Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

Who else could it be but Qin Xiao?

Qin Xiao had long known that the mine was full of hilltops and would not easily submit to him, the new manager.

But to his surprise, these people were so audacious that they openly declared they would sideline him.

Immediately, he looked at the group of people in front of him with icy eyes.

He wanted to see how these people would try to sideline him.

Qin Xiao suddenly appeared.

This immediately startled the three deputy chief stewards and numerous managers.

No one expected Qin Xiao to suddenly appear like a ghost and overhear their conversation.

Immediately, many of the managers panicked.

After all, it's easier to discuss things privately, but now that someone has caught us red-handed, it's a huge problem.

However, the three deputy chief stewards were not worried at all; instead, they showed cold smiles.

"Qin Xiao, right!"

Zhao Yaowu looked at Qin Xiao with disdain, "Listen to me carefully, everything in this mine is the responsibility of the three of us deputy managers."

"Even if you are the steward appointed by the head of the family, you are not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the mine."

"If you behave yourself, we might call you the steward and give you some of the profits."

"If you're foolish enough to meddle in other people's business, hehe—"

Zhao Yaowu's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he sneered, "The caves in this mine are interconnected, leading to countless hidden ditches. If one or two people go missing occasionally, no one will care."

Instead of panicking upon seeing Zhao Yaowu, he threatened to make him disappear.

Qin Xiao smiled, not looking at Zhao Yaowu, but at the other two deputy chief stewards:

"Is that what you mean too?"

"Not bad." He Guang looked at Qin Xiao with amusement. "Qin Xiao, you can just relax here, drinking tea and enjoying your retirement. Not only do you not have to put in any effort, but you can also get a share of the profits. Isn't that great? This way, everyone is happy."

"If you start pointing fingers and giving orders, don't blame us for being ruthless. You might lose face or even your life, and that wouldn't be good."

"I feel the same way." Luo Wei also showed no respect for Qin Xiao.

"Well said." Qin Xiao clapped his hands and laughed.

"From what you're saying, I almost thought this mine didn't belong to the Su family, but to the three of you."

"pity--"

Suddenly, the smile on Qin Xiao's face vanished, turning icy cold. "I am the chief steward. You deputy chief stewards dare to speak rudely to my face and even try to sideline me. You are simply absurd."

"As the steward appointed by the head of the family, I have the authority to dismiss all three of you!"

"From this day forward, the three of you are no longer the deputy managers of the mine. I order you to return to the family immediately and await their judgment!"

This statement came out.

In an instant, everyone present was in an uproar.

No one expected that Qin Xiao would be so bold as to directly dismiss the three deputy chief managers.

This is a direct confrontation with the three deputy chief stewards!

Where did this old man get the audacity to do such a thing?

Sure enough, I heard this.

The three deputy chief stewards' faces immediately darkened.

"You're really asking for it!"

Zhao Yaowu glared fiercely at Qin Xiao, then grinned maliciously at He Guang and Luo Wei, "He Guang, Luo Wei, this bastard actually said he'd dismiss the three of us! What do you say we do about it?!"

"Break his legs, lock him up in a mine, and let him starve to death."

Luo Wei said coldly, "When the time comes, we'll just find some excuse to report to the family, saying he died in the mine. Do you think the family would make things difficult for the three of us for an old dog who's about to die?"

"Well said." He Guang looked at Qin Xiao with murderous intent in his eyes. "You bastard, you really think too highly of yourself. You're so old, yet you're as naive as a child, thinking the outside world is the same as the family."

"Since you refuse to cooperate with us, then you might as well die!"

"Die, Iron Mountain Lean!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yaowu made his move without hesitation!

An incomparably fierce aura erupted from him, and in an instant, his tall and burly body charged towards Qin Xiao like a tiger, crashing headlong into him.

That terrifying force caused the air to explode with a tremendous roar, as if a meteorite had crashed into Qin Xiao.

Such terrifying power would likely shatter the bones in the entire body of any early-stage Refining Skin Realm martial artist if struck by it.

Seeing this, He Guang and Luo Wei both had smug smiles in their eyes, looking at Qin Xiao as if he were a dead man.

They had fought Zhao Yaowu for many years, but they knew best just how terrifying this move of Zhao Yaowu's was.

Qin Xiao, an old codger in the early stage of Skin Refining, might very well die on the spot after taking this hit.

The managers all looked on with amusement, and even those who felt a little sorry for Qin Xiao dared not show it.

however.

The next moment, everyone's expression froze.

They were immediately confronted with Zhao Yaowu's terrifying killing move.

Qin Xiao remained expressionless, showing no sign of emotion, and neither dodged nor evaded, allowing Zhao Yaowu to attack him.

However, just as Zhao Yaowu was about to bump into him...

Qin Xiao moved, boom!

Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted.

Everyone present at that moment.

They were all horrified to see Qin Xiao's seemingly frail and aged body.

Suddenly, it seemed to transform into a terrifying, unparalleled prehistoric beast.

Every gesture he made exuded a terrifying aura that was suffocating.

Qin Xiao unleashed a punch.

In an instant, it transformed into an incredibly fast afterimage.

Like a cannonball, it slammed into Zhao Yaowu's body.

The moment the two clashed.

With a loud bang.

The terrifyingly loud noise nearly shattered the eardrums of everyone present.

The entire mine began to shake precariously, as if an earthquake had struck.

With a scream, Zhao Yaowu's body rebounded at a speed many times faster than before, flying dozens of meters before crashing into a pile of ore, kicking up clouds of dust.

Qin Xiao, however, stood firmly in place, without the slightest change in his appearance.

Quiet.

For a moment, an eerie silence filled the air.

Everyone stared at Qin Xiao in disbelief.

He Guang and Luo Wei were even more horrified.

No one expected that Qin Xiao, who had only become a martial artist a few days ago, would possess such terrifying strength.

With just one move, he utterly crushed Zhao Yaowu.

"How could that be? You just became a martial artist, and you're still practicing that trashy Five Animal Frolics technique!"

Luo Wei stared at Qin Xiao in disbelief, "How can you be so strong!"

Qin Xiao didn't answer Luo Wei, but instead chuckled, his smile playful as he said:

"Didn't you just say you were going to break my legs and throw me into a mine to starve to death?"

"Come on, let's get started."

Luo Wei's expression changed, and his eyes suddenly became uncertain.

He Guang, who was standing to the side, also looked embarrassed; both of them realized that things were going badly.
