Chapter 272: Chapter 269: Cangmang Sword Sect

"Hey!"

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Sister Jiaojiao, just wait and see."

Xu Jiaojiao suddenly froze and said seriously, "Brother Rufeng, are you serious?"

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Sister Jiaojiao, do you think I’m joking?"

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head in silence, lightly biting her red lips, thinking, "If he can really forge a cosmic spaceship, then our Cangmang Trading House could independently conduct interstellar voyages. Aside from the Spirit Stone earned from passenger transport, the trade among the various branches would no longer be restricted by others."

"Phew!"

Xu Jiaojiao exhaled gently, thinking, "If that’s the case, it wouldn’t take long before our Cangmang Trading House could stand on equal footing with the first trading house in the Mortal Domain, the Dharma Origin Sect Trading Company..."

Xu Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow, "Brother Rufeng, you better not be joking with me, I am taking this seriously now!"

Yan Rufeng’s lips curved into a slight smile as he said calmly, "Sister Jiaojiao, once we reach Dragon Origin Star, I will forge a cosmic battleship for you that is ten thousand times faster than this spaceship. Would that satisfy you?"

"What?"

"Ten thousand times faster?"

Xu Jiaojiao showed a look of disbelief.

"Brother Rufeng, my dear brother, I didn’t mishear, did I?"

"You didn’t mishear."

Xu Jiaojiao placed her hand on her rising and falling chest, unable to calm her excitement, her mind kept exclaiming.

"Oh my heavens."

"If our Cangmang Trading House really has a cosmic battleship ten thousand times faster than the Dragon Origin, within a month we could make ten thousand interstellar trades. At that time, I bet no one would want to travel on the Dragon Origin anymore..."

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Sister Jiaojiao, if you don’t mind me asking, how long do you think it would take for your trading house to become the number one trading house in the Mortal Domain with a cosmic battleship?"

Xu Jiaojiao paused.

"In my opinion, at least a hundred years!"

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng let out a cold laugh.

"A hundred years is too long!"

Xu Jiaojiao frowned.

"Brother Rufeng, our Cangmang Trading House is not even in the top ten in the Mortal Domain yet; a hundred years is already considered fast."

Yan Rufeng suddenly stood up, his hands behind his back.

"Sister Jiaojiao, if you agree to one condition of mine, I, Yan Rufeng, guarantee that within a year your Cangmang Trading House will leap to become the number one trading house in the Mortal Domain..."

"Hehe!"

Xu Jiaojiao laughed brilliantly.

"Brother Rufeng, I really want to know, what is your condition?"

Yan Rufeng said indifferently, "Introduce me to the main person behind your trading house’s power."

"Is it that simple?"

"Yes."

Yan Rufeng nodded, "Just that simple!"

"Hehe..."

Xu Jiaojiao covered her face laughing, "Brother Rufeng, do you really think that meeting with our main person will make our Cangmang Trading House the number one in the Mortal Domain within a year? It’s not as simple as you make it sound, is it?"

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Sister Jiaojiao, that all depends on the attitude of the power behind your trading house!"

Xu Jiaojiao exhaled softly, her expression changing slightly.

"Brother Rufeng, unless you tell me why you need to meet our main person, I won’t take you!"

Yan Rufeng straightened his back and said seriously, "I have only one purpose for meeting your trading house’s main person."

Xu Jiaojiao asked, "What purpose?"

Yan Rufeng’s eyes gleamed, his tone rising, "To make them subordinate to me, Yan Rufeng."

"Haha..."

Xu Jiaojiao laughed loudly, "Brother Rufeng, I didn’t expect you to have such grand ambitions despite your age."

Xu Jiaojiao’s expression changed, "Sorry, I can’t take you to meet our main person."

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly.

"Sister Jiaojiao, are you sure you won’t regret it?"

Xu Jiaojiao fell silent, thinking, "This kid, from the way he talks, seems so confident... But what gives Yan Rufeng the capability to make our Cangmang Sword Sect subordinate to him?"

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head.

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Sister Jiaojiao, if you’re unwilling to introduce me, then we’ll part ways when we reach Dragon Origin Star."

"Hehe."

Xu Jiaojiao sneered, "Brother, don’t go back on your word."

Yan Rufeng turned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean?"

"Hmph!"

Xu Jiaojiao snorted coldly.

"Don’t forget, you promised City Lord Murong that I would take you to Dragon Origin Star, and all your items would be sold through our Cangmang Trading House. Now you’re saying we’ll part ways when we reach Dragon Origin Star. What about your credibility, Brother Rufeng?"

"Hehe!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled.

"Yes, I did make that promise."

Xu Jiaojiao glared angrily, "So you admit it."

"Ha."

Yan Rufeng snorted, "Sister Jiaojiao, do you think someone capable of forging cosmic battleships needs your help to get to Dragon Origin Star?"

Xu Jiaojiao was stunned, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean?"

Yan Rufeng sat down, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.

"Sister Jiaojiao, to be frank, the moment I agreed with City Lord Murong, I had already decided to bring your Cangmang Trading House and the power behind it under my command!"

"What?"

Xu Jiaojiao exclaimed, "You little runt, so you had this plan all along!"

"What else?"

Yan Rufeng spread his hands, saying helplessly, "Sister Jiaojiao, if I didn’t have this plan, would I have agreed so easily with City Lord Murong?"

"You’re infuriating!"

Xu Jiaojiao sat down heavily, saying to Yan Rufeng, "Pour a cup of water for your sister to soothe my throat!"

Yan Rufeng got up and poured Xu Jiaojiao a cup of tea, then smiled slightly.

"Sister Jiaojiao, we are quite fated. Think about what I said, will you?"

Xu Jiaojiao sipped the tea.

"Brother Rufeng, it’s not that I don’t want to agree with you. Once we reach Dragon Origin Star, let me report this to our main person and then give you a reply."

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly.

"Sister Jiaojiao, my time is very precious, you must seize the moment."

"Hmph!"

Xu Jiaojiao scoffed, "As if everyone’s time is as plentiful as air..."

...

The Dragon Origin spaceship had been traveling for twenty days, and Yan Rufeng’s condition still had Xu Jiaojiao’s mind unsettled.

During this time, Yan Rufeng remained seated in meditation, while Xu Jiaojiao’s clear eyes never left Yan Rufeng.

"Sigh!"

Xu Jiaojiao let out a long sigh internally.

"What does Yan Rufeng have that could make our Cangmang Sword Sect subordinate to him? Even if the power behind him is extraordinary, why choose our Cangmang Sword Sect? I wish I could open his head and see what’s inside..."
