The atmosphere in the arena suddenly tensed. Two Pavilion Elders flashed into position, blocking her path.
"What is this?" Ning Xiaoxian's eyes narrowed, "Who are you to dare block my way within the Duobao Pavilion?"
Miao Tianxue declared loudly, "Young lady, do not be afraid, we mean no harm. I am the Master of Duobao Pavilion, this is Pill Master Xu Moyou, a Senior, and everyone present here is a member of the Pavilion Elder Council. Li Jianming is currently not here, I can collect the Spirit Pill on his behalf."
Ning Xiaoxian elongated her "oh", responded with a couple of "I've long respected you," and then quite straightforwardly shook her head, "No deal."
Luckily, at the same time as the others' expressions changed, she said, "This trade was agreed upon by Li Jianming and me; the Spirit Pill can only be handed to Li Jianming. Since he's not here, we can't proceed with the deal. When he returns, you can come find me again."
