Chapter 402.1
Negotiation (5)
Before this negotiation, Tang Fei had already analyzed Yang Shaoling’s character and experience in advance.
In Yang Shaoling’s time, he was able to be as famous as Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao, and now he is even more respected as the master of a sect, which shows that this person has great ability.
Even if it is not as good as Lin Fengtian, it must not be too different.
But why did Xiao Ruoyao choose Lin Fengtian back then instead of Yang Shaoling? One must know that Lin Fengtian at that time was just a little-known ordinary person!
Not even a cultivator!
The answer is that Yang Shaoling is too eager for quick success.
When talking about the past, Xiao Ruoyao spoke about this to Feng Shao, saying:
“Yang Shaoling and I are old acquaintances. When I was only ten years old, he went to Tianxin Sect, and I also met Yang Shaoling at that time. At that time, Yang Shaoling was already seventeen years old, but because of his outstanding aptitude and illustrious background, he always had his eyes above his head. When he was in Tianxin Sect, he bullied me many times. If sister Lingyue hadn’t helped me and stood up for me, I’m afraid it’s possible that I would have died in his hands.”
Hearing this, Feng Shao couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Then why are there rumors in the world that he has a deep love for you?”“Deep love?” Xiao Ruoyao said with sarcasm on her face, “It’s just for s*x! I hadn’t bloomed yet when I was ten years old, and I was just an ugly little girl. Later, when I grew up and became beautiful, he couldn’t move when he saw me again. For this kind of person with those eyes, even if there is no brother Tian, I would never consider him!”
In Xiao Ruoyao’s view, most of the time, Yang Shaoling could only see the benefits in front of him, so he was arrogant and domineering when he was young, causing trouble.
Now that he is the master of the sect, he doesn’t cause trouble anymore, but Xiao Ruoyao doesn’t think it’s because he has learned to look at problems from a long-term perspective. It’s more likely that he has experienced too many beatings from society so that he doesn’t dare to cause trouble at all.
After all, with his realm and status, it would not be easy to resolve any troubles. Maybe one day he might get into a fight and provoke someone not afraid of the Chongyang Sword Sect and is willing to fight him to the death. Even if he can win by then, he will definitely lose a lot.
After all, Xiao Ruoyao has dealt with Yang Shaoling a lot, so she knows him better than juniors like Feng Shao. After Tang Fei learned of Xiao Ruoyao’s criticism of Yang Shaoling from Feng Shao, he had a general idea in his mind.
He proposed to Yang Shaoling to give Bei Chuyan to himself, which was actually a temptation. In order to strengthen the effect, he also especially used the word “gift,” as if he didn’t regard Bei Chuyan as a person at all.
But Yang Shaoling didn’t seem to notice this at all, and just focused on Tang Fei’s promise to “reduce the demanded compensation.”
He couldn’t help but feel a little moved and immediately asked to confirm.
So will Tang Fei really lower his claim for compensation?
This… is hard to say. After all, until now, Tang Fei has yet to say what compensation he wants Chongyang Sword Sect to pay!
Bei Chuyan is indeed a disciple with good qualifications under his sect, but it is not like there are none who have better qualifications than her.
Although she can always put forward some good suggestions, this role seems not so important in the face of real interests.
So when Tang Fei made this proposal, he seriously thought about the feasibility of the matter.
Yang Shaoling fell into deep thought in silence, while Bei Chuyan, who was standing behind him, clenched her fists to the point that her joints turned white.
Would her master really agree to this request?
Tang Fei glanced at Bei Chuyan, who looked restless, smiled, and said, “If it’s hard for sect master Yang to part with you, then let’s forget about this proposal!”
Yang Shaoling woke up suddenly. After looking at Bei Chuyan with a complicated expression, he hesitated for a moment and said, “If Holy Lord Tang sincerely asks, then this proposal… is not impossible…”
Bei Chuyan immediately felt as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt, and she froze on the spot.
An incomprehensible smile flashed across Tang Fei’s face.
Very good, with Yang Shaoling’s words, Bei Chuyan probably won’t say anything more.
So Tang Fei said with a smile, “Then I would like to thank Sect Master Yang for being willing to let go!”
Then, he looked at Bei Chuyan again, and said, “Chuyan, what are you still doing? From today onwards, you are a part of my Ziqing Sacred Land!”
Tang Fei even changed his address in order to make Yang Shaoling satisfied with the decision.
Bei Chuyan glanced at Yang Shaoling with a pale face. But Yang Shaoling didn’t pay attention to her at all, and it was unknown if it was because of guilt, or because he didn’t take her seriously at all.
Bei Chuyan smiled bitterly, kneeled on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Yang Shaoling three times, and said, “The master has an order, and the disciple dare not disobey. But from today on, the disciple will no longer be the disciple of the master. This disciple is very grateful to master for his kindness in teaching these years, and this time, this disciple offset part of the sect compensation, and it is just right to repay the master’s kindness.”
After finishing speaking, Bei Chuyan stood up, stopped looking at Yang Shaoling, and walked straight to Ziqing Sacred Land.
Looking at Bei Chuyan’s slightly thin figure, Yang Shaoling seemed to have a faint feeling of losing something important.
But the other disciples of the Chongyang Sword Sect saw this scene with complicated expressions. Many people felt aggrieved and looked at Yang Shaoling without the respect they had before.
Even his own apprentice can be sold and betrayed, what kind of master, what kind of leader!
Yang Shaoling didn’t realize that his eagerness for quick success had already indirectly caused dissension within the Chongyang Sword Sect.
“Okay, I have already satisfied your request. Then, let’s talk about the compensation you asked for?” Yang Shaoling said a little irritably.
Sure enough, without Bei Chuyan’s support, Yang Shaoling’s inability to negotiate was immediately revealed. If Bei Chuyan continues to speak, the others don’t know when they will be able to get to this point!
