Chapter 1534: What to Do?
Ye Xiao heard the name Shui Zhongliu, but he was still calm. He had to stay calm and look arrogant, since he truly had no idea who the two men were. He only remembered that these two names were on the ranking list. He slightly nodded and blandly said, âOh, I see. That is surprisingâŚâ
That was a casual response.
The two men and all the others were surprised.
âCome on, chief. They are two truly influential figures in the world. Canât you at least show some reaction? Surprising sounds like a compliment⌠but it is more like you have found something interesting⌠That is not a compliment at allâŚâ
âYou want something from me, then you must follow my rules.â Ye Xiao nodded and said, âIf you donât want to follow my rules, you can go. It makes no difference to me.â
Master Xiao asked, âWhat do you want? I will do my best.â
Ye Xiao smiled and pointed up two fingers. âFirst, two hundred thousand purple spirit coins. No bargain.â
Master Xiaoâs pretty face twisted.
That was four times the reasonable price! That was only the first⌠There were going to be the second, the third, and the fourthâŚ
âDo I look like pork on your plate?â
Master Xiao tried not to be angry. In a cold voice, he said, âI guess there is a second. May I ask what it is?â
âThat is simple. I heard that you are good at playing good songs. Your performance could benefit all cultivatorsâŚâ Ye Xiao smiled, âI will gather my men, and you will play a song for us all. That should be an easy job for you!â
Master Xiao widely opened his eyes and said, âWhat?â
Even people of the Monarchâs Hall were shocked by what Ye Xiao just said.
They never thought that he would ask for something that valuable.
âCome on, the young master is here to make trouble! Why would he help all the people in the Monarchâs Hall improve cultivation capability?â
âIs it really an easy job?⌠This is too much!â
Master Xiao looked pretty cold. He blandly said, âDo you know how hard it is for me to play a song? Do you know how much one has to pay to listen to my performance?â
Master Xiao was being frank.
âYou should know how much you are asking for. Two hundred thousand purple spirit coins for one piece of Cosmos Iron, I can endure it. Do you know how much my performance is worth?â
Well, after what he said, people in the Monarchâs Hall were all angry.
âDo you think you are really that valuable?â
âYou are just a vertical bamboo flute playerâŚâ
âYes. You have played for the people in the five royal cities. So what? It wonât change the fact that you are just a vertical bamboo flute player!â
âDo you really think it matters to us?â
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled. He said, âI do not know how much it costs for your performance. I donât care. I know one thing. If you donât do it, you wonât get the Cosmos Iron!â
He smiled and said, âThat is not all. I promise. If I want, you are not going to get the Cosmos Iron in any other places except the five royal cities. No matter how much you pay, you canât buy it! Do you believe me?â
âI will make sure nobody sells Cosmos Iron to you, not even if you would like to pay billions of purple spirit coins.â
Ye Xiao half-closed his eyes and said, âWell, if you find some, you wonât get it. Oh, and I am sure that you will have to spend thousands of years to find it.â
Master Xiao was shaking because of anger. âYou are bullying! This is too much!â
Ye Xiao indifferently smiled and said, âWhat is this? Do you mean there is no deal here? Well, you can leave now. Goodbye!â
âDid I mean that? No! I didnât! I was just complaining⌠I didnât say no!â
Ye Xiao turned around and said in a low voice to the others, âSend my message back to the clan. The Cosmos IronâŚâ
Master Xiao had spent so much on the Brocade Steel and the Feather Bronze. One piece of Cosmos Iron was all he needed. How could he give up now? If this young Master Ye sent the message back to the Ye Clan, nobody in the world would dare to give him any Cosmos Iron!
There might be people who dared to mess with Ye Hongchen, but nobody wanted to mess with Ye Hongchen for Master Xiao!
Ye Clan had vanished for one hundred thousand years, and it was time for the Ye Clan to return!
Nobody dared to mess with the Ye Clan at this moment!
Maybe the Ye Clan was going to start a war in the world.
Master Xiao seemed to understand the point. He thought Ye Xiao was trying to find an excuse to build the Ye Clanâs authorityâŚ
âWhy would I be the target? No!â
Therefore, he didnât dare to make any reckless move.
âI promise. I will give you both what you want!â Master Xiao said, âHowever, Brother Ye, there is a questionâŚâ
âYou have said yes. What question do you have?â Ye Xiao asked.
âI do have a question, please⌠You want me to play that song, and I will. However, I need to have a good vertical bamboo flute first⌠Otherwise, it wonât work. Moreover, I can only play that song once in a year. If I play it for the second time in one year, I will die with all my Jing and Mai drainedâŚâ
Master Xiao was being honest.
He was so humble and sincere that he nearly cut out his heart to show Ye Xiao his honesty.
âSo? What do you think you should do?â Ye Xiao frowned and asked Master Xiao.
Master Xiao frowned and didnât know the answer either.
âWhat should I do? If I know what to do, I will just tell you what I should do!â
âThis is clear. I need the last piece of metal for my vertical bamboo flute. I need it. I wonât give it up. I canât.â

âBut it seems we canât get a deal now.â
âI canât force you to give me the metalâŚâ
He thought that messing with Ye Xiao would bring himself to death. That was why he didnât dare to start the fight.
All in all, he had no idea what to do next. There was nothing he could think of that would bring benefits to both sides, so he was pretty anxious.
