Chapter 304: Chapter 304 Useless Accurate Prediction
Watt? Feng Jun was suddenly stunned, seeing Feng Jing continue walking without pause, he quickly caught up again, “Is that really your husband?”
Feng Jing’s face showed no expression, only answering faintly, “He’s my husband, so I cannot see him.”
But it was evident that her emotions were still somewhat unsteady; after a few more steps, she snorted softly “He’s strolling through the mall with another woman, and the one fleeing in panic is me… isn’t that ridiculous?”
“He touched that woman’s ass, but you and I are innocent,” Feng Jun quickly spoke up. However, after pausing for a moment, he hastily explained, “I didn’t know he was your husband, and it wasn’t me who tampered with the light… I just predicted it.”
As soon as he said it, he regretted it; she doesn’t know I can perform External Release of Internal Qi, why am I so anxious?
Feng Jing glanced at him and couldn’t help giggling, “I didn’t say you did it.”
It was clear that her happiness was genuine, “If it really was you, I should be thanking you. Better to spend his money on treating injuries than on those dubious women… at least it wouldn’t bring any dirty diseases home.”
Seeing that her mood had indeed improved, Feng Jun’s eyes darted, “So, what time should I call you tonight?”
Feng Jing looked at him blankly, “Call me… tonight? What for?”
“For late-night snacks,” Feng Jun replied with wide eyes and a righteous tone, “You can’t say my predictions are inaccurate, can you?”
“You’re not mistaken?” Feng Jing glanced at him incredulously, “My husband has been seriously injured… I’m sure I will receive a call, and I’ll definitely have to visit him at the hospital, even if it’s just for show… What late-night snack are we talking about!”
Feng Jun was left speechless; he really wanted to say—aren’t you just playing with me?
But for some reason, the lifestyle of Feng Jing and her husband gave him a strange feeling inside—not exactly pity for her, but he didn’t want to provoke her anymore.
So, he asked another question, “So, are you still going to teach your two classes tonight?”
“Of course,” Feng Jing replied without hesitation, “I need to earn money to be independent and to live without having to look at anyone’s face. After finishing my classes, it won’t be too late to go see him.”
Your husband is seriously injured, and yet earning money is more important to you, Feng Jun truly felt sad for such a marriage.
Yet, he couldn’t help feeling secretly pleased: it seems not only have I lost to teaching classes, your husband has lost too.
Then, he just watched as Feng Jing turned off her mobile phone right in front of him.
Noticing Feng Jun paying attention to her, Feng Jing explained indifferently, “Thanks to your reminder, I can’t tell others that teaching is more important. It’s just better to turn off the phone altogether, get some peace and quiet.”
After that, the two went to the underground parking lot to their cars, with Feng Jun accompanying Feng Jing to find hers before watching her drive off.
As Feng Jing passed by Feng Jun, she saw his gloomy appearance, slowed down, lowered her window, and waved at him with a smile, “Your predictive abilities… are amazing!”
Even though they were in the underground parking lot, she was already wearing a pair of large sunglasses. But even through the glasses, one could sense that she was genuinely happy.
But Feng Jun was dejected, with half the afternoon ahead of him, not knowing how to spend the time that was neither here nor there.
He thought for a moment and decided to look for Liang Haiqing to discuss the gold acquisition.
He now had a foothold in the mobile phone realm, and in the future, he likely wouldn’t need Earth Realm’s gold. Instead, it might be possible to transport the gold from that realm to Earth.
So, he wanted to discuss with Henglong whether they could take on his gold.
In fact, discussing with Li Dafu would be more appropriate for such matters, a prominent state-owned enterprise like them dealing with some dubious gold was nothing. Their capacity to weather storms was much stronger than that of a private enterprise like Henglong.
However, Feng Jun didn’t plan to attend any jade and jewelry conferences, so he wasn’t interested in listening to Li Yongrui’s ramblings.
After all, he was only tentatively inquiring today. If the talk was not satisfactory, he could still turn to Li Dafu later.
Coincidentally, Liang Haiqing was at the office. When his people reported up that President Feng was considering selling gold, he hurried down and invited Feng Jun into his office.
The acquisition of gold actually follows relatively strict rules, and Boss Liang knew the score. He didn’t ask where Feng Jun’s gold came from, or why in such a short time, he had shifted from buying gold to selling it.
He just expressed that if Feng was thinking of selling gold, he was open to buying, and the purchasing price would definitely be at the upper limit, so Feng could rest assured.
He did ask whether Feng Jun would attend the national jewelry and jade conference in Yangcheng, mentioning it was a high-profile event, and even the president of the Huaxia Jewelry and Jade Association would be there.
Feng Jun read between the lines: this conference might capture the attention of people like Young Master Dou.
Therefore, he indicated that he wasn’t very interested—after all, Zhang Caixin hadn’t called, so he might as well not attend.
In the evening, Zhang Caixin’s call still hadn’t come. After Feng Jun returned to the villa, Xu Leigang had just finished his cultivation practice and proactively sought him out to discuss matters concerning the capital.
Xu Ruofang had contacted him, wanting to know if the Body Tempering Pills created by Feng Jun could effectively treat her father-in-law’s illness.
Xu Leigang found himself in a difficult position. Having begun his cultivation, he had a considerable understanding of the human body’s meridians. He didn’t need to consult Feng Jun; just by analyzing on his own, he knew that, given the efficacy of the Body Tempering Pills, the possibility of curing a patient suffering from cerebral infarction was quite high.
However, without the permission of the master, he wasn’t sure whether he should tell his sister or not.
In the end, it was Xu Ruofang who made a statement, saying that Master Feng had already declared the treatment plan feasible, although there were some uncertainties.
After hearing the details, Xu Leigang affirmed with great certainty that Master Feng’s words were indeed correct. As for whether there were any alternative methods for a patient whose vital energy was greatly depleted, he still needed to consult the master.
But Xu Leigang was clear in his heart that the master had said, once he reached the fifth diagram in his cultivation and Wang Haifeng reached the seventh, he would prepare an additional elixir that could help cultivate vital energy.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun’s brows slightly furrowed, “They’re still not giving up?”
Because he had accumulated quite a number of Foundation Establishment Pills by wildly collecting Natural Treasures, none of which his parents had yet to enjoy, it irked him that others wanted to jump the queue.
Upon hearing this, Xu Leigang realized that his master’s words weren’t very friendly, so he quickly played his trump card, “My sister said that we could trade like last time… The quantity is negotiable.”
Explosives? Feng Jun couldn’t help but be tempted again. His experience in the Mobile Phone Realm proved that these things were extremely useful, whether it was for eradicating strong enemies or mining Spirit Stones.
He still had an ample supply of explosives, but such resources… It truly wouldn’t hurt to stock more. This time, the Yuan Family was asking him for a favor, so they had initiated the request. If he were ever in need and approached them, it would most likely involve more complications.
So after hesitating for a moment, he inquired, “Do you want me to go to the capital?”
“That seems to be the case,” Xu Leigang answered with a smile, but in his heart, he had already changed “seems to be” to “definitely,” “Old Master Yuan has been in intensive care all this time; it’s really not convenient to move him.”
Feng Jun’s response was straightforward, “I will not go to the capital.”
He didn’t explain the reason, but how could Xu Leigang not guess? The master had already decided not even to sell Jade to people from the capital. And Fatty Xu even thought of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.”
Of course, as a disciple, he couldn’t criticize the master’s pride. In fact, he also disliked the sense of superiority those people from the capital had.
But there was still one issue that needed clarification, “Then I will go negotiate. How many tons do you plan to ask for this time?”
Feng Jun hadn’t given much thought to this question either. Moreover, now that he had a master-disciple relationship with Fatty Xu, it felt inappropriate to make exorbitant demands, seeing as he was effectively the master; he needed to maintain his image.
So he set his terms, “I have three prerequisites. One, no going to Macau, we trade in the mainland; two, we don’t settle in Huaxia currency, we use Gold, following the listed price; three, I was very displeased with the last trip to Myanmar, let them figure it out.”
After a pause, he stated his demand, “Not less than two hundred tons, and two thousand detonators.”
Xu Leigang was flabbergasted upon hearing this, finally managing to say, “Master, your demands… are truly imposing.”
Feng Jun glanced at him indifferently, “The pill for cultivating vital energy is called the Foundation Establishment Pill. I can distribute it to you for free, but for others… do I have that kind of rapport with them?”
“Thank you, master,” Xu Leigang bowed as he spoke. Yet he couldn’t resist adding a reminder, “Elder Yuan has considerable influence in both the military and political circles. Should you cure him, it would bring you many conveniences.”
Feng Jun looked at him, smiling nonchalantly, “What can imperial power add to me?”
As I cultivate my path to immortality, are these worldly matters of such great significance to me?
Xu Leigang, who was somewhat of a literature enthusiast, mulled over the words for quite some time, figuring out what the master meant, thinking to himself that such pride was indeed unprecedented.
Of course, in his heart, he agreed with the master’s words, but there was one last question he had to ask, “Master, if they really can’t move the patient out of the capital, what do you think…?”
Feng Jun didn’t answer directly but instead made an apparently unrelated comment, “Remember to tell them… Body Tempering Pills combined with Foundation Establishment Pills cannot guarantee the cure of a patient.”
The more Xu Leigang pondered, the more he found the words loaded with meaning, and he didn’t dare to ask further. He turned around to call his elder sister.
When Xu Ruofang relayed the message to her husband, Yuan Huakun immediately recognized it as the displeasure of Old Master Yuan, “Let’s not talk about other conditions. Moving the old master to Zhengyang for treatment… would be even worse than going to Merrick!”
Xu Ruofang, having been his wife for many years, couldn’t help but argue, “It was the Hua Peng family who said that Master Feng’s treatment had good results. Besides, how long would it take to fly to Merrick, and only a few hours to get to Zhengyang?”
“Oh, I can’t be bothered to argue with you,” Yuan Huakun waved his hand impatiently, “I’ll go and mention it to the group.”
