"Lin Changqing, Master Liu from the Divine Weapon Pavilion has come to see you. Why aren't you coming out to welcome him..."
Before anyone even reached the gate, Lin Dashan's bootlicking voice had already carried over, making Lin Hu grit his teeth in fury once more.
If Lin Changqing had not stopped him with a look, he would have rushed over and given Lin Dashan a few kicks.
That bastard never did anything proper in the village, yet now he was leading the Divine Weapon Pavilion here to make trouble for Lin Changqing.
And he was still barking threats at them without end. He was simply courting death.
Lin Changqing said nothing.
He merely narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the group from the Divine Weapon Pavilion approach under Lin Dashan's lead.
"Young Master Lin!"
At that moment, the Middle-aged Man spoke first. He gave Lin Changqing a genial smile and said, "I am Liu Yantao, a steward of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
I came under the orders of our Shopkeeper to discuss something with Young Master Lin..."
"Oh!"
Lin Changqing gave a light laugh. With a calm expression and an amused look on his face, he looked at Liu Yantao and said, "Chen San sent you here. What does he want to discuss with me?"
"This... Young Master Lin, this isn't a convenient place to talk. How about we speak somewhere else?"
Liu Yantao looked toward Lin Changqing's courtyard.
Naturally, Lin Changqing had no intention of letting him inside. He immediately waved a hand and said, "There is nothing inconvenient about it. Mr. Lin sits upright and stands straight.
There is nothing I cannot say before others. Whatever you want, just say it..."
"This!"
Liu Yantao immediately frowned, displeasure rising within him.
In his eyes, Lin Changqing had merely stumbled upon a bit of fortune and caught the eye of a Divine Weapon Forger. At heart, he was still a Country Bumpkin, yet he actually dared refuse to give him face.
He was truly courting death!
Hmph, once I bring the Divine Weapon Forger behind him to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, let's see how I deal with him.
Liu Yantao gave a cold snort inwardly, but his face remained full of smiles. "Young Master Lin is indeed forthright. Since that is the case, Liu will not beat around the bush.
Our Shopkeeper knows that there is a Divine Weapon Forger behind Young Master Lin.
Therefore, he wishes to ask Young Master Lin to make the introduction and recommend him."
As he spoke!
Liu Yantao paused briefly. After sizing Lin Changqing up without showing it, he continued, "Of course, we will not have you work for nothing.
As long as you are willing to make the introduction, the Divine Weapon Pavilion is willing to offer one thousand taels of silver as an introduction fee..."
"One thousand taels of silver!"
The instant Liu Yantao said this, everyone was stunned. Lin Dashan cried out in disbelief.
His eyes nearly bulged from their sockets as he looked at Lin Changqing, his expression filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
That was a thousand taels!
If he had received those thousand taels of silver, it would have been enough for him to live happily for the rest of his life.
But why had such a fine opportunity fallen to Lin Changqing instead?
Damn it, this guy really stepped in dog shit and got lucky.
Lin Dashan cursed internally.
At this moment!
Liu Yantao gave a light laugh and looked at Lin Changqing. "Well, Young Master Lin? The sincerity of our Divine Weapon Pavilion is quite sufficient, isn't it?"
"Mm, it truly isn't bad."
Lin Changqing pinched his chin and nodded. "However, I am in a bad mood right now. This Lin Dashan makes me lose my appetite the moment I see him.
Deal with him first, then we can discuss anything else..."
"Lin Changqing, are you tired of living?!"
Lin Dashan roared at once.
He made as if to pounce on Lin Changqing.
Bang...
Yet at that very moment, Liu Yantao suddenly moved. He sent Lin Dashan flying with a single kick.
Then he shouted furiously, "What are you? How dare you disrespect Young Master Lin! Men... throw him far away.
I do not want to see him."
"Yes!"
The moment Liu Yantao finished speaking, two Guards immediately stepped out. One on each side, they seized Lin Dashan and dragged him away.
"Master Liu, no... Master Liu..."
Lin Dashan was frightened senseless. Blood seeped from his coughing mouth as he begged desperately.
Unfortunately, from beginning to end, no one paid him any heed.
Only Lin Hu spat at him and sneered. "Serves you right. This is what happens when you act like someone else's dog."
"Young Master Lin, can we talk now?"
Liu Yantao looked at Lin Changqing and said coldly, "I have already had him thrown away. You only need to make the connection, and we will immediately present the one thousand taels of silver.
At the same time, you will gain the friendship of our Divine Weapon Pavilion..."
"It really is quite good."
Lin Changqing smiled and nodded. "However, I still refuse. I, Lin Changqing, treat money like dung. Trying to corrupt me with silver is absolutely impossible."
Fuck me!
The moment Lin Changqing said this, everyone present could not help rolling their eyes.
Couldn't he at least act a little more convincingly when saying something like that? It was far too exaggerated.
"Young Master Lin, I advise you to think this over carefully."
Liu Yantao's expression immediately darkened as he said coldly, "The Divine Weapon Pavilion has always been clear about gratitude and grudges.
If we cannot be friends, then we are enemies.
Young Master Lin, whether you wish to be a friend or an enemy of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the choice is yours..."
"I choose your mother!"
Lin Changqing's gaze turned cold as he shouted furiously.
What he hated most in this life was being threatened. Liu Yantao was merely a dog of Chen San, the Divine Weapon Pavilion's Shopkeeper.
Yet he actually dared threaten him. Who gave him the courage?
"Get lost!"
Lin Changqing roared and threw a fierce punch at Liu Yantao.
Five Elements Fist: Tiger Fist.
Roar, roar...
As Lin Changqing threw this punch, his fist force surged like a flood, erupting with a furious roar like a tiger's howl. It was as though even the air had been shattered along with it.
It exploded with crackling sounds of breaking air.
"Eighth Rank? How is that possible..."
Liu Yantao's face changed dramatically as he cried out in disbelief.
Only when Lin Changqing attacked did he finally sense the vast power of Lin Changqing's Qi and Blood. This was absolutely an Eighth Rank Martial Artist who had surpassed the Ninth Rank, whose Qi and Blood had entered his muscles and bones.
Only such a person could shatter the air with a single punch.
Almost instinctively, Liu Yantao tried to dodge.
But he could not.
Lin Changqing's punch fused with the power of the mind and directly locked onto his aura. There was no way he could evade it.
He could only take it head-on.
"Damn it!"
Gritting his teeth, Liu Yantao threw a punch of his own, hoping to block Lin Changqing's fist force.
Boom... Bang...
The force of their fists collided, and invisible shockwaves swept outward.
The air burst apart one after another. Sand and stones flew in all directions, while savage Ravines like spiderwebs were gouged across the ground.
Then came a crisp crack of breaking bone.
Liu Yantao's entire arm twisted like a pretzel. His muscles and bones shattered, piercing through his skin.
Blood gushed wildly.
"Ah..."
With a scream, Liu Yantao was sent flying nearly thirty meters before smashing heavily into the ground.
Then, with another puff, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He stared at Lin Changqing in disbelief. "How can he be so strong..."
An Eighth Rank Martial Artist, with Qi-Blood Tempering Bones.
Two-Thousand Jin Strength.
Yet the power of Lin Changqing's punch was far beyond two thousand jin. It likely would not stop even at ten thousand jin! This kid was simply a monster.
"Go back and tell Chen San that this time is only a lesson. If there is a next time, it will not be so easy."
Lin Changqing swept his gaze over the utterly stunned Liu Yantao and shouted angrily, "Get the hell out of here right now..."
