Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 21: Demanding an Explanation

Wanmin Trading Company.

As one of the largest trading companies in Lin'an County.

They have a presence in every aspect of the lives of the county's people.

But when it comes to making money, they are still inferior to Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

In this world, hiring powerful martial artists to escort goods costs a significant amount of money.

And compared to the other three major trading companies in Lin'an County, Wanmin Trading Company is still below them, and there is even one that is stable above them.

Jiang Yuan and his two companions had just arrived at the entrance of the trading company when they were immediately stopped by the guards.

"Who goes there?"

"Uncle Ma."

"Yes, young master!"

Old Ma smiled and took a step forward.

His fists instantly landed on their chests.

Bang!

The two guards were sent flying and fell heavily in the courtyard.

Jiang Yuan then stepped over the entrance of Wanmin Trading Company.

"Tell Jia Wandao that I want to have a word with him. He has half an hour to appear in front of me. I'll be waiting for him in the company's hall. If he doesn't come, he'll bear the consequences."

"Are you Jiang Yuan from Zhenyuan Escort Agency?" a timid person in the corner asked.

"Yes, that's me!"

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he walked straight towards the company's hall.

Upon hearing these words, the guards who had intended to step forward immediately retreated.

They had also heard about the recent events in Lin'an City.

Although Jiang Zhenyuan had passed away, Zhenyuan Escort Agency still had several skilled individuals.

There was Ma Shizhong, a sixth-level Body Tempering Realm cultivator, and Gu Mo, a seventh-level Body Tempering Realm cultivator.

Just these two alone could hold their own in Lin'an City.

They were only ordinary guards, skilled at dealing with ruffians and troublemakers.

But dealing with someone like Jiang Yuan?

Sorry! A monthly salary of three taels of silver was not worth risking their lives for.

Dealing with someone like him required the intervention of higher powers.

As Jiang Yuan and his two companions entered the hall, the people in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, a middle-aged man with two long mustaches turned to the servant next to him and said, "Go and inform Master Jia, and also inform Lin, the guardian of the company. We have a formidable enemy at our doorstep!"

"Yes, Master Zhao!"

At the same time.

Inside the company's hall.

A maid tremblingly served tea to Jiang Yuan.

She held the tea high and said, "Young master, please have some tea!"

Jiang Yuan took the tea and took a sip. "Why are you so scared? Am I that terrifying?"

The maid secretly glanced at Jiang Yuan.

In a soft and sweet voice, she said, "Young master, you are very handsome, not scary at all!"

As she spoke, her legs instantly stopped trembling.

Jiang Yuan smiled. "That's good! No need to be afraid, I won't eat you!"

"You may leave now!"

"Yes, young master!"

The maid curtsied gracefully and then walked out of the hall with small steps.

At the same time, on the other side.

"Master! Master! Something bad has happened. People from Zhenyuan Escort Agency suddenly arrived, and they don't look friendly."

"Zhenyuan Escort Agency?" Jia Wandao immediately stood up. "Who is leading them?"

"Jiang Yuan, Jiang Zhenyuan's son! He also said he wants to have a word with you. You have half an hour to appear in front of him. If not, you'll bear the consequences."

Upon hearing this, the old man sitting across from Jia Wandao became furious.

"What an arrogant kid, daring to speak so arrogantly! Don't worry about him, with me here, I want to see what he can do to you!"

However, Jia Wandao furrowed his brows. He remembered the day when he had appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

The infinite fear in his heart seemed like it could face death at any moment.

This strange premonition had saved him countless times before.

He couldn't afford to ignore it, if his premonition was correct.

If he dared to delay Jiang Yuan for even a moment, he would surely die on the spot.

And the threat most likely came from Jiang Yuan himself.

Thinking of this, he spoke up, "Great Elder, let's go and see! I want to see what his intentions are!"

He continued slowly, "Great Elder, have you forgotten about last night? Li Hao is now missing, but they are unharmed!"

The old man immediately sneered, "Given the situation last night, it must have been the county lord who sent experts to infiltrate the Zhenyuan Escort Agency."

"Brother Jia, surely you don't think that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency has the strength to push Li Hao to such a state?"

"I know Li Hao's strength better than you. He is still at his peak, with no decline in his qi and blood. He is much stronger than me. Who in the Zhenyuan Escort Agency can be his match now?"

Jia Wan nodded in agreement.

But thinking of the endless sense of crisis that day, he still felt a bit heavy in his heart. He couldn't just ignore Jiang Yuan's words.

Then he said, "Although that's the case, we still need to go and see the situation. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester."

"Then you go! I don't want to go with my bad temper! I'm afraid that if I go, I won't be able to resist slapping him to death. When Li Hong comes looking for me, I won't be able to bear his anger."

On the other side.

After a moment.

A man with a full beard walked in through the gate.

"Ma Shizhong, what are you doing at my Wanmin Trading Company?"

"You'll have to ask my young master about that!"

He frowned and looked at Jiang Yuan, "Jiang Dashao, this is not the place for you to act recklessly. Do you think it's still the time when your father was here? If you know what's good for you, go back obediently! I won't make a big deal out of it!"

Jiang Yuan placed the teacup in his hand on the table.

With a loud bang.

Gu Mo made his move in an instant, the scabbard of his sword aimed directly at the bearded man's chest.

So fast!

The bearded man's pupils contracted, immediately wanting to retreat.

But in the next moment, he felt a heavy blow from Gu Mo's scabbard on his Tanzhong acupoint.

His body instantly flew backwards, heavily landing outside the hall.

"Pu--"

He immediately covered his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

With a face full of shock, he looked at Gu Mo, "Impossible! We are both at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm, how can you be so strong?"

Gu Mo said indifferently, "If you dare to disrespect my young master again, I will kill you!"

The bearded man's face turned green and red in an instant, both angry and in pain.

He knew that, if it weren't for Gu Mo's lack of killing intent just now, he would have been pierced through the chest by now, with no chance of survival.

But he couldn't bear losing face. He was a respected senior in the martial world, being scolded like this by a junior, and he didn't dare to argue back.

He was afraid that if he said too much, Gu Mo would strike him with his sword.

Then he would die in vain!

Just then, Jia Wan's voice came, "Sun Elder, what happened to you?"

Jia Wan hurried over to help the bearded man up.

"It's nothing. Leave this matter to Brother Jia to handle. I'll go back and heal first."

Seeing Sun Elder hurriedly leaving, Jia Wan's heart sank. He slowly stepped through the gate.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan sat calmly on the mahogany pear blossom chair.

When Jia Wan stepped through the gate, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.

Even though he had the strength of the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm, it didn't bring him any sense of security at this moment.

He felt waves of coldness rising in his heart, a strong sense of crisis enveloping him.

His whole body was sending him a signal.

Run!

The farther, the better!

But he didn't dare!

He knew that if his feelings were correct, running would only lead to death.
