From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

Chapter 113 Are you a useless coward?

"Third Master Lie, why didn't you send a servant to inform us of your arrival beforehand? We could have had the streets swept and then personally greeted you at the gate. We are so sorry that you just walked in like this."

Zhao Dacheng and the others quickly got up to greet them, looking extremely respectful and apprehensive.

"Welcome? Hmph, if I had sent someone to tell you in advance, you probably would have closed the gates."

Gu Chenglie glanced at the four of them and gave a cold laugh.

"How dare I? How dare I?"

The four men wiped their sweat and repeatedly denied it.

Gu Chenglie told them to raise the price, but now they've lowered it back down, or even lower. Gu Chenglie's arrival now is undoubtedly to reprimand them.

They were just merchants; how could they not be afraid?

Gu Chenglie ignored the four people and walked straight toward the banquet.

Chen Shi had already stood up and stepped aside to bow with his hands clasped.

"Greetings, Third Master."

"Manager Chen has quite the nerve."

Gu Chenglie sat down in the main seat, glanced at the table full of fine wine and delicacies, then looked up at Chen Shi with a cold smile.

"Who do you think you are, a mere servant, to presume to eat at someone else's banquet!"

"I certainly don't have that kind of face; I'm just taking advantage of my master's fame."

Chen Shi answered calmly, without any change in expression on his face.

"It's good that you understand."

As if punching cotton, Gu Chenglie snorted coldly again, too lazy to waste any more words with Chen Shi, and shouted directly.

"Tell me! What methods did you use to get your uncle to side with you?"

"I don't understand what you mean by that, Third Master."

"I mean, what method did you use to get your uncle to speak to the pharmaceutical companies and stop them from...?"

At this point, Gu Chenglie suddenly stopped.

There are some things that can be done, and everyone knows it, but they can't be discussed openly.

"What are we not allowing them to do?"

Chen Shi immediately pressed for an answer, his eyes widening as he looked at Gu Chenglie with an innocent expression.

"Stop playing dumb with me!"

Gu Chenglie gave a rebuke, but did not continue arguing with Chen Shi.

After several encounters, he realized that Chen Shi was eloquent and persuasive, and that he was no match for him in a verbal battle.

Furthermore, as a master, why should he waste his breath talking to a servant?

Then his expression hardened, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"To tell or not to tell!"

"Third Master, there's no reason for your words. I really don't know what to say."

"Fine, fine, you won't talk, huh? Then we'll beat you until you do!"

Gu Chenglie smiled coldly and raised his hand in a gesture.

The next moment, the group of servants he brought rushed straight towards Chen Shi with menacing expressions.

"Ouch!"

Seeing that they were about to attack, Zhao Dacheng and the others cried out in alarm and hurriedly dodged and retreated.

As for persuasion, what kind of status do they have to be qualified to advise Gu Chenglie?

Facing the group of powerful servants rushing towards him, Chen Shi's face darkened, and he directly met their attack with a punch.

If we're going to fight, then let's fight!

boom!

With a muffled thud, a servant was sent flying more than ten meters away, landing on the ground where he twitched once before losing consciousness.

Although these servants also practiced martial arts, they were at most ninth-rank, and some were not even at the final rank. How could they withstand a punch from Chen Shi?

However, the enemy outnumbered them and Chen Shi dared not hold back, otherwise he would easily suffer losses.

His blood and energy suddenly surged forth, like a tiger descending a mountain, charging into the crowd and unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks.

"...How could this be!"

Seeing Chen Shi like a tiger among sheep, Gu Chenglie's eyes widened in astonishment.

He knew that Chen Shi had already been assigned a rank, but he thought that Chen Shi was only a ninth-rank official!

After all, he only placed the order last year, which is only a few months ago.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have only brought these low-level servants; he would have brought along several experts.

Looking at him now, with his blood energy bursting forth, it was clear that Chen Shi had already reached the eighth rank of cultivation.

Moreover, Chen Shi was extremely fierce and ruthless, clearly a seasoned fighter, far superior to these servants who had merely practiced some martial arts.

That's true, after all, Chen Shi was someone who came back alive from the search team.

Therefore, his men are probably no match for him.

"hateful!"

Realizing his miscalculation, Gu Chenglie was furious, but it was too late for regrets.

boom!

Another muffled thud, and in the blink of an eye, all of Gu Chenglie's men were lying on the ground, some unconscious, others rolling around screaming in agony.

Chen Shi, his body brimming with blood and his face grim, walked toward Gu Chenglie.

"...What do you want!"

Gu Chenglie, who hadn't yet come to his senses, was startled by what he saw. Although he was already at the eighth rank, he was still intimidated by Chen Shi's aura.

Chen Shi ignored him, walked straight to the side, picked up a handkerchief from the ground, and wiped the bloodstains on his hands—the blood from hitting someone.

He then let out a soft breath, gathered his blood energy, and bowed to Gu Chenglie.

"Thank you, Third Master, for allowing me to spar with you. I have learned a great deal."

"A friendly spar?"

Gu Chenglie was taken aback, then his face darkened.

Look at my men lying all over the ground, is this supposed to be a friendly spar?!

But Chen Shi's words were undoubtedly giving him a way out.

"Hmph, next time, you definitely won't be so lucky!"

Gu Chenglie snorted coldly and said through gritted teeth.

Chen Shi remained expressionless, but inwardly he sneered.

Gu Chenglie wasn't going to let this go easily and would definitely bring his best fighters next time. However, he had something to rely on, so what was he afraid of?

He glanced around and then spoke directly.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have some errands to finish, so I'll head back now."

"Trying to leave? Did I say you could leave?!"

Gu Chenglie shouted, "It's not that easy!"

Chen Shi didn't say anything more and stood there obediently.

Gu Chenglie was taken aback again, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say for a long time.

That's right. If he doesn't let Chen Shi leave, what can he do to Chen Shi?

If we can't deal with Chen Shi, we should at least embarrass him; otherwise, Gu Chenglie will lose face.

Seeing Gu Chenglie in a difficult situation, Chen Shi smiled contemptuously.

"You lackey!"

Gu Chenglie was furious that Chen Shi dared to mock him, but he couldn't do anything about it for the time being.

After all, his men had already been defeated by Chen Shi.

Even if he returned to the Marquis's residence, he wouldn't be able to punish him without a pretext. Moreover, Chen Shi was Gu Chengze and Xiao Fengxiao's man, not a servant in his courtyard.

Just as he was in a dilemma, he suddenly caught sight of the girls from Lan Yue Lou. A flash of inspiration struck him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Zhao Dacheng, you've really gone to great lengths, even inviting Miss Chenbi."

"Just for fun, that's all."

Seeing that the game was over, Zhao Dacheng came over, wiping his sweat as he spoke repeatedly.

"To liven things up? What kind of livening up?"

Gu Chenglie suddenly smiled and pointed at Chen Shi.

"To entertain him?"

"this……"

"Heh, if that's the case, Zhao Dacheng, you've miscalculated."

Gu Chenglie snorted softly, his gaze turning sinister.

"Don't you know that he can no longer be a man?"

"What?"

Not only Zhao Dacheng, but everyone else was also stunned.
