#349 - Chapter 349 Su Qing
Cheng Feng took the booklet and carefully flipped through it. The booklet detailed the cultivation level, aptitude, special skills, and personality traits of each female martial artist, and even included portraits for easy viewing.
As expected, every female martial artist was pleasing to the eye, with a graceful figure and, needless to say, an outstanding temperament.
The booklet contained dozens of female martial artists in the Bone Refinement realm alone, and even three in the early Viscera Tempering realm.
Cheng Feng nodded as he read, secretly admiring the professionalism and meticulousness of the Four Seas Trading Company.
These detailed aspects were beyond what a small county town could offer.
After flipping through it for a while, Cheng Feng's gaze stopped on a female martial artist named Su Qing, who was about nineteen years old.
Not only was she sweet-looking and well-endowed, but she was also skilled in the arts of qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was also a late-stage Bone Refinement martial artist.
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 a bit tragic. Her entire family had been exterminated, leaving only this嫡daughter, who was sold to the Four Seas Trading Company.
As for the female martial artists in the Viscera Tempering realm, Cheng Feng said he couldn't afford them, and at the same time, he couldn't bear the risk of being backlashed.
The reason why Su Qing's price was low was also because her enemies had poisoned her with a rare chronic poison that damaged her foundation.
It would probably be difficult to cure her, but Cheng Feng, who possessed Grandmaster-level medical skills, immediately identified the key point.
If the real person looks like this, wouldn't I be getting a great deal?
He looked up at Li Mufeng and said with a smile, "Manager Li, I think this Miss Su Qing meets my requirements very well. I wonder if you can arrange for us to meet?"
Li Mufeng glanced at the choice and immediately dissuaded him, "Young Master Cheng, to be honest, this Miss Su has internal injuries, and her martial arts foundation is suspected to be damaged. It will cost a lot of money just to see a doctor. Why don't you look at others?"
Cheng Feng chuckled when he heard this. Was this an attempt to push business away?
He then politely declined, "To be honest, I find this girl quite pleasing to my eye. As for the injuries, Cheng is not short of that little bit of silver."
When Li Mufeng heard this, he became even more certain that Cheng Feng must be a big fish!
When he first saw Cheng Feng in the front hall, Li Mufeng could see that Cheng Feng was full of curiosity about the surrounding environment, constantly looking around, obviously it was his first time here.
However, Cheng Feng's demeanor did not show any signs of haste or exclamations of high prices.
On the contrary, his temperament was calm, he only looked and didn't ask, focusing on listening to the surrounding movements.
He exuded a kind of confidence and composure, as if he was just looking at the prices here out of curiosity, and the things sold were not actually useful to him.
This showed that Cheng Feng had enough purchasing power.
This kind of bearing was usually only possessed by嫡sons and daughters from large families.
When he heard Cheng Feng say that he wanted to buy a female martial artist, it further confirmed Li Mufeng's guess.
What puzzled Li Mufeng was, who exactly was this generous Cheng Feng?
And which family's son was he from?
These questions swirled in Li Mufeng's mind, making him deeply interested in this mysterious buyer.
It would be nice to broaden his network of contacts.
Otherwise, would he really be so idle as the person in charge?
To do business, you must have insight.
Seeing that Cheng Feng wouldn't listen to his advice, Li Mufeng followed suit and said, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away. Please wait a moment, I'll go and invite Miss Su Qing here."
With that, Li Mufeng got up and left the VIP room to arrange the meeting. Cheng Feng stayed where he was, waiting with anticipation and nervousness to meet Su Qing.
He was just buying a warm bed maid, but Cheng Feng seemed to have come into contact with a higher level of society.
Which family would spend fifty thousand taels of silver to buy a female martial artist just to carry on the family line?
However, what Cheng Feng was more curious about was, could those young masters from big families subdue martial artists with such high realms?
After a short while, Li Mufeng walked in with a woman in a goose-yellow embroidered dress.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Feng's heart couldn't help but stir slightly. This woman's temperament was very different from the female martial artists he knew. She was more like a gentle lady from a boudoir.
The goose-yellow embroidered dress swayed gently with her steps, each step seeming to tread on the spring breeze, bringing a faint floral fragrance.
Cheng Feng looked carefully, her face was sweet, and she couldn't see her toes when she looked down.
She was the type Cheng Feng liked.
But the sorrow in her slightly furrowed brows somewhat spoiled Su Qing's overall sweetness.
Cheng Feng could understand. It was a tragedy of the extermination of her entire family.
It was already very good that she only frowned slightly. He just didn't know if she still had the desire for revenge.
Li Mufeng looked at Cheng Feng's careful expression and felt relieved. He said with delight, "Young Master Cheng, this is Miss Su.
Speaking of which, Miss Su has recently encountered misfortune. Her family has suffered a sudden change, leaving her alone. She is lonely and helpless. It would be her blessing if Young Master Cheng could take a liking to her."
Su Qing stood quietly beside him, slightly bowing her head, seemingly deliberately avoiding his gaze. Her slender hands tightly twisted the corners of her clothes, revealing her inner unease and helplessness.
"Miss Su, please accept my condolences," Cheng Feng said softly, trying to give her a trace of comfort in his own way.
For such pain, any words seemed pale and powerless.
But Cheng Feng couldn't possibly avenge her and fight to the death.
He was here to do business, not to help the poor.
If he really helped everyone he met, wouldn't Cheng Feng be ruined?
Everything depended on what Su Qing thought.
Li Mufeng's evaluation of Cheng Feng went to the next level when he saw that Cheng Feng was not moved by Su Qing's tragic life experience.
He turned to Su Qing and said coldly, "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's buzz, but it was unusually firm: "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Cheng. But although I am a woman, I also know that kindness and revenge must be repaid. I swear to avenge my father and mother with my own hands."
Li Mufeng was annoyed after hearing Su Qing's words: "This business, I'm afraid it won't work."
No customer would like to spend money to buy trouble.
Cheng Feng nodded secretly in his heart when he heard this. Although Su Qing seemed weak, she was resilient and a woman with her own ideas.
He looked at Li Mufeng, and the two exchanged a knowing look, understanding each other's thoughts.
Li Mufeng stepped forward quickly and said, "Young Master Cheng, I think you should change to another one!
This Miss Su has a very high heart!!!"
Li Mufeng, who had been rejected by Su Qing, naturally did not have a good face for Su Qing. He said sarcastically and then suggested to Cheng Feng, "Young Master Cheng, what do you think?"
Cheng Feng smiled slightly and said, "Manager Li, can I say a few words to Miss Su?"
A knowing look flashed in Li Mufeng's eyes, and he refused with a smile, "Young Master Cheng, this does not comply with the rules of the Four Seas Trading Company."
