Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

”I, Su Qingfeng, no longer want this Divine Return Tower.”

Su Qingfeng licked his lips. He didn’t care about his own Qi Blood, but the Heiye was Su Yue’s spoil of war; he simply had no right to dispose of it. If it was sold, the military merits would have nothing to do with Su Yue.

That was the glory his son had earned after narrowly escaping death, his lifelong pride. He would not allow himself to sell out Su Yue’s glory, even if it meant paying a certain price.

”Prince Qing, please don’t be impulsive.

”Even if the deal falls through, goodwill remains. If you accidentally kill me, or any employee of the Ketone Trust Group, the Grand Marshal who vouched for you back then will be implicated. Let alone the Grand General of the Shenchu Corps, who is also your guarantor.

”Besides, your son wouldn’t want to see Prince Qing slaughtering the innocent.

”As for the transaction, you can still think it over. There’s no rush!”

Though Bai Zhiyong wore a calm expression, his feet discreetly stepped back twice. Despite his confidence, he was still afraid that Prince Qing might go mad. After all, this was a truly ruthless man who would spare no one once provoked.

”Dad, is the Divine Return Tower really that important to you?”

Just as the atmosphere grew tense, Su Yue suddenly approached from a short distance away. He was holding a small Short-Snouted Boar in his hand and carrying various large and small bags on his back. Since the Choice Beast Hide could conceal the aura of items, the others had no idea what was inside the packages.

”Son, you...”

Su Qingfeng paused in surprise. He wondered if Su Yue had overheard the Ketone Trust Group’s threats just now. It was incredibly awkward. Still, he wondered how exactly his son had concealed his presence. It was truly impressive.

Seeing Su Yue, Bai Zhiyong was equally taken aback. Then, flashing a standard fake smile, he cupped his fist in greeting toward Su Yue. ”Hello, Student Su Yue. I have long heard of your formidable reputation. It is truly the fortune of three lifetimes to meet the young hero today.”

”Meeting a successful company boss like you has truly brought this young hero terrible luck. I’ll have to wash my eyes out another day,” Su Yue replied, returning the greeting with utmost seriousness. ”Your lapdog is even more of an eyesore—try not to drag him out to embarrass yourself.”

”You...” Bai Zhiyong’s assistant looked furious. This kid Su Yue was unkempt and looked like a penniless beggar. To think he actually dared to call him a dog!

Bai Zhiyong’s face also stiffened. Su Qingfeng’s son was a bit impolite.

”Shut your foul mouth.

”Everyone sitting here is either a Major General of the Military Department, a titled King expert of the Divine Land, or a world-renowned hero of West Martial. Since when is it a nobody like you’s turn to speak?

”Next time, remember to look in the mirror before you open your mouth. Keep in mind that in front of us, you are nothing but an ant.”

Su Yue glanced at the assistant with utter contempt. He thought the assistant was utterly disgusting just to look at.

”How dare you insult me!” The assistant gnashed his teeth in anger.

”I’ve even cursed out Paragons. What the hell are you?” Su Yue scoffed disdainfully. ”Piss me off, and see if I don’t kill you in the Wetland.”

”Prince Qing, your son is... quite unique!” Bai Zhiyong’s face turned livid. He waved his hand, stopping his assistant from speaking any further.

Given Su Yue’s overbearing attitude, if the assistant said anything else, he would only be bringing further humiliation upon himself. According to the rules of the negotiation table, Su Yue had already gained the upper hand. Of course, this was useless. He couldn’t solve Su Qingfeng’s current predicament at all.

The Major General discreetly gave Su Yue a thumbs-up. It was immensely satisfying.

”Dad, I chopped down some of the Jade Caltrop Bamboo you wanted. It should be enough.

”Oh right, I also found a big rock and chipped off some pieces.”

Then, without another word, Su Yue dumped a large amount of Jade Caltrop Bamboo out of his Beast Selection Pocket. Forty-one stalks. This was already more than half of what Su Qingfeng needed.

All the Martial Artists present looked astonished. No one had expected Su Yue to actually manage to get so much Jade Caltrop Bamboo.

But when Su Yue finally poured out the Star Cleansing Stones, the Jade Caltrop Bamboo beside them seemed incredibly insignificant. Even Su Qingfeng was so shocked he couldn’t breathe.

That’s right. That pile of crushed rocks stacked into a small hill was precisely the Star Cleansing Stones.
