"You... just what do you want, to agree to save me?"
Elder Ding's face was somewhat unsightly.
She was a lofty Elder of the Xiaoyao Pavilion!
Yet this brat dared to speak to her in such a tone!
Except, at this moment, she found that she actually fully believed Ye Yunfei's words.
She even felt that this youth before her really could save her!
"First, have him kneel down and kowtow to apologize to me."
Ye Yunfei pointed at Qin An.
"Impossible!"
Qin An was furious.
"Ye Yunfei, I advise you to know when to stop! Do you think I truly don't dare to kill you?"
Killing intent radiated from Elder Ding as she locked onto Ye Yunfei, wishing she could blast him to pieces with one palm.
"You can certainly try.
But kill me, and you'll be buried along with me."
Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
"This old nun recruited you into the Xiaoyao Pavilion; she has recognized your talent and shown you favor.
Now, her life is in danger. If you kneel and apologize, she has a chance of being saved.
Do you have the heart to simply watch her die in a year or so?
Truly a treacherous wolf cub.
Who knows if recruiting someone as cold-hearted and ungrateful as you is a blessing or a curse for the Xiaoyao Pavilion."
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept over Qin An as he shook his head and spoke.
"Ye Yunfei, you're talking nonsense!"
Qin An was so angry flames seemed to erupt from him.
"My patience is limited.
I'll count to ten. If you don't do as I say, then don't even think about me saving you.
One, two, three..."
Ye Yunfei said flatly.
Hearing Ye Yunfei count, Elder Ding's breathing began to quicken.
"Qin An, kneel! Apologize to Ye Yunfei!"
When Ye Yunfei counted to nine, she finally made her choice and shouted.
After all, nothing was more important than her own life!
"Elder Ding..."
Qin An's expression changed dramatically as he looked at Elder Ding unwillingly.
"For my sake today, you must endure this humiliation.
Kneel! Apologize to Ye Yunfei!"
Elder Ding took a deep breath, her attitude extremely resolute.
The atmosphere on the arena instantly turned stiff.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Qin An.
The elders from the other three sects just stood by watching the show.
Qin An was already a disciple of the Xiaoyao Pavilion.
Therefore, there was no need for them to speak up for him.
Finally, Qin An walked before Ye Yunfei, thudding down to his knees, and kowtowed three times in succession.
"Ye Yunfei, I'm sorry."
Qin An said through gritted teeth, his tone brimming with boundless resentment.
The entire plaza fell deathly silent!
Everyone looked at Ye Yunfei with shocked gazes.
Many martial artists even began to secretly admire Ye Yunfei.
After all, Qin An was now the personal disciple of the Master of the Xiaoyao Pavilion. Ye Yunfei actually had a way to force him to kneel!
"Ye Yunfei, are you satisfied now? Next, you'd better be able to solve my body's problem. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Elder Ding's sharp gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as she spoke word by word.
"Oh? Are you threatening me? Because of that threat, you must pay an additional 150,000 Spirit Crystals for me to save you."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Ye Yunfei, don't push your luck!"
Elder Ding shouted sternly. Her killing intent towards Ye Yunfei was almost uncontrollable.
"Now, circulate the Spiritual Qi within your body along the Ren Meridian for three full cycles, then follow the Dai Meridian in reverse for three cycles. Finally, direct the flow to the Yongquan points in both your feet."
Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke.
Elder Ding was first stunned, but then actually did as Ye Yunfei instructed.
Immediately afterwards, her expression transformed into one of wild joy.
After circulating her Spiritual Qi along the route Ye Yunfei described, her entire body immediately erupted with an indescribably cool and comfortable sensation.
It felt as if she had lightened up a hundred times.
She even discovered that her fluctuating hot-and-cold physique had improved considerably!
In this moment, she believed it!
"Fine. 150,000 Spirit Crystals. I agree."
Elder Ding clenched her teeth.
"No, it's 200,000 Spirit Crystals now. Not a single one less."
Ye Yunfei said flatly.
"You..."
Elder Ding almost exploded.
Another 50,000 Spirit Crystals added in the blink of an eye!
This was practically daylight robbery!
Wheeze... Wheeze...
Elder Ding's breathing became incredibly ragged, like a bellows.
"Alright, 200,000 Spirit Crystals. I agree."
In the end, Elder Ding, gnashing her teeth, nodded her agreement.
She knew her life was in someone else's hands; she didn't have much room to bargain.
As an Elder of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, 200,000 Spirit Crystals, though she could barely manage it, was still like taking a huge chunk of her wealth.
"But... I only have 100,000 Spirit Crystals on me right now."
Elder Ding said.
"Fine. I'll give you half a month.
Within fifteen days, gather the money, and I'll help you solve your problem."
Ye Yunfei appeared quite generous.
"Qin An, let's go."
Elder Ding didn't wish to stay a moment longer.
"Ye Yunfei, you'll soon understand that your little bit of physical strength is nothing before me, Qin An—merely a joke!
I, Qin An, will always be an existence you need to look up to!"
At this moment, Qin An had regained his arrogant demeanor. Looking at Ye Yunfei, the corner of his mouth curled into a hint of disdain.
Then he turned, preparing to follow Elder Ding away.
"Wait.
Do you really think a Heavenly Spirit Body is so amazing? Do you think that my cultivation of Spiritual Qi must necessarily be inferior to yours?
Hah, fine. Now, I'll let you broaden your horizons."
Just as Elder Ding was about to leave the arena with Qin An, Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, both Elder Ding and Qin An halted.
They looked towards Ye Yunfei.
The elders from the other three sects also looked at Ye Yunfei with doubtful gazes.
"Miss Xiao."
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted towards the crowd.
Xiao Chuchu immediately stepped out from the throng with Huang Lao in tow and walked onto the arena.
"Xiao Chuchu, it's you!"
Elder Ding's expression changed.
The other three sect elders were also extremely surprised.
These four elders all knew of Xiao Chuchu's identity and status within the Lingzhen Pavilion.
It could be said that Xiao Chuchu's background was far greater than that of these four elders!
"Miss Xiao, lend me some of the Spirit Crystals, medicinal herbs, and pills you have on you that aid in boosting Spiritual Qi.
The more, the better.
Don't worry, I'll repay you double."
Ye Yunfei said to Xiao Chuchu.
"No problem.
As if I'd be afraid that Young Master Ye wouldn't repay me."
Xiao Chuchu smiled.
On her hand was a spatial ring.
With a flick of her spatial ring, a huge pile of Spirit Crystals cascaded down, piling up like a small hill on the arena.
At the same time, there were also a small number of precious medicinal herbs and pills.
"Miss Xiao, please stand guard for me."
Ye Yunfei said.
He trusted Xiao Chuchu.
"Alright. Young Master Ye, rest assured, with me here no one dares touch you."
Xiao Chuchu nodded.
At the same time, she felt somewhat curious, not knowing what Ye Yunfei intended to do.
"Good!
I'd like to see what kind of horizons a trash like you can show me!"
Qin An sneered as he looked at Ye Yunfei.
He was convinced that physical strength was Ye Yunfei's sole strong point.
In terms of Spiritual Qi cultivation, it was impossible for Ye Yunfei to compare to him.
