The Earth won't allow someone as awesome as me to exist!

These words were spoken.

The expressions of everyone in the Xu family changed.

How many people today don't know Qin Xian?

He's already the number one in the martial arts world, who dares to disrespect him? Who dares to disobey him?

The Xu family was quite surprised when the governor's son started cursing Qin Xian, calling him nobody.

Be careful what you say.

Xu Qing quickly lowered his voice and said, "This Qin Xian is the number one martial artist in the world today, and is known as a legend. He kills people without hesitation. It would be best not to say anything about him."

However, the sons of officials and nobles were immediately displeased upon hearing this advice.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Do you think our Brother Ma can't afford to offend that Qin Xian?"

"Heh, since your Xu family came to me, Brother Ma, for help, yet you don't trust me, Brother Ma, isn't that looking down on me?"

"Do you know who we are? We hold all the martial arts power in Huangzhou. If we wanted, a single word from us could bring your Xu family to ruin."

"What martial arts family? In our eyes, they're not even worthy of carrying our shoes!"

"..."

The sons of officials and nobles were clearly getting angry.

These sons of officials and nobles had all heard of Qin Xian's name to some extent, but they still didn't take him seriously.

Because rumors are just rumors, and no matter how powerful they are, how can they be compared to those of high-ranking officials?

Of course, their status also means that the information they have access to is limited.

While it may seem like the pinnacle of martial arts power in Huangzhou, it's actually nothing compared to the true elites of the martial arts world.

After these sons of high-ranking officials got angry, everyone in the Xu family broke out in a cold sweat.

"Xu Qing, don't be rude!"

The old man sternly reprimanded him.

"This is the Xu family home, it's not your place to speak here," Xu Sheng reprimanded.

Xu Qing was speaking the truth. She had personally witnessed Qin Chuan's strength and was well aware of how terrifying he was, but unfortunately, these people simply wouldn't listen to her.

"You think I can't beat that Qin Xian?"

Being spoken to like that by the woman he liked made Ma Hai feel a little embarrassed.

Xu Qing didn't speak; silence was the best answer.

Ma Hai's expression grew increasingly grim: "Then I'd like to see what this Qin Xian is capable of, and what kind of trouble he can cause while I'm in control of the world!"

As the son of the governor, Huangzhou was a place where he held absolute power.

These days, martial artists aren't scary, but martial artists with power are truly terrifying.

Martial artists are already above the established order, and the only ones who can control them are the martial arts authorities. But the problem is, they themselves are the authorities.

Ma Hai pulled a cigar out of his pocket.

Xu Pengcheng eagerly went up and lit the fire.

"Brother Ma, this Qin Xian is indeed somewhat capable, but compared to you, Brother Ma, he's nothing."

This was obviously flattery.

However, Xu Pengcheng's limited perspective made it impossible for him to understand the meaning behind the name "Qin Xian".

This name strikes fear into the hearts of those in the martial arts world; even the true high-ranking figures in the martial arts community are terrified of it.

Only a few young and fearless individuals didn't take it seriously.

"Young Master Ma, our demands aren't high. If we can reduce it from 100 billion to 10 billion, we'll be satisfied." The old man made his demands very clear.

If it really is Qin Xian coming to collect the debt, the Xu family certainly can't come up with 100 billion. If they could settle it with 10 billion, the Xu family would be very happy.

After all, they were unwilling to offend this contemporary myth.

Although they hadn't seen how powerful their opponent really was, the Xu family wasn't stupid. They had heard a little about the final battle that had been making headlines recently.

I really dare not provoke them.

Despite having so many sons of officials and nobles, the Xu family never considered defaulting on their debts; they only wanted to reduce the amount as much as possible.

No martial artist is unafraid of Qin Chuan.

Unfortunately, Xu Sheng's family were not martial artists, and they believed Ma Hai's words without a doubt.

"Ten billion?"

Ma Hai took a puff of his cigar and exhaled a cloud of smoke: "The old man still doesn't trust me."

"Oh, Young Master Ma, what are you saying? My father has always been too cautious. If you can get them to not take a single penny, we would be more than happy to oblige," Xu Sheng quickly chimed in.

"Yes, yes, yes... that's the best way."

"We believe in Young Master Ma!"

Xu Pengcheng and his mother then echoed his sentiments.

Ma Hai's expression softened somewhat, and he slowly looked at Xu Qing: "Just watch, I'll make sure that Qin Xian doesn't get a single penny!"

Xu Qing didn't speak, but silently scoffed in his mind, "Ignorant."

However, she also knew that with so many sons of officials and nobles gathered together, even Qin Xian probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

At least the immortals of Huanglong Mountain Taoist Temple would absolutely not dare to act recklessly.

"Brother Ma, but this Qin Xian is indeed not simple. There have been many rumors about him lately..." A son of an official who had heard of Qin Chuan said hesitantly.

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Hai interrupted him: "He's just a martial arts bumpkin, why bother with him?"

Ma Hai is not a martial artist and rarely pays attention to the affairs of the martial arts world. He basically lives in the world of ordinary people. In Huangzhou, whether in the world of ordinary people or the world of martial artists, no one dares to offend him.

Compared to Qin Xian, he was more concerned about the beautiful Xu Qing in front of him.

"Then it's settled."

Ma Hai squinted at Xu Qing, growing more and more fond of her with each look: "How about we have a meal together after things are settled?"

Xu Qing did not speak.

"Xiao Qing!" The old man glared at her.

Xu Qing had no choice but to agree outwardly, no matter how much she disliked Ma Hai.

"Ha ha……"

Ma Hai laughed loudly: "That's more like it. As long as you make me happy and comfortable, I'll take care of this mere martial arts bumpkin for you."

This is already quite a blatant statement.

Xu Qing's expression was rather unpleasant.

What does it mean to make you feel good?

Nausea!

Even if Ma Hai is the governor's son, he is still just an ordinary person. How could Xu Qing possibly look down on him?

But there was nothing he could do; it was what his family needed, so Xu Qing had no choice but to submit to fate.

For some reason, she actually hoped Qin Chuan would do something reckless...

That evening, the Xu family held a banquet to entertain Ma Hai and other sons of officials and nobles.

Little did they know, a figure had already arrived at the Xu family's gate.

"What are you doing?"

The Xu family guards stopped the figure: "This is Xu family territory. Please leave immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Even if they were just guards of the Xu family, they were still high and mighty.

The figure did not leave, but simply said calmly, "Tell the Xu family that I'm here to collect a debt."
