Hua Jianzhi's words clearly carried a threatening undertone.
Lu Sangjiu blinked, very self-awarely taking a step back and looking toward Xie Ningyuan.
Xie Ningyuan cooperatively took a step forward and gave Hua Jianzhi a slight smile.
"Fellow Daoist Hua, according to the rules of the martial world, sealing someone's lips requires hush money."
Hua Jianzhi: "..."
'So, you, a dignified Buddha Son, stayed hidden the entire time, only to finally step forward just to ask for benefits?'
At that moment, Hua Jianzhi looked at Xie Ningyuan as if she were witnessing the fall of a Buddha Son.
Sword Bu Gui's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Then, seeing the equally speechless Gu Jue, he suddenly felt a sense of relief... 'Right, at least my own foolish apprentice hasn't learned their shameless ways yet!'
After a moment of silence, Hua Jianzhi finally relented. "What do you want?"
Xie Ningyuan: "Hmm, how about 300,000 top-grade spirit stones? Just a little something will do."
