C575 Exquisite Young Master 3rd Three Chapters in a Row

"Hey, what do you think about giving everyone ten rare treasures?" After much hesitation, Lee Yuanye finally gave Woo Zhengyang an answer, albeit reluctantly.

Hearing this, Woo Zhengyang was slightly surprised and secretly relieved he hadn't mentioned a number earlier; otherwise, he might have lost out. These rare treasures, as they're called, are incredibly scarce, each a unique marvel of nature. In the previous world, they were even more limited due to the sheer number of people.

Woo Zhengyang wasn't sure about the situation in this world, so he hadn't set a specific amount. In hindsight, that was a wise decision. He had thought that getting three or four treasures per person would be quite rare. In the previous world, even a sect's treasury might not hold more than ten, especially not those with specific properties.

To his surprise, Lee Yuanye offered ten treasures per person. With fourteen people, that meant the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion would need to provide 140 treasures! It seems that despite the constant eerie drizzle in this world, it hasn't affected the growth of these treasures. Plus, with the vast land and sparse population, the consumption is low, allowing a significant accumulation of these treasures.

Especially the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion, which oversees more than just the three Martial Mansions, has undoubtedly amassed a considerable collection over the years...

Woo Zhengyang was stunned into silence, while Lee Yuanye was scared out of his wits, fearing that the amount he offered might not satisfy Woo Zhengyang. If that happened, Woo might just kill the disciples of the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion. In that case, Lee figured he might as well run away, because going back would be just as bad, if not worse.

"Big brother... is it okay or not? Say something!" Lee Yuanye couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm?" Woo Zhengyang snapped out of his thoughts, feigning confusion as he replied, "Say what? Are you asking how your disciples should meet their end? I was just pondering that."

"No... please, big brother! If you're not satisfied, let's negotiate. How about eleven pieces? Eleven, okay?" Lee Yuanye quickly added one more to his offer.

Given Lee Yuanye's usual carefree nature, the fact that he only dared to add one more indicated that the amount was already stretching the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion to its limits.

But that was none of Woo Zhengyang's concern. He was only focused on Yun'er's recovery, and the more rare items, the better.

So, Woo Zhengyang shook his head and said, "Just one more? Are you trying to brush me off like a beggar? If you double it, I might consider giving you a chance."

"Double it? Twenty pieces? Boss, you might as well just kill me... I'll be honest with you, I once sneaked into our Heavenly Mirror Pavilion's treasury. The total number of rare items there is just over a hundred. Even the more common plant-based treasures don't exceed a hundred pieces. What I offered was already the limit after scouring all our Martial Mansion could provide!" Lee Yuanye said unabashedly.

The leaders of the three Martial Mansions were visibly upset. This guy was just too shameless, always scheming against others, even if it meant hurting himself in the process!

"If you want me to kill you, feel free to follow me into the Misty Mountain Range. Oh, and just a reminder, I was planning to take your life anyway. Even if you hand over all your treasures, it won't change a thing. But if you're truly desperate to save your skin, I wouldn't mind making a deal. Each of those young ones is worth twenty treasures, so as the esteemed son of the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion's leader, you must be worth at least two hundred treasures!"

After saying this, Woo Zhengyang felt a bit ashamed, realizing he had caught some of Lee Yuanye's shamelessness.

"Two hundred treasures? Brother, my life isn't worth that much!"

"Whether it's worth it or not... does that concern me? See you in two weeks!" With that, Woo Zhengyang glanced in the direction of the three Martial Mansion leaders and said, "I'm sure you all heard. Young Master Yuanye and I have reached an agreement—twenty treasures each. We'll meet again in two weeks!" With those words, Woo Zhengyang turned and walked into the Misty Mountain Range.

The leaders of the three Martial Mansions were left speechless and frustrated. If they could kill Lee Yuanye without facing repercussions from the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion, they would have torn him apart on the spot.

Why did you have to insist on a number? Now look, the amount is set, and it's way beyond what they imagined.

Your disciples at the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion are at the Tendon Bone Stage, while our Martial Mansion disciples are only at the Inner Stage. If you hadn't asked, they could have easily offered some rare treasures, and I'm sure Woo Zhengyang wouldn't have minded too much. But now, it's become twenty pieces...

What's even more shameless is that Lee Yuanye just made it clear that the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion will be collecting rare treasures from the Martial Mansion. So, even if they don't plan to give them to Woo Zhengyang, they still have to hand them over to the Pavilion. Given that, they'd naturally choose the former option, whether they like it or not.

The three of them were seething with anger, not wanting to deal with someone who takes pleasure in causing trouble for his own people. Yet, this guy seemed completely unaware of the resentment he was causing. After Woo Zhengyang left, Lee Yuanye immediately dropped his subservient act and returned to his lofty demeanor as the young master of the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion. He called out, "Masters of the three mansions, come over here for a moment. Let's discuss this."

The three mansion masters were frustrated but eventually approached Lee Yuanye.

"Don't worry, masters. I was just bluffing that kid. I don't have the authority to make such decisions. When the time comes, just report the situation and his demands to my father. He'll definitely stand up for the three Martial Mansions. That kid won't be able to cause trouble for long."

Lee Yuanye suddenly started explaining with a pleasant demeanor, catching the three mansion leaders off guard. The leader of the Sea Heart Martial Palace quickly praised, "Young Master Yuanye, you're so wise."

But everyone knew that this compliment was insincere.

No matter how pleasant you act, it doesn't change the fact that you just put all three martial mansions in a tough spot. Originally, this was the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion's issue, but somehow, you've made it seem like it's our problem, and you're the ones solving it for us.

We could have resolved this with just a few rare treasures, but you've turned it into a situation requiring twenty.
