Cultivation—Stand above the Heaven Chapter 210

"Okay!"

Duan Lengyan hastened to bid Pi Xiong fetch banknotes worth four million kilos of gold, fearing that any delay would bring unfavorable contingencies.

"Hang on! Please don't hurry!"

Without taking the banknotes offered by Pi Xiong, Wandong rejected Qiu Yunchong's share as well.

His reaction soon got on the nerves of Qiu Yun Chong and Duan Lengyan — he appeared as if he had been tempted to go back on his word.

Compounded with Tang Xinyi's eyes suddenly filled with delight, they went even more flustered.

"Childe Xu, you can't go back on it! We already made a deal!"

Qiu Yunchong hastened to plea.

"Hahaha…General Qiu, don't get me wrong. You know, I'm a well-known man of my word! But, you see, I have an add-on request. Could you please accept it?"

Qiu Yunchong, at that moment, was solely focused on the raw stones of the blood steel. As long as Wandong kept his word, he would accept his request come what might be it anything he craved.

"That's no big deal as long as Childe Xu keeps his word!"

"Yup, it was indeed no big deal. You see, I'm in need of the raw stones as well. But please don't worry, my demand is not as high as yours, I only need a few hundreds of them. General Qiu, would you let me have a small portion of the raw stones?"

Wandong responded with a smirk.

"Er…"

Qiu Yunchong knitted his eyebrows, eyes running down the shelves. The raw stones here reached beyond five thousand pieces. In that case, a couple of hundreds was not that much.

Thinking of that, he nodded in agreement forthwith.

Duan Lengyan, nevertheless, went on the alert right after Wandong raised his request: it reminded her of the big loss she just suffered, which shall stay with her in the rest of her life.

Now that Wandong had what it took to single out barren stones, he must have the ability to isolate the valid ones.

What if he screened out the useless barren ones and left them to Qiu Yunchong?

The more she contemplated it, the more she reinforced her speculation on his request.

Yes, indeed, if not, Wandong wouldn't have to ask for a portion of a few hundred — that happened to be the number of valid stones in total based on the output ratio.

She cast suspicious eyes on Wandong, trying to prove her guess.

Wandong, as a matter of fact, had long expected her vigilance against his trick, but he stayed poised.

For Qiu Yunchong's part, he wouldn't fall for Duan Lengyan's speculation at all. He was simply way too confident in his own decision.

"Now that the batch of raw stones belonged to General Qiu, we'd better leave the final say to him."

While Duan Lengyan was wavering, Wu Qiujun cut in in an emotionless tone abruptly.

It came as a reminder to her — she had to lay out four hundred kilos gold for this transaction come what might. So why bother to complicate things? It would be Qiu Yunchong to swallow the bait rather than her, so she was totally out of it.

On top of that, Qiu Yunchong was no good folk at all.

Having experienced such a horrible disaster, the animosity already came out between the Qius and the Tiezhan Empire — she would no longer expect a benign tie.
