Chapter 2227

This Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace, as he spoke, the resentment in his eyes was so thick it couldn't be dispelled.

Translate: "This Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace, between his words, the resentment in his eyes was so thick it couldn't dissipate."

This Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace, in the midst of speaking, the resentment in his eyes was so thick it couldn't be dispelled.

Make sure to keep meaning.

In his words, there wasn't even a hint of trust.

"There wasn't a trace of trust in his words."

If it weren't that there's really no other option right now, he wouldn't still be sitting down to talk; he would have killed this old scoundrel long ago.

"If it weren't that there's really no way right now, how could he possibly still sit down to talk? He would have killed this old thief long ago."

Faced with that expression of the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder, the manager of the Thirty-Third Floor didn't mind—it's only natural.

"Facing this Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace's expression, the manager of San Shi San Lou didn't mind; it's only natural."

After a moment's thought, having organized his words, the Thirty-Third Floor manager spoke slowly.

"After a moment's thought, having organized his words, the manager of San Shi San Lou spoke slowly."

"No matter what you say, that kid is truly a dragon among men; his combat ability and cooking skills are top-notch, and that's undeniable."

"No matter what you say, that kid is truly a dragon among men; his combat ability and culinary skill are top-notch, undeniable."

"Do you want me to say these things?"

"Do you want me to say these things?"

Upon hearing that, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder snapped irritably, cutting him off: "Don't you already know this? Do you need to chime in?"

"Upon hearing that, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace angrily interrupted, 'Don't you know these? Do you still need to chime in?'"

If Ye Changqing had no real ability, how could he have made our Ultimate Bliss Palace suffer losses several times over? Even the Second Ancestor is furious and gritting his teeth, yet there's nothing we can do about this kid.

"If Ye Zhangqing had no skill, could he have made Ultimate Bliss Palace suffer several times? Even the Second Ancestor was angry to the point of itching teeth, yet they could do nothing about this kid."

Seeing that the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder truly had no patience left, the Thirty-Third Floor manager wasn't in a hurry; he waited for him to finish before responding.

"Seeing that the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace truly had no patience left, the manager of San Shi San Lou wasn't anxious either; after he finished speaking, he then responded."

"Our previous two defeats were due to underestimating him; since we can't gain an advantage from him directly, we'll target other aspects."

"The previous two defeats were because we underestimated this kid; since we can't gain an advantage from him, we'll strike from another angle."

Huh?

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder's interest piqued; if not going after Ye Changqing, then where should we strike?

"As soon as that was said, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace became somewhat interested; not attacking Ye Zhangqing, then where to attack?"

Looking at the Thirty-Third Floor manager, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder spoke in a low voice.

"Looking at the manager of San Shi San Lou, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace said in a deep voice."

"Go on."

"Continue."

"This time we won't compete with that Ye kid in cooking; we'll go straight to a beast battle—sure to win."

"This time we won't compete with Ye Zhangqing in culinary skill; we'll directly compete in beast battles, a sure win."

"Beast battle?"

"Beast battles?"

"Exactly, a beast battle. That way, even if that Ye kid had myriad talents, he couldn't use them; as for finding a powerful immortal beast to tame in a short time, that's out of the question."

"Yes, exactly beast battles; that way, even if Ye Zhangqing had a thousand talents, he couldn't display them. As for beast battles, in a short time, where would he find a powerful immortal beast, let alone tame it?"

"As for our Thirty-Third Floor, we do have an earth dragon that you, fellow Daoist, have seen before."

"And we at San Shi San Lou happen to have an Earth Dragon, which you, fellow Daoist, have seen before."

"This..."

"This......................."

Having said that, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder hesitated; it was clear he was somewhat moved.

"Having said this, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace hesitated; it was clear he was somewhat moved."

"Beast battle, as the name suggests, is a fight between spirit beasts, and it's quite popular in the immortal realm."

"Beast battles, as the name suggests, are fights between beast companions; they are very popular in the Immortal Realm."

Basically, it's a pastime enjoyed by the young scions of great clans and sects.

"Basically, it's a pastime of the great clans and the young masters of major sects."

Sipping wine while watching the beasts fight is indeed thrilling.

"One drinks while watching beast battles fight to the death; it's indeed very stimulating."

As for that earth dragon mentioned by the Thirty-Third Floor manager, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder has indeed seen it.

"As for that Earth Dragon mentioned by the manager of San Shi San Lou, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace has indeed seen it."

It is kept in a cavern within the Thirty-Third Floor, and the whole cavern was built specifically for this earth dragon.

"It is kept in a cave dwelling within San Shi San Lou; the entire cave dwelling was built for that Earth Dragon."

This earth dragon possesses pure bloodline; after careful cultivation by the Thirty-Third Floor, it rivals a fully accomplished Immortal Emperor cultivator, and is not far from the Immortal Venerable realm.

"That Earth Dragon, with pure bloodline, after careful cultivation by San Shi San Lou, is already comparable to a perfected cultivator of the Immortal Emperor Realm, not far from the Immortal Venerable Realm."

Such a spirit beast, as the Thirty-Third Floor manager said, gives us a great chance of victory—almost a sure thing.

"Such a beast companion, as the manager of San Shi San Lou said, gives a great chance of victory, almost a sure thing."

After all, according to his knowledge, Ye Changqing appears to have no spirit beasts and is not skilled in this area.

"After all, according to his understanding, Ye Zhangqing seems to have no beast companions, and is not skilled in this."

This plan sounds much more reliable, so the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder is feeling hesitant.

"This plan sounds much more reliable, so the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace thus feels hesitant."

However, after the previous two incidents, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder's trust in the Thirty-Third Floor manager has already sunk to rock bottom.

"However, after the previous two incidents, this Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace's trust in the manager of San Shi San Lou had already dropped to freezing point."

He's on guard, which is why he's indecisive.

"He harbors reservations, hence his hesitation."

Gazing scrutinizingly at the Thirty-Third Floor manager, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder spoke softly.

"His scrutinizing gaze turned toward the manager of San Shi San Lou, and the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace spoke faintly."

"With such a brilliant plan, why didn't you mention it before the two previous defeats?"

"With such an excellent plan, why didn't you say so the previous two times?"

"How was I supposed to know we would lose?"

"How would I know we would lose?"

"Hah, how can you be so sure we'll win this time?"

"Ha, then how can you be certain we'll win this time?"

"That's a given—although that Ye kid is strong, he has no spirit beasts, so isn't it a sure win?"

"That's inevitable, right? Ye Zhangqing is strong, but he has no beast companions; isn't that a sure win?"

The Thirty-Third Floor manager exerted every effort to persuade the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder to nod and agree.

"The manager of San Shi San Lou exerted all his effort to persuade the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace to nod and agree."

This is a task ordered by the master; naturally we must carry it out wholeheartedly, otherwise the master will blame us and we won't be able to bear it.

"This is a task ordered by the master; naturally it must be done wholeheartedly, otherwise if the master blames him, he cannot bear it."

But this time, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder is clearly not so easily fooled.

"But this time, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace is clearly not so easily fooled."

Even though he's already feeling inclined and believes the odds are great, he still hasn't given his assent.

"Even if he already felt inclined, thinking the chances of victory were great, yet he still delayed in giving his assent."

He's truly afraid of being tricked.

"He's truly been scared of being trapped."

Over the two previous occasions, who knows how many treasures and immortal crystals he's lost—just thinking about it hurts, and he still doesn't know how to explain it to the sect.

"Before and after, he doesn't know how many treasures and Immortal Crystals he's lost; just thinking about it hurts, and he doesn't know how to explain it to the sect."

And that's not even counting the losses from the auction; otherwise the total would be even greater.

"Even this, not counting the losses from the auction, otherwise the amount would be greater."

So this time, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder is obviously much more wary; he absolutely must not act rashly.

"So, this time the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace is obviously much more wary; he absolutely must not act too hastily."

After a round of questioning, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder finally said just one thing.

"After a round of questioning, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace finally said just one sentence."

"I'll come to the Thirty-Third Floor tomorrow; we'll talk more then."

"Tomorrow I will come to San Shi San Lou; we'll talk then."

"This..."

"This.................."

"What's this? Could it be my fault?"

"What is this 'this'? Could it be my problem?"

Seeing the Thirty-Third Floor manager looking embarrassed, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder immediately snapped.

"Seeing the manager of San Shi San Lou somewhat embarrassed, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace immediately snapped angrily."

If it weren't for the previous two failures, would he act this way? Can we blame him?

"If it weren't for the losses of the previous two times, would he act like this? Can it be blamed on him?"

In response, the Thirty-Third Floor manager naturally had no retort; he could only nod in agreement, saying they'd just think it over overnight.

"In response, the manager of San Shi San Lou naturally had no temper; he could only nod in agreement, letting him consider it for a night."

He then took his leave; meanwhile, the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder, after ordering his subordinates to rebuild the destroyed residence, also retreated into a cavern.

"Then he took his leave; and after instructing his subordinates to rebuild the destroyed residence, the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace also dove into a cave dwelling."

The residence was destroyed, so for now he can only dwell in the cavern.

"The residence was destroyed; for now he can only reside in the cave dwelling."

Having received no clear answer, the Thirty-Third Floor manager could only depart first; inside the dining hall, Ye Changqing was unaware of these events, only knowing that the Thirty-Third Floor manager and the Ultimate Bliss Palace Elder had just come to blows.

"Not having received a definite answer, the manager of San Shi San Lou could only leave first; meanwhile, inside the canteen, Ye Zhangqing didn't know any of this, only knowing that just now the manager of San Shi San Lou and the Elder of Ultimate Bliss Palace had just fought."

Combined with the Thirty-Third Floor manager's odd behavior in the previous two encounters, Ye Changqing felt suspicious.

"Combining the manager of San Shi San Lou's strange actions from the previous two times, Ye Zhangqing felt somewhat suspicious."

"Did those two have a falling out? That's why the Thirty-Third Floor manager acted that way before?"

"Did these two fall out? That's why the manager of San Shi San Lou acted that way before?"

After all, looking at it, the Thirty-Third Floor manager had come the previous two times just to give money—Ye Changqing hardly lifted a finger and yet ended up with all those treasures and immortal crystals for free.

"After all, looking at it, the manager of San Shi San Lou came the previous two times just to give money; Ye Zhangqing hardly lifted a finger, yet he gained all those treasures and Immortal Crystals for free."

"How strange."

"How strange."

Just as Ye Zhangqing was racking his brains but couldn't figure it out, the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán suddenly lit up.

Upon connecting the Formation, Tianlin's large face appeared on the other side.

It had been over ten years since they last met, and Tianlin hadn't changed at all—after all, they had reached this level of cultivation; over ten years was nothing but a snap of the fingers.

They hadn't been in touch for a long time, but upon seeing Ye Zhangqing, Tianlin grinned and said.

"You've caused quite a commotion this time—not only did you establish a sect, but you also took Wuji Xiancheng."

"Taken it? Wuji Xiancheng now has so many forces."

Ye Zhangqing laughed and replied.

"That's about right—anyway, Wuji Xiancheng will sooner or later belong to your Dao One Immortal Sect."

"How do you know?"

"I just know—no more talk. I happen to be passing by Wuji Xiancheng lately; let's meet up and have a drink."

"Good."

Tianlin's main purpose in contacting Ye Zhangqing was to inform him that he would be coming to Wuji Xiancheng, so they could meet up then.

Of course, Ye Zhangqing's dishes would definitely be indispensable; as for the fine immortal brew, the young master of the Heavenly Family would take care of it.

If there's no delicious food, how could the fine wine be lacking?

Ye Zhangqing nodded happily and agreed.

They didn't waste words; after finishing their talk, they both quickly disconnected the Formation.

Time quickly moved to the next day, and the Elder from Ultimate Bliss Palace also arrived as promised at San Shi San Lou.

Having made preparations in advance, upon hearing that the Elder from Ultimate Bliss Palace was coming, the shopkeeper of San Shi San Lou personally went out to greet and escort him inside.

As for etiquette, there was nothing wrong with it—there was not a single fault to be found.
