It wasn’t certain yet. Master Xiao knew that this Monarch was not going to let him get the metal easily, but did want to have a deal about it.

His performance was also something rather valuable for the Monarch’s Hall. Monarch’s Hall was weak, and the Monarch wanted to improve the organization with Master Xiao’s performance.

They both needed something from each other, so they both wanted a good deal. Master Xiao was asked to give more, and he could endure it for the metal that he needed. However...

Master Xiao was cursing in the head. ‘F*ck you, Xiao Monarch! Do you think I am a god or something? You have over one thousand men in the Monarch’s Hall! How am I going to make you all improve? That is too much to ask!’

‘If I am that powerful, I would have built a secret army of mine already, and I would have ruled the world!’

‘My performance, the Gate to Greatness, could push the audience one level up, but that is only a possibility! It is not for sure! The audience would have to be knowledgeable about music, who can understand the beauty in the music, who was close to the breakthrough... The vertical bamboo flute music will calm down the audience’s mindset and then let it burst into a breakthrough... That is all...’

‘It is not as powerful as the story tells!’

Master Xiao was quite proud of his skill in vertical bamboo flute playing. However, now he wasn’t. If he was not that famous, maybe he wouldn’t be in such trouble. A good fame did not always bring him the best!

Ye Xiao stared at Master Xiao with confusion. He was thinking, ‘I don’t care if you are telling the truth. I need to believe that you are lying!’

Master Xiao almost shed tears.

“What is it? Do you want to tell me that if I don’t give you the metal, you will not be able to play your thing? Are you pretending? Do you think you can threaten me with it?” Ye Xiao frowned and looked at Master Xiao. Suddenly, he shouted with anger. “How dare you f*cking threaten me? How dare you?!”

He acted just like a young lord of a powerful clan!

He was polite and decent in the beginning, but with that shout, he started to talk abusively.

The domineering arrogance that he suddenly showed truly shocked Master Xiao. Master Xiao’s face turned colorless!

That angry shout made Master Xiao understand one thing. ‘The man is definitely the young lord of the Ye Clan!’

‘His domineering vibe... It is much more oppressing than any other young lords from those powerful clans.’

‘The dominance... The anger... The arrogance... He is definitely from that powerful clan...’

“I... I was not threatening... That is not a threat... I was just... I just...” Master Xiao was in shock.

‘Is he going to be mad at me? That is so unreasonable.’

He made a sigh and thought, ‘Well, how would he be reasonable? He doesn’t need to. It would not be normal if he is as reasonable as regular people!’

“Please, Monarch Ye. I didn’t mean to contradict your opinion. What I said was simply the voice in my heart...” Master Xiao didn’t notice that he was losing it during the conversation. He was so confident when he arrived, but now the confidence was completely gone. He was like a young woman who was wronged. All he did was to explain how innocent he was, begging for forgiveness... In his eyes, there was fear...”

“Please, Brother Ye... For example, Bu Xiangfeng needs his sword so much that he has to fix it. If he uses another sword, he won’t be the same good. In fact, that is why he would like to spend all the money he had to buy the metals. An ordinary sword won’t help him make his powerful moves! It is the same situation for me... Think about it...”

Master Xiao felt terribly wronged. He wouldn’t take Bu Xiangfeng as an example to explain for himself if he was still the arrogant Master Xiao.

Bu Xiangfeng rolled his eyes up and thought, ‘Screw you. Now I am a good example to prove your innocence. Do I know you that well? If you realized how stupid you were, how would you end up disgraceful like this?’

Ye Xiao was surprised. He stayed silent for a while and then said, “That makes sense though. When I play cricket fights, I usually use that special stick. After it was broken, I couldn’t find any other sticks that could work so well in the game... It is the same...”

‘A stick for the cricket game...’

Master Xiao almost wept for himself.

‘You just compared precious vertical bamboo flute to your stupid cricket fight stick...’

‘Would it be too improper to explain the situation with something about a cricket game?’

“Well, it makes sense. However, I don’t care. I have told you what I want. You don’t give me what I want, then I won’t give you the metal...” Ye Xiao rolled his eyes up and kept being domineering.”

Master Xiao’s face was twisting. He gritted his teeth and said, “I can pay you more.”

“Hah hah. I don’t need money...” Ye Xiao frowned and said, “What should I ask for?”

‘I don’t need money...’

Master Xiao was wordless.

‘I am offering more money! Don’t you want it?’

‘If you truly are that wealthy, why don’t you just give me the metal? Why waste your time thinking?’

‘Why do you have to make me suffer?’

Master Xiao didn’t know the truth, though. Ye Xiao talked like he had enough money, but actually not. He had quite a lot of money, but not enough to feed the thousands of men for a long time...
