Chapter 190 The Sincerity of the Misty Sea Society, the Amethyst Card
Xun Cinema, fourth floor of Mihai Club.
Surrounded by the crowd, Liu Lian's face grew increasingly ashen, his lips pressed tightly together, and the veins on the back of his fists bulging as he gripped them tightly.
Guan Shanyue looked at her senior brother's face, which was deathly pale.
She never imagined that her momentary tantrum would escalate to this point.
If only I could be more generous and less spoiled...
Guan Shanyue felt extremely guilty and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, not knowing how to handle the situation.
Chu Luobai stood calmly in place, observing Liu Lian and Guan Shanyue with his eyes.
There was always an awkward feeling between the two of them.
Chu Luobai couldn't explain it, but her intuition told her that something was wrong.
Meanwhile, the stall owner on the side just silently looked at the snacks in his hands, which was the first time in his life he had received so many.
This was the first time in his life he had obtained so many spirit stones. He felt great, but also a little uneasy.
He carefully observed Chu Luobai beside him, constantly trying to guess the identity of this female cultivator.
It's amazing that Manager Xu Fang would come and bring things over, and with such a gentle attitude...
In an instant, the stall owner felt the spirit stone in his hand getting hotter and hotter.
Standing in the middle, Xu Fang, after confirming that the guards had brought the surrounding cultivators under control, also wore an expression of detachment.
He wanted to see how Liu Lian would handle the situation now.
Meanwhile, how will the person who attracted this troublesome client explain himself to the building manager later?
No matter how he tries to argue, the fact that Liu Lian caused trouble is already a done deal. With such good leverage, I must report him to the authorities.
Only then can one be worthy of the knife that the other party personally handed to them.
The surrounding crowd realized the guards had arrived, and no one dared to speak loudly, but they remained standing in place, waiting for the show to begin.
.....
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, with only Liu Lian's heavy breathing being heard.
Everyone was waiting to see how Liu Lian, who had been so confident and aggressive just moments before, would handle this situation.
After a long while, a timid female voice spoke.
"We have misunderstood this fairy today. In the future, Snow Eagle City will certainly offer generous gifts to seek the fairy's forgiveness."
Guan Shanyue gritted his teeth and spoke, his eyes clear and his tone quite sincere.
Chu Luobai sighed inwardly, thinking that Guan Shanyue was indeed the successor trained by Guan Lan. At least in terms of public relations, he was much more sincere than Liu Lian.
They also know to bring out their biggest backer when things go wrong.
Sending an apology gift in the name of Snow Eagle City is far more appropriate than sending one in the name of Guan Shanyue.
If it were some independent cultivators, they might have simply given up.
After all, people without any background don't want to provoke a behemoth like Snow Eagle City, so they accepted the apology gift as a way to avoid trouble.
Unfortunately...
He has offended Chu Luobai today.
"The events of today..."
Before Chu Luobai could finish speaking, Liu Lian suddenly interrupted him.
"Junior sister, you don't need to apologize at all."
As if he had found a loophole, Liu Lian glared fiercely at Xu Fang, who was watching the show from the sidelines.
"I now suspect that Manager Xu is in cahoots with this woman, and that you're trying to protect her."
"Otherwise, how could someone like her possibly enter the Mysterious Sea Society!"
"And she even said she was there to deliver spirit stones. What did this female cultivator sell to get so many spirit stones?"
"They actually took out a hundred high-grade spirit stones and still had some left over. Did they sell some innate magic treasure?"
Liu Lian sneered, his mocking gaze shifting between Chu Luobai and Xu Fang.
The surrounding cultivators found today's events quite interesting.
Only disciples of major sects could offer something of exceptional quality for sale, something so valuable that it would even attract the attention of a shopkeeper.
Moreover, even disciples of major sects might not be able to afford it, since who among cultivators isn't poor?
If you get your hands on some rare and precious treasure, you should use it yourself first.
Someone who can come out and sell good stuff, and who's even willing to pay a hundred high-grade spirit stones to buy things...
They must be the prodigies directly trained by those major sects!
However, all the prodigies have quite a reputation, and even these rogue cultivators recognize them.
They had never heard of the dashing female sword cultivator in red before them.
Or rather, they had never heard of any major sword cultivation sect producing a female prodigy.
For a time, even those cultivators who considered themselves well-informed and knowledgeable about the martial arts world couldn't guess Chu Luobai's identity.
Upon hearing Liu Lian's question, Xu Fang, who had originally intended to stand aside and watch the show, immediately turned pale.
Getting entangled with clients is a major taboo in the Mihai Society.
If he were to allow this label to be placed on his head, then his time as the manager of the Misty Sea Society would be over.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I advise you to be careful with your words and actions!"
Xu Fang immediately shouted angrily, when suddenly a red figure flashed in front of him.
Powerful waves of spiritual energy rippled outwards, and an extremely strong aura instantly erupted in the center of the crowd!
Liu Lian, who had been feeling smug, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The next second, his body was violently slammed away by a tremendous force.
Bang!
With a loud crash, Liu Lian slammed into a pillar, denting it in the process.
puff.
Liu Lian coughed up a mouthful of blood and lay half-lying on the ground, struggling to stand up.
"Brother!"
Guan Shanyue exclaimed in surprise and ran to Liu Lian's side with a panicked expression.
"Senior brother, are you alright? Why did you cough up blood?"
She looked at Liu Lian with a hint of panic.
Where are you hurt?
Liu Lian fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, letting Guan Shanyue help him up from the ground, his eyes fixed on Chu Luobai with a gloomy expression.
The killing intent emanating from him was palpable to anyone.
The others then realized what was happening and stared at Chu Luobai with expressions of astonishment.
None of them expected that this seemingly frail female cultivator would dare to make a move in public.
And once he made a move, he was so ruthless!
Even Xu Fang gasped, but his surprise was quickly overshadowed by a secret thrill.
When guests make a move, it becomes a dispute between guests.
How to handle it is up to you.
not to mention...
The reason Xu Fang was late was that he had gone to investigate Chu Luobai's identity.
The disciple of Qingyun Sword Sect, who was also the disciple of that carefree immortal lord, had a background far greater than that of Snow Eagle City.
Moreover, Liu Lian is only a son-in-law.
"How dare you lay a hand on me! Have you thought about the consequences?"
Liu Lian said in a sinister tone.
"First you accused me of colluding with the stall owner, and now you're fabricating rumors about me out of thin air. Fellow Daoist Liu, is this all you've learned in Snow Eagle City all these years?"
Chu Luobai said calmly, raising his right hand. The Lingxiao behind him let out a soft hiss, and a flash of cold light landed in his hand.
"Spare your life today; it is already an act of mercy on my part."
"If you continue to be stubborn and refuse to see the truth, don't blame me."
Upon seeing someone draw their weapon, the guards in the crowd instantly tensed up.
They carefully observed Xu Fang's expression, and when they saw him shake his head slightly, they remained still and waited for things to develop.
"You dare to kill me?"
Liu Lian's spiritual energy began to circulate, and his killing intent intensified.
"Why wouldn't you dare? With your status as a son-in-law of Snow Eagle City, you're not even worthy to carry my shoes."
Chu Luobai gave a cold laugh.
Before anyone could react, a flash of cold light appeared in front of Chu Luobai.
The chilling, oppressive sword energy crashed down.
Liu Lian's eyes widened, barely managing to avoid the vital parts of his body.
The sword energy sliced across his right shoulder, and Liu Lian felt a sharp pain, followed by a burst of blood.
"hiss.."
Everyone present, including Xu Fang, gasped in shock.
Not only because of the powerful spiritual energy emanating from Chu Luobai just now, but also because Chu Luobai's sword strike was aimed at taking Liu Lian's life!
After enduring so much for so long, now they're unleashing a deadly attack.
Xu Fang couldn't help but marvel at Chu Luobai's terrifying temperament.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, kneel down and apologize, or die here?"
Chu Luobai said coldly, as the surging spiritual power within him gathered above the heavens.
Hey.
The Lingxiao Sword emitted a hissing sound, and terrifying sword energy gradually condensed on its surface.
Everyone felt a chill creeping down their spines, and couldn't help but swallow hard, thinking to themselves.
If I were to face a sword strike myself, what are my chances of winning?
wrong.
There should be some chance of survival.
"I see you dare!"
Liu Lian rebuked him sternly, but anyone could tell that he was already somewhat guilty.
The confidence he had when he spoke was not as strong as it had been before.
Guan Shanyue bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears, her mind filled with countless thoughts, yet she didn't know what to do.
The suggestion she made just now was something Chu Luobai was almost about to agree to...
Now, it's our own senior brother who's provoking others, which has led to the current situation.
For a moment, she couldn't think of a better solution.
Chu Luobai's teasing gaze kept sweeping over Liu Lian's right shoulder.
"What, do you still think I wouldn't dare?"
The shimmering sword light suddenly burst forth with a blinding brilliance, and the sword energy whistled away.
Bang!
A loud bang was heard, and a powerful shockwave exploded in the air.
A strong gust of wind swept in, and Chu Luobai raised his hand to block it, his right hand gripping the hilt of Lingxiao's sword tightly.
She had just sensed a powerful aura approaching, but initially thought it was just a powerful expert from the building coming to observe.
I never expected them to actually make a move...
Chu Luobai stood still for a few seconds, making sure that the other party was only blocking his sword energy and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, before he relaxed his vigilance.
When the smoke and dust cleared, a man dressed in a moon-white robe stood in front of Liu Lian.
He held a fan with a white jade frame in his hand, waving it continuously.
On the white fan surface, the character for "wealth" is written in thick ink.
"Oh, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."
"In this sweltering heat, why don't we just sit down and talk things out? Why get so angry?"
The man smiled, his skin was fair, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his eyes were narrowed as if he was smiling, but you couldn't see much of a smile.
He possesses a mysterious and unpredictable aura, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he's thinking.
Upon seeing this person, Xu Fang's expression immediately hardened, and his attitude instantly became respectful.
"Lord, the commotion has disturbed you. I deserve to die."
Snapped.
The young man, referred to as the "Lord," slightly moved his right hand, and the fan in his hand snapped shut with a "clack."
The smile on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes were slightly narrowed.
"I'll settle accounts with you later. If any clients complain about being affected by this incident, I won't let you off easily."
The poster glanced at Xu Fang, who was bowing her head and admitting her mistake, and spoke in a calm tone, seemingly showing no respect for Xu Fang at all. But in reality, she was taking this opportunity to tell the onlookers around her.
If you're willing to give Xu Fang some face, then don't bring this up again in the future.
After saying that, he raised his hand and summoned two guards.
"Someone, carry our distinguished guest away to rest and stop his bleeding."
Liu Lian wanted to say something more, but when he met the young man's gaze, he silently swallowed his words and let the two guards take him away, one on each side.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Chu Luobai.
Chu Luobai glanced back coldly, and the moment their eyes met, Liu Lian felt inexplicably guilty and subconsciously lowered his head.
"Today, I, Han Li, have mishandled the situation and caused our distinguished guest to be frightened. I apologize to our distinguished guest in advance."
With that, Han Li withdrew his hands, clasped his hands, and gave Chu Luobai a slight bow.
For a poster to publicly apologize to Chu Luobai is quite polite.
Even if Chu Luobai wanted to continue her outburst, she wouldn't have the nerve to.
"This is my Mihai Club's Purple Crystal Card. In the future, whether you are in Xunying City or in Xihai, as long as it is a property of my Mihai Club, you can enjoy a 20% discount on anything you buy."
Han Li took out a thin card from somewhere; the card was light purple all over.
It looked like it was made of some special mineral, with intricate patterns engraved on its translucent surface. These patterns were very similar to those on the signboard that Chu Luobai had seen when she entered.
This card is clearly not an ordinary item.
"As a member of the Mysterious Sea Society, if you encounter any danger in the future, you can seek refuge in our Mysterious Sea Society. Our Mysterious Sea Society will do its utmost to protect you."
With that, Han Li handed the amethyst card to Chu Luobai with both hands.
Everyone around looked on with envy.
This is the highest-grade amethyst card from the Misty Sea Society. Even some families that have been supplying the Misty Sea Society for a long time may not be able to get their hands on it.
Moreover, since its inception, the Mysterious Sea Society has issued fewer than ten amethyst cards.
Every person who possesses this card is someone with an extraordinary background and connections.
Now, they actually witnessed this Lord Han personally handing the Purple Crystal Card to this female sword cultivator!
"In that case, I, Chu, will accept your offer without hesitation."
Chu Luobai naturally knew the content of the amethyst card, and without any hesitation, she reached out and accepted it.
"If Fellow Daoist Chu takes a fancy to anything here today, feel free to buy it and put it on my, Han Li's, tab."
Seeing that Chu Luobai was so sensible, Han Li lightly waved his fan and said magnanimously.
"Master Han is indeed magnanimous. Then I will not stand on ceremony."
Although she didn't know what Han Li was planning, Chu Luobai readily accepted, adhering to the principle that it's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal.
