After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 291 - 235: Don’t Like Talking to Me While Standing?
Chapter 291: Chapter 235: Don’t Like Talking to Me While Standing?
Gu An had been sitting at the counter all this time.
He had been working here for almost half a year now.
Although he spent most of his time away, he still thought of this as just a little place.
If it was small, there usually wouldn’t be big troubles.
Regardless of whether it was a Sect or a town.
Only a very small number of people would easily get themselves involved in significant issues.
The numerous troubles he encountered himself, part of them were because he couldn’t tolerate being bullied.
However, most of the weaker individuals had to endure bullying, whether it was severe or mild.
Whether Cultivators or ordinary people.
When encountering someone who could slightly control the benefits, they were likely to be bullied.
A common man’s rage can lead to bloodshed in five steps.
But one had to bear the consequences.
Not everyone has such courage or such determination.
At least Gu An didn’t think the shop owner had it.
Thus, he never expected to get into trouble with the Ouyang Family.
The other party was in talisman making and had just advanced to the Golden Core.
Most likely got a bit arrogant.
Plus bad luck, running into this charming woman.
Hence, this trouble arose.
He didn’t know what would follow.
He could only sit in his original spot and watch the situation.
"Senior Ouyang, I didn’t mean any offense at all; it really has nothing to do with me," Qin Shufu began to explain.
"Nothing to do with you?" Ouyang Lie pointed to the woman beside him and asked, "Do you know her?"
"I do," Qin Shufu nodded.
"Have you taken her to various gatherings?"
"Yes, that happened once."
"Did you give her a token of love?"
"I did, gave her one."
"Have you made a covenant?"
"It was just mentioned."
"That means yes, so have you consummated the relationship as a couple?"
Faced with this question, Qin Shufu hesitated, but finally nodded: "Yes."
To this, Ouyang Lie laughed, "Then isn’t the result obvious? She belongs to you, but she has a debt of two hundred and sixty thousand Spirit Stones in our Ouyang family’s enterprise.
Because she couldn’t repay with Spirit Stones, she mortgaged your shop to us.
Now we’re here to take back the shop, is there a problem?"
Qin Shufu was stunned for a moment, then explained: "Senior, I truly am an old acquaintance of hers, but she came to swindle my Spirit Stones.
She swindled all of my savings, then kept asking me for more, threatening to disappear if I didn’t comply. She’s a swindler.
We are not a Daoist couple.
This shop is all the savings I have left."
"So what you mean is, we should just accept our bad luck?" Ouyang Lie looked at Qin Shufu and said:
"You’ve been swindled, but she has no Spirit Stones left.
Either you bear it, or I bear it.
Tell me, should you take the responsibility, or should I?"
Qin Shufu was taken aback.
He knew that whatever he said, it would be in vain.
"Just a shop, don’t you earn money to spend anyway? It’s all going to be spent, why not spend it on me? What’s so bad about that?" At this moment, the alluring woman spoke.
"But this could cost me my life," Qin Shufu said angrily.
"Life?" Wan Jingqian looked at the man in front of her and said, "Taking your life is to stab you with a knife. You react like this just for your Spirit Stones, no wonder you don’t have a Daoist partner, destined to be lonely.
If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even get to experience the joy of having a partner.
It’s just some Spirit Stones, right?
If you love me, can’t you just forget about your Spirit Stones? Forget about your savings, your shop. Even if you get badly injured, you should go and earn Spirit Stones to spend for my sake."
Qin Shufu looked at her, his breathing getting faster, and finally, he roared: "You... how can you be so shameless?"
"But I’m living better than you, aren’t I?" Wan Jingqian replied disdainfully to Qin Shufu.
"Enough, I’m not here to listen to your nonsense, I am here for the shop," Ouyang Lie looked at Qin Shufu and said: "Take your woman and leave, and hand the shop over to me."
Qin Shufu was about to say something when Ouyang Lie’s gaze intensified, and then his figure changed, coming right in front of Qin Shufu.
With a slap.
Qin Shufu almost didn’t stand steady.
He was both shocked and angry.
The power of the Golden Core Early Stage burst forth.
"Want to fight back?" Ouyang Lie sneered, "Don’t tell me you’ve just advanced to the Golden Core Early Stage, even if you’ve been in this realm for a long time, you’re no match for me."
The rage-filled Qin Shufu eventually lowered his head.
He remained silent.
"Not daring?" Ouyang Lie said, "If you don’t dare, then hand over the deed to the house, and then take your people and scram."
Qin Shufu was silent for a long while; Gu An saw his fist clenched tightly.
He felt that no matter how strong Ouyang Lie was, he wouldn’t dare make a big scene and kill him here.
But what about afterwards?
He could dodge the first day but not the fifteenth.
After contemplating deeply, his inner anger increasingly subsided.
Without the courage to act on impulse at first, he had even less courage later on.
People can convince themselves.
Using the fear, hesitation, and attachment in their hearts as a base, they persuade themselves not to be impetuous, as there is still a long road ahead.
These families, he couldn’t afford to provoke them.
In the end, he chose to compromise.
He had just advanced to the Golden Core; he still had a long life ahead.
But just as he was about to give up, suddenly a voice came through.
"Um, I have a suggestion."
Hearing this, everyone looked towards the counter.
Qin Shufu was somewhat surprised; he thought Gu An had already run away, but he hadn’t expected him to still be there.
"Who are you?" Ouyang Lie’s brows furrowed.
Gu An looked at everyone looking over, and seriously said, "I’m an employee of the shop."
"Qi Refinement?" Ouyang Lie sneered:
"What gives you the right to stand and talk to me?
An ignorant fool."
As his words fell,
Ouyang Lie disappeared again, directly moving to attack Gu An.
However, the next moment, Gu An likewise vanished from his original spot.
He clashed with Ouyang Lie like a beam of light in the cramped store.
Subsequently, waves of power dispersed in all directions.
