Chapter 50 - 27) The Hunt for Divine Yin peaches
Zhao Fan and Ming'er exchanged a glance, sensing the tense atmosphere between the two groups.
"I think we should ignore them,"
Ming'er said but he knew he had to intervene, lest the situation escalate into a full-blown fight.
That would be a worse case scenario.
Zhao Fan stepped forward, maintaining a polite smile.
"Esteemed sir," Zhao Fan began with a calm and respectful tone.
"I can sense that both parties have valid reasons for wanting this tree. Perhaps there is a way for you both to reach a mutually beneficial agreement?
However, being a righteous Daoist I couldn't see you scamming a bunch of girls, have conscious,"
Ming'er: "..." ( Hmph, is master a righteous person? Why do I feel like he isn't )
People from the alchemy group: "..." ( Who's lost child is this?)
Ice jade peak maidens: "..." ( huh? Who is this person? )
The leader of the alchemy association turned to face Zhao Fan, his eyes narrowing as he appraised the young man from head to toe and toe to head.
"And who might you be?" he asked, his tone dripping with disdain.
"I don't believe I've seen you at any of the sect's gatherings before,"
He snorted not giving him any face overlooking the jade token hanging on his robe.
He is from an alchemy association, it's him who gets the face from others.
However,
The women from Ice Jade Peak noticed the jade token hanging on the waist which was a token from the Zhao family with a crown symbol.
The divine son of the Zhao Family?
"Greetings, Divine Son of Zhao Family,"
The alchemy association leader's eyes narrowed as he listened to Cici's words.
He stroked his chin, considering the situation.
The junior master continued, "Senior, I am willing to offer 9000 High-grade Stones for three peaches, I hope you will be magnanimous and accept this offer,"
"Hahahahha!!!"
The alchemist leader threw his head back and laughed, a cruel sound that echoed through crystal clear.
"You think I would settle for a mere 9000 High-grade Stones? I am Fang Yuan, a grade 7 alchemist, alchemy genius, do you think you are worthy of putting a price in front of me?" He said.
Let's be logical what if he is the divine son of the Zhao family?
Only dumb people fight without caring for background or what happens next.
It's very unlikely Divine Son of the Zhao Family would be a love-sick fool who stands for women, even if he stands then what?
Is he gonna offend thy?
Not at all.
Such a brat, he should go back and suck his momma's tits, after all, milk is healthy for kids.
Fang Yuan have never met the divine son of the Zhao family but he knows the divine son is the number 1 talent, so what?
Even the Zhao Family ancestors have to be polite in front of him.
Even if it is hot-headed youth, he would soon learn the truth of the world.
Thus, he didn't care even if Zhao Fan came to support them.
In the end, his background is better than both of them.

Zhao Fan's smile remained, unshaken by Fang Yuan's dismissive words.
This old man didn't even gave him a face.
It was a pure disrespect.
Looking down on him?
Quite interesting.
His eyes glinted with a quiet strength, though he didn't let his anger show.
Then again, what's the point of getting angry at such common people.
The average type of person who thinks within limited insight.
Ming'er, who was observing from the side, could feel the rising tension but knew better than to interfere for now.
The situation was delicate.
Her master was not given any face.
Ignored like a lost child.
"I see... Senior, Fang Yuan," Zhao Fan began again, his voice calm but carrying an unspoken weight.
"I understand that you are an accomplished alchemist and your position demands respect. However, it's not the amount of stones one offers that should define the terms of an agreement, but the fairness of it.
Surely, even the most brilliant minds must acknowledge the importance of balance in all things, be it in trade, in cultivation, or in our dealings with others,"
His words were pointed but wrapped in courtesy.

The best way to deal with an ordinary person is to get on the moral high ground.
Not to mention, Zhao Fan could sense that Fang Yuan was not one to be easily swayed by polite negotiation.
Bitch was offered free money yet he demands more.
Well, one can only say that the alchemist's reputation preceded him, and it was likely that his pride would not let him back down without a challenge.
If Zhao Fan was in his shoes he would do the same, after all, that's the reasonable thing to do if you wanna gain something.
The women from Ice Jade Peak, noticing the slight shift in Zhao Fan's tone, exchanged curious glances.
Who was this man? So handsome.
Of course only a little handsome, not to the point where they will bear a monkey for him.
Such sluts are only found in brothels, not inside the frost wasteland where weaklings die easily.
Cici with an air of quiet authority, looked closely at Zhao Fan, her expression unreadable.
She knew of the Zhao Family's influence, but to see their divine son, so young, in action was a different matter entirely.
But why was he doing such things?
He might not be interested in one of the disciples will he?
Well, he may even be interested in multiple disciples.
Options are limitless.

Fang Yuan's lips curled into a mocking smile as he raised a hand dismissively.
"Balance? Ha! You speak of balance while offering mere stones for treasures that are priceless. You misunderstand, Divine Son of Zhao Family, or perhaps you overestimate your own worth,"
He chuckled again, this time with a darker undertone. "I see now you are merely a naive young man trying to play in the big leagues. You should return to your family's estate and learn some humility before you try to bargain with someone of my stature,"
Zhao Fan's gaze hardened slightly, the smile still present, but now carrying a deeper edge.
"I see, words are meaningless then let's talk with fists..."
Zhao Fan's palm Instantly glowed with the blue aura, multiple space-breaking runes appeared around him.
Fang Yuan: Gulp! ( Swallows hard )
