“Hahaha, what a clever plan! You really are a sly little man, to speak such words.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Chen couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Who do you think you are? You come to my Liu Pavilion, killing at will, and you dare to speak arrogantly? Do you really think there’s no law in Wu City? Today, if you don’t give my Liu Pavilion an explanation, don’t even think about leaving peacefully.”
Liu Cheng looked at Qin Chen, his eyes filled with fury.
Qin Chen didn’t expect that in this situation, Liu Cheng wouldn’t make a move immediately but instead wanted to reason with him.
However, this was in line with his intentions.
“You, a mere quack doctor, a swindler, have the audacity to ask for an explanation?”
“What do you mean by that?” Liu Cheng’s expression darkened.
“What I mean is, do you not understand?” Qin Chen pointed at Xu Xiong, “This Xu family master, you should know him, right?”
“Of course I know him.” Liu Cheng sneered.
“Good, then do you remember a few days ago, this Xu family master was heavily injured and came seeking your help for treatment?”
“Of course I remember.”
“Then could you explain what you did at that time?”
“Why not?” Liu Cheng laughed coldly, “A few days ago, Xu Xiong was injured by someone from the Zhou family and came begging for help, seeing his pitiful state, out of mercy, I agreed to help him.”
“You all know that to treat injuries in my Liu Pavilion, a task must be completed. Coincidentally, I was preparing to refine a certain pill and needed a Three-Eyed Salamander’s compound eye, so I handed it over to the Xu family, saying that as long as they bring me the compound eye, I would treat his injuries.”
“I was even worried that the Xu family wouldn’t be able to handle the Three-Eyed Salamander, so I prepared a package of potions to help them counter it.”
“Who would have thought that the Xu family, with hearts as black as wolves, not only didn’t bring the compound eye, but today came to my Liu Pavilion to cause trouble. Truly despicable and shameless!”
Liu Cheng spoke with righteous indignation, passionately.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
A round of applause resounded, and Qin Chen clapped his hands, a cold smile on his face, “You speak quite well. Those who don’t know might truly be deceived by your performance.”
“What do you mean by that?” Liu Cheng frowned.
Qin Chen didn’t waste words. He clapped his hands again, “Bring him up.”
“Yes!”
Someone immediately replied, and then the crowd parted as several elders from the Xu family brought in a middle-aged man.
“Isn’t this Elder Zhou Zhenglong from the Zhou family?”
“How did he end up in the Xu family’s hands?”
“The Xu family and the Zhou family have always been at odds. I heard that this morning, Zhou Xinhua, the head of the Zhou family, brought a group of elders to cause trouble at the Xu family. How did they get him?”
“Hey, Elder Zhou Zhenglong is a peak Heaven Level mid-stage practitioner, yet he doesn’t have any aura fluctuations at all?”
“Yeah, he looks so weak. Could it be that he has been crippled?”
The crowd erupted in discussions.
Seeing Zhou Zhenglong, Liu Cheng’s expression changed drastically.
Thud!
A kick landed on Zhou Zhenglong’s knee, causing him to kneel down painfully, his face twitching in agony.
“Master Liu, Master Liu, save me!”
Seeing Liu Cheng, Zhou Zhenglong cried out in panic as if he had seen his parents.
Clang!
With a rusty sword against Zhou Zhenglong's neck, Qin Chen coldly said, “Speak up. Tell me your Zhou family’s conspiracy with Liu Pavilion, and I’ll let you go. But if you lie, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
A chilling killing intent filled the air, causing Zhou Zhenglong to shiver, not daring to move, only looking at Liu Cheng with hopeful eyes.
Because he knew that at this moment, only Liu Cheng could save him.
“Still hoping for someone else to save you?”
Qin Chen was speechless. Even at this point, this guy still held expectations, truly thinking he wouldn’t kill him?
