20 This Is My Life? (1/2)
Jun looked around a bit and felt like nothing was out of place. His sister came barging through the room.
”Sleepy head wake up its time for breakfast,” Xing Mei shouted while barging into the room.
”I thought dad sent you to Kunming? What are you doing back already?” I asked suspiciously.
”And you got disown and your back somehow,” she snickers teasingly. ”We were suppose to leave but dad called us back when we were on the plane.”
”Oh. What Feng doing right now?” He asks curiously.
”Eating breakfast like usual. Why are you so weird today?” Mei asks.
”Nothing. A lot happened yesterday.”
”What did happen? I called you and you told me you got kicked out but nothing afterwards. When I came back last night you were already sound asleep.”
”I don't remember. Lets go eat. I'm famished. Hahaha.”
After Jun brushes his teeth, and got some clothes on he went downstairs for breakfast. By the time he got to the table normally it just be him alone or with Xing Mei but today his father, and Xing Feng were both at the table.
”Jun what took you so long? Dad and I have been waiting for you for a while now. If you take any longer we're all gonna be late,” Feng reprimanded.
Jun smiled knowingly and not taking it to heart. When he looked over at his father's direction he saw that his father was pretty nonchalant like the day before never happened.
”Jun eat fast. We have a meeting to attend,” Xing Tian said.
”What meeting?” Jun asks a all confused. This was the first time his dad ever brings him to one of his personal meetings.
”Its regarding a deal between the mining corp and our Tian corp. You will come and listen in. If you have any inputs let me know before speaking. These people are all powerful and not to be messed with.”
”Yes dad.”
Once they finish eating breakfast Jun dressed up fancily. Huh? Why am I like this? I don't usually care about stuff like this. Jun thought. This was then pushed to the back of his head when he heard his father called him down.
As he followed his dad out the door and into a car, Jun's mind began to wonder. I thought I was pass the point where I want to please my dad. Even Bu Fan said I broke through the shackles after the argument. Why do I still feel the desire to not disappoint and earn his praises then? Could it be that deep down I have a father complex? … Nah that be weird as hell.
Jun and his father Tian soon arrived at the headquarters of the mining corps. Just like the name suggests the mining corp deals with mining but this mining corp deals with a very a special mine.
Why do I feel like I forgot something? Jun wondered as they went in.
They deal with mining qi ores. Qi ores are ores that absorbed qi from the earn over time. The Mining corp deals with mining those ores.
Why is father here? Jun wonders I didn't know we deal with mining related stuff.
”Dad I didn't know we deal with this stuff,” Jun said telepathically to his dad.
”Its because you been to busy with alchemy that I you don't know. Most of the money we make don't come from pill forging but from qi stone extraction. We change the qi ore into qi crystals. The energy inside would be 10 times purer and also 10 times stronger. Making its value 50 to 100 times the value of an mine ore.”
”Oh. Are we here to get a contract?”
”Yes.”
Ugh Jun moan wincing in pain for a second. He felt like someone gave him a blow to the head by a hammer. Just as fast as the pain came it disappeared.
”You said something?”
”No,” Jun answers as his expression becomes cold the moment he passes through the door.
”Mr. Xing welcome to our Mining corps. The meeting will begin in 10 mins please make yourself at home,” greeted the assistant. His cultivation was at the Heaven's realm which surprised Jun a bit. For an assistant to be a Heaven's realm cultivator the man himself must either be filthy rich or possess immense power. It's mostly the latter.
”No worries. We arrived a bit early,” Xing Tian replied politely. There is no point in offending a man whose assistant is already in the top .001 percent of power within the city.
”Hahaha Mr. Xing is too polite. I'll put in a good word for you,” the assistant replied but this sort of greeting is useless as it all just pleasantry. If being nice gets you what you want then what is the point of power.
Jun just gave a false smile on the side as no one was really paying attention to him.
After a while they got some accommodations and relaxed for a bit as Jun didn't want to waste too much time and sat down to cultivate his soul.
Eh?
Why don't I remember the Enlightened Soul Manual cultivation method? Jun then tried his hardest to remember but it was all useless. It felt like it was sealed alway in the depths of his brain but at the same time at the tips of his brain. It is just like when you can think of the word and even picture it but somehow not able to say it.
As he tried even hard to remember and began operating his King Realm soul to remember it he felt a sharp pain that caused him to wince and fall off his chair.
He began puffing hard and he saw a dragon and a man lording over him.
”Son are you okay?” Tian asks.
”Yeah, I'm find. Just a weird headache. I'll be fine.”
”Good. We will be up soon.”
The meeting began after a few minutes but Jun and his dad wasn't called until last which took around 2 hours. If it wasn't because of his dad he would have left a long time ago.
”Tian corp! Follow me.” Another assistant shouted but his cultivation was in the King's realm a realm below Heaven.
