Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 858 I’m Here to Ask for a Man

In the villa.

Jin Changgui is smiling. The tea is ready.

“Mr. Xia, I’m quite surprised by your uninvited visit. If I fail to receive you well, please forgive me.”

Xia Shengtang coughs, “You are being too polite.”

“Please take a seat.” Jin Changgui reaches out his hand. When Xia Shengtang sits down, Jin Changgui can’t help sighing, “A scholar who has been away three days should be looked at with new eyes. We haven’t met for too long. You have reached the realm of Grand Master, haven’t you?”

Jin Changgui is at the realm of Master but now that Xia Shengtang sits in front of him, he can feel a rush of pressure, which makes him quite uncomfortable and shocked. Undoubtedly, currently, Xia Shengtang has reached the realm of Grand Master. More dreadfully, he is so young and also a swordsman. Therefore, Jin Changgui feels grateful that the Jin Family only looked on rather than involving the joint action of many cultivation schools and ancient martial arts families in the Western Border Region to assassinate Xia Shengtang. Otherwise, he would make a strong enemy for himself.

“Master Jin, I’m flattered,” Xia Shengtang answers with a smile.

“Ahem.” Jin Changgui seems to be unwilling to continue beating around the bush and then directly says, “Mr. Xia, let’s call a spade a spade. You wouldn’t come here without a reason. This time, what brought you here? If you encounter any trouble in the Western Border Region and need our help, you may say it frankly. After all, our family has still got something in the Western Border Region. We may not able to rally multitudes at our call but it is pretty close. All the cultivators in the Western Border Region have to show us some respect more or less. Besides, our family is backed by the Joyoung Sect...”

Before Jin Changgui finishes talking, Xia Shengtang just interrupts him impatiently.

“Rest assured. I’m here not to make trouble for the Jin Family so don’t rush to show your power to me. If I really want to do something, I can do it and hide until I break through again. In that case, no one can do anything to me.”

Xia Shengtang’s straightforwardness renders Jin Changgui speechless. He has to admit that Xia Shengtang is telling the truth. Since Xia Shengtang can reach the realm of Grand Master, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to continue breaking through. When he breaks through again, even though the Jin Family is backed by the Joyoung Sect, they cannot do anything to him.

Besides, Huaxia is so big. As long as he wants to hide away, he has a lot of hiding places to choose from.

“In this case, I will not talk about that anymore. So, what can I do for you?”

Rather than rush to answer the question, Xia Shengtang picks up the teacup, takes a sip of the tea and puts the teacup down, saying in a composed tone, “What have you been occupied with these days?”

Jin Changgui is too perplexed to follow Xia Shengtang now.

He didn’t expect that Xia Shengtang should be so unhasty and even want to chat with him.

However, given Xia Shengtang’s capability, he has to treat Xia Shengtang seriously.

He might directly scream abuse if it were someone else who acted so. However, faced with Xia Shengtang, he has to answer honestly and chat with Xia Shengtang.

...

“Ahem. Well, I have a stomachache. Is there a toilet nearby?” Gao Ge suddenly covers his belly and asks the man to show him the way ahead.

Admittedly, the young man arranged by Jin Jie is really capable. Maybe he used to be a tour guide. He can even talk about a flower bed for quite a while. He has dawdled for a long time but they haven’t gone really far.

“Oh?” The man didn’t expect that Gao Ge would do that and then hastens to say, “Yes. Mr. Gao, follow me.”

While walking forward, Gao Ge looks at the surroundings.

“Mate, this place is really big!” Gao Ge sighs.

“Haha. Yes.” The young man also laughs and looks quite proud. Those not in the know would think that the manor was built by him.

“Does any theft happen to this big manor?” Gao Ge asks.

“Ahem. Mr. Gao, you must be kidding. In the Western Border Region, there is no thief that silly to break into the Jin Family,” the young man says with a smile.

Gao Ge nods and suddenly asks, “If you catch a thief, where will he be locked up?”

“Well...” The young man suddenly stays alert and looks at Gao Ge in confusion.

“Haha. Don’t be nervous. I was just asking,” Gao Ge says with a smile.

The young man has just sighed with relief when Gao Ge says,

“I was just asking. If you don’t want to tell me,” Gao Ge suddenly stops talking and then seizes the young man’s neck, “I will kill you.”

The young man is perplexed.

He regards himself as a tour guide only!

Besides, Gao Ge’s attitude changes too fast. The young man is too shocked to react!

Gao Ge strikes a punch and smacks the man to the ground. Then, he just places a sword on the young man’s neck before the latter cries out.

“If you dare to cry for help, you will die,” Gao Ge says coldly.

“What... What do you want to do? Do you know where you are?”

Gao Ge laughs, “Now that I’m here, what do you think?”

The young man is speechless.

“Have you caught a cultivator recently?” Gao Ge asks.

“I...”

“Answer me!”

“No, Mr. Gao, we often catch cultivators,” the young man says cautiously.

He has felt pressure and killing Qi from Gao Ge.

Hence, he is sure that Gao Ge dares to kill him right here.

“Yue Xincheng, do you know him?”

The young man shakes his head.

Gao Ge frowns.

“Where do you usually detain the cultivators caught by you?”

“In the dungeon,” the young man answers in a low voice.

“Take me there.”

“Okay.”

Gao Ge suddenly laughs.

“I’m quite surprised that you are being so cooperative. Are you planning to lead me to the place where there are capable cultivators of the Jin Family?”

The young man who is threatened by Gao Ge with a sword is suddenly dumbfounded.

Oh no.

Did he give himself away so quickly?

“Don’t try to play tricks with me. Even if I’m found by the Jin Family, I still have enough time to kill you. However, if you take me there, you can directly go back and report that I run away on my own, which has nothing to do with you,” Gao Ge continues talking.

“Mr. Gao, I’m convinced now. However, you must promise me that if you are caught by the Jin Family, you must insist that you run away and find the dungeon on your own. You can’t...”

“Cut the crap. It does me no good to turn you in. I won’t be spared because of you,” Gao Ge says, “Show me the way.”

...

In the villa.

Xia Shengtang puts down the teacup slowly and looks at Jin Changgui in front of him.

“Master Jin, honestly speaking, I’m here only to ask for a man.”

“A man?” Jin Changgui frowns, “Who?”

“A man you’ve recently caught,” Xia Shengtang answers.

This is part of the plan he has made with Gao Ge.

By estimate, Gao Ge should have found Yue Xincheng now.

If Jin Changgui agrees to let go of Yue Xincheng, they can save a lot of trouble.

If he doesn’t...

They can do it the hard way.
