169: The Tycoon Comes to the City (Part 2)

Chapter 169: A Rich Man Enters the City (Part 2)

Many people stepped forward to inquire with the Young Miss.

When they learned that the young Scroll Master actually held a special pass from the Association, many were deeply shocked. After the shock, curiosity filled them.

At this moment, Wu Xian, led by the person in charge, had arrived at the Materials Treasury of the Provincial Association Headquarters.

Compared to the deserted state of the Yaoyang City Association Treasury, the Provincial Association Treasury was much livelier.

“According to the Association’s regulations, you only have permission to select items from the outer treasury,” the person in charge reminded him.

Wu Xian nodded understandingly. After all, for him, just the outer treasury was enough to make his eyes dazzle.

After a tour, Wu Xian deeply realized the insignificance of his own financial resources.

He set a small goal: to empty this treasury as soon as possible.

“No, who is this person?” A Scroll Master in his twenties walked over from not far away, looking puzzled. “Isn’t your Association’s treasury off-limits to non-Association Scroll Masters?”

Looking at the badge on Wu Xian’s chest, his eyes could not hide his shock.

Wu Xian looked back curiously. He saw that the man was one or two years younger than Shifu-jie, had a Level 5 Spiritual Power cultivation, and also wore a gold-edged Scroll Master badge with five stars on it. He actually possessed Level 5 Mental Energy, just like Wu Xian.

“Young Master Hu, you don’t know, but this Young Master’s situation is special,” the person in charge explained in a low voice.

“Special? How special?” Young Master Hu became even more puzzled.

The reason he could enter was because his Family had greatly helped the Association in the past, in addition to the friendship between his Elders and the current Provincial Chairman.

The person in charge explained solemnly, which again made Young Master Hu widen his eyes. “He… a special pass? Are you sure there’s no mistake?”

One should know that even with all the great help their Family had provided back then, they still couldn’t obtain that special pass.

This young man in front of him looked even younger than him, yet he could get a special pass?

Is this… reasonable?

“Such an important matter, there naturally won’t be any mistake,” the person in charge secretly smiled bitterly. He, too, was full of questions.

As they spoke, many leaders from the Provincial Association also rushed over after hearing the news. They looked at Wu Xian’s special pass and documents with exclamations of wonder, completely baffled.

It was at this moment that Wu Xian realized that while the special pass was useful, it could also attract many unnecessary troubles.

One of the middle-aged men seemed to be the Vice President, and he immediately called Cui Wenxuan, the Chairman of the Yaoyang City Association, to verify and inquire.

Although he confirmed the authenticity of Wu Xian’s pass, it brought him even greater confusion and curiosity.

He wanted to ask further, but Cui Wenxuan threw out a “confidential” and directly hung up the phone.

This made him even more curious about Wu Xian.

“Um, Junior, can I select Materials now?” Wu Xian asked softly.

“Ah… oh oh… yes, yes,” the middle-aged Vice President came back to his senses in a daze. “Hey, Elder Wu, give this young VIP an eight-fold discount, okay?”

Just like that, under the gaze of a group of people, Wu Xian uncomfortably selected a few high-end Materials he currently needed and settled the payment on the spot with spirit crystals.

It proved that it was not easy for him to leave now.

“Young friend, would you be willing to accompany me to the reception room for a chat?” The middle-aged Vice President’s eyes gleamed slyly, clearly not intending to let Wu Xian leave easily. “To be honest, I, Huang, was also promoted by Old Cui himself.

Just now, Old Cui said on the phone to treat you well, so I, Huang, naturally cannot neglect Young Brother.”

After speaking, he righteously invited Wu Xian to a small, private reception room.

“Old Cui?” Wu Xian was also curious: “Did Chairman Cui work at the Provincial Association before?”

The first time he met Cui Wenxuan, he vaguely felt that Cui Wenxuan was not that simple.

Aside from anything else, just his Level 10 Spiritual Power cultivation and the astonishing, yet restrained, Aura he exuded, did not seem like someone who was merely the Chairman of a small local Association.

It seems that the small Yaoyang City truly hides many talented individuals!

“Young friend doesn’t know?” Vice President Huang chuckled dumbfounded. “That’s right, Old Cui has been transferred for almost thirty years. What brings young friend to the provincial city this time? Perhaps I, Huang, can help young friend.”

“Nothing, just passing by to take a look.” Wu Xian naturally understood the Vice President’s intentions; he clearly wanted to find out about the mysterious contribution behind the special pass.

But since Chairman Cui had kept it confidential, he naturally couldn’t reveal it either.

“Is this young friend’s first time in the provincial city?” Vice President Huang asked with a concerned look, as if asking about his well-being. “How about this, let my daughter show you around the provincial city? That girl just broke up with someone, it’s a good chance for her to change her mood.”

Wu Xian froze instantly.

No—how could he even use a honey trap? Was it really necessary?

And what “my daughter just broke up”? He probably decided on the spot to help his daughter break up, didn’t he?

“No need, no need. Junior just came with Master and will be leaving soon,” Wu Xian quickly declined the kind offer.

“Master?” Vice President Huang’s eyes lit up slightly. “May I ask which Senior’s esteemed Disciple young friend is?”

“My Master is Xue Lingling. She can’t be called a Senior in front of you.”

“Xue Lingling?” Vice President Huang’s eyes flashed again. “That girl who went to the Undead Dojo back then? No wonder she could teach such an excellent Disciple as young friend. So she was a top student from the Undead Dojo.”

Wu Xian smiled awkwardly, then took the opportunity to inquire: “Speaking of which, why did Old Cui go to a small place like Yaoyang City?”

“Old Cui has dedicated his life to solving the problem of distortion and pollution,” Vice President Huang said with a hint of inexplicable reverence in his emotion. “Yaoyang City is undoubtedly a good place to research distortion and pollution.”

Wu Xian suddenly understood. So Chairman Cui had dedicated his life to researching how to solve the problem of distortion and pollution?

No wonder his reaction was so strong when he first learned that tattoo scrolls could suppress the distortion illness.

Just as Wu Xian was pondering how to extricate himself, Vice President Huang had already called his daughter on the spot. “Hello, Lili, isn’t it just a breakup? What’s the big deal? Dad has found you a handsome young man here. He’s an important guest of our Association. Take him around the provincial city properly.

Just come when I tell you to come, don’t talk so much nonsense, hurry up!”

After speaking, without giving his daughter a chance to object, he immediately hung up the phone. Then he looked at Wu Xian cheerfully, “My daughter is already on her way. Oh right, I still don’t know what to call young friend?”

“Wu Xian,” Wu Xian replied stiffly.

“Then I’ll call you Little Wu,” Vice President Huang said with a benevolent expression… On a bustling commercial street in the provincial city.

Huang Lili was snatching up merchandise of a certain star player with a few of her Young Miss friends when she suddenly received a call from her father. A series of baffling words left her completely confused.

“Breakup? What breakup? Could it be that one of my idols had a scandal?”

“Handsome young man? Could it be that Dad helped me get a date with Brother Wang Yuan?”

“Damn it! You’re going to use your daughter to seduce important people again, aren’t you? Is that how a father acts?”

“Hello, hello, hello~ Old geezer! Am I still your biological daughter?”

“He hung up?” Huang Lili fumed, looking at her two Young Miss friends beside her. “I’m so mad, he’s making me do this rotten stuff again!”

The two Young Miss friends covered their mouths and chuckled. They were already used to this situation. “Hehe, is it another Young Master from some Family? Same old rule, bring him out later and let us sisters help you check him out.”

“No, no, I’m not going this time, no matter what.”

Huang Lili was resolute, but when she thought of her pocket money, she suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed.

Is it true that one must achieve economic independence before achieving personal independence?

“Go on~ What if he’s a handsome young man?”

The two Young Miss friends continued to tease…
