The old man looked so disheveled so Bi Qisen didn’t recognize him at first, which was why he dared to act tough in front of Tang Lianyuan.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to continue with taking Feng Tiejian away forcefully with Tang Lianyuan stepping in.
But things were different after that.
Bi Qisen was being stubborn because he wanted to win in terms of aura.
After all, there were so many people watching, he couldn’t embarrass the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce
To his surprise
The Diamond King, Wu Baoxiang was also present, and had also had his sights set on the human medicine rascal, He directly took him in as his disciple!
Bi Qisen became flustered.
Being invincible among third-grade martial artists wasn’t scary. What was scary was that this Diamond King didn’t have any relatives, children or disciples.
Before today, he had always been a lone wolf.
Not to mention the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, even the Yu Nation’s imperial family would not want to provoke a third-grade lone wolf.
Because he had nothing holding him back!
Once they were at each other’s throats, the Diamond King wouldn’t have to worry about anyone or anything. Sneak attacks, assassinations, poisoning, and ambushes were all within his means.
He was invincible among third-grade martial artists, and had no scruples; no faction could withstand this.
If the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce became at loggetheads with the Diamond King because of Bi Qisen’s selfish desires,
The other chairmans would only throw Bi Qisen out for the Diamond King to vent this anger.
They had only banded together because of profit.
When one’s own interests were threatened, no one would care about anything else.
This was the the terrifying deterrence and what was scary about lone wolves
As long as he did not die, he had to be prepared to endure endless revenge.
Bi Qisen was no match for Wu Baoxiang, and he did not want to die.
So all he could do was bow his head in defeat!
Previously, he had attacked Su Jingxing because he didn’t know his identity.
Had he known about Su Jingxing’s abilities earlier, Bi Qisen would never have revealed his intentions.
Pity, it was too late.
Fortunately, there was still room for discussion, and they had not reached the point where they would fight to the death.
“Jade Essence Liquid!”
Bi Qisen said in a hoarse voice, “I’m willing to give a catty of Jade Essence Liquid…”
“10 catties,” interrupted Wu Baoxiang. “10 catties of Jade Essence Liquid and I’ll take it that I never saw you.”
sure!”
Bi Qisen gritted his teeth. “10 catties of Jade Essence Liquid. In half a month…”
“Three days,” interrupted Wu Baoxiang again. “If I see 10 catties of Jade Essence Liquid in three days, we’ll be strangers from now on.”
“Alright!”
Bi Qisen agreed through gritted teeth. “In three days, I will present 10 catties of Jade Essence Liquid!”
“Excellent.”
‘Wu Baoxiang smiled. “Me and my disciple will wait for you at the Martial Suppression Office for three days.”
With that, he turned around and walked towards the confused Feng Tiejian.
“Let’s go, disciple.”
‘Wu Baoxiang picked up Feng Tiejian and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon amidst the latter’s screams.
He left!
At the entrance of the hotel, the spectators looked at one another.
Even Gu Zhanlin and Tang Lianyuan looked helpless.
“The Diamond King has always been like this,”
Gu Zhanlin explained to Su Jingxing. “He’s a straightforward man who does whatever he wants. He never cares about anything else.”
“He has the capital to act wantonly,” replied Su Jingxing.
How many people dared to provoke an invincible third-grade lone wolf?
“10 catties of Jade Essence Liquid. Bi Qisen is going to make huge losses this time,” commented Tang Lianyuan with a gloating smile.
“That’s right. The most important resource to cultivate the ultimate technique of the Diamond Sect is Diamond Oil. Jade Essence Liquid is the main ingredient in the refinement of Diamond Oil. It’s already a huge haul to be able to harvest a few hundred grams at once. I wonder where Bi Qisen will get 10
catties of it in one go.”
Gu Zhanlin smiled wickedly.
“No matter where he gets it from, it has nothing to do with me.”
Su Jingxing said in a low voice, “Now that the matter has been resolved, I’ll make a move first. Farewell!”
With that, he leaped into the air and disappeared at his fastest speed.
“Leaving so soon?”
‘Tang Lianyuan raised his eyebrows. “This Elder Jiang sure has a personality.”
“A top-ranked martial artist who lives in seclusion. It’s normal for him to have a personality,”
replied Gu Zhanlin with a smile. “On the other hand, what do you plan to do with Chairman Bi?”
“What to do?”
Tang Lianyuan sneered coldly, “Of course we’ll slowly settle the scores with him after he hands over 10 catties of Jade Essence Liquid to the Diamond King!”
In the air.
After leaving the prefecture city’s territory, Su Jingxing took out Thunderbolt and rode his spirit weapon through the air towards Qinghe City.
‘Wu Baoxiang taking Feng Tiejian away was something Su Jingxing earnestly wished for.
Su Jingxing had warned him not to leave the hotel room, but he just wouldn’t listen.
Had it not been for the fact that the Diamond King happened to be nearby and followed Gu Zhanlin and Tang Lianyuan over to check on the situation after hearing the commotion,
$u Jingxing would’ve made another enemy out of thin air this time.
And it was an enemy backed by a huge organization like the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce.
Now, Wu Baoxiang had taken him away as a disciple.
With a backer, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of others anymore.
Henceforth, Su Jingxing had repaid Feng Tiejian entirely for his care in the past. Whatever happened to Feng Tiejian subsequently had nothing to do with Su Jingxing anymore.
This time, he was surprised to learn from Gu Zhanlin that the Flying Lion Ring had been found.
Half of the Flying Lion Ring was in his hands.
Initially, he thought that it would take at least a few months or years to find the other half.
To think it appeared so quickly.
If he could combine the two, he would be able to wake up the Flying Lion army that had sealed itself for a few hundred years!
But.
How?
Getting half of the Flying Lion Ring wouldn’t be easy for Su Jingxing either.
Back then, if it weren’t for the fact that the third-grade expert from the Golden Chen Family did not want the Flying Lion Ring, Su Jingxing would have had a tough fight.
Since this half of the Flying Lion Ring was in his hands, Su Jingxing had the final say in what to do with it.
Would gifting it to the Changyang Prefecture Army provide any substantial benefits to Su Jingxing?
No!
Why should Su Jingxing do something that did not benefit him then?
Even if it would be a trade.
In any case, it would be best to keep it for the time being, He could always make the deal when he needed it.
He made up his mind.
Throwing the matter to the back of his mind, Su Jingxing made his way back to Qinghe City at lightning speed.
In his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, he washed up and changed into some clothes.
Then, he headed out and made a quick trip to the crematorium.
After that, he then headed to Gu Bo’s place to usher in the new year together.
Before that, he picked up his new year’s present for Gu Duoduo.
That night, Gu Duoduo was overjoyed and declared that this new year celebration was her happiest one.
She also asked Su Jingxing to celebrate the next new year with her.
$u Jingxing changed the topic.
It was too early to make an agreement now.
Especially when Su Jingxing had made a deal with Liu Chenglong to protect the Yu Nation for 10 years.
‘What if something were to happen somewhere else next year, and needed Su Jingxing’s help? Wouldn’t he be breaking his promise?
Even if Gu Duoduo forgot about it by then, Su Jingxing would have to abide by it.
Half-heartedness and speaking haphazardly was most taboo for condensing the Martial Art True Intent.
Moreover, Su Jingxing was preparing to condense his own Martial Art True Intent, all the more he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.
The purer the mind, spirit and will, the better!
