Chapter 97 – Backdoor Deal
As soon as Sect Master Wang heard these words, his heart couldn’t help but thump, secretly beating a drum.
Yesterday, after he and the other higher-ups, received the notification from Li Feiyu that Han Li would be coming to Sunset Peak at noon tomorrow, some of them immediately made the proposal to do something during the meeting to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Han Li on the grounds that the other party was too dangerous and not easy to control.
This proposal, however, was met with strenuous opposition from another part of the group. They thought that this move was too dangerous, and that they would easily suffer a strong backlash from the other party if they failed, and thought that they should talk to the other party first before making a final decision.
Those who intended to do it immediately, immediately gave a fierce refutation on the grounds that if the time dragged on, the news would leak out, as well as the night is long and the dream is too much.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that saying that Han Li was too dangerous was just an excuse, but in fact, it was still some people who wanted to scheme for someone else’s cultivation method, intending to reap benefits from this Dr. Han. Even those who were against laying their hands on him, I’m afraid that they also held the same idea, only that they were using a gentler, more covert technique.
These two parties argued in front of Sect Master Wang, until almost before the meeting was adjourned, no one had convinced the other, and they were still chattering away.
In the end, it was the surviving gray-clothed senior uncle who couldn’t stand it anymore, and he coldly said something that made the crowd quiet down immediately.
”You guys killed this Dr. Han, aren’t you afraid that his elders will come looking for him?” The gray-robed man’s words were like a bucket of cool water, immediately waking up the hot-headed executives.
”Yeah! The opponent is so young and so powerful! There must still be elders of the stream of immortals behind them, if we take the risk of getting the other party killed, when their elders come to the door, won’t all of them die without a burial place!”
Upon realizing that harming this Doctor Han would be the same as harming themselves, those who had originally advocated for a poisonous hand collectively changed their tune, and even though there were still one or two lucrative people who still tried to insist, the opinion of treating Han Li in a gentle manner was still unified.
Now that Sect Master Wang had seen Han Li suddenly say such a meaningful word, he was naturally a bit weak, thinking that the other party was so powerful that he had somehow learned the content of yesterday’s argument and had therefore warned him about it.
However, Wang Jiechu as the master of a door has been many years after all, his city and experience are extraordinary. He quickly got rid of the effects caused by the Heaven’s Eye Technique and his complexion returned to normal.
”Why is Divine Doctor Han mouthing such words? The entirety of this sect is indebted to Your Excellency.” After Wang Jiechu calculated in his heart, he also decided to probe the other party’s mouth before saying anything.
”But why have I heard that it seems like someone is trying to disadvantage me!” Han Li laughed coldly and said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Wang was first startled, but after seeing that Han Li didn’t show any signs of wanting to be angry, he then slightly lowered his heart. Since the other party didn’t use an angry tone to say this, and had come to see him alone, it meant that the other party had probably just heard something, and wasn’t aware of the content of the meeting in detail, so it seemed that there was still room to salvage the relationship between the two parties.
”Divine Doctor Han may have misunderstood a bit, yesterday there were indeed a few scum from this sect who attempted to be ungrateful and ungrateful. But Your Excellency, please rest assured that these few people have long been taken down and put under strict guard, knowing that most of the people in this clan are still grateful to Dr. Han, and would never do something that would cause pain to those who are dear to them, and make them fast to those who are enemies.” After Wang Jiechu secretly weighed his options, he spoke the above words with great righteousness.
Han Li laughed coldly in his heart after hearing these words. Ever since he had exposed his strength and helped the Seven Mysteries Sect survive this calamity, he had been using the tropes of “the bird exhausts the bow and hides it” and “crossing the river and tearing down the bridge” to remind himself to be cautious and prudent. Don’t think that if you are kind to someone, they will definitely be grateful to you, you must know that the human heart is the most difficult to gauge. For these people who consider themselves big shots, as long as there are enough benefits, ingratitude and disowning one’s relatives is just a common occurrence, as common as drinking water.
This was also one of the reasons why Han Li had closed his doors to outsiders once he returned to the valley. He intentionally let these executives calm down a bit, so as not to let the fire of greed burn all of their sanity to the ground.
Later, after telling Li Feiyu to take a message about meeting with the higher-ups, Han Li had no intention of meeting these people on time.
One must know that even though his current strength was much higher than that of an ordinary Jianghu person, if the other party used some unseemly tactics, then there were too many ways to put him to death.
Therefore, in order to be safe, he deliberately advanced half a day time, secretly alone to see this Wang DaMaLord.
And just now, he had only slightly tested the other party, and this Wang Da Master had revealed his horse’s foot, so it seemed that these Seven Xuan Clan great figures had really considered taking action against themselves.
But it didn’t matter! Regardless of whether the other party was really making a move or just thinking about it for a bit, he wouldn’t be angered by it either. Because after making a deal with this number one person of the Seven Xuan Clan, he would be far away and would never cross paths with them again.
”Nonsense I won’t just say it! I won’t hide it from Sect Master Wang, after I meet with Your Excellency for this meeting, I will leave this place and go far away, most likely never to return to Caixia Mountain again. And before I leave, I would like to make a deal with Sect Master that will benefit both parties.” Han Li looked straight at Wang Jiechu for a moment before suddenly saying mysteriously.
”A deal?” Sect Master Wang was first stunned when he heard that the other party wanted to leave, but then he was puzzled when he heard that the other party wanted to make a deal with him.
”What kind of deal is there to make between himself and this Divine Doctor Han?” He couldn’t help but be a little confused in his heart.
……
When it came to the originally scheduled meeting time at noon, Han Li did not appear in the Sunset Peak main hall, instead, it was the Wang Sect Master who stepped into the meeting place last in high spirits.
Sect Master Wang declared on the spot that there was no need to wait for the other party, as Han Li had already left Caixia Mountain and was nowhere to be found. It was estimated that the other party would leave the Mirror State, or even the Yue Country, so all the trouble had disappeared.
After the people present heard these words, they all stared at each other with wide eyes, looking at each other in disbelief, and the entire venue was silent.
”People are already gone, so what kind of bullshit idea is that! What to do, do it!” These people thought helplessly.
