"Master, Qin Zongheng is outside. We can't keep him waiting long. What about…" Mingchuan came closer to Li Yunteng.
Taking a long breath, Li Yunteng steadied himself and replied loudly, "Invite him to come in!"
Mingchuan took the order, left in a hurry and brought Qin Zongheng and Sun Yanglong inside after a while.
"Dear me! Mr. Qin 's presence lends luster to the humble Flying Dragon School! Ha…ha…ha…" As the saying went, the smiling person should not be slapped. Li Yunteng showed his enthusiasm upon Qin Zongheng's arrival. Firstly, he wanted to protect Zhou Kai. Secondly, Qin Zongheng was a big potato.
Li Yunteng thought Qin Zongheng, who was furious or looked serious, came to berate him today. Beyond Li Yunteng's expectation, Qin Zongheng smiled brilliantly.
"Ha…ha…Master Li is so polite! I was too busy to visit you. Please forgive me!"
It seemed that Qin Zongheng did not come to reproach Li Yunteng. And his attitude astonished and confused Li Yunteng.
"Mr. Qin, last night I acted recklessly and offended you. It has nothing to do with the Flying Dragon School. Please don't vent your anger on the Flying Dragon School, just punish me." Before Li Yunteng spoke, Zhou Kai offered to go to them and faced Qin Zongheng with a martyr-like expression, replying loudly.
Qin Zongheng paused and laughed, "What happened last night had passed. I've forgotten that. Young man, why you still cling to this? "
"Ah? Don't you come for yesterday's affair?" Astounded, Zhou Kai murmured.
Qin Zongheng chuckled, "Young man, you belittle me! Miss Li Yexue and you are Xiao Dong's friends. I don't mind what you did last night. I come here to discuss the alliance with Mr. Li, not to blame you."
Zhou Kai tittered, his hanging heart settling down.
Astounded, Li Yunteng did not dare to imagine Qin Zongheng offered to ally with him, feeling like a lottery winner.
"Mr. Qin, you…you want to ally with the Flying Dragon School?" Li Yunteng asked in surprise.
Qin Zongheng giggled and turned around to Sun Yanglong, "Present the gift we prepared for Mr. Li."
Sun Yanglong cupped a classic rosewood box engraved with a gold phoenix in his hand and presented it before Li Yunteng's face, "Mr. Li, this is the gift our master prepared for you. Please take it."
Heart thumping, Li Yunteng looked up at Sun Yanglong, found his deep and concentrating look, a sign of the master at the primary level of the Xiantian stage, and sighed that talented cultivators hid in Clan Qin.
Li Yunteng took the box and paused when he opened it as if his acupoints struck. Mingchuan cast a look at it curiously and exclaimed.
In the rosewood box lay twenty pairs shiny pearls from the East Sea. They were the premium jewelry and the smallest was as large as longan. Each was precious, let alone twenty pairs.
The gift was beyond precious. Even half of the Flying Dragon School was not worth it. Entranced, Li Yunteng held the gift in hand as if dreaming.
Qin Zongheng was satisfied to see that Li Yunteng was moved by the gift, that being said, his gift was worthwhile.
"Mr. Li, are you pleased with the twenty pairs of pearls?" Grinning, Qin Zongheng asked.
Li Yunteng hurried to reply, "Mr. Qin, your gift is too valuable. How can I…I take it?"
Qin Zongheng swayed his hand, "You're welcome. As long as Clan Qin can ally with the Flying Dragon School, and move forward and retreat together, I'm glad to give Mr. Li twenty more pairs of pearls."
Li Yunteng answered eagerly, "It's the Flying Dragon School's fortune to ally with Clan Qin. From today on, if Clan Qin is in predicament, I'll not stand by!"
"Alright! I get Mr. Li's promise today!"
Li Yunteng frowned as if making a decision. He fished out the cherished Tianyuan core from his chest, "This Tianyuan core is a gift in return. Mr. Qin, please take it!"
"Master, you…" Mingchuan was stunned to see that Li Yunteng gave the core to Qin Zongheng.
