This voice was like a thunderclap out of a clear sky!
Everyone turned their heads to look.
They saw a youth of seventeen or eighteen walking slowly towards them with his hands behind his back.
"It's you?"
Jin Cheng was stunned for a moment, then disdainfully said, "I think you've gone mad with desire for money!"
Huang Youcai was even more contemptuous.
Tieshan He was a top-level master who had attained Grand Accomplishment in internal strength. Even Zhou Meng was no match for him, yet this little novice who had just started learning internal strength actually dared to make a fool of himself here?
Qin Xuan ignored them and looked straight at An Bo Wen, "If this matter isn't resolved, you'll definitely have to take out 80 million today to save your life. Now I only want half.
40 million, and I'll settle this matter for you!"
Every word was sonorous and forceful, brimming with unmatched confidence!
An Bo Wen was shocked again and again. Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't believe that the youth before him could defeat Tieshan He.
But things had already reached this point and the situation couldn't get any worse. An Bo Wen decided to try his luck. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Alright, if you can really settle this matter, I'll give you 40 million!"
In that instant, Jin Cheng and the others burst into raucous laughter.
Look at this cornered dog.
In absolute adversity, he would actually place his hopes on a mere boy.
It had to be said, this was truly pathetic!
Tieshan He looked at Qin Xuan with interest. He was about to walk over when
Huang Youcai jumped out and sneered coldly, "I can't beat Zhou Meng, but I can certainly handle this brat. I've always hated people who like to show off. I'll teach him a lesson!"
Facing Zhou Meng, he had been obsequious.
But now seeing Qin Xuan, he wanted to attack with full force.
"Kneel before me!"
Huang Youcai punched towards Qin Xuan.
Bang!
Huang Youcai's fist landed squarely on Qin Xuan's chest. Qin Xuan didn't even try to dodge!
"Are you trying to tickle me?"
Qin Xuan's brows furrowed slightly as he casually backhanded Huang Youcai.
Huang Youcai immediately flew backwards, crashing into a pillar. His internal organs were damaged and he spit out mouthfuls of blood!
"!!!"
Jin Cheng and Tieshan He looked at each other, both revealing shocked expressions. They even felt chills down their spines!
No matter how poorly Huang Youcai had performed against Zhou Meng, he was still genuinely a master who had achieved Great Accomplishment in internal strength.
Yet now he was so easily defeated by Qin Xuan.
Was this a novice in internal strength?
Lying on the ground coughing up blood, Huang Youcai looked at Jin Cheng with killing intent almost tangible in his eyes!!
An Bo Wen had not held any hopes to begin with. He was just desperately clutching at straws. He never imagined...
That this youth would be so astonishing!
Tieshan He took a step forward, his expression solemn as he said, "You really are unexpected. At such a young age, you already have the strength of Grand Accomplishment in internal strength?"
Grand Accomplishment in internal strength?
Qin Xuan smiled without speaking.
The frog at the bottom of the well, how could it know of the grand sight of the roc spreading its wings and soaring through the heavens!
"You are truly exceptional, but you are too young and not yet my match. Leave now, and I can let this go." Tieshan He said.
Qin Xuan calmly replied, "If you leave now, I can also let this go. I keep my word."
"You're courting death?"
Tieshan He's eyes revealed arrogance, "I started practicing martial arts at 8, achieved Lesser Accomplishment in internal strength at 28, and just half a year ago, I was personally taught by a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Not just someone your age, even those my age would find it hard to defeat me!"
Qin Xuan suddenly understood.
So he was from a Grandmaster's sect.
No wonder his internal strength at the level of Grand Accomplishment faintly contained the sharpness of someone at the Half-Step Grandmaster level.
"The world is vast, you should be more respectful towards the unknown!"
Qin Xuan spoke indifferently. Then he lightly stamped his foot.
The faint dust around where Qin Xuan stood that was almost imperceptible earlier, now clearly gained a granular texture, mysteriously fluttering in the air.
Furthermore, a plate of peanuts on the table slowly rose into the air, seemingly coming alive and vibrating slightly.
"Go!"
Qin Xuan uttered a commanding voice.
Dozens of peanuts shot towards Tieshan He like arrows leaving the bow.
Tieshan He's pupils abruptly contracted. His face revealed indescribable shock and he shouted loudly: "Martial Arts Grandmaster!!"
Bang!
Tieshan He was blasted flying by the peanuts, crashing into a pillar. The impact left densely packed cracks on the pillar's surface!
In an instant, the atmosphere became dead silent.
Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Those four words that Tieshan He had shouted were like a sledgehammer viciously pounding everyone's hearts.
Manifesting inner strength...
A seventeen or eighteen year old Martial Arts Grandmaster!!
Jin Cheng's legs went soft on the spot and he kneeled on the ground, kowtowing frantically. "Mr. Qin, I was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai. I was fooled by those two idiots. Please give me another chance. Help me collect this debt and I'm willing to give you 50 million, or even 60 million!"
An Bo Wen was anxious.
But before he could speak, he heard Qin Xuan say, "I'm a man of principle. Since I agreed to help An Bo Wen, I can't go back on my word. If you want to live, you can also pay me 10 million!"
"Alright, thank you Mr. Qin!"
Jin Cheng's entire body shook like a sieve. He hurriedly agreed.
Even if Qin Xuan let him off, An Bo Wen definitely wouldn't in the end if he didn't pay up!
Compared to the 10 million, what Jin Cheng regretted more was that he had wasted the chance to gain the favor of a Grandmaster because he was trying to curry favor with Huang Youcai and Tieshan He.
He should have known that when he first gave Qin Xuan the supreme membership card to Jinmei Garden, he had the opportunity to continue befriending him!
Unfortunately, the chance was missed and would never come again.
At this time, Tieshan He painfully crawled up and frowned at Qin Xuan. "Just who are you? I've been practicing martial arts for so many years, yet other than my master I've never heard of such a young Martial Arts Grandmaster!"
"Your master?" Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"That's right. My master is only in her twenties, yet has already attained Great Accomplishment in the Integration Stage - the level of a top-tier Grandmaster! She's also a great beauty. This was already the most incredulous existence in my knowledge, yet you are also so..."
Tieshan He looked completely flabbergasted, even tripping over his words.
Qin Xuan had no interest in Tieshan He's beautiful female master and didn't find it shocking at all.
He couldn't help but think of Eighth Martial Sister.
Eighth Martial Sister was the one with the highest martial arts accomplishments among all his martial sisters!
If Eighth Martial Sister met Tieshan He's so-called beautiful master, a single slap would surely KO her.
"Stop blabbering useless things to me."
Qin Xuan pointed at Tieshan He, then at Huang Youcai. "If you want to leave, each of you has to leave 10 million behind!"
The two looked at each other. Despite their unwillingness, they did not dare haggle with a teenage Grandmaster and could only nod in agreement.
Yet Tieshan He was relatively stubborn. "I'll give you the money, but consider this carefully. Today you gravely injured me and it may impact my future martial path. This vengeance cannot be shared under the same sky!"
"Do as you please, just leave the money." Qin Xuan indifferently said.
Tieshan He gritted his teeth and left behind his bank card and password. Clutching his chest, he dejectedly left.
Huang Youcai had long been scared witless. He similarly left his bank card and password before fleeing without looking back.
Jin Cheng, Tieshan He, Huang Youcai - 30 million entered the account from their side.
An Bo Wen's side was 40 million.
This trip had angrily earned 70 million!
An Bo Wen timely walked over and said, "Mr. Qin, the amount on my side is larger, so I'll need some time to prepare. Will transferring it into your account by noon tomorrow work?"
"That's fine." Qin Xuan nodded.
"Great, great! I plan to give you 50 million. The extra 10 million can be considered a small token of my regard." An Bo Wen seized the chance to excessively fawn.
Giving 10 million more to gain the favor of a teenage Grandmaster...
Nothing could be more cost-effective!
Yet Qin Xuan directly rejected it on the spot: "No need, just give what you said earlier."
An Bo Wen was slightly disappointed but did not dare say anything more.
Qin Xuan did not linger and turned to leave.
Jin Cheng sighed long and hard, as if all strength had left his body. He wanted to slap himself.
He had the chance to gain a Grandmaster's favor yet ruined it entirely himself!
"Tsk tsk, I did manage to make out earlier that Mr. Qin seemed to be intending to help you?" An Bo Wen added insult to injury with a mocking laugh.
"..."
The corner of Jin Cheng's mouth twitched. "Don't get complacent. Mr. Qin helped you only for benefit. He doesn't have any intention of taking in a dog like you!"
An Bowen smiled instead of getting angry: "You're right, but I want to ask you, if we both try to butter up Mr. Qin, who has a better chance of becoming his lapdog?"
"Shut up!!"
"What's the matter, can't take the provocation? For the first time, I feel that being someone's dog is such an honorable thing. I will try my best to become Mr. Qin's loyal hound, while you, you don't even deserve to be a dog."
An Bowen patted Jin Cheng's face and left contentedly.
...
On the street corner.
Qin Xuan looked at the time, it was already close to 3 o'clock, his stomach made some noise, so he walked into a high-end restaurant nearby.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw a female store manager rushing out, muttering: "This is so sudden, where can I find someone who can play the piano in half an hour, even 2000 yuan per half hour didn't get anyone to take it..."
Hmm?
Qin Xuan immediately said, "Hello, I can play the piano, is it really 2000 yuan for half an hour?"
Although he had a bank card with 30 million yuan in it, he would not miss any opportunity to make money!
"You can play?"
The store manager looked Qin Xuan up and down, a little skeptical.
Qin Xuan nodded, and bargained with her: "Yes, but I hope you can add another 1000 yuan."
Seeing that Qin Xuan looked serious, not like he was lying, the store manager gritted her teeth and took him to change clothes.
This restaurant always had someone playing the piano to maintain its elegant atmosphere, but the piano teacher just now had something urgent to deal with and had to leave for a while, which made the store manager scream in panic.
Soon, Qin Xuan changed into a black suit.
There was no time to do his hair, so he just put on a top hat.
His whole temperament underwent an earth-shattering change.
Seeing this, the store manager was amazed.
Such a handsome and charismatic person, what was he doing wearing those shabby clothes?
He was really a weirdo!
Soon, Qin Xuan started playing.
He had learned the piano skills from Sixth Senior Sister.
Sixth Senior Sister was a talented woman, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, very different from the martial arts experts like Eighth Senior Sister.
She had an air of books and scrolls, like a classical beauty holding an umbrella and boating on a lake in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River...
Hearing the melodious music, the store manager's doubts were completely dispelled, with thick surprise in her eyes.
At this moment.
Two female college students, Chen Yan and Liu Xinxin, walked into the restaurant together.
"Yanyan, what are you doing? The seniors are waiting for us in the private room, why are you standing there in a daze?" Liu Xinxin asked.
Chen Yan stood far away, looking at the man in black tailcoat playing the piano.
For a moment, her eyes seemed a little obsessed...
