Chapter 334: Invasion of Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators!
“Pardon this poor monk for being disrespectful.”
Ming Hui did not refuse, because he did not find 200,000 spirit stones expensive, instead, it was even a bit cheap. Moreover, when he was out, Ming Hui was often tight financially. His pair of shoes had been worn out, and now, he could finally change to a new pair.
As for Chang An, he nodded and said nothing.
To be honest, 200,000 spirit stones was better than nothing for Chang An.
Every year, Wei Heng gave him 700,000 spirit stones as his salary, as well as countless materials and resources. A mere 200,000 spirit stones were not that significant to Chang An.
However, since he deserved it, there was no reason to decline.
As for Tie Zhan, Feng Sidao, and Ren Pingsheng, they each received 250,000 spirit stones. After all, from the beginning until the end, the three of them had been busy and basically had no rest. Adding 50,000 spirit stones, no one would complain.
As for the spirit stones that Wei Heng had won from the auction, Victor had already given them back, leaving only the necessary commission and not a single cent extra.
“Young master, this time, we will definitely win!”
“We will definitely win, I can guarantee that. However, the problem is that if those forces make a move, even if we win two more rounds, it will be meaningless.”
Thinking of this, Victor sighed softly, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes.
Now, he could only place his hopes on Wei Heng. Whether Wei Zihan could sit on the city lord position would depend on what his trump card was!
However, the second stage of the compet.i.tion actually lasted for a month. Though now, only the first day had pa.s.sed. So, Victor decided to find something to do and think about what other methods he could use.
Unfortunately, Victor failed. Victor’s thoughts were all about leaving this place, so he had no time to be distracted.
At the same time, while Victor was thinking, Wei Zihan took out a pure blue, translucent crystal and stuffed it into Victor’s arms.
“Young master, do you still remember our agreement? After the deed is done, I will give you the Thousand-year Mystic Ice as a reward. Just now, I asked Senior Chang An to bring the Thousand-year Mystic Ice over. Now, I will give it to you. No matter what the result is, I am very grateful for your help.”
With that, Wei Zihan bowed deeply to Victor.
Victor accepted her grat.i.tude.
The reason was simple. Without Victor, there would be no victory.
“In that case, I will accept it.”
Victor did not stand on the ceremony. Just as Wei Zihan thought, he deserved it.
However, even if he got the Thousand-year Mystic Ice, Victor did not intend to leave just like that.
There was still a huge mess to be solved. Victor was not the kind of person who would give up halfway. Since he had decided to help Wei Zihan, he had to help her to the end.
“Miss, the city lord sent me a message just now. I need to make a trip to the city lord’s mansion.”
After the auction ended, when Victor went to pa.s.s the money to Wei Heng, he had asked Victor to come to his mansion later and said that he had something to ask of him. Victor did not ask any further and came back first.
Regarding this hidden tyc.o.o.n, Victor still had the att.i.tude of pleasing him as much as he could.
After all, if Wei Heng was happy and gave him a treasured weapon or cultivation technique, wouldn’t he be happy?
Thinking of this, Victor’s footsteps were light, and he soon arrived at the city lord’s mansion.
“Lin Bei, you’re here.”
“Yes, city lord, you were looking for me.”
“I heard from Chang An that your weapon was destroyed during the battle?”
“Yes…”
“You lost your weapon because of Zihan. As her father, I should return you one. Look, here are three long swords, a famous artifact, and two treasured artifacts. You can choose any one of them.”
As he spoke, Wei Heng opened his eyes and stared at Victor with interest, making the latter’s hair stand on end.
‘Choose? What do you mean? If it were anyone else, they would choose one of the treasured artifacts, right? Then what’s the meaning of this famous artifact?’
Victor’s brain spun rapidly, constantly thinking about Wei Heng’s intentions.
It was obvious that he was testing him.
However, what was his purpose?
Even if he chose the treasured artifact, what could he do?
“City lord, I no longer need a weapon. My fist is my weapon. Thank you for your good intentions, city lord.”
After thinking for a long time, Victor chose to reject.
He had no choice. He could not figure out Wei Heng’s intentions and did not want to think about it. It was better to be straightforward. He would not take anything so that he could not be played with!
“How can a gentleman not have a sword? Chang An, pick one for Lin Bei.”
“Yes, city lord. Previously, the weapon that young master destroyed was a famous artifact. Logically speaking, young master should also choose that famous artifact. However, considering that young master is dedicated to young miss, it is not excessive to choose a treasured artifact. However, of these two treasures, one is a demonic artifact and the other is a fate artifact. Obviously, they aren’t suitable for young master.
“So, in my opinion, only this famous artifact, like Water-like Sword, suits the young master the most.”
“Lin Bei, what do you think?”
“Of course it’s excellent.”
“Well, I’ll give this Water-like Sword to you.”
With that, Wei Heng’s mind moved, and the Water-like Sword immediately floated in the air and landed in the scabbard behind Victor.
“Thank you for the gift, city lord.”
“No worries, Lin Bei. You’re a smart person. I like to deal with smart people. Don’t worry. As long as you stay by Zihan’s side, not to mention treasures, even saint artifacts are available.”
“I understand.”
Victor bowed, and his back was drenched in a cold sweat.
It turned out that Wei Heng was suppressing him.
“Oh right, there’s one more thing.”
“Please go ahead, city lord.”
“You don’t have to worry about the matters of the four major forces anymore. I’ve already settled it. I believe that you guys will be able to obtain good results in this business compet.i.tion. I’m afraid that I, the city lord, will have to give up my position.
“Also, I have something to entrust to you.”
“City lord, feel free to say it. I’ll definitely do my best.”
“White Dragon City. In the past, it had always been my White Dragon City. In the future, it will be Zihan’s and your White Dragon City. No one else has the right to touch it. Do you understand?”
“I understand.” Victor slowly raised his head and looked at Wei Heng’s eyes that were shining with a cold gleam. He let out a breath.
“You can leave now.”
“Yes.”
Victor bowed and immediately turned around to leave.
Until he left the city lord’s mansion, Victor’s smile gradually disappeared. What replaced it was a hint of solemnity.
Wei Heng’s message was very clear. After Wei Zihan became the city lord, Wei Heng wanted him to kill all his other children.
A tiger would not eat its own children. However, Wei Heng wanted to kill all six of his sons and two daughters for the sake of his White Dragon City. This kind of ruthlessness made Victor feel disgusted.
“You still want to suppress me, hehe, old thing, extremely ridiculous!”
