of people from Heavenly Gates Sect and left.
No one stopped him. They had not reached the point of falling out with each other yet. There was still a long way to go, and they were not afraid to settle their scores!
Master Zhenyi laughed out loud. “Master Xuanyuan, you’re really something! You actually managed to get Heavenly Gates Sect’s Fire Spirit Beast here!”
Master Xuanyuan saw Yun Chujiu shaking her head slightly, so he said self-deprecatingly, “Master Zhenyi, you’re overestimating our sect too much! The Heavenly Gates Sect’s earth fire cave is heavily guarded and even has the earth fire as a barrier. Our We do not have the ability to pull something like that off.
“Besides, other than the few elders who are in secluded cultivation, all of our sect’s competent people are here. How could we have the chance to steal the Fire Spirit Beast?! However, no matter which expert did it, or if it really was heaven’s punishment, it definitely helped us vent our anger! All these years, the Heavenly Gates Sect has relied on the earth fire to take advantage of our three sects!”
When Daoist Zhenyi and Fairy Yu Mei heard what Master Xuanyuan said and began to mutter in their hearts. ‘That’s right, everyone in Spirit Radiance Sect who’s competent is here. It’s impossible for them to have the opportunity to steal the Fire Spirit Beast.’
“Little girl, how did you know that there was a problem with the Heavenly Gates Sect’s earth fire?” Fairy Yu Mei stared at Yun Chujiu and asked. ‘This little girl is rather suspicious. If it wasn’t for her, the sect wouldn’t have agreed to sign the contract, and they wouldn’t have proposed adding the clause of compensation for breach of contract. Could a little girl at the fourth level of the Spirit Enhancement realm do such an earth-shattering thing?’
