Chapter 1731 Extorting the Scumbags (2)

"Senior Brother Helian is indeed straightforward."

Lu Zijia's eyes curved and the smile on her face became even brighter. "Senior Brother Helian, you can definitely afford the price I offer."

Lu Zijia immediately said a lot of spiritual plants and array formation materials. Their value had already far exceeded the five Wood Spirit Fruits.

By the time Lu Zijia finished talking, Helian Qiguang's face was already so gloomy.

"Lu Zijia, don't go too far!" Helian Qiguang was so angry that his hands that were clenched into fists were trembling uncontrollably.

"If you can't afford it, get lost!"

Mu Tianyan's bone-chilling voice suddenly sounded.

The way he looked at Helian Qiguang was full of coldness and murderous intent.

The corners of Lu Zijia's mouth curled up and she praised her Dao companion in her mind.

"Hahaha… Well said. Kid, if you can't afford it, don't embarrass yourself here." Du He laughed happily.

Helian Qiguang, who was defeated again and again, hated Lu Zijia and the others very much in his mind.

"Alright! I promise you!"

Thinking of his promise to Liao Sisi, Helian Qiguang gritted his teeth fiercely and finally compromised. "Give me the Wood Spirit Fruit first. When I've gathered what you want, I'll get someone to send it over."

Lu Zijia, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost spat it out.

After finally drinking the tea, Lu Zijia said, "Senior Brother Helian, are you joking? Which businesswoman takes the goods first before paying the bill?"

Hearing that Lu Zijia didn't agree, Helian Qiguang couldn't help feeling angry. "I'm the eldest young master of the Helian family. Are you afraid that I'll run away?"

If it were anyone else, they would probably quickly deny it and say something good to comfort him.

However, Lu Zijia was a "very honest" cultivator.

So…

"Right! I was really afraid that you would run away."

Lu Zijia nodded and said seriously, "After all, if you run to the Alchemy Department and don't come out, I can't do anything to you, Senior Brother, right? So, Senior Brother, let's make a deal when you gather what I want!"

Lu Zijia immediately thought of something and added, "Right, Senior Brother, I have to remind you that I'll only keep the five Wood Spirit Fruits for you for three days. If Senior Brother still can't gather the things I want in three days, I can only use them myself."

"You…!"

Helian Qiguang stood up abruptly in anger. He looked so fierce, as if he couldn't wait to rush up and kill Lu Zijia with a sword.

The moment Helian Qiguang made a move, Mu Tianyan immediately stood in front of Lu Zijia and looked at Helian Qiguang with a gaze like a sharp knife.

"If you want to challenge me, I'll accompany you to the end," Mu Tianyan said coldly.

Even though Hongtian Academy didn't allow people to fight in private, they could challenge them openly.

Once the challenged party accepted the challenge, a teacher from Hongtian Academy would step forward to preside over the battle. The opponents could only go to the arena to fight after the teacher said so.

Because Mu Tianyan had mutated single spirit root aptitude, he was already a slightly famous person in Hongtian Academy even though he was a new student.

When Helian Qiguang was investigating Lu Zijia, he also investigated Mu Tianyan at the same time. He certainly knew that his current cultivation level was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.

However, Helian Qiguang, who was also at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, wasn't confident that he could beat Mu Tianyan.

Because just this confrontation alone made him feel the huge pressure Mu Tianyan gave him, which made him feel timid.
