Chapter 1195 - 1195: Losing Money in a Deal

During the conversation, the White Tiger Clan's inner members had already walked into the small courtyard.

There were two people, one old and one young. The elder was a few years older than Wu Zheng, but his Martial Artist aura was not as strong. The young man looked to be in his early twenties and was carrying two bottles of good wine.

"It seems the young lad really has some skills, to have the Great Elder of the White Tiger Clan come in person," Wu Zheng laughed as he stepped forward.

The Great Elder cupped his hands and smiled, "My unruly disciple sent news that Young Liu and his sister sailed ashore alone, worrying about possible issues, so I came personally. I hope I haven't troubled you?"

Liu Zixuan was slightly surprised. For the Great Elder of the White Tiger Clan to be so courteous with Wu Zheng, it seemed Wu Zheng's status in the Black Tortoise Clan was indeed high.

Wu Zheng shook his head, "This little fellow is quite spirited, and I chatted well with him. I even considered letting him stay in the Black Tortoise Clan!"

"This..."

The Great Elder showed a troubled expression, "Old Wu, truth is Young Liu initially intended to join our White Tiger Clan, and I've already informed our clan leader. If he stays with you, it might not be appropriate."

"Why are you worried? I was just saying casually. This young fellow has already told me clearly he plans to join your clan." Wu Zheng laughed heartily, "But before leaving, I want to have a few more words with him, if you don't mind?"

The Great Elder laughed directly, "Of course not!"

"Alright, come with me!"

Saying this, Wu Zheng took Liu Zixuan aside and whispered with a smile, "I don't know how confident you are in persuading the White Tiger Clan, but to be safe, I think it's better to tell you something."

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "I knew you must have an ace up your sleeve."

"It's not an ace, it's just some of the White Tiger Clan's secrets," Wu Zheng whispered in Liu Zixuan's ear.

A moment later, Liu Zixuan's expression changed, "I didn't expect such things."

"You're a smart person, I believe you'll make good use of this secret."

After speaking, Wu Zheng returned to the Great Elder, took the two bottles of wine from the young man, "You really know me well."

"Clan Leader Wu's love for wine is famous in the Four Symbols Sect!" The Great Elder cupped his hands.

Wu Zheng opened the wine bottle and sniffed, "The wine is good, but not enough. If you think two bottles of wine can get this young fellow away from me, it's a loss!"

The Great Elder quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll send you your favorite Immortal Drunk when I return!"

"That's more like it!" Wu Zheng waved his hand, "Get out!"

Hearing the way the Great Elder addressed Wu Zheng, and then Wu Zheng's last words, Liu Zixuan and Qiqi exchanged a surprised glance.

Though they knew Wu Zheng's status in the Black Tortoise Clan wasn't low, they didn't expect that he was the Clan Leader of the Black Tortoise Clan!

A true powerhouse within the Four Symbols Sect, no wonder he spoke with such confidence!

The external rumors were indeed true; the Black Tortoise Clan was truly low-key. Even the clan leader was so approachable.

"Young Liu, I hope you forgive our former tests. We were worried about mishaps," the Great Elder smiled at Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan smiled, "Although it's quite unsettling, I understand."

"Why? Had you tested this young fellow before?" Wu Zheng asked before leaving.

The Great Elder stopped and said, "Young Liu is indeed extraordinary, defeating my disciple at the Second Heaven of the Emperor Realm with a single blow."

"If he went to your clan, he'd be more than qualified to be an elder!" Wu Zheng showed a reluctant expression, "Damn, this time it's a big loss!"

Hearing this, the Great Elder secretly pulled Liu Zixuan, walking swiftly toward the outside.

Once outside, Liu Zixuan asked, "Why the hurry?"

"I worry Old Wu might change his mind. If he insists on keeping you in the Black Tortoise Clan, I couldn't argue or refuse," the Great Elder said, sweating.

"I don't think so. I feel Wu senior is quite an amiable person," Liu Zixuan spread his hands, but inwardly he laughed.

From when the Great Elder entered the yard, Liu Zixuan had been acting with Wu Zheng. The act's purpose was for Wu Zheng to use his identity to intentionally elevate Liu Zixuan's status, so that going to the White Tiger Clan, Liu Zixuan would have more sway.

Simply put, relationship-wise, it was better for Liu Zixuan with the Black Tortoise Clan.

The Great Elder just shook his head and didn't continue on the topic.

Instead, he asked, "Earlier, I heard from the disciple you're called Liu Liu? Is that your real name?"

"My real name might amuse you, so let's not say it. Just call me Little Liu," Liu Zixuan laughed.

"Alright."

Actually, Liu Zixuan could tell the Great Elder still doubted his identity.

After all, the new name Liu Zixuan chose had no fame in the Martial Realm. With his current strength, one would expect him to be somewhat famous.

The boat again arrived at the island where the White Tiger Clan was located.

This place was slightly more luxurious than the Black Tortoise Clan, with some two-story buildings.

"Young Liu, I initially intended for you to rest after coming over, but the Clan Leader has something to handle later, so he wants to meet you while he has time."

The strength Liu Zixuan displayed made the Great Elder admire him, naturally calling him Little Liu didn't seem right, so he stuck with the earlier address.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "Meeting two clan leaders in a day is my honor!"

"By the way, what did Old Wu tell you just now?" As they approached a small pavilion, the Great Elder suddenly asked.

"Nothing much, just said the White Tiger Clan's Clan Leader doesn't have a good temper, advised me to be careful with my words, not be too casual. To avoid displeasing him," Liu Zixuan casually made up a lie.

But it made sense. After all, the White Tiger Clan was notoriously hot-tempered.

The Great Elder laughed and shook his head, "No, although the Clan Leader is a bit hot-headed, he's very reasonable. Plus, he especially likes talented young people like you. He will surely treat you well."

As they spoke, everyone entered the pavilion.

The Great Elder approached the sixty-year-old sitting inside and respectfully said, "Clan Leader, Young Liu has arrived."

The sixty-year-old was the Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan, Bai Hongtu.

The highest ranking expert in the White Tiger Clan, his strength had reached the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven and had touched the threshold of the Life and Death Realm.

Bai Hongtu looked up at Liu Zixuan, his originally murky eyes gradually becoming profound. After a moment of scrutiny, he smiled and said, "Looking at your age, you should be in your early twenties, yet you're already a Second Heaven Innate expert. It really makes an old man like me feel ashamed..."
