1640 Three Questions (1/2)

A tossed stone raises a thousand ripples. All the demigods were seething with anger.

”Wha... What did you say?!”

”You son of a bitch! The gifts we have selected are all rare treasures of the world! How dare you call them toys, you insolent fool?!

”Chen Zhufeng! You thick-skinned bastard! You didn't even bring any gifts, and yet you have the nerve to ridicule ours!”

”Brat! You'll be dead! When the new temple's master comes, we will all report you to him! We'll see to it that nothing is left of you!”

All at once, the demigods were pointing angry fingers at Chen Xiaobei, their eyes burning with hatred and spite.

Long Zishan and Liu Xuanxin panicked at the sight of this.

”Faction leader Chen! You shouldn't joke about these things!” Long Zishan said solemnly. ”When Lu Gang was temple master, he would receive gifts at every banquet! If anyone's gifts were not good enough, Lu Gang would make damn sure to make life difficult of them! For over decades now, no one has ever dared come without bearing gifts!”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged, a smug smile on his face ”My favorite thing to do is to do the things that others have never done before. Since no one has ever dared to come empty handed, I'll be the first to do that!”

”Faction Leader Chen! Must you be so ostentatious all the time?” Li Xuanxin chided. ”The South Town Star Temple temple overrides Earth's Jianghu. He's not someone you can just offend so carelessly! Hurry up and find something to present to him! You cannot come empty-handed or you'll be become the first person to be killed over this!”

Chen Xiaobei said cheekily, ”I thought you and I aren't that close? Why are you so worried about me now?”

”Who's worried about you? I was just… I was just…” Liu Xuanxin fumbled for an excuse but she was in fact, absolutely worried.

Chen Xiaobei grinned. ”Don't worry. The new temple master is not Lu Gang! I'm sure Lu Gang would approve of these trash but the new temple master won't! It would better not to present him with anything instead of cheap gifts!”

The demigods went into fits at this comment.

”Hey Chen! You really are thick-faced! You came empty-handed and tell us that our gifts are trash?!”

”Chen Zhufeng! You talk big but it's because you don't have anything worthy to give! You are a f*cking pussy!”

”You are not the new temple master so how on Earth would you know that he won't like our gifts? You speak without thinking, and you consider everyone beneath you! When the new temple master comes, we'll make sure he kills you!”

Everyone was galled. The gifts that they had given so much thought – Chen Xiaobei called them trash! How outrageous!

Although he was showered with angry remarks, Chen Xiaobei maintained his smile. ”Wu Guangwen, please bring the 5,000 year-old Mount Chang Bai Ginseng that faction leader Long and Liu Xuanxin brought to me!”

”Yes, sir!”

Wu Guang picked up a sandalwood box and gave it to Chen Xiaobei.

When the crowd saw this, they exploded again.

Zhou Daoxian was all steamed up. ”Elder Wu! Have you lost your mind? That is meant for the new temple master! How can you give it to that son of a bitch Chen Zhufeng?!”

Ding Xiaodong was just as livid. ”Elder Wu! You're stepping out of line! How can you touch the temple's things?!”

The other demigods chimed in too saying, ”Eder Wu! Don't do anything stupid! If the new temple master finds out about this, you will be severely punished!”

”Shut your stupid mouths!” Wu Guangwen shouted, and the crowd immediately quieted down.

Chen Xiaobei grinned. ”Out of all the presents, only this ginseng is my favorite! Thank you, faction leader Long and Xuanxin!”

After he said that, Chen Xiaobei pocketed the box.
