Ye Xiao heard the name Shui Zhongliu, but he was still calm. He had to stay calm and look arrogant, since he truly had no idea who the two men were. He only remembered that these two names were on the ranking list. He slightly nodded and blandly said,
Oh, I see. That is surprising…

That was a casual response.
The two men and all the others were surprised. ‘Come on, chief. They are two truly influential figures in the world. Can’t you at least show some reaction? Surprising sounds like a compliment… but it is more like you have found something interesting… That is not a compliment at all…’


You want something from me, then you must follow my rules.
Ye Xiao nodded and said,
If you don’t want to follow my rules, you can go. It makes no difference to me.

Master Xiao asked,
What do you want? I will do my best.



Ye Xiao smiled and pointed up two fingers.
First, two hundred thousand purple spirit coins. No bargain.

Master Xiao’s pretty face twisted.
That was four times the reasonable price! That was only the first… There were going to be the second, the third, and the fourth…
‘Do I look like pork on your plate?’

Master Xiao tried not to be angry. In a cold voice, he said,
I guess there is a second. May I ask what it is?


That is simple. I heard that you are good at playing good songs. Your performance could benefit all cultivators…
Ye Xiao smiled,
I will gather my men, and you will play a song for us all. That should be an easy job for you!

Master Xiao widely opened his eyes and said,
What?

Even people of the Monarch’s Hall were shocked by what Ye Xiao just said.
They never thought that he would ask for something that valuable.
‘Come on, the young master is here to make trouble! Why would he help all the people in the Monarch’s Hall improve cultivation capability?’


‘Is it really an easy job?… This is too much!’

Master Xiao looked pretty cold. He blandly said,
Do you know how hard it is for me to play a song? Do you know how much one has to pay to listen to my performance?

Master Xiao was being frank. ‘You should know how much you are asking for. Two hundred thousand purple spirit coins for one piece of Cosmos Iron, I can endure it. Do you know how much my performance is worth?’

Well, after what he said, people in the Monarch’s Hall were all angry.
‘Do you think you are really that valuable?’

‘You are just a vertical bamboo flute player…’

‘Yes. You have played for the people in the five royal cities. So what? It won’t change the fact that you are just a vertical bamboo flute player!’

‘Do you really think it matters to us?’

Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled. He said,
I do not know how much it costs for your performance. I don’t care. I know one thing. If you don’t do it, you won’t get the Cosmos Iron!

He smiled and said,
That is not all. I promise. If I want, you are not going to get the Cosmos Iron in any other places except the five royal cities. No matter how much you pay, you can’t buy it! Do you believe me?




I will make sure nobody sells Cosmos Iron to you, not even if you would like to pay billions of purple spirit coins.

Ye Xiao half-closed his eyes and said,
Well, if you find some, you won’t get it. Oh, and I am sure that you will have to spend thousands of years to find it.

Master Xiao was shaking because of anger.
You are bullying! This is too much!

Ye Xiao indifferently smiled and said,
What is this? Do you mean there is no deal here? Well, you can leave now. Goodbye!

Master Xiao was shocked.
‘Did I mean that? No! I didn’t! I was just complaining… I didn’t say no!’

Ye Xiao turned around and said in a low voice to the others,
Send my message back to the clan. The Cosmos Iron…


Hold it!

Master Xiao had spent so much on the Brocade Steel and the Feather Bronze. One piece of Cosmos Iron was all he needed. How could he give up now? If this young Master Ye sent the message back to the Ye Clan, nobody in the world would dare to give him any Cosmos Iron!
There might be people who dared to mess with Ye Hongchen, but nobody wanted to mess with Ye Hongchen for Master Xiao!


Ye Clan had vanished for one hundred thousand years, and it was time for the Ye Clan to return!
Nobody dared to mess with the Ye Clan at this moment!
Maybe the Ye Clan was going to start a war in the world.
Master Xiao seemed to understand the point. He thought Ye Xiao was trying to find an excuse to build the Ye Clan’s authority… ‘Why would I be the target? No!’

Therefore, he didn’t dare to make any reckless move.

I promise. I will give you both what you want!
Master Xiao said,
However, Brother Ye, there is a question…


You have said yes. What question do you have?
Ye Xiao asked.

I do have a question, please… You want me to play that song, and I will. However, I need to have a good vertical bamboo flute first… Otherwise, it won’t work. Moreover, I can only play that song once in a year. If I play it for the second time in one year, I will die with all my Jing and Mai drained…

Master Xiao was being honest.
He was so humble and sincere that he nearly cut out his heart to show Ye Xiao his honesty.



So? What do you think you should do?
Ye Xiao frowned and asked Master Xiao.
‘What should I do?’

Master Xiao frowned and didn’t know the answer either.
‘What should I do? If I know what to do, I will just tell you what I should do!’

‘This is clear. I need the last piece of metal for my vertical bamboo flute. I need it. I won’t give it up. I can’t.’

‘But it seems we can’t get a deal now.’

‘I can’t force you to give me the metal…’ 
He thought that messing with Ye Xiao would bring himself to death. That was why he didn’t dare to start the fight.
All in all, he had no idea what to do next. There was nothing he could think of that would bring benefits to both sides, so he was pretty anxious.
