The Geared Immortal

The Great Wu Cultivation Academy: 1

/*unedited*/

The many people in the surrounding of the small shop suddenly stop talking as a pin drop silence pervades the air. When the middle-aged man asked that question, everyone turns their eyes towards the beautiful woman beside the handsome young man. They immediately realized that she was Mrs. Jiao, who suddenly turned younger.

The man is the current head of the Jiao family, Si\'en Jiao. His imposing aura who is currently also in the late-stages of the gold core realm suddenly clashes with Aye Muyan\'s aura. The people around them with lower cultivation felt the air around them became too cold. Plus the oppressing auras of the two cultivators are making them feel light-headed.

"I repeat the Jiao family is not welcome here. Go away!" Aye Muyan shouted in a cold voice.

"Hahaha! Do you think it\'s that easy to get away from us? We didn\'t divorce and are still a married couple. So, you still belong to me… you two get her!" shouted Si\'en Jiao with an imposing voice.

Two of the four elders beside him rushed forward to grab Aye Muyan. The two have the same cultivation level as her, so they are confident that they can suppress her easily.

Aye Muyan wanted to rush forward but felt a warm hand on her shoulder.

"Mom, don\'t push yourself too hard… Let this son of yours show my filial piety." Shin Jiao whispered as his figure suddenly appears beside one of the elders who were caught off guard.

His huge powerful fist came crashing towards the elder\'s face breaking his nose and a couple of his teeth. The Jiao family elder is a man in his 30\'s and has a stocky build, but after he was hit by Shin Jiao, he suddenly became like a rag doll as he immediately fainted.

Crash!

The other elder stopped on his track as he suddenly noticed a young man calmly standing from where the other elder was before.

Everyone is now looking at Shin Jiao as the people immediately recognized him. He was the youngest son of the Jiao family head who caused a lot of trouble from before. It was rumored that he died, but now the young man is standing in front of all of them.

Shin Jiao didn\'t want to expose himself this early but he had no choice. To protect his mother, he needed a show of power to those who dared hurt the people he loves.

With a cold snort, he looks directly at the man who claims to be his father.

"You dared disrespect, my mother. You call yourself her husband, so that means you are my father, no?" Shin Jiao said with a cold glint in his eyes.

"This is not the first time I saw a bastard husband like you. In my travels, and I\'ve taught a lot of them a heavy lesson." Shin Jiao said with killing intent in his eyes.

He is actually telling half-truth right now, as he truly did teach a lot of these kinds of guys, but that was on earth.

This statement gives the people around him and the Jiao family an idea that he lost his memories. This way he can pretend that he didn\'t know them.

"You… how dare you… you little trash!" Si\'en Jiao shouted as he felt that his pride was trampled by his own son.

"Hahaha… come \'father\' let\'s see who the trash is." Shin Jiao said as he lifted his hand and taunted Si\'en Jiao.

The elder beside him didn\'t think twice and attacked immediately. But he soon found himself flying upside down towards a stall beside the road.

Bang! Crash!

Upon seeing this, the rest of the elders made their move and attacked Shin Jiao who calmly looks at them.

"Mother… can I kill any of them?" Shin Jiao asked nonchalantly.

The people upon hearing this felt a cold shiver down their spine. The young man right now is fighting against two experts but has the time to leisurely asked Mrs. Jiao for a confirmation.

Aye Muyan\'s eyes suddenly turned worried. She didn\'t expect that Shin Jiao can handle those elders from the family. They are already great figures in the family and possess skills and strength making them elders. But his son is just toying with them, what logic is this.

"Son… let…"

"Kill them." suddenly a young voice coming from the side said coldly.

Prince Mingsha Wu who is covering his face removes the cover and showed his face. He is currently leisurely sitting on a hand wooden handrail of a nearby shop.

Everyone gasp in disbelief even Si\'en Jiao felt that everything that is happening right now is too bizarre. First is the strength of his wastrel of a son and the beauty of his first wife which truly made him want to have her back, and now the presence of the youngest prince of the Wu kingdom. Everything is too bizarre to say that it\'s coincidental.

"Greetings, young prince." Shin Jiao said as his two attackers stopped attacking and rushed to the side of Si\'en Jiao.

"This lowly one would not dare to kill anyone without the consent of my mother. Though you are the prince, however, in my heart, my mother holds the greatest respect." Shin Jiao said without batting an eye.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they know the temper of the youngest prince. And how dare a mere son of a low noble family talk back to the young prince.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Mingsha Wu laughed.

"This… this is the reason why I like you. Hahaha… You are a true man. I guess the rumors about you are wrong. Or maybe this is the real you after forgetting everything in the past... I wonder why you... Ahh... never mind." Mingsha Wu said with a smile.

"Prince Mingsha, you should not concern yourself with this trifling matters. Come let\'s go inside." Shin Jiao said as he ignored the Jiao family head and the elders.

With a smile, Mingsha Wu strode along with him and enters the small store. Those nobles who have bought the artifacts from the shop didn\'t leave as they are still hoping to have a chance to buy more of those.

But they know that they only have one at a time as per rule that Shin Jiao gave them.

Inside the small room of the shop, Shin Jiao and Mingsha Wu sat facing each other.

"Young prince…" Shin Jiao said but was cut off as Mingsha Wu raised his hand.

"I wanted to be your friend. So just call me by my name, Mingsha o brother." Mingsha Wu said with a smile.

With a wry smile, Shin Jiao felt a bit awkward calling the young prince by his name or even brother.

"Anyway, I\'m here to tell you that you have caused a great disturbance to the noble house in this area." Mingsha Wu said while pointing at the window outside.

In there, a number of people can be seen waiting outside. And from their appearances and way of dressing those people are clearly nobles. Shin Jiao know that their purpose is to buy his limited artifacts. He made decided to do the hunger marketing strategy so that he can give value to the artifacts he made. This way he can earn more and gain more customers.

Though he knows that this would attract some trouble but as his plan are already on the way, he plans to implement his protection method. And that method is currently in front of him.

When Mingsha Wu saw the smiling face of Shin Jiao he suddenly feels a shiver running down his spine.

"Well, my products truly have attracted many people. But I don\'t have time to think of ways to handle this as my hands are tied with work." Shin Jiao said with a heavy sigh.

"How about I give you a hand… I\'m interested in this artifact business of yours. The one you gave me greatly helped my situation with my older sister. Because of it, we became closer, and she wanted to know the crafter." Mingsha Wu said.

"Well, the truth is only you know that I am the only one making the artifacts. With your disposition and way of thinking, I trust you, but with regards to other people, not yet. I want to keep a low profile." Shin Jiao said.

Right now, he still needs to train Ai Ji to be his replacement and also her father. Both of them can be considered as a top craftsman if they would be on Earth.

"Alright, then how about I invest in this small business of yours and make it bigger. This way we can cater to both cultivators and mortals at the same time. You see, I also truly appreciate Mrs. Jiao. Although she is a powerful cultivator, she never bullied the weak and that is the thing that I admire from her. She is like my… my older sister." Mingsha Wu said.

The two then made plans on how they can set up a far bigger business in the city.

But unknown to them, a storm is currently brewing in the whole empire of Xi. This is because a large influx of beast clan people is on an exodus towards the border of both the East and West boundaries of both empires. Leading this huge number of beast clan people is their new king, the young prince of the beast clan.

His father died right in front of him and he didn\'t even have time to fight against the enemy. The only thing that their people can do is to flee. They needed to flee from the see of creatures they have never seen before. The only thing they have about these creatures is the name that they are called...

Demons…
