Chapter 263: Chen Xiaotian's Too Presumptuous
"Jiang Tuanhua sent Cui Ming over to our side, wanting to discuss an alliance against the Nine Fiend Sect?" Huang Xiaolong looked over at Chen Xiaotian beside him.
"Yes, Young Lord!" Chen Xiaotian confirmed.
"Where is that Cui Ming now?" Huang Xiaolong asked another question.
"He's right outside in the great hall." Chen Xiaotian answered.
Huang Xiaolong nodded. Since two months ago, Huang Xiaolong had predicted that Blood Swallow Sect would try to make an alliance with the Sky Magi Sect. The conflict between Blood Swallow School and Nine Fiend Sect placed Blood Swallow School at a disadvantage, going against the stronger Nine Fiend Sect. At last, their remaining option was to ally themselves with the Sky Magi Sect.
"Young Lord, how shall we proceed?" Chen Xiaotian ventured cautiously.
"Tell him to go back." Huang Xiaolong's tone was solemn, "Tell him that if Blood Swallow School wants to ally with the Sky Magi Sect, Jiang Tianhua must come himself, bearing gifts."
Chen Xiaotian was stunned, he had assumed Huang Xiaolong would agree.
Tell Jiang Tianhua to come in person? Jiang Tianhua's status and identity in Black Demon City was a tad more influential than Chen Xiaotian, yet Jiang Tianhua was to come bearing gifts?
"Yes, Young Lord." Although feeling doubtful, Chen Xiaotian dare not disobey Huang Xiaolong's instructions. He saluted and left, making his way to the great hall.
When Chen Xiaotian arrived at the great hall, he saw Cui Ming sitting leisurely, sipping on a cup of fragrant tea.
Cui Ming did not stand up even after he noticed Chen Xiaotian walking in, he continued to enjoy his tea and said, "Sovereign Chen, have you thought about it?" In Cui Ming's opinion, the Sky Magi Sect would definitely agree to their request. Otherwise, once Nine Fiend Sect uprooted the Blood Swallow School, it would be hard for the Sky Magi Sect to survive in Black Demon City. In the end, Sky Magi Sect would suffer the same fate as Blood Swallow School.
Watching Cui Ming continuing to drink tea comfortably, Chen Xiaotian secretly sneered, "If the Blood Swallow School wants to ally with us, let Jiang Tianhua come bearing gifts."
Cui Ming had just taken a sip, the hand holding the cup halted midway as he stared dumbly at Chen Xiaotian for a moment, as if he did not expect Chen Xiaotian to actually decline.
Let Jiang Tianhua come bearing gifts? Cui Ming's expression became gloomy when he understood Chen Xiaotian's underlying meaning.
"Sovereign Chen, you're sure you want our Doyen to come over himself bearing gifts?" Cui Ming's face turned ugly.
Chen Xiaotian retorted simply, "I believe you are not deaf."
"You!" Angered, Cui Ming jumped to his feet.
"What, you want to start a fight?" Chen Xiaotian taunted the other side.
Cui Ming suppressed his anger with much difficulty. To Chen Xiaotian he said, "Good, good. I will return and report your exact words to our Doyen. Sovereign Chen, I hope you will not regret your decision today!"
"Regret?" Chen Xiaotian: "You can scram now."
Scram! Cui Ming's face turned red, but he did not utter a single word more. He exited the great hall and headed straight towards Blood Swallow Sect's headquarters.
Blood Swallow School headquarters' great hall.
"Chen Xiaotian really said so, he wants me to go over in person bearing gifts?" When Jiang Tianhua heard Cui Ming's report, he was surprised. Subsequently, his expression darkened.
