Chapter 288: Chapter 288 Wang Family’s Invitation

"Just right, when the Li and Wang families compete in martial arts, all their experts should be at the competition, leaving the jade vein unguarded by Grandmaster-level fighters."

Su Luo thought silently.

The reason he had previously chosen the conventional route and wanted to go to the jade vein openly was that although he could sneak into the vein without making a sound, cultivating there might cause a tremendous commotion.

If the commotion were too great, it would certainly be detected by Grandmasters.

At that point, if he attracted the attention of the Li and Wang families’ experts, it would be a great trouble for Su Luo. Even if it didn’t threaten his life, it would surely interrupt his cultivation.

This was precisely why Su Luo had agreed to fight on behalf of the Li family, wishing to cultivate at the jade vein openly.

But he had not expected the Li family to be so despicable.

This made Su Luo decide to change his mind.

However, just as Su Luo was leaving the Tongshan Li Family, intending to go directly to the jade vein, a business car sped over and came to a sharp stop next to him.

The car door opened.

A middle-aged man with slightly graying temples stepped down from the car and looked at Su Luo, "Mr. Su, please wait a moment!"

Su Luo turned his head to look.

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Unfamiliar.

"Who might you be...?" Su Luo asked.

The middle-aged man immediately said with a smile, "I am the current Family Head of the Tongshan Wang Family, Wang Pengshan!"

The Tongshan Wang Family?

Su Luo was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected the Tongshan Wang Family to receive the news so quickly and to seek him out so promptly.

Could it be that they have planted a spy within the Li family?

Of course, Su Luo only thought this to himself and did not say it aloud.

"Mr. Su, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng, and I hope you will not refuse this meeting gift," said Wang Pengshan, directly handing over a century-old ginseng to Su Luo.

Su Luo was even more startled.

But he did not reach out to take it, saying instead, "Without merit, one should not accept rewards. Mr. Wang, please state your business."

"I would like to ask Mr. Su to represent the Wang Family in battle, defeat the Li Family, and win the mining rights to the vein," said Wang Pengshan directly.

"Since you could come so quickly, this means you probably know that the Li family has hired a more powerful expert than me and has given up on my services. In such a case, coming to me would merely waste a hundred-year-old ginseng, wouldn’t it?" Su Luo said with a smile.

"I am willing to take that bet," said Wang Pengshan through gritted teeth.

Curiosity rose in Su Luo, "Doesn’t your Wang family have a Third-Grade Grandmaster to fight?"

Wang Pengshan was frank and smiled bitterly, "To be honest with Mr. Su, we indeed hired a Third-Grade Grandmaster, but he lied about his age and is actually over thirty. We only discovered this in the past few days. If we fielded someone over thirty, and the Li Family noticed, it would break the rules. From then on, we would forever lose the mining rights to the jade vein. I can’t take that gamble, and I disdain to do so."

"Therefore, I would like to invite Mr. Su to fight on behalf of the Wang Family, even if we ultimately lose, I would accept it."

Su Luo looked at Wang Pengshan, sensing that he was quite straightforward.

The impression he gave was much better than Li Cangshan and his ilk, showing a lot more sincerity.

Su Luo nodded, saying, "Okay, I can accept your invitation and promise that if I lose, I will not take a penny. But if I win, in addition to this century-old ginseng, I want one month of mining rights to the vein, exclusively for my personal use. During this period, no matter how much jade I consume from the vein, you cannot interfere. Can you do this?"

"Just for you alone, for a period of one month?" Wang Pengshan confirmed.

Su Luo nodded.

"Alright." After pondering for a moment, Wang Pengshan agreed.

Even if Su Luo was given a full month, he alone wouldn’t use up much of the jade, insignificant in comparison to the entirety of the jade vein.

Furthermore, even if Su Luo did consume a large amount of jade, compared to the benefits they would reap from obtaining the mining rights for the next three years, their gains would be far greater.

Not to mention, Su Luo was quite sincere, having already said that if he lost, he would not take a single dime; thus, he naturally wouldn’t be squeamish.

"Pleasure doing business."

Su Luo extended his hand.

"Pleasure doing business!"

Wang Pengshan immediately smiled as well.

Very quickly.

Two days passed.

The day of the martial arts competition between the Li and Wang families of Tongshan had arrived!

This was Tongshan’s grand event, and even for the entire Yiling District, it was huge news.

Because, every three years, the Li and Wang families would compete in martial arts, and the locals’ enthusiasm for watching the competition was no less intense than their passion for the World Cup.

Especially since the Li and Wang families’ competition was open to the public.

This was what drew crowds from around the Yiling District like moths to a flame.

On the day.

The competition site was packed with people, and even the surrounding parking lots were full to capacity.

Even Su Luo, after arriving at the scene with people from the Wang Family, felt a touch of shock; he truly hadn’t anticipated the families’ competition would be so hotly contested.

"If they charged for tickets, they’d probably make a fortune," Su Luo thought to himself.

Luckily.

As he was representing the Wang Family, a guest of honor, he naturally went through a special passage and arrived at the main stage, the core area, to sit down ahead of time.

From the direction of the Li Family.

Li Duanmao immediately reported to Li Cangshan upon seeing Su Luo, "Dad, we weren’t wrong after all, that kid Su Luo really did turncoat and run off to the Wang Family."

Li Cangshan was very composed, "I know."

"You know?" Li Duanmao exclaimed.

Li Cangshan sneered, "Su Luo was picked up by that guy Wang Pengshan right near our Li Family’s territory, naturally, someone reported it to me. However, with Young Master Qin here, what can that mere Su Luo amount to? No need to worry about him."

"No wonder father didn’t mention a word even though he knew Su Luo went to the Wang Family," Li Duanmao laughed, feeling relieved.

The Young Master Qin from the Qin Family of Capital City was a genuine Fifth-Grade Grandmaster, while Su Luo was merely a Second-Grade Grandmaster; even if he could defeat a Third-Grade Grandmaster, could he truly defeat a Fourth-Grade Grandmaster?

Let alone a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster!

"This time, we will show the Wang Family what despair truly is," Li Duanmao said with a smile.

Li Cangshan then stood up, smiling, "Before the battle starts, let’s go over and say hello."

"Sure." Li Duanmao immediately said with a smile, not wanting to miss any chance to trample on the Wang Family after years of rivalry.

Li Cangshan and Li Duanmao walked straight toward where the Wang Family was sitting, looking at Wang Pengshan, "Nephew Wang, ever since the Wang Family came into your hands, it seems to go downhill year by year. For this competition, I thought you had invited some powerful help, but to think, you’ve merely picked up a castoff that our Li Family couldn’t care less about. That’s quite disappointing."
