Hao Ren walked beside Han Lingshi, but the atmosphere between the two was not like the usual. Han Lingshi looked at him, and asked, "Ren, is something wrong?"
The young man shook his head and replied, "Nope. Why do you ask?"
The girl looked at him, and said, "You haven't asked me who I was talking to."
Hao Ren was surprised, and asked, "Why should I ask? If that person was important, you would have told me yourself, no?"
Han Lingshi thought about it and then she asked, "Well, what you said does make sense. That person is not important."
Hao Ren smiled, he was happy that she said this, and asked, "Why did you look uncomfortable around him? That is the question I wanted to ask. Did he say something bad?"
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "It is because, I do not like him. He is always too affectionate, trying to get too close to me as if he knows me for ages. What sort of stupid behavior is this?"
Hao Ren thought about this and asked, "Then tell him off."
Han Lingshi sighed and said, "It is not that I do not want to but you know dad, right. Bai Family is some big giant that influences the under current of the business world and so, he has asked me to be polite. The risks that wealth brings along with it are too silly."
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "No worries, you do not have to think so much let the elders handle it, and if you do not like that Bai guy, it will pass."
The two of them went to the class, and Hao Ren managed to make her happy. With that the points in his impression bar grew, and the meter moved past the best friend place. The day went by calmly, and then Hao Ren sent Lingshi to the car, and sent her off.
He was about to head to the cafe where the meeting was set up but a black sedan came up to stop beside him. Hao Ren turned to look around and found Bai Yulong getting down the car, and come up to him.
The two of them stood face to face. Hao Ren was trying to think who this person was, if they had any connection in their past life. However, he could not find it, and neither did he take any interest in speaking first. Bai Yulong raised his hand, and reached for Hao Ren's shoulder, when the latter snorted and repelled Bai Yulong.
Bai Yulong was visibly shocked, he did not expect that Hao Ren would have such power. He asked, "Who are you?"
Hao Ren replied, "You are not worthy of knowing who I am, just stay in your lane and stay away from Lingshi, or you will regret it."
Bai Yulong narrowed his gaze and said, "Fellow Daoist, it is bad to covet others treasures. I can give you pure yin herbs if you want but Han Lingshi is mine."
Hao Ren was so angry that he could not help but smile, and he said, "Fucking parasite, do you think I am the same as you."
Then he revealed a shred of his aura, and the Yang attribute he had been cultivating hit Bai Yulong in the face. The latter was forced to take a few steps back, and Hao Ren said, "Leave, it is not yet the right time to kill you."
Bai Yulong clenched his fist and opened the door, as he said, "You better not push me into a corner. A cornered beast is more dangerous."
Hao Ren sneered and replied, "You are not a cornered beast, but an insect at the end of its flight. Enjoy the days you have, undying old leech, you can fool the world but not me. Do what you want, and I will match you."
As he said that, Bai Yulong got inside the car, and Hao Ren watched him leave. He understood that Bai Yulong was not at the peak of core formation realm, but he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, just like him, because when he got out of the car, a spiritual sense washed over him.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Well, it won't be easy but whatever."
Hao Ren reached the cafe, and getting in he found Stephanie sitting next to an old man who was talking with her very warmly, a burly young man was standing behind the old man, exuding a cold aura. The young man walked over calmly and then sat across the old man. The two people were shocked, and the young man was reached over, when Hao Ren raised his gaze and made him freeze in his place.
Stephanie stood up and said, "Chief, this is Master Hao."
Hao Ren nodded, and looking at the old man he said, "It seems to me that you have already consumed the regeneration pill before coming here. You should run your spiritual cultivation sutra a few times to absorb as much vitality from it as possible."
The old man nodded and closed his eyes, as he began to run the spiritual energy. Hao Ren let go of the young man and then while leaning back in his chair, he said, "Hmmm, the sutra is somewhat defective."
He stood up, approached the old man and poked his finger in a few spots on the chest and said, "Follow this new path, it will help you."
The young man was shocked, when he saw this, and he said, "How can you change the path of spiritual energy based on a whim?"
Hao Ren replied very calmly, "When you reach my level, you will know."
After a few minutes, the old man opened his eyes and he said, "Thank you, I will remember this favor."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "I want you to return this favor. I will trade in the information that you need to produce at least two nascent soul warriors within the next ten years in return for Bai Yulong's life."
The old man was shocked, he did not expect this young man to talk . Hao Ren said, "I am not asking for anything too exuberant. Bai Yulong is harming my interest and he is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. He can turn the entire country if he wishes to, but he is holding back because of his flimsy foundation. So, take these two warriors as an insurance chip."
This offer was too much to comprehend, and Hao Ren sighed, he looked at the young man and said, "Come here."
The old man nodded and Xiao Tei walked closer to Hao Ren. The young man took out a pill bottle, and he said, "There are ten pills in this. Consume one pill a day and spend ten days in seclusion, you will reach foundation establishment, and your foundation will be flawless as well."
Xiao Tei was shocked, and Hao Ren took out a piece of paper, before handing it to the old man, he said, "The pill recipe for foundation establishing pill. The military can use it. This is the biggest lottery that you and those old leaders can win. I am only doing this because I do not wish to cause any turmoil in the nation, but if you old fellows cannot make up your mind, I will deal with things on my own."
The old man stood up, bowed to Hao Ren and said, "I am thankful to you. I will give you an answer by the evening." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Stephanie will be the mediator, she has good talent, knows what to say and what not to say. She has reached the threshold of Body refinement, I suggest you nurture her well. She would be better than that middle-aged wanna be you sent to talk on the airport."
That said, Hao Ren stood up and left the cafe. As he walked out of the door, the old man let out a breath. His back was covered in cold sweat and he said, "What a fucking personality."
