Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 379 I knew you wouldn't dare

Shuo Hun Pills are not common medicine.

A single pill can fetch five thousand purple cards at the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion.

The two bottles A Xiang gave him must contain at least ten pills!

This is the difference between a sect and an individual.

A sect does not belong to one person, so even with resources, they cannot be distributed arbitrarily.

However, this Hantian City belonged to A Xiang's family.

The resources here were entirely under the control of the City Lord and his wife.

From this, one could also see that Qin Han Chu's aunt truly treated him as family.

"Thank you." Qin Han Chu did not pretend. He needed the pills to help him improve his strength.

"Do you want to pledge yourself to me?" A Xiang teased.

Qin Han Chu stepped aside to let her in. "Alright, come in."

"Okay."

Qin Han Chu expected A Xiang to be shy, but to his surprise, A Xiang was about to walk in.

This startled Qin Han Chu, who quickly blocked her way. "Are you really coming in?"

"I knew you wouldn't dare."

"I'm leaving."

A Xiang laughed happily twice, then turned and left.

Watching A Xiang's retreating back, a smile curved Qin Han Chu's lips.

Holding the two bottles of Shuo Hun Pills, Qin Han Chu returned to his room.

After taking the Shuo Hun Pills, the growth rate of his mental power had clearly increased significantly.

Of course, this was only a relative increase in speed, not to say that his progress was meteoric.

One Shuo Hun Pill was equivalent to a month of normal cultivation.

After finishing these two bottles of Shuo Hun Pills, Qin Han Chu would have effectively gained a year of cultivation time compared to normal practice.

The next morning, A Xiang arrived outside Qin Han Chu's door early.

Although she had arrived, she did not rush to knock.

Qin Han Chu sensed A Xiang's arrival and walked out.

Seeing A Xiang sitting on the stairs, Qin Han Chu asked, "Why didn't you call me?"

"I was afraid of disturbing your cultivation," A Xiang replied with a smile.

Qin Han Chu: "Can I refuse to go with you?"

"Let's go."

With that, A Xiang directly took Qin Han Chu's hand and walked out.

A moment later, the two arrived at Nangong Yu's guest room.

"Our young lady has not woken up yet. Please wait here." Nangong Yu's guard stopped them outside the courtyard of the guest room.

A Xiang understood Nangong Yu too well. She knew Nangong Yu wanted her to wait for her like this.

"Tell your young lady that we will go out and explore first."

"When she wakes up, she can find us."

"If she doesn't need me to guide her, she can wander freely."

After speaking, A Xiang prepared to take Qin Han Chu away.

As the two took only a few steps, the door of the guest room was pulled open in anger.

Nangong Yu, with a cold expression, said, "The hospitality of your Hantian City doesn't seem very good. Did Elder Han teach you this?"

A Xiang chuckled lightly. "Shall I call my father and have you ask him directly?"

"You!"

Nangong Yu was so angry she was speechless.

How would she dare to ask such a question in front of Han Tian?

"Can we go now?"

"Do you need time to compose yourself?"

"Though there's nothing much to compose."

A Xiang said indifferently.

"You still have the nerve to talk about my composure?"

"Look at your own figure."

Nangong Yu snorted.

"I think it's quite good; a bit chubby and very cute," Qin Han Chu said with a smile at this moment.

Hearing this, A Xiang laughed happily. "Someone likes me this way, so I think it's quite good."

"To curry favor with the powerful, you'll say anything, won't you?"

"Shameless is the word for you, isn't it?"

Nangong Yu glared at Qin Han Chu and said.

Qin Han Chu ignored Nangong Yu and said to A Xiang, "Let's go, I'm hungry."

"Let's go, I'll take you for breakfast."

Saying that, the two walked forward on their own.

Seeing this, Nangong Yu was so angry her eyes were spitting fire.

How could she not know that Qin Han Chu was accompanying A Xiang to anger her?

...

The main hall of Tianque Fort was where the sect's powerful cultivators trained.

At this moment, the furious Fort Master of Tianque Fort stormed into the main hall.

He knelt down on both knees and said in anger, "Han Tian not only refused to hand over the person but also spoke wild words! I request the Grand Elders to seek justice for my son."

"Seek justice? How do you suggest we seek it?"

"Should the four of us lead the martial artists of Tianque Fort to attack Hantian City?"

"Han Tian and his wife are not to be trifled with. Even if the four of us attack together, we may not gain the upper hand."

"Is Tianque Fort worth the risk for your son?"

"From today onwards, you are no longer the Fort Master of Tianque Fort; you will be an elder."

In the martial world, heartlessness and lack of loyalty were extremely common.

The Fort Master of Tianque Fort became the Fort Master due to his outstanding leadership abilities; he did not have a Spirit God Realm expert as a backer.

To the powerful cultivators of Tianque Fort, even if the Fort Master died, it was not worth them going to war with Hantian City.

Furthermore, it was merely the Fort Master's son who had died.

"What!"

The Fort Master of Tianque Fort had a premonition that the sect elders would not help him, but he never expected that not only would they not help, but they would also strip him of his position as Fort Master.

At this moment, the Fort Master of Tianque Fort was very angry.

He had contributed so much to Tianque Fort, only to be met with such indifference.

Although he was angry, he did not argue with these powerful cultivators.

In front of these powerful cultivators, there was no reasoning to be had.

"Hantian City is not as simple as it appears on the surface. We do not want your anger to escalate the situation."

"When you let go of this hatred, the position of Fort Master will still be yours."

The Fort Master of Tianque Fort, suppressing his anger, said, "Perhaps Tianque Fort alone is not a match for Hantian City, but with the addition of the Twin Extremity Sect, we can certainly force Han Tian to back down."

"You think too highly of the Twin Extremity Sect. Do their Spirit God Realm experts dare to leave Qingniu Prefecture?"

"If they leave Qingniu Prefecture, the Twin Extremity Sect is very likely to be wiped out."

One of the elders said.

The Fort Master of Tianque Fort fell silent. He knew that these words were not empty threats.

"You may leave. While you are still young, have another son."

"Your son only knew how to idle about; his death is not a loss."

The Fort Master of Tianque Fort, filled with rage, dared not cause trouble in front of these powerful cultivators.

He snorted and directly left the main hall.

Half an hour later, the Fort Master of Tianque Fort, along with his wife, arrived at Wang Zhonghe's location.

Upon learning that Tianque Fort dared not confront Hantian City, Wang Zhonghe was very disappointed.

He had intended to use Tianque Fort's strength to avenge his son, but he did not expect Tianque Fort to be so cowardly.

"What are your plans?"

"Are you just going to pretend nothing happened?"

Wang Zhonghe asked.

"The revenge for my son's death is irreconcilable."

"Since the sect will not act, my wife and I can only find an opportunity to kill Qin Han Chu ourselves."

Wang Zhonghe said, "I had the same idea."

"Let's go to Hantian City now and find an opportunity to strike."

"After killing Qin Han Chu, we will flee immediately."

The Fort Master of Tianque Fort said.

The three of them hit it off and set off together towards Hantian City.

At this time, Qin Han Chu and the other two were eating breakfast at a restaurant.

Nangong Yu wanted to find an opportunity to mock Qin Han Chu and the other, but the two of them completely ignored her, which made Nangong Yu extremely annoyed.
