Chapter 2251
2251 Can’t you guys lend a hand?(2)
However, Leng ruoxue’s feelings were the exact opposite of his. She was laughing very happily in her heart! He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. What a bunch of old foxes! In order not to offend people, he even did such a thing. Sigh! If she had not seen it with her own eyes, Leng ruoxue would never have believed that these people were the family heads of the eight great divine regions. It was a little embarrassing!
Not being able to find an ally anywhere, the head of the Yao family deeply felt that he had failed as a person. Then, he wanted to play the emotional card, only to see his eyes shimmering, and then, slightly choked with emotion, he said to the head of the ning family,””Master ning, I’ve always respected you, and we’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? However, I really can’t agree to those things you’ve said, especially the matter of asking me to find those snakes and get their venom for you. Besides, didn’t you guys already make a deal? Since they’re so untrustworthy, I think you should go and settle the score with them! Don’t let them go!”
Hearing this, the head of the Cheng clan couldn’t help but say,””Old man Yao, it’s not that those snakes didn’t keep their word. They were scared away by you. So, you have the responsibility to retrieve the snake venom for us. We have no dissatisfaction with those snakes, so don’t kill them with a borrowed knife. We are not that easy to order around!”
“Patriarch Cheng, that’s not what I meant. I’m really thinking for you. You also know that I have a grudge against those snakes! How could they give me the snake venom!” The head of the Yao family felt that the head of the Cheng family was somewhat dissatisfied and hurriedly tried to remedy the situation. However, the head of the Cheng family only rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.
At this time, the master of the ning family confirmed again,””Yao family head, are you going to refuse our compensation, or are you going to refuse to give us the snake venom, or are you going to refuse both of them?”
“Uh! I can give you appropriate compensation, but I will never agree to the snake’s poison. When I see those snakes, I will definitely not be able to resist the urge to attack. If I accidentally kill the snake that poisoned me, I will not be able to get the snake’s poison!” The head of the Yao clan asked worriedly.
“Yao family head, don’t forget that there are also people in your Yao family who have been poisoned. Furthermore, the poison in the Yao family is much more serious than the poison in our four families! You said that you were afraid that you would accidentally kill the poisonous snake. Don’t tell me that you don’t even care about the lives of your own clansmen?” The master of the ning family asked with a smile.
“That’s right! You don’t care about the Yao family anymore? Old man Yao, I think you’d better obediently accept this mission! Even if it’s not for us, it’s for the Yao family!” The head of the Cheng clan laughed evilly.
The two of them echoed each other, and the head of the Yao family was speechless. Because he only cared about getting angry, he really forgot about the Yao family being poisoned. But then he thought about it and felt that what they said was very reasonable. He really had to find those snakes. In that case, he had better agree! At the very least, he would be able to regain some of the impression he left in these people’s hearts.
After thinking this way, the head of the Yao family helplessly nodded his head, which could be considered as an agreement.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, the Cheng clan’s patriarch was in a great mood! However, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. He was really an idiot. Since the result was the same, it would have been better if he had agreed earlier. They could have looked at him higher. But now, the position of the Yao family head in their hearts was simply as low as dust.
Inwardly disdaining the head of the Yao family, the head of the Cheng family continued,”Since old man Yao has accepted the matter of the snake poison, shouldn’t we discuss the issue of compensation now?”
Although old man Yao had said that it was compensation, the head of the Cheng family had long decided to treat it as compensation. He couldn’t let that old thing take advantage of the loopholes in the word game, or they would suffer a great loss!
Although compensation and compensation were only one word apart, their meanings were completely different!
The amount of compensation would definitely be huge and would satisfy them. However, the compensation, to put it nicely, would give them some money, but to put it bluntly, it was just to send off beggars! Therefore, the master of the Cheng family, who had thought it through, had long made up his mind to not let this old thing take advantage of him!
“It should be!” The master of the ning family nodded and casually glanced at the master of the Yao family. Just this glance made the heart of the master of the Yao family beat wildly. He didn’t know why, but he had a very bad feeling.
The facts proved that his feeling was correct.
Because as soon as the ning family’s master finished speaking, the Yao family’s master saw the four of them each take out a piece of paper from their storage rings and hand it to him.
“Our compensation has already been prepared. Yao family head, please take a look.” The master of the ning family said with a smile. The feeling of robbing old man Yao was really good. He just didn’t know how many good things this old man had in his hands and whether it was enough for them to split!
The head of the Yao family casually glanced at what was written on the paper and his eyes immediately widened. This was the compensation they wanted? Did the four families come to an agreement? Although the things they wanted were different, they were definitely things from his treasure vault. Even if they didn’t want everything, they would at least take up half of it!
Looking at the things on the paper, he really wondered if they had been to his treasure vault. However, he was very confident in the safety of his treasure vault, so he knew that it was impossible! Then how do you explain the things on the paper?
For a moment, the head of the Yao family was at a loss. He racked his brains, but he couldn’t figure out what was going on. He didn’t even know if he should be glad that they didn’t take away all of his treasures. However, the things on the paper were enough to make his heart ache!
Originally, he just wanted to give them some compensation. He didn’t expect that these people would actually ask for such an exorbitant price. This made the anger in his heart that had just subsided a little surge again.
“Is this what you want me to compensate you for?” After taking a few deep breaths, the head of the Yao family couldn’t help but ask.
“Yup! Aren’t we very kind? I didn’t ask for too much. ” The head of the Cheng family nodded his head vigorously, extremely obedient.
“This is considered little?” The head of the Yao family gritted his teeth.
“Of course it’s less, compared to what you gave to Xue ‘er, what we have is nothing! I say, old man Yao, could it be that you’re reluctant to part with him? These things are just a drop in the ocean for you. Don’t tell me you can’t take them out!” The head of the Cheng clan seemed to have understood something. He blinked his eyes and asked in disbelief.
“Of course I can …” The head of the Yao family gritted his teeth, but before he could finish, he heard the head of the Cheng family Pat his chest and say,””It’s alright! It was still alright! I’m afraid you can’t take it out! At that time, I won’t be able to answer to my clansmen!”
“Don’t you guys think that you’re asking for a bit too much?” The head of the Yao clan said viciously, as if he would bite if the Cheng clan head and the others didn’t dare to say much.
However, the head of the Cheng family was not afraid of him.
He heard the Cheng family head say with a very innocent and sincere face,””We don’t want much at all!”
