Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 1054 974: Qinglong Jade King (Two Chapters Combined into One)

Qin Heng was slightly taken aback by the words, his gaze scanning the young man.

How long had it been since someone dared to speak to him this way?

This young man was just an ordinary person, without any martial skills, not even worth mentioning to Qin Heng when he had just reincarnated, let alone now.

"What did you say?" Qin Heng said blandly, not paying much attention to the man but refraining from making a move.

Recklessly exposing his strength was not what Qin Heng wanted; he aimed to first integrate into this planet's society, establish causal ties, and then break through, stirring the awakening of the planet's Spiritual Energy.

Although a breakthrough alone could trigger the planet's Spiritual Energy, Qin Heng's goal was more than that — he sought to delve into the origin of the Dao, thereby comprehending the Supreme Law.

The best approach hence was to build deeper causal connections with the planet, making it easier to access the Dao origin when Spiritual Energy reawakens during cosmic changes.

Exposing all his power too early would lead others to revere him as an untouchable God, impeding ample interactions, a scenario Qin Heng preferred to avoid.

Whether it's grievances or gratitude, these are all causal ties, and enriching such connections is best done from society's lower tiers, step by step upwards, eventually enveloping the planet's forces, creating significant causal ties with all beings.

This young man provoking him out of the blue seemed like a suitable start for establishing low-level social causal ties.

The young man's expression was exceedingly arrogant, turning incredulous upon hearing Qin Heng question him back, evidently shocked Qin Heng dared to speak up.

"You little brat, how dare you even ask me!?!" The young man was furious, his face livid as he pointed at Qin Heng, sneering, "I've changed my mind; even if you slap yourself a hundred times, I won't let you go!

So young yet flamboyantly dressed, coming to Caiyun Pavilion to seduce women, you're clearly disregarding me, Liu Tianyang! Who do you think you are? You've got guts!"

As soon as he revealed his name, chaos erupted around, with clerks, staff, and customers all staring at him with shock.

It seemed they had heard something unbelievable.

"My god, this person is actually Liu Tianyang? Wasn't he just working at the cashier!?!"

"Brother Liu is Liu Tianyang? Oh my, I didn't know, no wonder the manager never dared to boss Liu around. Turns out, he's Liu Tianyang!!"

"Luckily, I haven't done anything bad nor have been seen by Brother Liu, thank goodness…I was scared to death this time."

Many were astounded, deeply shocked by Liu Tianyang's identity, while internally relieved, clearly, this Liu Tianyang was an extraordinary person, his name alone instilling fear.

However, newcomers and some customers were unaware of who Liu Tianyang was, including Wang Ziyuan, who earlier blushed under Qin Heng's gaze.

Thus someone asked.

"Who is Liu Tianyang? Is he really that impressive?"

"Oh hell, buying something at Caiyun Pavilion and not knowing who Liu Tianyang is — do you even want to work here? How can you be so uninformed??"

"I'm just here to sell something. Do I need to know so much?"

"Of course, or else how will we avoid offending someone we shouldn't? Liu Tianyang is a big figure beyond us mere mortals offending!"

"So, who exactly is Liu Tianyang?"

Many at the scene had similar questions — who exactly was this Liu Tianyang? Was he really that remarkable? Judging by the reactions, he seemed to be an extraordinary figure!

"Aye, you all are so naive, not even knowing Liu Tianyang. Since Young Master Liu himself has revealed his identity, let me tell you a bit." A middle-aged man, appearing in his forties, stepped out; he was the manager of this branch of Caiyun Pavilion, Feng Yu.

"Manager, you're here, didn't expect Brother Liu to be Young Master Liu Tianyang, truly surprising."

"Indeed, never thought I could work in the same shop as Young Master Liu Tianyang, truly fortunate, hahahaha!!"

Many immediately started flattering Liu Tianyang.

"Manager, please tell us who Liu Tian…uh, Young Master Liu really is." Several female clerks curiously asked, unable to restrain their curiosity.

The surrounding people's gazes also turned to Feng Yu, awaiting his reveal.

Wang Ziyuan, however, frowned slightly, her gaze anxiously shifting to Qin Heng, although she didn't know who Liu Tianyang was, she could tell Liu Tianyang wasn't a regular person, worried Qin Heng might get hurt.

After all, nowadays, although everything seemed peaceful on the surface, there were many undertows at play. Once darkness fell, hidden powers were numerous; if one offended the wrong person, they might just vanish without seeing tomorrow's sun.
