Chapter 276: What a Frog at the Bottom of a Well
"A town-level city of the Land of Water XuanLord Town!" Li Jiexuan asked as a matter of course, "Xiao Tian, is there a problem with that?"
"XuanLord Town…"
Xiao Tian froze completely. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth: "Don't call me Xiao Tian call me Mr. Jintian!"
"Alright, Xiao Tian…" Li Jiexuan couldn't help but grin. He had already figured it out this Jintian had mistaken him for someone else.
"Come with me!"
Jintian abruptly stood up and led Li Jiexuan's group to a shabby, run-down waiting room. It was packed with all kinds of ninjas, chaotic and disorderly.
As soon as Li Jiexuan's group sat down, Jintian turned and left with a cold expression…
"Xiao Tian." Li Jiexuan reached out to stop him. "When will that Master Qingzheng come to see me?"
"Stay here quietly." Veins bulged on Jintian's forehead as he bared his teeth in a grim smile. "And stop calling me Xiao Tian…"
"Alright, Xiao Tian."
Jintian was on the verge of going mad.
At first, seeing that luxurious ship flying the flag of the Land of Water, he had instinctively assumed Li Jiexuan's group were official purchasers from the Land of Water.
Who would've thought that after he had escorted them into the VIP room and notified Master Qingzheng, he would discover they were impostors…
Master Qingzheng's business wasn't doing well to begin with, and now he had made such a huge blunder who knew how Master Qingzheng would punish him?
And all of this was that brat's fault!
Grinding his teeth, Jintian left. Li Jiexuan, however, didn't pay it much mind. In his view, since that VIP treatment was originally meant for official buyers from the Five Great Nations, losing it wasn't something worth dwelling on.
A truly powerful person would never feel humiliated or angered over something so trivial. Someone aiming to unify the world wouldn't care about such petty privileges…
Like the ninjas from other small nations, Li Jiexuan filled out the complicated forms, paid a deposit, and waited for an audience with the master craftsman Qingzheng.
After completing all that, came the long wait…
One day, two days, three days…
By the fifth day, everyone ahead of Li Jiexuan in line had already left. His expression gradually turned cold.
Even those who had been behind him began to leave one after another, yet his order showed no progress at all, as if it had been deliberately forgotten…
There was only one person who would do such a thing Jintian!
In truth, Jintian wasn't hard to find. As Qingzheng's broker, he frequently moved between the docks and the VIP room, searching for high-status clients.
Today, he had just secured another big order, escorting a group of elite guests from a prestigious family of Kumogakure into the VIP room…
Just as Jintian was feeling pleased with himself, Li Jiexuan coldly blocked his path. "Xiao Tian, it's been quite a while since we last met!"
"Call me Mr. Jintian!"
The moment he saw Li Jiexuan, Jintian frowned tightly and sneered, "People from small towns really have no manners. They don't even understand hierarchy and proper order!"
"Hierarchy and proper order?"
Li Jiexuan couldn't help but laugh. Even the Mizukage would show him some courtesy, yet this Jintian was lecturing him about status…
What a frog at the bottom of a well!
Li Jiexuan had completely lost his patience. In a cold voice, he demanded, "Was it you who pushed my order to the back? Answer me."
A chilling killing intent spread, as if the entire space had frozen over…
"Stop putting on airs!"
Jintian gritted his teeth and sneered. "I'm not afraid to tell you I'm the one who held back your order. So what are you going to do about it?"
