Chapter 270 The Battle for Seating Arrangements, The Exchange Meeting
Madam Lan secretly scoffed at him.
This Zhu Sheng dares to claim that he will lead the Bamboo Clan out of the Mist Mountain; it is utterly laughable.
Does he really think he can stand on equal footing with these true powerhouses and consider himself the master of the bamboo vein? What a fool's dream!
We only gave him face because of the bamboo lineage, but he actually took us seriously.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Sheng froze on the spot, his expression frozen.
He thought that what he said would have an effect, but he did not expect that Madam Lan would tell him to leave so directly and in such a bad manner.
His gaze swept over everyone, but he found that no one tried to stop him, and no one even gave him a second glance.
"How...how could you do this!" Zhu Sheng asked in disbelief.
He couldn't understand why these people treated him so coldly, as if he were an insignificant nobody.
"Heh, why can't we do this?" Palace Master Ju sneered, speaking impatiently, "Your master is dead, and the Bamboo Clan is without a leader. What right do you have to point fingers here? If you want to get out, then get out of here and stop getting in my way!"
"That's right, you're just a junior, you should mind your own business first." Man Gu chimed in, earnestly reminding him, "Also, when you're out in the world, don't be so arrogant when you see women. You're so weak, you'll get beaten to death."
Zhu Sheng's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
His fists were clenched, and his body trembled slightly, clearly suppressing his anger.
He knew he couldn't change the situation and had to seek outside help, so he snorted and turned to leave.
"Take care, I won't see you off," Madam Lan said calmly behind him.
Palace Master Ju's gaze swept over the group of people before she suddenly spoke up: "Now that Mist Mountain has changed hands and the dust has settled, shouldn't the seating arrangement at this tea party be rearranged?"
All eyes were on Chu Lengyu, eager to see how she would react.
She smiled slightly and replied, "Do as you please, I'll keep an eye on things."
"This..." Palace Master Ju was speechless for a moment. She looked at Chu Lengyu, then at the others, and could only smile awkwardly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.
Not long ago, she successfully broke through to the fourth level of the Innate Realm, greatly increasing her strength and becoming very spirited.
She originally planned to take advantage of the tea party to challenge Elder Merlin and Saintess of the Underworld Moon, and then compete with Madam Lan, in order to make Chrysanthemum Clan famous and demonstrate her strength.
However, things don't always go as planned. Unexpected events occurred frequently at the tea party, especially the sudden appearance of Chu Lengyu, a cultivator, which disrupted all her plans.
Chu Lengyu's calm and composed demeanor made her feel powerless, as if she were punching cotton.
Although the Palace Mistress was unwilling, she also understood that it was not advisable for her to act rashly at this time.
It seems that both Elder Merlin and Madam Lan have a close relationship with Chu Lengyu, so it's not advisable to provoke them. If one were to challenge them rashly, it would probably be a case of more harm than good.
Although the Holy Maiden of the Underworld Moon is an outsider, challenging her would make one appear cowardly and lose face.
After much deliberation, Princess Ju could only helplessly choose to give up. It would have been better not to mention the seating arrangement at all; it was truly frustrating.
She chuckled dryly and said, "Since not everyone is here today, let's put the seating arrangement aside for now."
Although this statement was somewhat forced, it was at least a way for him to save face.
Seeing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
The dispute over seating arrangements at the tea party came to an end. Everyone tidied up the space, took their seats again, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Next up is the exchange session that everyone has been eagerly anticipating.
Luo Yu was the first to stand up.
His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Chu Lengyu.
He said respectfully, "Master Chu, these are some specialties I brought from the East Sea. Please take a look."
After saying that, he opened his large cloth bag, which was filled with all sorts of strange and wonderful things, including oddly shaped seashells, radiant pearls, and various rare corals in a variety of colors.
"These are all specialties of the East China Sea. Although they are not rare treasures, they are still rare and good things." Luo Yu introduced them while showing them to everyone one by one.
Looking at these specialties from the East China Sea, the group showed curiosity and stepped forward to talk to Luo Yu.
Madam Lan and several other women all took a liking to the large pearls he brought and traded them with items they had prepared beforehand.
These pearls, which come from the deep sea, are ground into powder and have beautifying effects, making them very popular among them.
Meanwhile, the old man Merlin picked and chose from the large cloth bag, finding several pieces of coral he needed, and exchanged them with Luo Yu using items from the Empty Stone Ring.
He happily put away the coral and introduced it to his apprentice Yi Xiaoqi beside him: "The East Sea is rich in resources, but spiritual objects are hidden in the deep sea and are extremely difficult to obtain. Apart from Xiao Luo's place, there is no other stable channel to obtain them in the whole world."
"This red coral nourishes your blood and qi, and its yin nature is compatible with you. It will be of great use. When we get back later, I will teach you how to use it."
"and this……"
Yi Xiaoqi listened attentively, trying her best to remember her master's words.
This was something she had never had access to before, so how could she let it go so easily?
"Hehe." Upon seeing this scene, the Bai family patriarch immediately had an idea.
He then turned to Chu Lengyu and said, “My Bai family has a history of thousands of years, and through generations, we have accumulated a vast collection of treasures and rare items in our storeroom. If you are willing to spare me, you can choose any treasures in our storeroom.”
He realized that he had really messed with the wrong person today. Even with the strange power of vines, he couldn't fight against the woman in front of him, so he had to start thinking of ways to survive.
Thinking of this, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. His former arrogance had vanished like smoke, leaving only the will to survive.
As for that mysterious white crystal, although he was extremely reluctant to part with it, he understood that his life was hanging by a thread at this moment. Only by living could he have a chance to make a comeback. Everything else was just material possessions and could be discarded.
Upon hearing this, Chu Lengyu gently shook her head and said, "The Bai family's treasures are nothing to me. Besides, how much of what you call a thousand years of accumulation is left now? I think you know that in your heart, so why bother mentioning it again?"
The old patriarch of the Bai family looked slightly grim.
