Chapter 890 - Token of Apology

“Sect Master Wei, it can’t be that you want to renege on our agreement, right?” Ling Chuxi asked icily, seeing his expression.

“Of course not! After all, our Jade Peak Sect is also regarded as a famous sect, so how could we possibly go back on our words? It’s just that this is a matter of great importance, so I must notify the sect elders and the family elders before handing the sect over to the Golden Pill Sect. Furthermore, your Golden Pill Sect has not held the opening ceremony, so the process of handing it over would not be smooth if we did it now,” Wei Zhixuan said with a fake smile on his face.

In truth, the Jade Peak Sect was just a small sect that had been established for a hundred years, and did not have that many rules. He had the final say, but he was trying to bide his time while thinking of another way out. There was no way he could just give away the industry of several generations of the Wei family that easily!

“That’s somewhat reasonable. During the sect opening grand ceremony, we will announce this news to the major sects.” Ling Chuxi saw through Wei Zhixuan’s ploy. How could someone like Wei Zhixuan willingly lose a bet? He had to be scheming something. However, Ling Chuxi had her own plans and didn’t ruin his façade; she just smiled and nodded.

“Then, shall we make a move first?” Wei Zhixuan breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as Ling Chuxi was willing to give him time to delay, it would be easier to handle. There was surely a solution to the matter and thus, he couldn’t wait to leave.

“Wait, the matter of the sect’s handover can be temporarily put aside, but what about injuring my Golden Pill Sect’s people? Are you really trying to quietly leave just like that?” Although Ling Chuxi had let Wei Zhixuan go temporarily, no matter what, she still had to gain back some interest first.

“These are the perfume and meridian pills that I just bought at the Feng Yan Union, take them as a token of apology.” Wei Zhixuan took out two jade bottles and handed them to Ling Chuxi. They were indeed the perfume and meridian pill bought by him earlier during the auction.

They were considered miraculous healing medicines of the Sacred Realm of Sects. If it weren’t for Jiang Wuhen’s intervention at the auction, it would not have fallen into his hands. It had cost him three thousand White Jade Crystals, so Wei Zhixuan would inevitably feel the pinch, but right now, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

“That’s enough? You think giving us these things solves everything? Did you forget what our Golden Pill Sect is best at? Aren’t you embarrassed to bring out such items?” Ling Chuxi slowly held her palm out and said derisively. Of course, she knew the value of the perfume and the meridian pills, which was much higher than the Crisis Reverse Pill since they were extremely hard to refine. However, she was intent on getting interest, so of course the perfume and meridian pills were no longer of any worth.

Wei Zhixuan looked at Ling Chuxi’s expression and knew he had to give up something else or he wouldn’t get to leave. He gritted his teeth and took out an odd insignia from his embrace and handed it to Ling Chuxi. “Ah, take this then… treat it as compensation as well.”

Seeing his pained look, Ling Chuxi guessed that this insignia was not that simple. She looked at it, and was surprised. The object was slightly old and dark, and turned a light red under the sunlight. It looked shabby and simple and there were signs of damage on every edge, but the carvings in the middle were still clearly visible. It was the figure of a wild beast or monster beast that Ling Chuxi had never heard of. It was looking up at the sky and howling, its fur dancing wildly, looking majestic and powerful. The carvings were extraordinary.
