Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 70 – Arrogant Young Master!
The dark-faced Long Ba noticed Bai Jugu and Gu Feng whispering to each other, and was visibly displeased.
He frowned and shouted, "Bai, what are you dawdling for? Quickly reorganize the caravan and follow me to Moonwatching Cave to pay respects to the young chieftain!"
Bai Jugu was also somewhat annoyed with Long Ba. After all, he was the leader of the Jiang family caravan, representing the face of the Jiang family.
This Long Ba was merely a servant of a small Witch's Village, yet he dared to shout at him like this, which was indeed a bit too much.
But under the eaves, one must bow their head. The Jiang family was extremely confident in their reputation, so they usually didn't send real experts with the caravan each year.

If not for the presence of Gu Feng and others, the strongest person in Bai Jugu's team was only at the first level of the Golden Elixir Realm.
Although the four major Witch's Villages in the Northern Wilderness were weak in the eyes of the Jiang family, this was still their territory. As long as it wasn't a matter of principle, Bai Jugu would choose to back down.
With a bitter smile, Bai Jugu suppressed his anger and murmured, "My friend, our Jiang family caravan has been trading with Young Master Ji Wenxuan of your village for many years without incident. Now you want to take us to Moonwatching Cave, which seems a bit inappropriate!"
"Nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Long Ba didn't even think before scolding, "Ji Wenxuan is just the son of a lowly maid, what right does he have to represent our White Tiger Witch's Village!"
After a pause, Long Ba, still unsatisfied, continued arrogantly, "In previous years, our young chieftain was too lazy to manage these trivial matters. Now that the chieftain is critically ill, our young chieftain naturally has to take over all the affairs of the village, big and small. How could Ji Wenxuan have a say!"
His words left everyone present in silence.
Gu Feng found it amusing. This Long Ba truly had no tact and no sense of discretion.
He was just a servant, and while it was understandable to stand up for his master, there was no need to be so high-profile. Didn't he know that walls have ears?
Even more laughable was that this guy was such a big mouth, revealing the critical illness of their old chieftain to outsiders in just a few words.
If they encountered someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't they be in trouble?
Bai Jugu was stunned, shocked to realize that Ji Qin was nearing his end, and his three sons were indeed about to start fighting among themselves.
He knew he couldn't interfere in this matter. After all, they were trading with the White Tiger Witch's Village, and it didn't matter who they dealt with. It just meant more talking with a new person in charge.
With a sigh, Bai Jugu reluctantly agreed.
"In that case, I will lead the caravan to follow."

Seeing the other party relent, Long Ba felt a surge of pride. He waved his hand arrogantly, and a group of witch cultivators cleared the way ahead, with the villagers quickly making way.
The caravan set off again, changing course towards Moonwatching Cave.
Long Ba led the way in front, strutting arrogantly.
The caravan arrived safely at the entrance of Moonwatching Cave.
Under the protection of the surrounding mountains, a barren cave dwelling appeared before them.
Around the cave dwelling, there were scattered wooden houses and fences, with many servants from the Witch's Village bustling in and out, appearing wild and chaotic.
At a glance, Moonwatching Cave was merely a cave dwelling with extremely sparse spiritual energy.
Gu Feng felt that this wretched place was even worse than the dormitories for servants in Heroic Spirit City.
The scale of the Witch's Villages on the Northern Wilderness border was very small, with the population of the four major Witch's Villages combined being less than one ten-thousandth of Heroic Spirit City.
Such a Cave Heaven Blessed Land was already considered the best in the area.
Long Ba raised his chin proudly and said to the caravan, "Tonight, you can temporarily find a place near Moonwatching Cave to camp."
Bai Jugu was already quite dissatisfied with Long Ba's attitude. He didn't respond and turned to instruct the caravan guards to set up camp.
"Bai, my young chieftain wants to see you. You're only allowed to bring one guard. Hurry up, don't keep my young chieftain waiting!"
Impatiently waving his hand, Long Ba urged with a frown.
Just as Bai Jugu was about to move, Gu Feng grabbed him and said, "Brother Bai, I'll go in with you. I'm curious to see what makes Ji Xuanming so arrogant."
After a brief consideration, Bai Jugu nodded and replied, "Very well, I'll trouble Young Master Gu then."
He really had no choice. Ji Xuanming was notoriously arrogant and unreasonable.
He didn't have any capable people under him, but with Gu Feng's cultivation, he could walk with confidence in the White Tiger Witch's Village. Having an extra helper wasn't a bad thing.
The two followed Long Ba into the cave dwelling.
As soon as they entered, Gu Feng noticed that the cave dwelling was a completely natural cave, without any artificial embellishments.
Though it didn't have the sophistication of the Twelve Imperial Cities, it subtly aligned with the Great Dao of nature, exuding a hint of simplicity.
The walls of the cave dwelling were lined with torches, their flickering light casting shadows. In the center sat a tall man on a wooden chair, the young chieftain of the White Tiger Witch's Village—Ji Xuanming.
He wore a fur coat, his black hair disheveled, resembling a bear that had lost its fur at first glance.
Long Ba immediately knelt at Ji Xuanming's feet, bowing respectfully, "Young chieftain, this servant has brought the leader of the Jiang family caravan."
"Good job!"
Ji Xuanming praised in a deep voice, taking a swig from a bowl of wine on the table beside him. He looked at Bai Jugu and Gu Feng and asked, "Which one of you is the leader of the Jiang family caravan?!"
Bai Jugu was seeing him for the first time and was taken aback by how robust the man was. Feeling a bit intimidated, he quickly replied, "That would be me..."
After sizing up Bai Jugu, Ji Xuanming raised an eyebrow and suddenly burst into laughter, "I thought the Jiang family was something special, but they sent a greenhorn to negotiate with us! That's all? Hahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many of the witch soldiers and servants in the cave laughed along, completely disregarding the two.
Gu Feng frowned slightly, his impression of Ji Xuanming and the entire White Tiger Witch's Village plummeting.
Being brainless was one thing, but being so arrogant was another.
Setting aside the strength of the Jiang family, the caravan had traveled a long way to trade, and they were guests. This was no way to treat guests.
These people were nothing more than a bunch of uncivilized savages!
Bai Jugu's expression was uncertain. He suppressed his anger and forced a smile, saying, "I am indeed lacking in talent, and my cultivation is not worth mentioning. In the Jiang family, I am merely a servant, which is why the family head sent me to lead the caravan and trade with the major Witch's Villages on the border. It is a case of making the best use of everything."
Gu Feng chuckled to himself, wanting to give Bai Jugu a big thumbs up.
The meaning of his words was clear: trading with them was not a big deal for the Jiang family, and there was no need to send someone impressive. A servant like him was enough.
In other words, the White Tiger Witch's Village was insignificant in the eyes of the Jiang family and not worth their attention.
It was truly a case of using a small force to achieve a great effect!
