"Can we leave now?"
After handing over the Qiankun bag, Qiao looked at Ye Cangtian and asked through gritted teeth.
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and said, "You can leave, but everyone else who wants to leave must hand over their Qiankun bags, otherwise, you'll face the consequences!"
As his voice fell, before Hasal and Qiao could speak, the other three cardinals and all the purple-robed bishops took out their Qiankun bags and threw them in front of Ye Cangtian.
They were truly intimidated by Ye Cangtian's terrifying power and didn't harbor any hope of escape.
"Heh heh, thank you, Hall of Light, for your generous contribution. You're welcome to visit again!"
"You..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's teasing voice, everyone from the Hall of Light almost vomited blood, but who dared to say anything?
They could only follow Hasal and Qiao and retreat in disgrace.
Watching the Hall of Light leave, Elder He finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered people to follow.
He himself went to Feng Ze and gave him a few instructions.
The next moment, Feng Ze, with the disciples of Tingfeng Tower, began to clean up the scene.
Meanwhile, this matter had come to an end. Ye Cangtian, along with Gui Wu and Nan Xi, returned to the inn.
Along the way, Nan Xi was very silent. She lowered her head, lost in thought. After returning to the inn, she immediately went into her room.
Seeing this, Gui Wu sidled up to Ye Cangtian and said, "You scoundrel, I didn't expect you to be quite capable. It seems you'll have another general under your command!"
Gui Wu knew that Nan Xi's heart was not calm at this moment and had already been moved by Ye Cangtian.
"Heh heh, the way you use the word 'again,' does that mean you are also a general under my command?" Ye Cangtian asked with a teasing smile.
"Hmph, don't get smug!"
Gui Wu snorted and continued, "I haven't acknowledged you yet! I just feel comfortable staying by your side, so I'll stay a few more days. If you disappoint me, I'll leave immediately!"
"Alright, alright, whatever you say. Go call Nan Xi out. I have important business to discuss with her."
Ye Cangtian said helplessly.
When Gui Wu heard this, she immediately became curious. What important business could Ye Cangtian have with Nan Xi?
Feeling quite curious, she walked into Nan Xi's room.
In less than two minutes, Nan Xi was pulled out by Gui Wu and sat in front of Ye Cangtian.
She kept her head down, as if afraid to look at Ye Cangtian.
Seeing Nan Xi lowering her head and remaining silent, Ye Cangtian playfully teased her, "Heh heh, why are you so shy? This makes me a little unaccustomed."
Hearing this, Nan Xi immediately snorted and said, "Hmph! If you have something to say, spit it out. I'm tired and want to rest!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian laughed heartily, then took out a small bottle from the Qiankun bag, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it toward Nan Xi.
This...
Gui Wu's eyes widened. If she remembered correctly, this small bottle was the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir extorted from Hasal.
Thinking of this, she was stunned.
After all, although Nan Xi was moved today, she only had a slight good impression of Ye Cangtian, and it was far from loyalty.
If she were to consume the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, Nan Xi would definitely be able to break through to the Earth rank, and then Ye Cangtian would be in danger. Nan Xi might even continue to assassinate him.
Besides that, she might also suffer.
She had been 'training' Nan Xi during this period, which had caused Nan Xi a lot of suffering.
If Nan Xi gained strength comparable to hers, wouldn't she come to settle the score?
Meanwhile, Nan Xi was also dumbfounded. She could naturally see that the small bottle contained the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.
But she couldn't understand why!
First, she had not succeeded in assassinating Ye Cangtian.
Second, she had not served as a maid for a full year.
With neither condition met, why would Ye Cangtian give her the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!
"Um... I say, are you sure about this?"
Before Nan Xi could react, Gui Wu snatched the small porcelain bottle from the table and spoke to Ye Cangtian.
As she spoke, Gui Wu kept winking at him, implying that Ye Cangtian should think carefully and not end up losing the horse while trying to get the chicken.
"Once I give something away, have you ever seen me take it back?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Gui Wu and said with a smile.
He could see that Nan Xi was not calm at the moment, and this was the time to administer a strong medicine.
Even if he couldn't win Nan Xi over in one fell swoop, he should at least make Nan Xi's opinion of him change significantly.
"Hmph, you keep going."
Gui Wu heard this and knew that Ye Cangtian had made up his mind. She snorted and placed the small porcelain bottle back in its original position.
"Our bet isn't over yet, what do you mean by this!"
Looking at the small porcelain bottle again, Nan Xi couldn't help but swallow her saliva, forcibly suppressing her greed, and asked.
She knew that one such elixir was enough for her to break through to the Earth rank, and then her world would be different.
However, she couldn't accept it without clarification, and her strong self-esteem wouldn't allow her to.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "This Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir was originally obtained by using you as bait. It's only right to give it to you."
"..."
This statement left Nan Xi speechless. She had originally thought Ye Cangtian wanted to buy her over with a bottle of elixir, but it turned out to be a very clumsy excuse.
This was clearly a free gift.
"Of course, there is one condition."
Just as Nan Xi thought this, she heard Ye Cangtian's voice.
Instantly, a cold smile appeared on Nan Xi's face. As expected, this elixir was not so easy to obtain!
The next moment, she glanced at Ye Cangtian and said, "Tell me, what condition!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "You cannot take it here. We are returning to Huaxia soon and cannot afford to delay. Once we return to Huaxia, you can do as you please."
"..."
Nan Xi was speechless. Was this considered a condition?
For a moment, Nan Xi was in a daze, her heart seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, trembling slightly.
At the same time, her mood was very complicated!
The next moment, Nan Xi gritted her teeth, grabbed the porcelain bottle on the table, and then, without a word, ran back to her room and slammed the door shut.
Only then, her voice came from the room.
"I will not thank you!"
Hearing this.
Ye Cangtian showed a faint smile. He knew that he had at least succeeded by half.
...
The next morning, as the sun rose.
Ye Cangtian, along with Nan Xi and Gui Wu, came to Tingfeng Tower.
After a day of cleaning, Tingfeng Tower had returned to its original state.
"Elder He, have the people from the Hall of Light withdrawn from Sun Moon Double Islands?"
After meeting Elder He, Ye Cangtian got straight to the point after a brief conversation.
He was currently worried that the Hall of Light would linger on the island and play a war of attrition with him, which would greatly delay his time and also pose a threat to Tingfeng Tower.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master. Everything is fine."
"The scouts who followed reported that all members of the Hall of Light have withdrawn from Sun Moon Double Islands. For the time being, Sun Moon Double Islands have calmed down."
Elder He heard this and quickly relayed the news.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's heart was at ease, and he nodded, "I came to say goodbye this time."
"After we leave, you should activate the island-protecting formation to prevent the Hall of Light from returning."
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Elder He suddenly felt a bit awkward.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master, activating the island-protecting formation is not difficult now, but maintaining it for a long time is. Although the formation's consumption is not large, Tingfeng Tower is already empty after these incidents..."
"Haha, what is it!"
"Here, I was just about to leave it for you!"
Ye Cangtian had put the crystals he had looted these days into a Qiankun bag and now directly threw it to Elder He.
He had originally planned to leave them. He understood the situation of Tingfeng Tower somewhat.
Now that Elder He had regained control, but Tingfeng Tower's strength was greatly reduced, and crystals were needed everywhere, so he had prepared them in advance.
Not only crystals, but Ye Cangtian also took out a small porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Elder He.
"Elder He, I need you to take more care of the楼主's affairs."
"I'll leave one Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. If there are suitable seedlings, don't be stingy, help them grow faster..."
Listening to Ye Cangtian's instructions, Elder He did not stand on ceremony, directly accepted the elixir, and expressed his gratitude with thanks.
Now, with this elixir, it would be no problem for Tingfeng Tower to have another Earth rank expert, which would make it three Earth rank experts.
Even without activating the island-protecting formation, most forces would not dare to covet them.
In this way, Tingfeng Tower would be able to get through this dangerous period...
