Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 29: Sui Luxiao

On the next day, Wu Long sparred with Ye Ling and advised Hua Ziyan on her technique as usual, before heading out to the Peacock Feather Trading Company, a mid to large-sized trading company that operated on this continent.

It was slightly inferior to the Golden Ox or Jade Mountain trading company he visited before, but that was only because those two were the giants that held sway over about half of the continent\'s major trade. If not compared to them, it was still a very powerful and influential organization.

The most troublesome step was to get to meet with Sui Luxiao in person, as that was not an easy task, but he had an idea that did not hurt to try.

"Welcome to the Peacock Feather Trading Company, how may our company help you today?" a polite and pretty young maiden asked respectfully as he walked in.

"I would like to discuss selling a recipe for the Qi Condensing Pill to the company" he replied, shocking her.

Qi Condensing Pill was a very popular pill that the Alchemy Tower produced exclusively. Its effect was in the facilitation of cultivation for Qi Condensation Realm practitioners. Its recipe was closely guarded by the Alchemy Tower as it was one of the keys to their ambitions.

"P-please wait a moment while I get someone qualified to attend to you, I will lead you to a waiting room" she replied, obviously flustered.

Once he was led into the waiting room, about half an hour later, a rather handsome young man, but with a hint of arrogance walked into the room.

"Hello, my name is Sui Feng, I am a manager of… hmph! What is this?! Is this a joke? Am I supposed to believe that a snotty kid is selling this precious recipe?!?! I knew the eyes of an attendant could not be trusted!" he started off polite, but as his eyes fell on Wu Long, his attitude took a hard turn.

Wu Long merely smiled and looked at the now terrified attendant that first greeted him and then led this manager here.

"Go notify the owner, as it seems obvious this clown is not fit to make this transaction", he said to her.

"Clown?!?! Who are you calling a clown?!?! You little bastard! I will teach you that this is not a place to play pranks!!! Guards!!! Teach this son of a bitch a lesson! And you! Don\'t even think of distracting the owner with this farce!" Sui Feng roared, furious and aggrieved.

When he heard of the news, eager to make an achievement, instead of reporting it higher up the chain like he was supposed to do with this important of a matter, he went in hopes of closing the deal himself. This was a deal that could potentially place the Peacock Feather Trading Company on the same level as Golden OX and Jade Mountain. It was immensely important. He was already anticipating the praise he would receive, the disappointment and aggrievement he felt of it all being a false hope all came down on him.

He was yet not experienced enough to be careful about how appearances could be deceptive in the cultivation world, and once he saw how young Wu Long looked, there was not even a shadow of a doubt in him that this was just a prank by this damn kid. Although he was not much older, he still saw whoever was even slightly younger than him as brats.

Wu Long simply approached Sui Feng, who stood there, with an infuriated face, but did not think much of Wu Long approaching him since he was higher than him in realm, and he also did not think he dared to do anything if he wanted to live.

\'Hmm, so this is that Sui Feng, huh, well, he does look the part\'

Sui Feng\'s train of thought and caring about the girl going to report to the owner, came to an abrupt stop when a palm struck him across the face with a clear and loud sound of a clap, sending him flying backwards.

There was something artistic in the scene of him flying in the air, as his long hair waved and luxurious robes flew about.

After he fell the room turned deafeningly silent, as the guards that just came in froze in places. The girl attendant looked as if her eyes that were now round as they can be, would pop out.

"Go notify her, trust me, she will reward you for it later" Wu Long merely said to the female attendant when she froze in place with a gentle smile, completely ignoring the manager and the four guards.

The attendant hesitated for a little, and then went away in a hurry.

"Catch this brat for me and break all of his limbs!" Sui Feng roared at the top of his lungs at the guards while pointing at Wu Long. Having been frustrated that a girl he fancied dared to refuse him and was still not found after running away, all of his frustration amplified whatever negative emotions he felt at the moment and in his rage he was not seeing anything around him anymore, just wanting to vent.

The guards went forward without hesitation, and approached Wu Long from two sides, trying to eventually surround him.

All four of them were in the Qi Gathering Realm, which was not even a joke to him at this point. He just waited for them to continue their encirclement, and as soon as they started attacking just casually evaded their attacks, giving them small injuries by guiding their attacks towards each other, sometimes with his palms and sometimes with just his positioning. Their cooperation skills were laughable, as they basically could not figure out how to not give him this opportunity to use their attacks against each other.

"What are you doing?!?!"

"You bunch of useless imbeciles!!!"

"Beat him! BEAT HIM, not each other you nitwits!!!"

"*&^#*&...You… #$(&(HF*#Y!!!!!!!"

All the while, the room was loud with Sui Feng\'s shouting that was sometimes unintelligible, as the rage and humiliation he felt at this moment was something he never experienced in his life.

"What in the name of Heavens is happening here?"

This whole scene continued until not a loud, but very clear and powerful voice said in bewilderment.

Hearing this voice, Sui Feng instantly came to his senses. The guards also stopped moving, happy at having a proper reason to stop as they were now hurt all over, and their faces did not resemble human faces, but some kind of purple and blue monstrosity that was unevenly swollen.

Wu Long looked to the source of the voice to see a woman that could only be described as stunning. She looked to be around thirty, with a mature charm around her. Her body was sensual and would make any man look her way at least once. Her big breasts and round ass were in perfect contrast to the slim waist, and her tall legs that were wrapped in semi-transparent dark tights were shown off through the long side slit in her rather revealing dark gray dress with fabric that seemed shining with millions of microscopic stars and were further accentuated by the high heeled shoes that had some of the same fabric she was wearing. Her beautiful facial features complemented the brown eyes with a slight orange hue, and all of it was framed by her long dark brown hair that was tied into a complicated hairstyle with braids and strands interwoven, but that also left a part that was freely falling down to her waist. She did not wear much jewelry, only some earrings, three slim bracelets interwoven on one hand, and a delicate necklace, all being silver with an orange topaz as an accent.

"M-mother!..."

Sui Feng said with a hint of fear in both his eyes and voice. It could be seen that he was struggling to talk, trying to find an excuse for all of this.

"Ah, good, I can finally talk with a person qualified to have this discussion"

Wu Long said, lightly dusting off his hands.

"Mother, I-…"

"Leave"

Sui Fen tried to speak up finally but was interrupted by a cold order, he trembled when he heard it and turned to leave the room, terrified of what the future talk with his mother would entail.

There were also a middle-aged man and a couple of young men, slightly older than Sui Feng but who still resembled him that came with her. They stood behind her, each with their own thoughts. The two brothers looked at their youngest with mocking expressions, while the middle-aged man was looking intently at Wu Long.

Sui Luxiao was also looking at Wu Long with discerning eyes, which, to her surprise, did not give her any definite results that she, with her decades of experience in the trade, would usually have. There was something unfathomable in the young man before her, something that she could not point her finger at but felt instinctively. Nonetheless, her first impression of him was negative, as she too did not believe he had the pill recipe. But she was not as inexperienced and impulsive as her son.

"This sir, would you like to follow us to a more appropriate place we can talk at?"

She finally said, in a cold, slightly rigid but still polite tone. The room was trashed as the fight was quite messy, mainly because of the clumsiness of the guards.

"Sure"

Wu Long simply nodded, as his eyes flickered with a profound light when he looked at her.
