Chapter 288: Chapter 46: Master Binglan sure knows how to have fun_1

…

That’s right.

Master Binglan had only recently asked Master Changchun for the Longevity Fruit, indicating her recent need for it.

And just recently was also when Old Ancestor Longyan was preparing to return to the sect. Most likely, Master Binglan wants the Longevity Fruit for Old Ancestor Longyan.

Of course, this is only Wang Shouzhe’s speculation. She may have other plans.

Wang Shouzhe bowed and said, “Master, we can discuss this matter first, but I can’t guarantee that I will definitely sell it to you.”

Master Binglan was silent for a while, apparently stewing over her discontent.

Considering her past behavior, she is certainly not an easy-tempered person.

Asking a junior to sell something, and the junior continually refuses. How could she be pleased?

Moreover, this junior has taken advantage of her Mysterious Ice Palace, even obtaining the Longevity Fruit by suppressing them.

It took her a long time to suppress her anger and calmly said, “In that case, let’s discuss it in my Mysterious Ice Pavilion.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe, under the guidance of his senior brother, entered the Mysterious Ice Pavilion from the main hall.

Ignoring the fact that he was incapable of flying straight up to the high Mysterious Ice Pavilion, even if he could, he would probably be smacked down by Master Binglan if he dared to.

Seeing this, Master Changchun followed Wang Shouzhe excitedly, tagging along into the Mysterious Ice Pavilion.

Upon seeing Master Changchun, Master Binglan immediately raised an eyebrow, “Changchun, what are you doing here?”

Master Changchun seemed to ignore her anger, and was looking around nostalgically, “Ah, Binglan, it’s been two hundred years since I visited your Mysterious Ice Pavilion. The past is indeed sigh-inducing. Don’t worry, I mean no harm. I’m only accompanying my disciple so that he won’t be at a disadvantage.”

“Hmph,” Master Binglan sneered, “If I wanted to take advantage of him, could you stop me?”

But she didn’t know what was holding her back, she eventually didn’t kick Master Changchun out. Instead, she stared at Wang Shouzhe with cold and majestic eyes.

Weighed by this pressure, Wang Shouzhe remained as unruffled as ever, apparently unaffected.

He bowed and saluted, “Wang Shouzhe pays respect to Master Binglan.”

Then, his eyes darted to Old Ancestor Longyan and the distinguished Fang Youan.

The former glared at him irritably, seeming to say “You really are a troublesome child, even daring to provoke my master.”

The latter, on the other hand, gave him a slight nod and a warm smile, seemingly trying to break the ice.

Seeing that her glare had no effect on Wang Shouzhe, Master Binglan finally backed off and said, “What’s your price?”

Their difference in age and seniority was too significant. She couldn’t bring herself to exert further pressure on him.

Unintimidated, Wang Shouzhe said, “We can discuss the price later. Shouzhe would first like to know who Master Binglan is planning to give the Longevity Fruit to.”

This made Master Binglan quite angry.

Why should she, a grand Master, explain who she’s getting the Longevity Fruit for to him?

Despite this though, she glanced at Old Ancestor Longyan.

With that, Wang Shouzhe was already eighty to ninety percent sure.

He shook his head and said, “In that case, I’m afraid I cannot sell the Longevity Fruit to Master Binglan.”

“You!”

Master Binglan’s eyes sharpened and she said harshly, “Boy, even your master wouldn’t dare to toy with me like this!”

Master Changchun also broke into a cold sweat.

Why did he keep flip-flopping? Why doesn’t he just refuse if he didn’t want to sell to Master Binglan? Wasn’t he just asking for trouble?

“Unless you provide me with a satisfactory explanation,” Master Binglan threatened, “or I’ll discipline your master!”

Poor Master Changchun was so shocked that his beard stood on end, “What does him not explaining have to do with me?”

Master Binglan shot him a glance.

If she didn’t punish him, would she be expected to lash out at a junior who was over five hundred years her junior? She couldn’t bear losing face like that.

On top of that, the Mysterious Ice Palace had just taken a big hit by Wang Shouzhe. Now to forcibly fight him, would make it seem like private revenge. This would be detrimental to the reputation of Mysterious Ice Palace.

Wang Shouzhe barely managed to stifle his laughter.

He cleared his throat and managed to maintain a straight face. “Master Binglan, this Longevity Fruit was meant for my Old Ancestor. In his youth, an altercation caused injuries that shortened his lifespan. The Fruit would help fill that void.”

Master Binglan seemed taken aback. Irritably she waved her hand and said, “Considering your sincerity, I won’t hold it against you. Now off with you. It would be better for both of us if I never see you again. I’m afraid I might not resist beating someone up.”

“Hmph!”

Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Longyan couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore.

She shot Wang Shouzhe a sharp look, “You little brat, you came to the Mysterious Ice Palace just to annoy me, didn’t you?”

“Hehe~”

Wang Shouzhe gave a dry laugh and bowed to Old Ancestor Longyan, “Old Ancestor, fate indeed plays tricks on us. If I had known earlier that Master Binglan was getting the Longevity Fruit for you, why would I have given myself so much trouble?”

“You had trouble?”

Old Ancestor Longyan looked significantly younger in front of her teacher. She glared at Wang Shouzhe, “I saw you having a lot of fun fighting with Junior Brother Mingyu. You didn’t look troubled at all. I’ll settle the score with you later.”
