Chapter 290
From Ye Feng's perspective, it was already the limit for a student from the countryside Lei Zhou city to pay five hundred gold coins in one go.
So, since Ye Feng was willing to compensate everyone, everyone stopped pursuing the matter. Instead, they felt that he was generous.
Then, all of their gazes shifted towards Yao Chong.
"Spiritual Master Yao, look at this gold coin..."
500 gold coins. If Yao Chong were to really take it, it would definitely be a hot topic.
It's hard for people to say anything, no matter how many points they have, there will be people who will be dissatisfied.
Yao Chong naturally wasn't an idiot. He licked his lips and coldly said, "A bunch of useless things. Merely five hundred gold coins and I've already bought all of you."
"Who do you think is useless?" Ye Wen's expression became serious. "Could it be that as a Spiritual Master of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, one can slander the personality of others as one pleases?"
Yao Chong had originally just said it casually, but now that Ye Feng asked him in such a serious manner, his tone became even more serious. The feeling he had when he said it, was completely different.
"That's not what I meant, stop talking nonsense."
"Then what do you mean? Zi Feng is stupid. I don't know if there is some deeper meaning behind your words …"
Ye Feng paused for a moment, and then smiled, "Spiritual Master Yao, to you, five hundred gold coins is but a few bottles of pills and a magic treasure. Ye Feng paused for a moment, and then smiled," Spiritual Master Yao, to you, five hundred gold coins is only a few bottles of pills and a magic treasure.
Yao Zhenren stared blankly at Ye Feng. It was hard to imagine that such words came out of the mouth of a twenty year old youth.
He turned his head and slowly walked a few steps towards the crowd.
"Therefore, I respect everyone's wishes and do not have the intention to insult you with gold coins. If you insist on punishing me, I, Ye Feng, will not complain. You can all capture me at the Spiritual Martial Sect and wait for my orders."
His words were spoken in an incomparably magnanimous manner. Even if it was Yao Chong, if he didn't have any personal grudges with him, he would have stopped because of this.
Sure enough, after everyone looked at each other, they began discussing.
"What do you guys think?"
"I feel that he might have really done it unintentionally. We have no enmity with him. There is no need to force him into a place like the Spirit Martial Sect where people would die …"
"That's right, and even if we punish him, it won't do us any good. We might as well just take some gold coins, not to mention, I can use this opportunity to come to the Celestial Sect of Wonders to observe. I might even have to thank Ye Feng."
After some discussion, someone finally stood out and made a decision.
"Ye Feng, we have decided. We accept the compensation of five hundred gold coins. Let's drop this matter."
"Deal," Ye Feng smiled.
In his heart, this was not a compensation, it was just a transaction.
A moment later, he condensed a stream of spiritual energy from his palm and carefully held it, placing the five hundred gold coins in front of Yao Chong.
"Who told you to give this gold coin to me …" Yao Chong unhappily scolded.
Ye Feng didn't ask for his opinion and just sent it over with spiritual qi, causing Yao Chong to feel awkward.
If he accepted the gold coins, it would mean that he had agreed to Ye Feng's suggestion and could no longer pursue the matter.
However, if he didn't accept the gold coins, the people behind Yao Chong would gossip about him and it might even affect his reputation in the future.
"Spiritual Master Yao, there isn't any deep hatred between us. In the end, it's just because of those 1800 gold coins."
Listening to his words, Yao Chong became extremely angry, "It's just what you said. It's easy to say. One thousand and eight hundred gold coins. Could it be that it's a small sum?"
Ye Feng smiled lightly and said loudly, "Then, Spiritual Master Yao, can you put aside our personal grudges? Now, let's do this official business."
When everyone heard this, they gathered into small groups and began pointing at Yao Chong.
"What do I take it for? So the two of them have a personal grudge …"
"Sigh... "Then let's not get involved. Personal grudges have nothing to do with us."
"That's right, why don't we disperse ourselves?"
"Alright, let's disperse. Everyone disperse."
When they heard that there was a personal feud between the two, they immediately lost their interest in watching it. Then, they walked out of the Martial Spirit Palace and went back the way they came.
After all, no one wanted to get involved with matters of personal grudges as they couldn't explain it clearly.
"Daoist Master Zhao, I apologize for disturbing you today. We are leaving."
"Farewell."
Yao Chong saw that some of them were leaving the room and became a little anxious, "Wait, don't leave. Didn't you guys not take the gold from Ye Feng's side?"
"... "No need, even if I get the five hundred gold coins, there won't be much left. I might as well leave first."
In the Martial Spirit Palace, other than some people who were looking forward to get the gold coins, the others had already left.
"Hey, don't go. I told you all to stay."
Watching the departing figures of the crowd, Yao Chong's heart turned increasingly cold.
He thought for a while and was surprised. He then reacted. "Ye Feng, I finally understand. You were just trying to trick me to say this, weren't you …"
He had not spoken of personal grudges earlier or later, and had insisted on speaking of them at that time …
He really didn't believe that Ye ZIfeng didn't do it on purpose …
Ye Feng smiled, but didn't comment.
"Alright, Yao Zhenren. If there's nothing else, please bring some gold coins with you. Please go back."
Ye Feng pointed to the door and made a "please" gesture.
"You …" Yao Chong was stunned as he looked at him in disbelief. Imagine how many students in the Celestial Sect of Wonders would dare to use such a tone to speak to a real person.
"I'm guessing that whoever becomes your master will be angered to the point of vomiting blood."
"So, for the time being, I don't have a master."
Ye Feng smiled plainly. It was obvious that he did not care about his master at all.
"As the saying goes, a teacher leads a student through the door. Cultivation depends on one person."
There was no need for him to enter the sect for now …
Moreover, once he became a disciple of a master, then it would be very unfair. There were many things that needed to be done on the face of others; even if he wanted to leave the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it would not be an easy task.
This was also the biggest reason why he didn't acknowledge the Celestial Sect of Wonders as his master.
"Okay, Ye Feng, I'm warning you, I've remembered what happened today. From now on, you'd better pray that you don't run into me anywhere else. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson."
"Alright, let's go."
Yao Chong snorted coldly. He led the remaining people who wanted to split the gold coins and walked out of the Martial Spirit Palace.
The Martial Spirit Palace finally became peaceful again.
Liu Bing Qian stared at Ye Feng, her beautiful eyes flashed with surprise: "Big brother barbarian, they just left like that."
Earlier, when Yao Chong came to the Martial Spirit Palace to denounce his crimes, Ye Feng used 500 gold coins to deal with him. This was truly unexpected.
Ye Feng laughed lightly, "It's not a big deal to begin with. It's just that Yao Chong was blinded by his hatred and thought that this is a good opportunity to get back at Ye Ci."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Moreover, he still wants to ask about my crime. You must know, I haven't even used the relationship between Elder Zhao and myself. If it wasn't for the awakening of the Martial Spirit's storm, it would be better to have less troubles. Otherwise, how could I let him go so easily?"
As he said the last sentence, his eyes shone with a cold light that made people tremble in fear.
Since Elder Zhao did not want to let that Daoist Master go so easily, then what was he trying to do? Elder Zhao's disciples thought for a moment, then when they looked at Ye Feng, all of their expressions changed.
Elder Zhao sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Stinky brat, look at you. No matter where you go, you can create all kinds of trouble. This time, you actually lured them to my Martial Spirit Palace."
Ye Feng laughed, "Doesn't this mean that Elder Zhao and I are on good terms?"
Ever since he had rarely used his spiritual will, Ye Feng did not care about what others said, he could communicate with Elder Zhao however he wanted.
After all, there was no small amount of people who knew that the two of them were related to one another. It would be futile even if they kept it hidden. It would be better to be generous than to be suspected.
"Come on, who's on good terms with you? Brat, you talk to yourself every time you see one." Elder Zhao's expression changed slightly and even his voice became agitated once again.
He paused for a moment. "Besides, it's not a good thing for someone to come from your side."
The others, who were used to seeing Elder Zhao's dignified and solemn appearance, couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the conversation between Elder Zhao and Ye Feng. They thought that Elder Zhao had changed into a different person.
"Master..."
From their point of view, the two of them, one old and one young, originally should not have had much in common, but now it seemed that they were old acquaintances.
They naturally did not think that Ye Feng had already gotten to know Elder Zhao when he was still at the Qi Refining stage and participating in the Heaven Stairway Great Assembly.
Moments later, Elder Zhao sighed: "Sigh … …" "I really don't know what will happen to you tomorrow's Martial Spirit Awakening Storm."
Ye Feng's eyes focused, "Speaking of the martial soul awakening storm … …" Elder Zhao, on account of Qing Xuan, Starlight, and myself, do you have anything to say?
