Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!! Chapter 613: Confrontation

"This is very bad!" Zhong Ben realized the gravity of the situation, jumped up from his chair, and rushed out of the room. The elders behind him were a bit late to react, but they also rushed after him.

…

In the guest hall of the Zhong Family, Noah, dressed in the sa outfit and mask he used during the competition, sat calmly on the luxurious sofa, sipping the calming tea served to him by the servants. The room was neither too big nor too small. It was made more luxurious than most of the rooms in the estate, representing the grandeur of the Zhong Family.

If he had to compare, it was naturally more luxurious than the room he had seen in the city lord's mansion of Golden Edge City—the city under Ma Li's father's jurisdiction.

Even the simple table before him was made from thousand-year-old mahogany wood, which alone was equivalent to a rank 4 beast. Just as Noah admired the coiled bone inlay furniture, crafted from the remains of a rank 5 beast, soone entered the room.

Turning his gaze towards the entrance, Noah saw two people dressed in sea-green robes entering.

Noah already knew about these two before even stepping into the Zhong Clan's area and was not surprised by their presence.

"You are not the people I was waiting for." Noah stayed calm, took another sip of tea, and let his eyes move from the old man to the young man following behind him.

"Indeed, we are not the people of the Zhong family." The old man let out a simple chuckle as he tried to assess the boy sitting before him, secretly.

Since Noah put no effort into hiding his cultivation, the old man paused in shock upon discovering the boy before him was a golden core-level cultivator. He had heard about Noah and knew that during the competition arranged by the empire, the boy was only at the peak of the core formation realm.

In such a short ti, the boy had managed to break through to the next realm. From the looks of it, his realm was very stable, and he was even ready to break through to the next level at any ti.

'Even though I cannot sense the bone age of this boy, he should not be any older than 20.' The old man lowered his head, a cold light flashing through his eyes. 'I must gather information about his sect before deciding how to deal with them. We cannot take this lightly.'

Suppressing the shock in his heart, the old man raised his head once more, maintaining his usual smile. "Even then, you must still be aware of us. After all, you even went as far as poaching one of our disciples publicly."

As soon as the man stopped speaking, Noah felt a great amount of montum lock onto his body, attempting to shake his calmness. Though Elder Han did not release his full aura, he was still soone at the peak of the core formation realm and only a breath away from breaking into the Soul Formation realm. The montum alone was enough to make an ordinary golden core cultivator break out in a cold sweat.

The servants in the room paled and rushed out. Wu Fei, standing behind Elder Han, looked at Noah with hostility in his eyes.

"Haha!" Noah, unfazed by the aura, started laughing, which once more surprised Elder Han and his disciple. "So you are an elder from the Spirit Lotus Sect. Aren't you exaggerating a bit by saying I poached soone from your sect?"

"From what I heard, I rely made a suggestion. It was your own deeds that pushed her to leave the sect and agree to my suggestion." Seeing the frown appearing on Elder Han's face, Noah smirked and continued, "After all, if she was treated the way she deserved in the sect and had a good impression of it, why would she even listen to my proposition?"

"From what I heard, Zhong Hua was harassed in the sect by her fellow disciples, who followed her wherever she went. Whenever she complained about them, no strict actions were taken, prompting others to do the sa."

"It's not like she didn't take matters into her own hands. Zhong Hua injured them, which was against the rules of the sect, but no one punished her for that," Wu Fei retorted with an annoyed look, getting angry at Noah. He was one of those who had pursued Zhong Hua, only to be beaten by her.

The boy did not realize that he had fallen into Noah's trap. Elder Han, who sensed the trap, scowled at his disciple in his heart. But once the arrow was released, there was no stopping it.

"So you knew Zhong Hua was forced to the point she had to take matters into her own hands and still did nothing."

"No—"

"What if she didn't have the Zhong clan as her backing? What would have happened to her? What if she had no talent? Would you still ignore her 'cris'?" Noah barely suppressed his smirk as he interrupted the boy and asked back, "And you still wonder why she chose to leave your sect."

"Even though the sect was a bit lacking in this point, it's no excuse for Zhong Hua to ignore all the resources the sect used to nurture her and betray us like that." Seeing that there was no recovering the conversation, Elder Han put on a stern look and used the moral ground to pressure Noah. Even Wu Fei realized he had fallen into a trap, so he did not speak further and rely looked at Noah with a dark expression.

"Then I will do my best to pay back the resources the sect used on before leaving the sect." Noah had no intention of replying as soone else spoke up before him. The cold yet enchanting voice belonged to none other than Zhong Hua herself.
