The Respectable Fish Selling Guy!
(Big chapter for monthly ticket updates)_3 Unless a small vendor could complain to a big shot who would not be tempted by the Business League, they would still be at the mercy of the manipulators.
Jiang Qiang was naturally aware of this, he said coldly, “You want to take me out of Brocade Mill and talk to me outside.
Do you want to meet the person behind me?”
The cultivator with a horse-like face smiled, “You’re a smart man.”
Jiang Qiang laughed too, “Unfortunately, you’re not smart enough!”
“What do you mean?”
While the two cultivators were slightly bewildered, they suddenly felt an increasingly intense aura of threat behind them.
...
It was as if they were dropped into an icehouse, chilling their blood and raising their goosebumps.
Subconsciously, they wanted to jump forward in fright.
“Don’t move!
If you move, you will be in big trouble.”
A chilling voice came from beyond the alley wall, with a hint of composure.
The muscles of the two men were locked tight, and their legs, which were about to run, stood still in place.
At this moment, they felt like two bees had appeared behind their necks, emanating an intense sense of evil.
The buzzing sound of their wings was clearly transmitted into their eardrums.
The air disturbed by the wings felt like a cold gust, conveying a deadly threat.
But what place is this?
This is the Brocade Mill!
Even the Business League would not dare to act recklessly within the city, limiting their threats to mere words.
Is the man behind this unafraid to pay the consequences?
The cultivator with the horse-like face clenched his fist and growled, “Fellow cultivator, this place is the Brocade Mill!”
The voice came from the wall again, casually saying, “Yes, and because this is the Brocade Mill, you have to cooperate with me.
Don’t move!
Because these two little things of mine are famous Gu Worms.
Their abilities are different, but both are lethal.
If one of them bites you, you will die on the spot without making a sound.
If the other one bites you, you’ll be in excruciating pain for seven days and nights before you die—silently.
Do you want to gamble on which one of you is luckier and will only die seven days later?”
“You dare!?”
The faces of the two cultivators went pale, varying between green and white.
Their ears heard the terrifying buzzing sound behind their necks, their eyes angrily staring at the grinning Jiang Qiang.
The first sentence was exactly what they had just said to Jiang Qiang, and now he had returned their words.
But it was the last sentence that they wished not to hear.
Because they didn’t want to bet their lives.
If the other party would threaten to kill them all, they would still have the courage to resist and scoff at the threat.
But now, as they were asked to gamble on who was luckier, they were suddenly frightened.
“Of course, I dare!
You must have heard the saying, ‘A vagabond has no fear of a man in shoes.
Porcelain does not collide with pottery.”
Chen Dengming laughed from behind the wall, “Your Business League is the porcelain.
It’s so troublesome to just threaten someone, you even have to take them out of the city.

Isn’t it just because you have many shops in Brocade Mill and have to follow rules?
We Loose Cultivators are different, we are just grass, it doesn’t matter where we grow.
I can kill you two now and have plenty of time to leave Brocade Mill.
No one would know it was me because none of you have ever seen me.”
As the two cultivators listened word by word, they felt a chill running down their spines.
This was a real threat, every sensible word, every sentence was a declaration of death.
He speaks in the most ordinary tone but his actions are ruthless.
“What do you want?
What do you want to do?”
“I don’t like being led by the nose.
On the contrary, I like others doing as I say.
Now, one of you call your master to meet me at Yunlai Inn, located in the east part of the city.”
Just as the two were about to speak.
The buzzing Gu Worms on their necks suddenly landed.
They only felt as if their necks had been threatened by a needle, coldness seeping from the contact point, their bodies stiffened, and the little courage they had finally evaporated.
“Go on, one of you accompany my man to call your master, the other one go to Yunlai Inn and wait.”
A flat and chilling voice echoed, the power of intimidation neither increased nor decreased.
Both of them were terrified, feeling as if a needle had lodged behind their necks.
They could even feel that strange thing crawling into their clothes, giving them goosebumps, and finally resting on their chests.
Now, they had completely lost their wills, like sick chickens with drooped heads, and were easily manipulated, each heading in their respective directions.
That mysterious person had subdued them without even showing his face.
…
…
After a while.
Boss Hu was enjoying a back and shoulder massage from two pretty maids, waiting for his men to complete their task.
However, what he received was the news that both of his men had been controlled.
One of them even brought a man from the other side to invite him to have a talk.
From the beginning to the end, neither of them even saw who was standing behind Jiang Qiang, which angered Boss Hu to the point of pushing away the two maids and flipping the tea table with a kick.
“What a preposterous situation!
I wanted to intimidate them, but now I am the one surrounded.”
After his initial outburst of anger, Boss Hu surprisingly began to laugh.
Suddenly, he began to admire and appreciate this vendor of gu objects, convinced that it must be his old acquaintance, Chen Dengming.
How could this person be as Xu Ning described, brave but tactless and ambitionless?
He stopped hesitating, threw on his cloak, dismissed his men, only calling for the cultivator with the goat-like beard to follow Jiang Qiang and the controlled horse-face cultivator to Yunlai Inn.
The meeting was merely to discuss business cooperation, and not meant for any confrontation, so Boss Hu didn’t make it grand.
From the location Chen Dengming chose for the meeting, Boss Hu knew that he had the same intention.
Controlling his men was just a show of force, to let him know how formidable his opponent was.
Even though they were enemies, they seemed to have an understanding of each other’s thoughts and intentions, maintaining a subtle synergy and reaching consensus, which made Boss Hu appreciate and regard Chen Dengming more.
Sometimes, the one who understands you the most is not your friend, but your opponent.
Finding a friend who deserves respect might not be hard, but finding an opponent who deserves respect is truly difficult.
Boss Hu felt like he had found one.
But it was laughable that he had never really respected Xu Ning, who was at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, yet he had developed respect for a fish-seller he once held in contempt.
