Chapter 53: Wolf Blade

Wolf Blade was an Origin Qi Scholar.

He was an Origin Qi Scholar in the fifth layer of the Origin Qi Realm.

He also had two sworn brothers, known as Red Eagle and Mountain Demon. They were in the third and fourth layer of the Qi Drawing Realm, respectively. In terms of cultivation level, all three brothers were stronger than Su Chen.

Drinking the wine for free was a small matter.

After all, wine was not that valuable.

However, what this signified was very different.

This was obviously a provocation, and at the same time it was a test.

In this world, the weak were prey to the strong. However, those idiots who tried to eat everything without observing things first were often eaten themselves.

So before swallowing up a target, they first had to test it out.

They needed to see if the other party was a piece of meat that could be hunted down. It was also prudent to determine if they were a weak piece of meat, and whether or not the meat would taste good. Finally, they needed to know if there were other wolves or dogs also eyeing that piece of meat……

Thus, everyone was watching attentively.

Watching to see how Su Chen would deal with Wolf Blade and his overbearing drinking.

If Su Chen was too gentle, then very quickly even more people would extort him in the same way. All of the Origin Qi Scholars would dare to do the same thing. They would first want to eat and drink for free, and then that would progress to simply taking whatever they wanted to take. In the end, they might even charge a “protection fee”, and Su Chen would be the one paying them money.

Of course, Su Chen could also respond with force. That depended on how he wanted to deal with these three Origin Qi Scholars who were testing him him.

Did Su Chen have a strong backer? A precious treasure? Or something else?

No one knew. However, in order to appropriately deal with this matter, he would have to reveal some kind of tactic.

Upon seeing his tactics, everyone would know how to proceed.

This small test was actually Su Chen’s first crisis.

If he could survive it, he could peacefully continue to do business until something else popped up.

Letting it slide wouldn’t work. Otherwise, he might as well take all the money that he had currently saved up and immediately get out.

Although Su Chen was not old, his experience was more than sufficient.

Sufficient enough to allow him to understand and estimate the human conscience. He knew the thoughts of those who were hidden in the shadows.

In the time that it took lightning to start a fire, Su Chen already had devised a plan.

He nodded his head and said, “Got it. I’ll come take care of it this evening.”

“Yes.” Li Shu tactfully left.

As nightfall drew nearer, the Starplucking Wine Pavilion’s business began to heat up.

The “miners” that had worked for an entire day all came to the Halcyon Gorge’s only place of leisure, pulling out the few bits of silver that they had in their pockets to buy wine. If there was no space in the wine pavilion, they would sit outside. Su Chen had set up a hut outside the pavilion, which was more than enough to seat over a hundred people. Because of this, the number of laborers that he had hired had also increased.

As the fragrance of alcohol began to spread, people also began to talk more. The air became filled with foul language. Occasionally, a few young women would also walk by. There would always be lechers who would reach out their perverted hands, inciting surprised cries and crazy laughter.

However, today was somewhat different.

The person behind the bar serving wine for people was not a store assistant, but the boss Demon Face himself.

Because he wore a mask, people could not see his face. All they could see was that sinister and eerie demon mask and a pair of hands that very clearly belonged to that of a youth.

“Why has Boss come to serve wine personally tonight?” a wine guest guffawed.

“I have nothing going on at the moment, so I would just be idling around otherwise,” Su Chen carelessly responded.

“If Boss really is just idling around, why don’t you come spend some time with me behind the house? There is a patch of wildlands there, and the scenery is pretty good.” A scantily-clad woman who was dressed very seductively drew closer, sending Su Chen a flirtatious glance.

“Hahaha, Little Hibiscus you slut, you’re trying to seduce Demon Face again?” one of the wine guests said laughingly.

The woman known as Little Hibiscus was one of the prostitutes here. She was always very interested in Su Chen. She would come to try and tantalize Su Chen every opportunity she got, but unfortunately Su Chen never displayed any interest.

Su Chen was always indifferent about fooling around with women, so whatever they said, he would only silently clean the wine cups. He dutifully performed the work that a laborer should do.

However, there were some people who evidently were unwilling to let him go that easily.

“Unfortunately, his ‘thing’ is not very useful. No matter how much you try to seduce him, he probably wouldn’t even be able to harden!” a gruff voice sounded from outside.

This sentence had exceeded the limits of a mere joke.

‘He’s here!’ everyone began to yell in their hearts.

The person that walked in accompanying this extremely loud voice was a tall, well-built man.
