Chapter 1230 - 342: The Cloud Descending Sect Incident (Conclusion)
With a hefty twenty million spirit points, Yuchi was overjoyed. Betting on a bicycle to turn it into a motorcycle, that’s exactly the situation now. It was just a branch of the Cloud Descending Sect, yet there were two million gold and silver back and forth. This indeed is more reliable than the casino over there. That’s just one Jiangzhou City, what about other cities?
Yuchi: Feels like I’m about to explode with excitement!
The Ascension Gate might really help elevate to a new realm, so by that time, what level would the Spiritual Qi at the Ascension Gate reach? Our disciples would be soaked in abundant Spiritual Qi, wouldn’t they? The speed of cultivation would presumably reach an unprecedented level, right?
...
A day later, Yuchi had already returned to Jiangzhou City. It was now the beginning of April in the year 990 of the Great Zhou calendar. The affair with the Cloud Descending Sect had been ongoing for more than a month, and the results were indeed excellent. After Yuchi returned to Jiangzhou City, he didn’t rush directly back to the Immortal Robe Pavilion.
He still had money left with the old man that he hadn’t collected. He remembered the old man had said that if it couldn’t be completed within a month, then there would be ten times compensation, right?
So he still had to get the tenfold compensation, which is also a million. Although compared to his current gold and silver, a million doesn’t seem like much, but a million is already enough for the current disciples of the Ascension Gate to use for half a year, not a negligible amount.
This thing is like buying different things.
If something originally costs one dollar, bargaining for two dimes off would make one extremely happy. But if something is ten thousand dollars and the price goes up or down by a hundred, it doesn’t make much difference. Once it reaches the million level, an extra ten or twenty thousand is insignificant.
No way, old Yuchi can’t act like this, he has to uphold our traditional virtues and treat this gold and silver well.
In the coffin shop, the old man wore a black face.
He could no longer contact the Cloud Descending Sect, so now even if new customers came, it was like the Cloud Descending Sect had sunk into the sea without a trace, making him very restless. After all, he could only contact the Cloud Descending Sect, not go over their heads to contact higher-ups.
And now Yuchi, seemingly weak, had come, and when the old man saw Yuchi with a timid expression, he was extremely annoyed.
Feeling the old man’s dissatisfaction, Yuchi remained quite calm, awkwardly asking, "Old sir, it’s been over a month now, so why is Chen Weiran still alive? According to the rules, isn’t it supposed to be resolved within a month? But it’s already been a month and a half, and still not resolved, so what’s going on with you guys?"
Yuchi spoke very pleasantly, and he himself seemed harmless. In the eyes of others, he was simply coming to inquire how the Cloud Descending Sect planned to handle it, appearing to be a really nice person with not a trace of aggressiveness, extremely amicable.
The old man was at a loss for words.
Not only Yuchi, but even the Grand Elder of the previous sect had come to ask why they hadn’t dealt with the people from the Immortal Robe Pavilion yet. And because that person was a Grand Elder, they had no choice, and after the time limit was up, not only did they have to refund but also provide ten times compensation.
The result was the old man had to use his own money first, and now with no gold or silver left, here came Yuchi, and he could not afford the compensation.
Yuchi pretended to be naive, saying, "Old sir, why aren’t you saying anything? Is it because such matters can’t be handled? Or is there some other hidden reason? Just tell me, I’m definitely an easygoing person."
The old man internally cursed Yuchi, cursing him to have a kid soon, but verbally promised, "Don’t worry about these matters, we will definitely kill Chen Weiran."
"Don’t."
"What do you mean by definitely kill Chen Weiran? You previously promised it would be done in a month."
"Now it’s been nearly a month and he’s still alive and well. You took my money, aren’t you going to do the job?"
Yuchi looked very aggrieved:
"I don’t care, you have to return my money first. Just as we agreed before, ten times the compensation, that’s a million. If I don’t kill Chen Weiran, wouldn’t that be fine? Just like the Cloud Descending Sect’s rules, once it exceeds the time limit, you compensate tenfold and then the task is canceled!"
Damn, is he really just here for money? The old man was not happy: "I said we would resolve the matter, you have to trust us!"
The old man’s implication was simple: when it comes to collecting money, we can do that, but once the money is collected, it’s ours. You think you can take it back from us? Do you really think our Cloud Descending Sect is that easy to bully?
Yuchi showed a very frightened expression and weakly said:
"But you haven’t resolved it for such a long time; heaven knows when you will. Give me back my money first, and when you resolve it, let me know! Or are you just trying to swallow my money; are you guys from the Cloud Descending Sect just scam artists?"
