Realms In The Firmament

Master Xiao wanted to put Bu Xiangfeng down so much that he wasn’t reconciled to step back. ‘I know it is not wise to mess with you, and I can show you respect. Well, you should show me respect too, shouldn’t you?’

He wanted to find some words to say and made a compromise with the Monarch’s Hall, but Ye Xiao directly said that he would back Bu Xiangfeng up to the end…

Master Xiao was surprised, and he didn’t know how to end this mess now. ‘What the hell are you doing? Maybe you are one of the Ye Clan, but we are the stronger one right now!’

Master Xiao couldn’t deny what Ye Xiao said, but he just couldn’t endure the humiliation. If he caved now, he would feel disgraced. Bu Xiangfeng had just had a breakthrough. If Master Xiao gave up now, it would look like he was scared by Bu Xiangfeng! Master Xiao couldn’t accept such humiliation!

“Look, this is all about one mistake. It started from a tiny mistake, and that is all.” Ye Xiao disdainfully waved his hand and blandly said, “You know what? I don’t understand why you two had to fight so desperately for some rubbish metals.”

Master Xiao took a breath and tried not to get angry. He said, “Master Ye, are you saying that we are childish?”

Master Xiao wasn’t happy, but he was relaxed. ‘It seems he doesn’t want to fight too…’

‘It means there is still room to turn things over.’

Master Xiao didn’t want to become an enemy to this unpredictable young lord!

What Ye Xiao said sounded too arrogant.

‘Some rubbish metals?’

‘Why don’t you find some rubbish metals like these and show me how rubbish it is!’

Ye Xiao pretended to be surprised and blandly said, “Do you really value the metals that much? Aren’t you just using it as an excuse to make trouble? Come on. This is unexpected to me. It is absurd to make this a big scene just for some metals. I can understand why Bu Xiangfeng likes those metals that much because he is an itinerant cultivator. He doesn’t know as much as you do, does he? Master Xiao, you are a famous person in the world. You are experienced and well-informed… How come…”

Master Xiao’s face turned red. He said loudly, “Those are the Feather Bronze and the Brocade Steel, which haven’t been seen in the world for many years!”

Ye Xiao rolled up his eyes and blandly said, “Do you really value them so much? Did you get any Cosmos Iron yet?”

Master Xiao was shocked.

Ye Xiao slowly raised his head and smiled. “I happen to have all these metals you need. Did you get enough?”

He slightly turned over his hand, and then a piece of Cosmos Iron that was as big as a human head showed up in his hand. The Cosmos Iron was glowing some mysterious lights.

Master Xiao was shocked, and then was overjoyed!

He came to make trouble but ended up finding the metal he needed.

With a piece of Cosmos Iron, he could reforge his vertical bamboo flute!

Once he had a new vertical bamboo flute, his capability of vertical bamboo flute playing would be greatly improved…

The songs that he played would become more powerful.

If the Farewell Sword was half of Bu Xiangfeng’s life, the vertical bamboo flute was also an important part of Master Xiao’s life!

Master Xiao hurriedly said, “Master Ye, you are such a generous person. Thank you for giving me the metal. I will leave with the Cosmos Iron and never come back for Bu Xiangfeng again!”

“Hah hah hah hah…” Ye Xiao was surprised, but then he laughed loudly. He laughed so hard that he almost shed tears. After a while, he said with heavy breaths, “Master Xiao, are you asking me to give you the Cosmos Iron for free? Do you mean I should give you the metal so you will leave me alone? Do you? Really? Hah hah hah…”

Master Xiao’s face turned red.

He glanced at the two young men who came with him. The two men were also looking at him like looking at a fool.

‘Come on, big brother. Can’t you be realistic? We are not taking any advantage in this now. We can’t leave, and we don’t dare to fight. Are you serious? Do you really think you can just ask for that Cosmos Iron?’

‘What is in your mind?’

‘Is your head soaked?’

‘Even if he does give you the Cosmos Iron, do you dare to just take it away?’

‘Aren’t you afraid that you will die when you dare to take it?’

‘You are showing no respect to that young lord at all by asking for the metal! You may get yourself killed!’

‘We two may get killed because of your stupidity! That is so f*cked up!’

“Let our guests go now!” Ye Xiao stopped laughing. With a bland face, he said, “I was going to sell the Cosmos Iron to you so that you can fix your vertical bamboo flute. Well, since you shamelessly asked me to give it to you for free, I don’t think I should help you at all. Guys, let them leave! If they insist to stay, kick them out!”

“Yes, Master!”

Meng Youjiang and his people responded at the same time. Over five hundred men drew out their weapons. The cold lights of the weapons were glittering. Meng Youjiang made a step ahead and said, “Master Xiao, please leave.”

“Wait!” Master Xiao did not want to go at all.

He stared at the metal in Ye Xiao’s hand and said loudly, “Master Ye, we can still talk. I was stupid. I shouldn’t have said those words. I just… The vertical bamboo flute is so important to me… Please, Brother Ye, tell me what you want. We can talk. You wanted to help me, so please show me kindness.”

Ye Xiao blandly said, “I never compensate for anything. There is nothing we can talk!”

Then he turned around to leave.

Master Xiao already got the Brocade Steel and the Feather Bronze. The Cosmos Iron was all he needed to complete the vertical bamboo flute. He had been so worried about it, making all kinds of efforts to find it. Surprisingly, Ye Xiao had it!

He would never leave.

He knew that it was not a good idea to mess with Ye Xiao, but he just couldn’t give up.

“Brother Ye, wait!” Master Xiao took a breath and said, “As you said, the problem that I keep trying to solve means nothing… I am only here to make fun of Brother Bu about it…”

He did not want to cave, but he had to, because he was afraid that he wouldn’t find another piece of that special metal anymore. He was anxious now.
