Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Sihe Chamber of Comrce
Liu Zhixiang quickly located several nas on the list.
Cheng Ran, an ordinary disciple from Canglang Martial Arts Hall.
He had achieved Qi Blood Perfection, with strength coursing through his entire body.
At the fastest, within a month, at the slowest, within two months, Cheng Ran would have mastered Refining Skin, with his skin mbrane continuously connected throughout his body, entering the ranks of Martial Arts Nine Grade.
Entering into Martial Arts rank was the basic condition for joining the Inspection Office.
Canglang Martial Arts Hall had five spots, and the Sihe Chamber of Comrce also knew that Cheng Ran was likely to obtain one of those spots.
Moreover, his family was very wealthy, able to support his journey further in Martial Arts.
…
Xiao Peng, a True Disciple of Canglang Martial Arts Hall.
He also had a considerable chance to compete with Cheng Ran for that spot.
The advantage Xiao Peng had in the eyes of the Sihe Chamber of Comrce was that his skills were more outstanding, and he had beco a True Disciple of Wang Jin. Being half a year younger than Cheng Ran, this signified that Xiao Peng’s talent might be more exceptional than Cheng Ran’s.
As for the other four True Disciples of Canglang Martial Arts Hall, they had already secured their spots to compete for entry into the Inspection Office.
…
Zhou Xing and Zhang Tiesheng, in Liu Zhixiang’s view, completely lacked investnt opportunities.
Because the Zhou family to which Zhou Xing belonged was not much inferior to the Sihe Chamber of Comrce in terms of property and influence.
And Zhang Tiesheng had been recruited by Zhou Xing, becoming Zhou Xing’s guest and was essentially part of the Zhou family.
…
The remaining two True Disciples were Li Qing and Zhao Hu.
In the eyes of the Sihe Chamber of Comrce, Li Qing also had little chance.
After all, the Li family was equally well-off, existing on the sa level as the Sihe Chamber of Comrce.
How could they make a benevolent gesture in ti of snow?
…
Therefore, out of the entire Canglang Martial Arts Hall, the Sihe Chamber of Comrce saw only three people truly worth fighting for.
Cheng Ran, Xiao Peng, and Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu ca from an external sect, with a poor family background but extraordinary bones and quite high martial arts talent.
In terms of talent, he was not much inferior to Zhou Xing.
The only thing he lacked was resources.
People like Zhao Hu were the talent that the Sihe Chamber of Comrce valued most.
Liu Zhixiang first approached Cheng Ran.
After introducing himself and stating his purpose, he handed over an invitation.
Then, he headed toward his second target, where Xiao Peng was located.
…
In the front courtyard of the Martial Arts Hall.
Cheng Ran’s lips curved into a small smile as he spoke to Jiang Ning, “Brother Jiang, you see? I told you, there are definitely people out there who see potential in , Cheng Ran!”
Jiang Ning smiled, “Then to whom does Brother Cheng lean more towards?”
Cheng Ran replied, “If we’re talking about the closeness of our relationship, surely I’m closer to Brother Zhou Xing, as we’re fellow disciples! But at this ti, it’s not about the relationship, it’s about who offers more benefits!”
“If the Sihe Chamber of Comrce offers a larger investnt, and the terms are equally generous, then naturally I would prefer to accept their investnt.”
“Otherwise, I would accept the investnt from Brother Zhou Xing.”
As they spoke, Cheng Ran looked at the two invitations in his hand, then at Jiang Ning, and said,
“Then again, Brother Jiang, you need this investnt even more than I do!”
Faced with Cheng Ran’s words, Jiang Ning smiled.
He knew that even without any investnt, it would not affect the upper limit of his future achievents.
Still, he couldn’t help feeling sowhat regretful.
Because he was indeed lacking resources now!
With enough resources, his strength would improve much faster, and he would enter the ranks of Martial Arts Nine Grade earlier.
The Inspection Office, in his view, was of great significance.
Inspecting the Nine States, supervising the world, executing first before reporting.
This was like a towering tree.
When you’re out and about, you have to talk about background, you have to talk about connections.
Unless you beco a person like the Martial Saint, who could stand against a country and suppress the entire world on his own, you can ignore all of this.
These thoughts flashed rapidly through Jiang Ning’s mind, and he then shook his head calmly.
“My Qi-Blood is just barely at small success, how could I earn the regard of Brother Zhou Xing and the Sihe Chamber of Comrce?”
Cheng Ran closed the invitation that Liu Zhixiang had just handed him; he had so thoughts in his heart, and so hesitations.
Through the battle earlier in the morning, he knew that Jiang Ning had far more talent than he had previously thought.
In terms of boxing skills, Jiang Ning was clearly superior to himself.
The only thing lacking was the accumulation of Qi-Blood, and this accumulation could be greatly accelerated with resources.
Even with resources, in his view, it was still too late for Jiang Ning to pose a threat to his own competition for the spot in the Inspection Office.
But as the saying goes, it’s not the possibility of a thousand that one fears, but the possibility of that one in a thousand.
He was sowhat afraid of a miracle coming from Jiang Ning.
The next mont.
His eyes beca resolute.
“Brother Jiang, how about you accompany to the Sihe Chamber of Comrce’s banquet tomorrow night?”
“I know Brother Jiang needs this investnt more than I do, even without this investnt, I have resources from my father.”
“But it’s different for Brother Jiang, with your ordinary family background and late start in learning Martial Arts, this investnt is crucial.”
“The invitation from the Sihe Chamber of Comrce is to discuss investnt, and I would like to invite Brother Jiang to join . At the banquet, I will recomnd Brother Jiang, and strive for the Sihe Chamber of Comrce to invest in you. Since they value , naturally they will consider my suggestion.”
After listening to what Cheng Ran had to say, Jiang Ning looked serious.
“Brother Cheng is so willing to assist , aren’t you afraid that I’ll threaten your spot? Our Martial Arts Hall has four confird spots, and now there’s only one spot yet to be decided.”
Cheng Ran laughed slyly, “To be honest, I’ve thought about this! But in my heart, not only is Brother Jiang my fellow disciple and brother, but also a good friend whom I, Cheng Ran, acknowledge! Since Brother Jiang is a good friend of mine, naturally I should strive for benefits for my friend.”
Cheng Ran smiled again, “Moreover, Xiao Peng is also my competitor! It’s uncertain whether I can compete successfully against Xiao Peng, and if Brother Jiang can join in, it would be better for you to snatch this spot for the Inspection Office instead of letting Xiao Peng have it.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning felt touched.
He pondered for only a mont, then gave his thanks with a cupped-fist salute.
“Since Brother Cheng has said so, I will follow Brother Cheng’s arrangent! One day, I will surely rember the favor of Brother Cheng’s patronage!”
He also wanted to strive for this investnt because Jiang Ning knew he was in great need of resources and wealth.
To advance in Martial Arts, he needed wealth.
The Energy Points on his panel also required wealth.
With sufficient wealth and resources, his strength would grow faster, and he would soon have the ability to protect himself.
He would also be able to secure safety for his elder brother and sister-in-law, as well as his nephews and nieces sooner, and repay his brother and sister-in-law for their care.
So he wanted to seize this opportunity.
At worst, it would just be a fruitless trip.
But if he could actually receive investnt from the Sihe Chamber of Comrce, it would be a resource worth thousands of taels of silver.
That would be an extraordinary fortune and of great help to his current situation.
Going with Cheng Ran, he wasn’t worried about any threats from Xu Yunfeng.
Hearing Jiang Ning’s agreent,
Cheng Ran was quite happy, patting Jiang Ning solidly on the shoulder.
“Good! That’s the spirit, Brother Jiang! Frankly, without any fuss, it’s a pleasure to be with you!!”
