That's it?
Tie Yuan accepted the ice stone, but still ignored him.
"you--"
Xiao Han resigned himself to his bad luck and had no choice but to pinch his nose and continue scooping out ice stones, forcing himself to swallow the pain and stuffing five more into his hand.
Just ten yuan?
Looking at his shabby appearance, Tie Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Alright, alright, I understand. Our sect leader isn't here. Come back another day!"
"Come another day?!" Xiao Han suddenly raised his voice, attracting the attention of many people around him.
He emptied his savings of ten ice stones, only to be told in return, "Not here today."
That won't do!
"Seeing how persistent you are, I'll kindly remind you that our sect leader will be away for the next few days. You can come back in six days. Judging from your appearance... you don't seem like a martial artist born and raised in Flying Whirlpool City. You must be a disciple of some sect, here to hunt down the remnants of the Demonic Sect, right? You've done a good deed, so I won't make things difficult for you."
Taking away ten ice stones from him for no reason, isn't that making things difficult?
Xiao Han wanted to lash out, but suddenly realized that Tie Yuan's cultivation was stronger than his, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Well, the auction is in ten days, and he can wait six days.
But when he finally returned to Shengyan Pavilion after six days of torment and anticipation, Tieyuan gave him the same answer he had given six days earlier.
"Don't push your luck!"
Even a clay figure has some earthy spirit. After being repeatedly tricked, Xiao Han could no longer tolerate it!
His spiritual power erupted, and his aura was much stronger than it had been six days ago. He had actually broken through to the True Soul Realm!
Tie Yuan's pupils contracted slightly; he hadn't expected this kid to be so talented.
If they really were to fight, he might not be the one to ultimately win.
Moreover, Tieyuan didn't want to get injured because of a job.
But simply letting Xiao Han in like that is clearly not an option.
He shuddered at the thought of the young powerhouse's warning.
After much deliberation, Tieyuan chose a compromise.
"Hehe, young man, you've got quite a temper. How about this, you stay here for fifteen minutes while I go up and report to them, how about that?"
"I knew you were lying to me!"
Xiao Han was even angrier!
Su Kun was clearly there, but this bastard insisted he wasn't!
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll go."
With a forced smile, Tie Yuan went to the top floor of the pavilion, where a middle-aged man in blue robes stood, holding bamboo slips. He asked impatiently, "Where is he? Did you send him away?"
"Master, that kid just won't leave, and he even wants to fight me in public!"
Tie Yuan quickly complained, "I told him you didn't want to see him, but he just wouldn't listen! He insisted on seeing you with his own eyes!"
"What a piece of trash!"
Su Kun gave him a cold look.
"If you can't even handle this little thing, what use are you to me!"
Then, he snorted coldly and said indifferently, "It is true that my ancestors had a close relationship with Elder Xue, and my ancestor was indeed a man who cared about friendship. But this kid doesn't even think about how many years have passed! He still has the audacity to come here to seek protection!"
"If we offend that young master because of this brat, will our Shengyan Pavilion have a good future?"
"Yes, yes, you're right, that's what I think too!"
Tie Yuan quickly echoed.
"Then now..."
“This kid is just as stubborn as his master who died young. I don’t think he’ll give up until he sees me. I don’t want someone like him to tarnish the reputation of our Shengyan Pavilion. So, put him up here and I’ll talk to him myself.”
"Yes, I understand."
Tie Yuan tidied himself up and went downstairs, saying, "Young man, the sect leader wants you to come upstairs and have a personal talk with him."
"Heh, what did I tell you?"
Xiao Han sneered, his expression carrying a hint of petty triumph.
"I must have a serious talk with Pavilion Master Su about the times you repeatedly obstructed me!"
Tie Yuan rolled his eyes.
Xiao Han walked all the way to the top floor. Looking at the tall figure in blue robes, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "You must be Pavilion Master Su, right? It just so happens that I have come to your pavilion today on the orders of my master. I wonder if Pavilion Master Su still remembers my master's name?"
Su Kun chuckled twice, his expression ambiguous.
“Disciple, we have come here seeking refuge. Please try to restrain your attitude.”
"Master, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Han smiled disdainfully. "According to you, their ancestor still owes you a life! It's just right to repay it to me. I don't believe that Su Kun is a heartless demonic bastard!"
Su Kun slowly turned around, his icy gaze instantly locking onto him.
Immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling cold swept over me.
Xiao Han frowned, realizing something was wrong.
The next second, Su Kun waved his hand, and his domineering spiritual power slammed into Xiao Han. Xiao Han's body flew backward and crashed into the cold wall of Shengyan Pavilion.
"You bastard! Where did you come from, you bastard, daring to bark at me like that!"
"Su Kun! You ungrateful wretch! Don't forget, your ancestor still owes my master a life! If I were to spread the word about what happened today, hmph..."
Xiao Han clutched his chest in disbelief, unable to believe that Su Kun had actually attacked him!
"Repay a debt of gratitude? Ridiculous, what debt of gratitude do I need to repay?"
Su Kun looked disdainful.
"I never imagined that Li Hanxue, who died so young, could have his soul linger in the world for nearly a thousand years!"
"Let me tell you! The kindness shown to you by your master belongs to my ancestor, and has absolutely nothing to do with me, Su Kun! I will not waste my own spirit stones to support a good-for-nothing like you!"
"Useless? You dare call me useless?"
Xiao Han stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Since he awakened the Cold Ling Holy Body, no one has dared to call him a waste!
I'll shove you—
"Xiao Han, that's enough!"
The illusory figure of Elder Xue slowly appeared in mid-air. He looked at Su Kun opposite him and sighed deeply.
“Young man, you’re right. In fact, if I hadn’t been driven to the brink, I would never have presumptuously sent Xiao Han to your intelligence agency to repay this debt of gratitude from a thousand years ago.”
"But you can't be so heartless. I admit that Xiao Han disrespected you, so it's understandable that you hit him."
"But my thousand-year friendship with Su Peng cannot be faked. I earnestly request your help to get Xiao Han through this difficult time! When I rebuild my physical body in the future, I will surely repay you handsomely!"
Su Kun's expression softened slightly.
He glanced at the earnest-looking Elder Xue and waved his sleeve.
"I'm sorry, but I still refuse."
"Considering that you, old man, are at least reasonable, I'll reluctantly offer this little bastard a word of advice."
"Think carefully about who you offended in the past."
What?
Xiao Han immediately fell asleep again.
"What do you mean? I, Xiao Han, have always been upright and honest, and I act with caution. How could I offend people indiscriminately? If I have offended anyone, it would be the remnants of the rampant demonic sects!"
"Could it be that you were threatened by those remnants of the demonic sect?"
