Chapter 69: The Snake at the Head of the Earth (Part 2)

  "So it was Yuan Huiwen? No wonder, this is a family tradition..."

  After listening to Xun Nan's story, Qin Feng's face showed a look of realization. He was not unfamiliar with this name, as his master Zai Ye had dealings with him before.

  In those years, Zai Yi's family was implicated in the "Zhang Xun Restoration" incident and was driven to Tianjin with a group of old men and women. Zai Yi once lived here for several years.

  That Na Hui, also had a period of indulgence, and even almost joined the Baiyunbian sect with Yuan Huaiwen, but later met his master and left Jin Tian City.

  Later, Zai Yi returned to Tianjin and wanted to persuade Yuan Huiwen to retire from Jianghu, but by then Yuan Huiwen had become a force to be reckoned with and did not take the advice seriously. In those years, Zai Yi was defeated at the hands of his disciples, and behind him, there was also Yuan Huiwen's pushing hand.

  "Cough, what's the point of telling you all this, little brother? Don't stay in my shop for too long, or else someone will come to chase you away. Take whatever you like and consider it a gift from me, but just one thing..."

  After Grandpa passed away, Xiang Nan didn't have any close relatives either. Usually, there was no one to talk to, and after complaining to Qin Feng for half a day, she felt a bit embarrassed.

  This store only sells stationery and does not sell antiques, the things are not very expensive, the most expensive brush is just a thousand or so yuan, Xiangnan can also afford it.

  Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Xing big brother, forget about sending me off, I want to ask you, how much is this shop worth if it's sold?"

  "What's the point of asking these?"

  Xing Nan said disapprovingly: "I'm transferring this store back to Beijing, so everything is being transferred together, at the very least it's worth 700,000 to 800,000, do you want to take over?"

  Xing Nan knew she had offended Yuan Congqi and was afraid he would retaliate if she stayed.

  So apart from the things in the store, there are also some Xuan paper and inkstones in the warehouse that he wants to sell together. Adding up the rent for the house which is renewed every three years, it's almost 100,000 yuan.

  "It's so expensive?" Qin Feng stuck out his tongue like a young boy and said, "Then I won't be able to afford it, Shan Ge, you'd better give it to someone else."

  "I'd like to transfer, but others don't dare to take it either..."

  Xing Nan's face turned gloomy, and although Yuan Congqi hadn't come to smash his shop, he had indeed been harboring the intention of squeezing him out. After spreading the word, not a single family on Antique Street dared to take over his shop.

  "Is that so?" Qin Feng shook his head indifferently, the matter was more or less understood, and it seemed there was no need to stay here any longer.

  Just as Qin Feng was about to go out, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of Wenbaozhai: "Hey, I'm telling you two little guys, what are you doing here?"

  "What business is it of yours?" Qin Feng hadn't even spoken, but Li Tianyuan, who was squatting at the door, stood up with a scowl and said: "Who are you calling 'young punk'? You've never been beaten before, have you?"

  Li Tianyuan, who was squatting on the ground, wasn't very noticeable, but as soon as he stood up, his nearly 1.9-meter-tall frame almost reached the top of the shop's doorway.

  Adding to Li Tianyuan's ferocious appearance, the right side of his head, which was slicked back in a small flathead, had a scar. The two people who were already on the steps were so frightened that their feet went soft and they retreated several steps in a row.

  "With just this bit of guts, you still dare to come out and make trouble?"

  Seeing the two of them, Li Tianyuan burst out laughing. He was the kind of person who would get restless if he didn't fight for three days, and even when carrying heavy packages at the cargo station, he would often pick a fight with the loaders for no reason.

  But since Qin Feng was released from prison, Li Tianyuan had no chance to cause trouble again. Now that he saw someone picking a fight, he suddenly became excited.

  "Hey kid, where are you from? Your accent doesn't sound like Tianjin, do you want to be a dragon that crosses the river?"

  Hearing Li Tianyuan's mocking laughter, the two people who had been scared off suddenly flushed red, their eyes coldly scanning Li Tianyuan's body as if they wanted to see through him.

  "What business do you have with where I'm from? Want to fight, huh? Bring it on!" Li Tianyuan rubbed his palms together and walked towards the two of them. Just as he took two steps forward, he suddenly felt a numbness in his body and almost fell to the ground.

  "Two big brothers, this brother of mine had his brain damaged when he was a kid. You see that scar on his head? That's from when he got hit as a kid..."

  Behind Li Tianyuan, Qin Feng's figure flashed out and hastily explained to the two of them: "After he recovered from his illness, he always wanted to fight with people, this brain is really a bit useless, don't mind it, two brothers!"

  "What's with this foolish-looking guy? Turns out he's actually brainless!"

  After hearing Qin Feng's words, the two of them let out a long sigh. Li Tianyuan's robust physique had also brought some pressure to the two of them earlier. In this day and age, those who mixed in the jianghu were not like they used to be; there really weren't many people who could fight anymore.

  "With a brain like that, you still dare to bring it out?"

  A man with a Guo Fu Cheng-style haircut said, "It's nothing, let's hurry up and go, don't linger around here. If you're sick, just stay at home."

  Li Tianyuan's image was even more like that of a triad, so the two men didn't dare to cause trouble. After scolding Qin Feng a few times, he drove them out of Wenbaozhai.

  "Feng Ge, you... what were you doing dragging me away just now? Those two guys who looked like they were made of firewood, I could have taken them down with one punch each..."

  Dragged by Qin Feng out of the antique street and into an alley, Li Tianyuan began to shout in dissatisfaction. He was just thinking of finding two people to practice the moves he had been practicing for days, but unexpectedly, a numbness hit his ribs earlier, and now he couldn't muster any strength at all.

  "Say it, go on saying." Qin Feng also didn't speak, standing in front of Li Tianyuan, just staring at him with his eyes.

  "Brother Wind, I...I didn't say anything wrong, those two are not good people..." Li Tianyuan was stared at by Qin Feng until he felt a chill run down his spine, and his voice became softer and softer, until it was almost inaudible to himself.

  "Farzi, you weren't beaten to death before, what great luck!"

  Staring at Li Tianyuan for a long time, Qin Feng sighed helplessly and said: "This is someone else's territory. Do you think that by beating those two people, you can leave the antique street? Do you know what it means to have a strong dragon not suppress the local snake?"

  And now in this society, it's not that having skills makes you awesome. No matter how high your skills are, one bullet and you're still dead! Farzi, I brought you out, but it wasn't to help you collect corpses. If you're still like this, then take the money and go back to Shicheng!"

  Qin Feng was truly enraged this time. Although he possessed the Eight Gates inheritance, he was still just a minor and would feel pain when beaten and die when shot. If Li Tianyuan didn't change his temper, he would eventually be killed by him.

  "Feng Ge, you... are you serious?" Li Tianyuan was shocked by Qin Feng. Since he decided to follow Qin Feng, he had never thought of leaving. The current situation suddenly left him at a loss.

  "What are you doing, following me around all day?" Qin Feng knew that if he didn't discipline Li Tianyuan this time, who knows when he would cause a huge disaster, so his expression didn't relax in the slightest.

  "Brother Feng, I...I won't dare again. From now on, even if others slap me in the face, I won't fight back. Don't drive me away!"

  Li Tianyuan's voice was already trembling with tears, he was only one year older than Qin Feng, at most a child himself, how could he withstand the scare from Qin Feng?

  "Did you say that?"

  Qin Feng's expression eased up and he said, "Yuan Zi, good words aren't repeated twice. If there's another incident like this, don't blame me for not cherishing our relationship in prison!"

  "Brother Qin, don't worry, I definitely won't mess up again. Whatever you say is what it is." Li Tianyuan hung his head, looking like a frost-bitten eggplant, and was really scared by Qin Feng.

  "You think you're tough just because your fists are big? These days, the ones who kill people are the soft knives that don't shed blood."

  Qin Feng sighed and walked forward along the small alley, saying: "Don't go to Antique Street for a while, let's find a place to settle down, I still need to leave for a period of time."

  Qin Feng's greatest wish now is to find his sister, and he also has some money on hand. He plans to settle down Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan before going to look for his sister's whereabouts.

  "Hmm? Wenhua Lane 386?"

  Qin Feng, who had originally intended to walk back to the hotel, suddenly stopped in front of a courtyard and fixed his eyes on the doorplate on the right side of the gate.

  Jin Tian is a port, and the city center also runs through the Hai River. In the early planning stages, it was somewhat similar to Beijing, with many areas built in the style of traditional courtyard houses. The area where Qin Feng is currently located used to be an old residence.

  However, after going through hundreds of years of wind and rain, these siheyuan have become very dilapidated. The stone strips under the gate have been ground to lose their patterns, and the wooden door sills on both sides have also rotted.

  "Brother Wind, what's wrong?" Li Tianyuan, who had been keeping his head down the whole time, almost bumped into Qin Feng. He looked up to see this ordinary courtyard, and his face was filled with a bewildered expression.

  "It's okay, I'll go take a look, you wait at the door..."

  Qin Feng waved his hand and walked straight into the yard. He couldn't tell Li Tianyuan that his master, Zai Yi, had lived here more than half a century ago.
