The woman looked up with much effort, her eyes pleading for mercy.
"This pill tower has no need to survive anymore. The Pill king will understand. After all, you have killed a daughter of the Cai Family's family leader, and you have imprisoned the disciples of the sky heavens sect against their will." the third elder said.
"It was not the intention of the pill tower for any lives to be lost. The bandits were at fault here. That could be the only reason." she said hastily.
"Do you take us to be fools? The bandits were lead by a mere pseudo Xiantian realm fool. He only came here because he had a grudge against your branch leader, who you made to be so secretive that no one even knew. The former had no chance of killing Cai Yun'er. Even if he self destructed, she had a life saving protective talisman that she could use to barely survive. And who here could go against a Xiantian realm expert, even one at the death's door step?" he glared at her with anger.
"It is impossible! There is no way that the branch leader would kill a core sect disciple of the sky heavens sect!" the woman cried out.
"If he had killed even a single disciple, there would be a problem. And now, the direct disciple of the sixth elder has died. You must give a suitable answer now, or I will truly flatten this tower, regardless of the people in it. Only my disciples will survive." he looked at her threateningly.
"Mercy! The death of the core disciple was not expected. But we shall compensate your disciples for the troubles we have caused. The bandit's loot are yours to take. We shall give the ten spirit stones to each person here, so that they can smoothen their cultivation path." she said.
"No. Ten spirit stones each? Do you think that a paltry thousand or so spirit stones is worth the life ? of a Xiantian realm genius, younger than even your genius pill elder? One medium ranked spirit stone, each. And I will make sure that from now on, the Pill Tower will stay in its limits." he snarked at the pill elder, who was still kneeling.
"Yes. I will make sure that my stupid disciple knows his limits. I will teach him well." he hastily said.
"And there is still the matter of how the death of Cai Yun'er will be dealt with." he glanced at the woman again.
"The compensation?" she said, surprised.
"That was because your tower imprisoned the disciples. That is separate from the matter of Cai Yun'er dying. And do not think that she was the only casualty. There were disciples who died in the battle against the bandits. Them entering the tower was your fault. If you want to blame anyone, blame your tower because you did not want to pay to exterminate the bandits completely." he snarked.
Gritting her teeth, she said, "What do you want?"
"I do not want anything. I am not like you. Money is not all that we want. We do not want to quantify our disciples with money. You are the people who have to tell the Cai Family how she died. Right now, right in front of me. If I find that you added an unnecessary detail, or if you did not mention a necessary one, then heads will roll." he said coldly.
"But I-"
The third elder threw something towards her.
Buzz
"Third elder? What happened? Rarely does the sky heavens sect interact with a family of the three under, why is it that that has changed?" a voice came from that item.
The woman's face changed. She looked at this with fright.
"The pill tower, or a representative of the tower wants to break some bad news to you." the third elder said.
"Bad news? Did the tower cancel the batch of pills that we ordered? Surely you couldn't care less about that." the voice asked, chuckling.
"Elder of the Cai family, the Pill tower regrets to inform you that a daughter of the Cai Family, Cai Yun'er, had died in the tower. Although the reason is not sure as of yet, the tower was attacked by the black bandana bandits, and there was a fight." the woman said.
"So it seems like you have chosen to make a story of your own" the third elder cracked his knuckles.
"What else is there to add, that is confirmed?" she asked with desperation.
"The fact that the two had fought against each other, and that they knew each other. Also mention that the branch leader of the Pill tower also happens to be from the black bandana bandits." I shouted. She pissed me off, and I needed to make her, and the Pill Tower's life difficult just for that.
"You liar. I know that you are inventing this. Shut up!" the fatty stepped up.
I raised my eyebrows as I looked at him. I did not expect him to step up for the tower.
"Now, this is interesting. Where did this story disappear?" the third elder disappeared and reappeared in front of me.
I nibbled my lower lip and smiled.
"When there were hostile forces who were indiscriminately making the disciples of the sky heavens sect show their identities, and even think that I am an imposter just because some arrogant fellow says so, then why would I risk my life and say this in front of you people?" I said.
"Good, good. This is really good. Now then, tell me the full story. Cai Yuan! Are you listening? This is what happened to your dear niece!" he shouted at the woman, or rather the item in her hands.
"The pill tower should be happy that the true perpetrator of this all, You Feng, is dead." I chuckled.
