Immortal God of War-Chapter 138 Fatty’s Rage_1

Picking up three Fire Ginseng for free, Qin Feiyang was rather cheerful. But he didn’t show it, instead maintaining a displeased expression. This made Chief Li very regretful and uneasy.

Elder Wan, a smile on his face, walked up to Qin Feiyang and said in a meaningful tone, "Haotian, when you left the Elixir King Palace intending to use our Martial King Palace to embarrass them, not only did we not mind, but we even actively helped you..."

Qin Feiyang laughed and said, "Elder, you’ve got it wrong. You helped me because the value I demonstrated was enticing to you."

"Ah!" Elder Wan was stunned, his expression becoming quite a sight.

"Right, right, right. Indeed, that was a factor, but at least we helped you. Think about the Treasure Pavilion and the Royal Family—who among them stood up to say a word for you? They were all waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. That’s the difference between our Martial King Palace and them. You’re a smart and sensible young man; you can surely see who is most reliable."

As soon as Elder Wan finished, Chief Li and the Crown Prince looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Chief Li said, "Old Wan, sowing discord like this is wrong of you."

The Crown Prince chimed in, "Yes, Elder Wan, we never disparaged your Martial King Palace in such a manner. As a senior of esteemed reputation, you should also uphold some moral principles!"

Elder Wan was now extremely embarrassed, so much so that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Chief Li smiled. "Haotian, I now agree to your terms. Help me refine ten Vermilion Glazed Pills, and I’ll give you three as remuneration—that’s a 30% share for you."

Qin Feiyang remained silent.

The Crown Prince’s eyes glinted. He smiled and said, "Brother Jian, a 30% share shows little sincerity. How about the Royal Family offers a 40% share?"

Chief Li was flabbergasted and snapped angrily, "You rascal, are you deliberately trying to undermine me?"

The Crown Prince said, "Since Elder Wan already started this, let’s all compete based on our own merits!"

Chief Li fumed, his beard bristling and eyes glaring.

"The situation is escalating!" the beautiful woman mumbled. She looked at Qin Feiyang with a smile. "Haotian, Elder Wan and I were in the wrong before. How about this: I now promise you a 50-50 split."

"What?"

"A 50-50 split?"

Chief Li, the Crown Prince, and Lin Han all stared at the beautiful woman in disbelief. The Martial King Palace was truly willing to make a significant investment.

"The Treasure Pavilion also agrees to a 50-50 split!"

"The Royal Family agrees as well!"

Chief Li and the Crown Prince, gritting their teeth, quickly chimed in. They were all intelligent people and knew that if this continued, there would be no resolution. So, they simply matched the offer, leaving the decision to Qin Feiyang.

And now, no matter what decision Qin Feiyang made, he was bound to offend someone. He was very clear about this. However, he wouldn’t be so foolish as to choose one and alienate the other two. He glanced at them, feigning great difficulty, and delayed his decision for a long time.

Finally, he sighed deeply and said, "You are all people I cannot afford to offend. Therefore, I’ve decided to help everyone, but the terms cannot change: a 50-50 split for all."

This was his true objective. He couldn’t possibly help only one faction and forsake the other two. Only by keeping all three factions in his grasp could he maximize his own interests.

Upon hearing this, Elder Wan and the others fell silent. People are inherently selfish; they don’t want to share good things. But after thinking for a long time, they realized they couldn’t really control this situation. Forcibly take this lad away? Leaving aside the lad himself, the other two factions would surely not let the matter rest. Threats wouldn’t work either. This lad was now highly sought after; if one party threatened him, the others would protect him. In the end, they would only offend him, a truly counterproductive outcome.

After much thought, they came to a conclusion: this lad, who appeared arrogant on the surface, was actually a cunning little fox. He had calculated everything.

Qin Feiyang glanced at them and said with a smile, "If you can’t decide immediately, you can go back and think it over."

"No need, I agree," the beautiful woman said.

"We agree too," Chief Li and the Crown Prince nodded.

Elder Wan laughed. "Haotian, living in the Flying Phoenix Building isn’t a long-term solution. Come back with us!"

The Crown Prince said, "Brother Jian, why not come to the Royal Palace with me? I will arrange the quietest, most suitable place for your Alchemy."

Elder Wan raised an eyebrow and said angrily, "When adults are speaking, children should not interrupt."

The Crown Prince’s face twitched. Have you ever seen a twenty-year-old child?

"Your Highness, I have a prior agreement with the Martial King Palace, so I appreciate your kind offer," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

In truth, these were just excuses. The true reason was that the Royal Palace’s system was the same as that of the Imperial Palace in the Imperial Capital, a system he currently found somewhat repellent. Another factor was that the esteemed Royal Family was actually colluding with the Lin family, which he found deeply repulsive.

The Crown Prince nodded. "Alright, the doors of our Royal Palace are always open for you. I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave."

"No need to see me off," Qin Feiyang said, cupping his fists.

Lin Han smiled. "I’ll take my leave as well. Little brother, remember to visit the Lin family when you have time."

"I certainly will," Qin Feiyang chuckled.

"Then, I shall await your esteemed visit at my home," Lin Han said, overjoyed.

As long as this lad enters the Lin family, he’ll have a way to win him over. Then, the Lin family’s status in Yan City will surely rise considerably. If Qin Feiyang knew of this thought, he would undoubtedly scoff.

After the Crown Prince and Lin Han left, Chief Li chatted with Qin Feiyang for a while before also taking his leave. Qin Feiyang gave him the one hundred Healing Pills and one hundred Bone-renewing Pills he had already refined.

The beautiful woman smiled. "Let’s head back too!"

Qin Feiyang took out a jade box and handed it to the beautiful woman, who was Elder Ji. "Elder Ji, I have something else to attend to and can’t return right now. Could you please deliver this to Ling Yunfei for me?"

The woman frowned. "What is it? Do you need our help?"

"It’s a small matter. You can all go back. Elder Shi’s presence will be enough," Qin Feiyang replied with a faint smile.

"Alright then!" The woman nodded and instructed Shi Zheng, "Regardless of what happens, you must ensure his safety."

"Yes," Shi Zheng replied with a bow.

The woman accepted the jade box and, without inspecting its contents, placed it directly into her Qiankun Bag. Then, she and Elder Wan turned and departed.

After Shi Zheng closed the door to the room, he gave Qin Feiyang a thumbs-up. "Of all the young men I’ve met, you’re the most intelligent. Truly remarkable!"

Qin Feiyang let out a long breath. "Phew!" he exhaled, then shook his head with a smile. "Elder, you overpraise me. I’m just a bit luckier than others."

"Luck?" Shi Zheng shook his head noncommittally and asked, "Where to next?"

"In which district is the Lin family located?" Qin Feiyang asked, instead of answering directly.

"The East City District," Shi Zheng replied.

"Alright. Let’s rest for now. After dawn, we’ll head to the East City District." Qin Feiyang’s eyes glinted with a sharp light. He then entered the Ancient Castle and resumed copying the Counter Curse Manual.

「Elixir King Palace!」

In the Meeting Hall, Elder He and Jia Hei sat with lowered heads, their expressions clouded and uncertain. Soon, a Steward Elder rushed into the hall, flustered.

Elder He hurriedly looked up at the Steward Elder. "Have you found out?"

The Steward Elder nodded, his voice grave. "We have. Although I didn’t see Jian Haotian at the Flying Phoenix Building, Lin Han and the Crown Prince told us when they came out that they personally witnessed Jian Haotian consume a Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pill and consecutively break through two minor cultivation realms!"

Upon hearing this, Elder He trembled. Deep within his heart, an unshakeable wave of regret, like a relentless tide, surged and overwhelmed him. Jia Hei’s face turned exceedingly grim.

After a long pause, Elder He finally said to the Steward Elder, "You may leave. By the way, find Situ Tianyu and have him come here."

"Yes!" The Steward Elder bowed and withdrew.

"Old Jia, look what we’ve done!" Elder He lamented. "If our judgment hadn’t been clouded by avarice, if we hadn’t forced him to hand over the Netherworld Demon Flame, he would now..." At this point, Elder He couldn’t continue. All his words, all his regret, dissolved into a long, helpless sigh.

This little beast must not be allowed to live! Jia Hei seethed internally, a sinister glint flashing in his old eyes.

A short while later, Fatty arrived at the Meeting Hall and bowed. "Disciple greets the two Elders."

Elder He asked, "I heard you were the one who spread this news. Is that true?"

Fatty’s eyes flickered slightly. He nodded. "Yes, Disciple was the one who spread it."

"Why did you help him?" Elder He frowned.

Damn it, whether I, Master Fatty, help Elder Qin or not is my own freedom! It’s none of your damn business. You guys really have nothing better to do than meddle, got too much time on your hands, huh? Fatty cursed internally, but outwardly he bowed and said, "Although he has left the Elixir King Palace, he is my friend. Besides, he also gave Disciple a Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pill..."

"What?" Both Elders exclaimed in shock.

Jia Hei quickly demanded, "Let me see that pill."

Fatty replied, "Disciple has already consumed it."

"Consumed it?" Jia Hei was stunned, then exploded in fury, roaring, "You, a piece of trash like you, are worthy of consuming a Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pill?" His eyes were filled with extreme disdain.

Fatty seethed with silent rage. It was a gift from Qin Feiyang; why couldn’t he consume it? And they even called him trash! This was utterly outrageous! You old dogs, just you wait for Master Fatty! Sooner or later, I’ll make you all cry!

Elder He frowned and reproached, "Old Jia, watch your tone."

"Hmph! A perfectly good Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pill, wasted on a pig like him! How infuriating!" Jia Hei snorted, his deeply insulting words completely undisguised.

Fatty heard this, and fury blazed within him! At that very moment, a wild idea sparked in his mind!

"Will you two say a little less?" Elder He shot Jia Hei a fierce glare, then turned to Fatty. "Since you’re so familiar with Jian Haotian, I have a mission for you. Go and persuade him to return. If you succeed, I will make an exception and promote you to Core Disciple."

"Really?" Fatty’s eyes widened.

"Of course," Elder He nodded.

Fatty was ecstatic. He slapped his chest and declared confidently, "Alright, leave this to Disciple!"

"Then it’s settled. You may go now," Elder He said with a wave of his hand.

Fatty bowed and said, "Disciple takes his leave." As he turned, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

This dump of a place? Master Fatty himself doesn’t want to stay here anymore, and you want me to persuade Elder Qin to come back? In your dreams! You two old coots, just wait! Soon you’ll find out that Master Fatty is not to be trifled with!

He sneered inwardly and quickly departed from the Meeting Hall.
