"No sir, we've never met before. This is the first time we have met." The elder shook his head before continuing, "I know your name because Young Master Zhang-Long from Green Mist Forest Escort Agency called you. I must apologize!"

"Oh, that's how it is! It's all right. You don't have to apologize to me for such a small matter. By the way, why is a trade association executive like you coming out to talk to only two young men like us? Or are we doing something wrong?" Zheng-Fu did not overthink why the elder knew him. He just wanted to know why he had appeared.

"No, not at all, Young Master Zheng-Fu! You haven't done anything wrong. It's just that I happened to see that you were able to accurately assess our weapons only by looking at them. As an old man, I'm interested and would like to get to know you, Young Master. No malicious intent at all," the elder immediately denied what Zheng-Fu said, before raising other excuses.

"It would be better if you told the truth. Because people should speak with sincerity!" Zheng-Fu knew that what the elder said was just a made-up reason. Because he sensed that the elder had been secretly staring at him for a long time, he definitely did not just happen to walk by and see them.

Hah!

When the elder heard Zheng-Fu's words, he suddenly turned pale. He did not think that this young man would be able to speak with such pressure. Even he could not do it. And it made the elder realize that the young man in front of him was not someone whom anyone could easily do anything to.

"Forgive this old man, please! Actually, I just want to know your identity. So I secretly watched you for a moment before appearing. But regarding my interest in getting to know you, it's true. And I have nothing hidden!" This time, the elder admitted and undisguised the whole truth, and his eyes were very serious and revealing.

Umm!

Zheng-Fu nodded and gave the elder a satisfied smile. He thought that if the elder did not tell the truth, he would not be polite anymore. But when the other party showed sincerity and spoke openly without hiding like this, he was no longer prejudiced.

"Thank you, Young Master Zheng-Fu! By the way, do you want to use that saber yourself?" The elder smiled, relieved. Before he asked about the saber that Zheng-Fu bought.

"I don't use it myself. I bought it for Elder Brother Zhang-Long," Zheng-Fu replied, shaking his head. Before he pointed to Zhang-Long who was standing behind him with a puzzled face as he still did not understand what was going on.

Huh!?

"Give me!? You buy it for me!?" Zhang-Long's eyes widened upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words. He was so shocked that he could not do anything. It was far beyond his expectations.

But when he thought back to what Zheng-Fu had asked him earlier, he already understood that Zheng-Fu had intended to buy him this saber from the beginning.

"Younger Brother Zheng-Fu!"

"Don't think too much, Elder Brother Zhang-Long! I already have a more powerful weapon. So, I think it suits you better." Zheng-Fu lightly patted Zhang-Long's shoulder as he said that the young man deserved this saber more than him.

Ah!

"But even then, it was still too much. I think…"

"If you don't accept it, I'll assume that you don't accept my goodwill and don't see me as your younger brother!" Zheng-Fu had to use this ruse once more on someone who did not accept his things. And it always worked very well. Because anyone would have to accept it when they were in this situation to maintain a good relationship with each other.

"All right! I'll take it. And I promise to take good care of it!" Zhang-Long finally decided to take the saber that Zheng-Fu had bought for him, albeit hesitated.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu, if you have enough time to talk to this old man for a moment, I want to talk to you for a bit if you don't mind," the elder said politely after waiting for Zheng-Fu and Zhang-Long to finish speaking.

"If it's not too long, it's all right, sir." Zheng-Fu looked at the elder for a moment before agreeing. Seeing the other party's serious expressions and polite demeanor, he, therefore, chose not to refuse in order not to hurt his feelings and lose a good relationship with each other.

"Thank you, Young Master!" the elder replied with relief.

After a while, the young woman ran back with two middle-aged men holding the box of the saber. And they handed it to Zheng-Fu.

"This is your saber, sir!" This time the young woman did not even dare to look at Zheng-Fu's face. She already knew that Zheng-Fu was no ordinary young man. Because even the trade association executive came out to take care of him personally.

"Thank you very much!" Zheng-Fu took the saber box from them. Before he smiled at the young woman and tossed a high-level Heavenly Purple Crystal to her. "This is yours!"

Blop!

Ah!

"Young... Young... Young Master!" She did not know what words to say because the high-level Heavenly Purple Crystal in her hands was even worth more than her half a year's salary combined.

"Take it! Because I have received a lot of advice from you. You deserve it!" Zheng-Fu comforted her and let her know that she really deserved it.

"Thank you very much, Young Master!" the young woman quickly bowed low and gratefully thanked Zheng-Fu. She was really grateful to Zheng-Fu. She had been working here for a long time but had never been paid this much before. Moreover, she would also earn a commission for recommending goods to Zheng-Fu.

"All right, Elder Brother Zhang-Long, this saber is now yours. Take it please," Zheng-Fu turned to the young man and handed over the saber box to him. Before he excused himself to go talk to the elder, "And now I'm going to talk to Master Executive for a moment. If you have anything to do, you can go back first. When I'm done with business, I'll find a chance to visit you at the Escort Agency!"

"If so, let's meet again, Younger Brother! I'll hurry back to the Escort Agency to show this saber to my father and uncles. I think they're going to be shocked and scold me at the same time, ha ha ha!" The young man nodded to Zheng-Fu. He thought that he did not have anything to do after this, so he excused himself to return to the Escort Agency. And besides, he wanted to show off this saber to others because he was very excited.

Ha ha ha!

"You must find a good excuse. Because no one would believe that someone would give such a precious saber for free. And I'll go to help you explain soon!" Zheng-Fu understood the meaning of the young man's last sentence well, so he thought that he would have to visit the Escort Agency soon.

Umm!

After parting with Zhang-Long, Zheng-Fu followed the elder up to the seventh floor of the Green Mist Forest Trade Association. As he reached the entrance to the seventh floor, he sensed several great skilled martial masters hiding nearby. They were all intermediate and advanced Heavenly Star Stage cultivators. Of course, they were responsible for preventing those who would invade.

"Hope you don't mind them!" It was as if the elder knew that Zheng-Fu had sensed the hiding great skilled guardians. He then apologized if those people were disrespectful.

"Not at all! It's their job. How can I blame them!?" Zheng-Fu replied in a casual tone.

Umm!

Ten minutes passed...

Creeeaaak!

"I have brought him, sir, Master Manager!"

On the seventh floor, there was only one door in front of the ascent. The elder opened it and spoke politely to the people inside the room.

"Bring him in. I have been waiting for him for a long time." A response came from within the room. That voice indicated that this man was not very old, probably in his early forties.

Thump! Thump! Thump!!

"Nice to meet you, Young Master Zheng-Fu!"

As soon as Zheng-Fu followed the elder to enter the room, a middle-aged man politely greeted him. He was really in his early forties, as Zheng-Fu thought.

"Nice to meet you, Master Manager!" Zheng-Fu also politely greeted the middle-aged man back.

"You don't have to be so polite, Young Master Zheng-Fu. First of all, I'd like to apologize for inviting you to talk without an appointment. But because I have something to say to you, I hope…"

"Let's get to the point. I don't have much time. What do you want to say to me?" Zheng-Fu did not want to waste time listening to the other party's roundabout words. So, he told the middle-aged man to speak directly.

Sigh!

"All right! I'll get to the point. I know Young Master Zheng-Fu is from the Heavenly Command Sect. And you're also the Defeat Heavenly Force Leader," the middle-aged man immediately said directly and clearly. And his words shocked both the elder and Zheng-Fu. The elder was shocked because he did not expect this young man to be that great. As for Zheng-Fu, he was shocked that the middle-aged man recognized him.

"You must be wondering how I know. In fact, on the day Heavenly Command Sect had a serious incident, I was stuck there too. So, I know all the stories that have happened. And I also saw you in the capital, so I knew from then on who you were. But if you don't believe my words, I would be willing to do anything to convince you," the middle-aged man continued to explain with a solemn expression.

"Since you've explained it like this, I wouldn't doubt you anymore. You can say what you want to say to me," Zheng-Fu answered understandingly upon seeing the middle-aged man's expression. And he asked back succinctly.

"Hmm! Right now, our city is being controlled by the Demon Sect and they want to destroy it. Therefore, I'd like to ask for help from you, whose strength is not inferior to Heavenly Command Sect-master's, to defeat them."

"Being controlled by Demon Sect!? Can you explain more?" Zheng-Fu saw from the other party's eyes that he was very serious and did not lie. So, he believed what the middle-aged man said.

"You've probably heard of Black Bamboo Group, right? Of course, they were affiliated with the Demon Sect and so were the people who backed them. Because I saw a group of people from the Demon Sect come to Green Mist Forest City. So, I investigated everything until I found out that they live in one of the main clans of Green Mist Forest City. And that clan is the supporter of the Black Bamboo Group!" The middle-aged man continued to explain with a very serious and infuriated expression.
