Chapter 602: Chapter 602: The Old and the Young
Mu Weiwei arrived by car, and as soon as Qin Chuan sat in the passenger seat, he took the initiative to say, "Do you know where the Heavenly Palace Hotel is?"
While starting the car, Mu Weiwei responded, "The Heavenly Palace Hotel is not far from University City. From here, it’s about a fifteen-minute drive. Is that where you’re headed?"
Qin Chuan nodded, "Get there as fast as possible!"
"Okay!"
As soon as Mu Weiwei’s words fell, she slamd the accelerator, and the V8 engine roared like a beast, shooting forward instantly.
The mont Qin Chuan said he needed to reach the Heavenly Palace Hotel as fast as possible, Mu Weiwei seed to transform into another person, her delicate features set in a serious expression.
The roar of the Ferrari V8 engine, coupled with her control of the throttle, turned the red sports car into a bolt of lightning. With each turn, Mu Weiwei precisely gauged the car’s limits without error.
Qin Chuan looked at Mu Weiwei sowhat surprisedly, realizing that this young lady was not only extraordinarily talented in painting, but also in her driving skills.
"Screech~"
Qin Chuan felt he had just sat in the car for a short ti when, with a beautiful drift, the vehicle accurately stopped at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace Hotel.
"We’re here!"
Mu Weiwei seed to snap back to reality, shyly glanced at Qin Chuan, and then quickly lowered her head.
The fifteen-minute ride, she managed to shorten to just ten minutes.
Qin Chuan said, "You wait for
in the parking lot!"
As he stepped into the hotel, a middle-aged martial artist in plain clothes ca over imdiately.
"Mr. Qin, hello!"
The middle-aged martial artist spoke with utmost respect and a solid voice, "I’m from the Battle Domain Master Team, my na is Huo Zhengxu. The Great Elder sent
to receive you."
"The person who bid on the Nine-Turned Soul Jade is in the presidential suite on the top floor. Shall I take you to et him now?"
Truly a martial artist from the Battle Domain, not a word wasted.
Clearly, the Great Elder had everything arranged. Qin Chuan nodded, "Okay!"
Huo Zhengxu led the way, and the two of them took the internal elevator directly to the top floor.
They had only taken a few steps when they saw a procession of five people exiting the innermost presidential suite, led by a man around sixty years old.
The old man was dressed in a clean and tidy grey cloth robe, swaying with his steps. Under the grey robe, he wore a pair of clean cloth shoes.
His attire was very simple, but his eyes were deep, as if they could penetrate the human heart.
Beside the old man was a young woman in her early twenties, whose attire was in complete contrast to the old man’s simplicity. She wore a tight purple dress that accentuated her figure, with white high-heeled shoes on her feet.
However, it was clear she was not used to wearing high heels; her gait was sowhat awkward, and if she were not clinging to the old man’s arm, she probably would have trouble walking steadily.
Behind this old and young pair walked three strong, middle-aged martial artists. Although they didn’t intentionally exude pressure, one could still feel the imposing aura that was inherent to them.
Qin Chuan imdiately recognized that these three martial artists were all at the Peak Realm of the King Realm.
As for the old man, he had an extraordinary presence and was actually a martial artist of the King Realm, one who was infinitely close to the Initial Stage Realm of the Emperor Realm.
Regarding the young woman, she was also a martial artist of the King Realm, but just barely entered the King Realm.
It is clear from this that these people must co from the Ancient Martial World, because in the Secular World, such a strong lineup simply does not exist.
"What are you looking at? Never seen a beautiful woman before?"
As Qin Chuan was sizing up the group, the woman in her early twenties suddenly glared at him, speaking in an irritated tone.
Qin Chuan frowned but before he could speak, Huo Zhengxu stepped forward and said coldly, "This is a distinguished guest of the Battle Domain. I would ask you to show so respect."
"Hmph!"
The woman raised an eyebrow and said with disdain, "A distinguished guest of the Battle Domain, what’s that to ? Why should I respect him?"
Huo Zhengxu wanted to say more, but Qin Chuan stopped him.
"Is it you, sir, who won the Nine-Turned Soul Jade?"
Qin Chuan didn’t spare a glance at the woman, but instead directly addressed the elder, getting straight to the point.
The elder’s eyebrows instantly raised, and with a cold glance at Huo Zhengxu, he said, "You lot are like persistent ghosts. I’ve already said I won’t sell, yet you keep pestering . Do you really take
for a pushover?"
Seeing the elder getting angry, Qin Chuan quickly said, "Please calm down, sir. The Battle Domain is acting on my behalf to search for the Nine-Turned Soul Jade. If you’re willing to sell the Nine-Turned Soul Jade to , I am prepared to pay any price!"
"Right, my na is Qin Chuan! I have so dical skill, and I’m not bad at the Martial Path. Beyond that, I also have refining abilities..."
Qin Chuan was just about to list his own capabilities when the elder beca furious and shouted, "Shut up!"
"I don’t care who you are, or whether you know dicine, how does it concern ? Step aside this instant, or don’t bla
for not being polite!"
As his words ended, the three Martial Artists behind him took a unified step forward, their expressions cold as they stared at Qin Chuan.
For a mont, the oppressive aura of Martial Path Pressure from three King Realm Peak Martial Artists erupted simultaneously, bearing down on Qin Chuan.
Huo Zhengxu’s expression drastically changed. Almost instantly, he moved in front of Qin Chuan with a solemn look, and said seriously to the elder, "Please, sir, calm down. We an no harm. We just want to acquire the Nine-Turned Soul Jade. Why not talk with Mr. Qin? Maybe he can be of help to you."
This ti, it was the woman who spoke, looking at Huo Zhengxu with contempt as she asked, "Do you know who we are?"
Huo Zhengxu looked back at them gravely and said, "The Ancient Martial World!"
The woman coldly asked, "Knowing we are from the Ancient Martial World, you still dare to pester us repeatedly?"
Huo Zhengxu did not answer, instead glancing at Qin Chuan.
As a mber of the Battle Domain, his actions were bound by orders from above, especially those issued personally by the Great Elder. Even though he knew that the other party was from the extrely dangerous Ancient Martial World, he would rush to fight without hesitation if Qin Chuan asked, regardless of the cost.
Qin Chuan felt a naless rage boiling inside, but found no reason to erupt; after all, the Nine-Turned Soul Jade belonged to the other party. He may need it badly, but that wasn’t a justification to force a sale.
He was capable of using force, but only if the other’s actions crossed his red line.
Moreover, although the elder was angry, he didn’t harbor any killing intent towards him. Likewise, the three protectors showed no intent to kill, only exerting their pressure in an attempt to discourage Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan asked, "Are you truly unwilling to have a proper discussion with , sir?"
This ti, the elder couldn’t even be bothered to respond, but the look he gave Qin Chuan was even colder than before.
Qin Chuan directly took out a Minor Rejuvenation Pill from his Storage Ring, which was the highest-grade elixir he currently possessed. The elixirs of a higher grade had all been used up in healing.
"Elixirs!"
The elder’s pupils shrank suddenly, his face full of surprise. He had not expected a young man from the Secular World to possess elixirs, and moreover, ones of not low grade.
