The next day, the chariot stopped in the territory of the Baiye Sect.
"Pingyan, ask the person in charge of the Baiye Sect to come out." Chen Qingyuan was sitting and sipping tea.
"Okay." Although Lin Pingyan didn't know what account Chen Qingyuan was collecting, he didn't ask any more questions. He flashed to the entrance of the Baiye Sect.
Lin Pingyan politely stated his identity and waited at the entrance for the disciples to report.
Looking at Lin Pingyan being so polite, Chen Qingyuan was a bit helpless and shouted loudly, "You are an inner sect elder of the Xuanqing Sect. There is no reason to wait at the entrance. The gatekeeping disciples of the Baiye Sect don't understand the rules. Just kick the door and enter."
Chen Qingyuan, staying in the chariot, said words that could all fall into Lin Pingyan's ears: "Little Shishu, this is not appropriate!"
Kicking the door without a word of disagreement doesn't conform to Lin Pingyan's principles.
"What's inappropriate? The Baiye Sect is just a second-rate sect. As an elder of the Xuanqing Sect, if they don't invite you in directly, it means they don't take the Xuanqing Sect seriously. If this gets out, in the future, disciples of our Xuanqing Sect will definitely be bullied when they go out. Everyone will want to step on them."
Chen Qingyuan deliberately exaggerated the seriousness of this matter in order to put pressure on Lin Pingyan.
"It's not that serious!" Lin Pingyan looked back at the chariot not far away and transmitted his voice.
"Pingyan, am I still your little shishu?"
Seeing that Lin Pingyan was still so hesitant, Chen Qingyuan decided to use seniority to pressure him.
"Yes." Lin Pingyan quickly said.
"Then listen to your little shishu and kick the door open." Chen Qingyuan said sternly, "If you don't kick this door today, then I won't go to the Yunhai Star Region either. I won't treat my illness. It doesn't matter."
Hearing this, Lin Pingyan was a bit anxious.
If Chen Qingyuan really refused to treat his injury, Lin Pingyan would live in guilt for the rest of his life.
Boom!
There was no way. Lin Pingyan hardened his heart and kicked out directly. With a loud noise, the gate of the Baiye Sect was kicked open.
In an instant, many figures appeared in the sky above the Baiye Sect. They wanted to see who had the guts to act so boldly in the Baiye Sect. The atmosphere was tense.
"Elder Lin, what do you mean by this?"
An inner sect elder of the Baiye Sect appeared. When he learned of Lin Pingyan's arrival, he hurried over and just saw the incident of kicking the door. His face was livid.
"It doesn't mean anything." Lin Pingyan felt a bit guilty in his heart, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be indifferent.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Chen Qingyuan in the chariot spoke.
Chen Qingyuan took out a common object, a sound transmission tube.
This thing can amplify the sound dozens or even hundreds of times. It's not very useful for cultivators.
Chen Qingyuan stood at the front of the chariot, put the sound transmission tube in front of his mouth, and shouted loudly in the direction of the Baiye Sect: "Pingyan is an inner sect elder of my Xuanqing Sect and the son of the sect master. When he came to visit the Baiye Sect, he was actually shut out. Do you people of the Baiye Sect not take my Xuanqing Sect seriously?"
Regardless of right or wrong, put a big hat on the Baiye Sect first.
"Chen Qingyuan, it's him."
Many people in the Baiye Sect recognized Chen Qingyuan at a glance, muttered in a low voice, and pondered in their hearts.
"The Baiye Sect definitely has no such intention." An elder quickly said, "According to the rules, only after the gatekeeping disciples report can the visiting person enter."
"Bullshit rules." Chen Qingyuan directly cursed, "If elders from forces like the Tianyu Sect come, will the Baiye Sect not let them in? The Baiye Sect doesn't give this face to the Xuanqing Sect. It seems that they think my Xuanqing Sect has declined and is easy to bully, right?"
"Elder Chen, don't be angry. It is indeed the Baiye Sect that has been impolite and has been negligent to Elder Lin."
The great elder of the Baiye Sect appeared and told others not to speak anymore to avoid making the situation more serious.
"Good to know your mistake." Chen Qingyuan's tone softened a bit.
"Two elders, please come in. Tea has been prepared in the hall."
The great elder cupped his fists and saluted.
"No need." Chen Qingyuan refused, "I came here today to settle accounts, not to drink tea."
"Settle accounts? What accounts?"
The great elder was a bit puzzled. This expression was not known to be real or pretended.
"Ask your thirteenth elder."
Chen Qingyuan held the sound transmission tube in his left hand and said loudly.
Immediately after, the great elder immediately called the thirteenth elder, a middle-aged man with a thin build: "What's going on?"
The thirteenth elder told the past events in detail.
A hundred years ago, Chen Qingyuan invested in a business and opened a chamber of commerce with the thirteenth elder of the Baiye Sect, sharing the profits equally.
However, since Chen Qingyuan had an accident in the Tianyuan, the thirteenth elder didn't fulfill his promise to share the profits of the chamber of commerce.
Chen Qingyuan has already investigated clearly, so he came to collect the debt.
"In the past hundred years, the operation of the chamber of commerce has been somewhat unsuccessful and not much spirit stone has been earned."
The thirteenth elder lowered his head and said a bit embarrassed.
"I don't care how much you earn. Compensate with a medium-grade spiritual vein, and this matter is over."
Chen Qingyuan was too lazy to settle the profit accounts of the chamber of commerce. He had thought about it before coming.
"A spiritual vein? Impossible!"
Hearing this, the thirteenth elder suddenly raised his head and couldn't accept it.
"In the past hundred years, you didn't inform the two sects about this matter. Obviously, you wanted to embezzle the interests of the chamber of commerce alone. Unfortunately, you are too incompetent and mismanaged. You can't blame anyone. Asking you to compensate with a medium-grade spiritual vein is already cheap for you. If it were a hundred years ago, I would have personally abolished you."
Even though Chen Qingyuan is not as good as before, he still hasn't lost his dignity and cursed loudly.
"Elder Chen, let's sit down and talk."
The great elder didn't want to make the matter too big. If it got out, it would affect the sect's reputation.
"There's nothing to talk about. He is from your Baiye Sect. The Baiye Sect must take this responsibility." Chen Qingyuan didn't give the Baiye Sect any face and continued, "If he can't give it, then the Baiye Sect will pay the debt."
"Is Elder Chen so unreasonable?"
The great elder's face darkened and he was a bit unhappy.
"If I were unreasonable, I wouldn't have come to collect the debt. Instead, I would have asked senior brothers and sisters of the Xuanqing Sect to come and debate."
Chen Qingyuan wasn't afraid of being threatened. Some sects are bullies and cowards and must be treated in this way.
"You..." Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed in the great elder's eyes. He had heard about how the Xuanqing Sect treated Chen Qingyuan. They were extremely doting. How dare he utter harsh words.
"Pingyan, I'll take a nap first. After half an hour, if the Baiye Sect refuses to pay the debt, then have a good spar with elders of the same age. Don't show mercy."
After saying this, Chen Qingyuan returned to the chariot, ate fruits and drank tea, and ignored the people of the Baiye Sect.
Lin Pingyan bowed to the direction of the chariot: "Yes."
Then, Lin Pingyan turned to face the people of the Baiye Sect without any fear.
No matter how much the high-level officials of the Baiye Sect tried to persuade him, Lin Pingyan had only one sentence: "If you have anything to say, talk to my little shishu."
After half an hour, the Baiye Sect discussed and came to a result.
Give!
They really didn't want to throw out a medium-grade spiritual vein, but they had to give it!
Chen Qingyuan's temperament is famous in the Fuliu Star Region. He is ruthless and does what he says.
"Take it. After today, this debt is cleared."
The great elder had a dark face and sent the spiritual vein to Lin Pingyan.
Looking at the entire medium-grade spiritual vein, Lin Pingyan was a bit dazed. He didn't expect that the Baiye Sect really compromised.
"I am busy with affairs and won't keep Elder Lin to drink tea."
The great elder issued an order to evict the guest and left without looking back.
Back in the chariot, Lin Pingyan put a space ring containing the spiritual vein on the table and stared straight at Chen Qingyuan: "Little Shishu, the spiritual vein has been obtained."
"Um." Chen Qingyuan stretched and seemed to have known this result long ago without any joy.
After a while, Chen Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it comfortable?"
"What?"
Lin Pingyan was stunned.
