"He has no money. He may fancy it, but he can’t afford to buy it!" Su Xianci wondered if people from the Eastern Wilderness are all bonkers.
"No money? That’s okay, you can pay later when you have it." Zhao Xiu said it matter-of-factly, even Minmin couldn’t help but hold her mouth and giggle.
This outco was bewildering not just to Su Xianci, but even to Li Hengsheng.
"Zhao Shopkeeper, are you playing tricks on ?" Su Xianci was furious at this mont; he, a young master of the Su family, had never suffered such humiliation!
"Young Master Su, you shouldn’t say that. Our Evergreen Comrce Association treats everyone ’equally’ and is very ’fair’." Zhao Xiu said hastily.
"Zhao Shopkeeper, we just placed a big order for your aromatic tea, but with your current attitude, I’m a bit dissatisfied and wish to cancel the order." Su Xianci said coldly.
"Oh, alright, I’ll cancel your order right away and return the deposit you just paid." Zhao Xiu nodded and said.
Zhao Xiu then took out silver notes from his possession and handed them to Su Xianci.
Su Xianci stood there dumbfounded.
How could Zhao Xiu be so impervious?
For Li Hengsheng’s sake, he was willing to offend the Su family by even canceling his order?
Su Xianci almost wanted to curse, "You’re so partial to him, why not just make Li Hengsheng your dad?"
Zhao Xiu would probably be thrilled, thinking, "Is there such a pleasant surprise?"
"Just wait for ."
Su Xianci turned around and left the Evergreen Comrce Association in a fury.
Chen Wangan also followed.
Even after stepping out through the gates of the Evergreen Comrce Association, Su Xianci still couldn’t accept the result; he, the Ninth Young Master of the Southern Wilderness’s Su family, had encountered such treatnt!
"Ninth Young Master, please don’t get angry." Chen Wangan, unsure of what to say, also felt the situation was odd.
Simply unreasonable.
"Don’t get angry?" Su Xianci showed a sinister smile: "Uncle Chen, do you think I won’t be angry?"
Chen Wangan was at a loss for words; he actually understood well.
Su Xianci is the ninth son of the Su family’s patriarch.
And is a strong contender for the future patriarch of the Su family, a person of influence both in the Su family and the entire Southern Wilderness, always the center of attention wherever he goes.
But now, to be treated like this in a place like the Eastern Wilderness, how could he accept it?
"Uncle Chen." After a while, Su Xianci’s tone cald down.
"Hmm?" Chen Wangan looked at Su Xianci.
"That one nad Li Hengsheng." Su Xianci said while looking back: "As long as he’s alive, I can’t ease my heart’s grudge."
"Ninth Young Master," Chen Wangan frowned and said: "This is Minghong State; killing a disciple from Dao Mountain’s Ancient Land here might make it very difficult for us to leave Minghong State. Don’t act recklessly! As Dao Mountain’s Ancient Land people don’t care whether we are from the Su family or not."
"But I can’t swallow this anger!" Murderous intent surged in Su Xianci’s eyes.
anwhile, Li Changqing silently watched everything unfold.
Seeing the murderous intent Su Xianci harbored for his son, his expression turned icy.
Want to kill my son?
Ha.
Xue Qianbai once killed two elders of the Su family. Seems that wasn’t enough. If he dares to make a move, Li Changqing would let the Su family’s Ninth Young Master also die within the Eastern Wilderness.
Su Xianci took a deep breath for a while, seemingly realizing that what Chen Wangan said made sense; killing a disciple from Dao Mountain’s Ancient Land here is like declaring war on Dao Mountain’s Ancient Land.
If it were in the Southern Wilderness, it might be different. Killing Dao Mountain’s disciples here in the Eastern Wilderness, especially in Minghong State, would undoubtedly be courting death.
If the Thousand Snow Sword Venerable were to kill him, even the Su family couldn’t intervene.
"I won’t kill this Li Hengsheng, but I won’t let him live well either."
Su Xianci said blandly: "Uncle Chen, go find out what other family mbers this Li Hengsheng has, see if he has brothers, or a father or sothing. Break their two legs, sever their tendons for ! Let them beco disabled, I want Li Hengsheng to taste the pain of losing family!"
"Okay." After pondering for a while, Chen Wangan knew if nothing was done, Su Xianci would certainly explode.
Attacking Dao Mountain’s disciples wasn’t possible, but targeting his father, Dao Mountain’s wouldn’t intervene, right?
And if done secretly, who would know who did it?
After plotting, both left the entrance of the Evergreen Comrce Association.
"So ruthless!" In the inn, Li Changqing overheard the two’s words, shuddering and rubbing his tendons.
"They actually want to sever my tendons, really terrifying, are kids nowadays this wild?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changqing shook his head helplessly.
Then, he ignored it and continued with his work.
At this mont in Li Changqing’s room, he had prepared many things, all for Yang Tiantian tonight.
And on the table lay a piece of pitch-black wood.
This wood was specially retrieved by Li Changqing after a trip back to Changting Town.
In the Evergreen Comrce Association, Li Hengsheng looked at the "Thousand Feet Thunderbolt Map" in his hand and felt the situation sowhat surreal.
He bought this "Thousand Feet Thunderbolt Map" without having enough money on hand?
Zhao Xiu, with a fawning smile, not only carefully packed the map and handed it over but even told him there was no rush to repay the fifty thousand silver, repay whenever or not at all, just consider it making a friend.
Li Hengsheng was utterly stupefied; doing business like this, how could you not incur a loss?
All the way on the carriage ride back to where he lived, Li Hengsheng remained in a state of puzzled disbelief.
"Uncle Xu." Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask: "Have I been on the mountain too long? Have I not co down enough?"
"I usually hear senior brothers say the world down the mountain, is it different from what I’ve encountered? They say it’s a world where profit drives everyone’s actions, but the people I et are all warm, kind, friendly. Nothing like the deceitful, treacherous world my senior brothers describe."
Sitting upfront driving the carriage, Xu Kui listening to Li Hengsheng’s words, also fell into self-doubt.
The past few days’ experiences made even him, a seasoned veteran, doubt everything he believed.
Has the world turned into this?
This once bloody world now brimming with love?
All his years of experience in the rciless world had beco completely useless.
Things constantly went against his expectations.
The most outrageous thing was selling a one million silver note item for fifty thousand, and then saying repay whenever convenient.
Xu Kui couldn’t help but recall the ti he wanted a bowl of noodles due to hunger, but the noodle shop owner pointed at him calling him a pauper and kicked him out for being one penny short.
"Perhaps, the world truly has changed?" Xu Kui sighed lightly, suddenly feeling old.
Nearing nightfall.
Yang Tiantian sneaked out of her room and leapt out of the courtyard, heading towards the outskirts.
She was a bit excited.
Tonight, perhaps the matter of her twin soul might be resolved.
