Chapter 475: Benefiting from the Miao Family
Chapter 475: Benefiting from the Miao Family
When he said this, various scenes of Wu Jinliang kneeling down appeared in his mind, either kneeling down and calling someone "daddy" or kneeling down and calling someone "mom".
For this sentence, in the brief silence, he had already thought about the various consequences he would face.
After saying this, he also quickly weighed the pros and cons. Is it more important to have an "arm" of his own, or to appease the other party? After thinking about the value, he obviously chose the former.
In fact, he was forced by Wu Jinliang to make a choice. Wu Jinliang's attitude was so firm that he could only choose one of the two.
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Feng Chi was very surprised. Was he going to confront Gong Shaoci? Could he afford to offend her? Could he afford to offend her?
But she quickly regained her composure and had no intention of trying to mediate, because she felt that Shi Chun was not an impulsive person, but a very realistic person who could distinguish between the pros and cons. Since Shi Chun decided to do this, she believed that Shi Chun must have his own confidence.
The one who was really anxious was Xiang Lan'er, who was watching from the outside. She wondered if Shi Chun was out of his mind today. Not only had he just blasphemed her, but now he was trying to be tough with Gong Shaoci. Was he taking the wrong medicine?
The matter of 'Broken Wasteland Blade' is about to be resolved. If a conflict like this happens at this juncture, what if it causes major delays?
She was considering whether to intervene, but it was not in line with the personality she always showed to the outside world. She hesitated and pondered, what should she do?
The Mingshan Sect's group was stunned for just a moment, and then responded collectively. Chu Jingtang was the first to unleash his weapons, and the others immediately unleashed their weapons and gathered around again.
In this situation, Duan Xiangmei looked around. Half of her face was swollen so fast that one of her eyes could hardly open. She seemed ashamed to face people. She took the initiative to shrink behind Wu Jinliang, as if afraid of being seen. She grabbed the corner of Wu Jinliang's clothes from behind, entangled her ten fingers tightly, and big tears rolled down her cheeks.
I cried, but didn't dare cry out loud.
Before she met Wu Jinliang, she was just a hired handyman, ordered around and endured many humiliations, but no one would stand up for her.
Today, the person I love stands in front of me.
There was also a group of people standing up for her. This was a scenario she had never imagined before. It turned out that she was also very important in the eyes of some people.
She almost cried to death. She was afraid of being seen, so she lowered her head as low as possible, but she couldn't hide the falling tears.
She also felt very guilty, knowing that she might have caused big trouble for everyone this time.
Wu Jinliang's breathing became a little unstable and he clenched his teeth. Shi Chun forced himself on him, but he felt ashamed. He knew that he had caused great trouble for the boss this time.
But he was also touched. At the real critical moment, the boss still stood on his side, and he kept his lips tight.
Gong Shaoci and his group were also stunned when they were in a standoff, especially Lei Ying. They didn't expect Shi Chun to be so bold as to not give Gong Shao face in public. Did he not know Gong Shao's family background? Impossible.
However, Shi Chun’s personal involvement is different from that of other people, and the influence is incomparable.
Without permission, Lei Ying did not dare to do anything to Shi Chun. After all, he knew that Shi Chun had a good relationship with the Miao family, and the Miao family also knew that he knew it. If he dared to do anything to Shi Chun knowing this, he would be suspected of slapping the Miao family in the face, and he was afraid that it would ruin the good things for the master and the Miao family. After all, Miao Dingyi had not yet agreed to the marriage, and maybe it was all a mistake.
Besides, Gong Shao is still on friendly terms with Shi Chun. If he wants to deal with Shi Chun, he has to follow Gong Shao's instructions.
So he turned around and looked at Gong Shaoci.
At this time, Gong Shaoci's face turned gloomy again. He didn't expect that Shi Chun would dare to ignore him and refuse to tell the buyer, but now he dared to confront him. What the hell? Did he really think he didn't dare to do anything?
He was silent for a while, then slowly spoke, "I didn't hear you clearly, what are you talking about?"
Shi Chun flipped his hand and grabbed a scarlet knife with green clouds on the blade. When the knife came out and he cast a spell, many people present felt their blood boiling and their spirits rippling.
This attracted many people's attention, and they all realized that this knife was extraordinary.
At the same time, the 'Jiaoxianling' handkerchief was also grabbed in the other hand, ready to open the net bag to the group of people opposite at any time.
He got ready to explain to Gong Shaoci, "Brother Gong, this guy came to my place and beat me up. He hurt my people, and I need an explanation. For Brother Gong's sake, as long as he apologizes, this matter will be over. Otherwise, it will be a fight to the death."
Seeing this, Wu Jinliang flipped his hand and scooped up another big gourd, ready to cooperate with Shi Chun at any time.
Gong Shaoci's eyes turned cold, his lips were pursed into a line, and he stared at Shi Chun.
He really didn't expect that the scum that he had looked down upon before would dare to bite him.
Lei Ying, who was observing the expressions of others, said jokingly, "A fight to the bitter end? Do you think too highly of yourself?"
Shi Chun said indifferently, "You have never been to the Land of Exile. I am not afraid of death. I can't even count how many times I have crawled out of a pile of dead bodies. I am best at fighting with all my strength. Today I am putting my words here. Either you apologize sincerely or you kill me. If you can't kill me today, I don't mind offering a reward for your entire family's lives with the secret method of finding the sacred fire. I will never stop until your entire family is wiped out!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Chi's eyes lit up. This was the way of magic in her mind, which would not be weak when facing a strong opponent.
When the Mingshan Sect heard this, the slight uneasiness in their hearts was thrown out of their minds at this moment, and their morale and energy became extremely united and fearless at this moment.
Lei Ying's expression changed three times.
Looking for the secret method of the divine fire? He would understand how valuable this thing is to some people. Some people even dare to slap the face of a person like Qian She. Is it a big deal to kill his whole family?
There was murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Shi Chun, because he really felt threatened.
He had never thought that a small person could threaten him and the lives of his entire family.
If he had thought about it, if he had had even the slightest concern, he would not have acted so decisively before.
The reason why they can act so recklessly is simply because they think the other party cannot pose a threat to them.
But he didn't dare to act rashly and had to wait for Gong Shaoci to make the decision.
Confrontation, silence.
One of Young Master Nan's men quietly stepped aside, took out the mother-child talisman, and made emergency contact with Young Master Nan.
After staring at Shi Chun for a while, Gong Shaoci suddenly said, "Apologize!"
Lei Ying turned her head and looked at him suspiciously, not knowing who he was talking about.
Gong Shaoci stared at him and said coldly: "I asked you to apologize, didn't you hear me?"
Lei Ying was stunned. Although his mind was still a little confused, he did not dare to hesitate, because he knew his master very well. The biggest problem would be to embarrass his master in public and ruin his elegance.
He immediately said to Shi Chun: "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Shi Chun immediately turned sideways, reached out to Wu Jinliang's back, grabbed Duan Xiangmei's arm and pulled her out, pointing at her tearful and swollen face, "Don't apologize to me, apologize to her!"
Lei Ying did not hesitate and changed her words: "Miss Duan Xiangmei, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
He had never met her before but he could directly mention Duan Xiangmei's name. Isn't this a hidden threat?
Was this apology sincere? Shi Chun did not pursue the matter. The other party had already lowered their posture. He knew that this was the best outcome at the moment. If he continued to argue, he would not be able to end the situation. He immediately shouted at his own people, "Why are you still blocking the way? Why don't you get out of the way?"
So the Mingshan Sect's group quickly gave way.
Gong Shaoci and his group had no intention of staying any longer, so they left immediately. However, when they passed by Shi Chun, Gong Shaoci paused for a moment, glanced at him and said, "You benefited from the Miao family today."
Shi Chun nodded slightly and admitted straightforwardly, "I know."
Of course he knew that his threat was useless to Gong Shaoci. It could scare Lei Ying but not Gong Shaoci.
He also knew that those around Gong Shaoci were all masters, and their cultivation levels were definitely not comparable to those of the disciples from various sects in the Divine Fire Domain. It was possible that any one of them could make them suffer.
The reason why he was determined to fight back was that the other party had to consider the Miao family's reputation and their interest in the 'Broken Wasteland Blade'. If that didn't work, he could only fight with all his magic weapons.
I believe that the Demonic Path will not sit idly by until it obtains the 'Broken Wasteland Blade'.
Gong Shaoci said nothing more, with a cold face, and led his men away.
Many people at the scene felt relieved.
After confirming that the person had left, Shi Chun turned his head to glance at Wu Jinliang, said nothing, put away the weapon in his hand and returned to the room.
As a result, a bunch of people followed him in. Even Xiang Lan'er, who was furious because her pants were stripped off before, put aside her past grudges and went into Shi Chun's room on her own initiative.
With so many people coming in at once, it was quite crowded.
Shi Chun sat down slowly without saying a word.
The crowd parted, and Wu Jinliang and Duan Xiangmei came in last.
Duan Xiangmei, with a swollen face, walked directly to Shi Chun, wiped her tears and apologized, "Boss, I'm sorry, it's my fault that I caused the trouble."
Shi Chun smiled at her and consoled her, "It's okay. You didn't do anything wrong. It has nothing to do with you. Go back and rest first. Jinliang, take her back to rest and tell her not to think too much." He then waved his hands at everyone, "Why are you all crowded here? Go away."
So the group of people dispersed one after another, except for Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi.
Not only did he not leave, but after the group of people left, Feng Chi quickly closed the door.
Shi Chun's gaze fell on Xiang Lan'er again, and his eyes seemed poisonous, making Xiang Lan'er feel uncomfortable all over, as if she had swallowed a fly.
Feng Chi leaned on the door to listen to the outside noise, then quickly walked up to Shi Chun and asked in a low voice: "You were smiling when you came here, but you suddenly got so angry, what's going on?"
Shi Chun: "I didn't sell it to anyone who came to me to buy the 'Broken Wasteland Blade'."
"Ah?" The two women were speechless.
Xiang Lan'er didn't care about the previous conflict and asked anxiously: "Why did he buy that?"
"How would I know?" Shi Chun stood up while speaking, walked to the window and looked out, then retracted his head, walked back and whispered, "He offered 2 billion yuan, but I refused to sell it. I said I had already sold it for 5 billion yuan, and then he asked me to reveal who the buyer was. I refused again, thinking that I didn't give him face, so that's it."
The two girls were thoughtful and realized that this was the case.
Shi Chun continued, "He will most likely want to find out who the buyer is. You should contact them immediately and have them prepare the people and money to trade with me as soon as possible. The amount and source of the money must be traceable and must match. Then I can admit that I can't afford to offend the Gong family and take the initiative to apologize. I can also expose the buyer to them and save you from having to expose them. You can just get rid of the buyer before he finds one. You should be good at this kind of thing, right?"
Feng Chi hummed, and then said: "You should ask Master Nan to withdraw his people. I can understand that he has good intentions, but his people can follow you directly, which makes it inconvenient for me to contact the higher-ups."
Shi Chun: "I'll tell him. By the way, I suspect the Gong family is related to the evil way, otherwise why would they rush to the 'Broken Wasteland Blade'? Do you think you can ask the higher-ups to deal with the Gong family?"
"Marquis Youbi is the third most important figure in Shanbuzhou. What will happen if his family can be easily eliminated? I will report the situation to the higher-ups..." Before Feng Chi finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside.
Soon there was a knock on the door, and Master Nan's voice, "Brother Chun, are you there?"
Shi Chun winked at the two girls, who left immediately and opened the door to welcome the guests.
Young Master Nan nodded slightly to the two people who left, closed the door, and quickly walked over to Shi Chun and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Why did you fight with Gong Shaoci?"
He had just heard about the situation from his subordinates, but he didn't know the cause of the incident.
Shi Chun did not hide the cause from him and told him about Gong Shaoci coming to make the deal.
Young Master Nan was puzzled. "Isn't the thing in my hands? Why did you say you sold it?"
Shi Chun: "Someone wants to offer 5 billion, but it's impossible to sell it for 2 billion."
"How much? Fifty? It's a piece of broken iron. Twenty is already outrageous. Who is so generous?" After being startled, Master Nan saw that Shi Chun didn't want to talk for the time being, and sighed again, "If you think it's too little, we can talk about it later. Why make it so tense? It will be very troublesome to offend him. It may not be easy to ask him for help, but he wants to harm you, but you can't guard against it. There are some people who don't know the seriousness of the matter and want to curry favor with him. I tell you, the more marginal materials each family has, the more face they want. Who would hang out with the decent goods on the table? It's a big deal if they lose face..."
Things have already happened, and there is no point in saying more. After the two of them communicated and explained to each other, Master Nan got up and went to find Gong Shaoci to help find out more.
The room was quiet for a while, and then Wu Jinliang knocked on the door again and came in.
Jingjing sat down in the seat that Master Nan had just sat in, silent and not saying a word, because she truly knew that she was wrong.
He really wanted to admit his mistake, but he couldn't say it out loud. If he didn't really want to admit his mistake, he would have just said it casually.
Shi Chun suddenly broke the silence and said, "The price may be high."
Wu Jinliang hummed, "I was impulsive."
Shi Chun didn't respond. He leaned against the armrest of his chair and rubbed his forehead. He was reflecting on what was going on.
Because what was abnormal today was not only Wu Jinliang, but also himself. In the past, he would never have tried to take off Xiang Lan'er's pants and force his way into her.
After thinking about it, he found the crux of the problem. In the end, he felt that he had the confidence and strength. In the past, when Duan Xiangmei was slapped, Wu Jinliang couldn't stand up even if he wanted to. He had no ability to resist at all, and he didn't even dare to think about it. He didn't even have the courage...
There was a boat on the sea. Two figures emerged from the waves and got on the boat. They were Xiang Lan'er and Feng Chi.
The person on the lone boat is a man in blue.
When the three met, the man in green first expressed the attitude of his superiors, showing his happiness at getting the 'Broken Blade', and expressed great appreciation for Shi Chun. Then he arranged for the handover of the 'Broken Blade' to be carried out, in order to prevent the Stargazing Pavilion from playing the long game.
In short, this handover may involve huge risks, but this risk must be taken.
So Feng Chi told about the conflict between Shi Chun and Gong Shaoci, and praised Shi Chun for his clever response, as he not only dealt with Gong Shaoci, but also paved the way for the higher-ups to take over the treasure.
The man in green frowned after hearing this. "How did he know that the 'Desolate Blade' among the three treasures was what we wanted? You said so?"
The two girls looked at each other, and Xiang Lan'er said, "It must not have been us who said it. Wasn't it the people sent by the higher-ups in the Divine Fire Region who said it?"
The man in green thought for a moment and nodded, "It should be. I don't know the details. All the people sent to cooperate with him have been killed. No one survived. The information obtained by the higher-ups is limited. We only know that they did cooperate with the people sent in and experienced many storms together, but we don't know the details. This is also one of the things I want to tell you this time. You have to ask him to write down a detailed account of what happened in the Divine Fire Territory. The higher-ups want to see it."
Feng Chi's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Xiang Lan'er, and suddenly said with difficulty: "I'm afraid he may not be willing to cooperate with us now."
The man in green asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
What else could it be? After Feng Chi told her about Shi Chun molesting Xiang Lan'er, he sighed and said, "Shi Chun thinks that the young lady doesn't keep her word and seems to think that we are just using him. He has obviously turned away from her. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him in the future."
Xiang Lan'er glanced at her sideways and gritted her teeth. She didn't want to tell this to her superiors because she was afraid that they would ask her to submit to Shi Chun. After all, this was not a big deal to them, otherwise they would not have let her hide in the brothel. They just wanted her to be ready to sacrifice herself at any time. It didn't matter which man it was.
She didn't want to say it, but Feng Chi revealed it unexpectedly. Then her superiors ordered her to do it. Should she apologize to Shi Chun and then pay him back?
Of course, it was normal for people to report truthfully at this time, and she couldn't say anything.
"Well..." The man in green muttered and looked at Xiang Lan'er for a few more times, and finally hummed, "Let the higher-ups decide."
Feng Chi added, "The Gong family will definitely investigate the 5 billion and the people involved in the transaction. Shi Chun is right. We need to ask the higher-ups to arrange the relevant response as soon as possible. It is indeed abnormal that the Gong family was interested in the treasure at the first time. Shi Chun's judgment has always been very accurate. The Gong family is not related to the other two clans, right? It is already known that the thing is in Shi Chun's hands. I am afraid that the other two clans will not be able to resist and take action. There is no time to waste. The longer the night, the more dreams there are. The handover must be done quickly. Master Qing, you must urge the higher-ups to hurry up."
