94 Long-cherished Wish Accomplished, Obtaining the Mutated Core!
“You…”
Zhou Xiruo frowned in anger. The expressions of the others did not look too good either, but they did not know how to refute.
This kind of thing was just like the analysis of battle cases in class. Both sides were reasonable.
Even if Wang Xiao and the others were the ones who fought Andu in the end, who could say that it had nothing to do with the sacrifices of the previous lords?
At this moment, Wang Xiao walked out of the crowd and revealed a puzzled expression. “Why are you here?”
Seeing Wang Xiao, Tian Qiang immediately subconsciously took a step back. When he reacted, he immediately stepped forward and sneered, “Don’t tell me you think I died in the secret realm? Do you really think that no one can survive without your protection?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Wang Xiao waved his hand and pointed at Tian Qiang, but his eyes looked at Fang Tianyu. “Didn’t you say that today is the thank-you banquet? This guy fled from the beginning. What is there to thank him for?”
Fang Tianyu hesitated for a moment and finally replied truthfully, “This is my grandfather’s idea. Almost all the geniuses of the academy’s younger generation have been invited to this banquet. It’s not very polite to leave him behind.”
Wang Xiao let out a long “Oh” and looked at Tian Qiang with a faint smile. “So you invited him out of pity?”
“Pfft!”
Someone in the crowd laughed. Tian Qiang immediately felt a little embarrassed. He put down his cup heavily and said coldly, “Wang Xiao! Watch your words! I was retreating strategically, not escaping!”
“Okay, okay, okay. You’re right. I’m too shallow.”
Wang Xiao nodded perfunctorily and walked towards the official venue.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiruo immediately followed. The others looked at each other and followed.
Soon, only Tian Qiang was left in the originally lively courtyard.
Everyone’s obvious cold treatment made Tian Qiang’s expression twist.
Previously, when Wang Xiao became famous in the lord competition, it had already made Tian Qiang feel extremely unconvinced. He was clearly the champion of the lord competition, so why was everyone flattering Wang Xiao?
Crack!
Tian Qiang squeezed the glass into powder. Blood dripped from his fingertips onto the white tablecloth, but it was as if he did not feel the pain.
“Wang Xiao!”
Tian Qiang gritted his teeth and said coldly, “One day, I’ll trample you under my feet and let everyone see who’s the true genius!”
After taking one last look in the direction of the official venue, Tian Qiang turned around and left the Fang family without hesitation. Since no one welcomed him here, he did not have to continue asking for trouble!
“Just you wait! One day, I’ll show you how powerful I am!”
Tian Qiang thought angrily as he walked. Suddenly, a strong wind attacked. He only felt a pain in the back of his head before falling unconscious.
At the Fang family’s banquet venue.
More than ten young lords sat on both sides of the long dining table. In the middle of the dining table was a candlestick with incense and flowers. Wang Xiao sat in the first seat on the left, and the lord furthest away from him was six to seven meters away.
“Do rich people go through so much trouble just to eat?”
Wang Xiao turned to Zhou Xiruo beside him and asked softly, “If we’re going to chat with one another during dinner, our throats will be hoarse after we finish eating, right?”
Zhou Xiruo rolled her eyes at Wang Xiao and was about to speak when the dining room door was suddenly pushed open. Fang Tianyu walked in with a silver-haired old man.
This old man looked to be in his eighties, but he was hale and hearty. His figure was tall and straight. Even without Fang Tianyu’s help, he walked with vigor. The energy aura on his body was extremely dense. It was obvious that he was an expert!
“Hello, Old Master Fang!”
Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him.
“Hehe, nice to meet you too!”
Old Master Fang chuckled and waved his hand. After everyone sat down, he continued, “I believe everyone already knows. I invited you here today to thank everyone for taking care of my Tianyu in the secret realm.”
“Old Master Fang is too polite!”
“We’re classmates. This is what we should do!”
“Fang Tianyu’s strength is also not bad. She has also taken care of us a lot!”
…
Everyone expressed that they were welcome. Old Master Fang smiled and did not say anything. He only gently clapped his hands and more than ten servants walked in with a tray covered with a red cloth.
“This is a small token of appreciation. Please accept it!”
Old Master Fang smiled and said. The servants placed the tray in front of their respective lords. Then, the red cloth was lifted. It was actually green quality resource balls!
Wang Xiao casually picked it up and took a look. Good lord! The resource ball that could store 100,000 units was actually filled to the brim. Moreover, many of them could be used as hard currency on the trading market. They could be exchanged for at least a million star coins!
The others clearly also looked at the items in the resource ball and gasped.
Although there were quite a number of people with illustrious family backgrounds among them, how could they not be surprised when Old Master Fang offered tens of millions of star coins?
A young lord hurriedly put the resource ball back. He stood up and cupped his hands at Old Fang. “Old Master Fang, this is too precious. I can’t accept it!”
With someone taking the lead, the others also put the resource balls back.
Seeing this, Old Master Fang straightened his face. “Everyone here is a young genius with a limitless future! How can you not accept my greeting gift? Could it be that you are looking down on this old man?”
“No, no!”
“We wouldn’t dare!”
…
At this point, no one could refuse anymore.
They all thanked him and picked up the resource ball. After Yang Fan took away the green resource ball, he took out another white resource ball and placed it on the tray.
“Old Master Fang, this is 10,000 units of [Fine Copper Ore]. This is my first time visiting. Please accept my respect.”
...
Yang Fan cupped his hands at Old Master Fang from afar. Seeing this, the others followed suit and placed their gifts on the tray.
Some gave ore, and some gave spirit grass, but they were not valuable things.
Wang Xiao’s expression immediately became strange. This was because compared to the gifts these people had prepared, his 1,000 units of purple gold mineral were clearly quite explosive!
He turned to look at Zhou Xiruo. The latter was already so guilty that she did not dare to look him in the eye.
Wang Xiao sighed in his heart, but he still took out the green resource ball he had prepared.
“Old Master Fang, this was prepared by me and my vassal lord, Zhou Xiruo.”
Wang Xiao pointed at Zhou Xiruo beside him and tried his best not to show a pained expression. “There are a total of 100 units of purple gold mineral and 100 spiritual herbs of various attributes.”
“A hundred units of purple gold mineral?”
“Damn! Wang Xiao, when did you become so rich?”
“I only got dozens of units the day before yesterday, but you’re giving me a hundred units right away?”
…
...
Hearing this gift, everyone could not help but exclaim. Even Old Master Fang revealed a surprised expression. He clearly did not expect Wang Xiao to be so generous!
Wang Xiao ignored the others and directly cupped his hands at Old Master Fang. “Old Master Fang, please don’t decline. This is because this isn’t just a gift for my first visit, these things are also to exchange for something from the Fang family.”
“It’s the [Mutated Core], right?”
Old Master Fang revealed an expression as if he had long expected this. Then, he took out a brocade box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a golden ball.
Wang Xiao’s attention was instantly attracted because it was the Mutated Core that he had been searching for for a long time!
