Chapter 879: Pride Comes Before a Fall
“Hmph, and I thought he was going to say something admirable. Turns out he’s just relying on his ancestor’s reputation to scare and cheat others,” Lan Xinyu scoffed disdainfully, her voice loud and clear.
Lan Xinyu had no other intentions saying that, but Lu Chengfeng, who was just about to mention Lu Jiantang’s name to scare him, quickly dismissed the thought after hearing what Lan Xinyu had said.
Wei Xiaofeng’s name was that fellow’s trump card? Even if he was part of the top ten experts, he was the weakest of them all. If he was to be mentioned in the same breath as Lu Jiantang, it would be an embarrassment to Lu Chengfeng’s ancestor. Besides, if it was necessary to mention the name of his ancestor to deal against such a small sect, wouldn’t it only devalue Lu Jiantang’s name?
Lu Chengfeng changed his mind and decided not to reveal his identity. He wanted to take the opportunity to teach this man a lesson before mentioning his name. He wanted to let outsiders know that Lu Jiantang’s descendants had real potential, not like this person here that relied on the prestige of his ancestors to swindle and cheat others. If Lu Chengfeng taught this man a lesson, would he not gain both reputation and dignity? The smug Expert Lu was excited at the prospect of it.
“So what? If your Su family didn’t rely on the wealth left behind by your ancestors, would you be what you are today?” Wei Zhixuan retorted sarcastically, not at all angered by Lan Xinyu’s words.
“Sect Master Wei, what did my Golden Pill Sect disciples do to offend you, that so many people chased them all the way here and even tried to hurt them?” Ling Chuxi was not interested in comparing their ancestors and asked coldly. The sect opening grand ceremony hadn’t even been held yet, and someone was already causing trouble. If they didn’t show him how powerful they were today, how could they leave with their minds at ease?
Ling Chuxi wouldn’t let Wei Zhixuan leave the Golden Pill Sect’s territory peacefully, no matter what.
“Actually, I wanted to come to the Golden Pill Sect to meet the head of the Su family, and wanted this little brother’s help to introduce him. Seeing that his cultivation was quite good and he wanted to spar, I accidentally used a little too much strength and unintentionally offended you all.” Wei Zhixuan didn’t know Ling Chuxi’s thoughts and didn’t think anything of her, but he did want some benefits from the crystal mine, so he couldn’t go against her so soon. It would be best if they could talk things out, and only if the negotiations didn’t work, would he make a move.
‘Visit? Spar? Hmph!’ Ling Chuxi silently scoffed on the inside, but said calmly, “If you have something on your mind, just say it.” Ling Chuxi wanted to see what Wei Zhixuan’s hidden agenda was before taking the next step.
“Since the Su Clan Head and Sect Master Ling are both here, I’ll get straight to it. Your Golden Pill Sect has been abandoned for thousands of years. If it weren’t for our Wei family looking out for you all, petty thieves would have emptied it. Our Wei family abided by the sect laws and morality and didn’t touch anything in the Golden Pill Sect. Now that you have returned and found the crystal mine left by your ancestors, shouldn’t you show some appreciation?” Wei Zhixuan suggested slyly.
