Chapter 544: Chapter 517: Conflict and Retaliation

...

「Black Dragon Base, downstairs from the dorms」

”Junior Brother, we’re off!”

Lin Qi waved goodbye to his Senior Brother Liang Tai, Wang Zixuan, Xiao Yu, and the others.

Everyone went their separate ways.

He returned to his own apartment—206.

”BEEP!”

After passing the fingerprint verification, the main door opened. Little Chan materialized her body and started preparing dinner.

”BUZZZ!”

Lin Qi sat down on the sofa and logged into the House of War to check his Merit Points.

But soon, someone sent him a message on WeChat. He opened it and saw it was from Gu Cheng.

’Looks like he wants an explanation for what happened today.’

[Gu Cheng: Lin Qi, I already know what happened this morning.]

[You’ve gone too far!]

[I know my brother was in the wrong, but you can’t just attack him in front of everyone. We could have negotiated this in private.]

[How about this: we’ll meet at the Ten Thousand Beasts Restaurant. You bow your head and apologize to my brother, and we’ll let this matter go.]

...

After reading the message, Lin Qi let out a cold laugh.

’Make me apologize? Ridiculous.’

He immediately started typing a reply, and then directly blocked Gu Cheng.

Then he got ready to eat dinner.

...

「At that moment, in another apartment.」

Gu Cheng said to Gu Ming in a relaxed tone, ”Don’t worry. We’ll go to the base’s restaurant in a bit. I’ll make him apologize to you in person.”

Gu Ming’s eyes lit up. ”Really?”

Then his expression changed. ”Just an apology and it’s over? That’s letting him off too easy.”

Gu Cheng was speechless. ”What else do you want?”

”No matter what, Lin Qi is an SSS-level genius and the King of Mountains and Rivers’ grand-disciple.”

”You want to beat him up?”

”BEEP!”

Just then, Gu Cheng’s phone vibrated. He picked it up and took a look.

[Lin Qi: What kind of daydream are you having? You want me to apologize to a clown like Gu Ming!]

[I haven’t even made Gu Ming come and apologize to me yet. Ridiculous!]

...

Gu Cheng’s expression instantly darkened. He tried to reply to the message but found he had been blocked.

”Very good!”

When Gu Ming saw it, he seethed with anger.

”Brother, this guy is pushing it too far!”

A vicious smile spread across Gu Cheng’s face.

”It seems we need to teach him a lesson!”

...

「Black Dragon Base, Ten Thousand Beasts Restaurant」

This was the largest restaurant in Black Dragon Base, offering a complete range of cuisines from every province.

Hot pot, barbecue, grilled meat, iron pot stew...

In a spacious, luxurious private room, Lin Qi sat at a table. Across from him was Pei Yiqing, who had delicate features.

And with her was a sturdily built young man with sharp, three-dimensional features and a square-shaped face.

His entire aura was as heavy and solid as a mountain, quite similar to the King of Mountains and Rivers.

Pei Yiqing smiled and made the introduction:

”Junior Brother Lin Qi, this is my older brother—Pei Hongfeng!”

Lin Qi could feel the man’s aura—it was the dense aura of an Eighth Realm Powerhouse.

Pei Hongfeng stood up, extended a large hand, and smiled.

”Junior Brother Lin Qi, thank you so much for saving Yiqing today.”

The two shook hands briefly and sat down.

Pei Hongfeng smiled and said,

”I’ve heard Little Jiu talk about you for a long time now. I’ve been wanting to meet you.”

”So I had Yiqing get your phone number from Little Jiu!”

”I invited you to dinner today to properly thank you.”

Lin Qi shook his head. ”Brother Pei, you’re too kind.”

As they spoke, an automated robot opened the door and brought in plates of food.

”Please enjoy your meal, all three of you!”

After speaking, the robot left.

Pei Yiqing spoke up, ”Junior Brother Lin Qi, I heard you have a small conflict with Gu Ming of the Gu Family.”

”Do you need any help resolving it?”

”Our Pei Family has some influence in the Xia Country.”

”Plus, my brother is here. He’s been at Black Dragon Base for eight years, has good relationships with all the major parties, and he’s even ranked 15th on the Eighth Realm Rankings.”

A sense of confidence radiated from her as she said this.

Pei Hongfeng also laughed and said, ”I’m not that amazing!”

”But helping out with a small matter is no problem at all.”

Lin Qi was inwardly surprised. The Pei Family was indeed a powerful clan in the Xia Country.

They were wealthy, their family’s martial arts strength was considerable, and they even had Ninth Realm Martial Artists.

Pei Jiu’s uncle was a Ninth Realm Martial Artist.

And Pei Hongfeng’s own strength was nothing to scoff at.

One had to understand that the various rankings in the House of War included almost all the geniuses from every realm.

This was especially true for the three major rankings: the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Realms.

Although the rankings didn’t represent absolute strength, no one who ranked near the top was weak.

The fact that Pei Hongfeng could rank 15th was a testament to his power.

He was a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Eighth Realm, only one step away from the Ninth Realm.

Within the entire Black Dragon Base, he was among the absolute top-tier.

Faced with Pei Hongfeng’s kind offer, Lin Qi smiled.

”There’s no need to trouble Brother Pei. Gu Cheng can’t do anything to me.”

Pei Hongfeng nodded. ”I forgot your master is Mu Hong, and the King of Mountains and Rivers is your Master!”

”In Black Dragon Base, it’s true that no one can really do anything to you.”

”But if you run into any trouble in the future, feel free to contact us anytime.”

Lin Qi nodded. ”If that day really comes, I won’t hesitate.”

Pei Hongfeng nodded and said heartily, ”Let’s eat!”

”The owner of this Ten Thousand Beasts Restaurant is an old veteran, and the chefs are all retired from the base. Their cooking is top-notch.”

...

An hour later, having eaten his fill, Lin Qi returned to his room.

He went straight into the Martial Arts Room, changed into his Martial Arts Uniform, sat cross-legged, and began his cultivation.

He was completely stuffed!

When he got back in the evening, he had cooked 200 kilograms of Eighth-Level Calamity Beast flesh and blood.

He was just about to eat a lot of it when he received a message from Pei Jiu and added Pei Yiqing on WeChat.

He was invited to eat at the Ten Thousand Beasts Restaurant. It turned out they were serving Seventh-Level Calamity Beast flesh and blood. Not wanting to waste it, he ate over a hundred kilograms.
