Master Binghuo’s move was something no one had expected.
Who would have thought, a dignified Golden Core True Man...
Especially a Golden Core True Man like Master Binghuo, would act as shamelessly as a common "shrew" in the streets.
However, Ji Haoyuan knew that Master Binghuo’s actions were indeed the smartest choice.
Once she followed the opponent’s rhetoric and engaged in a debate, it would lead to endless disputes.
Moreover, regardless of the outcome of the dispute, they would lose.
Master Yanhuo obviously realized this as well.
At that moment, he couldn’t help but look deeply at Master Binghuo, then turned to smile and nodded, saying:
"It seems that Donghuai and the others were indeed mistaken.
When I return, I will punish them for almost ruining Junior Sister’s mood over this matter."
The reason he gave for wanting to punish Yang Donghuai and the others was also quite interesting.
It was because their actions earlier disturbed Master Binghuo’s good mood upon her return, rather than for any other reason.
The two of them exchanged a glance across the distance and tacitly decided not to mention the previous incident again.
Once Ji Haoyuan and his group entered the Crimson Sunset Sect’s mountain gate, Master Yanhuo again looked at Master Binghuo and said with a smile:
"Junior Sister, may I invite you to visit me so we can discuss the matters of this great war in detail?"
Upon hearing Master Yanhuo’s invitation, Master Binghuo only pondered briefly before nodding her head.
After entering the Crimson Sunset Sect’s mountain gate, Ji Haoyuan and the others were invited by the attending cultivators to the Affairs Hall one by one.
This was both to confirm the merits they had gained in the war and to facilitate their exchange of desired items afterward.
The merits Ji Haoyuan gained in this war were undoubtedly the greatest.
Therefore, the things he could exchange from the Crimson Sunset Sect were also the most plentiful.
Almost immediately, Ji Haoyuan’s gaze fell on the first few items of the exchange jade book.
What tempted him the most was the Crimson Sunset Sect’s core cultivation technique, the Crimson Sunset Flame Sun Technique.
Secondly, there was a third-rank magic called the Torrential Wave Scorching Heaven Seal.
But whether it was the Crimson Sunset Flame Sun Technique or the Torrential Wave Scorching Heaven Seal, they were both fundamental core inheritances of the Crimson Sunset Sect.
Although the Crimson Sunset Sect had clearly stated before the war that as long as your merits were sufficient, it was no problem to exchange for their third-rank inheritances.
But Ji Haoyuan knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.
When Ji Haoyuan expressed his intention to exchange for those two inheritances to the cultivator in charge, the cultivator immediately showed a complicated expression.
If it were someone else, even with sufficient merit, daring to be so clueless would at best avoid some sneering and mocking.
But the situation was obviously different with Ji Haoyuan.
Firstly, Ji Haoyuan was now an Honored Guest Elder of the Crimson Sunset Sect; in theory, he was indeed qualified to exchange for those two inheritances.
Secondly, and most importantly, he seemed to have quite a deep relationship with their Supreme Elder Master Binghuo.
If he outright refused him.
Firstly, it would be unreasonable, and secondly, if Master Binghuo were displeased, how could a mere Affairs Hall deacon bear such a weight?
But if he allowed the exchange directly, that was also out of the question. Updates are released by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
Not to mention that involving core inheritances like the Crimson Sunset Flame Sun Technique and Torrential Wave Scorching Heaven Seal was more than what a simple Affairs Hall deacon could handle.
Even if he could, he would not dare.
After all, he had witnessed the scene outside the mountain gate with his own eyes.
If Master Yanhuo questioned him later, how would he explain it?
This left the Affairs Hall deacon caught in a dilemma.
Ji Haoyuan seemed to have noticed his predicament and was about to suggest summoning their Hall Master, when suddenly, a somewhat familiar female voice reached him.
"Junior Brother Wu, you may leave. I’ll handle this matter."
He saw Lin Qingwu, dressed in a long green dress, walking towards them with a smile.
"Hmm, Junior Sister Lin..."
Ji Haoyuan expressed slight surprise on his face.
But the Affairs Hall deacon addressed as Junior Brother Wu hurriedly saluted her.
Lin Qingwu slightly nodded at him.
Junior Brother Wu, feeling immensely relieved, bowed to both Ji Haoyuan and Lin Qingwu before hastily leaving.
It was only at this moment that Ji Haoyuan noticed that Lin Qingwu’s cultivation had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Noticing the surprise in Ji Haoyuan’s eyes, Lin Qingwu smiled faintly.
"Speaking of which, I must thank Senior Brother Ji for your assistance that day.
Afterward, I returned to Yuan Guang City.
With some intense cultivation, my cultivation finally made a breakthrough."
"Then I must congratulate Junior Sister Lin."
Ji Haoyuan said with a smiling fist salute.
Lin Qingwu waved her hand with a smile.
"Compared to Senior Brother Ji, my meager cultivation is insignificant."
After a pause, Lin Qingwu continued:
"By the way, Senior Brother Ji, you wish to exchange for the Crimson Sunset Flame Sun Technique and Torrential Wave Scorching Heaven Seal, right?"
Before Ji Haoyuan could answer, Lin Qingwu continued with a smile:
"Coincidentally, the previous Hall Master of the Affairs Hall resigned due to his advanced age and lack of time to manage the hall. Before our return, he had willingly stepped down from the position.
Since then, my cultivation just happened to make a breakthrough, and having gained some merit from the war.
I am temporarily acting as the Hall Master of the Affairs Hall."
The news came as a real surprise to Ji Haoyuan.
Although she mentioned that she was only temporarily acting in the position.
Anyone who understood the situation would know that this temporary role was more of a formality.
It wouldn’t be long before this temporary role became permanent.
"In that case, I should congratulate Junior Sister Lin even more."
As he spoke, Ji Haoyuan handed a storage bag to Lin Qingwu with a smile.
In matters , he had always been quick to react.
But before his storage bag could reach Lin Qingwu, she took a step back to avoid it, showing a hint of feigned annoyance.
"Senior Brother Ji, are you trying to spoil me?
If it were someone else, it wouldn’t matter, but here with me, Senior Brother Ji, please refrain from doing so."
As she spoke, her expression turned serious, and she looked at Ji Haoyuan earnestly, saying:
"However, Senior Brother Ji, if you want to exchange for the Crimson Sunset Flame Sun Technique and Torrential Wave Scorching Heaven Seal, there’s one condition that you must agree to first."
