56 -056 Sikong Jing’s Conditions
At that moment, Sikong Jing fully understood.
Even if Lei Shuang’s death sounded like a fantastical tale from Luo Ning’s mouth, Thunder Wing Trading House still wouldn’t believe it, or even if they did, they would look for an excuse to intimidate and retaliate against Luoshui Jade Line harshly.
That was why Luo Ning had sought him out, hoping that he would fight on behalf of Luoshui Jade Line.
With this thought, Sikong Jing asked, “What if I refuse?”
After speaking, Sikong Jing stared coldly at Luo Ning, fearful that she would push him into conflict with Thunder Wing Trading House.
Of course, he wasn’t afraid of Thunder Wing Trading House, but he now had a family and disliked trouble.
If Luo Ning truly pushed him forward, Sikong Jing wouldn’t mind taking her down and then negotiating with Thunder Wing Trading House as well.
The faintly emanating killing intent from Sikong Jing’s body made the private room in the Drunken Immortal Building instantly icy cold.
Luo Ning’s heart was suddenly in chaos, but she quickly composed herself and said with a straight face, “Young Master Sikong, rest assured, if you refuse, our Luoshui Jade Line will fight on our own and will not drag you into the water.”
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing retracted his killing intent, picked up the wine the maid had poured, and spoke in a softer tone, “I have a condition.”
No sooner had he uttered these words than Luo Ning secretly exhaled, “Please say.”
“I want a Primordial Truth Pill,” Sikong Jing said, and then looked at Luo Ning again.
The latter’s eyes widened involuntarily, and she couldn’t help exclaiming, “An Upper Stage Xuan Grade Primordial Truth Pill?”
Sikong Jing nodded firmly.
In the Great Shang Dynasty, elixirs and weapons were also divided into “Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang” four grades, with the Primordial Truth Pill being an Upper Stage Xuan Grade elixir, extremely rare and costly within Yunzhou.
“Upper Stage Xuan Grade?
Why don’t you just rob someone?” Luo Ning’s maid couldn’t help but blurt out, her previously nice attitude gone.
Sikong Jing ignored the maid and spoke again, “I have a second condition.”
This sentence almost made the maid lose her temper; an Upper Stage Xuan Grade elixir was already him being overly greedy.
Luo Ning’s mouth twisted, and she asked with an ugly face, “What else?”
“After winning the duel, I want you to provide me with people.”
“Two hundred around the Third Level of the Dark Realm; I need to pursue another demon beast, likely deep within Ru Yun Mountain.”
As soon as his words fell, the entire private room went deathly silent.
The maid couldn’t help but exclaim again, “Look here, criminal, don’t be too greedy.”
Su Shan of the Dark Realm Fifth Level could be considered a minor prodigy of Yunye City.
Luoshui Jade Line, a mid-tier trading house in Yunzhou, could afford to provide two hundred Third Level Dark Realm warriors, but feared wasting them senselessly.
That was deep within Ru Yun Mountain, not a place you could casually enter.
“Little Huan, be quiet,” Luo Ning recovered and scolded the maid before turning to Sikong Jing, “Young Master Sikong, your conditions are a bit too great, I need to think it over.”
Sikong Jing nodded, downed his glass of wine in one gulp, and then said, “I’ll take my leave.”
Without another word, he rose to his feet.
As he reached the doorway, Luo Ning could not help but stand up and call out to Sikong Jing, “Young Master Sikong, may I ask what degree of certainty you have in this upcoming duel?”
Sikong Jing did not turn his head, his lips curling slightly as he said, “One hundred percent.”
The Qian Yubao, to him, was indeed not a difficult task.
Moreover, Sikong Jing was now the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, and although he had yet to try, he was certain to have absolute suppression over demon beasts.
When he made his demands, he was certain Luo Ning would agree.
From the way Thunder Wing Trading House’s Lei Shuang treated Luo Ning, it was clear that they were domineering in their actions.
This time, they would definitely bleed Luoshui Jade Line dry, and there was even the possibility of destroying it.
Only by winning the duel could Luoshui Jade Line continue to wrestle with Thunder Wing Trading House.
Indeed, Luo Ning’s face fluctuated wildly with emotion, until finally she clenched her teeth and said, “Fine, I agree to your terms.”
Sikong Jing turned around and asked, “When do we set off?”
“At dawn tomorrow,” replied Luo Ning.
“Alright, but with my status as a criminal, I won’t be able to leave the city on my own.
You’ll need to handle that part.”
Sikong Jing spoke casually and then bid farewell to Luo Ning and left the Drunken Immortal Building.
The Upper Stage Xuan Grade Primordial Truth Pill was, of course, prepared for Su Yuexi.
That being said, even if he could secure Su Yuexi’s victory in the selection seven days later, he didn’t want his wife to suffer the slightest injury.
The Primordial Truth Pill could enhance Su Yuexi’s combat power, at least to the level of the Dark Realm Fourth or Fifth Level.
As for the second condition, hunting the demon beast deep within Ru Yun Mountain was something Sikong Jing had planned for his father-in-law.
The inner core of that demon beast could suppress the rampant Earth Realm True Qi inside Su Zhenglong’s body.
Over these days, he had not just been cultivating in solitude; he had also been seeking remedies for Su Zhenglong’s condition, and the information about the demon beast deep in Ru Yun Mountain had come from Doctor Sun.
Both of his conditions were for the sake of his family.
With Sikong Jing’s departure, the voice of the maid Little Huan echoed inside the private room of the Drunken Immortal Building.
“Miss, why would you agree to such an arrogant criminal?” she questioned indignantly, having previously wished to blame everything on Sikong Jing.
“Because we can’t afford to lose,” answered Luo Ning, her expression wavering.
After leaving the Drunken Immortal Building, Sikong Jing didn’t immediately return to the Su Residence.
Instead, he made another trip to the Heavenly Martial Pavilion, intending to request Lu Zhao to assign guards to protect the Su Yuexi family during his absence from Yunye City.
In return, he offered a piece of Green Jade Paper inscribed with a Low-level Xuan Grade Martial Skill.
Lu Zhao didn’t hesitate at all and agreed right away.
Having returned home to the Su Residence, Sikong Jing was immediately questioned by the three members of the family regarding the request for help from the Luoshui Jade Trading House.
He smiled and said, “The Luoshui Jade Trading House hopes that I will leave the city to participate in a bet, to hunt the Qian Yubao of Ru Yun Mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Mei Xiaofang’s eyes widened in shock, “Have you lost your mind?
The Qian Yubao is a Peak Dark Realm demon beast.”
Su Zhenglong also looked grave, staring intently at Sikong Jing.
The Qian Yubao was well-known in Yunzhou.
Although it was only at the Peak of the Dark Realm, its speed could tear apart ordinary Human Realm demon beasts. freewёbnoνel.com
Sikong Jing paused, then hesitantly said, “I’m just going to join in the fun.
The Luoshui Jade Trading House is short on people, and afterwards, they will give me a good reward.
I’ll be able to gain experience and make money, so it’s a good deal.”
He knew that if he revealed the truth, his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Su Yuexi would surely worry, so he made up a benevolent lie on the spot.
Realizing his intent, Mei Xiaofang had a sudden revelation: so he was recruited to gather a crew.
“So that means Luo Ning invited quite a few people at the Drunken Immortal Building, right?
It wasn’t a private invitation just for you?” she asked.
Sikong Jing’s mouth twitched.
Indeed, one lie needed many more lies to cover it up, and he could only nod in reluctant agreement.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Mei Xiaofang cautioned, “Then be careful, and don’t leave Yue Xi widowed.”
This kind of remark left Su Zhenglong and Su Yuexi speechless.
Couldn’t their mother say something more positive?
Late at night, Sikong Jing stayed up in the room with Su Yuexi, unable to sleep.
Since leaving would take at least a few days, not only did he need to explain the Cultivation Technique to Su Yuexi, but he also took the time to pass on the Cloud Dance Light Spirit Step and the Floating Moon Sword Technique to her in detail.
That night, the sound of the wind and sword clashing echoed within Su Yuexi’s room.
“Brother Jing, you must come back safely.”
In the early morning, as Su Yuexi bid farewell to Sikong Jing, her little face still carried an expression of reluctance and concern.
