Chapter 163: Song Lu Tian
Sage asked about some of the details of his assignment a bit more before he was finally shown out. From the nonchalance of his assignment, either they were very assured of his capabilities, the flowers were not as important as they said, or they had other plans. It wasnt really his concern, but without knowing the motivation his actions it was too easy to fall into someone elses plots. Such a thing made him uneasy. If he was going to be used, hed rather go along willingly and treated as a valuable piece, not a disposable pawn.
Nothing I can really do about it. I either follow the plan or escape.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
Since he didnt have any proof of any plotting he could only grit his teeth and follow along with his role. Song Lu Tian. That was his target for this operation. A direct approach would be dreadfully dangerous. This wasnt a video game, he couldn't just reload the game save if he said the wrong thing. There was no way he would approach the man with no information. Digging into his funds he started an information gathering campaign. Paying a few lower level cultivators to dig up news and rumors about Song Lu Tian. While waiting for results he took up post in some of the most popular teahouses and restaurants, listening for information. He didnt want to ask directly as that might make its way back to Song Lu Tian.
A few days later, hed formed a rough idea of Song Lu Tian. He was known as a peerless genius and undefeatable beneath the fourth rank. From what was gathered, he seemed like a professional athlete. His reputation was immense, already famous for having won four other tournaments just like this one. The first time he was a dark horse with no backing, a poor civilian who had learned only the lowest level of cultivation technique. After struggling tooth and nail to triumph over some local talents he was noticed by a big sect and taught powerful techniques. Then he broke through into rank 2 and won another big tournament. Still a no name, that was when his reputation was cemented. Afterwards he broke into the third rank and went on to triumph at two more major events. It was no wonder that the Zhu clan had such faith in his victory for this selection tournament. He was very likely to come away with first place, so getting into the top one hundred and earning passage into Thunder Mountain Bridge was almost assured.
With his research complete, Sage was ready to make an approach. After a few more palms were greased he figured out where Song Lu Tian was staying and made his way over. Unlike that Tang Zhelan hed ran into earlier, Song Lu Tian hadnt taken up a whole inn. Instead his reputation was so great that one of the wealthy landowners in town had gifted him a luxurious villa. The extravagance of the gift showed how great Song Lu Tians reputation was. The property was large and spacious, placed among the wealthiest district in town. In the poor side of town a similarly sized district held thousands of homes, yet this one only had dozens, each of them sprawling estates with large walls and multiple buildings within. Arriving at the gate, Sage had to bring out a pile of spirit stones to get himself a meeting. So many wished to meet with Song Lu Tian that the gifts had to be brought back to the main house in carts. Even by mentioning his Sect, Sage still had to fork out hundreds of spirit stones to arrange a meeting.
Heading inside he was finally brought forward to meet with the man and was surprised by how young he was. Of course, hed known the tournament was for those under twenty, but he hadnt really paid too much attention to it. Song Lu Tian was surprisingly not an elegant gentleman, but a hulking brute. He looked like a pile of muscles roughly molded into a human shape.
Song Lu Tian examined the blade and seemed pleased by its unique appearance, even if it wasnt better than his own current weapon. Sage chose the gift for just this reason. It was to show his talent and to bait the mans desire. If he gave him something amazing from the beginning what would he use to pay for his help? The middle aged man to Lu Tians left stepped forward and examined the formation plates, Not bad. These are gifts from your sect?
Forgive this one for not knowing your name, Sir. These are not gifts from my sect, these are my own personal gifts to Song Lu Tian, each of them made by myself alone.
The middle aged man seemed a little surprised and then nodded, No problem. I am Song Heng and I handle all the miscellaneous duties for Song Lu Tian. We cant have our great disciple worrying about things like paying tolls, ordering meals, or sorting gifts.
Song Lu Tian waved a hand which prompted Song Heng to return to his seat. After which the muscle bound teen fixed his gaze onto Sage and stared at him in silence for a few moments. Sage was guessing this was some sort of test again so he didnt dare to break the silence or look away from that deep stare. He stood there patiently, calmly looking back into Song Lu Tians eyes.
Good. You have some backbone. Now, tell me. What is it you want?
Heh. Straight to the point.
Truly an upright hero that is the envy of us all. In my opinion your success in the coming tournament is a given. I am here to ask for your help in procuring some special materials from the Thunder Mountain Bridge. My gifts to you are merely a demonstration of the sorts of compensation you can expect in return. I am only asking for you to collect a material with little value to others and in return I will have the masters of my sect craft for you objects of your liking. I need only to know what it is you desire.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
