Chapter 5967: Just Fills Up My Pocket Unnecessarily

“Thank you for your kind intention, Saint Child.” Radiant Master bowed slightly in return.

“Six-step Saint Child.” Incense Daoist didn’t seem to welcome him.

The youth saw everyone else and only greeted Edge Mountain Crone: “So you are here too, Senior Edge Mountain.”

The king himself treated her with respect yet he was only being polite at best. He naturally didn’t give a damn about Incense Daoist and especially not a mortal such as Li Qiye.

“Six-step Saint Child, how is the Grand Emperor doing?” Edge Mountain Crone returned the greeting.

“Thank you for asking, Senior. The emperor is doing well.” His tone became more polite once this was brought up.

He came from Ancient Step, the strongest lineage outside of Splendor. Both Insane Gate and Resting Bull were utterly inferior.

Although Ancient Step couldn’t compare to the three dynasties, it would have no problem destroying minor sects. Rumor has it their Stone Aegis Progenitor was still alive, not to mention Beneficence Grand Emperor. The latter alone only needed one hand wave to destroy Insane Gate and Resting Bull.

“Valley Lord, my master has nothing but praises for you. Please come with me back to Ancient Step and I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to solve your problem.” Six-step repeated, causing Radiant Master to frown.

His master, Sky Step King, was a suitor who had been refused before. Visiting Ancient Step had negative consequences.

Moreover, the disparity in power meant they had all the negotiating advantages against her sect.

“Saint Child, that’s too early to say. We are willing to help Radiant Longevity, we just need more time.” Furious Wind Saber King joined the conversation.

He bowed toward Radiant Master and said: “Give us a bit more time, Valley Lord, we want to help.”

It seemed he was an admirer as well, albeit not as open about his feelings.

“Thank you, Saber King.” She bowed back.

“Saber King, how much more time will you need? I don’t think the valley lord can wait that long.” Six-step snorted: “Valley Lord, you just need to see my master and everything will be fine.”

Furious Wind found himself in a tough position. He certainly wanted to help her but couldn’t decide by himself due to the enormous sum. 

The arrogant brat annoyed him. He was superior in terms of status and power but Ancient Step was just too powerful. 

Radiant Master couldn’t help staring at Furious Wind. She wanted to pick Insane Gate over Ancient Step because it was easier to invite a god than get one to leave.

Being in debt with Ancient Step could be rather problematic for her sect. Insane Gate, on the other hand, was part of the alliance.

“How much do you need?” Li Qiye asked.

She couldn’t answer the sudden question right away.

“Are you going to lend her the sum? Do you know what chaos refined jades are? They’re not gold ingots, haha!” Six-step burst out in laughter after listening to the silly mortal.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Fifty million.” Radiant Master answered but had no hope.

This was an enormous sum for anyone. Resting Bull might have had it but their sect master refused.

She came to Insane Gate with the same call for support. The king here wanted to help her but didn’t have the refined jades.  Insane Gate itself needed more time to decide.

“Brat, did you hear that, fifty million chaos refined jades, not fifty million gold pieces. The world of cultivators isn’t meant for an insect like you, step aside.” Six-step glared at him.

He didn’t have this many jades but his master did, hence his invitation to Radiant Master. If he could bring the two together, it would be a great contribution.

“I don’t have fifty million jades.” Li Qiye smiled.

“I appreciate the intent, Young Noble.” Radiant Master responded, aware of the mission’s difficulty.

No one here could muster this sum and only a few in a large sect such as Ancient Step could do so.

“Hahaha, just five hundred jades is enough to last you and your descendants for generations to come, let alone fifty million jades.” Six-step said.

“What I meant to say was, this kind of junk just fills up my pocket unnecessarily.” Li Qiye answered indifferently.

The casual remark took the saint child and the king by surprise.

“A big talker, I see. So ignorant, I doubt you can muster five jades.” Six-step sneered.
