Chapter 218
Sasha Li didn't want to miss this golden opportunity, so she decided to bid for the chance. After all, money was never an issue for her. She asked again, "Two hundred million yuan, is that enough for you? It'll be enough for you to spend for a lifetime, maybe even for your next few generations! Since I've already shown you my sincerity, I hope you can give me what I need."
"Miss, are you kidding me? I've told you that I don't want to talk about this." Fade Chen was speechless.
He did not want to talk to someone who valued money above anything else anymore and instead walked towards the Cloud Clan disciples and said, "Hello, I would like to make my request!"
"Well, theoretically, you can make any request. However, it must be within the Cloud Clan's ability, and it must not be offensive either." The disciple explained before hearing Fade out.
Fade nodded under the intense gaze of the spectators. Although they couldn't buy Fade's wish off him, they were interested in what kind of request he was going to make.
After all, the opportunity to make a request like this was rare. 20 years ago, the last person who managed to pass the trial had requested for a herb that cost more than 5 million yuan. 5 million yuan from 20 years ago could easily be worth at least tens of millions now.
Besides, many people even believed that the request that the person had made 20 years ago was too fickle. Take the billionaires who were here as an example, they probably had even stranger requests to make.
Some wanted to become Cloud Clan apprentices, some wanted the secret to their martial arts, and others wanted precious elixirs that could save lives... These were all extremely precious things, worth at least tens of millions of yuan.
Under everyone's guesses, Fade thought for a moment before pointing to Winnie Huo, Mr. Liu, and a few old people he knew and said, "It's getting late. Some of us here are old and may not be able to last the night. Can you let us into your clan and give us a place to stay for the night?"
"Ah!" When the disciple heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Fade in disbelief and confirmed once more, "You mean your request is for these people and yourself to come in to rest?"
Fade nodded and said, "Yes, that's my request!"
Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing Fade's request. They looked at him in complication, not knowing if they were supposed to think of him as dumb or kind.
No one expected Fade to make such a simple request of letting everyone rest for a night in the clan. This was a wish that people would spend millions to get, yet was spent on such a fickle issue.
In particular, Sasha was furious. She would've never expected Fade to turn down her offer of 200 million yuan for a mere request like this.
She couldn't hold back and reprimanded him for wasting such an opportunity on this, "Boy, are you out of your mind? This is a chance for you to make a wish to the Cloud Clan. How can you make such a stupid request?"
Fade turned to look at her puzzledly before replying, "I know! But does my request have anything to do with you?"
"You.." Sasha was pissed off and was about to make a remark about something again. However, she was reminded that she had no authority to tell Fade off since he was the one who passed the trial. He had all the rights of making the request, regardless of how dumb it would be.
The Cloud Clan disciple was momentarily astonished before informing Fade, "I'll have to report your request to the elders, please hold on."
Fade nodded and sat back down.
Winnie Huo, Mr. Liu and a few others took this moment to scooch over to him and gawked at him in bewilderment.
"Fade, that's hundreds of millions of cash gone. Don't you envy them at all?" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"Fade, even if you didn't want the money, you should've also tried to maintain a good relationship with that Sasha Li. She's from the Li family, the richest family that you can find! If you are able to get on her good side, then.."
"Yeah, not only did you not befriend her, you made her angry. This will be a problem for you later on!"
"Fade, it really is a big pity that you lost this chance!"
Everyone felt remorseful over it, but Fade himself was calm and unfazed. He commented, "It was already a miracle that I was able to make this request, so we shouldn't focus on it too much. Besides, I already have enough money to spend. I won't need that much anyways."
Mr. Liu sighed and said, "Fade, you're definitely calmer than the rest of us who have lived years ahead of you."
At that moment, the disciples returned with permission from the elders to allow Fade and the rest of the crowd to enter and rest in the clan.
Therefore, he brought Winnie, Mr. Liu and the others into the clan.
Outside the gates, a group of people could only stare as they entered. They couldn't make out what they were feeling, possibly a mixture of envy, regret, pity and confusion. They sighed heavily and could only proceed with finding ways to survive in the cold wind of the night.
Sasha didn't bring anything to to stay for the night. She glanced around and finally bought a brand new tent from a young man with the stack of money she had.
Currently, Fade and the others were brought to the Cloud Clan's guest rooms.
It was a little shabby but clean and homey. The bedroom had been prepared especially for them in advance, and everything was prim and proper in place.
Upon seeing this, Fade couldn't help but feel something was wrong. Based on the situation, it looked like the Cloud Clan had made preparations to welcome the guests in. Yet, now they had refused anyone seeking medicinal treatment from entering. It was as if something bad had happened.
Everyone chose their rooms to stay. After the disciples informed everyone of the rules to abide to in the clan, they were prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Fade stopped one of the disciples and said, "Please wait!"
"Mr. Chen, do you have any other requirements?" Ever since he was defeated in one move, the disciple was much more reverent towards Fade.
Fade said, "Please take me to your elder. I have something to talk to him about."
"Our elder, this..." The disciple looked like he was in a tight spot. After a moment of hesitation, he agreed and said, "Alright, Mr. Chen. Please follow me."
Fade followed the disciple all the way through the guest rooms, going around the main hall and arriving at the resting areas for the disciples of the clan. The boy had Fade wait outside shortly while he went in to make a report.
A few minutes later, he returned with permission for Fade to speak to one of the elders there called Weston Chai, but only for a short while.
Fade nodded and went into the room.
Inside the room was a burly and toughlooking man in his fifties. Upon seeing Fade, he looked up and closely examined him from top to bottom suspiciously.
Fade smiled as though he pretended not to know and greeted politely, "Greetings, Elder Chai."
"Hello Mr. Chen. What business do you have with me?" Elder Chai asked.
