Chapter 382.2 (1/2)

The Second Step of Intent Realm

Cao Kang contemplated internally but he could not find any reason as to why Ning Fan would cough out blood.

Anyways, since he had taken Ning Fan’s money, it was impossible for him not to feel responsible for the latter’s safety.

“Are you the one who brewed this wine?! Explain! Why did my friend cough out blood after drinking your wine?!”

Cao Kang’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the owner of the wine stall. His expression looked rather imposing even though he did not reveal his anger. The stall owner was a young teen who was only a Third Level of Vein Opening Realm cultivator and looked poor and weak when faced with Cao Kang’s question.

From Cao Kang’s perspective, asking the stall owner directly was the most straightforward method to find out why Ning Fan coughed out blood.

Besides, the stall owner was just a Third Level of Vein Opening Realm cultivator whereas he, Cao Kang, was a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator. In front of him, how can the teenager be bold enough to lie?!

The young teen’s face turned pale as he was being questioned by Cao Kang. His techniques in brewing spiritual wine were indeed inadequate. Strictly speaking, this batch of spiritual wine was not even considered first level spiritual wines. Naturally, there weren’t any excellent wines among them.

However, although the wine he brewed were not of excellent quality, they were at least perfectly safe to drink. It was impossible for anyone to cough out blood after drinking his wine!

When he heard Cao Kang’s domineering tone, the young boy knew that this matter was probably going to be a big deal if he could not give him a satisfying answer.

Just like Cao Kang said, the one who coughed out blood was his friend! How could the young boy who was just a Vein Opening Realm disciple offend a Harmonious Spirit Realm expert’s friend?!

“D-Deacon Cao. This junior really does not know why this brother puked blood. However, this junior is willing to compensate…”

“Fine! Compensate him! If you can compensate him well, my friend and I will not look into this matter!” Cao Kang glanced over his shoulders. Ning Fan had already wiped off the bloodstains on his mouth and stood there deep in thought.

After seeing that Ning Fan was still in good condition, Cao Kang felt a sense of relief. He did not want to make this matter a big deal. Good or bad, he was also a member of the Green Bamboo Palace. Even though he had an excuse to reprimand the brewer and ask him to compensate them as a wine of his own sect had caused someone to puke out blood, he felt it unnecessary to really teach this disciple a lesson.

“Yes! This junior is willing to compensate t-ten immortal jade…”

The teenage youth was terrified. Cao Kang, a dignified Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator, was an external deacon of the Green Bamboo Palace who was in charge of new disciples like him.

He was very afraid of offending Cao Kang. Therefore, he certainly was willing to buy peace with some money. However, the problem was that the amount he offered to compensate was somewhat less than everyone’s expectations.

“Ten immortal jade?”

Cao Kang chuckled in anger.

He had already given this young boy a chance to make amends but he did not expect that the latter would be so insensible.

His wine had caused Ning Fan to puke out blood and he only offered to compensate ten immortal jade?!

Who was Ning Fan? Even though he was just a Vein Opening Realm junior, he possessed a massive amount of immortal jade. Would he even care about the young teen’s ten immortal jade since he could give away one thousand immortal jade as he pleased?

“One hundred immortal jade!” Cao Kang’s tone turned cold this time.

“I-I can’t! One hundred immortal jade is all the money that I have…” The teenage youth begged.

“Humph!”

Anger rose within Cao Kang. He was not going to go easy on the young boy anymore. Since the latter showed no sincerity in his compensation even after he had given him the opportunity, he felt that there was no harm in extorting him.

Well, it was appropriate to help someone eliminate disasters after taking the person’s money. Moreover, he had taken one thousand immortal jade from Ning Fan.

“You, come here! You will compensate as much as the blood he had puked out!” Cao Kang rolled his sleeves up, preparing to beat someone up. This act scared the young boy.
