Chapter 1543 Brother Kun
"This Daoist priest..."
The disheveled Daoist priest suddenly stood up, coughing twice.
"Holy crap, no way, no way, such a beautiful woman actually likes this scruffy Daoist priest? What a joke?"
"You scruffy Daoist priest, you're not worthy!"
"Heaven is unfair!"
The surrounding onlookers, upon seeing the disheveled Daoist priest suddenly stand up, were filled with righteous indignation, their gazes as if they wanted to devour the Daoist priest alive.
What kind of looks are these? This Daoist priest was a dashing figure in his youth!
The disheveled Daoist priest was extremely angry.
Just as he was about to speak, Hua Mei walked up to Chen Xuan and smiled charmingly, "Hello, Mr. Chen Xuan, we meet again. What a coincidence."
"Ah?"
The disheveled Daoist priest was instantly stunned. Did this beautiful woman have been staring at Chen Xuan the whole time?
Hearing Hua Mei's words, Chen Xuan's mouth twitched. He thought to himself, you've been following me all morning, is this a coincidence?
However, outwardly, Chen Xuan remained calm and composed, naturally not exposing anything.
"You are..."
"Did you forget? We met at the Zhang family wedding."
"Oh... I remember now. You were the bridesmaid, what was your name again?"
Chen Xuan feigned realization.
His expression made even Hua Mei doubt herself. Was her intuition sharp enough?
"Hua Mei!"
"Hello, Miss Hua Mei!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"You're also eating breakfast here."
"Yes, I come back occasionally."
After a few simple pleasantries, Hua Mei nodded, turned, and returned to her seat.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to know such a beauty! Why didn't you say so earlier?" The disheveled Daoist priest felt embarrassed and said angrily.
Chen Xuan shrugged, "I don't know her either."
"Then you..."
"Didn't you hear? She recognized me, and then I recognized her."
"Uh... it sounds like you're very charming, but in reality, you're just a rotten core inside a golden shell, full of bad intentions," the disheveled Daoist priest said.
"Disheveled Daoist priest, where have you been making a fortune lately? Can you introduce a path to your brother?"
Chen Xuan got straight to the point.
He knew that the disheveled Daoist priest had a treasure, and it must be something he had acquired in the past few days. Naturally, there was a method involved.
He had already tricked the disheveled Daoist priest out of a Qiankun bag earlier, and he felt embarrassed to push his luck further. He could only ask the disheveled Daoist priest to lead him.
"Why should I introduce it to you? Who do you think you are?"
Chen Xuan said with a chuckle, "Disheveled Daoist priest, don't refuse so early. I can be your lucky star. Besides, it's inconvenient for you to act alone sometimes. If you bring me along, I might be able to help."
The disheveled Daoist priest was initially unhappy, but then his mind turned, and he muttered to himself: What if this kid really has a way?
Seeing the disheveled Daoist priest's strange expression, Chen Xuan added, "Disheveled Daoist priest, you should consider it. After all, I am at the Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivation, proficient in Feng Shui and metaphysics. Perhaps I can be of assistance."
The disheveled Daoist priest hesitated for a moment. "Alright, seeing how sincere you are, this Daoist priest will take you to make a fortune. But let's be clear, this time the profit split is three-seven, me seven, you three."
"Deal!"
Chen Xuan eagerly asked, "When are we going?"
"I'll notify you later."
"By the way, can you give me a hint first? What exactly is it?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.
The disheveled Daoist priest lowered his voice and said, "I discovered an ancient tomb of a large family in Shihu Mountain. According to my judgment, there will be a lot of spirit stones and treasures inside. There's a mechanism inside that's not easy to break. As long as you break the mechanism with me, we'll be rich."
"So that's how it is." Chen Xuan nodded, and then left his phone number with the disheveled Daoist priest for future contact.
After eating and drinking his fill, the disheveled Daoist priest also left.
Chen Xuan pondered about finding spirit stones together in the future. Although he thought it was unreliable, it was still feasible, and he had found a quick way to find spirit stones.
Just as Chen Xuan was deep in thought, a dozen hooligans suddenly arrived near the stall.
As these dozen hooligans appeared, the atmosphere around them instantly froze. Everyone had strange expressions and whispered.
"Isn't that Brother Kun?"
"Brother Kun is the local boss here. He's been collecting protection fees. It looks like he's here with ill intentions."
"Finish eating and leave quickly, don't linger here."
Many people hadn't even started their breakfast, but they quickly ran away. It was evident that these hooligans had a considerable deterrent effect.
"Brother Kun, what wind brought you here? Please sit, please sit!"
The owner of the breakfast stall scurried over, his face filled with a fawning smile.
Everyone also scrambled to sit at a table.
"You tell me why I'm here?"
The speaker was Brother Kun, wearing a gold chain around his neck. He looked to be in his thirties, with a deep scar on his face. When he smiled, he appeared extremely terrifying.
The owner racked his brain but couldn't figure it out. "Brother Kun, I've paid this month's protection fee. I haven't offended you, have I? When your subordinates came to eat here, I never charged them. I really don't know."
Brother Kun gave a look to one of his subordinates, who coldly shouted, "You paid the protection fee, but starting today, the protection fee will increase by two thousand!"
"Two thousand?"
The owner was dumbfounded. "Brother Kun, our small shop only earns a few dollars a month. If you increase it by two thousand at once, how can I give it to you!"
The protection fee was already three thousand yuan a month, which was a burden. Now, adding another two thousand was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
The subordinate said menacingly, "Stop talking nonsense. If you're told to pay, pay. Otherwise, your stall won't be able to operate here. Hurry up and give us this month's two thousand yuan!"
"No... I really don't have it..."
"Search him!"
The subordinate shouted.
Two companions immediately rushed to the stall to grab the money box.
"I really don't have it!" The owner grabbed the legs of the two companions.
"Get lost, you bastard!"
Kicking the owner away, the two companions, despite the owner's pleas, grabbed the money box.
When the box was opened, it was all scattered money, totaling only a few hundred yuan.
"Brother Kun, there are only a few hundred yuan!"
"A few hundred yuan is a few hundred yuan. I'll take it this month, and you can make up the rest later!" Brother Kun stood up.
"Brother Kun, no! I need this money to buy medicine for my wife!"
The owner dropped to his knees with a thud and begged loudly.
But Brother Kun seemed to have a heart of stone. He kicked the owner away, "Get lost! What does it matter to me whether you buy medicine or not!"
The others also sneered, indifferent.
Chen Xuan saw this scene, frowned, and quickly stepped forward to stop the owner, who was about to go and demand money.
These people are too detestable, even snatching the money for buying medicine!
Brother Kun and his group were preparing to leave when one of his subordinates pointed at Hua Mei and said, "Brother Kun, look, there's a beauty there, like she walked out of a painting!"
Brother Kun frowned and looked over. He didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw Hua Mei, he was instantly stunned.
My God, this woman is too beautiful, truly a fairy descended to earth!
