Chapter 85: Zhang Yue Compromises and Returns with a Reward
"Wang Hu, you took my money, and now you want to give me away. You bastard, do you still have any sense of shame?" Zhang Chao yelled.
Wang Hu was not to be outdone and said: "Your money was earned by my brain. Senior Brother Zhang Chao, you'd better pay me obediently. Otherwise, even if you make trouble in front of Elder Mingyuan, it will be the same."
By mentioning Elder Mingyuan, he was forcing Brother Zhang Chao to pay.
All around, other people from Qifeng also started making noises.
On the contrary, none of the disciples from the Four Peaks asked for help, and all of them just watched from the sidelines.
Zhang Chao looked around, he was like a lonely man being bullied by everyone.
"You Qifeng bullies you too much. I, Zhang Chao, don't believe it. The Qingya Sect has no room for reasoning. Don't you like to mention Elder Mingyuan? Then invite Elder Mingyuan here and argue."
Zhang Chao also made a desperate move.
"Zhang Chao, shut up!"
Zhang Yue could not remain silent again and scolded him.
"Brother, it's obvious that they teamed up to bully us." Zhang Chao was unwilling to give in.
"I told you to shut up. It's not like we can't afford to lose."
Zhang Yue walked out of the private room, glanced at everyone, and said: "Everyone, please be patient, our Sifeng will not do anything like denying defeat. Junior Brother Qi Hao, if we lose, we will naturally have to pay. But always
Can’t we ask our brothers to spend 50,000 merit points?”
"The bet was just for fun, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Brother Zhang Yue, how about we calculate it according to the merit value of 10,000?" Qi Hao asked with a smile.
"Okay, just follow what Junior Brother Qihao said."
Zhang Yue directly handed over his identity jade slip to the bidding girl from Qiandan Pavilion.
Ten thousand merit points were already much less than he expected.
Even if Qi Hao wants 12,000 merit points from him, he still has to give it.
Just now, he borrowed some from a friend and collected more than 10,000 merit points.
The girl took the jade slip of identity and went upstairs. Qi Hao completed the transaction in front of everyone.
The girl then took it downstairs and handed it over to Zhang Yue.
"Junior brother Qi Hao, we are willing to admit defeat this time. If there is a chance, I would like to discuss it with you personally." Zhang Yue said.
"Senior brother Zhang Yue is so polite. Junior brother is willing to accompany you at any time." Qi Hao responded with a smile.
"Okay, we have a long time to come. Let's meet again someday."
Zhang Yue dropped these words and left quickly.
Zhang Chao was very unwilling, but he could only follow Zhang Yue dejectedly.
"Brother, they are clearly setting us up. If we just admit defeat, wouldn't it be..."
"That's enough, don't you think it's embarrassing enough? If we make it worse, not only us, but Master will also be embarrassed. What's more, we signed the bet ourselves. If we default on the debt, Master will not be able to explain it to us.
I will immediately return to the Four Peaks to apologize. I hope Master can remember the kindness of the past and forgive me this time."
"Brother, will the elders punish you?"
"It's okay if it's just punishment. As long as Master doesn't expel me, I can accept any punishment." Zhang Yue sighed.
Once he loses his status as the elder's registered disciple, his status will drop a lot, and it will be difficult for him to stand out in the Qingya Sect in the future.
"Brother, I'm sorry, it was me who hurt you..."
"It's meaningless to say this now. You sent people to keep an eye on Qi Hao. We will definitely avenge today's hatred."
Zhang Yue gave some instructions and rode the spiritual bird directly back to the Four Peaks to plead guilty.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely not let them two have an easy time." Zhang Chao's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Even if the two outer disciples died, the sect wouldn't care too much.
... ... ...
In Qiandan Pavilion, everyone left one after another.
It's just that compared to before, Qifeng disciples have become more popular.
After all disciples from the Seven Peaks leave Qiandan Hall, disciples from other peaks will come up to them and call them brothers.
There were even some female disciples who frequently made secret glances.
Some people do it to inquire about information, while others do it to make friends.
A top-grade alchemist appeared in Qifeng and made friends with Qifeng's disciples. Even if he couldn't get any information, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
"Junior Brother Qi Hao, this time you have made a name for yourself, I'm afraid the entire sect will know about you. If you have nothing else to do, please return to Qifeng as soon as possible."
Han Ziqing gave a warning and left with Cai Yin.
Qi Hao was the only two people left in the private room.
"It's a big profit this time. Junior Brother Qi Hao, I don't want the elixir anymore. Just give me some merit points." Zhao Tiezhu rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Senior brother, I have no interest in elixirs. If you want the elixirs, I will give them to you. Chi Ming and I will share the merit points." Qi Hao responded.
It's useless for him to ask for elixirs. On the contrary, he doesn't have much merit.
"Junior brother, you really don't want the elixir? This is a treasure."
"I don't want it. Senior brother, don't be polite. If it weren't for senior brother, we wouldn't have this windfall." Qi Hao said firmly.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." Zhao Tiezhu laughed loudly and put the elixir away.
"Senior brother, please keep it a secret. Don't say that I gave you the elixir, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to Chi Ming. If Chi Ming smells it, just say that I gave you five thousand merit points." Qi Hao warned.
He wanted to give Chi Ming another pill. In this way, it would be regarded as an acquaintance, and he would not be at a loss.
"Don't worry, I have the strictest mouth." Zhao Tiezhu nodded repeatedly.
"Senior brother, let's go too. Senior brother Han is right, it's not safe to stay." Qi Hao said.
He had already made up his mind to return to Qifeng as soon as daybreak.
If it weren't for the unsafe night, he would go back now.
"Let's go to Lingquan. I know the boss there, so it's relatively safe."
After discussing it for a while, the two got up and left.
But before he could go downstairs, he saw Miss Cui Wei coming towards him.
Cui Wei walked up to him and bowed slightly: "Senior brothers, please stay. Our boss would like to invite you two to have dinner together, and we would also like to invite you two to show your respect."
"Miss Cuiwei, could you please thank Boss Lu for me? It's just that we have already made an appointment with friends and we really can't be separated." Zhao Tiezhu refused.
"Senior Brother Zhao has been running the trading hall for many years, so he naturally has many friends. But our boss has also invited many friends, and we hope that the two senior brothers can show their respect." Cui Wei invited again.
"In this case, we can't go. If my friends find out, I'm afraid there will be a fuss."
Seeing Zhao Tiezhu's firm attitude, Cui Wei had no choice but to give up: "Since you two have an appointment, I won't force it. I just want to ask senior fellow apprentices, do you know the top-grade alchemist?"
"Miss Cuiwei, it is still unknown whether the top-grade alchemist is from Qifeng. Even if he is, we two outer disciples cannot get in touch with him, which disappoints Miss Cuiwei."
Zhao Tiezhu exchanged pleasantries, then said goodbye to Qi Hao and left.
Cui Wei personally escorted the two of them out of Qiandan Hall before returning alone.
"Sister Cuiwei, the boss didn't invite the two of them. Did you make a mistake?"
The attendant beside Cui Wei reminded.
"The boss didn't invite them, but I wanted to invite them. Tonight is a game, and these two people are insiders. My intuition tells me that they have contact with Zhang Baili and the alchemist. It's a pity that I didn't ask them about it.
To what."
Everyone else focused on Zhang Baili and ignored Zhao Tiezhu.
But she just felt that these two people had a closer relationship with the alchemist.
Especially Qi Hao, a newbie who came to the trading hall for the first time, caused such a big disturbance and attracted everyone's attention. If he was just an outer disciple who had difficulty practicing, she wouldn't believe it.
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely have more contact with the two of them."
