AST 1988 - Arrival of the woman from the Shang Clan (1/2)

Qing Shui knew that he wouldn’t need to fight today even if he insisted. When Qing Shui saw Young Master Lang’s hesitation, he stood up and walked toward the hall.

Young Master Lang remained silent, repeatedly clenching and unclenching his fists. After doing so for multiple times, he finally chased after Qing Shui, “Mister Qing, please wait!”

Qing Shui smiled as he turned around, “Could it be that you have made up your mind to battle?”

“No… There is no meaning in fighting. Mister Qing, please give me your guidance.” Young Master Lang bowed and sincerely asked Qing Shui.

Qing Shui wasn’t sure of how he felt about this man. He was ambitious, even pretending to be a spoiled child to further his schemes. As to losing his true nature, it wasn’t surprising given that it’s way too difficult to maintain one’s heart under those circumstances. It wasn’t scary to make mistakes. What’s truly terrifying was repeatedly making mistakes, which could even lead to losing one’s life.

“I can’t help you. Go home and rediscover yourself.” Qing Shui shook his head and said.

Young Master Lang sighed, bowing towards Qing Shui again before leaving forlornly.

Qing Shui didn’t believe that a person could change his or her true nature. At the very least, it wasn’t something that could be changed that easily. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the saying of “it’s easier to change rivers and mountains than to alter a person’s nature”. Though for now, it might seem that Young Master Lang had become humble, it’s just a temporary situation caused by what he was going through. Once he soared once again in the future, it wouldn’t take long for him to reveal his true nature once again. In fact, things might even get worse and he might intensify his effort in doing so.

Qing Shui didn’t want to have anything to do with Lang Clan. Though it’s also an aristocratic clan, Qing Shui didn’t expect for clans like this would be very lively. At least for the time being, he has yet to notice any particular person from Lang Clan who was filled with hope and could carry the entire clan on its back and continue moving forward. Other than that, it was about Clan Head Lang. Qing Shui wasn’t particularly fond of getting familiar with people with Clan Head Lang who had no regards for others.

As for Shang Clan, the most dominant existence across this large city driven by business, for the time being, Qing Shui has yet to have the chance to interact with them. However, ever since he came here, Qing Shui has been doing things his own way. He felt that it wasn’t necessary for him to do so as the forces here were unable to cause him any threat.

As of now, Qing Shui’s main intention was to build up the Imperial Cuisine Hall. After that, his next step would be to establish his own forces and form his own organization. As for the location where this organization would be formed? Qing Shui has decided that it would be in this huge city. It’s just that for now, Qing Shui has yet to think of a name for the organization.

The Battle God Palace!

At one point, Qing Shui had thought about using this name. But if he did so, it wouldn’t take long for him to expose his own identity, causing him to be the target of the true Demon Lord Inheritors. Hence, for a long time, Qing Shui has been hesitant on whether or not he should use it. Another problem was that even after he established his own forces, he couldn’t just stay here for the whole time.

Yin Tong and the others were the compulsory candidates for him to establish his forces. As for his wives, Qing Shui didn’t plan to let them join in for the time being. Of course, if it’s their wish to join in, Qing Shui would welcome them to do so.

For the time being, these were Qing Shui’s only plans. He was also very eager to achieve them. It shouldn’t be long until he could start getting his project undergoing. Hence, Qing Shui was currently at a loss.

Though it might seem like developing his forces would be a very easy task. But when one pursued true forces, it was actually quite a handful thing to do to achieve the kind which Qing Shui desired. After all, it required expert warriors. If it had only required normal warriors, naturally, it wouldn’t be that hard a task to achieve it. Whether or not they would stay loyal was a different story. Unfortunately, warriors of that caliber couldn’t really be any useful to him.

Qing Shui thought about the Sunset Seaking Palace and Dragonwolf Palace which Yiye Jiange and the other girls were in. In the future, they should be able to achieve great things. As for Qing Clan, everything would be fine with Yehuang Guwu there. Moving on to the Lotus Sect, for now, Qing Shui couldn’t predict what would happen to them as he didn’t know whether or not they could move into the Nine Continents World inthe future.

Qing Shui didn’t want to bother them unless they were willing to come of their own accord. For the time being, he was still hesitant on whether or not he should use the name Battle God Palace. Beside, he has also only managed to find very few Battle God Inheritors.

Seeing that he has yet to find a person to even discuss the idea with, he shook his head. For now, his priority would be to build a steady ground for himself across Great Shang City!

Qing Shui decided to concentrate fully on refining his cultivations. In the daytime, he would keep an eye on the Imperial Cuisine Hall. In any case, he could still spend his nighttime cultivating in the realm. He wasn’t short of time. For the time being, he still has another mission. The current Imperial Cuisine Hall was lacking in manpower. Luckily, it has yet to become too well-known around the city.

But it wouldn’t take long until the Imperial Cuisine Hall became prosperous. For the time being, Qing Shui was only focusing on attending to the patient’s illnesses. He has yet to do anything regarding the food business.

After a few days, the Imperial Cuisine Hall has finally got onto the right track. It was slowly building up its reputation, though it’s still insufficient to ensure a steady business, after all, they have recently just opened. Today, a guest came to the Imperial Cuisine Hall. Qing Shui was stunned when he saw that person.

The Barbarian Emperor!
