While Ling Xiao was deep in thought, a gentle yet majestic voice suddenly sounded in the box, breaking the original tranquility.
"It turns out that Ling Shaoxia is here. It's really disappointing to welcome him from afar. I hope Ling Shaoxia will pay more attention to you!" There was a bit of surprise and respect in this voice, which made people listen to it involuntarily.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao quickly turned his head and saw a middle-aged man walking steadily not far away. He was wearing a luxurious robe, walking steadily, his face was kind but majestic, and his brows revealed a sense of experience.
Calmness and wisdom in world affairs. His appearance seemed to add a bit of solemnity and extraordinaryness to the entire box.
The middle-aged man's eyes lingered on Ling Xiao for a moment, and then he bowed slightly to show respect. Every move he made seemed so natural and appropriate, as if he had been carefully trained, making people involuntarily feel good about and awe him.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the box became subtle. Everyone's eyes were focused on the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared. Ling Xiao also frowned slightly, secretly speculating on the other person's identity and purpose.
Hearing this, Pang Xiaojuan quickly stood up from her seat, bowed lightly, and said respectfully: "I've met the shopkeeper." There was a hint of nervousness in her voice, and she was obviously surprised by the arrival of this middle-aged man.
.
The middle-aged man, Pang Jun, didn't pay much attention to Pang Xiaojuan's etiquette. He waved his hand casually, as if everything was taken for granted.
Then, he walked towards Lingxiao steadily, but his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the pile of dazzling treasures, and a trace of surprise and greed flashed in his eyes.
He opened his thin lips lightly, with a hint of temptation and provocation in his voice:
"As expected of Mr. Ling, it's really an eye-opener. These treasures are rare to see even in a time-honored brand like our Bada Trading Company. However, I am a little curious as to where these priceless treasures come from.
Where did it come from? Could it be that Ling Shaoxia 'borrowed' the stolen goods from somewhere?"
When Ling Xiao heard this, he frowned slightly and was secretly on guard. He glanced at Pang Jun coldly, with dissatisfaction and disdain in his eyes.
He spoke calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "You are the shopkeeper of this branch, Pang Jun, right? If I say that I got these treasures honestly, you won't believe me. But if these are really stolen goods, you won't believe me.
What are you going to do with it? Are you going to tie me up and bring me to the official, or are you going to just follow the rules of your business and keep these treasures as your own?"
When Pang Jun heard this, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't seem to care about Ling Xiao's sarcasm, but laughed and said:
"Hahaha, it's so refreshing for Young Master Ling to speak quickly! However, according to the rules of our Demon Suppressing Mansion, no matter who is found to be possessing treasures of unknown origin, especially if they are suspected of being stolen goods, they will be investigated and may be arrested.
Confiscated. So, if these things are really Ling Shaoxia's 'windfall', then I'm afraid they will have to stay with us temporarily."
His laughter echoed in the box, with a bit of pride and arrogance, as if he had seen Ling Xiao's helpless appearance.
"If I'm not mistaken, are you deliberately looking for trouble?" Ling Xiao's voice was filled with scrutiny and confusion, and his eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.
He has indeed never had any unpleasant interactions with Bada Trading Company, and he can't help but wonder why this person would target him for no reason. However, in this Zhenmofu City, the situation is complex and ever-changing, and he knows very well that many times, the reasons
It's not important, what's important is how to deal with it.
He quickly adjusted his mentality and put these troubles behind him. Now, he is at the forefront of the storm, being watched by countless pairs of eyes, and he needs to be careful every step he takes.
Weakness will only lead to more bullying and provocation; only toughness can gain a foothold in this world where the strong are respected. Therefore, he decided that no matter what challenges he faced, he must persevere and never back down.
When Pang Jun heard this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. The smile contained both contempt for Ling Xiao and pride that his plan was about to succeed. He finally stopped pretending and showed his true face - a man who would do anything for his own interests, even provocation.
Strong businessman.
"So what?" His words were provocative and threatening, as if he was ready to face the coming storm.
However, Ling Xiao just smiled faintly, and that smile contained endless confidence and calmness. He spoke slowly, and although his voice was soft, it revealed unquestionable majesty: "Then I'm afraid your trading company will suffer, and even
You can't even survive."
Pang Jun's eyes turned sharply to Ling Xiao, and an indifferent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was both contempt and a bit of amusement in the smile. He spoke slowly, with a hint of joking in his voice: "Really? It's so big.
I'm so scared about your tone. I want to see what you can do to me with your mere cultivation."
His words revealed an unquestionable confidence. After all, as a master of the seventh level of Tongtian Realm, he was already considered a strong person in the Demon Suppressing Mansion. Facing the juniors of Divine Soul Realm, he considered himself to have an absolute advantage.
However, just before he finished speaking, there was a sudden and imperceptible fluctuation in the air. Then, a long sword with cold light seemed to appear out of thin air. Its speed was so fast that it exceeded the limit that the naked eye could capture.
, quietly pressed against Pang Jun’s eyebrows.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, all surrounding sounds disappeared, leaving only the almost negligible distance between the sword tip and the skin, and the suffocating sense of oppression.
Pang Jun's face instantly turned pale, and his eyes widened, full of disbelief. He clearly felt that the cold sword energy emanating from the sword was invading his skin, as if even his soul was
All will be frozen.
As a master of the Tongtian Realm, he has quick reactions and extraordinary skills, but at this moment, he seems to be trapped in time, unable to make any reaction at all. This is not only a gap in strength, but also an absolute crushing in speed and skills.
It made him feel unprecedented shock and fear.
When Pang Xiaojuan on the side saw this, her face changed drastically. She quickly stepped forward and gestured with her hands, with a bit of anxiety and pleading in her voice:
"Ling Shaoxia, please think twice before you act! This is not only the shopkeeper of our Bada Commercial Bank branch, but also the son of an important elder in the head office. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous... Don't act impulsively.
!”
Her tone was full of worry and sincerity, trying to use her last effort to calm the storm that was about to break out.
An indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth. That smile seemed to contain endless meaning and calmness. He shook his head gently, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Not my son!"
