Chapter 253: Chapter 209: Might Be Deceived

...

After living in this world for a long time, Xu Yue had come to realize that there was no such thing as coincidences, and the visitor who came to see him last night had clearly placed him under surveillance.

I need to hurry, Yan Xiaobao thought with certainty, I need to become stronger. The determination in his eyes shone through. Yan Xiaobao quickly gathered his clothes, washed up, and stepped out into the morning air. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"I’m sure this sky-blue statue is connected to Deng Wu’s cultivation speed," Lan Feng said inside Qi Cave, "We need to talk to both of them. If we don’t, we may be deceived."

"Both of them? How can we talk to a statue?" Yan Xiaobao furrowed his brow and asked. He knew this matter was far from ordinary, but directly conversing with it was something he hadn’t anticipated.

"Don’t trouble your little white-haired brain," Lan Feng laughed, "This is good fortune for us. Truly great fortune. When we catch up with Deng Wu and sit down for our delightful discussion, I’ll explain it to you."

"Brother Hui Yue!" As Hui Yue stepped out of the courtyard, an excited voice rang out. Yan Xiaobao, snapping back to reality, stared blankly at him and turned around, only to find Ma Kong laughing heartily, his usually composed face breaking into joy.

"They’re planning to do it!" Ma Kong said, panting as he leaned forward, hands on his knees to catch his breath. Yan Xiaobao could tell that Ma Kong had run all the way from his own mountain peak to Yan Xiaobao’s residence. Warm air surrounded Yan Xiaobao, dissipating some of the resentment that had surged within him from earlier bruising revelations.

However, knowing that Ma Kong had run all this way just to speak with him left Yan Xiaobao feeling a certain warmth deep inside; he savored that warmth and let go of his worries, at least for now.

"What’s going on?" Yan Xiaobao asked, raising his brows as he looked at the breathless Ma Kong. If he had just been running, he normally wouldn’t be winded—after all, Ma Kong was a cultivator. But clearly, this run had pushed him to his limit, forcing him to sprint the entire distance at full speed.

"I received a response from the elder," Ma Kong grinned, his breath finally steadying. The two of them headed to a nearby buffet restaurant to discuss the matter Ma Kong had mentioned, while sharing breakfast together.

"We had multiple elders spend some time calculating the potential and prerequisites for your insurance concept. They were supposed to announce the results at last night’s family meeting," Ma Kong said, his eyes brimming with excitement. Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but chuckle softly. The perpetually persistent Ma Kong now seemed like a boy his age, thrilled over their handling of the insurance project.

"The math is pretty solid. As long as that unknown expert doesn’t eliminate any more noble family compounds, we should be able to launch and operate within a few years." Ma Kong’s eyes continued to gleam as he looked at Yan Xiaobao. "We need you to visit us and sign a contract, but the elders require a few things."

As soon as Ma Kong mentioned the contract, his excitement immediately subsided, and he began to conduct himself with an air of propriety and dignity. Ma Kong did this unconsciously, and Yan Xiaobao raised his brows. His young friend was excellent at controlling and masking his emotions.

"The contract will give you one-third of the revenue—not one percent but three percent. The reason for this change is because it’s not purely profit. If we tragically fail with this idea, then you’ll also bear one-third of the losses."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaobao suddenly felt a sense of respect for the Black Market Auction House. Yan Xiaobao recognized this as an excellent deal. Yet, it wasn’t until now that he understood the thoroughness of their business and investment practices.

This contract condition was clearly a way to test Yan Xiaobao. If this boy was being used as a means for the Ma family to lose money, then at least he would have to share the financial setback. Meanwhile, if he genuinely provided such a good idea as promised through their calculations, then he truly deserved that three percent.

Ma Kong was clearly uncomfortable imposing such terms on his friend, yet as a member of the Ma family, he understood the importance of ensuring their family maintained growth. After all, the Ma family was trying to expand their presence into other major cities across the Sun Kingdom.

The two boys took a brief break during breakfast but ultimately agreed that Yan Xiaobao would follow Ma Kong to the next day’s forum to sign the contract.

After the agreement was finalized, Yan Xiaobao climbed to the mountain peak where the Dengwu Institute was located.

Knocking on the courtyard door received no response, but Yan Xiaobao didn’t give up. He lingered outside for a few minutes, knocking persistently, knowing that Deng Wu could hear his voice.

While waiting, Yan Xiaobao looked around. When he had started school, this summer was the hottest month, and now another month had passed. During this time, Yan Xiaobao had managed to sell two skills, which provided him with enough money to buy medications to aid him in cultivating into an Eight-star student.

This achievement had been painstakingly built over ten years to raise him to a five-star student ranking. Yet, within just this brief period in the current month, he had now reached the rank of an Eight-star student. His cultivation speed was truly astonishing.

Yan Xiaobao had broken through to the sixth star on his own. Lan Feng had helped him reach the seventh Constant Star, and with the use of pills, Yan Xiaobao ascended to the pinnacle of the Eight-star level.
