CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47 BEAT TO DEATH_1

"What?"

The man in a purple robe went pale on the spot.

"Didn’t you tell me to name my price?" Qin Feiyang broke into a wide grin, showing off his white teeth.

"Indeed, I did say that, but you can’t just... ask for the moon!" the man in the purple robe protested with a look of grievance.

"You can refuse. Besides, I still need to find Lo Qingzhu later," Qin Feiyang chuckled. His unspoken message was clear: if he dared to refuse, Qin Feiyang would go and egg on Lo Qingzhu to tell her father the truth. At that point, not only would he lose his position as Pavilion Master, but he would probably face severe punishment as well.

The man in the purple robe had a mournful face. This young man is a real trap!

Qin Feiyang walked up, slung an arm over his shoulder, and chuckled, "Hey, don’t take it so hard. You and I both know, even if you give me ten Beast Spirit Pills, it’s not coming out of your own pocket, right?"

The man in the purple robe’s heart skipped a beat. I didn’t expect this little guy to be such a little fox!

"So, is it a deal or not? Give me a straight answer!" Qin Feiyang urged.

The man in the purple robe gritted his teeth and nodded. "Fine, but you have to promise me that if you get the chance, you’ll put in a few good words for me with the Young Miss."

"That’s a small matter," Qin Feiyang readily agreed.

"Also, this is the first and last time," the man in the purple robe said. "After all, if too much public money is lost, it’s easy for those higher up to find out."

"Don’t worry, I’m a person who’s easily satisfied. I definitely won’t come looking for even half a silver coin from you again," Qin Feiyang laughed.

The man in the purple robe rolled his eyes. Easily satisfied? I really don’t see it.

Sigh! This time, I’ve truly suffered a double loss!

After some pleasantries, the man in the purple robe left, shaking his head and sighing.

Less than an hour later, he had the man in black armor send over a Qiankun Bag.

After sending the man in black armor away, Qin Feiyang carefully inventoried its contents. The Qi Gathering Pills numbered exactly one hundred thousand—not one more, not one less—plus one Beast Spirit Pill. I really hit the jackpot this time!

However, he knew that this was all thanks to Lo Qingzhu.

How should I thank them? He put away the Qiankun Bag and bowed his head in thought.

After a moment, his eyes lit up. He found a brush, ink, and bamboo slips, and began to write with intense focus. He was transcribing Martial Arts Techniques!

Right now, he was flat broke and had no decent gifts to offer, only the Martial Arts Techniques in his mind.

Several hundred breaths later, with a flourish of his hand, he finished writing the last word. There were two Martial Arts Techniques in total. One was an auxiliary Martial Arts Technique, Gale Step. The other was an offensive Martial Arts Technique, Mysterious Moon Palm.

Qin Feiyang picked up the bamboo slips, scanned them one by one, and chuckled, "These two Martial Arts Techniques are both Perfect Martial Arts Techniques. If they were auctioned, they’d definitely cause a frenzy. They should like them, right?"

"Auction?"

Suddenly, Qin Feiyang froze. That’s right, why was I so stupid? I can just transcribe Martial Arts Techniques and auction them off!

At that thought, Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. The importance of Martial Arts Techniques was obvious to all. Especially Perfect Martial Arts Techniques; even the major families in Black Bear City might not possess any. Even if they did, they would have one at most. Yet, he had hundreds of Perfect Martial Arts Techniques in his mind. This is practically a huge treasure trove! To be sitting on a treasure trove yet be completely oblivious, still wracking my brains every day about how to earn Gold Coins—how truly foolish!

He hurriedly found another bamboo slip, but just as he was about to transcribe, he hesitated. Although Perfect Martial Arts Techniques were common in the Imperial Capital, where every major family possessed them, one had to remember, this was Yan Province. If a large number of Perfect Martial Arts Techniques were to appear, it could cause unnecessary trouble.

It seems Perfect Martial Arts Techniques cannot be easily sold. In that case, I’ll transcribe a Superior Martial Arts Technique.

However, to Qin Feiyang’s frustration, he couldn’t find any Superior Martial Arts Techniques in his memory. Previously, apart from Perfect Martial Arts Techniques, he wouldn’t deign to look at techniques of other levels, so he hadn’t paid them any mind. Who would have thought they would actually be useful now? I seem to recall, one time when I was bored, I skimmed through a few Superior Martial Arts Techniques. Let me think carefully.

Qin Feiyang closed his eyes, racking his brain. After thinking for a long time, he finally recalled a Superior Martial Arts Technique called Wild Bull Fist.

He picked up his brush and began to transcribe. Wild Bull Fist: its fist wind roared like a Savage Bull. Known for its unyielding ferocity, it was a top-tier Superior Martial Arts Technique.

After finishing the transcription, Qin Feiyang carefully checked it again. Confirming there were no errors, he chuckled, I wonder how many Gold Coins a Superior Martial Arts Technique can fetch at auction in Black Bear City.

Then he put away the three bamboo slips, walked out of the room, closed the door, and went to the tavern hall. After asking a waiter for the location of the Jiang Family, he left the tavern and quickly headed towards the Jiang Family residence.

But when he reached the Jiang Family, he was informed by the servants that Lo Qingzhu and Zhao Shuang’er had already left. However, they hadn’t been gone long, and he could still catch up. He then asked which city gate the two had departed from. A Jiang Family servant told him it was the West City Gate.

Qin Feiyang then rushed non-stop towards the West City Gate.

West City Gate.

At this moment, two fine horses stood there, with two beautiful young women seated on their backs, forming a picturesque scene. Passersby couldn’t help but steal a few extra glances. Some young men even went up to greet them. But the two young women paid them no heed, appearing extremely aloof. Their gazes passed through the city gate, watching the bustling street, as if they were waiting for someone.

After a moment, a hint of disappointment crept into the eyes of both women.

Lo Qingzhu sighed, "Shuang’er, I don’t think he’s coming. Let’s go!"

Zhao Shuang’er said resentfully, "That fellow, he really doesn’t know what’s good for him."

"Wait!"

But just then, a loud shout came from within the city. The two women’s faces immediately lit up with smiles.

Qin Feiyang, swift as lightning, ran up to the two women.

Zhao Shuang’er pouted her red lips and said, "I thought you weren’t coming!"

Qin Feiyang chuckled, "How could I not? You’ve done me a great favor; I definitely had to come and see you off."

"See us off?" The two were taken aback.

Qin Feiyang took out the two bamboo slips, pressed them into Zhao Shuang’er’s hands, and smiled, "Thank you for your help. I don’t have anything valuable, just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won’t mind."

"Hmm?" Zhao Shuang’er frowned slightly, opened a bamboo slip, and upon seeing its contents, her expression instantly froze.

Seeing this, a trace of puzzlement appeared in Lo Qingzhu’s eyes. She took the other bamboo slip from Zhao Shuang’er’s hand, and after a careful look, her slender body also stiffened.

To give Perfect Martial Arts Techniques as a gift? Isn’t this guy too extravagant? Does he even realize the value of Perfect Martial Arts Techniques?

Seeing the women’s reactions, Qin Feiyang immediately realized that he had greatly underestimated the value of Perfect Martial Arts Techniques in Yan Province. Perhaps Perfect Martial Arts Techniques are rare even in Yan City.

"This is too valuable, I can’t accept it," Zhao Shuang’er shook her head, ready to return the bamboo slip to Qin Feiyang.

But Qin Feiyang had already turned around and strode towards the city gate without looking back. He waved coolly and smiled, "Beauties, we’ll meet again if fate allows! Also, remember to think of me often when you’re free!"

Lo Qingzhu and Zhao Shuang’er rolled their eyes.

Thank you,

Zhao Shuang’er said silently in her heart. Lo Qingzhu came from a prominent family; obtaining Perfect Martial Arts Techniques wasn’t difficult for her. But she was merely a disciple from a small family; she had to strive for everything with her own abilities. A Perfect Martial Arts Technique was a dream for her. Now that Qin Feiyang had given her two Perfect Martial Arts Techniques, it would save her at least several years of struggle. Therefore, she was exceptionally grateful.

Just who are you? Lo Qingzhu pondered inwardly. Perfect Martial Arts Techniques—even the major families in Yan City and Star Moon City would hoard them like treasures. Yet this fellow handed over two of them without even batting an eyelid. Without a significant family background, it would be impossible to be so casual. Furthermore, the calligraphy on the bamboo slips was firm and powerful, like dragons soaring and phoenixes dancing, exuding an impressive spiritual aura. Only someone well-read and profoundly learned could produce such writing. But wasn’t Qin Feiyang a country bumpkin? How could he write such lively characters?

Suddenly, she felt that Qin Feiyang was shrouded in a veil of mystery, making him seem unfathomable.

"Shuang’er, let’s go. I have a feeling that we’ll meet him again before long," Lo Qingzhu said with a smile.

"Mm," Zhao Shuang’er nodded.

The two put away the bamboo slips and pulled on the reins. With a neigh, the two fine horses galloped off, leaving a trail of dust.

「Meanwhile.」

Qin Feiyang hurriedly arrived at the Treasure Pavilion. But just as he entered the main hall, a youth in purple clothes collided head-on with him!

BANG!

The two collided squarely. Qin Feiyang retreated three steps, but the youth in purple stumbled and fell straight to the ground.

"Damn it!" The youth in purple cursed on the spot, scrambled up, and glared fiercely at Qin Feiyang. "Are you fucking blind? You dare bump into me? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!"

"Mu Fei?" Qin Feiyang was somewhat taken aback. It’s really true what they say, enemies are bound to cross paths.

Seeing Qin Feiyang silent and looking at him with a strange expression, Mu Fei flew into a rage and yelled, "What are you looking at? Didn’t you hear what I said? Apologize to me right now, or I’ll gouge out those dog eyes of yours!"

"Apologize? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself? What do you think you are?" Qin Feiyang was about to speak, but a disdainful voice interjected.

Another youth in purple clothes walked into the Treasure Pavilion, surrounded by several servants. He came to Qin Feiyang’s side, patted Qin Feiyang on the shoulder, and smiled, "Bro, don’t be afraid of him, he’s a wimp."

"Jiang Wei?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback. It was another familiar face.

Mu Fei’s eyebrows furrowed, and he sneered, "Jiang Wei, is he your dad? You’re being awfully nosy."

"You’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not his father," Qin Feiyang replied, shaking his head very seriously.

"PFFT..." The onlookers inside and outside burst into laughter. Was there any need to be so insulting?

Jiang Wei’s face turned completely red.

"Young Master, this person is too unappreciative! You kindly helped him, yet he insults you like this. Let’s just cripple him!"

"Young Master, this was the man who came looking for the Eldest Miss earlier." The servants beside him whispered incitements, their eyes glinting with malice.

Jiang Wei’s eyebrows twitched. He sized Qin Feiyang up for a moment, then realization dawned. "No wonder you looked somewhat familiar! That night in the forest, you were standing beside my cousin. Tell me honestly, are you my cousin’s friend?"

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Then we can be considered on the same side!" Jiang Wei grinned broadly. He then took a few steps back, looked at Qin Feiyang again, and his expression changed in an instant. With a grand wave of his hand, he roared, "What are you waiting for? Beat him to death!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding servants immediately grinned maliciously and swarmed towards Qin Feiyang.
