"Childe … It's all a misunderstanding …"
Du Tiannan smiled at Chen Xiaobei. "It's my fault for not recognizing you. I didn't know that you were so close to Master Liu Si! I'm willing to apologize to you! "
"I … I'll apologize too …" Yun Ziqiao cowered behind Du Tiannan, her haughtiness gone. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Heh, apologize? If apologizing works, why do we need the people in charge? "
Chen Xiaobei said. "Half a minute ago, you snatched my saber and even complained to the people in charge. You wanted to get the people in charge to beat me up and throw me out of the black market! Do you think that nothing happened just because you apologized? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world! "
The corner of Du Tiannan's mouth twitched twice as he said in a deep voice, "Young Master! It's better to have a friend than an enemy in Jianghu! Even if you don't accept my apology, for the sake of the Du Family's Divine Fist Mansion … "
Chen said disdainfully, "What a joke! I have nothing to do with the Du Family. Why should I give you face? "
"You …" Du Tiannan's face twisted.
Divine Fist Mansion might not be the most powerful faction in Black Tortoise, but it was definitely an above average faction.
In the past, when they used to show off their Divine Fist Mansion's name, both the government and the underworld would give them some face.
This was the first time Du Tiannan had seen someone like Chen Xiaobei who did not give them face, but instead slapped them in the face.
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "I don't want to waste my breath. If you don't want to slap yourself, then we'll do it according to the rules!"
Du Tiannan was in a dilemma. If there was no one around, he would have let it slide.
But now, there were hundreds of pairs of eyes watching them. Most importantly, the woman he loved was right next to him.
If he really slapped himself ten times, Du Tiannan and the Du Family would lose all their face! And Du Tiannan would never be able to woo Yun Ziqiao!
Du Tiannan could not make up his mind.
"What are you waiting for? Slap yourself! "
Master Liu Si bellowed, "Young Master has already shown you mercy! If you don't, I will destroy both of your cultivation and banish you from Yellow Wind black market! That's the rule set by the old man! "
"Hiss …"
Du Tiannan and Yun Ziqiao gasped at the same time. The words "Old Master" were like thunder in their ears, shocking them to the core.
"We were wrong … We are willing to slap ourselves …"
Du Tiannan gnashed his teeth, raised both of his hands and slapped himself ten times in the face.
"Brother Tiannan … I …"
Yun Ziqiao was extremely reluctant. She had never been slapped since she was a child. Who would have thought that she would have to slap herself for the first time?
"Ziqiao … just bear with it … we don't have a choice …" Du Tiannan wailed. "You should know the old man's rules … even if the Du family and the Yun family join forces, we still won't be able to resist …"
"I …" Yun Ziqiao's face was bitter. She had no choice but to raise her hand and slap herself ten times in front of everyone.
"Master Liu Si, can we go now?" Du Tiannan's face was burning. He just wanted to get out of everyone's sight.
Master Liu Si looked at Chen Xiaobei. Seeing that Chen Xiaobei did not object, he said coldly, "Get lost!"
Du Tiannan quickly pulled Yun Ziqiao away from the crowd.
Master Liu Si asked respectfully, "Childe … Shall we go somewhere else?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head. "I'm not in the mood to go shopping. Arrange a place for us to rest. Inform us when the auction starts tomorrow!"
"So, you want to participate in the auction?" Master Liu Si was taken aback. "I can arrange a place for both of you to rest immediately … But, there are still five bottles of Divine Wine that I haven't found yet …"
"Don't worry. I'm not that greedy!" Chen Xiaobei said. "I've already gotten the Tiger Claw Machete for free. I won't make things too difficult for you!"
Chen Xiaobei then took out five small bottles of Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine and handed them over.
"Thank you, Childe! Thank you, Childe … "Master Liu Si was overjoyed. He patted his chest and promised," I'll go arrange a place for you right now. If you need anything from me, just let me know! "
It was obvious that Chen was using both carrot and stick to make Liu Si stand on the same side as him.
…
In a luxurious independent cave.
Chen Xiaobei and Su Xiaoman could rest in peace for the night while they waited for the auction to start tomorrow.
Master Liu Si even had people send over fragrant tea, snacks, and fruits. He was very attentive and attentive.
"Childe, there's something I don't understand …"
After all the outsiders had left, Su Xiaoman asked, "There was no need to make such a big fuss today … Although it was very satisfying to teach Du Tiannan and Yun Ziqiao a lesson! But showing off like that will make you the focus of the entire black market! You'll get into other trouble … "
"I did it on purpose!" Chen Xiaobei grinned. "The Yellow Wind black market has strict rules. No one dares to break them! Even if I'm targeted, I'll still be safe! "
"So, you did it on purpose? You purposely made people target you? "Su Xiaoman asked." But what's in it for you?
"I just wanted to try my luck! I wanted to see if the 'old man' behind the black market will target me or not! "
Chen Xiaobei said. "If the 'old man' has his eyes on me, he will definitely ask Liu Si about it! If Liu Si doesn't dare to lie, he will definitely mention my divine wine! If the 'old man' is interested in this wine, I will be able to make a fortune! "
"Oh!" Su Xiaoman exclaimed. "Childe! You're amazing! I thought you have a weird hobby of making people slap themselves in the face! I didn't expect that you purposely made a fuss because you have your own plan! "
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "As the saying goes, the world is like a game of chess. You have to calculate three moves! Use your brain more, calculate more, and the road ahead will be much easier! "
"The world is like a game of chess. You have to calculate three moves! That makes so much sense! "Su Xiaoman said with admiration." Childe! You're really worthy of being my idol. Ordinary people can't say such philosophical words! "
"Is it philosophical? It's alright … "Chen Xiaobei was speechless. He did not expect that the lines from Honor of Kings could be used to act cool.
It seemed like that game was not completely useless after all!
"But what if the 'old man' is not interested in your divine wine? After all, there's nothing wrong with his' root '… "Su Xiaoman said, blushing.
"Let's try our luck!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "That 'old man' is not an ordinary person. Who knows, he might have a deeper plan!"
"I don't really understand …" Su Xiaoman shook her head.
