Chapter 19 - 18: Aftermath and Another Simulation
A twenty-year-old Sixth Grade Martial Artist, such a remarkable talent, even in the entire Northwest Dao, is top-notch; the leaders of all forces mused over the measures the always domineering Liu family would take in response to being at odds with such a person.
Everyone knew that the Liu family's power had rapidly risen in recent years due to their connection with a powerful figure of Northwest Dao. They offended numerous other factions and angered many people during their rise to power.
This time Pei Xuanjing's intervention left Liu Ruilong in a humiliating defeat, a somewhat embarrassing spectacle for the Liu family. Hence, not only was the Shen's Business Association amused, but other factions also took pleasure in this.
Of course, this doesn't mean that they would take action at the moment to recruit Pei Xuanjing and offend the Liu family.
They continued to observe, waiting to see whether Pei Xuanjing would still have the ability to withstand, or even retaliate, against the Liu family's forthcoming actions. He needed to prove his worth for them to recruit him.
After all, while twenty-year-old Sixth Grade talents are rare, they are not non-existent. Only those talents who have weathered the storm and survived till the end are worth their association.
Against expectations, the domineering Liu family did not retaliate after Liu Ruilong's setback this time. Instead, they quietly suppressed the matter and let Pei Xuanjing be.
This move surprised all factions. It even stirred their curiosity, they wanted to know exactly what scheme the Liu family was plotting, such that they could even stomach such a matter.
Although Pei Xuanjing did not have exact information about the thinking of the major forces in the city, he could generally guess their thoughts. After all, he too was once part of them, controlling one faction.
He wasn't interested in becoming a target, to stir trouble for the benefit of these people. Since the Liu family wasn't taking action, he would naturally not initiate anything. Instead, he accelerated his pace in refining his skill to accumulate Taoyun, aiming to unleash his next life simulation to enhance his strength.
