Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Negotiation!
The people from the Sun Family, clustered around Huang Xiaolong, hastily exited the basketball court and drove off like they were fleeing from something.
They were all worried that the moment they left the court, some hidden gunmen would ambush them and attempt an assassination.
However, it seemed the Wei Family had not yet had the chance to arrange that.
Once they had driven far enough from the basketball court, Sun Hu finally let out a relieved breath.
“Uncle Hu, aren’t you a bit too paranoid? Jiangnan City is still a bustling metropolis after all, no matter how brutal the Wei Family is, they can’t just brazenly attack us in the streets, right? Besides, no matter how many men they bring, Little Long can handle them.” Sun Wei thought Sun Hu was making a mountain out of a molehill.
“Weiwei, one can never be too cautious.” Sun Hu advised earnestly. “I once heard of a martial artist who killed his opponent in an underground fight. When he left the venue, he was assassinated. No matter how formidable one’s martial arts skills are, they can’t withstand gunfire. Better safe than sorry.”
“This is such a hassle.” Huang Xiaolong sighed, exasperated. “If the Wei Family dares to take revenge on me, I will uproot the entire Wei family and wipe them all out.”
These casually spoken words sent a chill down Sun Hu’s spine.
Dear god, you don’t hold back, do you? The Wei Family is a deeply rooted, well-established martial art family, just slightly weaker than the mythical top ten ancient martial art families. You casually talk about wiping them out as if they’re nothing?
Sun Wei, however, was awestruck by Huang Xiaolong’s audacity. She collapsed into Huang Xiaolong’s arms, completely shocked.
Well, it seemed that Sun Wei had completely let go, now openly showing intimacy with Huang Xiaolong in front of others.
The Sun Family people drove around the city a few times to make sure they weren’t being followed before returning to their hotel. However, they were considering switching hotels.
Just as they stepped into the hotel lobby, a receptionist greeted them with a smile. “Mr. Huang, there’s an invitation letter here for you.”
“Huh?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.
Darn it, another invitation?
An invitation or a wedding card?
“What kind of invitation?” Huang Xiaolong stepped forward to take the letter the receptionist respectfully handed him.
“Little Long… Is this… another challenge letter?” A stunned Sun Wei stood beside Huang Xiaolong, staring at the golden letter in his hand emblazoned with a big title – “Challenge Letter”.
Huang Xiaolong tore open the letter and took out the inner note to read it—
“Impudent Huang Xiaolong, you, a villain in a moment of victory, a man of insignificance, dare to fight me in front of everyone?”
“What? This letter is a bit over the top…” Huang Xiaolong found it both funny and annoying.
Fight in front of everyone? What an audacious claim!
Upon carefully reading the letter, Huang Xiaolong understood— it was a challenge letter from a Taoist to compete in a magic competition, best two out of three rounds.
Exorcism! Ghost extermination! Soul summoning!
The time of the duel would be tomorrow night at 11, while the location was on a mountain in the Jiangnan City National Forest Park.
Specific details of the duel would be signed in a contract tomorrow night at the forest park.
“Little Long… This is so strange, a Taoist wants to challenge you in a magical duel…” Sun Wei had an amazed expression on her face.
“Taoist… Oh, I seem to have offended a Taoist in Jiangnan City.” Huang Xiaolong suddenly laughed.
“Little Long, you mean… the owner of the Carnival Hotel? That bastard who raised the ghost of a Qing Dynasty woman? ” Sun Wei suddenly realized.
“Hehe, who else could it be?” Huang Xiaolong replied with a faint smile. “Sister Bai Hu, as I’ve said before, even if I don’t seek him, he will take the initiative to find me. He resents me deeply.”
“Then… Little Long, are you going or not? This looks like a very well-prepared challenger.” Sun Wei looked worried. “Besides, the contents of the challenge letter are very vague about many details, they don’t explain much.”
“Go, why not?” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “I don’t care what tricks they pull, I will wipe out this beast tomorrow night! He wants to compete with me in magic? How amusing! Exorcism? Ghost extermination? Soul summoning? They sound like petty tricks. Regardless of what he wants to compete in, I’ll win. Hehe~~”
Just thinking about the fun he could have tomorrow night, Huang Xiaolong was already getting excited.
Sun Wei, standing by, felt the majestic, overpowering air and confidence emanating from Huang Xiaolong. Her worries evaporated, her eyes shone dreamily. “Little Long, I want to go with you tomorrow night to that magic duel.” She said. “It sounds like a lot of fun. I’ve never seen Taoists duel before.”
“Hahaha~~ Sister Bai Hu, feel free to join if you want.” Huang Xiaolong replied nonchalantly with a laugh, then handed over the challenge letter to Sun Hu. “Here, there’s a phone number at the bottom of this challenge letter. Call them for me to confirm. Tell them that I, your young master, will be there on time tomorrow night. What do I have to fear? Hahahaha~~~”
“Alright, Master Long, I… I’ll call them immediately.” Sun Hu replied with reverence.
“Let’s go, Sister Bai Hu, let’s get some rest.” Huang Xiaolong slipped his arm around Sun Wei’s slender waist and moved towards the elevator. “Sister Bai Hu, come to my room tonight~~”
Sun Wei blushed, her eyes sparkling with allure. “Little Long, what are you planning~~”
“Ah~~ Sister Bai Hu, I remember we first met in the women’s dorm of Binhai University, in the restroom. To be honest, the light was a bit dim then, and I didn’t get a good look at you. Hehe~~you should come to my room later, so I could have a thorough…inspection.”
“Pfft~~~” Sun Wei was bashfully embarrassed. “Just looking? Nothing else?”
“Yep, just looking.” Huang Xiaolong replied with a smirk.
“Little Long, you’re so naughty. You really think I’m going to believe you?” Sun Wei gave Huang Xiaolong a playful glare, then whispered in his ear, “Little Long, you have to go to the magic duel tomorrow… I wouldn’t want that… that, to affect your performance. Here’s the deal. Win tomorrow night and I… I’ll clean myself up real good, make myself smell nice and fragrant, then take the initiative to come to your room, for you to have a good look… a good… well… you know…”
“Which one?” Huang Xiaolong teased back.
Sun Wei whispered in Huang Xiaolong’s ear, “That means…letting you…”
…
That night, as expected, Sun Wei didn’t come to Huang Xiaolong’s room.
She planned to offer herself as a reward, after Huang Xiaolong achieved a stunning victory in the magic duel tomorrow night, presenting her pure and innocent body for his taking!
Isn’t that a kind of motivation?
Huang Xiaolong, of course, would be too impolite to decline such a prize!
Is the magic duel tomorrow night going to be challenging?
Also, that night, the Sun family was unharmed; the Wei Family didn’t retaliate.
The next day, Huang Xiaolong slept until noon. Just as he was getting out of bed, he received a phone call.
Picking up his phone, he saw an unknown number on the screen.
Huang Xiaolong grumbled and answered the call.
“Huang Xiaolong~~” A seductive voice of a woman echoed from the other end of the line. She sounded like a young girl, her voice exotic and extremely sexy, akin to that of a late-night radio hostess.
It was… way more attractive than even a professional voice actress.
Upon hearing this voice, Huang Xiaolong became somewhat excited, certain that he had never heard this voice before!
“Ah, who are you? I don’t know you.” Huang Xiaolong responded playfully.
“Huang Xiaolong, listen. I’m Jin Mengqi from the Jin family.” The woman’s voice, filled with palpable hostility came through the phone!
“Yesterday, my grandfather…Well, I’m representing the Jin family regarding this matter, requesting a negotiation with you.” Jin Mengqi’s voice carried an undertone of anger. “We, the Jin family, are recognized nobles in Jiangnan City. My grandfather is highly respected…His impulsive decision to make you his mentor has greatly displeased our entire family! That’s why…I’m stepping in to negotiate. However, you cannot reveal this to my grandfather, get it?”
“Oh~~~~” Huang Xiaolong suddenly understood. So the Jin family members were disgruntled because he was Old Master Jin’s mentor, which made them feel inferior to Huang Xiaolong.

The most pivotal factor was that Huang Xiaolong was just a youngster.
That definitely rubbed the Jin family the wrong way.
“I’ll come pick you up right now.” Jin Mengqi’s voice was notably assertive, implying no room for Huang Xiaolong to resist. “Don’t even think about refusing or otherwise, if you are obstinate, then…you will pay a price, one that you…can’t afford!”
Well, Jin Mengqi was very assertive…
…
