Wux Building Enterprises – Part II
He sat in the lotus position on his bed with spine straight. Deep in meditation, he regulated his breathing and conserved energy for night ahead.As night fell when the Moon was still visible on the horizon, an amazing event occurred with timing precise. Its faint glow and halo around it provided minimal illumination, shadows deepening everywhere.At the back of the Moonlight Mansion in the service area, a young man dressed in white appeared. He wore a black coat complete with a hood that concealed his features, walking quickly in a quiet alley near the mansion. Movement was silent, footsteps making no sound on cobblestones.Not long after his departure from the alley, from within the quiet passage another figure appeared. Dressed all in black from head to toe, he walked quickly and even began climbing towards the sky. Towards the horizon he ascended, defying gravity through cultivation technique.This ability can only be performed by high level Dao practitioners with sufficient power
Wux Building Enterprises – Part I
The bustle and life of the Ancient City during the day was vastly different from that at night. Guo Jiang observed the city's life as the sun shone brightly overhead, casting long shadows. There was no trace of the ominous aura he had felt when he arrived the night before, darkness banished by daylight.The streets are currently crowded with various horse drawn vehicles and spiritual animals carrying goods. All levels of society were busy with their activities, especially around trading areas where merchants hawked wares. The energy was palpable, commerce flowing like river current.However, one building caught Guo Jiang's attention with its imposing presence. It had a sturdy structure and reached five floors into sky, dominating the skyline. The architecture spoke of wealth and power consolidated."Wux Building and Enterprises!" Guo Jiang read the large signboard on the fifth floor of the building with interest. "Isn't this the Wux Clan Building? Well, this clan has really flourished
The City's Dark Secret.
Sitting on a soft mahogany chair covered with thick cushions that cradled him, Guo Jiang enjoyed the service of the nobles offered there. Tea steamed, dishes arrived with perfect timing.The coachman Guo Jiang hired also enjoyed the special service with gratitude. His room had been comfortable, treatment exceeding expectations for hired driver.While enjoying hot Hong Cha and goose liver with steamed buns that melted, Guo Jiang began to dig up information from Cui Cheng. At that time, it was 9 a.m. in morning sunlight, or according to Cui Cheng the Si Period. The time when snakes emerge from their nests to hunt, auspicious hour for discovery."Manager Cui, there is one thing I have been wanting to ask since last night." Curiosity demanded answers."Just say it young master, anything you wish to know." Permission granted freely.When Guo Jiang questioned Manager Cui with casual tone, his sensitive ears as a practitioner noted something. His cultivation in the early Dao realm called Kai
The Emerald's Authority.
With a condescending expression twisting his features, Wuying said with venom. "Words without proof, it's just mere gossip from a hired driver! I won't believe that this young man has enough money to stay in the best room in our Moonlight Mansion!" The servant put on a haughty face, arms crossed.Guo Jiang didn't let these demeaning words bother him in the slightest. He remained calm like still water, expression unchanged."How much does it cost to stay in the best room at Moonlight Mansion?" Guo Jiang asked casually with mild curiosity. The question was simple, direct.Still maintaining a sneering expression of superiority, Wuying replied lazily with deliberate slowness. "One thousand mid grade Energy Stones, and they must be paid in advance!" His face was full of challenge, certain of victory. "Do you have that much money on your person?"Guo Jiang then took out a green gemstone the size of an adult's big toe from his pouch. The green gemstone was an Emerald of exceptional quality,
A Disdainful Welcome.
It wasn't even late in the day when Guo Jiang arrived at the Moonlight Mansion with anticipation. The journey had been long, dust coating his simple robes from hours on the road."This place is one of the best hotels or inns in the Ancient City, Young Master," said the carriage driver as they arrived in front of a tall, four story building. His voice carried pride, as if personally responsible for the establishment's reputation.The glow of lanterns glittered in front of the hotel with warm amber light, making the sign "Moonlight Mansion" stand out against darkening sky. However, the lobby was strangely quiet despite the welcoming illumination. There were no people moving in or out with the bustle typical of a prosperous hotel, silence heavy and unnatural.The restaurant or cafe directly adjacent to the lobby and reception area also appeared gloomy despite decoration. Although the restaurant was quite large and lit by colorful lanterns that cast rainbow shadows, the atmosphere was any
Xathanael's Urgent Mission.
The figure, who turned around and looked at Guo Jiang with widening eyes, his face filled with shock. After recognition dawned, he hugged Guo Jiang tightly and began to cry with overwhelming emotion. Years of worry released in that moment."Brother Guo Jiang, you are still alive! Fatty is so relieved to hear the news that you have returned to this Ice Island," Fatty said in a voice filled with admiration and joy. Tears streamed down his round face, unchecked and unashamed.The two of them exchanged old stories of past adventures and shared hardships. But Guo Jiang had to end it quickly despite desire to linger. "I'm afraid I'll be late for the scheduled departure of the ship to Suzhong City in the Northwest! Sometime after I'm done with this mission, I'll visit you properly!" The promise was sincere, friendship valued despite duty.As a farewell gift that spoke of generosity, Fatty gave Guo Jiang a trendy outfit complete with accessories. A hat or cap was included, a typical Northern
