Chapter 414: Chapter 285 Of Course, I Understand

Liu Wentian laughed and said, “The first Ancient Martial Arts Family, of course, I am aware of its significance.”

“So I’m from the Xiang Family, and that doesn’t surprise you?” Xiang Huowu asked, puzzled.

“Where you come from has nothing to do with me. Let’s stick to the matter at hand!” Liu Wentian replied indifferently.

“You!!”

Xiang Huowu was flustered. Did this guy have no fear of the Xiang Family whatsoever? Although she had never thought to use her family’s name to bully others, whenever people realized she was from the Xiang Family, they would all react with shock and fear. Yet this man’s casual response was making her feel defeated.

“What’s wrong with me?” Liu Wentian retorted.

“Nothing! I’ve come today to buy something from you,” Xiang Huowu said irritably.

“Buy what?” Liu Wentian asked, surprised. He couldn’t think of anything valuable he had on him.

“I’m asking you, the martial skill you used to defeat that old man from the Zhou Family the other day, was it the ‘Vajra Indestructible Seal’?” Xiang Huowu inquired.

Realizing what she was after, Liu Wentian smiled and said, “You want to buy my martial skill?”

“Exactly,” Xiang Huowu nodded earnestly.

She had witnessed Liu Wentian’s final move the previous night at the Zhou Family Martial Dojo. It was unusually profound, and in her opinion, it was that very move that secured Liu Wentian’s victory over the old Zhou Family member.

The Zhou Family had become a subsidiary to the Xiang Family, and news of Zhou Yi’s death had already reached the Xiang Family the night before.

Her family, knowing she had been at the scene, called her in for questioning. Having a vivid recollection of Liu Wentian’s final ‘Vajra Indestructible Seal,’ she mentioned it to them.

As a result, her family intended her to negotiate with this man and acquire that martial skill.

Martial skills were vitally important for an Ancient Martial Arts Family, and as the number one Ancient Martial Arts Family in the province, they were not about to let go of a skill Xiang Huowu declared to be exceptionally profound.

After all, as a supreme genius of the Xiang Family and a Half-Step King Martial expert, her judgment was not to be doubted!

Hearing her affirmation, Liu Wentian simply shook his head and said, “Sorry, I’m not planning to sell.”

Xiang Huowu frowned and said, “You should at least hear how much we’re willing to pay before deciding.”

“Alright, go ahead,” Liu Wentian said.

“One billion. Our Xiang Family is willing to pay one billion for your martial skill!” Xiang Huowu declared with proud eyes. It was crucial to understand that one billion was a huge sum, enough to provide a lifetime of luxury for an ordinary person. She believed Liu Wentian wouldn’t refuse.

“Okay, I’ve heard your offer. Now let me repeat myself, I’m not planning to sell,” Liu Wentian said calmly.

“You!!”

Xiang Huowu’s brows furrowed in frustration, feeling as though she was being played with, and her eyes turned icy with impatience, “Do you think the price is too low? How much do you want then? But I advise you not to be too greedy. One billion is already a lot!”

Liu Wentian was also growing irritated by her insistence. He wasn’t in need of money and had no desire to sell his martial skills. Though the martial skill didn’t mean much to him, whether to sell it or not was entirely up to his discretion. The way she talked, it seemed as if his refusal was a sign of greed or some cunning ploy.

“It’s not about the money; it’s about me not wanting to sell!” Liu Wentian’s tone grew more assertive.

Xiang Huowu’s brows furrowed even tighter upon hearing this, then she spoke indifferently, “Do you understand the position our Xiang Family holds within the Ancient Martial World of this province? In this realm, the Xiang Family is akin to ancient emperors; there’s nothing we desire that we cannot obtain.”

“Are you threatening me?” Liu Wentian’s gaze hardened, a killing intent surfacing.

Xiang Huowu shook her head and said, “I’m not threatening you. This isn’t something I can change; it’s the family’s decision. I’m just here to negotiate with you. Ideally, I’d prefer a positive outcome. I too despise forceful transactions. If you really don’t want to sell, I won’t do anything to you, but someone else from the family will surely come for you. You understand, after all, in this world, it’s still the law of the jungle. That’s why I hope you’ll sell the martial skill to us, so we can all be happy.”

Listening to her words, Liu Wentian’s killing intent faded. He could tell that the girl genuinely didn’t want to fight with him, and her points were valid – the world revolved around the survival of the fittest. Indeed, this was why he had avoided showing off too much before becoming a King Martial expert.

Now that he had stepped into the realm of King Martial, he had plenty of trump cards to play. The survival of the fittest didn’t mean he saw himself as the weaker side.

“I’ll say it one more time, not for sale. You can leave. If anyone from the Xiang Family wants to come after me, let them come,” Liu Wentian said calmly.

“Don’t you realize how foolish your decision is? You have no idea how powerful the Xiang Family is. It’s like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly overestimating your abilities!” Xiang Huowu exclaimed angrily. This man was like a stubborn rock in a pit, stinky and hard, impervious to both soft and hard tactics!

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Liu Wentian examining her face intently, a pleased look in his eyes.

Xiang Huowu’s face flushed, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed. This guy had implied earlier that she wasn’t much of a beauty, yet now he was ogling her face as if that had all been an act!

At the same time, she felt a bit smug. He’d been acting so aloof just moments ago, yet it seemed he couldn’t resist falling under her charm after all.

“What are you staring at? Keep looking and I’ll gouge out your eyes!” Xiang Huowu said, her face slightly red and eyes glaring.
