Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 197 - 90 Thunderous Ovation_2

This time wouldn't be particularly long, he could wait, his mother could wait as well.

After a short while,

"Brother Jiang Ning, I've brought the money!"

The person wasn't there yet, but the voice had already arrived.

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Ning stood up to greet the visitor and walked towards the entrance of the main hall.

It was Yang Kai bringing the money.

The next moment.

Dark-skinned, tall, and burly Yang Kai appeared in front of Jiang Ning, and also in front of Liuu Shansheng and the others.

Behind him followed a fair-skinned, somewhat frail attendant.

"Manager Yang!" Jiang Ning called out in greeting.

"I've come at an inopportune time!" Yang Kai's gaze swept quickly over the scene inside the hall.

"Not at all, Manager Yang has come just in time, come take a seat and have some wine!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai laughed heartily and then said, "Since Brother Jiang Ning has extended an invitation, I am more than happy to join!"

With that, he walked towards the dining table.

At this moment, Liuu Shansheng looked at Yang Kai with slight surprise.

Yang Kai was tall and buff like a barrel.

Moreover, his muscles seemed like iron blocks firmly on his body.

At a glance, he knew that the dark-skinned man before him was extraordinarily strong.

Most likely, he was a strongman at the Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm like himself.

At this point, Liuu Shansheng was surprised not by Yang Kai's strength but by Manager Yang's attitude.

Manager Yang came to visit and Jiang Ning, his sister-in-law's brother, didn't even go to the doorway to welcome him.

In his view, this was disrespectful.

How could one be negligent towards a Martial Arts Strongman?

Yet Manager Yang was not only not angry, he showed considerable face to his sister-in-law's brother.

The conversation also revealed a subtly ingratiating tone.

This completely baffled Liuu Shansheng.

A strongman of the Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm, even in the Liuu family of Dongling City, would be an esteemed guest.

Not to mention in a small place like Luoshui County, regardless of status, just by virtue of such Martial Arts strength, one would indeed be a figure above others.

But at this moment, such a person showed a touch of flattery toward his sister-in-law's brother.

This feeling, he had seen many times before.

But it was always the subordinates who displayed this kind of attitude towards their superiors.

"Brother Jiang Ning, this is...?" After taking his seat, Yang Kai hesitated as he looked at Liuu Shansheng.

"Oh!" Jiang Ning realized and then said, "This is Liuu Shansheng, my brother Jiang Li's brother-in-law!"

"I see!" Yang Kai then said to Liuu Shansheng, "Brother Liuu, I have long heard your great name. I am the store manager of the Weapon Forging Shop, Yang Kai."

Liuu Shansheng: "...."

He was momentarily speechless, then he composed himself and said with cupped hands, "Manager Yang, I too have heard of your renown!"

Jiang Ning: "..."

Watching them, he couldn't help feeling speechless.

Liuu Wanwan saw this scene and slightly chuckled.

Jiang Li similarly showed a smile.

Then,

Yang Kai turned to Jiang Ning, who was sitting beside him, and seriously said, "Brother Jiang Ning, I have come today to deliver the silver to you."

"Manager Yang, you dealt with it so quickly?" Jiang Ning showed a hint of surprise.

"Of course!" Yang Kai nodded and then said, "The iron mines are worth 11,700 silver taels. Would you like to check with me later, Brother Jiang Ning?"

"No need!" Jiang Ning shook his head, "Since I've chosen to trust Manager Yang, there is no need to check."

"Brother Jiang Ning is truly a gentleman!" Yang Kai praised.

He then gestured to the attendant behind him, who immediately handed over the tray covered with a red cloth.

Yang Kai took the tray and placed it on the table.

The next moment,

He pulled with one hand, and the red cloth was instantly ripped away, revealing eleven gold leaves and seven silver notes pressed underneath them.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

Even Liuu Shansheng, upon seeing the gold leaves on the tray, couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

Eleven gold leaves, which meant eleven taels of gold.

The total value of 11,700 silver laid in front of them was a huge shock even to him.

The Liuu family indeed was wealthy,

But it also had a large business and many direct and collateral family members.

Every month's expenses are a vast sum.

So for the Liuu family, the genuinely liquid funds available each month aren't much.

Roughly only about twenty to thirty thousand taels of silver for circulation.

And these twenty to thirty thousand taels of silver aren't just for one person but for the entire Liuu family.

"It seems I underestimated Jiang Li's brother-in-law's brother! The kid managed to get his hands on so much money, he's got some skills!"

Liuu Shansheng mused to himself before his gaze fell back on the dining table.

"And there's the meat of the White Dragon Fish!"

"No wonder he was confident enough to stand up to me just now!"

"It looks like the kid's strength isn't merely Qi Blood Perfection, he must have stepped into Martial Arts Nine Grade!"

"For his age, Martial Arts Nine Grade is indeed quite good!"

"Reaching Eighth Grade in the future should be effortless, and even Seventh Grade is not out of the question!"

"This is probably why Manager Yang treated him so specially."

Liuu Shansheng thought to himself.

At that moment,

Jiang Ning reached out and grabbed three gold leaves and those seven silver notes from the table.

"Sister-in-law, take these!"

"What are you doing?" Liuu Wanwan looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.

"Brother Ning, what are you up to?" Jiang Li frowned slightly.

Jiang Ning shook his head with a smile, "Big brother, big sister! What Liuu Shansheng said earlier is right, Yiming has reached an age where, aside from attending private school, it's also time to spend some money to enhance his martial arts foundation!"

"Ah Ning, you're right! But this is too much!" Liuu Wanwan shook her head, "You've already given your big brother a substantial amount of money before, and now Yiming eats well and drinks well every day, he's even grown taller over these past few months!"

"Moreover, a few days ago there was the White Dragon Fish meat you sent over; Yiming's martial arts talent will surely exceed his father's."

At this time, Jiang Li also spoke up, "Brother Ning, take it back! You need money yourself right now."

"You two stop fussing! Yiming is not only your son but also my nephew, Jiang Ning!"

As he finished speaking, Jiang Ning showed a look that brooked no refusal.

At this point, Jiang Li was ready to speak, but Liuu Wanwan tugged at his sleeve.

"Brother Li, Ah Ning makes a point, and we shouldn't disappoint his kind intentions!"

"Well... okay then!" Jiang Li nodded hesitantly with some reluctance.

"What a good brother the brother-in-law has!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li chuckled with a hint of pride on his face.

Then, Liuu Shansheng raised his glass to Jiang Ning.

"For doing so much for Yiming, I toast to you!"

Jiang Ning smiled, "After all, Yiming bears the Jiang surname, and I, as his uncle with only one nephew, naturally have to take care of him."

Then he too raised his cup, "Big brother, Manager Yang, cheers!"

"Alright!" Yang Kai grinned and lifted the cup before him.

Jiang Li did the same.

Clank clank clank —

The glasses clinked, emitting a crisp and pleasant sound.

The next moment,

they all drained their cups in one go.

Amid the clinking of cups and toasts, the lunch was quickly polished off.

Several pounds of good wine also made their way into the bellies of the men.

"Brother Jiang Ning, there's some business I need to take care of back at the shop, so I'll take my leave now!" Yang Kai said, cupping his hands toward Jiang Ning.

"Manager Yang, please take care!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in farewell.

Seeing this, Yang Kai immediately beamed with a smile.

Afterward,

Liuu Shansheng also bid farewell to Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan before he approached Jiang Ning.

"Brother Ning, do you mind if I call you that?"

"Not at all," Jiang Ning shook his head.

Liuu Shansheng said, "To be honest, I admire you! For someone of your background to have come this far, it's quite extraordinary! I believe Brother Ning's luck isn't bad either!"

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "It's alright!"

Liuu Shansheng said, "But for Yiming to have a good future, he'll need to come to the Liuu family, don't you think?"

Jiang Ning just smiled non-committally.

"I won't say."

"Uh..." Liuu Shansheng was silent for a breath before he cupped his hands, "I'll take my leave! See you tomorrow!"

Then, he also cupped his hands to bid farewell to Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan, not far away.
