C612 Let's Talk about the Compensation Problem 2

"You're telling me to get lost? You should be asking if we're going to let you leave," Lee Yuanye retorted, unfazed and full of swagger.

Turning to Woo Zhengyang with a mischievous grin, Lee Yuanye continued, "Zhengyang, what do you think we should do with these outsiders? Should we burn the men and clean up the women to send to your room? Not to mention, this big girl here has a certain mysterious allure, don't you think?"

As soon as Lee Yuanye finished speaking, Woo Zhengyang felt the gaze of the five women around him shift slightly. They already disliked Lee Yuanye's reckless behavior, and even though some of it was just an act, they couldn't accept it. They feared he might lead Woo Zhengyang astray. Now, with Lee Yuanye's words, their anger was palpable.

"Lee Yuanye, I think you're asking for trouble. If you keep trying to corrupt our young master, I'll have Yun'er deal with you!" Huo'er said, her cheeks puffed with anger.

"No need, you handle it yourself," Woo Zhengyang quickly distanced himself from the situation.

"You... you're something else, Lee Yuanye. I'll remember this. You better kill me today, because if you don't, I'll repay this humiliation tenfold someday!" the Black-robed Nun snapped, her anger boiling over.

"Oh, still so defiant, even threatening me? Do you really think I won't deal with you harshly? But since you said that, maybe I won't kill you after all. We still have some scores to settle."

"What debt are you talking about?"

"You at Moon Light Martial Mansion plotted against me and Mr. Zhengyang, didn't you?"

"Hmph! It's true that we at Moon Light Martial Mansion were in the wrong. I did order them to deal with Woo Zhengyang, but I never instructed them to use such methods, especially using a woman as bait. If I had known, I would have stopped it."

The Black-robed Holy Nun admitted it outright. Considering her stance as a feminist, she would never have allowed Moon Light Martial Mansion to use Sun Siyu to trap Woo Zhengyang.

"Good, as long as you admit it!"

"Hmph! And you two coming to our Moon Light Martial Mansion—was that entirely aboveboard? I don't believe you were just here for the Moonlight Jade Dew Brew!" the Black-robed Holy Nun retorted coldly.

Woo Zhengyang felt a bit embarrassed. It was true; no one here was naive. They used Sun Siyu as bait, and he had also played a part, though he had some boundaries and didn't go to such extremes.

"Come on... Just because you say it wasn't aboveboard doesn't make it so. We didn't come here to burn, kill, or loot, did we? We didn't commit any crimes! We just came to enjoy the moon, have a drink, recite some poetry, and exchange ideas, and yet you plotted against us. So, who's really not being aboveboard here?"

This time, Woo Zhengyang was impressed. Lee Yuanye was indeed a master of strategy, speaking with such confidence and righteousness without breaking a sweat!

"Hmph! Victory or defeat, today my Moon Light Martial Mansion admits its loss! But I'm right here, and if you want to destroy my Mansion, even with a peak Martial Emperor, be prepared to pay a price," declared the Black-robed Holy Nun, ready to go down fighting.

"Pfft... Still acting tough at this point? Relax, we're reasonable people. Since you've admitted defeat, we won't make things too hard for you. Let's talk about compensation!"

"Compensation?" the Black-robed Holy Nun repeated, puzzled.

"You schemed against me and Mr. Zhengyang, and you even damaged my priceless treasure. Shouldn't there be compensation?" Lee Yuanye pointed at the Invincible Cannon Car, looking heartbroken. If Woo Zhengyang didn’t know better, he might have thought it was some kind of legendary artifact that got ruined.

"This... What grade is your treasure? We'll compensate!" The Black-robed Holy Nun was indeed fooled.

"My treasure is a top-tier Emperor artifact!"

"Nonsense, there haven't been any Emperor artifacts in ages, let alone top-tier ones!"

"Just because you say there aren't any doesn't make it true. You thought there were no Emperor Rank cultivators either, yet here we are, beating you soundly."

"You..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Have you ever seen my priceless treasure before? Didn't you witness its terrifying power? And just look at the design, the craftsmanship—haven't you ever seen anything like it before?"

The Black-robed Holy Nun was left speechless by Lee Yuanye's words. After a long silence, she replied coldly, "An Emperor Rank treasure? We can't afford that!"

"Can't afford it? And that's it?"

"Then what do you suggest?"

"I can see that your grand Moon Light Martial Mansion is strapped for cash, even poorer than I am. How about this: let us borrow your big moon for a few days, and we'll call it even!"

"What? No way!"

"Impossible, it's our sacred artifact!"

"We'd rather die than hand over our sacred artifact!"

As soon as Lee Yuanye finished speaking, the Black-robed Holy Nun and the leaders of the Moon Light Martial Mansion almost simultaneously rejected the idea. Their entire mansion survived and trained because of this sacred artifact; there was no way they could just hand it over!

"Look at you all, why the panic? I don't want to take your stuff permanently, just borrow it for a few days. I've found that when I'm around your sacred artifact, I get inspired and can't stop writing poetry," Lee Yuanye fibbed.

"Utter nonsense! Over my dead body will I let you take the sacred artifact!" the Black-robed Holy Nun declared resolutely.

"Oh, I forgot, you need this big moon to survive. No worries, we're not that cruel. You can come with the artifact, and after we've had our fun for a few days, you can take it back."

"What did you just say?" The Black-robed Holy Nun was already gritting her teeth, looking like she was about to make a move.

"Uh... Did I say something ambiguous? Don't get the wrong idea. We're just here to check out your sacred artifact, not you..."

"Lee Yuanye, I swear today that I will kill you one day, no matter what!" The Black-robed Holy Nun was absolutely furious!

Lee Yuanye, however, remained completely unfazed and grinned, "There are plenty of people who want me dead. Where do you rank among them? The line stretches from the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion all the way to the Myriad Desolate Mountain. If you want to kill me, get in line..."

"You..."

The Black-robed Holy Nun was so angry she was probably about to faint. She couldn't fight him, couldn't out-argue him, and was nearly driven to madness by Lee Yuanye.

So, she turned away from him and addressed Woo Zhengyang, "Young Master Woo, why don't you tell me what you all are really here for!"

"Sigh... You know, this is such a minor issue. My buddy Zhengyang won't bother with it. Can't you see he's busy flirting with those beauties over there? Talk to me, and we can work something out!"

"Get lost! Don't talk to me!"

The Black-robed Holy Nun couldn't help but curse again. Even though she was shrouded in her black robe, everyone could see she was trembling with rage.
