Chapter 540: Five hundred and forty, goodbye Jinghong Umbrella
"Thankfully, top-tier forces on the Tenglong Continent like the Meridian Refining Master Association and Xuanyin Hall don’t seem to be interested in Yun Xiao!"
Everyone felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment. However, when they saw neither Qian Sanyuan nor Xue Ningxiang made a move, they also felt some balance; after all, these two powerhouses truly represented the peak forces of the Tenglong Continent.
"Yun Xiao, my offer still stands—if you agree to join the Meridian Refining Master Association, you can pick and choose from its resources freely, with privileges equivalent to that of an Elder of the Association!"
However, just as a sense of balance began to settle in everyone’s hearts, Vice President Qian Sanyuan, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, and the terms of his offer instantly outshone those of the other seven sects.
Even Yun Xiao was somewhat shocked, for the terms Qian Sanyuan proposed during his visit to the Jade Pot Courtyard the day before were far less generous, making the offer hard to refuse.
It should be noted that even a branch of the Meridian Refining Masters on the Hidden Dragon Continent would possess resources almost comparable to the power of an entire Empire, given that the continent’s Meridian Refining Masters are among the wealthiest groups.
Not to mention the Meridian Refining Master Association of the Tenglong Continent—Qian Sanyuan’s offer was clearly irresistible to any rational person.
Those who had just been relieved that Yun Xiao was not approached by either the Meridian Refining Master Association or Xuanyin Hall now wore complex expressions as they unanimously turned their gazes towards Miss Xue.
As an ominous feeling began to rise in everyone’s hearts, Miss Xue of Xuanyin Hall indeed spoke softly, stunning everyone with her words:
"Yun Xiao, I am the only daughter of my father. If you join Xuanyin Hall, I can persuade him to take you as his adopted son. And as for myself, I have no interest in taking over the Xuanyin Hall!"
Standing up slowly, Xue Ningxiang glanced at Qian Sanyuan and spoke with a blush on her face, but the implication of her words was clear to everyone.
Xuanyin Hall, a colossus on the Tenglong Continent, vastly outstripped factions such as Impermanence Island and Firewood Valley in power. Even the geniuses of the Tenglong Continent took pride in the chance to join Xuanyin Hall.
