Chapter 419: Chapter 421: ’Old Friend’ [Third Shift]

Two men dressed in sportswear seemed to be practicing martial arts in the garden.

Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang had in fact noticed these two people shortly after they entered, but Qin Tian acted as if he hadn’t seen them and continued straight ahead, planning to cross the garden to the main building of the courtyard.

The two men saw that Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang were strangers and immediately became vigilant, taking two steps towards Qin Tian to block their way.

”Who are you two, and how did you get into the Shi Family’s courtyard?”

A man in his twenties wearing Nike sportswear asked Qin Tian while his gaze drifted towards the distant courtyard gate.

Wasn’t there someone guarding the gate? How did they get in?

Both were puzzled.

Qin Tian wasn’t flustered and shook the gift in his hand, saying, ”We came to visit the elder Mr. Shi; we’ve already announced our arrival.”

”Huh?” The two men were taken aback by Qin Tian’s words. Indeed, they had seen Brother Du go to the main building to report, but hadn’t their master said he wouldn’t see any visitors these past few days? How did they let these two men in?

”Gentlemen,” seeing the men’s skepticism, Qin Tian said calmly, ”Who in Taiping City doesn’t know of the Shi Family’s reputation? Do you think the two of us could force our way in? And if we did, would we dare to strut around the courtyard like this?”

At Qin Tian’s question, the two men were stunned.

Watching Qin Tian bamboozle the two young men, Xiao Zhuang joined in with zest, laughing, ”My brother speaks wisely. If we had forced our way in, why would we bring gifts? That would be logically inconsistent. Gentlemen, we brothers have come all the way from Zhonghai City well-known to the elder Mr. Shi.”

When the two young men heard Xiao Zhuang address them as ”gentlemen,” they felt quite annoyed inside, giving Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang a glare and thinking, Gentlemen, are you older than us?

However, annoyed as they were, they felt that what Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang said made sense; in Taiping City, it was unlikely anyone would dare trespass into the Shi Family’s courtyard.

Besides, if they had really barged in, Brother Du would’ve rushed to report it, and since there was no sign of Brother Du, he was surely out enjoying himself somewhere, eating.

”Big brother, let’s just let it go. If they are our master’s guests, we can’t afford to offend them,” another young man whispered.

The brother in the Nike outfit replied, ”Fine, go ahead. My master is entertaining guests in the living room; you can join them there.”

With that, the two men continued with their martial arts practice, while Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang walked towards the living room the men had indicated, grinning like thieves.

”Indeed a martial arts family, taking in so many disciples. Big brother, it looks like we’ve come across a family of martial artists,” Xiao Zhuang whispered after Qin Tian as they walked.

Along the way, Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang came across several people practicing martial arts who eyed them strangely, but Qin Tian managed to persuade them all with the same reasoning.

Finally, they arrived outside the main building’s living room, where Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang stopped in their tracks. From inside the living room, laughter and chatter could faintly be heard.

Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang heard the sneering ”hahaha” of Zeng Sikui from inside the living room. They exchanged a glance, smiled at each other, and walked straight in.

”Third senior brother, oh, to have such martial arts prowess and to live in seclusion here, what a waste.”

”Zhongyi, as they say, to each their own. I do not seek fame or fortune; I just want to live freely and leisurely. See for yourself—you’ve been struggling in Zhonghai City for so long, and ended up running away, didn’t you? There’s no need for too much fame and profit in the secular world; you’re too materialistic... Look at me, living in seclusion here, taking on some disciples, practicing martial arts, enjoying my life... Enough to eat, enough to drink, and no one dares to mess with the Shi family. I’m not living worse than you, am I?”

”What third senior brother said is true. Ah, my Zhongyi Hall really took a hit this time. I didn’t expect the police to be so closely on my tail; my third brother was shot dead, and the second brother nearly lost his life.”

”Exactly, exactly, Third Senior Brother, it took nine bulls and two tigers’ worth of effort for Big Brother and me to escape from Zhonghai City. Hehe, if it weren’t for Third Senior Brother taking us in, sigh, I, Zeng Sikui, wouldn’t even know where to go. Third Senior Brother, rest assured, we’ll make our way back to Zhonghai City someday, just waiting for this storm to pass. After it passes, we can plan in detail.”

”Sikui, Zhongyi, don’t worry. Now that you’re here, just take the time to recuperate at ease, whether it’s a year and a half, or three to five years, it’s no problem. This place of mine, let’s not mention ordinary people, even the police wouldn’t dare to barge in recklessly. Not everyone can withstand the fury of Shi Huaihai.”

Squeak!

While the four people in the reception hall were relaxedly chatting over tea, the door to the reception hall suddenly swung open.

Into the Shi Family’s grand courtyard, into the Shi Family reception hall that no one dared to intrude, someone burst in!

After the door opened, Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang stood at the doorway, carrying gifts, and walked steadily into the quaint reception hall.

Within the roughly fifty square meter reception hall, four middle-aged men lay on four rattan chairs, each looking leisurely.

Sitting directly in front across from them were two people, one on each side. On the right sat a man in his fifties, his hair jet-black but his roughly four-inch long beard streaked with white, the whole man brimming with vitality, a Heavenly Court fullness that showed he was a Martial Arts practitioner.

On the left of the white-bearded old man sat the boss of Zhongyi Hall, Chen Zhongyi, dressed in a white T-shirt.

On the sides, the grim-faced Zeng Sikui sat on one, while a middle-aged, broad-shouldered man sat on the other, looking as fierce as Zhang Fei.

When Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang appeared at the doorway, the faces of Chen Zhongyi and Zeng Sikui in the reception hall changed drastically!

The two exchanged glances, both instinctively straightening up and taking deep breaths.

As Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang carrying gifts walked into the reception hall, the startled Chen Zhongyi and Zeng Sikui let down their guards again, both glancing at the furious Shi Huaihai.

No idea how Qin Tian managed to find this place!

But so what, this is Shi Huaihai’s Shi family compound. Qin Tian dares to barge in; he’s looking for death!

Zeng Sikui and Chen Zhongyi both knew Shi Huaihai’s temper, so they kept their composure, waiting for Shi Huaihai to take the lead.

”Who are you?!”

Looking at Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang standing in the hall, the burly man sitting next to Shi Huaihai stood up and asked angrily.

”Passersby,” Qin Tian said.

”Passersby for what reason have come here!” the burly man asked.

”To meet friends here.”

”You have friends here? Don’t spout nonsense!”

”Hahaha, indeed, I have two old friends here.”

Qin Tian laughed heartily, turned his head, and coldly gazed at Chen Zhongyi and Zeng Sikui: ”Chen Zhongyi, Zeng Sikui, long time no see. Fleeing disgracefully from Zhonghai City, it seems you’re living quite comfortably!”
