It is said that the Water Realm Master is very fond of that noble young master. Otherwise, it would be impossible for others selected to obediently gather together while he alone can run out to play!

As for the reason, Ye Luo doesn’t know, but Ye Luo must deal with the matter at hand now.

"Let him in then!"

Ye Luo said as he stood up.

He is preparing to greet this Water Realm Master!

After all, with the Water Realm Master’s strength, even without notifying the soldiers, entering would pose no problem whatsoever.

The fact that they’ve notified the soldiers is to give Ye Luo some face, so Ye Luo going to meet them is only appropriate.

However, at this moment, the door of the room has already swung open, and a woman in her thirties stormed in anger!

Of course, Ye Luo wouldn’t dare to ascertain her age based on appearance!

After all, this is the Martial Realm, where advanced cultivation can reverse aging. What’s so difficult about maintaining appearances?

"Greetings, Venerate. May I ask what brings the Venerate to me?"

They have given face, so naturally, Ye Luo will receive it.

The woman briefly bowed, not too concerned with formality, and directly said to Ye Luo, "Your man killed my disciple. Tell me, what are you going to do about it!"

Ye Luo was taken aback; he had expected trouble but did not expect such directness!

"Sorry, when I learned of this matter, it was already too late. I’ve already captured the one who committed the murder. If Venerate wishes, you may take him anytime!"

"Take him away?"

The Water Realm Master raised an eyebrow but chuckled lightly, "Please, as a strong individual, you should know that not all lives are equal. Some lives are better than others, don’t you agree?"

This point Ye Luo does acknowledge. He understands the other party’s meaning, which is the difference between a genius and a commoner!

This point Ye Luo truly acknowledges because, given enough cultivation resources, a genius is much likelier to become a powerhouse!

Yet if the same resources are given to someone of mediocre talent, even tenfold would yield no result!

Indeed, equating life with life is unequal, at least between genius and ordinary people!

Ye Luo doesn’t want to offend the Water Realm Master, so he said, "The matter has already happened, and I am quite helpless, for the deceased was also one of my people. But since you are his teacher, you do indeed have the right to propose terms. What do you think is a good resolution?"

Ye Luo noticed the Water Realm Master seemed reasonable, hence he asked so.

But little did he expect, the Water Crystal Master’s next words would infuriate Ye Luo!

"Alright then, since you asked, I’ll say it plainly. I heard you recently acquired Spirit Stones. Those aren’t of much use to you, so how about this, give me ten thousand Spirit Stones, and we’ll call it even!"

What!

Ye Luo’s expression suddenly changed!

At this moment, everything became clear!

Had the Water Crystal Master not named such terms, Ye Luo might not have understood so quickly!

But now, Ye Luo understands everything!

Spirit Stones are among the rare resources mined from the Great Wilderness!

The special aspect of these stones is their ability to automatically absorb surrounding spiritual energy. When assisted by a formation, some special magical treasures can be made; these treasures, worn during cultivation, can accelerate the process, making them quite beneficial!

Most importantly, according to Ao Long, magical treasures made from Spirit Stones have a chance to absorb the power of Law.

Thus granting the wearer an opportunity to comprehend the power of Law!

Indeed, what the Water Realm Master mentioned is quite true; Ye Luo doesn’t need that many!

But that’s only concerning Ye Luo personally!

In truth, Ye Luo represents not just himself but includes both Great Tang and Da Yue!

After this period of mining, Ye Luo acquired not more than ten thousand Spirit Stones, all carefully stored away, waiting to be rewarded to geniuses from Great Tang and Da Yue!

But unexpectedly, the Water Crystal Master learned of this, and now demands a full ten thousand from Ye Luo!

Why doesn’t he resort to robbery!

No, she probably already is robbing!

What fancy excuse about liking that noble young master!

This was entirely planned; that fellow probably came here under the Water Realm Master’s direction!

Clearly, it’s deliberately causing trouble, looking for a reason to extort Ye Luo!

Upon figuring this out, Ye Luo showed no pleasant face, gazing blandly at the Water Realm Master, and then said, "Does the Venerate know what this city is called?"

The Water Realm Master was slightly taken aback, not understanding Ye Luo’s sudden remark, but answered, "Of course I know; isn’t it Tangyue City? I’ve heard it’s a symbol of friendship between Great Tang and Da Yue, made by you!"

Ye Luo nodded, his voice still icy as he said, "Since Venerate knows, then are you aware of its origin, or of the so-called eighth region’s ten thousand warriors that we in Great Tang and Da Yue killed?"

With these words, the Water Realm Master suddenly stood up!

None here is foolish. Ye Luo spoke this way, how could the Water Crystal Master not understand Ye Luo’s meaning!

This is clearly a threat!

Ye Luo left the rest unsaid. If he dared to slay one thousand soldiers from the eighth region, then he equally dared to slay the woman before him!

"You dare threaten me!"

The Water Realm Master’s eyes turned cold as she gazed at Ye Luo, a faint killing intent emanating from her!

Ye Luo was indifferent, toying with the handgun in his hand, calmly said, "No, I wouldn’t dare, that’s certainly not a threat. It’s merely that since it’s Venerate’s first visit to Tangyue City, this king is just offering an explanation of the city’s history!"

The Water Realm Master saw the handgun in Ye Luo’s hand, and her eyes narrowed suddenly!

She came to extort Ye Luo, and of course, didn’t come unprepared. Hence, she had investigated Ye Luo quite thoroughly, particularly the handgun, with detailed descriptions in her findings.

Everyone should know, during that battle initially, beneath that handgun, who knows how many Spirit Martial Realm powerhouses were slaughtered! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Though this Venerate was arrogant, she was merely a seventh-rank Spirit Martial Realm, not qualified to look down upon this handgun!

No matter how greedy she was, under such circumstances, she dared not entertain thoughts of Ye Luo, for Ye Luo need only lightly pull the trigger, and she would surely die!

"Fine, you’ll pay for this!"

The Water Realm Master dared not say more yet was unwilling to lose face, so she simply left a harsh word and immediately retreated!

Ye Luo sneered and curled his lips.

Trying to extort Ye Luo, does she truly believe he is that easy to deceive?
