Chapter 227
Zhang Guolao saw that Xiao Chen didn’t say anything immediately and thought Xiao Chen changed his mind. He called out worriedly, “Young Master Xiao Chen?”
“Zhang Lao, since I promised everyone, I will do it.”
Xiao Chen saw the worry on Zhang Guolao’s face and gave him a reassuring answer. He then looked at Qian Baiyi and said indifferently, “Qian Clan Head, I am not here to be a guest. I am here to ask for an explanation on behalf of everyone and to recoup my losses. That is all!”
“Uh …”
Qian Baiyi didn’t expect that Xiao Chen still wouldn’t give him face even after he treated him so politely. Instantly, his expression turned ugly. However, a moment later, a warm smile appeared on his old face again. He pretended to be confused and said, “Young Master Xiao, why do you say that?
I don’t understand. ”
“Don’t understand?
Keke, Clan Head Qian, you really know how to joke. Your clan’s Young Master bullied people, your guards colluded with evil people to assassinate me, and your elders were arrogant and despotic. I can ignore all these because I have already dealt with those who should be dealt with and killed those who should be killed. Now, I just don’t like the Qian Clan and want to help the people behind me to recoup their losses. ”
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and immediately saw through Qian Baiyi’s fake mask. He had never been interested in the hypocrisy of great clans and didn’t give any face. He despised people who hid daggers in their smiles the most.
“Uh … my guards colluded with evil people to assassinate you?
Is there such a thing?
Young Master Xiao Chen, is there some misunderstanding? ”
The fake smile on Qian Baiyi’s face stiffened and disappeared immediately. He didn’t care about the other reasons that Xiao Chen said, but the Qian Clan’s guards colluded with evil people to assassinate Xiao Chen. Once the Sha Clan Patriarch knew about it, the consequences would be severe.
“Misunderstanding?
The evil people and the two Qian Clan’s guards are dead, and there is no evidence. I will not pursue this matter. Now, I just want to recoup the losses for the people behind me. This is not too much, right? ”
Xiao Chen said indifferently. He repeatedly emphasized that he would help Elder Zhang and the others recover their losses. This was not his usual cold and detached style. It was obvious that the hostility in his heart was controlling his thoughts. In the past, he would not have meddled in other people’s business.
“Everyone is dead?
Great Elder, you must investigate this matter thoroughly!
Give Young Master Xiao Chen a satisfactory answer!
Got it? ”
Qian Baiyi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this information from Xiao Chen. As long as Xiao Chen was dead, there would be no evidence. Even if Xiao Chen was not dead, Qian Baiyi would still kill him secretly. This way, even if the news reached the ears of the Sha Clan’s Patriarch, the Sha Clan’s Patriarch would not be able to find any evidence. Moreover, Xiao Chen was fine, so the Sha Clan’s Patriarch would definitely not annihilate the Qian Clan.
“Yes, Patriarch.”
Qian Dashou responded cooperatively. As for whether he would investigate, only he would know. Furthermore, what would be the result of investigating a few dead people?
All the clans and formidable martial artists in the Killing God Tribe knew that the Sha Clan’s Patriarch was protecting Xiao Chen. However, the person being protected, Xiao Chen, did not know that the Sha Clan’s Patriarch was protecting him. When the Sha Clan’s Patriarch announced that he would protect Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen carried Da Huang’s corpse and rushed to the Great Wilderness with a disheartened heart. He did not know that the Sha Clan’s Patriarch was treating him so well.
Xiao Chen saw that Qian Baiyi kept avoiding the topic of compensation and was displeased. Thus, he shouted coldly, “Clan Head Qian!
I will not pursue other matters. Let’s get to the point. I only want the Qian Clan to compensate everyone’s losses. Stop avoiding the topic. My patience has its limits. Understand? ”
“Eh …”
When Qian Baiyi heard Xiao Chen’s threatening words, there wasn’t a trace of smile on his face. His expression turned extremely gloomy. He forcefully suppressed the grievance and anger in his heart and resisted the urge to kill. He spoke indifferently, “Xiao Chen, this Clan Head does not understand why you want to stand up for them. Since you want compensation, then why don’t you name a reasonable price?”
“One million taels of purple gold. This was the price that was set from the beginning. You should have known about it, right?”
Xiao Chen spoke in an even more indifferent tone. He had this indifferent expression as though he wasn’t talking about one million taels of purple gold, but one tael of purple gold.
“One million!
Xiao Chen, aren’t they asking for too much?
They might as well rob us directly! ”
Qian Baiyi didn’t expect that even after he spoke nicely and spoke humbly, Xiao Chen still didn’t give him any face. Qian Baiyi instantly roared with anger. However, his words were very clever. He didn’t scold Xiao Chen directly. Instead, he scolded the three hundred sellers and insinuated that Xiao Chen was asking for too much and didn’t know what was good for him.
Wow!
Qian Baiyi’s angry roar instantly reached the ears of the spectators and caused an uproar.
One million taels of purple gold was indeed asking for too much. Even if those sellers sold some valuable items, the total value would definitely not be one million taels of purple gold.
Furthermore, the two guards only damaged a small portion of the items, and there were plenty of fake goods and cheap goods. Only a small portion of the sellers suffered losses. Right now, all three hundred of the sellers were asking for compensation. It was obvious that they were using Xiao Chen’s reputation to extort the Qian Clan, which they didn’t dare to extort in the past.
They were indeed a group of ferocious people who were willing to risk their lives for money!
It was obvious that they were blinded by money and hot-bloodedness. Or perhaps, they just wanted to go crazy with Xiao Chen. To be honest, they were feeling great and excited. What they were doing now was something that they had never done or thought of doing in their entire lives.
Xiao Chen saw that Qian Baiyi was flustered and exasperated, but his expression didn’t change at all. He wasn’t going to be merciful and continued to speak indifferently, “Clan Leader Qian, don’t be so agitated. It’s only right that one million taels of purple gold should be repaid. I was the one who set the price. Whether you give it to me or not is up to you. Do you understand?”
“You!
You are too much!
Xiao Chen, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because the Sha Clan’s Laozu is protecting you!
With that, he could disregard the entire Death God Tribe!
One must know when to stop. You should understand the saying of going too far is as bad as not going far enough, right?
Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. Moreover, our Qian Clan isn’t a dog that anyone can bully. At most, we will fight to the death!
Hmph! ”
Qian Baiyi was truly infuriated and reprimanded Xiao Chen for being too high profile and excessive. As the Clan Leader of the Qian Clan, he had such a distinguished status. When had he ever spoken to others in such a submissive manner?
Even when he was facing the Long Yao City Lord, Cao Qianren, he didn’t have to be so submissive, right?
Xiao Chen might have decent strength, but the Qian Clan wasn’t afraid of him. What they were afraid of was the Sha Clan behind Xiao Chen, especially the Sha Clan’s Laozu. As for Xiao Chen’s formidable dire beast, The Lion King, it had already perished in the previous battle between Xiao Chen and the Sha Clan. This was a well-known fact.
When Xiao Chen heard the first half of Qian Baiyi’s words, he frowned and had a strange expression. He was puzzled and didn’t hear a single word from Qian Baiyi. After Qian Baiyi finished venting, Xiao Chen then asked the doubt in his heart, “You said that the Sha Clan’s Laozu is protecting me?
What is going on? ”
“Uh …”
When Qian Baiyi heard Xiao Chen’s question, he was stunned for a moment. After a while, he regained his senses, and the anger on his face intensified. He felt that Xiao Chen had insulted his intelligence. His old face instantly turned red, just like a pig’s head that had been soaked in boiling water. He took a deep breath and roared in exasperation,
“Xiao Chen, are you messing with me?
The entire Killing God Tribe knows about this, and you are still pretending!
Having someone protecting you is very impressive?
Let me tell you, without the Sha Clan’s Laozu protecting you, do you think you can still live until now?
What a joke!
Hahaha! ”
He was so angry that he laughed!
Qian Baiyi had been driven mad by Xiao Chen. He no longer had any scruples and spoke out all the unhappiness in his heart. It was obvious that he wanted to completely fall out with Xiao Chen.
