Chapter 1669: Chapter 0986: The Pattern is Too Small Chapter 1669: Chapter 0986: The Pattern is Too Small Chapter 0986: The Ga Too Small
Although Cheng Jianli had never personally experienced anything like this before, she had heard about similar events more than once, and after entering the secret realm, she witnessed and partook in several battles for fortune―where strangers fought to the death with swords and knives. These events were, in essence, acts of plunder. Except that those plunders were aid at the opportunities offered by the secret realm, and now the “plunder” that Qi Tian was proposing to her was directed at specific persons.
After thinking for a mont, Cheng Jianli said, “You decide what to do about this matter. Whatever you say, I will follow.”
Qi Tian simply smiled and replied, “Since you have no inclination in this regard, let’s forget about it then. If others do not provoke us, we won’t beco the bad guys. However, I think that your cousin’s friend won’t be so foolish. If he doesn’t know how to utilize the services of a powerful individual like us who has co to him, then his chances of succeeding in his tribulation definitely won’t be high. Heaven looks down on those with too narrow a vision.”
Qi Tian and his group didn’t have to wait long before Zhang Baogang returned, not by himself, but with another man who was dressed far more lavishly than Zhang Baogang. However, Qi Tian knew this was not the person preparing for the tribulation.
The man did not look at Qi Tian, but directly to Cheng Jianli, speaking respectfully, “Master, my young master invites you, please make your way over.”
Cheng Jianli scoffed and said, “Are you sure you’re talking to ? Does your young master not understand what respect for seniors and juniors is supposed to look like?”
Cheng Jianli’s questioning was not without reason, as the Cultivation World inherently had a strict hierarchy. A Nascent Soul Master held uncontestable authority over cultivators in the Gold Core Realm. Anyone daring to challenge this universally acknowledged rule would pay a heavy price.
The man replied calmly, “Please do not be angry, Master. My young master is urgently preparing for his tribulation and truly has no ti to co in person, not out of any disrespect to you. If you feel that my young master’s behavior has offended you, then I will apologize on his behalf. You need not move; if you have any demands, you can tell . Anything within my power, I will decide on the spot, and for what I cannot, I will act as a ssenger between you and my young master, without daring to trouble you with going back and forth.”
Qi Tian said, “In that case, let go on behalf of the Master. You stay here, Master, while I go and et him.”
Cheng Jianli knew she could not afford to move; doing so would diminish her value, potentially putting them at a disadvantage in subsequent negotiations, unless she was willing to use her Nascent Soul Stage strength to overpower the other party. That said, if the other party dared to invite her knowing she was a Nascent Soul Master, they might well have prepared ans to deal with her. If she went with the intention of using her Nascent Soul Stage strength to dominate, it might not turn out as she wished.
Cheng Jianli nodded and said, “Thank you, Sir. You go ahead and see for yourself, and talk to them. If they are disrespectful to you and look down on you, thinking they can dismiss us with trifles, I wouldn’t mind joining forces with you, Sir, to take them down from the inside out.”
The man who had co with Zhang Baogang to greet them hurriedly said, “Master, you exaggerate. We are extrely welcoming of the Master’s arrival; we would not dare to harbor any disrespect, let alone provoke the Master. If you do not wish to go, it’s fine; let this Sir represent you. It’s just a matter of eting and won’t take up much ti.”
Qi Tian followed the man and turned around, flying toward the front, while Zhang Baogang stayed behind to keep company with Cheng Jianli. The two were distant cousins, and it was not easy to et in a secret realm, where they could bond. Of course, Zhang Baogang staying behind also served as a kind of hostage.
Qi Tian followed the man, and quickly t the so-called young master, the youth preparing for the tribulation.
This person was Sun Datong, who looked very young, in his early twenties, with a gentle face, giving off the air of a modest gentleman. The robes he wore, the belt around his waist with hanging pendants, the boots on his feet, the hairpin in his hair, and the ring on his finger were all items that were far from cheap.
Even without employing the Heavenly Dao Engine’s sensing function, Qi Tian could tell that all these items were top-tier magical treasures usable by a cultivator at the Peak of the Gold Core Realm. For example, the jade pendant hanging at Sun Datong’s waist was specifically for defense. The protective shield it released could withstand a full-powered strike from an early-stage Nascent Soul expert. Had it been soone who had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage like Cheng Jianli, it likely could block attacks three to five tis without an issue.
Rich people, indeed.
Qi Tian was accustod to treasures, but he couldn’t help but marvel at Sun Datong’s wealth, no wonder he dared to offer a price of ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones to each person for protection.
The man who had brought Qi Tian bows his hands to Sun Datong, saying, “Young master, I have brought the Master’s attendant as requested. The Master said he could act as her full authority representative, and you may speak to him about anything.”
