Douluo Dalu: White Tiger

Chapter 117 The sky-high asking price
In the room of the Falling Star Palace, everyone sat together. Ye Xuan and Qian Renxue sat in the main seats, with Ye Xishui sitting on their left, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Chenxin on their right, and Tang Xiao and Lieyang sitting opposite them.

As soon as he sat down, Ye Xuan said directly: "Fifty million gold soul coins, or resources of equal value, this matter is over. From now on, we, the Xingyun Palace and the Haotian Sect, will not interfere with each other."

"Palace Master Ye, if you say so, we'd better go to war. My Haotian Sect is not afraid of your Xingyun Palace." Tang Xiao said it very straightforwardly. It is simply impossible to come up with 50 million.

"Then there's no need to talk, let's just go to war." Ye Xuan glanced at Tang Hao and secretly reached out to touch Qian Renxue.

Ning Fengzhi was speechless when he saw the two of them were about to go to war after a disagreement. He had no idea whether Ye Xuan dared to go to war or not. After all, in his impression, there was nothing Ye Xuan didn't dare to do. As for Tang Xiao, he was sure that Tang Xiao didn't want to go to war. Otherwise, Tang Xiao wouldn't be sitting here and negotiating with Ye Xuan.

"Tang Xiao, Ye Xuan, you need to have a calm and peaceful talk. An all-out war will not benefit either of you. Since you want to talk, then you should ask for a high price and then pay low. As long as we keep talking, we can get a result that both sides can accept and avoid a war." Ning Fengzhi had a peaceful smile on his face and his voice sounded softly in the room.

"Xiaoxuan, what Sect Master Ning said makes a lot of sense. Why don't we take a step back and instead of asking for 50 million gold soul coins, ask for just 45 million gold soul coins." Qian Renxue also had a faint smile on her face.

Ye Xuan closed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers, pretending to be in deep thought. After a while, Ye Xuan opened his eyes and said calmly: "Okay, then our Xingyun Palace will take a step back. It only takes 45 million gold soul coins, or resources of equal value."

After Ning Fengzhi heard Ye Xuan's voice, he looked at Tang Xiao and asked, "Tang Xiao, it's time for you Haotian Sect to talk about the price."

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Five hundred thousand gold soul coins. This is the highest price that Haotian Sect can offer."

"Hehe, since you, the Haotian Sect, have no sincerity in negotiating, then there's no need to talk further. You, the Haotian Sect, have the nerve to ask for 500,000 gold soul coins?" Ye Xuan chuckled, put his hands behind his head, and looked at Tang Xiao fiercely.

Qian Renxue also shook her head and said, "If it's only 500,000 gold soul coins, then you, the Haotian Sect, really don't have any sincerity in negotiating. It's better to go to war."

Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang Xiao. The price of 500,000 gold soul coins was more than enough to repair the ground, and there would even be a lot left. But the current look of Ye Xuan and Qian Renxue showed that they were obviously not satisfied with this.

Tang Xiao frowned slightly. He didn't want to go to war with the Xingyun Palace, nor did he want to lose a lot of money and resources needed for cultivation. Moreover, their Haotian Sect was not rich at the moment. If they really took out tens of millions of gold soul coins, then the disciples of their Haotian Sect might have to starve in the future.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the expressions of both parties, thought for a while, and then said: "Ye Xuan, the price you want is really too high. The price you offered, Tang Xiao, is also a bit low. Why don't you each take a step back and let this matter drop for five million gold soul coins. What do you think?" Ning Fengzhi showed a peaceful smile, waiting for the answers from both parties, and he was sure that this price was within Tang Xiao's acceptable range. As for whether Ye Xuan and Qian Renxue would be satisfied, he didn't know.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan and Qian Renxue looked at each other, a fleeting smile appeared in their eyes, but neither of them spoke.

Tang Xiao also did not speak. Just as Ning Fengzhi thought, five million gold soul coins were still within his affordability, but he did not want to take them out now. Instead, he was waiting for Ye Xuan and Qian Renxue's responses first.

"Five million gold soul coins, thirty rare treasures, plus two soul bones, otherwise no deal." Ye Xuan's indifferent voice echoed in the room.

"I can give you ten more rare treasures, but I can't give you soul bones." Tang Xiao supported his hands on the table, his voice sounding unusually firm.

"Xiao Xuan, for the sake of Sect Master Ning, we will give the Haotian Sect a discount and we will just take twenty rare treasures and one soul bone." Qian Renxue looked at Ye Xuan, her voice sounding a little serious.

"Xue'er, the cost of repairing the ground is very high. Five million gold soul coins may not be enough for me. If it is a little less, we will lose a lot. But for the sake of Sect Master Ning, I can reluctantly accept your proposal. I just don't know if the Haotian Sect will agree." Ye Xuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his temple, pretending to have a headache.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the two people singing the same tune and just smiled without saying anything. Why didn't you give me face just now, but now you say you are giving me face.

Hearing this, Tang Xiao frowned slightly, but said nothing.

The room seemed somewhat quiet. Ye Xuan, Qian Renxue, and Ning Fengzhi had no intention of speaking. Instead, they were quietly waiting for Tang Xiao's answer.

After a long while, Tang Xiao finally spoke up: "Okay, I agree to the five million gold soul coins, twenty immortal herbs, and one soul bone you mentioned. However, it will take us a few days to gather these resources."

"Okay, I'll give you five days, you can go back and prepare first. If I don't get the things after five days, don't blame me for taking people to Haotian Sect. After all, I know where the secluded place of your Haotian Sect is." Ye Xuan tapped the table with his fingers, making a tapping sound.

"We in the Haotian Sect will naturally not go back on our promises. Within five days, we in the Haotian Sect will definitely offer five million gold soul coins, twenty rare treasures, and one soul bone. We will not stay here for long and will leave first." As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiao stood up from his seat, supported Lieyang, and walked straight out of the Xingyun Palace.

Ye Xuan did not stop them. He just sat there and watched Tang Xiao and the others leave.

After Tang Xiao left, Ning Fengzhi glanced at Qian Renxue, then quickly looked away, smiled faintly and said, "Xiaoxuan, now that the matter has been resolved, we should return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
