Chapter 66: Ruthless Means
"Master." The attendant behind him stepped forward and said in a low voice, "One thousand yuan of Qi Dan is already half of our wealth. If we fight with others, it's really not worth it. Moreover, if the old master finds out, Master will also be punished."
Qian Xue's eyes narrowed as he recalled his father's furious appearance, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear, suddenly hesitating.
Xia Chen sneered, "What's wrong? Don't want to compete anymore? Want to give up now? Are you still a man or not? I really look down on you!"
Qian Xueming's face turned bright red with rage, glaring at Xia Chen, his heart filled with hatred, gritting his teeth and saying: "Do you think I'm afraid of you? Let's continue, Uncle Yang, bring out 1,500 yuan worth of Qi Dan, I want to smash this bastard to death!"
Yang Shu's face showed a difficult expression, and he said in a low voice: "Young master, don't be impulsive, he is trying to provoke you!"
Qian Xueming angrily said: "I let you take it, today I'll bet on this breath, just don't believe that my Qian family can't compare to this country bumpkin."
Yang Shu sighed, took out eight more cloth bags and placed them on the table. He thought to himself: I hope the young master can't compete with this person, so he can take back these Yuanqi Dan. Although he would lose face, at least he wouldn't suffer any financial loss.
In the blink of an eye, Baibao Pavilion had finished verifying the number of Yuanqi Dans. Everyone's attention was once again focused on Xia Chen. One thousand five hundred Yuanqi Dans was already a huge sum, and it was unknown whether this young man could still hold on.
Only to see Xia Chen slowly taking out bag after bag from his bosom, one by one, and no one knows how many bags of Yuanqi Dan are hidden under that cloak, leaving everyone speechless.
Until the eighth bag was placed on the table, Xia Chen finally stopped: "You're too weak to beg for food, I don't have the heart to play with you anymore, just send you back home directly, 1,800 Yuanqi Dan, check the quantity!"
Everyone's mind was shaken and buzzing, being blown up by Xia Chen's heavy bomb.
One thousand eight hundred yuanqi dan, even if placed in a large sect would be a fortune, how much spiritual medicine would it take to refine.
Lili's eyes were filled with little stars, gazing at Xia Chen with adoration. She thought to herself: "Embroidered pillowcase, you've really surprised me! I don't know whose young master you are, or if you're married yet. Fine, even if it means being a concubine, this girl is willing!"
The manager's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself: Ah, big customer! My Baibao Pavilion can only prosper if I can win this person over. Then I'll have a chance to become the deputy pavilion master!
Qian Xue's face turned black as a pot bottom, his eyes became bloodshot. Now he could only surpass Xia Chen if he took out all his family property. But if he used all the yuanqi dan to buy just one VIP, what would he do next? Just stare blankly at others trading while doing nothing himself?
But if he were to give up now, it would be a complete loss of face; how could he bear it, his teeth clenched in anger.
Suddenly, Yang Shu grabbed Qian Xueming's arm and said to Xia Chen: "Your strength is impressive, we admit defeat, let's leave now."
"Uncle Yang! I didn't lose, why should I leave?" Qian Xueming struggled to say.
"Master, follow me and don't fall for his trickery. You're no match for him." Yang Shu said anxiously.
He could vaguely feel Xia Chen's unfathomable depth, and was probably led into the other person's trap from the very beginning.
Qian Xueming gazed at Xia Chen with an unresigned glare, his heart involuntarily wavering.
Xia Chen said faintly, "Beggar, I'm really disappointed in you. I thought you had some money, but now it seems that you're just a poor devil after all. Never mind, I don't want my Yuanqi Dan anymore. Consider it a reward for you. You won't have any great achievements in this lifetime anyway."
Qian Xue's face changed drastically, Xia Chen's sarcasm was like a sharp needle that pierced his last bit of hesitation, making him shout with red eyes: "Country bumpkin, you dare to look down on me? I'll compete with you to the end, I don't believe you still have Yuanqi Dan!"
He shouted loudly: "Yang Shu, give me the Yuan Qi Dan!"
"Master! Don't be impulsive!" Yang Shu's face looked unpleasant.
"How dare you disobey me?" Qian Xueming shouted loudly.
Yang Shu reluctantly pulled out five bags and handed them to Qian Xueming. He gave Xia Chen a hateful glance, thinking that you'd better not play tricks on our young master, otherwise, I'll make you die miserably!
Qian Xueming took over the bag and suddenly poured everything onto the table, shouting: "Two thousand yuan worth of Qi Dan!"
Everyone was shocked and stared at him. It was clear to everyone that Qian Xueming had staked his all, and the two thousand yuan worth of Qi Dan was probably his entire fortune.
Xia Chen revealed a ruthless smile, he repeatedly taunted and provoked Qian Xueming, this was exactly the effect he wanted, since Qian Xueming dared to come and provoke him, Xia Chen would not let him off.
He reached into his bosom and pulled out two cloth bags, placing them on the table.
Everyone stared at him, their breathing almost stopped. Now Xia Chen and Qian Xue Ming both took out 2,000 yuan of Qi Dan, it was already a tie. The only difference was whether Xia Chen could still take out Yuan Qi Dan or not.
Xia Chen once again reached into his bosom, where there was a bottomless hole filled with countless Yuan Qi Pills.
Qian Xue's eyes were fixed on him, his eyes bloodshot, he was now completely exhausted, the two sides were evenly matched, and Xia Chen's only hope was whether he could take out another Yuanqi Dan, which was the bottom line that supported all his confidence.
Can't take it out, can't take it out...... Qian Xue's mind kept muttering to himself, as if he was possessed.
However, the fact still disappointed him, and Xia Chen's hand stretched out again, with another bag of Yuanqi Dan in his hand.
The crowd let out a collective gasp, and everyone looked at Qian Xueming with sympathetic eyes. It seemed that Master Qian was going to lose, and it was truly miserable up until now. Not only had he lost face, but his dignity was also completely gone.
It's all over... Qian Xuecheng's face was wooden, his lips trembling with rage, and he wished he could find a place to hide.
Yang Shu let out a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as the two thousand yuan Qi Dan was not lost, it didn't matter if the young master had lost face.
Suddenly, Xia Chen put the bag of Yuanqi Dan back into his bosom and said slowly: "Sorry, I suddenly don't want to be a noble guest anymore. Let's give it to Qian Gongzi instead. Lili, just arrange an ordinary seat for me."
Qian Xue's face suddenly twisted in distortion, he had exhausted all of his Yuan Qi Dan, yet still couldn't surpass Xia Chen, and was humiliated in public.
But Xia Chen suddenly didn't compare at the last moment, which means that he not only lost all his dignity but also wasted all his Yuan Qi Dan to buy a useless VIP seat!
Everyone was silent, staring at Xia Chen, thinking that this person is really ruthless, trampling on Qian Xue's dignity is not enough, and still wants to make his family bankrupt. Doesn't he fear offending Old Man Qian?
Lili was stunned for a moment, looking at Xia Chen as if she didn't recognize him. At this moment, there wasn't even half a bit of disdain in her heart towards Xia Chen. After a while, she said: "Yes, young master, please follow me."
Xia Chen didn't even glance at Qian Xue Ming, and followed Lili calmly into the hall.
"Bastard! You dare to cheat me, what's your name? The Qian family will never let you go." Qian Xueming suddenly roared with rage, having lost both money and face today, his intense anger almost made him lose his mind.
Xia Chen didn't respond to him at all, and didn't even turn her head back.
"Despicable!" Qian Xue's face turned red with rage, and he felt his blood rushing up, about to burst forth. Yang Shu hastily grabbed hold of him: "Young Master, don't be impulsive, let's return and report to the Old Master. Today's grievance will definitely be avenged tenfold, a hundredfold."
The old face of Fang Guan's family blossomed like a flower, and he smiled: "Qian Gongzi, it is not allowed to make trouble in the trading hall. If you two have any disputes, you can settle them after leaving the trading floor."
Qian Xue's Adam's apple was trembling violently, and it took him half a day to swallow the air in his throat. His teeth were almost crushed, and he squeezed out a few words: "Good, I'll wait. As long as this guy is still in Yunyang, I'll make him eat as much as I want, and spit out as much as I want."
Fang Guan thought to himself that even if you and he were to perish together, it had nothing to do with them. Smiling, he pulled out a gold card from his pocket: "Qian Gongzi, this is your VIP card, please keep it well."
Qian Xue's name almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and he fiercely grabbed the VIP card that cost 2,000 yuan to buy, and left with Yang Shu in hatred.
Under Lili's guidance, Xia Chen sat in the most central seat, where the view was broad and could see the situation on the trading floor to the greatest extent.
Even with her eyes closed, Xia Chen could feel the fiery and inquiring gaze coming from behind her.
These eyes were filled with greed and calculation.
Xia Chen secretly sneered to himself, knowing that the previous comparison with Qian Xue Ming had revealed a large amount of Yuan Qi Dan, which had already sparked greed in others. He was afraid that after today's transaction was completed, there would be no lack of trouble coming to his door, and he would have to make a big move to deal with it.
Since the massacre in Fenglin City, Xia Chen's methods have become more ruthless. His understanding of the Great Way being emotionless has also deepened. Anyway, now that he is alone and has concealed his true identity, no one recognizes him, so he can do as he pleases!
"Brother Dao's method just now was truly good, punishing that Qian Xueming was a great joy to the heart, I admire you." Suddenly, an old voice came from beside him.
Xia Chen opened his eyes to find an old man sitting next to him, smiling faintly and saying, "Hehe, it's nothing, just that Qian Xue Ming brought trouble upon himself."
"Isn't the Taoist friend afraid of the Qian family's revenge?" The old man said, "Qian Xue's name may not be anything, but his father Qian Li is a genuine post-heavenly seventh-level master, and Qian Li is extremely protective of his son. Since you've dealt with his only child, you'd better be careful."
Xia Chen nodded slightly: "Thank you for telling me, it's nothing, I have my own precautions."
The old man was surprised to see that he wasn't afraid at all, and thought to himself: This person dares to provoke the Qian family, so he must have a strong backing, and is not to be underestimated.
Xia Chen also stopped speaking, and silently operated his true energy to practice his skills.
