âYou⦠You, You, Youâ¦â Yun Ziqiao screamed, red-faced. âBro Tiannan! This asshole is bullying me!â
Although Yu Ziqiao was not an extraordinarily beautiful woman whose looks were capable of causing the downfall of a city or state, she was still an exquisite woman regardless.
Since a young age, she had had a sundry of suitors who filled her ears with praises and flatteries about her looks.
This was the first time she had encountered someone as infuriating and pesky as Chen Xiaobei.
Even Su Xiaoman was shocked that this composed and slightly stand-offish Childe Zhufeng would utter such harsh and sharp words!
âYou callous son of a bitch!â Du Tiannan stood in front of Yun Ziqiao protectively, glaring at Chen Xiaobei. âHow dare you bully Ziqiao meimei! You disrespect me!â
Chen Xiaobei hissed, âDid you show me any respect when you snatched the Tiger Claw Scythe away?â
âWhat the hell are you that youâre worthy of our respect?â Du Tiannan chided in a patronizing tone. âWere we not in Yellow Wind now, I would have slapped you a hundred times!â
âHeh, at least you are aware that this is Yellow Wind!â Chen Xiaobei scoffed. âThe rule in Yellow Wind mountain runs on a first come first serve basis! I saw the Tiger Claw Scythe first and I was going to buy it for my friend! You barged in â thatâs a violation of the rules!â
âThat country bumpkin was the one who said she didnât want it!â Yun Ziqiao snapped. âShe gave it up! Why canât we buy it huh?â
Chen Xiaobei growled at her, âNot only are you commonplace, but you also seem to be missing a large chunk of your brain!â
âMissing a chunk of my brain?!â Yun Ziqiao shrieked in ferocity. âYou are the one whoâs brainless here! Bro Tiannan!!! Look! He insulted me again!â
Chen Xiaobei said, âI was ready to buy the scythe for my friend. My friend only refused it to be polite! At the end of the day, whether we buy it or not is still for me to decide! You donât even know that! If thatâs not a sign of brainlessness, then what is?â
âIâ¦â Yun Ziqiao froze. Her face had darkened considerably.
âThatâs enough, asshole!â Du Tiannan barked. âYou said that you saw the scythe first, but who can be witness to that? Thereâs no proof! I can also very easily say that you were the one who cut in and broke the rules!â
Chen Xiaobei turned his eyes to the shopkeeper and asked, âBoss, are you still not going to say anything about this?â
âIâ¦â The shopkeeper was unaccommodating. âMy⦠memory is not very good. I remember⦠I think⦠Young Master Du came first!â
Du Tiannan had the Divine Fist Sect behind him. No one would refuse to give face to the Du family.
By comparison, Chen Xiaobei was just a nameless commoner.
Thus, while there were many witnesses around, none of them were willing to offend Du Tiannan for Chen Xiaobeiâs sake.
Du Tiannan jutted his chin self-congratulatorily. âDid you hear that, dumbass? I came first! You have three seconds to get out of here or else, Iâll get the regulatory affairs manager and get him to kick you out!â
Chen Xiaobei nearly broke into laughter. âRegulatory affairs manager? Are you talking about Liu Xiaosi?â
âLiu Xiaosi?â Du Tiannan shouted. âIs something wrong with you? Master Liu Si is Yellow Windâs pillar! How dare you so disrespectfully call him Liu Xiaosi? Youâre a dead man! Youâre dead for sure!â
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. âLiu Xiaosi! If you want to become a half-cripple, then continue to hide in the crowd and watch!â
âHuh?â Master Liu Si quickly scurried over. âSir, please donât misunderstand! I was distracted and replying to some messages just now! I was not just standing in the crowd, watching and doing nothing! You have to believe me, sir!â
Du Tiannanâs jaw fell open.
Everyone else was just as dumbfounded.
Who would dare believe that Master Liu Si would actually come running at Chen Xiaobeiâs call?
What was more inconceivable was the way Master Liu Si spoke so respectfully and so nonchalantly to Chen Xiaobei.
What was so special about this Chen Xiaobei?
It was very unlikely that Chen Xiaobei was the owner of this black market, right?
The conversation had Du Tiannan, Yun Ziqiao, and the shopkeeper feel a chill run down their spine.
âMaster⦠Master Siâ¦â The shopkeeper gulped, wiping his sweat-ridden brow with his sleeve.
Smack!
Master Liu Si stared the shopkeeper down and gave him a hard slap across the face. âDonât you know the rules of the Yellow Wind black market? Donât you know the masterâs temper?â
âI didnât know that you are here, Master Si⦠I realize I am wrong now⦠Master Si, please⦠please be lenient and have mercy on meâ¦â The shopkeeper plopped down onto the ground and repeatedly thumped his head on the floor.
âThereâs no point for you to beg me!â Master Liu Si hissed. âIf this Childe chooses not to spare you, I will have to deal with this in accordance to the rules â destroy your cultivation, and ban you from Yellow Wind black market forever!â
The shopkeeper exhaled, and bowed to Chen Xiaobei crying, âChilde! Have mercy! I was ignorant! Please just give me one chance⦠pleaseâ¦.â
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. âI can do that but Iâm hoping you can give me a 100% discount on this Tiger Claw Scythe!â
â100%?â The shopkeeper nodded profusely. âNo problem! This scythe is free! Consider it as my gift to you!â
âAlright! Good!â Chen Xiaobei smiled and handed the scythe to Su Xiaoman. âHere you go, Xiaoman!â
Su Xiaoman accepted the Tiger Claw Scythe with both hands stiffly held out. Having never set her hands on something of such value, she was nervous and happy, her heart racing wildly in her chest.
âMaster Si⦠Iâ¦â The shopkeeper imploringly looked at Master Liu Si.
âConsider yourself lucky!â Master Liu Si hissed. âNext time, conduct your business by the book! If you commit outrages like this again, I will not be so forgiving!â
âYes, yes, yesâ¦â The shopkeeper quickly scurried back into his burrow. He would not dare to show his face again.
âChilde! How should we deal with these two idiots?â Master Liu Si asked.
Du Tiannan and Yun Ziqiaoâs chests tightened, afraid that Chen Xiaobei was going to retaliate unsparingly.
But Chen Xiaobei merely shrugged. âIâm feeling pretty good today. So, I wonât bother myself with the two of you! Give yourself ten slaps, hard enough that I can hear it. Then, weâll consider this matter settled!â
