Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen shook his head: "No matter what, the spirit of a business contract must still be upheld, unless you can persuade me with terms!"

The white-browed old man felt a slight sense of relief upon hearing this; as long as they could talk, that was fine!

However, since we can negotiate, let's try to lower the price first. That's the usual practice. Otherwise, what if Ye Chen asks for an exorbitant price? He's not one to be taken advantage of.

The white-browed elder snorted lightly: "Although your cultivation is high and you were able to defeat Elder Wu in one move, you are not invincible."

"I'm already in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and my strength is far beyond that useless Elder Wu. Once I make a move, I might not be able to hold back..."

"It would be terrible if young Brother Ye were to lose an arm or a leg!"

The white-browed old man's words were full of threat, but he no longer addressed Ye Chen as "little boy."

Ye Chen simply shook his head: "I'm a tough guy, I respond better to gentle persuasion than force. Threatening me will only excite me more. Just state your conditions quickly, stop dawdling, or I might change my mind!"

Liu Qing glanced at Ye Chen with a complicated expression, but she didn't complain, since the situation was already like this.

The white-browed old man's face twitched, and finally he gritted his teeth: "Whatever conditions that girl Liu Qing offered you, I'll offer you double. I won't ask you for anything, just leave!"

The white-browed elder ultimately chose to sacrifice his own flesh to get rid of this plague god before him, and to take control of the sect's current situation first.

We can discuss the rest later!

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

No need to think, even a fool knows which option to choose.

"Ye Chen, just agree to his terms. That way, you can still get some benefits before you leave. The conditions I promised you are destined to be impossible to fulfill."

Liu Qing glanced at Ye Chen and spoke softly.

Ye Chen ignored her and instead looked at the white-browed elder with a smile, "I guess you're just making empty promises. Even if you let me leave, those two little cherry blossoms behind you probably won't let me go unscathed!"

Ye Chen's words were like a muffled thunderclap, resounding throughout the entire venue.

No, little cherry blossom?

Where did these cherry blossoms come from? How could their sect possibly have cherry blossoms?

You should know that their former sect leader disliked Sakura the most and did not allow any of their sect's disciples to have any contact with her.

Surprisingly, there were cherry blossoms here?

In an instant, everyone's attention fell on the two people behind the white-browed old man, and even the white-browed old man's face stiffened for a moment.

"Brother Ye, you flatter us. We don't have any people from Xiaoyinghua's group here. They are guest elders of our Luoshui Sect!"

The white-browed old man hurriedly offered an explanation, a rare occurrence for him.

He didn't offer a single explanation for killing the old sect leader, but he immediately offered an explanation regarding the identities of the two middle-aged men.

This illustrates just how sensitive Sakura's identity is right now.

The killing of the former sect leader could be considered an internal matter of the sect, something Beidou couldn't interfere with.

However, colluding with Sakura is a matter of national security, and such things cannot be tolerated!

If things go wrong, he could be branded a traitor, nailed to the pillar of historical shame, and subjected to collective condemnation...

At least Beidou will not let them off the hook, which is not what he wants to see.

Although the white-browed old man was very angry, he still weighed the pros and cons immediately and spoke up to defend himself.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I've seen Sakura several times. Their face shape and features are definitely right. Look at the one on the left, with a flat face, a thick beard, and short, dark skin. Look at how his genes have mixed up."

"And that guy on the right, with his high nose and deep-set eyes, like Ken Hirai and Hiroshi Abe, I've seen plenty of his adult films, I know him very well. How does he look like a Chinese man at all?"

"Look at where they're standing. They're practically lined up. Do two Foundation Establishment cultivators really need to act like elementary school students?"

"You mean if you're going to find someone to collude with Sakura, at least find two people whose facial features aren't so obvious? Do you really think everyone's stupid?"

"Also, to determine if they are the real Sakura, just have them say a few words and have a myna bird clasp its hands in a salute."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, the crowd in the room began to whisper among themselves again.

"Holy crap, you know what, it's really true! The more I look at them, the more they resemble Sakura!"

"No wonder they were hiding behind Elder Xu; I hadn't even noticed!"

"As expected of Ye Chen, he immediately grasped the crux of the problem!"

"Really? I didn't notice anything amiss."

"Heh, didn't notice? That just means you haven't watched enough adult films. You need to practice. Come on, I happen to have some videos here for you to compare!"

Then, a rather discordant groan suddenly came from the disciple's phone...

The disciple hurriedly lowered his voice awkwardly: "Ahem, don't worry about these details. Cultivators shouldn't be disturbed by external factors!"

Everyone around looked over, their expressions filled with excitement!

"Look, look at those facial details, doesn't it look like him? Holy crap, where are you looking? I told you to look at that guy!"

"Oh, oh, it really does look quite similar!"

"By the way, why did Elder Xu and the others invite two little cherry blossoms to help out?"

"Yeah, isn't this colluding with foreign tribes? I think Elder Xu and his group are the traitors!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense, or you'll be silenced!"

"Damn, they've already colluded with Sakura, and we can't even say anything?"

......

The white-browed elder and Elder Su looked very unpleasant; Ye Chen was practically stabbing them in the back!

Elder Su continued to offer his final explanation: "Ye Chen, stop talking nonsense. Appearances are not absolute, and this proves nothing. You are trying to confuse the issue."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Whether I'm trying to mislead you or not, I think you all know the answer in your hearts. Everyone here isn't stupid; they can tell the difference. Black is black, and there's no way to make it white!"

At this moment, a bolder disciple in the crowd muttered, "Yeah, the one on the right looks exactly like that Gao something-miao, except she's different. I bet it's Sakura!"

He spoke quite loudly, and many people heard him.

Elder Su's face twitched, and he inwardly cursed.

He had asked them to wear masks before, but they refused to wear them no matter what.

Now look what happened, I've been recognized, damn it...

The white-browed old man was also in great distress, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to deal with the current situation.

At this moment, the short, dark-skinned middle-aged man spoke up in a low voice: "Xu, let's attack together. This kid can't be allowed to live, otherwise, once our identities are completely exposed, you're all finished!"

The middle-aged man with a high nose and deep-set eyes nodded in agreement: "If he spreads the news, you know the consequences. We can leave at any time, but the sect is your foundation. Can you leave?"

The white-browed old man's expression changed several times. The two men had hit a nerve with him, and he finally made his decision.

It seems there's only one path left for him: if Ye Chen leaves alive today, they'll be in big trouble.
