Chapter 0079 – Me Too – Absolute Returns

Seeing that Sect Leader Feng Tian was going to overturn the wine table, an internal force came like lightning and steadily pressed the table down.

He raised his eyes and the one who struck was none other than the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon.

Only the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon did not move and transmitted his voice to the Windy Sky Sect Leader:

“Sect Leader calm your anger, if you overturn the table, it’s not the face of the table that will be disgraced, it’s the majesty of your Sect Leader.”

Sensing the other party’s good intentions, Sect Master Windsky could only withdraw his hand resentfully. The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon’s eyes seemed to say, I can more or less understand your feelings.

At this time, Jian Wuji turned his head to look at the prisoner who was still bound by chains and asked, “You’ve been imprisoned here for many years, so I guess you must be quite obsessed with the thing that these chains are built from?”

The prisoner did not squirm in the slightest and directly made his request, “Then please help me build a folding fan.”

“A folding fan is sufficient?”

“Sufficient.”

Jian Wuji handed the chain over to Zhang Hao and instructed, “Send this item to Master Guo, the blacksmith of this Sect, and have him use ten thousand years of cold iron to create the fan bone, and with the remaining materials, create eight daggers, and for those here, have one in each hand as a memento of today’s gathering.”

The eight daggers, naturally, included the Windy Sky Sect Master and the prisoner’s share.

Hearing this, Xu Dalong quickly excused himself, “Such a precious dagger, how can we …… be so virtuous?”

“Yes, we are ashamed of it.”

“We, too, feel honored by it.”

Li An and Zhang Hao also spoke up to excuse themselves.

“Don’t be so hypocritical here, don’t hurry up and work hard on your cultivation to repay them later!” Jian Wuji said half-jokingly.

When the crowd heard this, they all bowed their heads and said yes, grateful in their hearts.

“Thank you, sir!”

However, Sect Leader Windsky’s response was unusually cold: “Why do you want to include my share as well?”

“It’s a rare meeting today, so let’s keep it as a souvenir.”

“I don’t want to memorialize today.”

At this time, the prisoner secretly transmitted his voice to the Windy Sky Sect Master, “Just take it, I know you’re not happy in your heart, but you still have more important things to do, don’t lose out on a small thing.”

The Windy Sky Sect Master was grateful in his heart, he knew that his prisoner was still thinking of himself until the end, and it was he who had failed him.

“Just kidding with you, give me my share too, the chains mean a lot to me.”

“Well, in that case, respectfully.”

“Speaking of which, your kid is really generous, daggers made of ten thousand years of cold iron are rare treasures even in the Central Plains, and you’re so willing to distribute them to everyone?”

“Because they are the most important people to me.”

“Who is to say that these important people will be as loyal to you later as they have always been?”

“I am not giving this gift in anticipation of a return later.”

“And why is that?”

“Just to thank them for all the help and support they’ve been giving me.”

Sword Wuji’s words rendered Sect Master Windsky speechless. Seeing this, the Blood Heavenly Sword Demon hurriedly filled up his wine and said meaningfully, “Didn’t we talk about this before? How can we control this soaring auger dragon? It would be better to let go and allow it to soar through the sky.”

Sect Master Windsky sniffed and silently drank the wine in his cup.

The undercurrent of this drinking game continued in a subtle atmosphere.

After a few glasses of wine, the crowd grew a bit tipsy.

“Investigator Xu, you should drink less, if you keep drinking, you’ll be hugging Master’s thigh again today.” Li An couldn’t help but speak out to dissuade Xu Dalong when he saw him pouring cup after cup of wine.

“I’m fine, I’m sober!” Xu Dalong yelled.

“You’re starting to get a big tongue and you’re saying it’s okay?”

“I’m fine when I say I’m fine! I’m not drunk!”

I do not know whether it is too much pressure recently, or to drink to ease the sorrows, Xu Dalong’s drinking capacity seems to be much larger than usual, even Li An, who has always been known for his drinking capacity, is somewhat unable to resist, and can only persuade the wine while drinking a few cups of his own.

Seeing this, Jian Wuji turned his head to look at Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao understood and gave him a “Don’t worry, leave it to me” look.

“How come you’re the one worrying about them instead? In my opinion, you should be the one getting drunk and letting the two of them take care of you.”

“I’d like to. ……”

“If they get drunk, you’ll reward them with a punch from one of your sandbagged fists.”

“This …… is not too good, I am afraid, both of them are not what they used to be recently, I am afraid that I can not beat them.”

Although Xu Dalong’s martial arts is still far, but Li An’s “flying sword” should not be underestimated, an inattentive, even Zhang Hao may be killed on the spot.

As Sect Leader Windsky watched this scene, he couldn’t help but sigh to the two Demon Sovereigns beside him, “It’s really the world’s trend, people’s hearts aren’t what they used to be, nowadays even being a Sect Leader requires one to look at the faces of their subordinates.”

With these words, he was not accusing Li An and Xu Dalong, but he was using the topic to make use of the situation to insinuate the prisoners. During this recent period of time, he had been living in self-doubt and a victim mentality, always feeling that the prisoners, and even his other subordinates, were perfuming themselves with forced smiles.

“This ……” The two Demon Elders were momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer.

“Tell me, is this like that? The head of a sect has to look at the face of his subordinates to act? If it were to be spread out, wouldn’t it make those guys from the righteous path laugh their asses off?”

“I need to observe my subordinates to know what kind of people they are, to understand what they really think. I want more than forced loyalty.”

“Enough!” Sect Leader Feng Tian finally couldn’t stand it anymore and violently overturned the wine table in front of him.

“With a loud bang, the wine and dishes shattered all over the place, and everyone was staring at him with stunned faces. Sect Master Feng Tian’s clothes were stained with wine and vegetable soup, but he didn’t care.

“It’s all fake! It’s all done for me to see! Don’t say anything about sympathetic subordinates under false pretenses there, you dare to say that you’re not concerned about that kid’s feelings? You dare to say that you don’t want to keep him by your side?” Sect Leader Windsky roared angrily.

He had wanted to say these words for a long time, but he had been holding back for the sake of face. Until he heard Jian Wuji’s sentence “I hate false loyalty”, he finally could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

The whole room fell into a dead silence.

Sect Leader Windsky stared at the overturned table with a deadly glare, his heart churning with anger.

‘Damn! I’m going to be like this, what can you do to me? I just can’t stand to see your hypocritical faces!”

The overturned table seemed to announce that this long and depressing drinking game had finally come to an end.

“It is I who was rude, please forgive me, Sect Master, it is getting late today, allow me to come back tomorrow to make amends to you.” Jian Wuji was the first to get up and take his leave.

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon and the One Flower Sword Venerable also followed closely behind, arching their hands to bid farewell to Sect Leader Feng Tian.

Being so disrespectful in front of the Demon Lords, Sect Master Feng Tian should have been furious, but thinking of Jian Wuji’s face, the two Demon Lords ultimately chose to put the matter to rest.

“Your Excellency, take your time.” Zhang Hao assisted the drunken Xu Dalong and Li An, and walked out after the two demonic dukes.

Jian Wuji smiled and thanked the crowd, he knew that if it wasn’t for them maneuvering through this, this drinking game today wouldn’t have been able to go smoothly at all.

The people parted ways at the door, and no one brought up the matter of the Windy Sky Sect Leader again.

“Come on, let’s find a place to have a few more drinks!” Zhang Hao assisted Xu Dalong and Li An, staggering towards the “Windfall Hotel”.

“We’re really tired today, so we’ll go back and rest first.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon and the One Flower Sword Venerable then cited exhaustion as the reason for their respective returns to their own residences.

After Jian Wuji watched the crowd leave, he also turned around and returned to his room.

The prisoner slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
