Chapter 16: Chapter 15: Attempt and Resentment

Translator: 549690339

[Simulation ends, you can choose to keep one of the following rewards.]

[One: Three years of True Qi accumulation.]

[Two: Combat experience of a Sixth Grade Martial Artist.]

[Three: 1000 Taoyun exchange for an Earth Yuan big pill.]

After a moment of contemplation, Pei Xuanjing chose the second option.

Three years of True Qi accumulation would definitely be a good thing for him, saving a lot of grinding time, and accelerating the strengthening of his organs and marrow with True Qi.

But once he noted that he might have a severe conflict with the Liu family in this life simulation, even to the point of life and death, he felt it was more reliable to enhance his combat experience.

Even though the life simulator said that during the Liu family’s ambush, someone from the city lord’s palace would assist him in the end, it was just too unpredictable, and he couldn’t place all his hopes on the city lord’s help.

As for the third reward option, he could use Taoyun to exchange for an Earth Yuan big pill. This reminded him that in one of his previous simulations, the reward was the exchange of Human Yuan Pill.

Pei Xuanjing could only groan at this option, berating the reward as useless. Indeed, the elixir was good, but much too valuable to exchange it with his hard-earned Taoyun.

Spending the accumulated Taoyun he had painstakingly saved just for life simulation was already a pinch, he definitely didn’t have any surplus to exchange for Earth Yuan big pill.

So, he just brushed aside such rewards, even though they do catch his attention.

However, the subsequent turn of events was somewhat unexpected to Pei Xuanjing, and he was unsure whether his attempt was a success or failure.

Pei Xuanjing refrained from going out to avoid conflict with the Liu family. He had been practicing cultivation in the inn instead. Thus, the incident with the Miss Liu as mentioned in the life simulator never happened.

Yet, even so, he eventually fell into inevitable conflict with the Liu family.

It was that day when Shen Xiang came to the inn early in the morning, saying he had chosen a residence for Pei Xuanjing, and brought him to have a look.

It was a courtyard located in the North City, which, according to Shen Xiang, originally belonged to a wealthy businessman who had to sell it to pay off his debts after his business failed.

Although Pei Xuanjing had been living in a small town in the border county previously, the Everlasting Observance there was a local power, so he never had to scrimp on his living conditions.

The courtyard was not large, but it was delicately furnished, commanding a panoramic view. Pei Xuanjing liked it at first sight and decided to make it his place of residence in Anping Prefecture.

However, a few days after he paid the money and moved in, a group of people came to his door, telling Pei Xuanjing to vacate the property. Being bullied at his own doorstep, Pei Xuanjing would not swallow his anger and sent them away directly.

“Brother Pei, I’m really sorry, it’s all my fault.” Shen Xiang spoke to Pei Xuanjing with an apologetic face.

Pei Xuanjing’s expression was calm as he said, “Brother Shen, spare me the unnecessary words. You’ve already figured out who’s behind these people, haven’t you?”

Indeed, when such an event occurred, Pei Xuanjing naturally called Shen Xiang, the middleman, to explain what happened.

And that’s why Shen Xiang apologized just now.

Hearing Pei Xuanjing’s question, Shen Xiang still wore an apologetic expression as he said, “It was my oversight, I didn’t realize that this courtyard had caught the eye of the Liu family. I was even wondering why such a well-positioned courtyard was not being bid on, now I know the reason.”

Pei Xuanjing didn’t agree or disagree with his words, he just said meaningfully, “Oh? Is that so?”

As one of the stewards of the Shen’s Business Association, a major power in Anping Prefecture, if Shen Xiang’s ability were as he said, the Shen’s Business Association would have been destroyed long ag
