The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
Suspicions

Yue Yie was trying to think considering Hao Zhao's offer which was actually not at all bad but also could not take her for granted.

A rare coin was comparable to ten million gold coins, where such a large sum of money was already on top of the entire assets of the Treasure Lantern sect. That amount of money could also actually buy a whole lot of Treasure Lanterns, although there was no way the Treasure Lantern officials would want to sell them.

Indeed the Treasure Lantern sect although counted new in the empire, but had a significant surge of the profits they gained through their business.

So raising their value to over ten million gold coins was easy even if it took time, where if Yue Yie accepted Hao Zhao's offer then it meant that Hao Zhao would also take part in the possession of the Treasure Lantern which meant that his sect did not have the Treasure Lantern business completely and had to split it with Hao Zhao.

“How? Is the Treasure Lantern interested in my offer?" Hao Zhao briefly grinned before saying that.

Yue Yie who was seriously thinking had to split her focus because of Hao Zhao's question, so Yue Yie's mind immediately became chaotic.

“Young Master, can you give me a moment to think about this?" Yue Yie with a pleading expression.

“I've given you enough time, how much longer will it take you to make a decision?" Hao Zhao with his flat expression.

“A little more time Young Master, please." Yue Yie who did not want to regret for recklessly making up her mind.

“Good, enjoy your time then." Hao Zhao allowed Yue Yie to take advantage of the time she was given, where Hao Zhao remained silent afterwards while staring at Yue Yie.

Yue Yie immediately went back into silence trying to focus, even though she had to fail because she somehow felt annoyed by how Hao Zhao looked at her.

Yue Yie was obviously wrongly looked at by a young man like Hao Zhao whose good looks were not playful, making Yue Yie suspect whether Hao Zhao was deliberately doing that to disturb his concentration.

“Young Master, can I think of all this outside?" Yue Yie after getting tired of it all.

Hao Zhao briefly looked at Yue Yie questioningly, before nodding softly to let Yue Yie do what she wanted.

Yue Yie walked out of the room afterwards. Where in front of the door of the room, Yue Yie immediately ruffled her hair feeling toyed with by Hao Zhao.

“Unlike this should be, she is who and why can make me become like this," muttered Yue Yie looking frustrated.

There were two things that greatly disturbed Yue Yie's mind at that time. First was certainly Hao Zhao's offer which although tempting but felt so absurd, while the second was the figure of Hao Zhao himself that Yue Yie could not guess who he was as well where he came from.

“Muridku, did anything happen that you looked so bad like this?"

A heavy voice rattled out, where Yue Yie turned his head before being surprised to learn the presence of an old man who was none other than his teacher.

“Teacher, thank God you came," Yue Yie said with a sigh of relief, thinking her teacher could and had more right to decide such a thing than she did.

Yang Gao is the name of the old man, where he is the patriarch of the Treasure Lantern sect as well as the initiator of the establishment of a sect that is more focused on running in the business field.

Yue Yie just wanted to tell the presence of a complicated figure like Hao Zhao to her teacher, before Yang Gao gestured for Yue Yie to shut up.

Yue Yie had wondered not to understand the purpose of her teacher telling silence, although in the end still obeyed by closing her mouth.

“Receive the offer? Why?" yue Yie asked slightly unexpectedly, that her teacher had found out about Hao Zhao's presence there.

“Just do it, this young man is attractive," Yang Gao with a small smile.

“Well if it's your decision, Master, I'll do as you say." Yue Yie who was after him immediately re-entered the room where Hao Zhao was.

Hao Zhao was feeling so bored when Yue Yie finally came back there, where it was time for Hao Zhao to make a decision.

Hao Zhao just wanted to ask the decision that Yue Yie took before suddenly turning to the corner of the room.

Hao Zhao sensed the presence of someone there, to the utter shock of Hao Zhao after learning how powerful it was that someone was clearly trying to hide by dispelling his presence.

“I've tried to offer you the best option and here's the answer?" Hao Zhao who felt fooled started to bring up his sword which was originally stored inside the s.p.a.ce ring.

Yue Yie saw the sword Hao Zhao appeared suddenly immediately feeling shocked, questioning what Hao Zhao was trying to do with the sword.

“Young Master, what's up? Was there one of my actions that offended you?" Yue Yie who completely did not understand the cause of Hao Zhao's anger.

Hao Zhao heard Yue Yie's question immediately looked at Yue Yie sharply, before saying, “If you feel any objection to my offer you just need to reject it, instead of calling someone to deal with me like this."

Yue Yie was increasingly confused to hear Hao Zhao say, not at all understanding someone Hao Zhao meant because there was only him as well as Hao Zhao there.

“Young Master, please calm yourself. There are only the two of us here anyway how could I dare to tell someone to do evil to a respectable customer like you," Yue Yie tried to behave accordingly, after all, for Hao Zhao not to be more suspicious of the guesses was absurd.

“Omong empty." Hao Zhao had already drawn his sword before slashing it towards the corner of the room, where Hao Zhao knew there was someone present.

The gleam of energy in Hao Zhao was created from the slash of the sword, where it immediately saw the figure of the old man with his sword holding back the energy attack from the sword of Hao Zhao.

Yue Yie saw that immediately felt surprised, how not if it turned out that Yang Gao was who Hao Zhao meant as someone she prepared to do bad things to Hao Zhao.

“Teacher, are you okay?" Yue Yie walked over to Yang Gao immediately, feeling alarmed at the expression of her teacher who seemed to be enduring pain after dispelling Hao Zhao's sword energy earlier.

“Muridku, I'm fine. Just some surprise that I was currently feeling, it was completely unexpected that there would be a younger generation able to have this much power." Yang Gao with a wide smile, did not expect Hao Zhao to be able to feel the air of his being there at all.

“Stay Master, it's dangerous. After all since when did Master start to notice the conversation between me and Young Master here?" Yue Yie was full of curiosity, not knowing that her teacher was there at all.

“Since the beginning of course, after all your teacher can know where related to his offer if not heard it directly?" Yang Gao with his smile, felt increasingly curious about Hao Zhao's figure which seemed to never stop surprising him from the beginning he noticed.

Hao Zhao only looked at Yue Yie as well as Yang Gao in silence, not the slightest hint of lowering his guard considering the two could at any time attack him if he let his guard down just a little.

“I was careless before," murmured Hao Zhao, regretting why he only realized that Yang Gao was there.
