Chapter 25 - Su Xianmei
Chapter 27 of "The Unparalleled Sword Emperor" begins with suspenseful moments: âMy God!ââHow did Lin Bai manage to kill so many demon beasts!ââOne, two, fiveâŚninety, one... Donât miss it!
âMy God!â
âHow did Lin Bai manage to kill so many demon beasts!â
âOne, two, fiveâŚninety, one hundred and fifty!â
âThere are actually a full one hundred and fifty.â
âAnd these demon beasts, they are all between the fourth level of Martial Arts and the eighth level!â
âWhen did this useless Lin Bai become so powerful?â
âStrange, wasnât he considered a waste?â
Lin Bai took out so many demon beast corpses, it scared the people around him.
So many demon beasts, they hadnât even seen, let alone killed.
âThis, this, thisâŚâ Ai Linâs beautiful eyes were startled for a long while before she could react.
Ye Rulong stared at the stacked mountain-like demon beast corpses as if he had seen a ghost, saying, âThis is impossible, this is impossible, how can you kill an eighth level demon beast; you are a waste, you are a waste.â
âYou neednât worry about how I killed these demon beasts.
Either way, theyâre here now,â Lin Bai said.
âAi Lin, give me a price.â
Lin Bai smiled lightly.
âWith so many demon beasts, I need to get a few sisters to help me.
Only after weâve counted clear can I give you a quote,â Ai Lin said.
âOkay, you do that,â Lin Bai nodded.
Indeed, with so many demon beasts, Ai Lin alone wouldnât be able to count them all.
âNo need, a total of one hundred fifty demon beasts, our Treasure Pavilion will take them for three thousand spiritual stones.â
Just when Ai Lin was about to go find some help, a woman who looked like a fairy appeared on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
This woman, wearing a red cheongsam, with lips like blood, had slender and beautiful eyes.
Her skin was smooth and snow-white.
When she appeared, four words sprung up in everyoneâs mind: Truly beautiful.
âThree thousand, just three thousand.
How does the young master feel about this?
âThe beautiful woman in the cheongsam walked in front of Lin Bai and said with a light laugh.
Even though there were many demon beasts, Lin Bai knew that they were definitely not worth three thousand.
Why did this woman in a cheongsam appear and directly make an outrageous purchase offer?
Before Lin Bai could answer, Ye Rulong shouted angrily, âWhat kind of rogue are you, daring to mess around with pricesâdo these things even worth three thousand spiritual stones?â
âHumph, behaving outrageously in front of me, let me tell you, youâve caused a lot of trouble today.
I am the young master of the Ye family.â
Hearing Ye Rulongâs words, Lin Bai inwardly cursed him for being an idiot.
This woman, being able to come down from the second floor, clearly had an extraordinary status.
This fool, Ye Rulong, was actually daring to provoke herâwasnât this just seeking death?
Upon hearing this, Ai Lin immediately shouted angrily, âYou are the rogue here.
This is our Treasure Pavilionâs branch shopkeeper, Su Xianmei, one of the eighteen Elders of the Treasure Pavilion!â
âYe Rulong, if you dare to speak like this, not just you, your entire Ye family wonât be able to survive.â
Ai Lin scolded angrily.
Ai Linâs angry reprimand scared Ye Rulong out of his wits.
He hastily fell to his knees and begged for mercy, âMaster Su, spare me.
Master Su, spare me.
Iâve been speaking nonsense.
I am blind.
Please forgive me, Master Su.â
smiled, gave Ye Rulong a faint glance, and then lost interest.
âLittle one, what do you think, three thousand spiritual stones okay?â Su Xianmei asked Lin Bai with a smile.
âWell, all right then, three thousand it is,â Lin Bai agreed.
Ai Lin glared at kneel-down Ye Rulong, barked, âNow get out of here.â
âYes, yes, Iâll get out, Iâll get out right away.â Ye Rulong said, as if granted amnesty.
âHold on, you havenât done the kowtow yet,â Lin Bai grinned.
âIâve brought out three thousand spiritual stones now, Ye Rulong.
Isnât it time for you to kowtow to me?â
Lin Bai stared at Ye Rulong and said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Rulong immediately clenched his teeth and said, âLin Bai, donât push your luck!â
âYou insisted on bullying me.
Now, itâs time for me to bully you.
Kowtow to me, or you wonât be able to leave the Treasure Pavilion!â Lin Bai said with a cold smile.
âYou!â
Ye Rulong fumed, pointing at Lin Bai, trembling with anger.
Shu Xianmei laughed and said: âSince there was an agreement, it should be implemented accordingly.
Young Master Ye, surely youâre not a sore loser.â
âIâŚâ Ye Rulongâs face distorted with rage.
Whether to kowtow or not, either way was not ideal for him.
A surge of indignation roiled in his heart, causing Ye Rulong to spit blood on the spot.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ye Rulong knelt and bowed his head three times in lightning-fast succession to Lin Bai: âLin Bai, remember, I will make you pay a hundred times over for todayâs humiliation.â
âHeh heh, Iâll be waiting.â Lin Bai snorted coldly.
Lin Bai held no affection for Ye Rulong.
Ye Rulong was an undisputed spoiled brat, squandering his familyâs wealth, wildly enjoying life and exploiting his own townspeople.
Ye Rulong left the Treasure Pavilion enraged.
âThank you for your generosity, Pavilion Master Su.â Lin Bai thanked Su Xianmei with fists clasped together.
âNo worries, I also find Ye Rulongâs arrogance intolerable and also wanted to befriend someone like you.â Su Xianmei said with an indifferent smile.
As Su Xianmei smiled, her charm was irresistible.
Many martial artists within the Treasure Pavilion were smitten.
âI am just an unknown youngster, and I do not see what there is about me that makes me worth befriending.â Lin Bai modestly shook his head and laughed.
âThough you were obscure in Lingxi City, you caused a great stir in the Qingling Mountain range.â Su Xianmei responded with a smile.
âHeh heh.â
Lin Bai touched his nose, instantly realizing the truth.
When it came to gathering information, probably nobody in Lingxi City could compare to the Treasure Pavilion.
Anything that happened within a radius of ten thousand li from Lingxi City, the Treasure Pavilion would be the first to know.
A young man made the reigning hegemony of the prestigious Qingling Mountain Range, the Qingtian Alliance, meet their downfall; this was huge news in Lingxi City.
The Treasure Pavilion naturally had the first scoop on this information about the young man.
âSo, Pavilion Master Su, now that youâve given the Embroidered Sword to our young friend here, weâre squared.â Lin Bai said.
These beasts had earned him a total of three thousand spiritual stones, which was just enough to purchase the Embroidered Sword.
After Su Xianmei gave an indication to Ai Lin, the young man received his Embroidered Sword.
After completing the transaction and exchanging courtesies with Su Xianmei, Lin Bai and the young man left the Treasure Pavilion together.
âThank you for the antidote.â Lin Bai gratefully thanked the young man.
âHeh heh, I never expected that a few antidotes I refined on the spur of the moment can help you so much.â The young man replied with an innocent smile.
Refined on the spur of the moment?
Lin Bai remembered Lin Yue mentioning that the antidote to the Snake Heart Poison was destroyed when the Snake God Sect was annihilated.
The young man claimed to have casually made a few antidotes?
What was the young manâs real identity?
âBig Brother, I have to go now.
Weâll meet again if weâre fated to.â The young man waved to Lin Bai with a smile, clutching the Rusty Sword and quickly disappearing into the crowd.
âJust what is the background of this youngster, possessing such powerful detoxification skills.
Could he be a poison master?â Lin Bai looked at the youngsterâs retreating figure, puzzled.
âForget it.
It doesnât matter.
I should head back and rest now.
Tomorrow is the Disciple Recruitment Conference.â
âLin Ziâer, itâs about time we settled our accounts.â
