Chapter 3469 If they won't give it to me, then I'll just steal it!
"You all come along too; someone will take care of things here."
As he turned to leave, Elder Long continued walking without turning his head, and said calmly.
"Yes!"
Elder Namu's expression hardened, and he quickly lowered his head in response.
He glanced at his disciple lying on the ground, seriously injured, and his expression turned slightly grim.
But for now, we can only follow Elder Long's lead.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Lin Yueyue followed closely behind.
At the scene, only the corpses of the dead disciples remained, along with Elder Mu's disciple who was severely injured and had all his teeth pulled out.
Soon after, several disciples arrived and cleaned up the mess.
The dead men remained calm as they carried away the bodies.
But when they saw Elder Mu's disciples, they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
"This is too cruel!"
"Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but to break their teeth like this is utter humiliation!"
"Stop talking, clean up here and leave quickly."
The disciples talked amongst themselves, then lifted Elder Mu's disciple up and left the place.
As they were being carried, Elder Mu's disciple stared with venomous eyes at the direction where Ye Junlin and the others had left.
……
The meeting hall.
Led by Elder Long, Ye Junlin and the others arrived in front of a magnificent building.
Standing at the door.
From here, you can see that quite a few people are already seated inside the council chamber.
Each of them possessed an extraordinary aura; they were all elders of the council hall.
Among them are many beings at the Earthly Supreme Realm!
In addition, there are also some favored or exceptionally talented disciples among them.
"Great Elder!"
Upon entering, everyone present stood up, cupped their hands, bowed, and respectfully greeted Elder Long.
"Please take your seats."
Elder Long didn't waste any words. He raised his hand and pressed them down, his face showing little emotion.
Here, he is the absolute leader!
That aura was completely evident.
Everyone takes their seats.
Elder Long looked at Ye Junlin and pointed to one of the seats: "Young friend Ye, please take a seat as well."
Ye Junlin remained calm and sat down in that spot.
"You can just stand there."
Elder Long glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao and Lin Yueyue, as well as Elder Mu.
Elder Mu, being an elder, should have been allowed to take a seat.
The reason I'm doing this now is actually to let Ye Junlin see it.
As for Jiang Xiaoxiao and Lin Yueyue, although they are exceptionally talented, they are, after all, disciples. They are qualified to attend the meeting, but not to take a seat.
Besides them, there were also some disciples standing respectfully on the periphery.
Each followed behind their own master.
The two women glanced at each other and then respectfully walked to the side of a woman who still possessed a certain charm.
That woman was their master.
Jiang Xiaoxiao lowered her head and whispered a few words in the woman's ear.
The woman, still possessing a certain charm, slightly raised her eyes and glanced indifferently at Elder Mu's position, a subtle glint of coldness in her eyes.
Elder Yun.
Seeing the woman's gaze, Elder Mu immediately felt a little guilty and embarrassed. He forced a smile and greeted her.
"Elder Mu, excellent skills."
The woman, addressed as Elder Yun, spoke in a nonchalant tone.
Elder Mu, of course, knew that Jiang Xiaoxiao had told Elder Yun about her actions, and for a moment he dared not respond.
The other elders were somewhat puzzled and glanced at the two of them.
"Everyone is already aware of the content of this meeting, so I won't go into details."
Elder Long took his seat at the head of the table, and with an imposing air, he surveyed the room before getting straight to the point: "Ye Junlin is someone closely related to us, a member of the Ye Domain and the Ye Clan, and also our benefactor."
"He saved the lives of two of our Shangxiao Palace's most talented disciples."
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Lin Yueyue immediately straightened up and cupped their hands in greeting to the elders present.
Elder Long continued, "In addition, he obtained a piece of amber jade and gave it to Yueyue."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They already knew about these things; they're just explaining the background now.
It was mainly meant for Ye Junlin to hear.
"We at Shangxiao Palace acknowledge this kindness and feel indebted to young friend Ye."
Elder Long said with a smile, looking at Ye Junlin: "We warmly welcome young friend Ye to our home. Please feel free to be formal here and just consider yourself a member of the Ye clan."
"And Xiaoxiao has already told us your purpose: to take the amethyst with you."
Ye Junlin nodded, but looking at Elder Long's smile, he felt there was a hint of cunning in it.
"I originally gave this amethyst to Lin Yueyue, but I really need it, so I have to come and ask for it back. I ask the elders of Shangxiao Palace to do me a favor and return the amethyst to its rightful owner."
Ye Junlin deliberately emphasized the words "returning the item to its rightful owner".
The implication is that this thing originally belonged to me, and it's perfectly justified for me to take it.
"That's easy to discuss."
Elder Long nodded with a smile, his smile becoming even more cunning: "We discussed it after Xiaoxiao reported this matter yesterday."
"The amethyst lapis lazuli originally belonged to young friend Ye, so it is only right that it be returned to its rightful owner."
Hearing this, Ye Junlin was slightly pleased, but also somewhat surprised.
The Shangxiao Palace is surprisingly easy to talk to.
However, Elder Long suddenly changed the subject: "However, when Young Friend Ye came to my Shangxiao Palace, some unpleasant conflicts occurred, and my Shangxiao Palace lost several disciples."
“We have always been on good terms with the Ye clan. Even if the item doesn’t belong to young friend Ye, it’s fine to give it to you.”
"Besides, this was originally yours, so it should be given to you."
“But if we give it to you, I’m afraid the disciples will feel that we are afraid of the Ye Clan and that a junior from the Ye Clan has ridden over us. This will make it difficult for us to win their respect.”
"That's a difficult situation."
In the end, Elder Long let out a long sigh.
Ye Junlin's expression gradually darkened, his eyes like a stagnant pool, devoid of any emotion.
He got it!
From the very beginning, Shangxiao Palace had no intention of giving the Liuli Ziyu Stone to him.
The elders may not have given orders for Senior Brother Li to cause trouble for me, but they must have tacitly approved it in secret.
The point is to make yourself "get into trouble" so that you can then conveniently reject yourself.
"Elder Long."
Ye Junlin slowly stood up, his eyes fixed on Elder Long, and said without any emotion, "I've discovered that you are truly a man of deep thoughts. I underestimated you from the very beginning."
"Young friend Ye, I'm thinking of you. I should have given it to you, but given what has happened, please consider my perspective as the elder. I can't give it to you at this critical juncture."
Elder Long sighed again, looking extremely troubled.
"If you won't give it to me, then I'll just... steal it!"
