“You… You, You, You…” Yun Ziqiao screamed, red-faced. “Bro Tiannan! This asshole is bullying me!”
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!“You callous son of a bitch!” Du Tiannan stood in front of Yun Ziqiao protectively, glaring at Chen Xiaobei. “How dare you bully Ziqiao meimei! You disrespect me!”
Chen Xiaobei hissed, “Did you show me any respect when you snatched the Tiger Claw Scythe away?”
“What the hell are you that you’re worthy of our respect?” Du Tiannan chided in a patronizing tone. “Were we not in Yellow Wind now, I would have slapped you a hundred times!”
“Heh, at least you are aware that this is Yellow Wind!” Chen Xiaobei scoffed. “The 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 – that’s a violation of the rules!”
“That country bumpkin was the one who said she didn’t want it!” Yun Ziqiao snapped. “She gave it up! Why can’t we buy it huh?”
Chen Xiaobei growled at her, “Not only are you commonplace, but you also seem to be missing a large chunk of your brain!”
“Missing a chunk of my brain?!” Yun Ziqiao shrieked in ferocity. “You are the one who’s brainless here! Bro Tiannan!!! Look! He insulted me again!”Chen Xiaobei said, “I 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 don’t even know that! If that’s not a sign of brainlessness, then what is?”
“I…” Yun Ziqiao froze. Her face had darkened considerably.
“That’s enough, asshole!” Du Tiannan barked. “You said that you saw the scythe first, but who can be witness to that? There’s no proof! I can also very easily say that you were the one who cut in and broke the rules!”
Chen Xiaobei turned his eyes to the shopkeeper and asked, “Boss, are you still not going to say anything about this?”
“I…” The shopkeeper was unaccommodating. “My… memory is not very good. I remember… I think… Young Master Du came first!”
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 Xiaobei’s sake.
Du Tiannan jutted his chin self-congratulatorily. “Did you hear that, dumbass? I came first! You have three seconds to get out of here or else, I’ll get the regulatory affairs manager and get him to kick you out!”
Chen Xiaobei nearly broke into laughter. “Regulatory affairs manager? Are you talking about Liu Xiaosi?”
“Liu Xiaosi?” Du Tiannan shouted. “Is something wrong with you? Master Liu Si is Yellow Wind’s pillar! How dare you so disrespectfully call him Liu Xiaosi? You’re a dead man! You’re dead for sure!”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “Liu Xiaosi! If you want to become a half-cripple, then continue to hide in the crowd and watch!”
“Huh?” Master Liu Si quickly scurried over. “Sir, please don’t 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!”
Du Tiannan’s jaw fell open.
Everyone else was just as dumbfounded.
Who would dare believe that Master Liu Si would actually come running at Chen Xiaobei’s 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.
“Master… Master Si…” 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. “Don’t you know the rules of the Yellow Wind black market? Don’t you know the master’s temper?”
“I didn’t know that you are here, Master Si… I realize I am wrong now… Master Si, please… please be lenient and have mercy on me…” The shopkeeper plopped down onto the ground and repeatedly thumped his head on the floor.
“There’s no point for you to beg me!” Master Liu Si hissed. “If this Childe chooses not to spare you, I will have to deal with this in accordance to the rules – destroy your cultivation, and ban you from Yellow Wind black market forever!”
The shopkeeper exhaled, and bowed to Chen Xiaobei crying, “Childe! Have mercy! I was ignorant! Please just give me one chance… please….”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “I can do that but I’m hoping you can give me a 100% discount on this Tiger Claw Scythe!”
“100%?” The shopkeeper nodded profusely. “No problem! This scythe is free! Consider it as my gift to you!”
“Alright! Good!” Chen Xiaobei smiled and handed the scythe to Su Xiaoman. “Here you go, Xiaoman!”
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.
“Master Si… I…” The shopkeeper imploringly looked at Master Liu Si.
“Consider yourself lucky!” Master Liu Si hissed. “Next time, conduct your business by the book! If you commit outrages like this again, I will not be so forgiving!”
“Yes, yes, yes…” The shopkeeper quickly scurried back into his burrow. He would not dare to show his face again.
“Childe! How should we deal with these two idiots?” Master Liu Si asked.
Du Tiannan and Yun Ziqiao’s chests tightened, afraid that Chen Xiaobei was going to retaliate unsparingly.
But Chen Xiaobei merely shrugged. “I’m feeling pretty good today. So, I won’t bother myself with the two of you! Give yourself ten slaps, hard enough that I can hear it. Then, we’ll consider this matter settled!”
