Silence!
The bustling shopping mall fell silent in an instant.
Are you for real?
Did I hear wrongly?
Not only did this fellow order someone to smash Lord Ling's stone lion, he even dared to curse his entire family?
He sure is gutsy...
On the other hand, Sun Qiang staggered and nearly ran away.
Old master, are you a master teacher, or are you here to prank me?
Since Lord Ling doesn't know you, you can just turn around and leave. My family and Xiaoke are still alive in Tianxuan Royal City...
"What did you say?"
Ling Tianyu was already suppressing his anger, but upon hearing the other party's words, he nearly exploded.
We don't know each other, but you dared to curse my entire family. This is no longer a provocation, but a blatant insult and humiliation!
"Oh? Since you don't understand, I'll put it in another way. Is your family members healthy? "Seeing that the other party was on the verge of exploding, Zhang Xuan's expression remained impassive.
"You don't have to worry about my family members' health!" Ling Tianyu's eyes flashed like lightning, ready to explode at any moment.
"You don't have to worry about my family members? I thought that saving a life is better than building a seven-floor pagoda. Since you don't need it, forget it! "
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"You... What do you mean?"
"Nothing much!" Zhang Xuan gulped down the tea in a single gulp. "Southern Green Jade is a good item. Not only is it beautiful, if one wears it all year round, it can promote blood circulation, soothe one's meridians, and improve one's health. However... Southern Blood Jade is different."
"This item is able to absorb a person's essence and nourish it, allowing it to evolve into a jade spirit. Your cultivation has reached Fighter 7-dan Tongxuan realm primary stage. With your powerful zhenqi and powerful physical body, you aren't afraid of the negative effects of the blood jade. However, it seems like your family members aren't able to withstand it. If I'm not wrong, by coming into contact with the blood jade every day, the aura within should have spread to your family members. Someone must have fallen ill and is on the verge of death. "
"Alright, Xiao Qiang, let's go!"
After which, Zhang Xuan put down his cup, tidied up his sleeves and stood up. Ignoring the other party, he placed his hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the shopping mall.
Sun Qiang glanced around as he walked, afraid that the others would rush over and beat him up.
"Mister, please wait..."
Just when everyone thought that Ling Tianyu would definitely keep this arrogant person behind and teach him a lesson, his towering figure trembled slightly and he hurriedly shouted.
Zhang Xuan halted his footsteps.
"Mister, are you saying that … this stone lion is not made of Southern Green Jade, but … Southern Blood Jade? Yu Rou … Yu Rou's illness, is because of this? "
Ling Tianyu's face turned pale. He no longer had the composure he had before and couldn't help but ask.
Others knew that he was a billionaire, and even high officials and nobles had to be courteous to him. However, only he knew that he had been under a lot of pressure for the past six months and was about to collapse.
Yu Rou was his first wife.
Back then, when he was poor, even if there was only a pancake, this virtuous woman would leave it for him to eat, lying that she had eaten it outside.
Later on, his business grew bigger and bigger, and his cultivation grew higher and higher. However, he knew that if it wasn't for this woman, he would have become a pile of bones in the wilderness that no one would come to pick up.
This was precisely the reason why, despite his wealth, he didn't run amok. Instead, he continued to treat this wife whom he had grown up with.
Who knew that the unexpected would happen. Half a year ago, she suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden, on the verge of dying at any moment.
He sought out all of the physicians in Tianxuan Royal City, and even Master Yuanyu came to treat her personally.
In the end, all of them returned empty-handed, and it was determined that there was no cure for them.
This was especially so for the past few days. She was on the verge of collapsing and could die at any moment.
Previously, he had been guarding by her bedside. Today, he had to attend to some important matters in the merchant shop, so he was feeling frustrated. Upon hearing that the stone lion was destroyed for no reason, he rushed over in a fit of rage, losing the composure of a successful businessman.
He thought that the other party was looking for trouble for no reason, so he didn't expect him to say such words.
To say that his family member was ill …
To say that the stone lion wasn't made of Southern Green Jade but blood jade …
"Your wife should be an ordinary person. Her cultivation shouldn't exceed Fighter 2-dan, right?" Zhang Xuan replied calmly without turning his head.
"You … How did you know that Yu Rou is my wife? Furthermore, how did you know of her cultivation? "
Ling Tianyu was taken aback.
He had only mentioned Yu Rou a moment ago, but the other party said that she was his wife. Furthermore, he even mentioned her cultivation. This judgement was too accurate.
"Southern Blood Jade has the ability to devour one's vitality. Those below Fighter 2-dan are unable to resist it. Once they come into contact with it, their bodily functions will deteriorate swiftly. Their hair will turn white, their skin will loosen, and their speech will become slurred … Their lifespan will not exceed half a year!" Zhang Xuan said calmly.
"This …"
Ling Tianyu's eyes narrowed.
What the other party said was exactly the same as his wife's symptoms.
"I was passing by this area when I saw this object. In order to prevent it from harming anyone, I instructed the butler to destroy it. If Lord Ling finds my actions rash, I'll have someone send the compensation over tomorrow!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands and didn't say anything else. His tone was neither sad nor happy, as though he wasn't angered by the other party's misunderstanding. Instead, he spoke with a slightly melancholic tone, "With Lord Ling's capability, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find my residence. You don't have to worry about me escaping either!"
At this point, he ignored the other party and continued walking forward.
"Old master …"
Seeing that the old master was about to leave after saying a few words, Sun Qiang was taken aback for a moment before hurriedly chasing after him.
"Lord, do you need me to stop them?"
Just as the two of them were about to walk out of sight, the head of the enforcement team walked over.
"There's no need for that!" Ling Tianyu stood rooted to the spot. His face alternated between pale and green.
He was a businessman. Unlike the students and teachers that Zhang Xuan met previously, he was simple-minded and easily trusted others. On the other hand, he had been through countless hardships and was no longer as trusting of others.
Even though the middle-aged man who appeared out of nowhere spoke the truth and shocked him, he didn't rush over to stop him.
After all, he had sought out countless physicians for his wife's illness. As long as one was willing, it was easy for him to find out.
"Get Master Cheng Yuan here!"
Master Cheng Yuan was the appraiser of Tianyu Trading Firm. As a grade-1 appraiser, he was one of the Three Great Appraisers of Tianxuan Kingdom. He was much more formidable than the scammer Yang Mo. He had to personally inspect the artifacts that the trading firm purchased.
Not too long later, Master Cheng Yuan arrived.
"Brother Ling, why are you in such a hurry to get me here?"
As an official appraiser, even Ling Tianyu had to address him as an equal.
"Help me check if this stone lion is made of Southern Green Jade or Blood Jade!"
Ling Tianyu pointed to the shattered stone lion on the ground.
"I have already taken a look at this, it's Southern Green Jade!" Stroking his beard, Master Cheng Yuan chuckled.
Since this object was moved here, he must have appraised it before.
As he spoke, he walked over and lowered his head to look at the shattered stone lion. His eyes narrowed and he retreated, "This … this … how is this possible?"
