Chapter 349: Su Qing

Cheng Feng took the booklet and began to flip through it carefully. The booklet recorded in detail the cultivation, aptitude, specialties, and personality traits of every female Martial Artist, even including portraits, making it clear at a glance.

Sure enough, every female Martial Artist was a sight to behold, with graceful figures, and as for their temperament, it went without saying.

In the catalog alone, there were dozens of female Martial Artists at the Bone Refining Realm, and there were even three female Martial Artists at the Viscera Refining Realm listed.

Cheng Feng nodded as he read, secretly admiring the professionalism and meticulousness of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

These detailed things were not something a small county town could compare to.

After flipping through it for a moment, Cheng Feng's gaze rested on a female Martial Artist named Su Qing, who was about nineteen years old.

She was not only sweet in appearance and possessed a proud figure, but she was also skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was even a female Martial Artist at the Bone Refining Late Stage.

What Cheng Feng was more concerned about was her price: fifty thousand taels of silver, which was completely within his acceptable range.

It was just that her background was somewhat tragic; her entire family had been wiped out, leaving only this one legitimate daughter, who was sold to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

As for the female Martial Artists at the Viscera Refining Realm, Cheng Feng indicated that he could not afford them, and at the same time, the risk of being backlashed...

Cheng Feng also dared not bear it, and besides, there was a reason why Su Qing's price was low.

That enemy had fed Su Qing a rare chronic poison that destroyed one's foundation.

It was probably not generally easy to cure.

Cheng Feng, who possessed Master-level Medical Skill, identified the key point at a glance.

If the real person looked like this, wouldn't he have picked up a huge bargain?

He looked up at Li Mufeng and smiled: "Manager Li, I feel this Miss Su Qing meets my requirements very well. I wonder if you could arrange for us to meet?"

Li Mufeng glanced at the candidate and immediately tried to dissuade him: "Young Master Cheng, to be honest with you, this Miss Su suffers from internal injuries, and her Martial Artist foundation is suspected to be damaged. Just the medical expenses alone would cost a considerable amount of silver. Would you like to look at others?"

Cheng Feng was amused when he heard this; was this trying to push business away?

He then politely refused: "To tell you the truth, I find this young lady quite to my liking. As for the injury and illness, Cheng does not lack that bit of silver."

Upon hearing this, Li Mufeng became even more certain in his heart that Cheng Feng must be a big fish!

When he first saw Cheng Feng arrive at the front hall, Li Mufeng could tell that Cheng Feng was full of curiosity about the surrounding environment, constantly looking around, clearly his first time here.

But Cheng Feng's demeanor showed no signs of haste or exclaiming that it was too expensive due to the price.

On the contrary, his temperament was calm; he only looked without asking, focusing on listening to the movements around him.

A kind of confidence and composure radiated from him, as if he were just looking at the prices here out of novelty, and as if he simply had no use for the things actually being sold.

This showed that Cheng Feng had sufficient purchasing power.

This kind of bearing is usually only possessed by those legitimate sons and daughters from great families.

When he heard Cheng Feng open his mouth to purchase a female Martial Artist, this further confirmed Li Mufeng's guess.

What puzzled Li Mufeng was, who exactly was this big-spending Cheng Feng?

And which family's descendant was he from?

These questions swirled in Li Mufeng's mind, making him develop a keen interest in this mysterious buyer.

It would be quite good if he could broaden his own interpersonal relationships.

Otherwise, did he really think his position as a manager was that leisurely?

To do business, one must have a sharp eye.

Seeing that Cheng Feng would not listen to advice, Li Mufeng went along with the situation: "Rest assured, I will go and arrange it. Please wait a moment, I will go and invite Miss Su Qing over."

Having said that, Li Mufeng stood up and left the VIP room to arrange the meeting. Cheng Feng remained where he was, waiting for the meeting with Su Qing with a heart that was both expectant and nervous.

It was just buying a maid to warm the bed, but Cheng Feng seemed to have come into contact with a higher level of society.

Who would spend fifty thousand taels of silver to buy a female Martial Artist just to carry on the family line for no reason?

However, what Cheng Feng was more curious about was whether those great family descendants could subdue Martial Artists with such high realms?

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Li Mufeng brought in a woman wearing a goose-yellow embroidered dress.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng's heart could not help but stir slightly; this woman's temperament was vastly different from the female Martial Artists he was familiar with, more like a gentle lady from a wealthy family.

The goose-yellow embroidered dress swayed gently with her steps, each step seeming to tread upon the spring breeze, bringing a burst of elegant floral fragrance.

Cheng Feng looked carefully; the woman's face was sweet, and when she lowered her head, one could not see her toes.

She was the type Cheng Feng liked.

But the sorrowful look with slightly furrowed brows somewhat ruined Su Qing's overall sweet temperament.

Cheng Feng could understand; that was the tragedy of her entire family being wiped out.

Just slightly furrowing her brows was already quite good; it was just that he didn't know if she still had the intention of seeking revenge.

Li Mufeng looked at Cheng Feng's careful expression and felt settled in his heart, happily saying: "Young Master Cheng, this is Miss Su."

"Speaking of which, Miss Su has also encountered misfortune recently; her family suddenly suffered a change, and she is left all alone. Helpless and alone, if Young Master Cheng can take a fancy to her, it is also her good fortune."

Su Qiang was standing quietly to the side, slightly bowing her head, seemingly deliberately avoiding his gaze, her slender hands tightly twisting the corner of her clothes, revealing her inner anxiety and helplessness.

"Miss Su, please accept my condolences," Cheng Feng said softly, trying to offer her a glimmer of comfort in his own way.

For such pain, any words seemed pale and powerless.

But it was impossible for Cheng Feng to fight to the death to avenge her.

He was here to do business, not to provide poverty relief.

If he really had to help everyone he saw, wouldn't Cheng Feng go bankrupt?

Everything depended on what Su Qing thought.

Li Mufeng saw that Cheng Feng was unmoved by Su Qing's tragic background, and his evaluation of Cheng Feng in his heart rose to a higher level.

He turned his head and said coldly to Su Qing: "Miss Su, why don't you greet Young Master Cheng?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing raised her head slightly, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, yet exceptionally firm: "Many thanks for Young Master Cheng's kindness. But although I am a woman, I also know that kindness and enmity must be repaid. My father and mother's vengeance, I swear I will personally take it back."

After hearing Su Qing's words, Li Mufeng was angry in his heart: "This business, I'm afraid it won't be done."

No customer would like to spend silver to buy trouble.

Hearing this, Cheng Feng nodded inwardly. Although Su Qing appeared delicate, she was resilient and determined at heart, a woman with her own ideas.

He looked at Li Mufeng, and the two exchanged a knowing glance, both understanding what the other was thinking.

Li Mufeng stepped forward quickly and said, "Young Master Cheng, I think you had better choose another!"

"This Miss Su has a very high spirit indeed!!!"

Having lost face after being rebuffed by Su Qing, Li Mufeng naturally did not give her a pleasant look; he made a sarcastic remark and turned to suggest to Cheng Feng, "Young Master Cheng, what do you think?"

Cheng Feng smiled slightly and said, "Steward Li, may I have a word with Miss Su?"

A look of realization flashed in Li Mufeng's eyes, and he smilingly refused, "Young Master Cheng, that would not be in accordance with the rules of the Four Seas."
