Chapter 2146: Priceless Words
n
nPeng Weijin had no choice but to unwillingly back off. He didn’t dare to do anything despite being quite annoyed because of Arrogance Enterprise.
n
nMore people tried after him but the old man remained motionless
n
n“A bit interesting.” Li Qiye chuckled and led the group forward.
n
n“It’s you!” Peng Weijin immediately recognized Li Qiye and his expression soured. Nevertheless, he wasn’t angry and only snorted: “You think you can move him? Stop daydreaming.”
n
nIn fact, that one girl was the only successful one so far.
n
nLi Qiye ignored the youth and stood before the old man. Everyone was ready to watch Li Qiye for fun despite the previous attempts. Maybe this guy could come up with a better idea.
n
nLi Qiye wasn’t in a rush to talk and simply stared at the old man. After a while, he chuckled and said: “A meeting is a type of fate.”
n
nThe old man slowly looked up and took a careful look at Li Qiye, seemingly wanting to understand the guy completely.
n
nEveryone was surprised to see this little action from the old man because he has been ignoring everyone prior.
n
nIn just a short time, they watched eagerly with bated breath.
n
nLi Qiye smiled and said: “If it is fate, then a greeting gift is necessary in order to show our goodwill, right? The gift can be meager as long as the sentiment is there.”
n
n“Who do you think you are, the heaven? Wanting a greeting gift…” Weijin said with disdain.
n
nIt was indeed a little ridiculous, demanding a gift from the old man for this occasion.
n
nEveryone felt that was impossible, especially with his latter comment. The three treasures were all precious yet they became “meager gifts?”. This was their first time seeing someone so arrogant.
n
nContrary to everyone’s expectation, the old man coolly agreed: “That’s fine, you can pick any of them!”
n
nThe crowd’s mouth became agape from disbelief, big enough to fit a goose egg.
n
nWeijin had to swallow his words, not able to finish his entire train of thoughts.
n
n“How…” Everyone felt that the world had lost its logic. A meeting is fate? Demanding a greeting treasure right away? The guy actually got it? How could anyone be so lucky?
n
nEven Li Qiye’s people found this unbelievable. Sijing felt that she was only dreaming.
n
nHe casually picked one treasure and threw it to Shengping: “A treasure for your long service.”’
n
nShengping was stunned after catching the incredible treasure. This was indeed amazing, only king and queen level of existence in their system could have something like this.
n
nBut now, Li Qiye handed him one so easily. This wasn’t a dream, it was really happening.
n
nHe immediately got on the ground and said: “Thank you for your gift, Young Noble.”
n
nHe bowed his head three times - the treasure deserved this level of ceremony.
n
nAfterward, he also bowed at the old man. Of course, the old man’s eyes were fixated on Li Qiye.
n
n“It must be nice having a master like that.” The nonchalant exchange of gift as if the item couldn’t be more ordinary made the crowd envious.
n
n
nWeijin was turning red. Two Longevity Pills from his weren’t enough to grab this treasure yet this nobody gave it to Shengping without any hesitation? It was a fierce slap on his face.
n
n“Anything else you want to say?” The old man was the one initiating the conversation this time.
n
nThe crowd gasped. Numerous have tried to talk to him - begging and flattering were all done before. But now, this old man was hoping for Li Qiye to talk?
n
nLi Qiye said: “I actually have a lot to say, but these ugly treasures can’t get into my sight.”
n
nThe crowd took an audible, deep breath. These treasures were incredible, but now, they were “ugly”?
n
n“That’s too much.” Someone murmured.
n
nHowever, they thought about it and this guy earlier indeed gave one to a servant. His action matched his words.
n
n“What do you want?” The old man asked.
n
nThe crowd was astonished once more, thinking that they had misheard. This old man was going along with the guy?
n
nLi Qiye pointed at Zhu Sijing standing behind him and smiled: “Look at the little girl, I need one or two things nice to give to her, what do you think?”
n
nSijing has never been in the spotlight like this so she turned red, not daring to look at anyone else.
n
n“A Mutebane!” Someone finally noticed the runes on her neck.
n
nSome were frightened and took one step back because there were some rumors about this particular race.
n
nTheir reaction made her lower her head. Ultimately, she was very self-conscious about her background. There were people who treated her race like ferocious animals.
n
nThe old man stared at her and took out a treasure then placed it on the ground: “How about this?”
n
nIt was a necklace with patterns quite similar to the runes on her neck, as if it was personally crafted for her or her race.
n
nIt was made from some unknown metal with engraved gems. One wouldn’t be surprised if these dazzling gems were stars taken down from the sky and added to the necklace. Only a goddess was qualified to wear such a necklace; even a fool knew that it was an amazing treasure.
n
n“This is a necklace from a goddess?” Nobody could recognize the item or where it came from, but they certainly knew that it was much more valuable than the two items on the ground. Thus, people naturally started to salivate.
n
n“Hmph, not bad, but might as well give me another one. Good things come in pair.” Li Qiye looked at the necklace and nodded approvingly.
n
nPeople didn’t know how big of a deal it was for Li Qiye to praise an item.
n
nThe crowd was stunned to hear his response: “Isn’t this too greedy, he wants more after getting one priceless treasure already?”
n
nSome wanted to rush up and steal the necklace. It was too unreasonable for this guy to continue haggling.
n
nThe old man wasn’t angry at all. He took out another treasure and put it on the ground: “What about this one?”
n
nThis was a red dress with pulsing radiance and auspicious energy. Others felt as if they were in a paradise with its emergence. It was majestic enough to be made from red mists. This was definitely something belonging on an immortal. Wearing it could make one comfortable enough to instantly ascend.
n
n“No, just that one is enough.” One person swallowed their saliva like crazy and murmured after seeing it.
