"If I remember correctly, when students from your Zhulu Academy obtained treasures in the past, and I offered to buy them at a high price, Elder Mei, your exact words were: 'If you lack the ability, don't covet what doesn't belong to you,' right?" Elder Duan recalled the scene from back then, never expecting the tables to turn so soon.
If Elder Duan hadn't felt much before, seeing Song Nianchu settle the score for him now, he decided he must protect her well. He could not allow anything to happen to her in this territory. Therefore, while Song Nianchu was searching the first level for treasures, Elder Duan had secretly summoned all the other powerful elders from Myriad Phenomena Academy. If anyone from Zhulu Academy dared to make a move, they wouldn't mind putting up a fight.
Mei Zhipeng hadn't expected his own words to be thrown back in his face. But shamelessness was a trait of the Mei family. "I only said that on purpose back then. If you had persisted a little longer, I certainly would have let you have the items," Mei Zhipeng said. However, Elder Duan knew full well that if he had truly persisted back then, he would only have been met with more humiliation.
