Chapter 2223 - 2215: Are You Sure You’re Not an Idiot?

As Huang Xiaolong headed to the headquarters of the Bright Chamber of Commerce, walking along the street of Gujiao City, suddenly behind him, a panic-stricken scream and chaotic sounds erupted.

Alongside the terrified screams came the mingled cries of agony.

The ground resounded with chaos.

Huang Xiaolong turned his head to look, only to see a young man riding a Nameless Divine Beast rushing rapidly towards him, followed by a group of guards, all riding uniform rhinoceros Iron Beasts.

As the young man and his guards charged at high speed, numerous pedestrians failed to dodge in time and were sent flying by the rhinoceros Iron Beasts.

The young man and his guards soon arrived in front of Huang Xiaolong. The people around Huang Xiaolong recoiled in fright, dodging hurriedly, while Huang Xiaolong stood there unyieldingly; the opposing group brushed past him, stirring up a whirlwind that rustled his robes audibly, nearly colliding with him.

Huang Xiaolong furrowed his brows.

"Who is this young man? Is he mad, dare to rampage through Gujiao City with his followers, injuring so many people, isn’t he afraid of Gujiao City’s Law Enforcement Team?" someone exclaimed indignantly.

"You obviously don’t know who he is, let me tell you, he’s the Young Master Qin Shaolong of the Bright Chamber of Commerce, a dragon among men. His father Qin Yuan is not only the Chairman of the Bright Chamber of Commerce but is also rumored to be sworn brothers with Weng Siqi, the Deacon of the Beidou Sword Sect. Do you think the Law Enforcement Team in Gujiao City would dare to apprehend him?" one person shook his head explaining.

"What? He’s Qin Shaolong?! Is he the number one prodigy among the three prodigal talents of our Jinyuan Kingdom?!"

"Indeed, he, along with Zhang Wenyue, the Commandery Princess of the Qian Prince Mansion, and Dong Zeyu, the Young Master of the Prince Long Mansion, are hailed as the three prodigal talents of our Jinyuan Kingdom. His talent surpasses even Zhang Wenyue, Commandery Princess, and Dong Zeyu, Young Master. It’s said that six months later when the Beidou Sword Sect recruits disciples, he is our Jinyuan Kingdom’s strongest hope to be accepted as a disciple!"

"Exactly, with the connection of Weng Siqi from the Beidou Sword Sect, combined with his talent, he is certain to be accepted as a disciple of the Beidou Sword Sect, and once accepted, Weng Siqi will take him in as a direct disciple; that would be like ascending to heaven in a single step!"

The surrounding crowd incessantly discussed.

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.

The Young Master Qin Shaolong of the Bright Chamber of Commerce? Qin Yuan’s son?

Huang Xiaolong coldly chuckled, proceeding towards the headquarters of the Bright Chamber of Commerce.

Meanwhile, as Qin Shaolong rode his mount back to the headquarters of the Bright Chamber of Commerce, his father Qin Yuan was in the great hall, accompanying a silver-haired elder. The elder’s eyes were like swords, and he carried a conspicuously long sword on his back, adorned with scattered stars shimmering brilliantly.

The silver-haired elder was none other than Weng Siqi, the Deacon of the Beidou Sword Sect.

Qin Yuan and Weng Siqi conversed amicably.

"Brother Siqi, regarding Shaolong’s entry into the Beidou Sword Sect, I’ll have to depend heavily on you!" Qin Yuan said with a smile, warmth tinged with some humility.

Weng Siqi waved his hand with a smile: "Brother Qin Yuan, you are too courteous. With nephew Shaolong’s talent, entering the Beidou Sword Sect shouldn’t be an issue; once nephew Shaolong is accepted, I’ll take him in as a disciple, and then, his standing in the Beidou Sword Sect will surpass that of ordinary disciples by far."

Qin Yuan replied with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Siqi!" Having said that, he took out a jade box: "I know Brother Siqi cultivates the Seven Luminaries Sword Technique, needing a sword spirit. This sword spirit, I went through great pains to find for you."

Weng Siqi accepted it, opened the jade box, causing sword lights to blaze forth, the sword qi imposing.

Within the jade box lay a small sword emanating stellar brilliance throughout.

"Innate Star Body Sword Spirit?" Weng Siqi’s eyes gleamed brightly.

Qin Yuan nodded with a smile: "Exactly, and this Innate Star Body Sword Spirit is ten billion years old, its sword qi extremely sharp. Brother Siqi, once you refine it into your sword, the power of the sword will undoubtedly elevate a level!"

Weng Siqi laughed: "Since Brother Qin Yuan is so considerate, then I shall accept this Innate Star Body Sword Spirit!" Having said so, he stored the jade box into his Space Divine Artifact.

At this moment, Qin Shaolong walked in from outside the great hall.

"Greetings, Uncle Weng!" Qin Shaolong stepped forward, hastily offering his salutations.

Weng Siqi looked at the imposing Qin Shaolong, nodding in appreciation: "Nephew Shaolong indeed lives up to his title as the number one prodigy of Jinyuan Kingdom, just a few decades unseen, and he has already broken through the Heavenly Monarch Realm!"

"Nephew Shaolong’s bone age is only twelve thousand years, correct?" Weng Siqi turned and asked Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan replied with a smile: "Yes, precisely twelve thousand one hundred and twenty years." A touch of pride in his demeanor, achieving the Heavenly Monarch Realm in just twelve thousand years; this is exceedingly rare in the history of not just Jinyuan Kingdom, but even the neighboring kingdoms.

Addressing his son Qin Shaolong, he said: "Long’er, when you enter the Beidou Sword Sect, you’ll have to start calling Uncle Weng as Master!"

Qin Shaolong nodded, stepping forward respectfully saying, "Shaolong greets Master!"

Weng Siqi laughed heartily, helping Qin Shaolong to stand.

In their view, Qin Shaolong’s entry into the Beidou Sword Sect seemed like a foregone conclusion.

As Weng Siqi helped Qin Shaolong to his feet, suddenly, a commotion arose outside, followed by Bright Commerce disciples being tossed inside.

Several people were aghast, greatly surprised.

While the three were bewildered, Huang Xiaolong walked in from outside the hall.

Qin Shaolong looked at the Bright Commerce disciples rolling on the great hall floor, his gaze fixed on Huang Xiaolong, expression sinking: "You certainly have guts, daring to cause a scene at my Bright Commerce and even injure my disciples!"

Huang Xiaolong smiled nonchalantly: "You’re right, I’ve always been quite bold, but I’m not here to cause trouble." But rather, to kill someone!

Everyone was taken aback.

"Earlier on the street, you nearly collided with me," Huang Xiaolong said to Qin Shaolong.

Qin Yuan gestured, saying to the guards behind him: "Give him Hundred-Dollar Holy Currency and dispatch him away!"

Previously, when Qin Shaolong collided with someone on the street, some sect experts would bring people to ’reason’, Qin Yuan always dismissed them with Holy Currency, so such a matter was not uncommon to him.

Qin Shaolong said: "Father, this person injured our chamber’s disciple, and you would let him go like this?"

Qin Yuan shook his head, instructing the guards behind him: "Give it to him!"

With his eye power, he discerned that Huang Xiaolong was not ordinary, in his view, it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble, and those who dare to come to ’reason’ are usually backed by something.

The guard complied, retrieving a Hundred-Dollar Holy Currency, then tossed it at Huang Xiaolong’s feet: "Pick up the Holy Currency and leave!"

Looking at the Hundred-Dollar Holy Currency thrown at his feet, Huang Xiaolong smiled wickedly: "Just a Hundred-Dollar Holy Currency, a bit lacking."

Qin Yuan couldn’t help but frown.

The until now silent Weng Siqi spoke: "Young man, one must know how to advance and retreat, otherwise regret may follow!"

Huang Xiaolong however, smiled, addressing Qin Yuan: "How about this, I don’t want much, just hand over the Bright Commerce Treasure Vault to me, and I’ll be on my way."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Qin Shaolong burst into laughter: "Kid, are you sure you’re not a fool? Or perhaps got knocked senseless on the street just now?"
