C14 Blood Fiend Jade!
Ling Feng left the Jiang family villa and returned to the hospital. Under the effect of the Solid Element Pill, Ling Tian's injuries had healed, but Ling Feng still told his father to rest in the hospital for a few more days.
This incident with his father acted as a wake-up call for Ling Feng. He was painfully reminded that even though he went through rebirth, the Bai family, the Wang family, and the Shangguan family were still there. They could still cause trouble at any time.
"If they can cause problems, I better deal with them as soon as possible."
When he was cultivating in the Immortal World, he learned a principle: weeds much be removed with their roots. The consequence of cutting down weeds but not pulling out their roots would be facing retaliation in the future.
Ling Feng left the ward and headed home. On his way back, he kept on contemplating something. He wondered if he should, one day, just go to Bai Fei and teach him how to be a good person.
"Hmm?"
As Ling Feng was walking along the road, he suddenly felt a trace of spiritual qi. That spiritual qi was strange as it was leaking from something sealed away somewhere.
Ling Feng followed spiritual qi all the way until he arrived in front of a jade artifact store.
"Is that it?"
Ling Feng entered the shop, and at one corner, he could see a red jadeite. Even though the jade piece was overflowing with spiritual qi, its surface was marred with impurities.
"How much is that one?"
Ling Feng pointed at the red jade and asked the salesperson beside him. A female shop assistant in professional attire walked over and informed Ling Feng.
"Sir, that piece of jade is 5,000 yuan."
When the female shop assistant said this, her voice quivered a little. Even the best jade piece in the shop was only about a few tens of thousand yuans. Yet, their boss set such an outlandish price for an inferior-looking jade piece.
Due to its absurd price and perceived low quality, that jade piece had sat in that corner for years. Despite no one buying it, their boss refused to lower the price and said that the jade was waiting for its fated owner.
"Hmm... It's not that expensive; I'll take it! Can I use a card to pay?"
After Ling Feng said that, he took out a bank card and handed it over. Without any hesitation, he had the assistant swipe his card.
"Sir, are you sure you don't want to reconsider? Once an item is sold, you can't return it."
The female shop assistant could not believe what had just happened. Ling Feng just asked the price, and without even asking for more details or requesting to examine the jade personally, he straight-up bought it. Judging from his face and height, he shouldn't even be 20 years old, so how could he buy something so expensive, so easily? Was he a rich second-generation from somewhere?
"I know. Just go ahead and do it."
After the female shop assistant heard Ling Feng's affirmation, she quickly swiped the card for Ling Feng and gave the jade to Ling Feng. At this moment, a few people entered the shop. The group was being led by an old man, and his eyes were stuck at the jade in Ling Feng's hand.
"Young man, can you show me the jade in your hand?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't."
Ling Feng's refusal was out of the old man's expectations. He thought if he asked politely, Ling Feng would happily give him the jade.
"Who do you think you're talking to? If Elder Bai told you to give the jade, who are you to refuse?"
A young man beside the old man cursed when he saw that Ling Feng wasn't giving Elder Bai any face.
"Elder Bai? Are you from the Bai Family?"
Ling Feng asked with a sneer. All this while, he didn't go to the Bai family to find trouble, but here they were, standing right in front of him now. Bai family and Ling Feng were indeed incorrigible enemies.
"That's right! The person standing in front of you is Old Master Bai Yunfei of the Bai family. Be smart and quickly hand over the jade, or else..."
The arrogant young man pointed at Ling Feng and threatened. However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Old Bai.
"Little brother, how about I buy the jade from you? I'll pay you fifty thousand for that. Is that okay with you?"
When the female shop assistant heard this, she was stunned. She did not expect that this low-grade red jade would jump ten times in price right after being sold. Looking at the elder's impatience, one could deduce that the jade must be even more precious.
"I'm not selling,"
Ling Feng said with a cold face. Then, he turned around to look at the female shop assistant, and his face went back to normal.
"Beauty, you still haven't returned my card."
