Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Xiao Qi followed them to the door, then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned around and smiled at Lin Xiaoqian and the other man, saying, "I've heard that the wine in your shop is exceptional. Would I have the honor of tasting it?"

Lin Xiaoqian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, I'll give you two bottles to take back and try."

As he spoke, he walked to the liquor cabinet and took two bottles of Moutai. The coachman put the box down and waited on the side. At this moment, he quickly took the bottles.

Xiao Qi nodded: "Thank you."

Then he stepped onto the carriage using the footstools.

The carriage moved slowly and gradually disappeared into the night.

Lin Xiaoqian closed the door, then said to Jiang Shuang with a serious expression, "That emperor just attacked me."

Jiang Shuang clenched her fists, her face filled with shock: "What!"

Lin Xiaoqian quickly reassured him, "I'll be fine in the store; the system has taken care of it for me."

Jiang Shuang felt slightly relieved, but still looked furious: "That dog emperor is really cunning."

Lin Xiaoqian frowned slightly: "The system said that this emperor is a master-level expert. He just used 10% of his power on me. If it weren't for the system, I would probably be seriously injured and lying on the ground."

Previously, when Xiao Qi showed any intention to attack Lin Xiaoqian, the system issued a warning to Lin Xiaoqian.

However, Lin Xiaoqian did not let the system stun him; instead, she had it neutralize the internal force that Xiao Qi was attacking.

This serves two purposes: firstly, to intimidate Xiao Qi and make him wary of unknown forces.

Secondly, if the emperor of this dynasty were actually knocked unconscious and thrown out, the world would definitely be in an uproar once others found out.

They just wanted to exchange things steadily and peacefully, and didn't want to turn the world upside down.

Moreover, although the system task has been completed today, they still want to exchange more secret manuals with other sects to take back, so they can't just pack up and leave now.

Jiang Shuang said thoughtfully, "I wonder what he will do to us when he goes back this time."

Lin Xiaoqian frowned and said, "Let's ignore him for now. Let's try not to go out for the time being, and think of a way to exchange secret manuals with other sects later."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Jiang Shuang asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who would come over so late? Could it be that that damned emperor has returned again?"

The two walked up to the surveillance camera and glanced at it, only to discover that it was Jiang Xiaobai, the swordsman who had eaten pork trotter rice at the store a few days ago, followed by a middle-aged man. The two looked travel-worn.

"Why is he here so late at night?" Lin Xiaoqian muttered to herself.

Jiang Shuang went to open the door, and Jiang Xiaobai clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I'm so sorry to bother you so late at night."

Jiang Shuang glanced at the two of them: "May I ask what brings you here so late at night, sir?"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the middle-aged man behind him, then said to Jiang Shuang, "This is my master. May we go inside to talk?"

Jiang Shuang nodded slightly and stepped aside to let the two of them in. The middle-aged man even clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

Jiang Xiaobai clasped his hands in greeting to Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang: "Ladies, my name is Jiang Xiaobai, and I am a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. This is my master, Duan He. We are here today for the weapon I saw in your shop the other day."

Lin Xiaoqian asked the two to sit down, then smiled politely and said, "Master Jiang was also present that day, so he must know that we are here to exchange martial arts manuals."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "That's for sure. Our Qingcheng Sect is founded on swordsmanship, and we also have many unique secret manuals."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded and told the two the terms they had previously exchanged with the imperial court.

Jiang Xiaobai and his companion fell silent for a moment. In fact, they only had two Heaven-level manuals: one was a unique mental cultivation method, and the other was a sword technique. These two manuals couldn't even be exchanged for a pistol.

There are only eight Earth-level secret manuals in total, and as for the Profound-level ones, they felt they couldn't exchange them for weapons, so they didn't even bring them.

I thought I could get several rifles in exchange for these conditions.

It seems the only option now is to get a new pistol.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Lin Xiaoqian asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Duan He spoke up, "Could you please allow me to take a look at that weapon first?"

He had only heard his apprentices praise how powerful the weapon was, but he had never even seen it, so how could he know if it was worth exchanging for?

Lin Xiaoqian didn't hesitate and said, "Okay."

Upon hearing the conversation, Jiang Shuang immediately went behind the cashier's counter. Using the counter as cover, she took out a pistol and a rifle from her spatial ring and placed them on the table.

Duan He stepped forward and examined them closely. He noticed the two guns were exquisitely crafted, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Is this thing really that powerful?" Duan He touched the gun barrel and asked doubtfully.

Jiang Shuang nodded: "This pistol is extremely powerful; it can easily take a person's life within a hundred meters."

She took out the magazine, revealing the bullets to Duan He and showed them: "This contains gunpowder."

Duan He naturally knew about gunpowder, but could it really have such great power when contained in such a small object?

Jiang Xiaobai said from the side, "Master, I saw it with my own eyes, this weapon is indeed powerful."

Duan He gave him a veiled glare, then smiled at Jiang Shuang and asked, "Can I give it a try?"

Jiang Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Master Duan, of course we can try, but how can we try it so late at night?"

Duan He pointed outside the door: "There's no one on the street now, so let's try it outside. When I came here, I saw a big tree by the roadside, so I'll try it facing that tree."

Jiang Shuang thought about it and agreed. She loaded the pistol with a magazine and even installed a silencer. She handed it to Duan He and gave him a brief explanation of how to use it.

Duan He gripped the pistol, his hand trembling slightly, clearly indicating that he was also somewhat nervous.

He took a deep breath, followed Jiang Shuang's instructions, walked out of the shop, aimed at the large tree not far away, and pulled the trigger.

With a soft "bang," a deep hole appeared in the tree instantly.

Those with internal energy naturally have excellent eyesight. Duan He stared wide-eyed at the hole in the tree dozens of meters away, his face filled with disbelief. He murmured, "This, this speed is so fast!"

Jiang Xiaobai was also dumbfounded. After all, it was the first time he had ever seen the power of this pistol in person. If a pistol was this powerful, then what about a rifle...?

Duan He came to his senses and said, "This weapon is indeed extraordinary."

The group returned to the shop, and Jiang Xiaobai and his apprentice confirmed their idea of ​​exchanging the manuals, so they truthfully told each other the number of manuals they had.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaoqian sincerely said to Jiang Xiaobai, "How about this, I can give you two a rifle and a pistol, and give each gun an extra fifty rounds of ammunition. But I have one request."

Jiang Xiaobai's mind raced, and he hurriedly asked, "What are your requirements?"

"We need the two of you to inform the other sects as soon as possible that I can exchange this weapon for it, except for sects that have already submitted to the imperial court."

The secret manuals of the sects that have submitted to the imperial court are mostly in their hands, so there's not much point in telling them.

Although Duan He didn't want other sects to get such weapons, after weighing the options, he agreed, otherwise they would have left with only a small pistol.

Lin Xiaoqian added, "Also, tell them they only have a maximum of ten days to come and exchange."

They should go back in ten days.
