Liang Chengdao is a smart businessman.
To offend soone like Wei Hu for a Buddha statue carved from jade crystal was already excessive, and to add the Sect Leader Hu Lie of the Flying Fox Sect to the mix would make it a truly losing proposition.
At this mont, he had no choice but to reluctantly give it up.
"Mr. Liang, since you’re so reluctant to part with this Jade Buddha, why don’t I return it to you?"
"To prevent your subordinates from doing anything behind your back."
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Liang Chengdao, speaking with a faint smile.
"How... how could I?"
"I was just joking with Mr. Zhang earlier."
Liang Chengdao, a giant of Qin Province who reached the top through perseverance, could advance and retreat as needed.
"Haha, then I will accept it without hesitation."
Zhang Xiaoshan took the Jade Buddha into his hands.
Liang Chengdao, after all, is a regional tycoon with the extensive network of the Ten Thousand Treasure House across the land; it’s best not to tear face.
"Then I shall take my leave."
Having obtained the Jade Buddha, Zhang Xiaoshan lost interest in the upcoming auction.
"Wu Tong, Bai Rong, you both co with ."
Zhang Xiaoshan called the two beauties to leave with him.
Bai Rong glanced at Wu Tong.
Wu Tong hesitated and said,
"Forget it, let’s et up another ti, I still have to return to school later..."
Evidently, there was a sense of inferiority plaguing the girl.
Because the influence Zhang Xiaoshan displayed now was far beyond that of the poor boy he used to be, she needed to tiptoe to look up to him.
Zhang Xiaoshan knew Wu Tong had a strong sense of self-respect, so he said nothing more.
"Alright then, add on WeChat, we’ll et another ti."
"Alright."
"I want to add you too."
Bai Rong, with her straightforward and sunny disposition, said.
"So Elder Wei, shall we go?"
"Sure, Divine Doctor Zhang, after you."
Wei Hu’s attitude was very courteous.
First, Zhang Xiaoshan saved his life, making him his savior.
Second, he suspected Zhang Xiaoshan might be an elusive Refining God Expert.
The two left the venue.
"This young man seems likely to stir up so storms in Xijing in the future. Mingyue, have soone look into his background."
Liang Chengdao instructed.
Chu Mingyue, both the star representative of the Ten Thousand Treasure House and Liang Chengdao’s goddaughter, was highly regarded.
"That brat, daring to act recklessly in front of just because he saved Elder Wei’s life. It’s just a bit of good luck. Next ti we et, I’ll make him pay."
Lin Rui muttered through gritted teeth.
...
In a private high-end dining room.
Three people sat.
Zhang Xiaoshan, Wei Hu, Wei Ling.
"Divine Doctor Zhang, today we’ve specially arranged a feast to thank you for saving my grandfather’s life, I raise a toast to you."
Wei Ling stood up with a wine glass.
Today, Wei Ling had dressed up a bit.
She wore a white furry coat over a little white dress, with sheer legwear, and her legs were straight.
That night, Zhang Xiaoshan did not look closely; now, upon observation, he found Wei Ling stunningly beautiful.
Noble yet gentle.
"Miss Wei, you’re too kind. I’m a doctor; it’s what I’m supposed to do."
Zhang Xiaoshan also stood up and clinked glasses with Wei Ling, downing his drink in one go.
After another round of pleasantries.
They had been drinking for a while.
At last, Wei Hu began probing Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Divine Doctor Zhang, may I ask how you obtained the Flying Fox Sect’s Snow Fox Flying Card?"
"That Card No. 001 belongs exclusively to Sect Leader Hu Lie of the Flying Fox Sect."
"Could it be that you have so connection with him?"
Zhang Xiaoshan naturally picked up on the probing undertone in Wei Hu’s words.
He gave it a slight thought.
His response would surely determine Wei Hu’s future attitude toward him.
Indeed, he saved Wei Hu’s life, but the more you use a favor, the less it becos.
Wei Hu’s connections would undoubtedly be helpful to him in the future, so he couldn’t solely rely on Wei Hu’s gratitude.
The best way to solidify a relationship is through shared interests.
He must demonstrate his value to Wei Hu.
"Heh."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Elder Wei, you’re right. I do know Hu Lie, but I wouldn’t call it a close relationship. If you must say, he can be considered half a senior brother to ."
"Half a senior brother?"
Hearing this, Wei Hu was shocked.
After all, Hu Lie is a renowned expert in Huaxia.
"I dare to ask, how is he half a senior brother?"
Wei Ling, curious as well, asked.
"Yes, a senior brother is a senior brother, where does half co in?"
