Chapter 88

Young Master Li, The Liar

Zhang Jinbao frowned, displeased. “No way! Don't let any of our Martial Uncles hear about this, they'll whip you!”

Chengfeng had a natural talent of instantly forming close connections. “I'm just joking, Senior Brother Dabao! I wouldn't even dare breathe if I b.u.mped into any of those strict-looking Martial Uncles!”

Zhang Jinbao looked delighted once again. “Yeah! But we have many rules in the Spiritual Mountain Sect, especially within Cangjin Court. You've got to be careful. If you break the rules and don't have any of the Martial Uncles to protect you, you'll be kicked off the mountain.”

Li Chengfeng felt a chill and his smile vanished. “I've got a lot to learn!”

Zhang Jinbao really liked Chengfeng a lot, patiently explaining all the rules of Spiritual Mountain Sect and Cangjin Court. Chengfeng quietly memorised them all.

When they were almost to the s.h.i.+ny golden palace, he could not help but ask, “Senior Dabao, may I ask, do you even have the time to cultivate if you're busy with your business?”

Zhang Jinbao laughed bitterly and touched his round belly with a sigh. “I'm just not meant for cultivation, unfortunately!”

Chengfeng's chest tightened and forced a smile. “What do you mean?”

“I've been a fat ball since I was born. Do you know how heavy I was as a newborn? Ten kilogrammes! Ten!”

Chengfeng drew a sharp breath. “Are you human?”

Zhang Jinbao's face darkened as Su Yuehan snickered.

“I'm so fat but I've been like this since I was born so can you blame me? And I'm the only son of the family. My father hoped for me to be a famous cultivator and did his very best to send me into Cangjin Court. Sigh, and that was after paying twenty years' worth of offerings. But has he ever thought about what his son wants?”

Li Chengfeng looked at him with pity. When he arrived in his world, he suffocated under the immense pressure Madam Xie had put on him. He had the hope of ten generations resting on his shoulders.

He understood the pain.

“Everyone has different talents, don't worry about it. Plus I just arrived, I need to learn from you, Senior Brother.”

Zhang Jinbao laughed and slapped his chest. “Alright, from now on, when you buy from me I'll give you a discount of thirty… uh, twenty… uh, ten percent discount!”

What? Are you serious?

This guy is even more of a cheapskate than me!

Li Chengfeng's eyes widened and could not believe his ears. All those compliments for nothing?!

His eye twitched but he forced a smile. “Great! You've got to look out for me!”

Zhang Jinbao grinned. “Don't worry about it. I may not be good at cultivation but I am great at business! Everyone in the sect will surely give me face!”

He had just finished speaking when a senior brother nearby with three yellow stripes on his sleeve yelled over, “Dabao, send me 1.5kg of Ziwu incense and 2 taels of Thousand Fragrant Gra.s.s later. Don't you dare short change me or I'll beat you up!”

Zhang Jinbao turned around immediately and said subserviently, “Eheh, alright! I'll definitely bring them over!”

Chengfeng was speechless. What happened to giving you face?!

Zhang Jinbao took out a small notebook and a pen from his sleeve to note it down. Chengfeng took a peek to see it densely filled with notes like that.

When he finished noting it down, Jinbao smiled. “Friendliness brings you business!”

Chengfeng held back his laughter and nodded. “Your business looks like it's doing well.”

Even Zhang Jinbao felt like he had to eat his words. “That guy from just now is usually very fierce, it's best you don't provoke him.”

He had just finished when three pretty Cangxiu cultivators walked out of the Cangjin Court's entrance. Next to them was a haughty Cangjin Court senior brother. All four of them were chatting away happily when the senior brother saw Jinbao and yelled sternly, “Dabao, why hasn't the stuff you promised me arrived yet?”

Zhang Jinbao smiled apologetically, “Tomorrow! It'll arrive tomorrow for sure!”

The senior brother raged, “You said the same thing yesterday, now you say it'll arrive tomorrow? I don't want it anymore, I demand a refund!”
