A Landscape Painting
When Ye Zichen said that, the temperature in the hallway of the guest room dropped to a freezing point.
Cai Renfei's expression fluctuated for a long time. Remember, he was a tyrant in the Profound Great District. With the Cai Family behind him, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
He clenched his fists, and his body trembled. It was obvious he was on the verge of exploding.
"Cai ….."
The innkeeper braced himself and tried to smooth things over, but to his surprise, after a few moments of hesitation, Cai Renfei smiled kindly and nodded.
"Then I'll listen to you, Senior."
Cai Renfei cupped his hands respectfully, then led his subordinates out of the corridor. When he left the Hundred Daybreaks Inn, he stood in front of it and stared at it for a long time.
"Young Master, are we just going to let it go?"
Asked one of the attendants, a peak human immortal expert. He'd followed this young master for so long, he knew he wasn't someone who'd be so easy to talk to.
Cai Renfei looked away, his expression incomparably dark. His gloomy face was so dark it seemed as if it were on the verge of exploding. His arms trembled violently, as if he were doing all he could to suppress the raging fury in his heart.
"A bunch of trash."
Cai Renfei viciously cursed his subordinates. They lowered their heads, not daring to breathe too loudly. Even the heavily injured followers tried their best not to let out a painful gasp.
Cai Renfei glanced coldly at the attendants beside him, then took out a few pills from his bosom and tossed them to the injured attendants. The attendants caught the pills and thanked him profusely. Cai Renfei then opened his mouth and said, "What are you doing here?
"A mighty dragon cannot suppress a local serpent. That kid just now isn't simple. Although the Cai Family is a major family in the Profound Great District, this is still Raging Flame City. Furthermore, the clan elders aren't here yet. The less trouble, the better. I'll endure this enmity for now, but I, Cai Renfei, am absolutely not easy to bully. No matter what, don't let me see him in the Profound Great District. When the time comes, I'll definitely teach him a lesson. "
He glanced sinisterly at the Hundred Daybreaks Inn. Cai Renfei would never forget the humiliation he'd suffered just now.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but a villain's revenge is unscrupulous!
This debt had to be repaid sooner or later!
"Let's go."
Cai Renfei's departure caused Kong San to be unable to help but heave a sigh of relief. However, based on his understanding of that Young Master, he would absolutely not let this matter go.
Looking at the series of previous performances, that Young Master seemed to be very afraid of this Young Master in front of him, but he wasn't afraid of him, Kong San!
Thinking of this, Kong San felt a little apprehensive. He was a little worried that Cai Renfei would put the blame on him. With no other choice, he could only summon a shop assistant and reluctantly take out a famous painting from his spatial ring and hand it over to the shop assistant. He repeatedly instructed the shop assistant to deliver it to Young Master Cai and properly apologize to him.
Although the waiter was unwilling, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Kong San watched the waiter leave, then looked towards Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen squatted in front of the beaten employee, wiped his face with his palm, and instantly, his swollen face returned to normal.
"It must have been hard on you."
Ye Zichen patted the waiter's shoulder with a wry smile.
"It's my fault for not being able to avenge you. Don't blame me, but Cai Renfei is a young master of the Profound Great District. I don't know his background, so I can't be too ruthless. "
Ye Zichen's words came from the bottom of his heart. Right now, his foundation was truly unstable. If he were alone before, he'd naturally have nothing to fear and nothing to lose.
But now that he'd established the Chaos Sect, his heart was in danger. He really had to think things through carefully.
The waiter laughed foolishly and shook his head. He understood Ye Zichen's difficulties.
"Here's fifty thousand spirit coins." As he spoke, he pulled a spatial pouch from his spatial ring and shoved it into the waiter's hands. "I heard you're about to get married. Consider this a gift from your big brother."
"Sir ….."
The waiter's eyes flashed with gratitude. He really was about to get married, but it was still a long time away. Ye Zichen was clearly giving him money because he felt guilty about being beaten up and wanted to make it up to him. However, the beating had nothing to do with Ye Zichen at all.
For a moment, the waiter didn't know what to say. All he could do was clench the pouch and thank Ye Zichen repeatedly.
"Alright, go back to your business."
"Alright."
The waiter nodded and left. Kong San saw all of this. He looked around, then cupped his hands at Ye Zichen.
"I've caused you trouble."
He was just being polite. In terms of trouble, the way Kong San saw it, Ye Zichen was the real problem. To his surprise, Ye Zichen nodded noncommittally and smiled.
"So you know you've caused trouble for me? In that case, shouldn't you compensate me for my losses?"
This wasn't Ye Zichen taking the opportunity to extort money. This was, of course, trouble. Kong San was a descendant of a major family in the Profound Great District. The two of them shouldn't have crossed paths, but because of a guest room, they'd become enemies!
Fortunately, he'd run into Ye Zichen. If it were anyone else, they might have lost their life.
Wasn't this trouble?
Kong San smiled bitterly. He was a small merchant from Raging Flame City. He couldn't afford to offend Cai Renfei, but neither could he afford to offend this man.
He steeled his resolve and took out a landscape painting from his spatial ring. He'd won it at the Skyspan Trading Company's auction a dozen or so years ago. Apparently, it contained the Dao of the Five Elements.
In the seventy-two districts, where the strong preyed on the weak, no one cared about reason.
Kong San wanted to improve his strength further, so he'd spent a fortune on the painting. However, after studying it for several years, he hadn't comprehended even the slightest bit of its mysteries.
He naturally didn't suspect the Skyspan Trading Company of lying to their customers. If the Skyspan Trading Company said it contained the Dao of the Five Elements, then it definitely did. If he hadn't comprehended it, that could only mean his comprehension skills weren't good enough.
Leaving the painting in his possession would be a waste. He might as well take it out and offer it to the Buddha.
"Painting? How much is it? How about you give me some cash?"
Luxury items like landscape paintings were for the old antiques of major family clans. Upheaval had just been established, and he was short on cash. Giving him landscape paintings was better than giving him actual spirit coins.
Kong San laughed bitterly. This guy really wasn't stupid. He actually wanted him to give him some cash? But if he really had to take a discount, he really couldn't take out that much cash.
"My lord, this isn't an ordinary landscape painting. I bought it at the Skyspan Trading Company's auction a dozen or so years ago. It contains the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth. I heard the Trading Company say it's hiding a great secret? "
"The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth? A great secret? Why don't you show me? "
