Chapter 172: Prodigal Son

Chapter 172: Prodigal Son

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I’m old, but I have a bunch of useless descendants behind me!”

Elder Zheng made it clear. He wanted to invest in Zhou Feng in exchange for the safety of his descendants.

After all, they had only met twice. Was it really good to be so direct?

Wasn’t he afraid that Zhou Feng would turn hostile after receiving the benefits?

The last time Zhou Feng encountered such a situation was when he met Qian Shang and his daughter again.

This kind of familiar feeling was really…

“Don’t be anxious. I originally planned to exchange this invitation for Spirit Stones. It’s just that I’m giving it to you now.

“I have high hopes for you, so I’ll invest in you. You don’t need to feel pressured.”

Seeing that Zhou Feng was about to speak, Elder Zheng was the first to speak.

Originally, there were many invitations, and Elder Zheng would make a move every year.

In order to make the atmosphere more lively, the Heavenly Star Gathering would send out more invitations every year.

This could also be considered as giving some vagabond cultivators and talented people an opportunity.

People like Zhou Feng had the qualifications to go to the Heavenly Star Gathering under such conditions.

Elder Zheng was just taking advantage of the situation.

Moreover, Elder Zheng didn’t ask Zhou Feng to do anything, but he could take care of him when he was free and had the ability.

Since Elder Zheng was so direct, Zhou Feng had no reason to reject him.

“Oh, right. Holy Maiden Green Lotus will also be attending this Heavenly Star Gathering. That Holy Maiden is not an easy person to deal with.”

Elder Zheng reminded him to be careful of Holy Maiden Green Lotus. It was best not to come into contact with the people of the Green Lotus Sect if possible.

After all, the Green Lotus fellows were a bunch of madmen, so they were not normal people.

‘Be careful of the Green Lotus Sect?’

Zhou Feng did not know the exact situation of this unfamiliar sect.

However, he thought that he should not have any contact with the Green Lotus Sect.

“Alright then. The information I provided is not free of charge. A total of 100,000 Spirit Stones, thank you!”

After Elder Zheng warned him to be careful of the Green Lotus Sect, he immediately changed the topic.

The speed of this change caught Zhou Feng off guard.

‘A fee? 100,000 Spirit Stones!?

‘This…’

To be honest, just that invitation card alone was worth more than 100,000 Spirit Stones, and there were also so many useful pieces of information attached to it.

It was Elder Zheng’s sudden change that caught him somewhat off guard.

It was obvious that Elder Zheng was a true shrewd person.

Investing in a genius wasn’t just about giving benefits, nor was it a one-sided relationship.

Sometimes, too much kindness was also a disaster.

There was once a time when one family’s kindness to another was too great, so great that it couldn’t be repaid in a few lifetimes.

Thus, the family that received kindness simply killed their benefactor, so there was no need to repay the kindness.

If Elder Zheng only paid the price, then the positions of both sides would be out of balance, and it was extremely easy for disasters to happen.

Elder Zheng was now using the Spirit Stones to balance the positions of both sides.

“Okay!”

Zhou Feng paid the 100,000 Spirit Stones fee readily.

At that moment, his heart was in a state of confusion. He did not expect that the people of this world would be so decisive.

First, it was Qian Shang and his daughter, and then it was Elder Zheng. After meeting him a few times, he was able to make up his mind to invest in him.

Did this count as meeting a nobleman?

Perhaps Qian Shang and his daughter weren’t noblemen, but this Elder Zheng was definitely one.

‘Still, it feels good to be valued!’

When Zhou Feng walked out of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he was in a great mood. After all, being appreciated by others was truly a wonderful feeling.

However, this good mood didn’t last long.

“It’s you! ? How could it be…”

Wang Shu’s smile instantly disappeared and was replaced by shock.

Obviously, Wang Shu was also shocked by Zhou Feng at this time.

Compared to the last time they had met, Zhou Feng was like a prince who had come to Heavenly Star City to take a stroll.

If Wang Shu hadn’t seen Zhou Feng before, he probably wouldn’t have recognized him just now.

‘It’s this person!’

Zhou Feng also recognized Wang Shu. After all, Wang Shu’s silkpants personality had left a deep impression on people.

Wang Shu had sent people to follow him after leaving the gambling den if he remembered correctly.

It was just that he had managed to shake them off at that time.

“What’s wrong, Brother Wang? Is this person your enemy?”

Bai Lie sized up Zhou Feng, his expression becoming a little more serious.

“That’s right! I don’t know where he came from, but he’s a vagabond cultivator! I haven’t seen him for a few days, and he’s actually become such a dog-like person!”

Wang Shu was acting like a silkpants, not even looking directly at Zhou Feng. Even his tone was filled with disdain.

“What? This person is a vagabond cultivator? A mere vagabond cultivator, and he dares to show off in front of this Young Master?”

The originally cautious Bai Lie’s expression changed when he heard Wang Shu’s words.

Bai Lie had thought that Zhou Feng was the Young Master of a noble clan, but he did not expect that he was just a vagabond cultivator.

A vagabond cultivator had such good looks? He was simply courting death!

Bai Lie’s looks were not outstanding, his cultivation aptitude was not very good, and some noble ladies had even ridiculed him, so he was filled with malice toward those handsome men with no background.

On the other hand, he would sing praises toward those handsome men with deep backgrounds.

Coupled with his backing from the Bai Clan, Bai Lie could be considered a very famous profligate son in Heavenly Star City.

‘Is this person sick?’

Zhou Feng suddenly sensed that the person beside Wang Shu was filled with malice toward him, and his heart instantly filled with puzzlement.

He didn’t seem to have done anything, right? Why did this person have such malice toward him?

“You! Do you know who I am?”

Bai Lie walked up to Zhou Feng and displayed his prodigal-son nature.

“It’s that prodigal son of the Bai Clan again?”

“That’s right! It’s that prodigal son of the Bai Clan again!”

“That vagabond cultivator is so unlucky? This madman actually blocked him?”

“…”

Bai Lie’s arrogant voice also attracted several people to gather around and watch.

From the conversations of the surrounding people, one could tell that this Bai Lie could be considered quite famous in this area.

They were all used to Bai Lie’s character. He specialized in bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

In any case, as long as one did not have a background, he would deal with them to the death.

Regardless of how big or small the faction behind them, those with a background were not to be provoked. Sometimes, they would even act as a lackey.

“Bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Which one of you isn’t like this? This is called being sensible!”

The above sentence was Bai Lie’s response to the ridicule of the others.

It had to be said that Bai Lie had lived a straightforward life.

Bai Lie’s life was very comfortable based on the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. There was no pressure on cultivation, and he could bully others from time to time.

Every time he saw those vagabond cultivators who dared to be angry but would not speak up, Bai Lie would feel comfortable all over.

Bai Lie’s existence simply spoke of how great it was to be a good-for-nothing.

“I don’t think you know what you look like! Listen carefully! I am Bai Lie of the Heavenly Star City’s Bai Clan!”

Bai Lie got straight to the point and displayed his backing.

Under such circumstances, when most of the vagabond cultivators heard of the Heavenly Star City’s Bai Clan, they would be shocked.

This was because the Bai Clan was one of the four great clans of Heavenly Star City.. They controlled the entire Heavenly Star City’s spirit pet market.
