Chapter 219: Then Let Them Wait 2

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The higher-ups of the Myriad Commerce Association naturally knew about Shi Zihan’s matter.

Therefore, when Master Cihang said this, her identity was very obvious.

“Now that you already know, let my person go.” Master Cihang had forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart. However, she did not draw her sword and start a fight.

Although these hidden sects were arrogant, they were not brainless.

There was still room for discussion. If they really drew their swords at each other, there would really be now turning back.

“Madam, this matter needs to be decided by our President. We don’t have the right to make the decision. Why don’t you enter and wait for a while?”

Facing the aggressive Master Cihang, the Martial Lord remained stoic.

Hearing the other party’s words, Master Cihang thought for a moment and finally decided to enter first.

After all, if she really wanted to snatch her person away, she wouldn’t have come so openly. Instead, she would have secretly taken her away.

“Please.” Seeing the other party nod in agreement, the Martial Lord could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

If they really fought, he suspected that even if he and another colleague joined forces, they would not be a match for this woman. The other party was very likely to be like the group of Half-King Realm elders of the Ji Clan – an existence who had comprehended the embryonic form of laws and was only a step away from transcending the King Realm Tribulation to become a Martial King.

However, if they really fought, the Martial Lord would not panic. Although they could not defeat her, there was still a stabilizing force in the commerce association!

However, unless it was a critical moment, the two of them did not want to alarm Ji Ming, who was in seclusion. Otherwise, they would definitely be scolded.

‘Why hasn’t the president replied yet?!’ The message he sent was completely ignored.

After thinking about it, the Martial Lord sent a message to the Martial Grandmaster who was secretly following Ji Ruoyan.

At this moment, the Martial Grandmaster had also entered the martial arts academy and was guarding in the dark. He could not help but feel a headache when he saw the message on the communication jade talisman.

Why did the people from Cihang Sword Pavilion come at this time? Did they have something against him?

When he thought about how he would have to disturb Miss and Sir Su’s private time, the guard Martial Grandmaster could not help but tremble.

However, he still had to report this matter. If something went wrong because he didn’t report it, he would be the one to take the blame.

At the thought of this, the guard Martial Grandmaster could only put on a bitter expression. In a flash, he disappeared on the spot and rushed towards the library.

“Miss, there’s a situation at the commerce association. Someone from Cihang Sword Pavilion has come.” The guard Martial Grandmaster carefully approached Ji Ruoyan and hurriedly reported the situation.

Ji Ruoyan was originally supporting her chin with both hands as she watched Su Yu read. She was also jolted back to her senses by the voice of the Martial Grandmaster.

Upon hearing that, Ji Ruoyan frowned.

“Got it. Make them wait. If it doesn’t work, have attendant Li call the elders.” Ji Ruoyan did not want to return now. Therefore, she decided to throw the matter into somebody else’s hand.

“Yes.” Upon hearing this, the Martial Grandmaster turned around and left.

As Su Yu was reading, he also heard what the guard Martial Grandmaster had said. He had no objections to Ji Ruoyan’s decision.

It was not a big deal that a mere Cihang Sword Pavilion came. It was not necessary for Su Yu to go over to meet them as soon as they arrived.

After the Martial Grandmaster left the library, he finally relaxed. He did not even dare to breathe loudly when he stood beside Eldest Miss and Sir Su. One could imagine how much pressure he had been under just now.

“Miss said to let them wait. If it doesn’t work, call Elder Ji Ming out.” After sending back the message, the guard Martial Grandmaster, continued to stand in the forest outside to admire the birds.

It felt good to leave this kind of matters to others.

As for the Martial Lord who had already arranged for the people from Cihang Sword Pavilion to wait in the VIP room of the Myriad Commerce Association, his face turned green when he saw the reply on the communication jade talisman.

“Everyone, our President is busy with other matters. It’s not convenient for her to rush back now. I’ll go invite someone else who is also in charge. Please wait a moment.”

Seeing the group of women staring at him, the Martial Lord spoke without changing his expression.

Master Cihang did not stop him. After all, they were in someone else’s territory, so she had to give him some face.

Soon, the Martial Lord left the VIP room and headed straight for Ji Ming’s secret chamber.

After knocking on the door, the Martial Lord waited outside obediently.

Ji Ming, who was in seclusion to comprehend the rules of water, was also awakened from his seclusion.

After casually removing the seal on the secret chamber, Ji Ming frowned and walked out of his seclusion.

“What happened?” Ji Ming asked coldly as he looked at the Martial Lord outside the door.

“Elder, some people from Cihang Sword Pavilion has come. Miss is with Sir Su, so she asked you to attend to the matters first.”

Faced with the Martial King’s pressure coming from Ji Ming, the Martial Lord’s forehead was sweating.

‘This lass is using me as a tool!’ Ji Ming’s grave expression instantly changed when he heard who Ji Ruoyan was with.

This was what it meant to treat people accordingly.

If Ji Ruoyan wasn’t with Su Yu, she would definitely have been scolded when she returned.

“Lead the way! I want to see how capable this Cihang Sword Pavilion is.”

Ji Ming had a smile on his face as he spoke casually.

‘Didn’t they say that women are fickle creatures? When did men also become so fickle? Seeing the change in Elder Ji Ming’s expression in just a few seconds, the Martial Lord couldn’t help but feel a little miserable.

Under the lead of the Martial Lord, Ji Ming soon arrived at the VIP room of the Myriad Commerce Association.

The moment Ji Ming entered the VIP room, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Because Ji Ming did not hide his kingly aura, Master Cihang – who had the strength of a half-king – naturally could tell at a glance that Ji Ming was a full-fledged King.

At this moment, Ji Ming’s attention was not on Master Cihang. Instead, it was on a fair and beautiful woman from the Cihang Sword Pavilion.

“I didn’t expect there to be a fellow Daoist here. I apologize for my disrespect.”

Ji Ming’s expression was no longer as relaxed as before. This was because there was also a Martial King Realm existence within this group of people.

“I wonder if you can be considerate of me and release my grand-disciple.” Seeing that the other party had seen through her, the Martial King Realm expert of Cihang Sword Pavilion could not be bothered to continue pretending.

“Fellow Cultivator, 1 can’t make the decision on this matter. I need to hear the opinion of a certain young cultivator.” Ji Ming revealed a difficult expression when he spoke, despite the fact that the other party had sent a King Realm existence.

However, when he thought of how terrifying Su Yu was, Ji Ming directly rejected her request.

For the sake of a Cihang Sword Pavilion that might not even be comparable to the Ji Clan, rashly offending a Sage-level prodigy like Su Yu was not worth it no matter how one looked at it.

As soon as Ji Ming said this, the atmosphere in the VIP room instantly turned cold.

The Martial Lord who was waiting at the side could not help but rejoice.

‘Damn it, these women are so sinister They actually hid a Martial King within their ranks. Fortunately, 1 called Elder Ji Ming over. Otherwise, if a fight really did break out, 1 would have been reduced to a hostage:

“Where is that young cultivator?” After Ji Ming’s rejection, Shi Feichan did not directly fall out with him.historical

An existence that could become a Martial King naturally wouldn’t directly start a fight just because of a single word. From Ji Ming’s words just now, it was already very obvious that there was another person involved in this matter. He couldn’t make a decision.

A young man that was worthy of being befriended by a King’s Realm expert of the same generation as her definitely possessed an extraordinary background. Moreover, it was sufficient to make the forces behind him retreat slightly.

Otherwise, why would a Martial King give him a time of the day?
