"Like hell that'll help! Anything else might work, but asking my old man to provoke Ridge-Sea Academy? He doesn't have the guts," Sun Tianjun swore.
"Ah... ah... Ridge-Sea Academy is too powerful. Nobody wants to provoke a power with students spread all across the land. In the Jianghu, even the Ten Sects of the Sea Saint wouldn't act." Zheng Feng shook his head and sighed.
"Ugh..."
At once, sighs rose all around the table.
"Drink, drink, drink..." Sun Tianjun raised a cup and drained it in one gulp.
"The trouble is that bastard Zhao Shilong is on good terms with the academy head. He's the academy head's dog," Li Zitong said.
"I know that fellow. He's just a Deputy Hall Master, but he acts as if he's the academy head himself. He's always bullying people. Even the hall masters have swallowed plenty of his insults," Sun Tianjun said.
"Let's not talk about that. By the way, Young Master Wu, your family owns plenty of mines. Do you have any limestone mines?" Tang Wen asked Wu Guangfeng.
"Limestone mines? No. My family has copper mines, iron mines, even silver mines. Limestone's just for whitewashing walls. What use is it?" Wu Guangfeng shook his head.
"The Wu Family's eyes have fallen straight into the holes in their coins. Of course they'd disdain a small business like limestone. A pack of ungrateful wretches." Just then, Yan Beitian's cold voice came from outside.
"It's you? You... you seem to have recovered." Wu Guangfeng turned to look and froze.
"Of course. Your Wu Family thought I was about to die and sold me for a thousand taels of silver.
"But Lord Tang's miraculous hands brought me back to life. Aren't I alive and well now?
"The Wu Family is nothing but a pack of bastards!"
