Chapter 1532
Listening to Qi Xiong's righteous and solemn words, the three elders of the Chen family couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths, their eyelids jumping wildly.
How could you say such a thing?
Also, when you speak, could you stop letting your eyes wander? They're all glowing.
Not only Qi Xiong, but Hong Zun, Shi Song, and the others present were all examining the women brought by the Chen family with great interest.
I have to say, the Chen family really put thought into this; the looks of these women are truly beyond words.
Although they can't compare to Qiu Baiyi and Bai Hua Xianzi, placed in any pleasure quarter they would undoubtedly be top-tier courtesans.
Being able to gather so many top courtesans, the Chen family also put in some thought.
Words spoken can deceive, but the gaze cannot; seeing the expressions change among the Elders and Peak Masters of Dao Yi Shengdi, the three Chen elders also understood clearly.
As soon as Qi Xiong's words fell, the three Chen ancestors hastily cupped their hands and responded.
"Shèngzhǔ Qi, and all the Elders and Peak Masters, we Chen family sent these maidservants precisely because we know you are devoted to Xiūliàn."
"You all strive hard in Xiūliàn daily, and the affairs of the holy land are complicated, so it's inevitable that personal care may be lacking; having someone nearby would be better."
It was entirely following along with what Qi Xiong and they said.
However, given the current thickness of the Chen ancestors' faces, they still couldn't say these words without changing expression.
After saying that, his old face couldn't help but redden, and he silently cursed, how could these words come out of his mouth?
Upon hearing this, Shi Song was the first to speak this time, his face darkening as he sternly rebuked.
"Nonsense, as the leader of Haotu Shijie, our Dao Yi Shengdi should set an example; how could we do this?"
Shi Song's words were indeed firm, but could you rein in your eyes? They're practically sucking onto them.
But there was no choice; the three Chen elders still had to go along with what they said.
To be honest, the women sent by the Chen family are indeed not bad.
But don't think that Qi Xiong and the others, when they have nothing to do, like to go to pleasure quarters to listen to a tune and drink a little alcohol.
Yet they still have a bottom line.
Not just anyone can qualify to stay in Dao Yi Shengdi, and as the holy land grows stronger, the demands on disciples also increase.
For these women, they naturally want to stay.
If they can stay, then both their Xiūliàn environment and resources will be far greater than before.
This is also the main reason the Chen family could persuade them.
The three Chen ancestors truly weren't lying; not a single one of these women was forced, they were all willing.
Although Qi Xiong and the others' eyes weren't honest, their hearts were clear.
Therefore, no matter how the three Chen elders tried to persuade, Qi Xiong and the others firmly refused.
However, Old Hong Zun still put forward a suggestion.
"Letting them stay in Dao Yi Shengdi is indeed inappropriate; let them choose themselves—if they wish to remain in Haotu Shijie, we can arrange for them to go to Dao Yi Shengcheng."
Staying in the holy land is definitely out, but Dao Yi Shengcheng is fine.
Moreover, if it's Dao Yi Shengcheng, the distance is also close, and when free one can still go there.
Seeing Hong Zun's solemn expression, the three Chen elders felt numb.
You're settling accounts on my face, and still talking about this and that?
What are you aiming for? Anyone with eyes can see it.
But Qi Xiong and the others' bottom line is firm; the three Chen ancestors also know that making these women stay is impossible.
In the end, they also agreed to Hong Zun's suggestion.
Immediately these women were taken away; those willing to stay were sent by people of Dao Yi Shengdi to Dao Yi Shengcheng.
Those unwilling would just leave together with the Chen family when the time came.
After the bevy of courtesans left, one saw that Hong Zun, Shi Song, and the others, whose eyes had been shining, instantly became like deflated balloons.
Their eyes lost their luster, and their whole bodies went limp and powerless.
They were completely different from before, like two different people.
This change came so quickly; seeing Hong Zun and the others somewhat on edge, the three Chen elders felt they could hardly hold themselves together.
You guys, at least act a little.
They just left and it's already like this—won't it be too obvious?
We're still standing here.
"Shèngzhǔ Qi, besides the previous beauties, this time we Chen family also bring some treasures to present, thanking your sect for the life-saving grace."
"Hn."
But upon hearing this, Qi Xiong seated above merely gave a light hum.
He appeared indifferent; seeing this, the three Chen elders had black lines all over their heads.
Just now when you were looking at the beauties you weren't like this; although you didn't take them in the end, you're now completely opposite.
Even when the three Chen elders took out their Space Ring, Qi Xiong merely nodded to the steward beside him.
That steward understood, stepped forward to receive the Space Ring, and performed a respectful salute to the three Chen elders.
After receiving the Space Ring, Qi Xiong said weakly.
"Recently the holy land's affairs are numerous; if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"The Law Enforcement Hall is the same."
"Divine Sword Peak is the same."
"Blood Blade Peak is the same as well."
"Overlord Spear Peak also can't be absent; I'll take my leave first."
For a moment, all the Peak Masters and Elders were tangled up in affairs, planning to leave.
Seeing this, the three old ancestors of the Chen family were completely dumbfounded.
Damn it, just now when you were looking at the beauty, how come you guys were fine?
Now that the beauty has left, your matter has come up? The timing of this matter is really appropriate.
Finally, Qi Xiong turned to Ye Zhangqing and said.
"Elder Ye Zhangqing, look, the Chen family has come from afar; we should also fulfill our host's duty. If your canteen isn't busy, tonight set up a banquet to receive the Chen family; I'll come later."
"Me too."
"Right, after I finish the Law Enforcement Hall's business tonight, I'll drink with Brother Chen of the Chen family until we're satisfied."
Speaking of the feast, the numerous Peak Masters and Elders all said they would come no matter how busy.
Watching the scene before them, the three old ancestors of the Chen family had complex expressions.
Stop acting, please, if you're going to leave, just go.
Faced with the many Elders, the Peak Master's words, Ye Zhangqing nodded.
The Chen family has come from far away, bringing both people and treasures; not receiving them would indeed be improper.
Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, Qi Xiong hurriedly continued.
"Then we'll see each other tonight?"
"Everything will be arranged by Shèngzhǔ Qi."
The three old ancestors of the Chen family spoke with complex expressions; hearing this, Qi Xiong said to the steward beside him.
"You must properly arrange for Brother Chen of the Chen family and his companions; any slight negligence and I won't forgive you. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Saying that, Qi Xiong vanished from the spot; afterward, Hong Zun, Shi Song, Qin Shan Hai and the other Peak Masters and Elders, after greeting the three old ancestors of the Chen family, also left one after another.
Each of them kept muttering words like 'busy'.
