Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 152 You should have said so earlier!

boom!
The Wang family representative was kicked back several steps on the spot, and it took him a long time to regain his balance.

What the hell? Is this the power of a level four spiritual force?

Not only him, but even Zhou Qi and the club members standing next to him were stunned.

After all, the opponent had a level six spiritual power cultivation, and had clearly been going all out to prepare for a defensive counterattack.

"Holy crap, what's up with the vice president? Is his personal strength that powerful?"

"A fourth-level spiritual power going head-to-head with a sixth-level spiritual power, and the physical strength not being at all inferior? Is that reasonable?"

Zhou Qi stared in astonishment, his eyes wide.

The way he kicked out just now was clearly something he had practiced.

What does this mean? It's one thing to have an extraordinary talent for painting scrolls, but is your own combat ability also just as extraordinary?
"Wow, isn't this...?" Wang Xiaocong looked on with surprise and uncertainty.

He had sensed something was wrong with the first kick, and now that he had kicked out the second time, he was almost certain that Wu Xian's way of circulating spiritual energy was the unique spiritual energy circulation technique of their Wang family.

As everyone was shocked, the Wang family representative's expression became even more distorted.

"Boy, do you know what happens when you offend the Wang family?" The Wang family representative's face was gloomy. With a wave of his hand, a golden scroll transformed into a painting spirit resembling a Rakshasa, and it was a painting spirit with seven and a half stars.

"Heh," Wu Xian chuckled dismissively, "do you know the consequences of offending a scroll painter?"

Having said that, the image of the Five Gods of Wealth above his head opened, instantly causing the aura of the Rakshasa spirit to tremble violently.

He's just a mere spirit master, yet he dares to act so arrogantly towards scroll painters, relying on the prestige of the Wang family.

Ordinary scroll painters might take your Wang family seriously, but I, for one, don't.

The moment they sensed the power of the Five Gods of Wealth image, the arrogant demeanor of the Wang family representative noticeably subsided.

"You...you...is this how you treat cooperating with my Wang family?"

"Attitude?" Wu Xian raised an eyebrow. "You dare to talk about attitude?"

As they spoke, the God of Wealth slowly emerged amidst a golden light. His black tiger roared, instantly disrupting the aura of the Rakshasa painting spirit with its seven and a half golden stars.

"Put down the deposit, then get back to your Wang family!" Wu Xian said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Zhou Qi and others quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "It's alright, Brother Wu. After all, it was a training pod that the president went to great lengths to order, and it's very important for the future development of our club."

"Don't worry~ I'll arrange something even better for you later." Wu Xian reassured everyone.

"Huh?" Zhou Qi and the others were stunned. "Brother Wu has ideas for the Spirit Scroll?"

If other scroll painters said such things, they would just laugh it off.

But when Wu Xian said those words, they felt a strange sense of security and reliability.

"The idea for a spirit creature scroll?" Upon hearing this, the Wang family representative burst into laughter. "Do you think spirit creature scrolls are so easy to create? Even if you could, what right do you have to compare them to my Wang family's [Ink Jade Bamboo Forest]?"

At this moment, the Wang family representative stood up again.

In his view, the people at the club definitely valued the Wang family's Moyu Bamboo Forest more, and naturally wouldn't believe this kid's "empty promise."

However, judging from the reactions of the club members, they seemed to trust the young scroll painter in front of them quite a bit.

“Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier, Brother Xian?” Wang Xiaocong’s eyes lit up, and then he gave the Wang family representative a wicked smile. “I’ve been annoyed with this guy for a long time! Damn it, he was the one who installed the black jade bamboo forest for our family. We have to pay him for the maintenance twice a year, and we also have to give him a fee for his trouble.”

"What the heck?" Wu Xian asked in astonishment, "There are subsequent maintenance costs?"

What's the difference between this and the foreign engineers and imported equipment used in the early days of China's development?
Why spend so much money to invite an ancestor over?
"Brother Xian, don't you know?" Wang Xiaocong asked in surprise, "The Wang family in the provincial capital are shady!"

Zhou Qi took a deep breath, his eyes flickering. No wonder Wu Xian reacted so strangely yesterday; now he understood why.

You should have said so earlier! Look at the mess you've made. He looked so humble just now, but he was really upset.

We're all hot-blooded young people, and if there's a way, who would want to put up with this?

“Representative of the Wang family, why don’t you just return the deposit? You should have seen it yourself, our vice president has a rather bad temper.”

Faced with the hostile gazes of everyone in the club, the Wang family representative was bewildered and somewhat flustered.

No, what is going on?
In the past, when similar situations arose, didn't everyone side with the Wang family?

On the other hand, Wu Xian became angrier the more he thought about it. With a slight thought, the God of Wealth struck him with a divine lightning bolt.

As the saying goes, there are ways to amass wealth. As the representative of the God of Wealth, he couldn't bear to see it any longer, so his wealth aura naturally dissipated and merged into the world.

It's time to properly reorganize the world's wealth and fortune.

boom!
The Wang family representative was struck black by lightning and, terrified, backed down, saying, "Let's talk this out. Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. Here's your deposit."

At the same time, Xue Lingling, who had received the news earlier, also rushed over.

After seeing the situation clearly, her expression stiffened. She had only "taken a day off," but it felt like the whole club was in chaos.

"President Xue?" The Wang family representative seemed to have found a savior. "Is this how you cooperate with the Wang family? This is your deposit. The Wang family will not do this business with you no matter what."

"My dear disciple, you really are..." Xue Lingling shook her head and sighed softly, secretly feeling a headache coming on.

After all, she owed a huge favor for these five training pods and had also given away a lot of valuable materials.

But there was nothing she could do. Her own disciple was a great benefactor to the Xue family, and she couldn't possibly side with outsiders, could she?
However, after listening to everyone's explanations, Xue Lingling's mindset immediately changed.

"My good disciple already has ideas for the spirit scroll painting?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely better than that lousy Black Jade Bamboo Forest." Wu Xian replied confidently with a smile.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You've made your teacher waste so many good things."

Xue Lingling understood immediately, a hint of anticipation in her beautiful eyes. She then turned to the Wang family representative with feigned politeness and said, "I will send today's surveillance footage to Senior Brother Wang. Please take care, Representative Wang."

"You, you, you..." The Wang family representative's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. "Hmph, it would be a miracle if your lousy club ever got better."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and left arrogantly.

In the past, someone would definitely step in to persuade someone to stay in such situations.

But this time, what "retained" him was a mahogany coffin covered with yellow talismans.

boom!
The handsome Wang family representative, who had just walked to the door, was knocked away by the mahogany coffin lid, leaving only a bewildered scream.

"What the hell? A nobody from the Wang family dares to talk back to me?" Xue Lingling snorted and pouted.

After saying that, he immediately retrieved the surveillance footage and sent the arrogant behavior of the Wang family representative to the person in charge, Senior Brother Wang.

Unfortunately, I can't get those materials back from Senior Brother Wang; consider them as compensation for breach of contract.

Wu Xian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior Brother Wang? Does the Wang family also have members studying at the Necromancer's Guild?"

“Yes,” Xue Lingling nodded and said, “My senior brother, who is one year older than me, only relies on the [Ink Jade Bamboo Forest] to support his family. In other aspects, he is only average in the necromancer dojo.”

"We have a good relationship?"

"Okay~?" Xue Lingling teased, "How could a noble person from the provincial capital possibly look up to a country girl like me? Later, I don't know where they heard that my Xue family was the founding family, and that's when they started treating me as a fellow villager."

"..."

Well, it turns out that Senior Brother Wang is also a snob.
