Chapter 2653: Give you a chance!

"You..."

Long death date didn't expect Ye Chen to refuse the condition she gave so decisively.

Long death date, who had almost never been refused, couldn't help but question somewhat unhappily: "Mr. Ye, I don't know how our Tai Zhen Dao's treasure came into your hands, but I believe you probably didn't use any fair and square means."

Ye Chen sneered: "Miss Long makes a conclusion without knowing the whole story; it's really too self-centered. Whether I used fair and square means, why don't you ask your master?"

Hong Changqing on the side hurriedly said: "death date, don't be rude to Mr. Ye! Mr. Ye getting the medicine cauldron was naturally fair and square. It was Master who voluntarily gave it to Mr. Ye!"

Long death date couldn't take it and retorted: "Master, the medicine cauldron is Tai Zhen Dao's thing, and you were only keeping it on behalf of Tai Zhen Dao. What qualification do you have to dispose of it at will? You are only the sect leader of Tai Zhen Dao. Your duty is to inherit the learning for the saints of Tai Zhen Dao for thousands of years. This doesn't mean all of Tai Zhen Dao's resources are at your disposal!"

"This..."

Being confronted by her personal disciple with such righteous words, Hong Changqing indeed felt he had lost face and also felt ashamed.

He knew his own limitations. Back then, he was the one who played dirty, deliberately using the medicine cauldron to lure Shi Tianqi into the trap. But he didn't expect Shi Tianqi's granddaughter to make a call to Ye Chen, which not only ruined his scheme but also made him lose the medicine cauldron to Ye Chen.

Moreover, he also knew that Long death date was right. He was just one of the thirty-nine sect leaders of Tai Zhen Dao. This didn't mean Tai Zhen Dao had become his personal asset. The treasure of Tai Zhen Dao was something he was only keeping on behalf of the sect; he had no qualification to give it away without authorization.

However, he was powerless in this matter! After all, he was the one who cheated first and was caught red-handed by Ye Chen. If he didn't give the medicine cauldron to Ye Chen, he was afraid that decades of cultivation would be destroyed.

Originally, he thought Long death date didn't know about things only the sect leader knew. As long as he didn't speak, he could muddle through.

But he didn't expect that his master really doted on Long death date and had told her about this matter early on.

This led to him being unable to justify himself now.

Helpless, he could only tell Long death date truthfully: "death date, when Master came to Jin Ling back then, it was to find a worldly expert in the field of alchemy, hoping to get some guidance. But in the process of searching, Master was greedy for convenience and had crooked thoughts, which eventually offended Mr. Ye. Knowing I was in the wrong, I could only voluntarily use the medicine cauldron to apologize to Mr. Ye..."

Long death date's slender sword eyebrows tightened, and she was about to question him, but Hong Changqing hurriedly said: "Master knows you are right! Master indeed had no qualification to give away Tai Zhen Dao's treasure without authorization. So all the mistakes are Master's alone. Master is a sinner of Tai Zhen Dao!"

Long death date asked angrily: "Master, can saying you are a sinner solve the problem? The key now is how to compensate for the major loss you caused to Tai Zhen Dao!"

After saying this, she looked at Ye Chen and said: "Mr. Ye, since my master said that just now, I won't argue with you about the ownership of the medicine cauldron anymore. I just want to ask you one thing: how much money are you willing to sell this medicine cauldron for?"

Ye Chen smiled: "I already said it, Miss Long. Even if you put all your father's assets in front of me, I won't agree."

Long death date frowned, secretly thinking: "This guy surnamed Ye is probably unaware of how much money my father has. In a domestic second-tier city like Jin Ling, several billion US dollars is probably the ceiling, but my father's assets are at least over twenty billion US dollars!"

Thinking of this, Long death date immediately said: "Mr. Ye, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. As long as you give me the medicine cauldron, I can pay you a very generous reward, which can ensure you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

Ye Chen smiled and asked: "Miss Long can try to name a price. I'll see if it's really generous."

Long death date glanced at Ye Chen and said with arrogance: "If you give me the medicine cauldron, I can pay you one hundred million US dollars on the spot!"

In Long death date's view, one hundred million US dollars was a huge sum for anyone, and for most people, it was an astronomical figure they didn't dare to dream of. Her offer was already full of sincerity.

However, hearing this offer, Ye Chen just smiled indifferently and said: "I didn't expect Miss Long to be so generous."

Long death date said expressionlessly: "My offer is only valid this morning. So if Mr. Ye wants to trade at this price, please bring the medicine cauldron over as soon as possible."

Ye Chen waved his hand and smiled: "Miss Long, anyone who wants this medicine cauldron must start talking from ten billion US dollars. And I need to verify the funds first. Without ten billion US dollars in cash, don't even open your mouth."

"What did you say?!" Long death date was stunned, then questioned: "Ten billion US dollars?! Mr. Ye, do you think money is blown by the wind? Do you know how much ten billion US dollars is?"

Ye Chen smiled: "I know. To tell you the truth, Miss Long, ten billion US dollars is just the starting price. You take out ten billion US dollars first, and then we can talk about this problem. As for how much it will eventually cost, there is no cap."

Long death date thought Ye Chen was deliberately teasing her and said angrily: "Mr. Ye, I am talking to you with full sincerity, and you are being so unreasonable. It's really boring!"

"Unreasonable?" Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Since Miss Long thinks I'm being unreasonable, then we can stop here. I also ask Miss Long not to mention the medicine cauldron from now on."

Long death date didn't expect Ye Chen to not give her any chance at all, and she was very angry in her heart.

For Long death date, she had almost never been refused in her life, let alone she had been well-off since childhood. Not only was she the apple of her family's eye, but she was also the most doted-upon disciple of the previous sect leader of Tai Zhen Dao. She grew up in Tai Zhen Dao and walked sideways in Tai Zhen Dao. Even the dogs raised by Tai Zhen Dao dared to bare their teeth at Hong Changqing, but they never dared to stare at Long death date.

But such an apple of the eye had repeatedly hit a wall in front of Ye Chen, which she couldn't accept in her heart.

So, she said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, what exactly will it take for you to sell that medicine cauldron?"

Ye Chen saw that although she was two years older than him, she seemed to have no social experience at all, so he intended to teach her a lesson.

Immediately, Ye Chen deliberately looked her up and down lightly and smiled: "For a beautiful woman like Miss Long, how can I have the heart to take your money? Since you like that medicine cauldron, just take it. I can take no money at all, as long as Miss Long remembers that you owe me a favor."

Long death date saw Ye Chen's eyes were full of teasing and frivolity, so she guessed he was deliberately teasing her, and her expression became colder: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I appreciate your kindness, but I never owe anyone favors! You'd better name a price!"

Ye Chen had long guessed that Long death date would definitely say this, so he deliberately pouted and said: "Oh, Miss Long, isn't this a bit too full of yourself?"

Long death date said proudly: "I, Long death date, always say what I mean and never brag!"

Ye Chen smiled narrowly: "Whether it's bragging, I'll know in one try."

Long death date frowned: "What do you mean?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Miss Long might as well stretch out your hand, and let me read your palm."

"Lecher!" Long death date scolded sharply: "I didn't expect that besides being glib, your thoughts are so filthy!"

Ye Chen smiled: "Miss Long misunderstood. I don't mean to take advantage of you. I just want to verify whether you were bragging when you said you never owe anyone favors!"

Long death date snorted coldly and gritted her teeth: "I, Long death date! At any time! Will never brag!"

Ye Chen nodded: "Then Miss Long, stretch out your hand. You'll know in a minute."

Long death date stretched out her hand in front of Ye Chen with anger and said coldly: "I want to see what medicine you are selling in your gourd!"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently, reached out and gently held Long death date's soft, white, and slender palm, teasing: "Miss Long's skin is so well-maintained. Your little hand feels smooth."

Long death date wanted to pull her hand back in anger, but she didn't expect that her palm was held in Ye Chen's palm and couldn't move at all.

Just when she was horrified, Ye Chen looked at her and smiled narrowly: "Come, I'll give you a chance!"

After saying this, he passed Qi into Long death date's slender, tender, and white palm. The powerful Qi instantly rushed into Long death date's dantian, instantly unblocking the three meridians in her body that hadn't been unblocked yet!

Long death date only felt a surging, masculine, and powerful force rushing into her body. Before she had time to shout in pain, she felt that force rushing wildly against her meridians and dantian.

The next second, she suddenly felt as if her whole spirit had instantly cleared, and her entire perception ability had undergone a reborn change!

She couldn't help but murmur to herself: "I... how come all my meridians are suddenly unblocked?!"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Miss Long, congratulations. You are now a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Bright Realm!"

"What?!" Long death date and Hong Changqing both exclaimed!

Long death date had regarded the Great Perfection of the Bright Realm as her ultimate goal for a lifetime and never dreamed that she would achieve it so easily in an instant.

And Hong Changqing was incomparably shocked. He knew Ye Chen was strong, but he didn't know Ye Chen was so strong that he could not only seal his four meridians in a conversation but also unblock all three of Long death date's meridians in the blink of an eye!

The simple-minded Long death date only had the excitement and joy of suddenly becoming a top expert at the Great Perfection of the Bright Realm in her mind and didn't have time to think about how this happened.

But just at this moment, Ye Chen suddenly used Qi to seal the three meridians he had just unblocked for her, looked at her, and smiled: "Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Long. I did intend to give you a chance, but I just remembered that you clearly said you never owe anyone favors! How can I make things difficult for you?" ===== CHAPTER 2654 =====
