My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 51: Shameless!

A roar.

The spacious reception room fell silent.

Chen Wuji appeared at the right moment, catching everyone's attention.

The same goes for Chen Wuji.

He also saw everyone in the room.

Apart from Li Changyu, whose face looked unpleasant, and Li Changwu, who had an angry expression on his face, there was a middle-aged man with a bald head and a sturdy build, as well as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth with a smirk on his face.

These four people were sitting.

Behind the middle-aged man and the youth stood four attendants, acting as guards.

As Chen Wuji revealed himself, Li Changyu was momentarily stunned, then stood up and greeted, "Mr. Qin."

"Master Li, sorry to bother you again."

Chen Wuji nodded and glanced at the middle-aged man and the youth, calmly asking, "Are these your guests?"

"They are not guests, they are robbers!"

Li Changwu suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "He Qiliang! Stop daydreaming. Even if we fully exploit the remaining saltpeter mines on Lianhua Mountain, we won't have fifty thousand taels of silver! If you want to sell your shares, fine, go find someone else. My Li family can't afford it!"

"But Brother Li didn't say that just now."

He Qiliang raised an eyebrow, ignoring Li Changwu and looking at Chen Wuji. His gaze fell on Li Changyu, and he chuckled, "If I remember correctly, Brother Changyu is the head of the family, right? Brother Changyu just said that he would not refuse..."

"That's on the condition that my Li family can afford it. I will not refuse under that premise."

Li Changyu suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "He Xiong wants fifty thousand taels of silver. I'm sorry, my Li family cannot come up with that much money to buy the shares of the saltpeter mine!"

Li Changyu emphasized the word "shares."

"Does the Li family not have any money?"

The youth sneered, "Didn't your Li family wipe out the Wang family and swallow their wealth accumulated over hundreds of years? Now you're telling me that your Li family has no money?"

"What does it have to do with you whether the Li family has money or not?"

Chen Wuji's gaze shifted, and he sneered as well, disdainfully saying, "I just heard that because someone in your family joined the Jinyang Sect, you want to extort fifty thousand taels of silver from the Li family, right?"

"Nonsense! Who are you?"

He Qiliang stood up angrily, glared at Chen Wuji, and shouted, "What extortion? We are selling our shares of the Lianhua Mountain mine! The saltpeter on Lianhua Mountain can still be mined for two more years, and the saltpeter mined in one year can be sold for thirty thousand..."

"Nonsense!"

Li Changwu quickly interrupted and retorted, "Where would thirty thousand taels of silver come from in a year from the saltpeter on Lianhua Mountain? After deducting various costs, if we calculate everything, ten thousand taels would be considered good! And that's the overall profit!"

"Your He family only owns half of the shares. How much is half of ten thousand taels? He Qiliang, don't tell me you don't know?"

"Half of ten thousand taels is five thousand taels."

Chen Wuji chuckled lightly, "You want to exchange five thousand taels for fifty thousand taels. Isn't that extortion?"

"You..."

"A disciple of the Jinyang Sect's outer sect wants to extort fifty thousand taels of silver? You guys are really something." Chen Wuji didn't give the other party a chance to speak and interrupted again.

"Who told you that my nephew, Deng Long, is an outer sect disciple?" He Qiliang retorted.

"Not an outer sect disciple? Then he must be an inner sect disciple, right?" Chen Wuji showed no fear and continued, "Don't tell me that your nephew, Deng Long, is a true disciple?"

"True disciple? He's just an outer sect disciple!"

Li Changwu completely let go and vented, saying, "Jinyang Sect is huge, but as an outer disciple without even a master, how noble can my status be?"

"50,000 taels of silver, I can't believe you, He Qiliang, said that."

"If He Denglong truly has astonishing talent, why would he need the support of his family? Jinyang Sect has already invested a lot in cultivating him."

"In my opinion, if He Denglong can reach the mid-stage of the True Qi Realm in his lifetime, it would be a blessing from the heavens!"

"Li Changwu!" He Qiliang's face darkened, his eyes filled with anger. "Watch your words, be careful of the trouble that comes from your mouth!"

"You..."

"That's enough!"

Li Changyu's face turned serious, and he shouted, "Li Changwu, shut up!"

After scolding Li Changwu, Li Changyu quickly turned around, facing He Qiliang, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother He, my second brother didn't mean it, he just..."

"He just what? He meant it!" The young man who was originally sitting suddenly stood up, his face full of arrogance. He glanced at Li Changyu and Li Changwu, and coldly said, "You look down on my older brother, don't you? Saying that my older brother can only reach the early stage of the True Qi Realm in his lifetime? Let me tell you, even if my older brother stays in the early stage of the True Qi Realm his whole life, it's enough to crush your Li family!"

"We are giving you face by talking nicely to you. Just hand over the 50,000 taels of silver, or exchange it for nitrate shares."

"You are shameless, taking advantage of our goodwill!"

"Fine, since we've opened up, there's no need to pretend anymore."

"50,000 taels of silver, not a penny less! And don't even think about getting any more nitrate from Lianhua Mountain!"

The young man's face was full of arrogance as he sneered, "If you don't agree, you can find a True Qi Realm Martial Master to speak for you and support you!"

"You... You..." Li Changwu was so angry that he trembled all over, but couldn't complete his sentence.

Li Changyu's face turned pale, his fists clenched, and he gritted his teeth in frustration, not responding.

Yes.

They couldn't find a high-level True Qi Realm expert to support them.

The He family had one, even if his potential was limited, it was enough to suppress their Li family, forcing them to submit...

"Who said the Li family doesn't have a True Qi Realm expert?"

Chen Wuji stepped forward two steps and said loudly, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Qin Shubao from the Li family, currently a guest of the Li family, and I am indeed in the True Qi Realm."

As he spoke, he took a step and instantly appeared beside one of the guards behind the young man.

Clang!

Sword light bloomed.

Chen Wuji waved his hand and drew out the sword from the guard's waist, holding it in his hand, ignoring the sharp blade.

"Crack, crack, crack" - with a series of crisp sounds, he used his bare hands to crush the entire sword into a lump of iron.

Thud~

He let go, and the iron lump fell to the ground, making a dull sound as it rolled a few times, attracting everyone's attention.

In the spacious conference hall, there was a moment of silence.

Clap, clap~

Chen Wuji clapped his hands and looked at the stunned young man and He Qiliang, chuckling lightly.

"How is this True Qi Realm from me?"

Thanks to "Book Friend 20200222235035675" for the 100 coins reward.
