descendants to elites, which the Chu royal residence wanted to pull in, as concubines, not only did it satisfy the vanity and dominating personalities of elites, it could also make these elites have a closer relationship with the Chu royal residence. It killed two birds with one stone.
This gave Yi Yun mixed emotions. Girls born from large family clans had a tragic fate if they did not have enough talent.
The Chu royal residence had too many children. For the family clan’s interests, they did not mind sacrificing their children who were of little value. In a large family clan, they had no freedom regarding their marriage.
Seeing all these conditions that lacked anything new, Yi Yun lost interest. He noticed that besides those conditions, even the ‘Truth of the Laws’, which Yang Dingkun had lost to him, had been written into it as one of the conditions.
Even a lost bet could be used as a condition? Yi Yun frowned slightly.
He returned the jade scroll, “Sorry, I’m not interested.”
“This… It’s regretful…” Yang Dingkun shook his head. “Then would little brother Yi please return the ‘Truth of the Laws’ jade scroll to me. According to the Chu royal residence’s rules, the ‘Truth of the Laws’ can only be cultivated by a person from the Chu royal residence. If little brother Yi was willing to accept the conditions on the jade scroll and join the Chu royal residence, then the ‘Truth of the Laws’ can be freely cultivated by little brother Yi. But if you do not agree to that, then please return the jade scroll. According to the Chu royal residence’s rules, Dingkun had no right to use the ‘Truth of the Laws’ as a bet. Hence, the bet does not count. For this, the Chu royal residence has severely punished Dingkun, lowering his position in the family clan by three grades! I have been ordered to remedy the situation.”
“Actually, if little brother Yi were to sign the contract and join the Chu royal residence, it will be a joyous occasion. But since little brother Yi doesn’t wish so, this also makes things difficult for me…”
Yang Yuefeng slowly said, still with a “sincere” tone.
But when Yi Yun heard this, he was amused. What did his difficulties have to do with him?
“Are you joking with me?”
Anything that was gambled is protected under the rules of the Tai Ah Divine City, regardless of the Chu royal residence, Yang royal residence. Even the Divine Emperor himself had no power against it.
The Tai Ah Divine City did not care about any Chu royal residence’s rules. What you lost as a bet meant it was lost. Doesn’t count? Dream on!
“Little brother Yi Yun, don’t be in a hurry to reject me.” Hearing Yi Yun’s sarcastic words, Yang Yuefeng was not annoyed and remained calm. He said, “I know little bother Yi is in the Tai Ah Divine City and is protected by the Divine City. But in the future, little brother Yi will have to leave the Tai Ah Divine City, and it would be unwise to offend the Chu royal residence which has deep connections… Dingkun was in the wrong and he has already been punished by the family. Furthermore, I can get Dingkun to apologize to you.
Yang Yuefeng said this and glanced at Yang Dingkun. Yang Dingkun was clenching his fists tightly, staring at Yi Yun. His eyes were filled with humiliation and frustration.
To apologize to someone was a great insult for a proud person like him. Although it was something very costly to Yang Dingkun, it was worthless to Yi Yun.
Yi Yun wiped his hands and said, “An apology to exchange for something substantial? So Yang Dingkun originally did not have the right to bet the ‘Truth of the Laws’ with me? Then let me ask you, if I were to be the loser in the battle with Li Hong, then would you return the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ to me?” Yi Yun returned with a question. Yang Dingkun’s eyes turned blood red, “Yi Yun, I’ve already apologized. Don’t you push it!”
“Shut up!” Yang Yuefeng berated him. He did not wish for the matter to worsen any further.
He had tried to lower his status as much as he could. He knew that his request was unreasonable, but he was hoping the reputation of the Chu royal residence would prove useful.
No matter where it was, an individual’s power was always subservient to a greater power! Unreasonable things would become reasonable.
He believed that by giving Yi Yun a chance to resolve the situation, Yi Yun would compromise since as the saying goes, “a wise man suits his actions according to the situation”.
“20,000 dragon scale runes. We can give this as a form of compensation.” Yang Yuefeng announced his terms. This was something he had prepared beforehand. It was Yang Yuefeng’s bottom line to pay this amount of dragon scale runes, as a way for Yi Yun to resolve the situation amicably.
“20,000 dragon scale runes?” Yi Yun sneered deep down. He had spent 10,000 dragon scale runes and 2 glory points to exchange for the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’. Glory points were priceless. It was not enough even if someone were to bid a 100,000 or even more dragon s
