Divine War Pill Emperor

”And me.”

That’s right—Mr. Jiao had also stepped forward.

Mr. Jiao radiated the Cultivation of a Martial King Sixth Heaven.

In that instant, Lu Xing, who had been looking on with some disdain, felt his pupils contract violently.

He was a Martial King Fifth Heaven expert. He never imagined that a mere Chenxi Pavilion would actually have two Martial King Experts, one of whom was even at the Martial King Sixth Heaven.

This forced him to swallow the words he was about to say.

A Chenxi Pavilion like this, one could say, might not be among the very top powers in Xingyuan City, but it was certainly not to be underestimated.

They had discussed it on the way here: a Chenxi Pavilion of this caliber must not be provoked, only won over.

Fortunately, Lu Xing was only trying to test Chenxi Pavilion’s strength.

Now that he understood their power, Feng Hu chose the right moment to step out.

Feng Hu was an exceptionally clever man who knew when to advance and when to retreat.

When faced with such experts, the City Lord’s Mansion was naturally more inclined to win them over to their side.

An idea sparked in his mind.

He quickly said to Lu Xing, ”Guard Captain Lu, do not be rude.”

’Since the other party has such experts, it’s not a good idea to make a move.’

Feng Hu immediately cupped his hands in a salute toward Mr. Jiao and Xiao Jun. ”Everyone, I apologize. We’ve disturbed you again.”

Mr. Jiao snorted.

They had known all along that the people from the City Lord’s Mansion would return.

They were prepared to completely fall out with the City Lord’s Mansion, but unexpectedly, their attitude was rather friendly this time.

”What does your City Lord’s Mansion mean by this? Are you trying to make things difficult for Chenxi Pavilion?”

Mr. Jiao’s tone was hostile.

Feng Hu hurriedly waved his hands. ”Everyone, it’s a misunderstanding. A huge misunderstanding.”

”I am Feng Hu, the City Lord’s son. I would like to apologize to all of you.”

As the saying goes, ”a wise man submits to circumstances,” and Feng Hu certainly understood this principle.

He immediately adopted a more humble posture.

The title of ”City Lord’s son” depended on who you were facing. Against an expert like a Martial King Sixth Heaven, the City Lord’s Mansion’s reputation wasn’t necessarily enough.

He politely cupped his hands toward Mr. Jiao and Xiao Jun.

Seeing this, Mr. Jiao and Xiao Jun were somewhat surprised.

But it wasn’t entirely unexpected. After all, they had displayed their strength, so the other party had surely recognized how powerful they were.

Besides, they could see that the old man accompanying Feng Hu had a Cultivation at the Martial King Peak of Nine Heavens.

Of course, an expert of that level was nothing special in Chenxi Pavilion, so the two of them weren’t worried in the slightest.

”Feng Hu, is it? I wonder what the purpose of your City Lord’s Mansion’s visit is this time?”

Mr. Jiao didn’t hold back, asking bluntly.

Feng Hu wore a smile, appearing very amicable.

He then asked, ”If I may, who is your boss here? Who can make the decisions?”

Mr. Jiao and Xiao Jun couldn’t make the final decision, after all, so they looked toward Mr. Qiu Shui and the others.

Finally, Mr. Qiu Shui spoke up. ”I am. If you have business, speak with me.”

At that moment, the expressions of Feng Hu, Lu Xing, and Zhu Sanbao all changed once again.

Because even with the Cultivation of Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao, they still weren’t the ones in charge here.

’Thinking about it that way, this Chenxi Pavilion really has some deep foundations.’

Zhu Sanbao hurriedly tried to assess Mr. Qiu Shui’s Cultivation, but even with his strength, he couldn’t see through it. He secretly sent a transmission to Feng Hu: ”Young Master, this man is unfathomable. He’s much stronger than those two Martial King Experts.”

”This Chenxi Pavilion is not simple. Be careful.”

Feng Hu understood the implication and knew what to do.

He hurriedly bowed to Mr. Qiu Shui. ”May I ask for your name, sir?”

Mr. Qiu Shui said nonchalantly, ”Mr. Qiu Shui. If you have something to say, say it directly.”

He hadn’t wanted to bother with the people from the City Lord’s Mansion, but they still had some power in Xingyuan City and could be useful for getting things done.

As long as the other party didn’t provoke Chenxi Pavilion, Mr. Qiu Shui didn’t want to be too unreasonable either.

However, a man like him naturally spoke with the tone of a superior.

It sounded like a command.

Feng Hu was stunned. He hadn’t expected the people of Chenxi Pavilion to be so forceful and completely unafraid of them.

It made him even more hesitant to provoke Chenxi Pavilion.

He said, ”Mr. Qiu Shui, hello.”

”Our City Lord’s Mansion is willing to make a deal with you.”

As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Qiu Shui.

Mr. Qiu Shui frowned slightly.

”What kind of deal? Let’s hear it.”

Nodding, Feng Hu said, ”Since Chenxi Pavilion is doing business in Xingyuan City, you should naturally be aware that here, our City Lord’s Mansion calls the shots.”

”How about this: as long as you choose to join our City Lord’s Mansion, we can guarantee you a smooth path, allowing you to grow Chenxi Pavilion bigger and bigger.”

”Furthermore, with the protection of our City Lord’s Mansion, your business in Xingyuan City will be absolutely smooth sailing.”

”What do you think of this proposal?”

He still used an extremely calm tone to try and win over Chenxi Pavilion.

After all, no matter how he looked at it, this Chenxi Pavilion was a bit strange.

Everyone in the shop was staring at him like a predator, putting Feng Hu under a lot of pressure.

Mr. Qiu Shui listened, his expression unchanging.

”If that’s the case, then our Chenxi Pavilion has no need for your City Lord’s Mansion’s protection.”

”Alright, if there’s nothing else, we’ll see you out.”

”Please!”

Without any need to ask Jiang Chen, Mr. Qiu Shui directly sent the people from the City Lord’s Mansion away.

After all, in their eyes, the City Lord’s Mansion was nothing.

And no one dared to make a move against Chenxi Pavilion.

Feng Hu, on the other hand, was taken aback.

’Rejected. Just like that, I was rejected.’

It left him somewhat bewildered.

He had assumed the people of Chenxi Pavilion would have the foresight to join their City Lord’s Mansion.

But he was wrong.

They didn’t show the slightest hint of interest.

”Won’t you reconsider?”

Feng Hu was still unwilling to give up.

He didn’t want to provoke Chenxi Pavilion now, but they were being far too uncooperative.

He felt a flicker of annoyance in his heart.

Mr. Qiu Shui suddenly said, ”If your City Lord’s Mansion chooses to serve our Chenxi Pavilion, then we might consider it.”

”What do you think, Feng Hu?”

Feng Hu and the others’ faces turned ashen.

They had come to recruit Chenxi Pavilion, but now Chenxi Pavilion was telling the City Lord’s Mansion to serve them. It was a complete insult to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Before he could respond, Mr. Qiu Shui repeated coolly,

”See them out!”

At that moment, Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao stepped forward and made a ”please leave” gesture.

Feng Hu’s expression flickered.

But he was a smart man. He knew you didn’t provoke someone who had a Martial King Sixth Heaven expert as a subordinate.

A smile immediately appeared on his face. ”Everyone, no matter what, we are all friends.”

”If there’s anything you need the City Lord’s Mansion’s help with, feel free to come to us at any time.”

”Everyone, we’ll be leaving now.”

After saying this, he didn’t linger at all, tactfully leading Zhu Sanbao and the others away.

It could be said that Feng Hu had made the correct choice.

The people outside saw Feng Hu and his group leave Chenxi Pavilion, while the pavilion itself remained perfectly fine. They were once again stunned.

After Feng Hu and his group left Celestial Water Street, his expression finally darkened.

Zhu Sanbao said in a low voice, ”Young Master, our City Lord’s Mansion cannot deal with this Chenxi Pavilion. I feel that everyone in that shop is incredibly strange; I can’t see through any of them.”

Hearing Zhu Sanbao’s words, Feng Hu gave a bitter smile.

If even Zhu Sanbao said so, then there was no doubt: Chenxi Pavilion was unfathomably deep.

Feng Hu suddenly sighed. ”It seems we truly cannot afford to provoke Chenxi Pavilion.”

”Keep an eye on this Chenxi Pavilion, but under no circumstances should we get into a conflict with them.”
