Inside a magnificent office, Aunt Feng sat on the guest sofa and invited Yan Xu as well as Demon Queen Xia to sit down.
"Please sit down."
Yan Xu and Demon Queen Xia did not hesitate and immediately sat down in the position they thought was most comfortable.
"As expected of a top member belonging to Big Brother, even in the office of the Sect Chief you also act as you please" said Aunt Feng who was about to cry while massaging his forehead.
"Comfort is number one, courtesy is later, especially for you, Aunt Feng," replied Yan Xu shamelessly.
Aunt Feng let out a heavy sigh and said, "Whoever did the sins I committed in my previous life to you, our relationship has gotten so strange like this, huft~"
"It's possible that in Aunt Feng's previous life, Auntie would often prank the Disciple until she was not strong and committed suicide. So, in this life there is still a grudge of fate between us," retorted Yan Xu while shrugging both his shoulders.
"Gosh, I'm afraid~" Aunt Feng sneered with a mischievous smile.
"Uhuk."
Demon Queen Xia cleared his throat once and the atmosphere in the room turned cold.
"Can we go to the core of the problem? We're wasting too much time" Demon Queen Xia said.
"Right, Auntie please lend us your ride!" yan Xu continued with a pushy look.
Seeing that the naughty disciple was too obedient, Aunt Feng smelled suspicious odors between the two of them. Ever since the meeting in the main hall earlier, he had always provoked emotions from the beautiful woman next to the Naughty Disciple. However, the elf only acted decisively and rarely displayed her true emotions, as if she was the bottom of a calm pond without ripples.
Aunt Feng placed his chin on the back of his slender arm while smiling cunningly then said, "How can you offer?"
This time, Aunt Feng tried to bite Yan Xu for the last loss he had from the incident back then. If Yan Xu was not aware that they were currently being herded by Su Yinfeng in order to regain his losses, then it was certain that the rogue disciple would suffer even greater losses.
Understanding Aunt Feng's intentions, Yan Xu smiled faintly and said, "If you lend us the best mounts, the mission contribution this time will be split in half."
"Naughty disciples, do you know the meaning of half the contributions shared?" aunty Feng asked with her eyes pinched, as if she was judging her interlocutor.
"Yes, all the loot we get will be yours. Instead, we just take Su Yueyin and borrow your mounts during the mission."
"Relatedly? Aren't you the one who's counting?"
Aunt Feng was uncomfortable with the submission of this very smooth condition. He thought that there was a gap in the conditions proposed by Yan Xu. If he is not careful on this part, it is the same that he will not get any benefits and only suffer losses.
Yan Xu nodded and said, "Of course sure. Since the Disciple is a calculating person, the Disciple will give our loot fairly without the slightest lack."
"Hmm... Can you please specify the terms that apply to this agreement?" pinta Aunt Feng.
Reaching the condition he expected, Yan Xu maintained his emotional calm before the interlocutor. He will not show the slightest flaw or impatience so that his true intentions do not come to the surface. If Aunt Feng knew the true intentions of Yan Xu, it was certain that these negotiations would fail.
The stipulations in their agreement should be able to be seen without any loopholes by the interlocutor, therefore Yan Xu provoked Aunt Feng's attention on the sentence of the entire loot as the mission progressed would be shared with him. The other party did not eat the bait thoroughly, which was why he asked the terms of their agreement first before agreeing. As expected of an Aunt Feng, although it sucks, her talent in making things difficult for Yan Xu was too terrifying.
'Well, after all he is Su Yinfeng. No way, the person who has the ability to establish a number one sect in the cultivation world can be torn down easily," Yan Xu said in his heart.
So, all this time he had known that Aunt Feng was the Sect Head of Immortal Luo. Then, there was still another incredible secret identity possessed by Aunt Feng other than being the Sect Chief. He was also one of the saints who had defended Xuanyuan realm with Lan Xihe.
That was why Yan Xu was extremely careful and pretended to have such a labile emotion in front of Aunt Feng. If he was too cold and calculating, the original side that Yan Xu had hidden could have been known to Aunt Feng very easily. If Aunt Feng were to obtain Yan Xu's weakness, there was a chance that the crafty woman would use it later on.
Of course, as a man who upheld his manly dignity, an Yan Xu could not accept that. For that reason, he had to retreat step by step to survive Aunt Feng in order to advance ten steps. He would not let his last defense be knocked down just because of a smelly Aunt Feng!
"Isn't it clear? The stipulation is that whatever loot the Disciple gets during the mission, will be Aunt's."
"That's all? What if you don't have any loot or you keep it somewhere else, then when you come back you will say that you don't have any loot. Then, you will take back the loot saved after the mission is considered sele— hieek!— a-what are you doing?!"
Yan Xu cornered Aunt Feng on his sofa, just as he cornered the woman on the wall of the main hall earlier. This time, their faces only had a slight distance to clash with each other. The four equally beautiful eyelids met and exchanged glances.
"Su Yinfeng, have you forgotten who I am?" yan Xu said in a cold voice.
"K-you .." this time Su Yinfeng was completely cornered because his real name was revealed right inside his own office by the Naughty Disciple.
He did not know when the naughty disciple knew his true identity. Though he had tried hard so that his true identity was not revealed easily. However, unfortunately he did not know that Yan Xu was not a teenager who was still the same age as an immortal corn in Xuanyuan realm, that was a small mistake that Su Yinfeng was indeed unable to figure out.
Yan Xu who had no choice, finally had to corner the beautiful woman with her true identity. He actually wanted to end these negotiations peacefully, but Su Yinfeng was too meticulous in their talks. This made Yan Xu have to take out the final trump card by making the negotiating bench hotter, thus making their bet even bigger.
"No need to talk anymore, I'll go straight to the heart of the conversation. You want to lend us a ride or not?" yan Xu asked Su Yinfeng who was still panicking because this was the first time he had been cornered this close by the opposite sex.
"A-I .." Su Yinfeng's slender hand grip shook, he almost reached his limit. His face had started to feel the stinging heat, his slender back had been drenched in cold sweat.
"I told you, I won't deceive you because you are the Sect Chief. I am not one to act without strict calculations. You know that too, right? Now, what else do you doubt?" yan Xu's manner of speaking had changed, as if he was no longer a labile teenager but rather an adult man whose equivalent was even older compared to Su Yinfeng.
The sudden change from Yan Xu made Su Yinfeng unable to think. In fact, the contents of his head were now spinning uncontrollably due to the impact of his surprise.
Yan Xu held onto Su Yinfeng's slender hand and said, "Do you need us to make a dao vow here? If you want, then let's do it with a hundred more articles that I have provided since long ago about the division of compensation and the secret of your true identity."
Yan Xu further suppressed Su Yinfeng regardless of his condition. This time, he had to suppress a beautiful elf who had the power of a saint. So, sincerity and half-baked assertiveness will not work without evidence or supporting factors in increasing the percentage of success.
'When the milk is half a glass spilled, just spill it all over!' this was Yan Xu's true intention when he first mentioned Aunt Feng's real name which had been too disturbing all along.
He did not want to give Su Yinfeng time to calm down. For that, he will continue to press even though his safety is still in the guarantee because of Demon Queen Xia ....
'Wait ....'
'Ga-wate! My safety guarantee!'
Yan Xu cried out hysterically because he had advanced too far so as to have himself cornered to the edge of the abyss. This time, it was not the dangerous Su Yinfeng, but rather the Demon Queen Xia who had a murderous glint in her eyes which was the most dangerous entity!
If he still pity his life, Yan Xu should make the portions of both parties should be equal.
He stopped suppressing Su Yinfeng and immediately moved away, sitting next to Demon Queen Xia as before. Yan Xu's handsome face did not have the slightest change, as if he knew nothing. However, his mouth was still spicy as usual.
"How, Su Yinfeng, aren't you going to miss this opportunity to test us?" yan Xu asked flatly, without feeling the slightest fear.
Su Yinfeng who had gained time to calm down, was finally able to think clearly and change his expression to that of a Sect Chief.
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree that easily to your request. At least, that's my answer as Sect Chief."
"Oh? How about this, I'll compensate you twice as much as we get from your dilapidated Heavenly Peak now?"
Brak!
Su Yinfeng's slender arm slammed into the table in front of them. The typical expression of his Sect Chief was now assessing it carefully more than usual. That was because the interlocutor this time was not a person who could be compromised in a safe manner.
"What can a disciple with a gold core pinnacle cultivation realm before forging provide for me? Do you think I'm an idiot who would believe just like that against a weak little cultivator like you?"
There was a sneer from Su Yinfeng's beautiful eyes, but Yan Xu paid no heed to it and continued forward.
"Do you think this lowly little cultivator is just an ant sticking to his teacher's thigh every day for a little profit?"
"You-you! Don't-don't!"
Realizing that the sentence Yan Xu spoke was exactly like a comforting man, now Su Yinfeng was made to rise in blood again. She had not expected that her brother would accept a disciple who was so self-destructive like this.
Too late to regret, Su Yinfeng was speechless due to the appearance of a legendary sword that should no longer exist in Xuanyuan realm.
Su Yinfeng's tiny lips slightly opened and a familiar name came out of his mouth.
"The Sword ...."
When the slender arm wanted to touch the Sword of Dayu, there was a tremendous rejection and made a flash of snatching the arm of Su Yinfeng's immortal robe until there were some tears. Seeing the destructive power that could inflict damage to his immortal robe, Su Yinfeng looked at Yan Xu in annoyance.
"This ... where— is not, I'll get straight to the point. Give me this sword after your mission is over. That way, you don't have to pay for anything else" said Su Yinfeng, whose gaze could not be separated from Sword Dayu.
Yan Xu pulled out Dayu's sword and returned it to the dimensional storage pouch.
He shook his head in rejection then said, "You don't have enough qualifications to use it."
"Don't mess around! Do you know how much the gun owner has to pay? In fact, the qualifications to question here are yours, not mine!" su Yinfeng replied too enthusiastically and impatiently.
Smiling faintly, Yan Xu gave an order to the Dayu Sword to manifest itself through telepathy.
Sing!
The Dayu Sword reappeared before Yan Xu and he held onto it without the slightest hitch.
"Su Yinfeng, what right or qualification do you think is needed to get recognition from the Dayu Sword?" asked Yan Xu.
Su Yinfeng was downcast, not believing that the stinky mischievous disciple who had all this time looked unreliable suddenly got recognition from the legendary weapon. In this world, there should be no such cheating other than the property of her sister, Lan Xihe.
Su Yinfeng's slender fist opened, then he took a breath then replied calmly.
"It was courage, constancy and abundant qi energy."
Yan Xu stuck a wooden sword on the wooden table then said, "In your opinion, how could a weak little cultivator and still in the realm of the peak of the golden core before this forging be able to meet those three qualifications?"
"Easy, you must have outsmarted him with something!" su Yinfeng replied in disbelief, his eyes were almost filled with tears because he felt humiliated by eating his own words.
"Kah kah ..— pffftttt! Ahahaha!"
Yan Xu laughed uncontrollably until his voice could fill the entire room. He was unable to resist the amused feeling in his stomach as well as showing open contempt for the innocence of Su Yinfeng's baseless reply.
"Stop laughing!" su Yinfeng shouted in disbelief and his eyes were already covered in tears, signaling a little more he would cry out from the shame that could shake his dignity as one of the saints in Xuanyuan realm.
"All right, I'll stop. It's not good for a small class man like Disciple to bully an elf as beautiful as the Sect Chief."
"Yet again, you used the phrase of homage to insult me!—hiks!" yelled Su Yinfeng who was about to cry.
The almost crying expression of a fairy as beautiful as Su Yinfeng actually roused Yan Xu's spirit to even harder. However, he immediately stopped for fear that it would have a bad impact later on. Therefore, he immediately pulled out the Dayu sword from the wooden table, then pulled one of Su Yinfeng's slender arms.
Their equally white and smooth skin touched each other, accompanied by the Dayu Sword that Yan Xu placed in Su Yinfeng's slender grasp.
"From now on, you can have it. So, please give us the best mount for our Su Yueyin," Yan Xu said with a sincere smile.
Meanwhile, there was a disagreement within Yan Xu's heart as the Dayu Sword firmly rejected its new owner. However, Dayu's sword intent was immediately broken by Yan Xu's powerful sword intent so he had to be forced to accept Su Yinfeng as the new owner. Even so, the Dayu Sword did not deprive Yan Xu of the right of ownership against him, in other words the sword would instantly come when Yan Xu called out to him.
Successfully calming Su Yinfeng who was on the verge of crying due to the heartless bullying from Yan Xu, they now had a flying donkey-shaped mount that could make loud noises.
On the way to the Lower Road Crossing, Yan Xu regretted forgetting the feeling of Demon Queen Xia who had been silent and just watching. However, he was relieved that it might just mean that the bet between them was a defeat from the other party. So, she did not have to worry and had to think carefully about how she would ask for a gift from that all-black immortal-robed beautiful elf.
