Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Disdain

"You’re returning to Jiangbei with Nian Nian first?" Su Luo frowned, "Is it because of what happened last night?"

Xia Yi remained silent.

And silence was also a form of tacit agreement.

A moment later, Xia Yi said, "That’s part of the reason, but also, I don’t want to affect your important business. Having me and Nian Nian with you will inevitably divide your attention."

Su Luo’s expression turned somewhat somber.

This time, he brought Xia Yi and Nian Nian along precisely to cultivate a relationship with Xia Yi. After opening their hearts in last night’s conversation and achieving a spiritual connection, everything seemed to be going well, but then it turned into an unbearable awkwardness.

But Su Luo saw that Xia Yi’s gaze was very firm.

Clearly, Xia Yi had made up her mind.

And Xia Yi was not the kind of woman who completely depended on others; she had her own opinions.

"Fine, then you and Nian Nian go back to Jiangbei first, and once I’m done here, I will return to Jiangbei to find you," Su Luo said.

Seeing Su Luo agree, Xia Yi finally let out a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face, "Okay."

Afterward, Su Luo arranged for Zhou Ye to escort Xia Yi and Nian Nian back to Jiangbei.

Even though Xia Yi expressed that she and Nian Nian could return alone, how could Su Luo rest easy with that?

"Once the Yiling trip is over, when I return to Jiangbei, I’ll pass on the Immortal Cultivation Methods to Sister Yi and Nian Nian, and then go to the Kunlun Special Training Base," Su Luo thought to himself.

After that.

Su Luo left Yiling County Town and headed for Tongshan Town.

The jade stone with the Chaotic Aura was mined from the White Jade Vein at Yiling County, Tongshan Town!

And that White Jade Vein was controlled by the two most powerful local families.

The Tongshan Li Family.

And the Tongshan Wang Family!

Of course, now, people from outside preferred to call them the Yiling Li Family and the Yiling Wang Family because they were from Yiling. However, the locals preferred to call them the Tongshan Li Family and the Tongshan Wang Family.

Because these two families had originated from here in Tongshan Town and made their fortunes here.

The ancestral homes of these two families, also the main families, were always located in Tongshan Town.

Upon arriving at Tongshan Town.

Su Luo directly went to visit the Yiling Li Family.

The Yiling Li Family was located to the north of Tongshan, in a large estate with a grand and imposing gate.

"Sir, may I ask who you are visiting and if you have an appointment?"

When Su Luo came to the Yiling Li Family estate, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.

Su Luo noticed that even the gatekeepers of the Yiling Li Family were Inner Strength Martial Artists. Although not highly skilled, having Inner Strength Martial Artists as gatekeepers was rare to see in Jiangbei.

Indeed, some less bustling places can hide real dragons and crouching tigers.

"I don’t have an appointment, but please announce my arrival. Just say that I come from the Jiangbei Lin Family and I am here to aid in the fight. Someone from your Li Family should know," Su Luo said.

This was the groundwork Lin Yuexian had laid for Su Luo after investigating the origin of the jade stone. Su Luo knew that the Li and Wang families were competing for the mining rights of the White Jade Vein, and Lin Yuexian had also made arrangements through his connections to introduce him to the Li Family.

As long as he helped the Li Family win the mining rights to the jade stone vein, he could go into the vein and freely extract a portion of the jade stone.

"Aid in the fight?" The gatekeeper looked at Su Luo skeptically.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Su Luo had arrived by taxi.

If Su Luo truly had the strength to aid in the fight, he must be a Martial Arts Grandmaster—a significant figure who would surely be accompanied by a personal vehicle and driver. How could he possibly come by taxi?

"Are you certain, that you are here to aid in the fight?" The gatekeeper didn’t let Su Luo in directly but asked again.

Su Luo said, "Yes, I’m here for the Li and Wang families’ competition over the White Jade Vein’s mining rights in two days’ time."

"Are you a Grandmaster?" The gatekeeper still scrutinized Su Luo, mainly because Su Luo looked too young, like he was barely in his twenties.

After becoming a Cultivator, refining his body and cleansed by nature’s spiritual energy, Su Luo indeed felt like he was aging in reverse. Originally clean-cut, he now appeared even younger, not like someone of twenty-five, but more like a college student in his early twenties.

In response to the gatekeeper’s scrutiny, Su Luo didn’t get angry; instead, he said, "You could say that."

Strictly speaking, he was not a Grandmaster but a Second Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivator; his strength indeed lay between that of Martial Arts Grandmasters.

The gatekeeper almost laughed.

You could say that?

Are Grandmasters debatable?

"My friend, if you’re trying to deceive someone by pretending to be a Martial Arts Grandmaster, our Li Family is not a good choice. I’ll give you some advice, go to the Wang Family to the south. They are foolish; you might have a chance there," said the gatekeeper after making a judgment, his tone no longer so polite, wanting to shoo Su Luo away.

After assessing the situation, the gatekeeper concluded that Su Luo was a charlatan posing as a Martial Arts Grandmaster and wanted to send him on his way.
