magicChapter 65 : Greetings Sword King
Wei Jiaping had reason to be furious.
Even though he was snarling and growling, part of it was because he was flustered.
He knew that Su Jingxing was difficult to deal with.
They had no say in the terms of the deal, it would depend on Su Jingxing. This made Wei Jiaping frustrated and mad.
But there was one thing about Su Jingxing that was worthy of praise.
He had principles!
It would be extremely difficult to find another trusted expert in the middle ranks who had principles, a bottom line, capabilities. Most importantly, he needed the Eight Steps Rising Dragon.
Yes, to Wei Jiaping and Wei Jiajia, Su Jingxing believed that Su Jingxing was a sixth-grade martial artist.
Finding a sixth-grade martial artist to reach a normal transaction with was very rare.
Although Su Jingxing had the final say in the deal, it was impossible for the Wei family to expand their business using it.
But if they were in a life-and-death situation, Wei Jiaping believed that Su Jingxing would not stand by and do nothing.
The reason was very simple. If the siblings were dead, who would Su Jingxing complete the deal with?
This was the benefit of meeting the conditions with a martial artist with principles!
Thus, the remaining two requests were Wei Jiajia and Wei Jiaping’s life-saving trump cards.
The stronger Su Jingxing was, the stronger this trump card would be!
And what did Wei Jiajia do?
She had exchanged these two life-saving trump cards for “beauty” and “tutoring”!
The Muyan Flower’s function was to preserve the freshness of a person’s skin for decades.
As for selling it for money…
The Wei Family’s problem now was not being short of money, but how to keep their money!
Why did Chen Xiaodao and the others covet the Wei Family’s businesses?
It was all because they were valuable!
They did not lack money. What they lacked was powerful martial artists to protect their money.
Wei Jiajia had used up a request just for the sake of her skin. What else could it be for but beauty?
If Wei Jiajia was really a stunning beauty, she could rely on her beauty to find a backer too.
The problem was that Wei Jiajia was not!
As for the meeting appointment letter from the Ethereal Sword Immortal…
It was indeed rare to receive personal guidance from a third-grade big shot.
Take note, it was only guidance, not becoming a disciple!
The only way to get the Ethereal Sword Immortal to take in a disciple was if one was a martial arts genius with outstanding talent.
Wei Jiajia?
She obviously wasn’t one!
If Wei Jiajia was a genius, she would have long taken an expert from Qinghe City as her master.
Li Linzhou was not the only fourth-grade martial artist in Qinghe City.
Ethereal Sword Immortal’s guidance was actually referring to correcting some mistakes in cultivation, sharing about how to choose the most suitable martial arts, how to cultivate for the best effects, and what are some bottlenecks in the path of martial arts and more.
To put it simply, it was equivalent to a special-grade teacher coming to tutor you.
How much one could learn still depended on oneself.
If this kind of guidance wasn’t “tutoring”, what else could it be?
The most important thing was that this “tutoring” would only last for three days.
A life-saving trump card in exchange for three days of tutoring from a special-grade teacher.
How could Wei Jiaping not be furious!
The Eight Steps Rising Dragon was attractive to Su Jingxing, but to the Ethereal Sword Immortal, it was just an ordinary martial art.
The Ethereal Sword Immortal could fly in the sky by her own abilities.
To the Ethereal Sword Immortal, the characteristics of the Eight Steps Rising Dragon might not even be comparable to the Seven Steps Fist.
At least the explosive power of the Seven Steps Fist was pretty good.
Therefore, it was impossible for them to achieve a deal with the Ethereal Sword Immortal
The meeting with the Ethereal Sword Immortal was more of fulfilling Wei Jiajia’s wish.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was “celebrity chasing”.
This was exactly what Wei Jiaping was enraged about!
Wei Jiajia had used up two requests, and she had only considered herself.
Using the secret manual passed down through the Wei Family in exchange for her own benefits.
If this wasn’t selfishness, then what was?
Perhaps when Wei Jiajia made the offer, she wanted to make things difficult because Su Jingxing wasn’t cooperative.
After all, the Muyan Flower was priceless, and the meeting appointment letter from the Ethereal Sword Immortal was one in a billion.
But who could guarantee that Wei Jiajia did not take any chances?
No matter how much of a risk she took, it was a disgrace to the Wei Family!
It was precisely because Wei Jiajia was aware of this that she did not resist.
…
On the other side.
Su Jingxing was completely unaware that Wei Jiaping was panicking and angry, that he had yelled at Wei Jiajia and slapped her.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
After the deal ended, the Wei siblings now have nothing to do with him anymore.
Next, Su Jingxing looked forward to meeting the Ethereal Sword Immortal.
This third-grade expert would arrive at Qinghe City on the second day after the draw.
Considering that there were two people chosen this time,
Su Jingxing wasn’t sure who the Ethereal Sword Immortal would choose to meet first.
Of course, no matter who it was, it wouldn’t take long.
The Ethereal Sword Immortal’s guidance lasted for three days at most.
Su Jingxing was in no hurry.
And the result had Su Jingxing rather delighted.
The next evening, he received a message from the Ethereal Sword Immortal through the back end of the Big Fish Forum, asking to meet him at the sky garden at the top of Shi Wang Building tomorrow.
That’s right, he was the first!
As for the Shi Wang Building, it belonged to the Shi Family, a hundred-year-old martial arts family clan in the Western District of Qinghe City.
There were a total of 33 levels, with the sky garden at the top. It was the top social gathering place in Qinghe City. Ordinary people could not step in here.
Almost all the major factions in the city wanted to receive Ethereal Sword Immortal.
The Shi Family had pulled some connections and somehow managed to invite the Ethereal Sword Immortal
In order to make it convenient for the Ethereal Sword Immortal to guide the lucky ones, they directly closed the sky garden to the public for a month.
For such gains in connections, the Shi Family was willing to give up a year of their profits, let alone a month’s.
Even if they do not get to form a relationship in the end, the reputation of the Shi Wang Building would have been fully established after this.
The living advertisement of a third-grade expert only came by for the Shi Family once in so many decades.
Of course, they did not dare to publicize it openly. They only got people to keep an eye on the two lucky ones.
Yang Jian and Wei Jiajia.
The Shi Clan would be tired of living if they were to use the Ethereal Sword Immortal to promote their name.
But publicizing Yang Jian and Wei Jiajia would have no problems at all.
So.
When Su Jingxing disguised himself as Yang Jian and walked into the small square in front of the Shi Wang Building, he was immediately surrounded by a group of media reporters that the Shi Family had long prepared but pretended to have just stepped out of the building.
“Hello, Mr. Yang. Have you received a message on the meeting location with the Ethereal Sword Immortal?”
“Mr. Yang, on behalf of the netizens, I would like to ask, are you married?”
“Yang Jian, Yang Jian, do you think you deserve this opportunity?”
“Mr. Yang, did you come here because the Ethereal Sword Immortal summoned you?”
“Yes, Mr. Yang. Did the Ethereal Sword Immortal summon you to meet her at the Shi Wang Building?”
“…”
A group of people held microphones and guided Su Jingxing “unknowingly”, wanting Su Jingxing to say what they wanted to hear.
The location set by the Ethereal Sword Immortal was inside the Shi Wang Building!
Su Jingxing was not prepared at first and almost fell for it.
But after listening for a while, he realized that these media people were deliberately trying to bait him.
Without batting an eyelid, he leaped into the air on the tip of his toes and stepped on the heads of these people as he quickly entered the building.
After entering, he continued to ignore the gazes of the other people in the building and took the elevator to the sky garden on the top floor.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened.
Su Jingxing walked out and stepped onto the grass-covered garden. His gaze swept around the surroundings and locked onto a graceful figure with cascading black hair.
“Greetings, Sword King, I’m Yang Jian. I’m not from any sect or organization..”
