Chapter 97.2 East Wolf Deputy Hall Lord (2/2)
Only Bai Jin from the West Wolf Hall remained.
“Junior brother Wang Ke, uhh no, Deputy Hall Lord Wang!” Bai Jin said with an awkward smile.
“Senior apprentice-brother Bai? What’s the matter?” Wang Ke asked with a frown.
That was the brat that asked Murong Luguang to cause problems for Wang Ke. Although the latter ended up with many benefits, he had earned it independent of the brat’s doing.
Bai Jin explained himself seriously, “I was deceived by the demon, Tong An’an. That’s why I ended up offending you, Deputy Hall Lord Wang. But this is all part of my duty; please forgive me!”
“It’s okay. I don’t blame you!” Wang Ke affirmed Bai Jin.
But whether I blame you in my heart, don’t even ask about it.
“It’s like this: Tong An’an slandered you with his mad words, Deputy Hall Lord Wang. That means that much of the intel he provided is worthless. He spoke about many other things, so I would like to invite you to make a trip to the West Wolf Hall to interrogate Tong An’an personally. We will destroy him if he really doesn’t have any worthy intel!” Bai Jin said as he bowed in courtesy.
“Oh? You’re asking me to interrogate?” Wang Ke was a little surprised.
“Yes; he kept shouting about wanting to see you. It should be okay for you to see him, right? We will destroy that demon if there’s nothing worthwhile after you interrogate him and find that there’s nothing worthwhile!” Bai Jin said solemnly.
“Tong An’an slandered junior brother Wang; brother Wang must destroy him personally!” Tie Liuyun cried out.
The second senior apprentice was in captivity under Tong An’an for many years. He hated the demon so much he wished to kill the demon personally. But, considering the virtue merit of killing Tong An’an, he still fought for Wang Ke to have the opportunity.
But Wang Ke was not dumb; he offered a quick reply, “Why doesn’t Second senior apprentice-brother come along with me. You can kill him if there’s nothing worthwhile, how about that?”
“Junior brother Wang, this……!” Tie Liuyun was surprised.
“Second senior brother, thank you for protecting me today. Tong An’an is yours!” Wang Ke said with a smile.
He was trying to repay the favor.
“Hahaha, sure, sure! I will go with you, junior brother Wang!” Tie Liuyun happily agreed to it.
He felt elated since he would have the opportunity to personally execute one of his greatest enemies.
Although Bai Jin was a little reluctant, he did not object to it, so he nodded and said, “Okay, then we shall wait for your arrival!”
After that, Bai Jin left.
“Second senior brother, I think my Revered Teacher wants to speak to me. Why don’t we head over to the West Wolf Hall tomorrow morning?” Wang Ke asked Tie Liuyun.
“Sure. I shall make my move first then; I will come to find you tomorrow morning!” Tie Liuyun laughed as he bid his goodbye.
Zhang Zhengdao led Wang Ke’s subordinates away to pack the calligraphy pieces. Only Wang Ke and his Revered Teacher were left standing there.
“Wang Ke, the calligraphy is meant for…!” Chen Tianyuan asked out of curiosity.
“Revered Teacher, I was speaking the truth just now. I’m going to open a merchant store, called God Wang Company. That’s why…!” Wang Ke replied with a smile.
“You… Ah, forget it. I will leave you to it, but don’t cause trouble!” Chen Tianyuan reminded him.
“Don’t worry, Revered Teacher,” Wang Ke assured his teacher with a smile, “There’s no way I’ll cause any trouble. The God Wang Company hasn’t even opened its first store! Everything is just beginning. I would like to invite you to grace the Ribbon-cutting Ceremony when the first store opens!”
“Cut a ribbon?” Chen Tianyuan was at a loss.
“It’s an opening ceremony; many people will be there to liven up the atmosphere! You will know it when the time comes. Right now, I only have one thing to ask you, Revered Teacher!” Wang Ke said, looking serious.
“Oh?”
“I’m going to start the company soon, but I’m still lacking an official seal, like a unique print that represents myself when signing contracts. I’m worried about people making counterfeits to sign contracts!” Wang Ke explained.
Back on Earth, no one would dare to manufacture fake seals because of the government’s restrictions. Unfortunately, there was no one taking care of such things on that cultivation planet! Wouldn’t that spell trouble in the future?
“Are you talking about the ‘Dao Jade’?” Chen Tianyuan asked with a frown.
“Dao Jade?” Wang Ke asked back.
“That’s right,” Chen Tianyuan explained, “Each Dao Jade has its own Heavenly Dao Mark that no one can counterfeit; it can also act as a foundation to boost auspiciousness and merit. Dao Jades are usually used for the cultivation of imperial seals. It can produce a unique print when it’s made into a seal! No one can fake it!”
“Where can I buy it?” Wang Ke was exhilarated.
That was the exact thing he needed!
“Buy? It is extremely rare! And rarer the ones who sell it!” Chen Tianyuan shook his head.
“Then, there must be a place where it can be found, isn’t there?” Wang Ke asked with a bitter smile.
But Chen Tianyuan shook his head again and said, “The Dao Jade is only born after a spiritual mountain goes through an indefinite amount of time. It all depends on luck, even those that you think most likely might not generate one!”
“Isn’t this the end then? My company is doomed from the very beginning?” Wang Ke’s face froze.
But Chen Tianyuan turned toward the Heavenly Wolf Sect’s spiritual mountain and explained, “We, the Heavenly Wolf Sect, have this spiritual mountain. Actually, it has already begun to generate Dao Jade. Many years have passed, I think there might be one already!”
“We have Dao Jade right in our spiritual mountain?” Wang Ke was surprised by the revelation.
But Chen Tianyuan shook his head. “Don’t even think about it. The spiritual mountain is keeping an ultimate demon imprisoned; even the slightest disruption might risk setting the demon free. That is why, even if there’s Dao Jade, we cannot retrieve it!”
“Ah?” Wang Ke was disappointed to hear the answer.
“By the way, the Demon Slaying Draw Strike you used just now, it’s not the real thing, is it?” Chen Tianyuan suddenly looked toward Wang Ke with a smile.
“Ah? Revered Teacher, you saw through it?” Wang Ke felt embarrassed.
“Haha, do you think I would mistake the skill I taught you?” Chen Tianyuan laughed heartily.
“You have sharp eyes indeed, Revered Teacher! The sword skill I used wasn’t the Demon Slaying Draw Strike, but the Ten-thousand Sword Incantation that you taught me!” Wang Ke admitted to it.
“The Ten-thousand Sword Incantation can simulate every sword skill in the world! Only those that are extremely talented in the sword can fathom such depths!” said Chen Tianyuan as he looked at Wang Ke.
“I thank my Revered Teacher for teaching me well!” Wang Ke said courteously.
He had only learned it because of the Indestructible Solar Divine Sword in him. If he merely relied on his own ability, heaven knows how many years he would take.
“You don’t have to belittle yourself. It’s not easy to grasp the essence of the skill. Among all the disciples of our sect, there’s only one more person who has grasped the essence of the Ten-thousand Sword Incantation: your senior apprentice-brother!” Chen Tianyuan said, with a satisfied expression.
“It was luck, pure luck on my part!” Wang Ke smiled.
Chen Tianyuan smiled back, “It’s good to be humble. You are much better than your senior brother in that regard. He was arrogant for quite some time when he succeeded, haha! Continue to deepen your understanding of the Ten-thousand Sword Incantation. You were still unfamiliar with it just now. You will experience its ingenuity when you become better acquainted with it!”
“Yes, Revered Teacher!” Wang Ke responded respectfully.
