Chapter 981: The Influence of a Young Master (1/1)
The Fish and Dragon District was a quag Chen had no desire to stay there for long, nor did he want to bring a group of pretty girls there in any capacity Thankfully, a man of his current station was unlikely to encounter any problems The last time he’d come here, he’d been accompanied by Wei Jie Despite that, he hadn’t been taken very seriously by most of the people they’d come across Back then, House Wei had still been a typical ninth-rank house on the brink of destitution It was the very definition of insignificant This ti anyone notable with him on his revisit Both Wei Jie and Ji San were as busy as he for the next short while, having tothe Veluriyaht mind would waste the three days of prep time allotted to theiven Jiang Chen’s current prominence in Veluriyam Capital, there was no one here that would dare lay a hand on hi ire of Emperor Shura’s faction could not manifest itself either Emperor Peafowl’s perceptiveness knew no bounds Who knew if he atching in secret? Anyone who sche lord of Sacred Peafowl Mountain risked beingChen also had no interest in stirring up trouble A few attendants in tow, he caon District
However, after weathering the Veluriya no longer He was the idol of the town! As soon as he arrived in the district, he was recognized by huge swathes of people All of thereet him Even the most unruly of ruffians acted with modest and humility in front of him Evidently, it wasn’t his status but his performance that had conquered their hearts Their support of hi lord Zhen, do you still reed fro that could alarments would be par for the course for a woman, but it was a bit over the top for aChen reht hi he did was look for Lin Ming’s store The h, but not particularly enthusiastic He’d given Wei Jie a er to do so Still, he seemedtowards hi lord Zhen, I heard that you beca lord! I surh-quality slaves, so I’ve been turning my pockets inside out recently… I’ed to cobble a reasonable batch of goods together May I invite you toChen’s i was indifferent at best The merchant had been comparatively distant back then, but that was normal It was unreasonable to expect soer On the positive side, he’d gotten a few pieces of pertinent news afterwards fro the merchant’s illness, but the transaction had yielded useful results In particular, the location of Regal Pill Palace’s group of disciples had been a key bit of information That hy he had been able to rescue Shen Trifire, Gouyu, and the others from House Sikou’s Myriad Puppets Pavilion It had only been a fair deal, but the timeliness of the information was not to be denied If he’d been a few days late, it was likely that they would have been sold to the four corners of the world Therefore, Jiang Chen remembered the favor
“Boss Lin, you look like you’re doing well lately” Jiang Chen ser powdering his face The white spots had disappeared That one
Lin Ming’s heart treht of the disease He had been extre’s previous help, he would likely be a corpse by now He had kept a Nether Felidae around as a pet Every ht, countless evil and yin hu’s keen perception, he would have been history in just a short while No matter how much money he possessed, he wouldn’t have been able to spend any of it
Thus, his gratefulness towards Pill King Zhen was heartfelt, and by extension, towards Wei Jie as well After hearing about the pill king’s reradual rise to his present position as Sacred Peafowl Mountain’s young lord, Lin Ming felt extreretted that his attitude hadn’t been the best in the past Why had he waited until they’d struck a bargain before offering the useful piece of news? If he had been just a bit politer in ter the pill king’s powerful thigh, so to speak, and refer to the encounter to others with ease With Pill King Zhen’s support, there was no way he would re lord h and do as he would throughout the entire Fish and Dragon District
House Sikou’s Myriad Puppets Pavilion had only been sponsored by the Majestic Clan Ele layer of difference, but it meant that the Pavilion could never becorow to rival the Majestic Clan, and not beco could have established a direct relationshi+p with Sacred Peafowl Mountain if he had been able to help young lord Zhen Every tiretted his previous actions down to his very intestines He wanted to slap himself in the face a few times He had missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime Fortunately for him, he had another shot at it this time
Ever since he’d received the news about Pill King Zhen beco had wondered ould be the best way to go aboutreparations for his past behavior What would be the ? He instantly thought that because young lord Zhen was e nu into a new residence Froy and every thread of his network to collect a large batch of high-scoring slaves They were all very reliable to boot! He carried out all of this with caution and reliability
After all of this, he waited in front of the Fish and Dragon District entrance for Jiang Chen to appear Lin Ming was fairly s lord Zhen would co the half-week prep tihts His labor had finally been rewarded! He was both excited and anxious
The excite lord Zhen, and the anxiety fro how petty he would be Was the Capital’s new star going to give hi lord truly was a vengeful one, then the tribute he was atteht have entirely the opposite effect It could bring hion District was a pragmatic place If anyone knew of the previous bad blood between hi lord Zhen, they would surely take the opportunity to tor lord was sure to be pleased by that! Lin Ming ise enough to acknowledge this possibility fro lord Zhen was a tolerantlord had both remembered hi’s s as he replied, “It’s all thanks to your help, young lord Zhen I’ve always appreciated it, and I’ve wanted to repay you for a while now…”
Jiang Chen returned the grin “Then, shall we spend a few moments at your place?”
The other shopkeepers felt a tug on their heartstrings at those words Countless gazes of ad nobody could co was so lucky What did the young lord see in hi to butter up the new star Many had redecorated their stores to the point of obsessive perfection Soirls as e lord Zhen If the young lord stepped into their store, business would be much easier for them in the future
How unfortunate that he’d been intercepted by Lin Ming Judging by the expression on his face, they were on fairly good terms too There were sh to ly covetous looks froreat satisfaction Noasn’t the ti Chen and his entourage along with hiroup disappeared at the end of the street, but the crowd persisted still
“Lin Ming doesn’t have a big business or a big store What’s that guy up to, joining in on the ruckus like this? Why’s he trying to char lord, too? What an annoyance”
“That kid’s won the lottery Did he know young lord Zhen fro to have a good life from now on”
“Ah, curses I’ll have to socialize with hi backer…”
Lin Ming was solidly middle-of-the-pack in teron District After today’s events, though, he would likely skyrocket in importance It wasn’t a stretch to say that he would becoest shopkeepers here This was the art of using soe Even the momentary presence of soold That the person in question was on buddy-buddy ter Chen hadn’t considered any of this He couldn’t possibly have iined his few phrases of casual courtesy would cause such a noticeable effect on the Fish and Dragon District Watching the slightly over-excited Lin Ming in front of him both amused him and made him a bit sentimental When he had first co been in the company of Wei Jie This time, innumerable eyes followed hi really did have a large effect on social perception
