Chapter 172

Fist Fight

Xue Man's wild gaze swept across the crowd, everyone on the spot could not help but look down to their feet. He let out a grunt as the fat on his face squeezed into lumps, “Fifty-two silvers, not one less! If there was even one missing, don't even think that you would be able to leave this mine!” He then walked towards a young man of average build, side-eyed him and reached out his arm.

The young man took out a bag of silver from his pocket unwillingly, but before he could hand the money to him, Xue Man s.n.a.t.c.hed it from his hand. After Xue Man counted the money in the bag, he threw the entire thing to his back, where one of his subordinates caught it with their own pockets.

The young man suddenly wailed, “That was all of my savings!”

Xue Man lifted his foot and kicked the young man in the stomach, which led the young man to fall onto his knees in pain. Xue Man then grabbed onto the young man's hair as he inched his face to the young man with a grin, “It's not just your money that's mine, here on my turf, even your life is mine! If you don't like it, then scram!”

Chengfeng watched in anger, his body trembled in rage while his knuckles turned white from clenching his fists tightly.

If they were to follow the rulebook, there was no need for them to pay these fees. Especially if they were not planning on mining.

But, no one here had the funds to buy spirit rocks or spirit jades directly. And if they had none of these minerals, they would not be able to obtain magical weapons! And without magical weapons, could they even be counted as actual cultivators? If they were not actual cultivators, what for did they enter the Spiritual Mountain Sect for?

Xue Man knew very well regarding the thoughts of these cultivators, that was why he had no fear. He pushed the young man aside and walked to the next victim, after these young men had all given him their silver pouches cooperatively, he counted the money and would throw them behind him for his subordinate to catch.

As he was collecting his “fees”, even Su You, Tianjun and He Zhu who was built like a giant quietly obliged and gave him their money. However, when he was standing in front of Chengfeng, he realised that his hands were empty, and Chengfeng's glare towards him was filled with hostility.

Seeing that Chengfeng was tall and handsome, Xue Man felt a tinge of jealousy towards him. He glared at him and threatened, “What? You want to test out my rule?”

Chengfeng forced a smile and replied, “Oh, heavens, no! I would never!” He then took out fifty-two silver pieces and handed it to Xue Man. After counting the money and throwing it to his subordinate, Xue Man, however, yelled, “Not enough!”

Chengfeng was filled with rage, “Didn't you say it was fifty-two silvers?!”

Xue Man had his nose pointing upwards as he retorted, “I just can't stand the look of you! You have ruined my mood! So what? You don't want to give it?”

Chengfeng took a deep breath, he stared at Xue Man as he took out another fifty-two silver pieces. Before he could hand it to him, Xue Man had already s.n.a.t.c.hed from his palm.

Chengfeng thought that this would finally be over, who knew that Xue Man would reach out his hand once again. He smiled as he looked at Chengfeng, shouting, “Not enough!”

The vein on Chengfeng's temples had started to throb. “Why wasn't that enough?”

Xue Man side-eyed Chengfeng as he sneered, “Because I said it wasn't enough, so it's not enough! What are you gonna do about it?”

Chengfeng tried his best to calm his anger, “Then how much do you want?”

Xue Man thought about it then replied, “How much do you have?”

Chengfeng squinted his eyes as he glared at Xueman, “So you want to take all of my money?”

Xue Man let out a guffaw, “That's just how it is!”

“I see, so you're playing me, huh?” replied Chengfeng with a forced smile.

Xue Man's expression suddenly changed, he grinned as he spoke, “So what can you do about it? Who told you to look me in the eyes? You're not happy about it? Well if you're not happy about it, then scram!”

Chengfeng proceeded to glare at Xue Man, his face still maintained a smile, but his gaze was turning colder and colder.
