After the rebirth of the master's wife who was hated by everyone, all of them were burned to de

He forced a smile and bowed respectfully to the people on the second floor, saying, "There is no Xuan Lei Tower in Jinbao Pavilion."

"You'd better not be so tactless, otherwise..."

Before he could finish the rest of the words, Hong Qing's pressure had already been released, causing some people with lower cultivation levels to have difficulty breathing.

The middle-aged man who was hosting the event couldn't hold on any longer. His knees gave way and he fell directly onto the red cloth, unable to lift his head.

Despite the heavy burden on his shoulders, he still managed to maintain a proper smile. Beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and veins popped out of his neck.

"There is no Xuanlei Tower in Jinbao Pavilion." He still insisted.

To outsiders, this seems like Hong Qing is bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

"I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin!" Hong Qing raised his foot and kicked the corridor fence directly.

The wooden railing fell, frightening the people below and causing them to flee. One person was unable to dodge and was hit on the shoulder by the wooden railing. Fortunately, the monk was strong and did not suffer any injuries.

Tao Fengzhi went out first and stopped Hong Qing from attacking. He was still smiling. As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles. He bowed and asked, "Elder Hong Qing, why are you so impulsive?"

He smiled. Ordinary people could find no fault with him, but he happened to meet this violent and shameless Hong Qing who did not play by the rules.

"Where is the Xuan Lei Pagoda?" Hong Qing said in a cold and hard tone.

Not to mention that the person standing in front of him now is the young master, a medicine cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm who hasn't even fully grown a hair yet. Even if it was the sickly old master who came, he might not give him face.

He is used to being arrogant and hates these businessmen the most, so how could he give them a good face?

"What is the Xuanlei Tower?"

Tao Fengzhi was surprised, with a bewildered expression on his face. He then leaned over and asked the person on the first floor, "Is there a Xuan Lei Tower here?"

"If I were to reply to the Young Master, no."

After the people below answered, Tao Fengzhi turned around, bowed, and said with a smile: "Elder Hong Qing, there is no Xuan Lei Pagoda this time." His courtesy was so thoughtful that no one could find any fault with him.

"No?"

Hong Qing sneered, took a step forward, and released a powerful pressure, easily suppressing the smiling young man in front of him. How dare you ignore me?

"Let alone you, even if your father came, I wouldn't give him face. Who do you think you are? Just lowly merchants who buy and sell here and there, huh?"

Tao Fengzhi's back bent, but he gritted his teeth and resisted. His knuckles turned white as he pinched the paper fan. Although he was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly, the smile on his lips grew deeper and deeper.

Not to mention Tao Fengzhi, even Zhou Jingyue in the room felt uncomfortable and started coughing: "Cough cough——"

Lin Xuxi curled her lips.

The heavy burden on Tao Fengzhi's shoulders outside was suddenly lifted. He originally thought that Hong Qing had changed his mind and retracted his magical powers, but when he saw that the other party still had a fierce look on his face, he suddenly guessed something and turned his head to look inside the house again.

It seems that Master Lin's cultivation level is not as rumored by the outside world.

"Elder Hong Qing, the Xuan Lei Pagoda is indeed not available at this auction." Tao Fengzhi regained his composure and ease, waving his paper fan and smiling, "Besides, the Xuan Lei Pagoda is something that depends on fate. If Jinbao Pavilion is not lucky enough to obtain such a treasure, there is nothing we can do."

"The Xuanlei Tower is in the Jinbao Pavilion, I know it!"

Lin Xuxi felt something was wrong when she heard this. How could Hong Qing be so sure that the Xuan Lei Pagoda must be here? Such a certain attitude clearly meant someone had told him something.

However, since the Xuan Lei Pagoda is a matter between the sect leader and the old boss, how could it be known to the outside world?

Even she only told Jing'er in the letter that she was going to Jinbao Pavilion for something, and did not reveal her true intention.

Who leaked the secret?

"I'm afraid someone is talking nonsense. The Xuanlei Pagoda is not in the Jinbao Pavilion."

Seeing that the man was still trying to argue, Hong Qing sneered, "Businessmen are greedy and ungrateful, as expected."

Upon hearing this, Tao Fengzhi's face darkened. They were businessmen, no doubt, but Jinbao Pavilion had an excellent reputation. They might occasionally receive goods of unknown origin, but they would never forget their principles for the sake of profit.

This person's words are really rude. What is he talking about elders?

"Elder Hong Qing's words are really harsh. Feng Zhi's dealings with others are impeccable, but Elder Hong Qing is ungrateful all the time. He always belittles others and is really hateful." Zhou Jingyue frowned.

He didn't remember Elder Hong Qing being such a person who couldn't tell right from wrong. In his previous impression, although Elder Hong Qing had a bad temper sometimes, he was a very good and righteous person.

How could he bully a junior like Feng Zhi and speak rudely to him many times?

Lin Xuxi was not surprised by this.

Hong Qing entered the world of immortal cultivation with her. She was born with spiritual bones and was inspired by her master. Hong Qing's spiritual roots were also good. In the human world, he was a young general respected by everyone and had a promising future.

In the human world, he looked down on scholars, thinking them pedantic, but at least there were people who could stand on equal footing with him. However, the human world was divided into classes: scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans.

What he despised most were businessmen. Even after so many years, they hadn't changed at all, and in fact, they became more and more arrogant as their cultivation improved.

"Master's wife, was Elder Hong Qing always such a person?" Zhou Jingyue couldn't understand.

He had met Elder Hong Qing a few times before, and remembered that he was not such a person.

That's normal. He mostly praises Hong Qing to those who are not familiar with him and have only met him a few times. But if they spend a few days together, no one will say good things about Hong Qing anymore.

"It's getting more ridiculous."

After Lin Xuxi finished speaking, she heard a commotion outside. She must have been arguing. She slowly put down her teacup, stood up, and pushed the door open to go out.

Hong Qing jumped down from the second floor carrying Tao Fengzhi and threw him onto the stage, not giving the young master of Jinbao Pavilion any face in front of everyone.

With his cultivation suppressed, Tao Fengzhi was like a dough that could be manipulated at will in Hong Qing's hands.

"Elder Hong Qing, I respect you as an elder of the Sword Sect and that's why I treat you so well. You should also give Jinbao Pavilion some face!" The smile on Tao Fengzhi's face became even wider.

He was clearly thrown onto the stage, his gorgeous clothes were a little messy, and he even fell to the ground and was pinned down by another person, but he did not look panicked or embarrassed at all.

"Huh? I came here to participate in your auction to give face to the Jinbao Pavilion, but you always put me down and snatched Lingxian and Xuantie away. It's fine, but now you've also hidden the Xuanlei Pagoda. It's time to teach you a lesson."

Hong Qing didn't care at all that so many people were watching him, he even felt a secret pleasure.

Everyone saw that he was so powerful that he could suppress the Jinbao Pavilion. Others still had to be cautious, but he didn't. Because he was the elder of the Sword Sect, Hong Qing.

His male chauvinism was satisfied at this moment.

"Where is the Xuanlei Tower?"

Tao Fengzhi continued to smile and said, "There is no Xuanlei Tower in Jinbao Pavilion."

A gust of sword wind lifted the golden tassel on Tao Fengzhi's left side. The golden tassel was cut off by the heavy sword, and the falling half hit the back of his hand.

"Hand over the Black Thunder Tower!"

"There is no Xuanlei Tower in Jinbao Pavilion!" Tao Fengzhi's smile did not diminish.

Lin Xuxi watched from the second floor and had some admiration for Tao Fengzhi. He knew Hong Qing was really going to kill him, yet he remained calm and composed. This kind of calmness, even in the face of a catastrophe, was much better than others.

"Good, good, good! You have such a hard mouth!" Hong Qing raised his heavy sword and chopped it down hard at Tao Fengzhi's face.
