"What are you saying, Uncle Gi? Why would I kneel to this bastard? Someone who dared to disrespect me so much?" Gu Hua clenched the edges of her dress with indignation.
"You fool! I knew that I shouldn't have spoilt you so much! This is the order of the family head! Stop acting spoilt and do what I say!" Uncle Gi grit his teeth.
"I see! The family head himself knows that the family was in the wrong. That is good to hear. I would be disappointed if a family like the Gi family had some idiot at the helm. However, they really need to raise the kids properly. Or else, they will turn out like this stupid one, offending the wrong people." Liu Feng smiled and glared at Gu Hua.
"What can you do? All show. No one will dare do anything to the Gu family. The Gu family has hundreds of alchemists. No one would offend those many alchemists for just you." Gu Hua sneered.
"It looks like this girl is out of control." Liu Feng glanced at Uncle Gi. Nodding, Uncle Gi stood up.
And in front of the thousands of people enjoying the spectacle, he raised his hand.
Smack!
His hand went through a wide arc and splendidly landed on the right cheek of Gu Hua. Gu Hua stumbled and fell on the ground, right on her knees.
"She is apologizing, Young Noble. Please forgive her." Uncle Gi pleaded by putting both his hands together.
"The compensation. What is my compensation." Liu Feng nonchalantly asked.
"The Gu family has one of the most extensive collections of rare and precious herbs. You can take your pick of them in the family's treasury." Uncle Gi hastily said.
"Do you think that I am a fool? Do you think that I will walk into your den so easily? Fine. Both of your spatial rings, I will be content with those for now." he sighed and said, acting like he was doing them a favor.
"Our- our spatial rings?" Uncle Gi stammered. He glanced fearfully at Gu Hua, and this one look told Liu Feng that whatever was in Gu Hua's spatial ring was certainly worth more than those precious herbs.
"I will settle for your spatial rings. Hand them over, or I will do my best to rally support against the Gu family." Liu Feng said.
"Young Noble. Do not push things too far. There are many watching the injustice that you are putting us through." Uncle Gi said.
"Injustice?" Liu Feng raised his voice. "What injustice? Everyone here knows after that stupid bastard that you call young lady confirmed it. The Gu family tried to kill me. Without me, the Tiandu Kingdom wouldn't have won the competition. Not only did it try and kill me, but it also tried to tarnish the reputation of the kingdom. What injustice? Even if she is tortured in front of everyone, made to lose all her face, and then killed in front of the world, it would be fair." Liu Feng declared.
There were murmurs among the entire crowd, but the excitement had long died down. Everyone was trying to think calmly now.
"Brother Yan. I think that I will take you up on your offer. Here is the pill that Master Mu has given me. As you know, Master Mu has given me a Xiantian Advancement Pill for winning the pill meet. Now, it is yours." Liu Feng emphasised on the last part once more, and he handed a jade box to Ding Yan.
"Thank you so much, brother Tian. Thank you so much, Master Mu. With this, I will have an easier time to get to the Xiantian stage. And anyways, the disrespect that the Gu family has shown me has already remained. It seems like they think they are unparalleled in this world. The Gu family is not the only alchemy family in the kingdom, yet they dare to act like the biggest." Ding Yan said as he pocketed the pill.
"We should calm down here. Why are we fighting so much? We can resolve things peacefully." Master Mu intervened once more.
"I tried to resolve things peacefully, Master Mu. But they refused my offer. So why should I show them any face, Master Mu? Like I said. I can drop all of this as long as I get compensation. And this is my life, so I do not value it cheaply." Liu Feng said.
"What do you want then? Something that I can give." Master Mu sighed.
"It is just that... I have been feeling a little remorseful lately that after so much effort, I have to part with the pill that I made so desperately. The Sage Nine Pill, I mean. If possible, I would like to get that pill back." Liu Feng smiled.
The audience nodded. This was not unreasonable at all. In fact, it was quite tame compared to the other request he had till now.
And what would the pill tower lose? Nothing at all!
"This is a good request, Master Mu! You should give him the pill!" someone shouted from the stands.
No one wanted to see a genius lose his life, and no one wanted this to extend any further.
"Yes, Master Mu. Let us end this right now!" someone else shouted.
"Master Mu. The Gu family will be in debt to you if you can just return the Sage Nine pill to Liu Tian. That is the best ending for all of us. Even Cairin city would not want to see a full on fight, would it?" Uncle Gi looked at Master Mu.
Passively, he was threatening that if this was not done, then Cairin City would face a problem.
Master Mu wryly smiled at Liu Feng.
"You know what this pill is for right? Why do you want to take it from me?" his voice appeared in Liu Feng's head all of a sudden.
"Maybe I'll give it to them myself?" he smiled and said out loud.
