Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Xu Muge's Background Is Not Simple!

The Crazy Old Man set aside the roast chicken and wiped his greasy hands on his clothes before he began, "I heard you got that painting handed down in your family?"
"Yes, I've already obtained the painting from the Qin Family."
"Good," the Crazy Old Man nodded, "Have you unraveled its secret?"
"I have," Qin Jiang nodded and said, "I used the techniques from the Supreme Dao Scripture to break the seal on it and acquired what was inside the painting."
"That's great!" The Crazy Old Man nodded, his face filled with satisfaction, "It seems my disciple does possess some skills and hasn't disappointed me. But you must remember what I'm going to tell you next."
"First! Remember, whatever is inside that painting, do not reveal it to anyone or discuss it with anyone! Do you understand?"
"Once it's leaked, it could bring about lethal danger! After all, these are things that shouldn't appear in the ordinary world!"
"And... the most important thing is, this is something your father protected with his life, and its use is far more significant than what you see on the surface!"
"However, with your current level of cultivation, you cannot fully realize its effects. Once you become stronger, you will understand its true purpose!"
A shiver ran through Qin Jiang's heart, "Something my father protected with his life? Do you know its origin?"
The Crazy Old Man said indifferently, "I don't know what exactly is inside, but I know it's something that all martial artists and cultivators dream of acquiring, and its emergence would surely spark fierce competition among countless people!"
"You've noticed, haven't you? Many are seeking and exploring the secret of this painting! At the last auction, there must have been others who tried to snatch it along with you, right?"
Qin Jiang gave a slight nod, "Indeed, there was a mysterious person who competed with me for it."
The Crazy Old Man said, "That's just the beginning."
"Once those guys find out that the painting ended up in your hands, you're going to be in even greater trouble. So, you must keep this inside your stomach!"
"I understand!" Seeing the Crazy Old Man's serious face, Qin Jiang did not dare to be negligent and nodded.
"Your future path is long, and as for the secrets you bear, I can't tell you now," the Crazy Old Man said solemnly, "because you're too weak."
"When your strength reaches the Heavenly Realm, I'll share a part of the truth with you."
"Secrets I bear?" Qin Jiang was shocked!
"That's right." The Crazy Old Man grinned, "You didn't think I took you as my disciple on a whim, did you?"
Qin Jiang was at a loss for words.
However, over time, he had gradually realized some things—the Crazy Old Man took him as a disciple, and it was all arranged in advance!
Yet, Qin Jiang didn't know his purpose.
What exactly is his father's relationship with the Crazy Old Man?
The more truths he encountered, the more he felt that things were not as simple as he imagined. There were many mysteries on him waiting to be unraveled!
After the Crazy Old Man left, Shen Longting tentatively said to Qin Jiang, "Master, shall I announce that you will take the position of Chairman of Longting Group today?"
"Sure!" Qin Jiang nodded. After all, he couldn't really ignore the Crazy Old Man's orders.
"Great!" Shen Longting's company was taken by Qin Jiang, but he was not a bit unhappy. Instead, he was somewhat excited, "Then shall I give you a tour of the company today?"
"Okay!" Qin Jiang was somewhat helpless. He hadn't expected that just by stopping by, he would become the richest man in Jiangcheng?
After all, Longting Group was the number one consortium in Jiangcheng!
As the Chairman of Longting Group, Qin Jiang naturally became the richest man in Jiangcheng!
Shen Longting personally took Qin Jiang around the office area of Longting Group, introducing him to everything about Longting Group.
Qin Jiang wasn't particularly interested.
He said with a smile, "Little Shen, although the old man has told you to transfer the company to me, I definitely won't have the energy to manage it. So, there's no need to introduce so much to me. You will still be the one making the decisions for this company. That won't change."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Longting said with a laugh, "I just wanted Master to get a glimpse of Longting Group."
After all, even though the Crazy Old Man was the founder and investor of Longting Group, Shen Longting had been running it for many years; it had been his hard work and dedication. Therefore, Shen Longting had deep feelings for Longting Group.
Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Alright, it's about time for me to head back."
"Oh, those two 'fish' should still be okay, right?"
Shen Longting chuckled, "Don't worry, I've been keeping a very close watch on your five hundred million."
Shen Longting had someone watching the Rong Family Father and Son around the clock, afraid of any slip-up.
Qin Jiang said coldly, "The gambling match starts tomorrow. I hope the Rong Family won't use any dirty tactics. Otherwise, I will make them regret it!"
Shen Longting said with concern, "I've already found out that the Rong Family has invited the God of Gamblers from Fragrant City to ensure their victory in this gamble. Do you have confidence, Master?"
"A God of Gamblers isn't invincible," Qin Jiang said indifferently, "I'll counter whatever moves they make!"
As they were talking, several figures approached from the opposite direction.
"Qin Jiang! How the hell did you sneak in here?" Wen Wu's expression changed upon seeing Qin Jiang, and he reprimanded loudly.
As the number one local consortium in Jiangcheng, Longting Group wasn't a place where just anybody could come and go!
This ex-convict, he also has the qualifications to come in?
