Chapter 138: Their Own Scripts

  After entering the room, Zhang Shan found that the space inside was extremely vast. It would be more accurate to say it was a workshop rather than a room.

  Inside, a dozen or so young men were each doing their own thing, while a thin middle-aged man in his forties stood in the center of the courtyard supervising their work.

  "Master Wang, the guest has arrived."

  Lian Zhanggui took a few steps forward and nodded at the middle-aged man, behind Zhang Shan's back, his hand made a fist.

  The middle-aged man nodded slightly and then looked up at Zhang Shan.

  Lian Zhanggui stepped aside and introduced him to Zhang Shan: "This is the chief instrument maker of our temple, with the surname Wang and a single name Zhi."

  "The name Wang Dashi is quite rare, at first glance I thought it was a prince from some country."

  Zhang Shan nodded at him and laughed.

  "It's actually true, Master Wang was originally a prince of the Moon Wheel Kingdom, which belongs to this school."

  Lian Zhuangui smiled and continued.

  "Oh, as far as I know, thirty years ago the Moon Wheel Kingdom had a change of power. So it seems that Master Wang was originally from the exiled former royal family."

  At this time, Yuan Keyi, who was standing beside Zhang Shan, suddenly interjected.

  "That's right, Wang Zhi is the name I changed later, it's a homophone of Prince Wang, to remind myself of my identity as the prince of the Moon Wheel Kingdom. One day, I will surely exterminate the rebels and restore my royal lineage."

  His eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he gritted his teeth and said.

  "This person has devoted himself to the Seven Treasures Pavilion, isn't he thinking of using this to restore his country?"

  Zhang Shan thought about this idea in his mind and felt it was very possible, but it had nothing to do with him. Moreover, it was likely that this person would also be one of the opponents in today's killing game.

  "Let's get straight to the point. I heard from Lian Zhuangui that there was a small problem with the Ling Jia I had Master Wang repair?" Zhang Shan asked, looking directly at Wang Zhi.

  "It's indeed the case, that mysterious loss of the Ling Jia. I was thinking of discussing with you, Young Master, whether to compensate with an equivalent amount of Ling Shi or to reforge a new one for our guest?"

  The king pointed at him and nodded his hands, then told what had happened.

  "Lost?"

  Zhang Shan's gaze swept across Lian Zhanggui and Wang Zhi's face, then his expression changed as he said:

  "Are you two joking? The Seven Treasures Pavilion is not an ordinary small workshop, and the pavilion should be heavily guarded. To say that I lost my spiritual armor, this is unlikely, isn't it?"

  "This cabinet is very sorry about this, but the fact is that way, so please forgive us, young master. Why don't we help you refine a new one? Also made from spider silk, guaranteed to be exactly the same as before." The shopkeeper said with a fake smile.

  "Hmph, refining a new one? Alright, but the material for my Ling Jia is made from the spider silk of the Ice Fire Spider. Don't even think about cheating me with ordinary spider silk." Zhang Shan said coldly.

  Lian Zhanggui's face changed: "Young master, you're joking. Although the responsibility for losing things lies with my Qiaoju Pavilion, what you said is taking advantage of the fire to loot."

  Zhang Shan hummed and said: "Boss Lian, when I delivered the goods to you, you personally received them. You should have some understanding of what kind of material it is."

  Lian Zhanggui calmly said: "I'm not good at refining equipment, and at the time I didn't notice that the material was any different from ordinary spider silk."

  "Huh? As the boss of Qi Cuo Ge, your eyesight is so bad? Alright, even if you can't see it, Master Wang will be able to see it, right?" Zhang Shan said angrily.

  "If the Ling Jia had fallen into my hands, I would have indeed been able to see it for myself. However, that piece of Ling Jia was stolen before it even reached my hands, so whether what Young Master said is true or not is hard to say." Wang said calmly.

  "This thing I didn't lie about, you can find someone familiar with the internal affairs of the Tianzong sect to ask, many people should know what happened after I hunted and killed the spider in the Sub-Mountain Valley Spider Cave, this spiritual armor is made from the silk of the spider's abdomen."

  Zhang Shan's face sank, and he sneered coldly: "Because two more sect disciples died in this matter, it's easy to ask around and get the news, maybe even the shopkeeper has heard about it, don't pretend with me anymore."

  "That's right, many disciples of various sects know about that matter, and I've also heard about it. What Brother Shang said is not false." Yuan Keyi spoke up to confirm at this time.

  Lian Zhanggui chuckled and said, "You came with him, of course you'll help him speak up for himself. Even if it's fake, you'll make it sound real. But that's only if I believe you."

  He said that to her, Yuan Keyi became indignant: "What do you mean?"

  "What I mean is, you're taking advantage of the situation to extort us!" Lian Zhuo's face turned cold as he said.

  "You, you're so glib!" Yuan Keyi's chest heaved up and down, she was really angry.

  Zhang Shan secretly smiled in his heart, everything was within his plan.

  Qiqiao Pavilion has followed Xing Yuebo's plan and deliberately said that the inner armor was lost, and even refused to admit its value, in order to infuriate Zhang Shan.

  Zhang Shan naturally also began to act according to the predetermined script, showing a step-by-step refusal to give in and a reluctance to let things go smoothly.

  Both sides have ulterior motives, with the intention of resorting to violence, and the only unclear situation is Yuan Keyi. Now Yuan Keyi has also provoked the other side, which is exactly what Zhang Shan wants.

  At that time, Yuan Keyi will definitely prove to be the fault of Qi Cuo Ge, and her testimony is very beneficial to Zhang Shan, this is the purpose of Zhang Shan's hard work to bring her.

  The first testimony of Huang Yanfeng's Qianjin is indeed weighty.

  Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhang Shan pretended to be furious and said: "Surnamed Lian, are you guys from Qi Cuo Ge planning not to admit your debt? Do you believe I'll demolish this broken shop of yours?"

  Lian Zhanggui was overjoyed when he saw him furious, and the purpose of provoking his opponent seemed to be almost achieved, just add a little more fuel.

  He sneered and spat, "Demolish my shop? You two dogs don't even dare to look in the mirror, yet you think you can come to Qi Cuo Ge and act wildly?"

  "Who did you say is a loser?"

  Before Zhang Shan could retort, Yuan Keyi couldn't take it anymore and burst into a tender but angry scolding.

  "Look at you two, you're clearly a pair of thieves and prostitutes. What's it to you? Let me tell you, the Qi Cuo Pavilion is not to be trifled with."

  The shopkeeper deliberately provoked trouble, cursing viciously with his mouth, without any courtesy.

  Zhang Shan secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart. You're really powerful, Old Qiu should give you a raise.

  Yuan Keyi was already so angry that her whole body was shaking, and if someone had scolded that girl as a prostitute at that moment, she would not have been able to hold back from exploding.

  She suddenly held a talisman in her hand, which turned into flying ash, and then a bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air in the house, striking down at Lian Zhanggui.

  Lian Zhanggui's eyes flashed, and after sensing the power of the thunder and lightning, his body didn't dodge or evade, but instead tilted his head to the side, allowing the thunder and lightning to strike him directly.

  A loud explosion sounded, and even half of Zhang's clothes were blown black.

  "How dare you lay hands on me here? Are you tired of living? Do you know who's backing this place?"

  Lian Zhenggui smiled faintly.

  Zhang Shan smiled and said: "Then tell me, who is backing this place?"

  "This is where Laozi hangs out, what's that son of a bitch doing coming here to cause trouble?"

  As this sound rose, a person walked in from outside the door.
