911 Sudden Even
Yue Changkong was persuaded to hold back. Thankfully, he did not take action.
The four of them including Chen Xiaobei carried the boxes of Spiritual Stones and descended the mountain with Luo Puti following behind.
Many in the audience wanted to join the Bei Xuan Faction. But Chen Xiaobei has no intention to take anyone in. All he wanted was to keep walking. Naturally, everybody made way for him.
Chen Xiaobei stopped at a place where there was no one, then he immediately took out the Green Jade Gourd and absorbed all the Spiritual Qi from all the Spiritual Stones that he received.
5,000 spirit stones were completely drained, grew dim and looked like a piece of plastic.
The pure, rich Spiritual Qi were all stored into the Green Jade Gourd. Combined with the ones leftover, the total amount of Spiritual Qi Chen Xiaobei possessed 5,600 Spiritual Stones.
This was not a small amount at all; this could help Chen Xiaobei in many ways like growing hexworms, training, increase health, activate Spiritual Items, and use Witch Dragon Transformation.
This score was undoubtedly, what Chen Xiao had needed urgently.
This was awesome!
"Today, all three of you have done a good job!" said Chen Xiaobei, smiling. "Since your usage of the Spiritual Qi is pretty slow, I won't split our rewards with you. I will, however, reward you with something else!"
Huo Yuanba immediately nodded and said, "Sifu has been merciful to us! It is our duty to serve you! We are in no position to ask for a reward!"
"Yuanba is right!" Tai Yitan agreed. "What's more, you planned everything. We are only following orders. We won't take credit for it!"
"Hehe… You did nothing but I, on the other hand, made a contribution of my own!"
Wu Aofeng stood up, laughing.
He took out a light blue knife from his sleeve and handed them over to Chen Xiaobei with both hands.
"Water Shattering Dagger!"
Their eyes lit up.
"Why is that in your hands?" asked Chen Xiaobei, shocked.
Wu Aofeng then chirpily told them about how he made a bet with Xu Changqing.
Chen Xiaobei was over the moon. He accepted the Water Shattering Dagger and said, "Excellent! You have indeed accomplished something great! The Water Shattering Dagger is made of very rare materials. It will be very useful to me! I will keep that and give you an additional reward!"
"No problem!" Wu Aofeng grinned and said, "The Spiritual Qi attribute that I train is gold. So I have no use for this knife. If Sifu can give me another reward, that would be the best of both worlds!"
Chen Xiaobei had a moment of revelation and immediately took out three things from his Infinite Space Ring. These three things are Thousand Webs Bracelet, White Dragon Box, and Dragon Void Sword! Aofeng, since you've done the most, you pick first!"
"Sifu, isn't this Dragon Void Sword is the treasure of Xuanjian Faction? How is it that you have it?"
Wu Aofeng eyes widened.
"Don't worry. This is the real thing. The one that Liu Chunyi has is a duplicate!"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled.
"Right! Then I want the Dragon Void Sword! This sword is a Yang item! The gold Qi in it is going to synchronize with me perfectly! This is perfect for me!"
Wu Aofeng was very pleased with his choice.
"I will decide what the both of you get." Chen Xiaobei said, "Thousand Webs Bracelet best suit someone that is meticulous! Yitan, you take it!"
"Thank you, Sifu!" Tai Yitan reached out both hands acquiescently and took the Thousand Webs Bracelet politely.
"Yuanba! Your Spiritual Attribute is earth! It's important for you to make sure that you are stable when it comes to attack and defense!"
Chen Xiaobei then continued, "This White Dragon Box is a Spiritual Item as well! Put it where you stand, any enemies below 50,000 combat power will be constricted when they get close to you! It can constrict two people at the same time!"
"Thank you, Sifu!"
Huo Yuanba accepted the White Jade Dragon Box gratefully.
Without a question, even though Chen Xiaobei had taken all the 5,000 Spiritual Stones, the three rewards he gave out were also exquisite treasures!
And that was exactly Chen Xiaobei's true nature: he was always especially generous to his own people!
After that, Chen Xiaobei turned toward Luo Puti and chuckled. "Puti, I won't be giving you anything because from today onward, whatever I have is yours!"
"You…what do you mean by that?"
Luo Puti blushed.
She was wearing a white training suit made of satin—completely dust proof. And it matched her healthy skin perfectly too.
What part did an ice queen's cold arrogance have in this sheepish little girl?
"You said that if I won the first place in the martial arts competition, you would marry me. So then, my things will automatically become yours, right?" Chen Xiaobei said giddily.
"I… I didn't say anything of that sort!"
Luo Puti glanced at Chen Xiaobei and bowed her head diffidently.
"Oh? Why do I feel like you've become an entirely different person!"
Chen Xiaobei scratched his head.
"How am I different?"
Luo Puti looked confused.
"The ice has melted away and become soft and warm!"
Chen Xiaobei grinned.
"Rub… Rubbish! I'm still the same! I haven't changed a bit!"
Luo Puti's heart thumped as she lowered her head and walked away.
She had not realized that her heart had been subdued by Chen Xiaobei.
Ice queen turned lady, how could she not be gentle?
"Sifu! Why aren't you going after her? Hahaha…" Wu Aofeng teased.
Even Tai Yitan and Huo Yuanba followed suit.
"Mr. Chen! Please stay! Please stay!"
A figure ran hurriedly towards Chen Xiaobei, looked at him once and then proceeded to kneel at his feet.
"What are you doing here?"
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, surprised.
The person crouching before him was Zhao Ritian!
"I, Zhao Ritian begs you Mr. Chen Xiaobei to take me in as the disciple of Bei Xuan Faction," Zhao Ritian wasted no time and said.
"What are you doing? What qualifies you to join Bei Xuan Faction? Go away and don't bother us!"
Wu Aofeng had no intention to show him any mercy.
But Zhao Ritian was not fazed. He continued to plead, "Mr. Chen! Please take me in! From today onwards, I will only follow your orders! I will respect you as my own father!"
"Go away. I will never allow you in!"
Chen Xiaobei was firm. He would not change his mind, no matter what Zhao Ritian said.
"Ah!"
Just then, Luo Puti screamed.
"Shit! Something happened!"
Chen Xiaobei ignored Zhao Ritian and rushed towards the direction of the scream.
The three of them followed behind Chen Xiaobei as well.
