Lin Jianye said reasonably, "You give us one million spirit stone coins, and we can solve all your problems. You can rest assured and not worry about anything. But if you try to treat their injuries, what if their injuries can't be healed? What if they are healed, and they still ask you for spirit stone coins? What will you do then? This could be a bottomless pit. We are doing this for your own good."
Chu Xiangling's eyes rolled, "Didn't you say they are your friends? From the way you speak, you don't seem to care much about your friends' lives."
Lin Jianye was a little angry, "Why can't you listen to good advice, girl? I'm completely thinking of you. No matter how we handle it, as long as you give us one million spirit stone coins, you don't have to worry about anything else. We guarantee no one will bother you again. Why do you care so much?"
Chu Xiangling raised her eyebrows, "But what if I don't feel at ease doing that?"
The tall, thin man finally lost his patience and roared, "Why so much nonsense? Just say yes or no to the money. If not, don't think you can walk away unharmed."
Chu Xiangling sneered, "Who among us hasn't crawled out of a pile of dead people? Do you think I'm afraid of your threats?"
At this moment, Mo Qi quietly weaved through the crowd and gave three healing pills to the three injured people.
"It seems she's refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If we don't show her some color, she'll think we're just playing with her," Lin Jianye said to the tall, thin man.
Just as the tall, thin man was about to erupt, Mo Qi returned to Chu Xiangling's side and said to her, "They are willing to help you solve your troubles. Isn't that great? I think you should just give them the money."
Chu Xiangling looked at Mo Qi in anger. She suspected Mo Qi was in league with them, first deliberately giving her a thunderclap pill, causing her to injure people, and then coming to extort her. The plan was too perfect!
"You... do I have such a deep hatred for you that you want to harm me like this? It was a fight to the death during the competition, but you still hold a grudge after leaving the arena. You're truly petty."
Mo Qi shook his head, "You don't have money, so I'll pay for you. Besides, I gave you the thunderclap pill, and I'm also responsible for the injuries."
With that, Mo Qi took out his storage bag and casually poured some out onto the ground.
The ground was immediately covered in a dazzling golden light.
"Take it," Mo Qi said generously to Lin Jianye.
Chu Xiangling was stunned. Was this too much money?
"I'm telling you, this doesn't count as helping me, and I won't be grateful," Chu Xiangling said coldly.
After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Jianye winked at another short man.
The short man took out a storage bag and stepped forward to collect the spirit stone coins on the ground.
After collecting the spirit stone coins, Lin Jianye waved his hand, "Let's go!"
Led by Lin Jianye, the group walked away.
Chu Xiangling glared at Mo Qi, "See, you're encouraging their arrogance." She then pointed at the three people still groaning on the ground, "Who will take care of their injuries?"
Mo Qi smiled slightly and pointed at Lin Jianye and the others, "Of course, they will."
With that, Mo Qi's figure flickered and he landed in front of Lin Jianye, blocking their path. "Everyone, did you forget something?"
The group was forced to stop. Lin Jianye looked bewildered, "Forget something?"
Mo Qi pointed at the three injured people, "You forgot them. You said earlier that you would help the young lady solve all her problems."
Lin Jianye reached out to pat Mo Qi's shoulder, but missed, "Are you stupid? When I said solve problems, I meant ensuring those three wouldn't bother the young lady."
"Oh, I see," Mo Qi nodded. "Then we should ask for the opinions of those three, shouldn't we? Don't rush off. If you leave, what if those three bother Miss Chu?"
Lin Jianye chuckled, "Look at those three now. Can they bother anyone?"
Lin Jianye looked at Mo Qi's infuriatingly innocent expression and really wanted to punch him.
But Mo Qi was always so polite and his words were always so reasonable that it was impossible to get angry. So, he patiently reasoned with him.
Mo Qi smiled and looked at the three people on the ground, "You can get up now."
The three immediately stood up, as if nothing had happened, showing no signs of injury.
The onlookers were stunned, as were the six men and Chu Xiangling.
It turned out that when Mo Qi gave them the pills earlier, he had specifically told them not to get up yet and to wait until Mo Qi told them to.
After getting up, each of them went to demand ten million spirit stone coins from Chu Xiangling.
Was there such a good thing?
Wasn't this picking up ten million spirit stone coins for free?
Unexpectedly, Mo Qi said again, "Ten million spirit stone coins is the payment for the pills you gave me."
The three felt their hearts sink, but they had no choice but to cooperate. Otherwise, if they had to pay for the exorbitant price of the pills themselves, they wouldn't be able to afford it even if they worked themselves to death!
Indeed, the three walked up to Chu Xiangling and each said righteously, "Young lady, how do you plan to compensate us?"
Chu Xiangling was a little flustered.
The previous six were being unreasonable.
But these three were the victims. Their demand for compensation was reasonable and justified.
"What do you want?" Chu Xiangling asked with a guilty conscience.
"You compensate each of us eleven million spirit stone coins," the three said.
Mo Qi's forehead was covered in black lines. They were all more ruthless than the last!
Chu Xiangling cried out in shock, "You... you're taking advantage of the situation!"
At this moment, Mo Qi glanced at Lin Jianye, "Trouble is here, hurry up."
The six men still hadn't reacted.
What was going on today?
The script wasn't supposed to be like this!
Was it a ghost today?
Damn it, we've always been in control. Why do we feel like we've been led around by the nose all day?
Who was orchestrating this farce?
Before Lin Jianye could speak, the tall, thin man had already walked towards the three men.
The three were brothers, named Chu Kuangren, Chu Fengren, and Chu Jianren respectively.
They were not easy to deal with on a normal day, and today it was like robbers meeting bandits.
The reason the tall, thin man walked over wasn't really to solve the problem, but simply because he felt the three were too arrogant, utterly lawless.
Eleven million spirit stone coins? Why didn't they just rob them?
Even the six of them didn't dare to ask for such a price, yet they dared to make such an exorbitant demand.
Was there no law? Had they no shame?
Seeing the tall, thin man step forward, Lin Jianye and the others could only follow.
Mo Qi walked leisurely at the back, prepared.
The tall, thin man was fierce and spoke little. He rushed forward, clenched his fist, and struck Chu Kuangren.
He would beat them into submission first, then reason with them!
The punch carried spiritual energy and emitted a dazzling red light, striking towards Chu Kuangren.
A fierce oppressive force and a tearing sensation assaulted him. Chu Kuangren panicked and could only raise his fist to meet the blow.
With a loud bang, Chu Kuangren's fist landed squarely on the tall, thin man's stomach, almost piercing it. The tall, thin man's fist, for some unknown reason, suddenly veered off course, not even touching Chu Kuangren's hair.
Chu Kuangren was stunned by his own might after landing a blow!
It was as if divine intervention!
The tall, thin man's body flew back a considerable distance, landing and spitting out a mouthful of blood, unable to get up for a long time.
Lin Jianye then lunged forward and punched Chu Jianren, but the result was the same. He was knocked to the ground by Chu Jianren.
Lin Jianye felt inexplicable. He felt his punch suddenly swerve and brush past the opponent's cheek.
What was going on?
Had the opponent used some sort of sorcery?
At this moment, Chu Fengren had also knocked the short man to the ground!
The remaining three men were greatly shocked, but they were not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, so they had no reason to be afraid.
Thus, the three men charged forward again, only to be knocked to the ground by the other three within a single exchange.
The Chu brothers were incredibly arrogant. They roared to the sky and then proceeded to beat down the six men on the ground one by one, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
The six men's eyes were dim. They felt they had completely lost today.
But they had lost inexplicably!
It left them completely bewildered.
If the three men had much higher cultivation than them, perhaps they could understand. But their cultivation was clearly comparable, so why could the three men instantly defeat them?
After venting their frustration, the three brothers walked up to Chu Xiangling and said menacingly, "Well, are you going to pay or not? If not, this will be the consequence."
Chu Xiangling raised her delicate eyebrows, "No!"
The three were enraged and were about to make a move.
At this moment, Mo Qi called out softly, "Stop!"
The three immediately stopped and looked at Mo Qi!
After all, it was because of Mo Qi's appearance that they were able to showcase themselves so thoroughly.
Mo Qi crouched down and looked at Lin Jianye, who was lying limply on the ground, "How is it? Didn't you say you could solve all of Miss Chu's problems? Now that she's being bullied, what are you going to do?"
Lin Jianye looked at the harmless-looking Mo Qi, his eyes filled with fear, "We... we can't do anything. We can't beat them, and we can't win an argument."
Mo Qi shook his head, "There's still a way."
"What other way is there?" Lin Jianye's eyes lit up.
"They want money, don't they? Just give them money. Isn't that very simple? Isn't this a perfect way to resolve things?"
Lin Jianye's face turned ashen, "We... we don't have that much money."
"How much?" Mo Qi's heart skipped a beat. He felt like he was making a loss-making business again today.
"I only have one million spirit stone coins," Lin Jianye said with a bitter expression.
Mo Qi's eyes showed a hint of killing intent, "You all pool together and see how much money you have."
The men had no choice. They took out the spirit stone coins from their storage bags, pooled them together, and with the one million spirit stone coins Mo Qi had given them earlier, the total came to thirteen million spirit stone coins.
"Alas, let it be. I'll take a slight loss," Mo Qi sighed and shook his head.
Mo Qi handed one million spirit stone coins to Chu Kuangren and told them to know when to stop.
