After all, in the eyes of those merchants, the Zhao Clan had already lost two Foundation Establishment experts, but there were no signs of counterattacking the Qin Clan at all. Many merchants were judging from this. Could the Zhao Clan be on the verge of collapse?
For merchants, business was business. Anyway, they were all doing business. If the east wasn't bright, the west was bright. As long as there was profit to be made, wasn't it the same who they cooperated with?
As the Zhao Clan's Gold Core consecrator was still in seclusion, the head of the Zhao Clan, Zhao Ximu, would definitely not choose to find trouble with the Qin Clan at this juncture. Moreover, although the clan had lost some small merchants, overall, it didn't affect their business too much.
Therefore, although Zhao Ximu had heard of these situations, he still chose to turn a blind eye to it and pretend that it didn't happen. Anyway, when the consecrator came out of seclusion and asked for an explanation, those small merchants would naturally cry and beg to return to the Zhao Clan.
However, although Zhao Ximu could keep his composure, the young and impetuous Zhao Wendeng couldn't take this lying down. As the dignified young master of the Zhao Clan, when he was supposed to go out and flaunt his prowess every day, he had to be pointed at and whispered by the people in Yanlin Town behind his back. The key was that he couldn't make a move against those people. He almost died of grievance!
Zhao Wendeng, who was unwilling in his heart, pondered over it. He simply brought Protector Zhu and a few of his trusted subordinates, carried Protector Zhang's corpse and went straight to the Qin Clan. He was prepared to demand an explanation from them. He had to vent his anger!
In Zhao Wendeng's mind, since he couldn't start a full-scale war with the Qin Clan for the time being, he planned to first demonstrate and protest to see if he could get some benefits back to compensate for the Zhao Clan's losses these days. At the same time, he could use this to suppress the Qin Clan and restore the Zhao Clan's former prestige.
In the Qin Clan's guest room, Qin Shengling, Qin Taotian, and Xiao Chen were chatting. Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and a steward stumbled in.
"What's going on?" Qin Shengling frowned and scolded unhappily, "Can't you see that there are important guests here? Why are you so flustered! "
The steward didn't bother to lower his head and apologize. He panted heavily and said anxiously, "Old Master, Young Master! Not good! The eldest young master of the Zhao family, Zhao Wendeng, placed a corpse in front of our Qin family's gate. He even clamored for the Qin family to hand over the murderer and compensate us for our mental damages. Now, there's a circle of people surrounding us. You two, hurry up and come out to take a look! "
"What?!" Qin Taotian slammed the table angrily. His originally elated face was immediately covered with dark clouds. He gritted his teeth and said, "This Zhao Wendeng has gone too far! It was clearly him who first sent people to find trouble with Exalted Immortal Xiao. In the end, he actually made a false accusation! "
Qin Shengling's face didn't look too good. He originally thought that the Zhao Family didn't respond for so long because they planned to cover up this matter. He didn't expect that they still came looking for trouble!
Qin Taotian stood up abruptly and ordered the butler in a deep voice, "Get all the people in the family who can fight here immediately! Today, I'm going to let Zhao Wendeng know what it means to come but never return! "
"That … Eldest young master, most of the Qin family's manpower has been mobilized to the nearby towns to search. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to get them back in such a short period of time …" The butler had a troubled expression as he carefully reported in a low voice.
"Right, right, right. Aiya, how could I forget about this?" Qin Taotian slapped his forehead. Only then did he remember that because they wanted to help Exalted Immortal Xiao find someone, they had already sent out most of their people a few days ago.
Taking two steps toward the door of the guest hall, Qin Taotian snorted coldly. He rolled up his sleeves and said fiercely, "It doesn't matter if there's no one! This is our Qin family's territory. Get all the people we have now. I want to see what kind of tricks Zhao Wendeng can play! "
"Taotian, there's no need to do this." Xiao Chen suddenly spoke up and stopped Qin Taotian's actions. He said lightly, "Since that brat Zhao Wendeng likes to cry outside the Qin family's gate, let him be! There's no need to pay attention to him. Anyway, it won't affect us at all. It will only make the people in the town look down on him even more! "
Xiao Chen's expression was very calm. It was impossible to tell that he was angered at all. He had seen this kind of low-level provocation many times. Naturally, he would not take it to heart.
"What Exalted Immortal Xiao said makes sense. The Immortal Cultivation World has always believed that only those with strength have the right to speak. The people from the Zhao family were not capable and were killed by Exalted Immortal Xiao. Now, they actually have the cheek to come over and ask for compensation. Isn't this slapping their own faces? Taotian, there's no need to pay attention to him! "After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Qin Shengling instantly understood and nodded in agreement.
"But grandpa, although that's true, it's so depressing to always have a corpse outside our door!" Qin Taotian gritted his teeth and objected with a face full of hatred. "The Zhao family is riding all over our noses now. We can't pretend not to see it, can we? It'll be so embarrassing if word gets out! People will think that we're too cowardly! "
After all, Qin Taotian was still young and full of vigor. When provoked, he would be overwhelmed by anger. He was not as calm and steady as Xiao Chen and Qin Shengling.
"Oh, about this …" Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled into a sly smile. He said slowly, "Since we have nothing else to do right now, and we're idle anyway, let's go and tease him! How about this, you go and find a few people first … "
Next, Xiao Chen explained the plan that he had just thought of to prank Zhao Wendeng unhurriedly.
"Hahaha! Exalted Immortal Xiao, you're really too … oh no, too smart! " Qin Taotian was amused by Xiao Chen's plan. He patted his chest and said, "Leave this matter to me. I'll get people to prepare immediately. Just wait and watch the show!"
After taking charge of the matter, Qin Taotian excitedly sent out his butler and impatiently asked him to find a group of servants. Then, he gave them a series of instructions and specially instructed them in every detail before assigning the task.
At this time, it was already very lively outside the Qin family's door. Not only did Zhao Wendeng deliberately get people to carry the corpse to block the door, but he also specially made a few banners for his subordinates to hold up as a demonstration.
The bystanders squinted and saw that the white banners were written with blood-red words such as "Bullying with Numbers" and "A Life for a Life". It really looked like that was the case.
The Qin family's door was already surrounded by curious citizens. Everyone whispered to each other and discussed how the Qin family would end this time. Even many presidents of the Chamber of Commerce ran over and sneaked into the crowd to watch the show. At the same time, they wanted to assess whether the Qin family really had enough power to turn this passive situation around.
