Chapter 325: 322: The Young Sect Master’s Condition 1
However, Wen Zi overestimated her own beauty and underestimated the baseness of human nature.
Those who pursued her beauty were only willing to pay a price within their tolerance. It seemed that they respected her, but what were they plotting? They were only after Wen Zit s beauty. Who would stand up for Wen Zi if her life was at stake?
Wen Zi didn’t understand this, and even in death, she still believed that someone would be willing to risk their life for her.
Now, after Wen Zi was dragged away, Ming Wenhao waved his hand: “Young friend Yang Chen, Wen Zi deserves to die, that is true. However, it is our Ming Emperor Sect’s fault that we targeted you because of her framing. Now that Wen Zi is dead, I, Ming Wenhao, on behalf of the Ming Emperor Sect, offer these 200,000 Spirit Stones as an apology.”
Yang Chen was originally still angry about the situation, but as Ming Wenhao said, although the matter with Wen Zi was resolved, the issue with the Ming Emperor Sect chasing him was still unsettled. But no matter how angry he was, he didn’t plan to cause trouble on this issue and make any other moves.
But who would have thought that Ming Wenhao would be so tactful, immediately offering the Spirit Stones as an apology.
The master of the Ming Emperor Sect came in person to represent the sect in apologizing, and even if Yang Chen had been angry, most of that anger had now dissipated.
There was nothing to be done.
It was true what they say – you shouldn’t hit someone who’s smiling at you.
Ming Wenhao had put forth a sincere attitude. If he continued to be aggressive, he would seem excessive.
The 200,000 Spirit Stones did make Yang Chen feel much better.
He slowly said: “Senior Ming is indeed very generous, I will accept these Spirit Stones and from now on, there will be no more grievances between me and the
Ming Emperor Sect.”
Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, Elder Qian slapped the young man behind him and shouted, “Young friend Yang Chen is so magnanimous, Wang Wu, you miserable child, come out for your master!”
In a moment, the young man behind him was dragged out by his ear by Elder Qian.
When the young man steadied himself and saw Yang Chen examining him carefully, he immediately shrank back.
Upon closer inspection, wasn’t this young man the same Wang Wu who had mocked Yang Chen just a few days ago?
Yang Chen still remembered clearly that Wang Wu had become arrogant after his stunning performance at the Basic Competition and achieving first-class talent. He had mocked Yang Chen numerous times, and the bitterness in his words was hard to forget.
Later, Yang Chen learned that Wang Wu had joined Elder Qian’s camp, but now Elder Qian had directly brought out his precious protégé Wang Wu.
“What are you looking at, Wang wu? Why aren’t you apologizing to Yang Chen?” Elder Qian shouted. “If you don’t apologize sincerely today, I’ll break your legs!”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly, thinking that his Innate True Qi had really had a remarkable effect. It had at least startled the Ming Emperor Sect into being so nervous, which was something Yang Chen hadn’t expected.
Nowadays, Wang Wu was staring at Yang Chen nervously, without any of the arrogance he had shown before when his talent was assessed.
When he got his first-class talent results, he did indeed become arrogant, thinking he should be the Emperor’s chosen one, not giving a second look to anyone. He thought that Yang Chen, the so-called genius, shouldn’t have been competing with him at the Basic Competition.
He believed that he, Wang Wu, was favored by the heavens.
But now he realized how wrong he had been.
Thinking back to the words he had said to Yang Chen back then, he felt as if he was being slapped in the face.
He was favored by the heavens?
Compared to Yang Chen’s talent, what kind of heaven’s favor had he received?
The most important thing was that he had mocked Yang Chen.
“Yang Chen, please, as a grown-up, don’t hold a grudge against me for a few childish words. I hope you won’t take them to heart,” Wang Wu sighed and finally said, all traces of his previous arrogance gone.
Yang Chen didn’t show any sign of being oppressive, and calmly said, “I see the sincerity of the Ming Emperor Sect.””Since that’s the case, young friend Yang Chen, we, the Ming Emperor Sect, shall take our leave,” Ming Wenhao coughed twice, signaling to his subordinates.
Upon hearing Ming Wenhao’s hint, they followed him out.
After they left, Elder Qian asked out of curiosity, “Sect Leader, aren’t we going to try to win over this Yang Chen? It doesn’t make sense. With Yang Chen’s Innate Divine Body talent, which sect wouldn’t want to compete for him?”
“Hmph, do you think I don’t know that Yang Chen has the talent of an Innate Divine Body?” Ming Wenhao grumbled, “But what’s the use of knowing? It doesn’t help at all. Let’s put aside the incident with Wen Zi for the moment. Even if we don’t have any resentment with Yang Chen at first, do you think Yang Chen would be interested in our Ming Emperor Sect? Do you think the conditions you offered could match that of Mb Båishéng?”
Thinking of Mb Båishéng’s decisiveness, Ming Wenhao couldn’t help but sigh.
Why didn’t he have the courage of Mil Båishéng? If he had seen Yang Chen’s potential earlier and directly offered him the position of Jr. Sect Master, he could have won Yang Chen’s heart. Yang Chen would have definitely considered joining the Ming Emperor Sect then.
But now?
Yang Chen didn’t even have the intention to join the Ming Emperor Sect.
“By now, it’s already good if we can settle the grievances between our Ming Emperor Sect and Yang Chen,” Ming Wenhao said softly, knowing full well the weight of the situation.
Considering Yang Chen’s potential displayed now, it was already good enough for their Ming Emperor Sect to settle their grievances with him. As for winning him over, their Ming Emperor Sect no longer qualified for that.
Just as the Ming Emperor Sect left, a new guest arrived in Yang Chen’s courtyard.
The new guest was none other than the Sect Leader of the Yuanshan Sect, Mb Båishéng.
At this moment, Yang Chen and Mb Båishéng exchanged glances. Yang Chen then smiled slightly, “Senior Mu, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.
Please have a seat.”
Mb Båishéng laughed heartily and sat down. With a calm look in his eyes, he said softly, “Yang Chen, I now understand why you were in no hurry to join my Yuanshan Sect back then. I have seen your talent and performance. To be honest, I think the terms I offered with the position of Jr. Sect Master are low. However, this is already the highest condition that the Yuanshan Sect can offer.”
Yang Chen was not surprised by this. He bowed slightly and said, “Senior, then you should also understand that the reason I showed such an act today is merely to prove that your choice back then was correct. The Sect Leader has already been very generous to me. If I am really dissatisfied, I would have joined Beishan Main City long ago..”
