Civilian Trading.
Inside the hall.
Jiang Yuan looked at Jia Wandao’s status panel with interest.
[Name]: Jia Wandao
[Realm]: Body Forging Realm, Sixth Level
[Innate Fate]: Danger Warning (Green), Exceptional Perception (White), Endurance (White)
[Danger Warning]: Can perceive the arrival of danger in advance and can sense the source of danger.
[Exceptional Perception]: Has far superior perception than the average person.
[Endurance]: Can endure more suffering than the average person, has a stronger will than others, and inherently possesses a stronger physique. The reason I have come here is mainly because of his green innate fate.
Danger Warning.
That day, he was able to retreat decisively because this qi movement gave him an unusual warning.
It alerted him to the imminent danger, allowing him to retreat one step earlier.
If not, the day I acted, he would have inevitably met his doom.
Jia Wandao slowly walked forward with a friendly face, saying, “Brother Jiang Yuan, I am curious about why you came to my Civilian Trading. Is there anything you need?”
“If there is anything I can do for you, please tell me directly. If it is in my power, I will definitely do it!”
He patted his chest to show his determination.
Jiang Yuan put down his teacup without uttering a word.
A momentary cold sweat broke out on Jia Wandao’s forehead.
After several moments of silence.
He feigned a cough and then said, “Brother Jiang Yuan, feel free to express yourself!”
Jiang Yuan gently said, “The day I left the city, you also sent someone to follow me, didn’t you!”
Upon hearing this, his heart skipped a beat, and a deep sense of danger surged in his heart.
A myriad of thoughts flashed in his mind.
He remembered that the ritual officer who had left the city had still not returned, and at this moment, he must have realized the fate of that officer.
Then he nodded heavily, “Yes! That is true! I was bewitched by someone that day and accepted their insinuations, so I ordered Ritual Officer Liu to follow you and investigate your father’s situation with certainty.”
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
Looking at his honesty, Jiang Yuan thought, he does have cleverness!
No wonder he could have risen from an ordinary farmer’s son to develop the Civilian Trading to such a degree.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan remains silent.
Jia Wandao bit the bullet and said, “In order to compensate for my previous stupidity, I am willing to present a thousand taels of silver as an apology. I hope Young Master Jiang can accept.” Jiang Yuan simply shook his head.
“Not enough!”
Jia Wandao clenched his teeth, “Two thousand taels, Young Master Jiang, please forgive me.”
Jiang Yuan shook his head again.
At this moment, Jia Wandao’s eyes were red-rimmed.
“Any more and I really can’t afford it!”
Jiang Yuan looked at him, and after two breaths, he slowly opened his mouth, “Three thousand taels of silver, and we’ll call it even!”
While Jia Wandao was hesitating.
A voice suddenly came from behind him.
“Father, why should we let him demand such a price, and even want three thousand taels of silver? If Ritual Officer Liu died in his hands, we have already shown forbearance by not seeking revenge!”
“Shut up!” Jia Wandao roared in anger.
“Father, what are you afraid of! I have already invited the Great Ritual Officer, with Master here, why are we afraid of them!”
At this moment, an old man slowly entered from outside the door.
“The boy (referring to his disciple) made a valid point, why are you so fearful of him? His main reliance is nothing more than the County Honour, besides that, there’s just Gu MO in the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!”
“The rest of them are no different than chickens and dogs in front of me, why should we fear them?”
The youth also spoke, “Master said…”
Before he could finish his words, Jia Wandao suddenly roared, “Shut up!”
The moment the words left his mouth.
He instantly took a step forward appearing in front of his son.
Under his son’s shocked gaze, he swung a brutal slap.
In an instant.
Smack!
A crisp slap sound.
The young man was sent flying, fresh blood spewed from his mouth.
Seeing this, Jia Wandao’s heart ached.
But the constant sense of impending death told him that if he allowed his son to continue his arrogance, even the gods could not save him.
He combined the previous news and the news he received last night, as well as the strong sense of crisis that was impossible to resist.
He had some suspicions in his heart, perhaps they all underestimated Jiang
Yuan.
Could this man be a fool?
That day he dared to go out openly to retrieve his father’s body, this had already shown that he was confident.
No matter where this confidence comes from, at least it belongs to him.
Then think about the invitation received later and Li Hao who has not been heard from since. Doesn’t this show some problems?
At this moment.
The old man shook his head helplessly.
“I don’t know what you are fearing or what you are afraid of, but I will let you know that these three people are nothing to me!” As soon as the voice fell, he suddenly moved.
Like a gust of wind, he rushed towards Jiang Yuan.
The dried palms of his hands were open, with bits of cold light.
The whole person is like a hunting hawk.
The young man on the ground watched this scene excitedly.
The Great Ritual Officer, is a top expert in Body Forging Eightfold.
Even if his qi and blood were declining now and he no longer had peak combat power.
But his martial skills have become more refined over the years, and his combat power far exceeds that of a strong person in the seventh realm of Body Forging.
Not to mention a mere Gu MO who just entered the seventh realm of Body Forging, how can he withstand his teacher’s famous special move, the Eagle Claw Gong.
In the other direction.
Watching the rapidly approaching old man, Jiang Yuan did not frown.
He continued to hold the teacup and took a sip of the hot tea.
Seeing this, anger surged in the old man’s eyes.
Arrogant kid, you’ll regret this in a while.
Just then.
Clang
A sound of a long sword being unsheathed.
In a blink of an eye, the old man’s face changed drastically.
“Sword Aura!
He cried in horror.
Then he abruptly turned back in mid-air, his heart pounding with fear.
Sword Aura, how could Gu MO master the Sword Aura?
Isn’t he a knife expert?
Thoughts surged in his mind.
Hum—
The sound of the sword humming was continuous.
In an instant, countless sword auras flashed across the hall, and the tables and chairs on both sides turned into wood shavings.
The old man saw the approaching sword tip and hurriedly said, “Young friend, wait…”
The next moment.
Gu MO sheathed his sword, turned around and walked back, his expression still so cold.
The old man behind him “plopped” and fell to the ground.
At this moment, a fountain of blood surged from his forehead.
In this sword of Gu MO, the sword aura invaded the skull, and his brain has been completely mangled, dead beyond death!
Jiang Yuan said, “Jia Wandao, three thousand taels of silver, is there a problem?”
Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Jia Wandao suddenly woke up.
He swallowed, suppressing the fear in his heart.
He quickly nodded and said, “No…no problem, Young Master Jiang, please wait a moment, I will get the silver note for you right away.”
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, “Be quick! I’ll wait for you here.”
Jia Wandao repeatedly nodded and retreated, then he casually picked up his child’s collar and left the trading hall..
