CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 395: EXECUTE JUSTICE ON BEHALF OF HEAVEN

Qin Liuxi stood by the side of the shop, listening to the sharp-tongued, raffish hooligans spitting out obscenities, his face dark as ink.

"Everyone, our Ruyi Pavilion has already paid the so-called protective fee when we opened. It hasn’t been a few days, and you came to collect a ’tea-drinking fee’, which we have also paid. And now you are here to interfere with Ruyi Pavilion’s business, could it be you are scorning the law?" This was the voice of Mrs. Wang, the legitimate mother.

Qin Liuxi listened with his hands behind his back, his aura growing colder.

Wang Chuan subconsciously edged closer to Teng Zhao, feeling somewhat frightened.

The master was angry.

Teng Zhao was also angry. Although he usually stayed at home and did not go out, his companion was Mr. Du, who was well-read in poetry and versed in the ways of the world. He had also discussed many instances of the strong bullying the weak, and the plight of ordinary folks struggling in the lower echelons of society, oppressed to the point of closing their businesses resentfully under various so-called protection fees. And now, the Qin family’s shop had become one of those ordinary folks.

Because the Qin family had been cursed by a Saint, they had been exiled back here, not to mention labeled as criminals, without any backing, and a newly opened shop, naturally becoming a target of oppression.

Teng Zhao was in no hurry, the master was there.

The master had a weak connection with her own family, like water not mixing with oil, but her surname was Qin, and there were always people in the Qin family whom she cared about, and she was always one to stand up for her own.

So, these ruffians were destined to kick against a solid iron board.

"Law? This area is my Li Jiang’s turf, I am the law here. What, you don’t want to pay? Do you not want to keep your shop open? Let me tell you, in this area alone, there are hundreds of ruffians. Every day it doesn’t need to be many, just send a few to help you guard the shop, and within five days, you’ll have to close." The burly leader, a husk hollowed out by indulgence in wine and women, self-proclaimed Li Jiang, looked at Mrs. Wang with a lascivious gleam in his eye and said, "Why not just hand over the shop and the candied fruit recipe to me to manage, and come warm my bed as a concubine for me to enjoy good fortune?"

The crowd burst into lewd laughter, praising their leader’s good luck.

Mrs. Wang trembled with anger.

She came from a noble family, adhering to etiquette and propriety. Even after marrying into the Qin family, she lived a life of glory and wealth, a distinguished lady high above. In the past, someone like Li Jiang wouldn’t be seen within fifty steps of her, let alone subject to such verbal insult.

Having made her presence known in these days of conducting business, she knew it wasn’t easy for a woman to be in commerce, and quickly toughened up amidst various challenges, but still, upon hearing such filthy language, she felt dizzy with anger.

"How dare you!" Qin Meiniang was also trembling with anger and said furiously: "If you do not leave, we will report you to the authorities."

"Oho, is the young lady feeling hard done by? Perhaps if you sisters serve this young master together, I wouldn’t mind..." Li Jiang had not finished his speech before he was sent flying by a tremendous force.

The crowd stood petrified, their vision blurring.

What just flew by at an angle?

And that Li Jiang, who was flung away, turned his head to vomit a mouthful of blood.

The crowd was startled and rushed over to help him up: "Boss, are you okay?"

It was a big problem.

Li Jiang spat out another mouthful of blood, covering his aching chest and roared: "Who was it? Who ambushed your grandpa? Show yourself if you have the guts!"

This sudden turn of events also startled Mrs. Wang and Qin Meiniang; the two of them hurried out, only to see Qin Liuxi walking out from the side, making their hearts shrink.

"Xi, Xixi?" Mrs. Wang blinked.

When did this child come back?

Qin Liuxi gave a calming look and glowered at Li Jiang, saying coldly, "I don’t care if you’re here for the silver or if someone sent you, whoever dares to cause trouble in this Ruyi Pavilion, I will make sure they can’t deal with the consequences."

Mrs. Wang was startled and quickly went to Qin Liuxi’s side, shielding her with her body while slightly turning her head and saying, "Xixi, go to the shop."

Seeing Mrs. Wang shielding her like a mother hen, Qin Liuxi’s eyes softened, and she patted her hand, saying, "It’s fine."

Everyone saw this and understood; this brat that came out of nowhere belonged to the people of this shop.

Li Jiang was furious and ordered, "Catch that kid for me, and if I don’t make his rear blossom, then I’m his grandson."

Mrs. Wang was extremely angry and pushed Qin Liuxi toward the inside.

Qin Liuxi, however, dodged her hands with agile movements and said with a smile, "No harm done. Watch how I teach these douchebags a lesson. Stand aside, be careful not to get hurt."

Before Mrs. Wang could react, she felt a gust of wind pushing her towards the shop, leaving her completely baffled.

Meanwhile, the thugs rushed at Qin Liuxi, who, fearless, kicked each one sending them flying to the base of a wall, knocking down Li Jiang who had just stood up.

Both of them screamed out in pain.

That wasn’t the end of it; Qin Liuxi kicked another, piling him on top of the others.

Bystanders, seeing the commotion, had already gathered around to watch and were pointing and talking.

One after the other, Qin Liuxi stacked the five hooligans like a row of falling dominoes.

Li Jiang, at the bottom of the pile, was nearly squished flat and wailed, "You little gay, come out with your name, I, your grandpa... ugh."

Suddenly, his mouth seemed to be blocked, unable to utter another word. He was silenced.

"If you can’t speak, then don’t," Qin Liuxi said with a smile, flicking a magic technique with a trace of evil aura at him.

She had already examined these men’s fate and behavior; all were treacherous, slippery, and wily, with two having blood on their hands—Li Jiang and the one with a growth on his back, both had taken lives.

None were good people, so she felt no remorse in delivering karmic justice.

Li Jiang was petrified, slapping his mouth and trying to shake off the bodies on top of him, but his underlings stuck to him as if glued, not falling off. Instead, as he struggled, his head spun, and he felt dizzy.

He watched in horror as Qin Liuxi approached, screaming internally: What kind of demon is this, get away, get away!

Qin Liuxi looked down at him from above and said, "Every debt has its debtor, and every wrong its author, I hope you survive the vengeance of those you’ve harmed."

What?

Li Jiang suddenly felt a cold chill all over his body, as if something was stalking him.

The sound of horseshoes approached from afar, stopping in front of the shop.

"Is it here?" A familiar voice came from behind Qin Liuxi, "Hey, what are you all doing?"

Qin Liuxi turned around, seeing the newcomer, and thought what a coincidence.

"Mr. Yu."

"Daoist Master? What are you doing here?" Yu Qiucai saw Qin Liuxi, hurried over with a bow, glanced at the stacked thugs, and squinted, "What, did these blind fools provoke the Daoist Master?"

Acting recklessly can only lead to death. How dare they provoke Qin Liuxi, are they tired of living!
