Chapter 404: I Actually Hit the Nail on the Head
Elder Niu and Elder Ma were dumbfounded. They asked with trembling faces, “Sect master, what compensation did you include?”
Although the two of them were a little worried, they felt that the sect master would still know his limits. Even if he wrote a compensation, it would not be too much.
The two of them saw Du Guyi’s face turn green, then red, then purple. He gritted his teeth and said, “One-tenth of their Spirit Stones!”
Elder Niu and Elder Ma nearly fainted. “What? Sect leader, what did you say?”
Du Guyi gritted his teeth and said again, “The matter of the earth fire extinguis.h.i.+ng is inextricably linked to Spirit Radiance Sect for sure. That old man Xuanyuan set a trap for me!”
“Sect leader, but we didn’t find any traces of other people entering the cave. Moreover, the earth fire is violent and difficult to extinguish. How would they do it? Moreover, Spirit Radiance Sect’s Master Xuanyuan and the elders are all in the sect. Who is so heaven-defying that not only did they extinguish the earth fire, but they also stole the Fire Spirit Beast?”
The first person that flashed through Du Guyi’s mind was Yun Chujiu. However, he shook his head. This was simply the biggest joke in the world. She was just a little girl at the fourth level of Spirit Enhancement. Even if there were a hundred or a thousand of them added together, they would not be able to accomplish such a big feat. Could it be that it was not done by them? They had just happened to take advantage of it?
Du Guyi was in a terrible state at that moment and was prepared to return to the sect to discuss with everyone first. It would be best if he obtained the Spirit Radiance Sect’s share of the Spirit Stones first. As for the earth fire, he would find an excuse to delay it for a period of time!
As for the one-tenth of the Spirit Stones that he would have to compensate Spirit Radiance Sect, he would just act like a scoundrel when the time came and say that he could not give it to them no matter what! The Immortal Sect could not do anything to Heavenly Gates Sect anyway!
Du Guyi made up his mind and calmed his expression. Only then did he act as if nothing had happened and enter the banquet hall. The two elders were also invited into the banquet hall and sat down to attend the banquet.
Master Xuanyuan and the two other sect masters were extremely curious. What exactly had happened to Heavenly Gates Sect that they sent two elders to Spirit Radiance Sect?
“Sect master Dugu, did something happen? Do You need our help?” Master Xuanyuan asked tentatively.
“It’s nothing serious. It’s just a dispute between a few disciples. One of them is my true disciple who was slightly injured,” Du Guyi said in a decent manner.
Everyone was skeptical, but this was the private matter of Heavenly Gates Sect, so it was naturally not appropriate to ask too much. However, there was still the shameless Yun Chujiu!
This fellow had almost finished eating, so she leaned back on the chair and said with a grin, “Is it not a big deal? I heard from the side just now that your earth fire has been extinguished, and the Fire Spirit Beast has been stolen. Are you planning to act like a scoundrel and stall for time without compensating us!”
Du Guyi blurted out, “Nonsense! How can I be the kind of person who doesn’t keep his word?!”
Du Guyi immediately regretted his words. He had fallen for this stupid girl’s trick! ‘The three of us had set up an isolation array. It was impossible for this stupid girl to hear us! She was trying to trick me!’
However, it was already too late. Everyone in the banquet hall immediately reacted! There was no fool there. Looking at Du Guyi’s reaction, it was most likely true!
If nothing had happened to the earth fire, Du Guyi would have refuted the first few sentences Yun Chujiu said and not the last sentence about stalling for time.
Yun Chujiu clapped her hands. “Oh my G.o.d, could it be that your earth fire has really been extinguished? The Fire Spirit Beast has also disappeared? I was just casually saying it, and I actually hit the nail on the head! Oh My G.o.d, did Heavenly Gates Sect do something so heartless that they were punished by the heavens?”
