Chapter 24 - Trying to Put on a Show

“Brother Qin…”

At this time, Bai Chen said with slight embarrassment, “Please don’t take what happened before to heart, Brother Qin.”

He was talking about the matter of his son giving Qin Chuan the pure yang spirit sword.

At that time, he treated Qin Chuan as a Pure Yang realm cultivator and didn’t give him much respect.

“Those who do not know are not guilty.”

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, “In the coming days, we father and son will still be living in Minghao City. Please take care of us, City Lord Bai.”

“Brother Qin, if you need anything, just let me know!” Bai Chen quickly took advantage of the situation, appearing extremely friendly.

“Since that’s the case, we father and son will go back first. I hope we did not cause any trouble to City Lord Bai.”

Qin Chuan said as if he was implying something.

“This…”

Bai Chen smiled bitterly and said, “Although something happened to Grandmaster Pang Qi, I’m still the City Lord of a major city, and a member of the Bai family. It won’t be easy for them to vent their anger on me.”

“It’s that Bai Family?”

Qin Chuan’s eyes flashed.

According to what he knew, there were four great palaces, five armies, three dukes and nine aristocratic families under the Imperial Family of the Nine Sun Dynasty.

And the Bai family was one of the nine aristocratic families. It had existed since the founding of the country. There were many strong people, and it had a deep foundation.

“That’s right.”

Bai Chen smiled and nodded, revealing a deep smile, as if he was showing off something.

After all, the Bai family had existed for more than two thousand years, and its foundation was already unfathomable. There were more than ten Nirvana realm experts.

However, he didn’t see the respect and solemnity that he wanted to see in Qin Chuan’s eyes. He only saw the usual indifference.

“Oh.”

Qin chuan nodded. Then, he held Qin Zi’s hand and walked out of the crowd.

The crowd that had been stunned for a long time hurriedly stepped back to make way for him, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

The father and son slowly walked away.

Bai Chen looked at the two figures and frowned.

Qin Chuan!

As far as he knew, this person was only the head of a small family in Xunyang City under the jurisdiction of Minghao City.

This person’s life was ordinary.

Other than traveling and training when he was young, the rest of his life was very ordinary.

His strength at the peak of the Origin Core realm was about the same.

It was alright in a small place like Xunyang City, but in Minghao City, it was completely unpresentable.

“Could it be that he just broke through recently? But no one can directly reach the Nirvana realm from the Origin Core realm in such a short time!”

“Moreover, judging from the power of his previous attacks, he probably already has a battle strength comparable to the fifth level of the Nirvana realm.”

“This kind of strength is definitely not a recent breakthrough. Unless, he has always been very strong.”

“But…”

He had previously investigated. Previously, that Qin Chuan had suffered a lot of grievances in that small Xunyang city’s Qin family.

For example, the Great Elder had made it difficult for him to carry out family reforms. For example, his son, Qin Zi, was often bullied in the Qin family.

Which expert would let himself live such a cowardly life?

Some experts were indeed low-key.

But being low-key didn’t mean being cowardly!

If he lived a cowardly life and couldn’t even protect his son, then what was the point of having such strength?

“This person is truly unfathomable…”

After a long while, he sighed. He had already made up his mind not to become enemies with this person.

In truth, what he hoped the most was to cut ties with Qin Chuan as soon as possible. It was naturally for the best for this father and son pair to leave Minghao city as soon as possible.

In this way, the grudge between Qin Chuan and Master Pang Qi would have nothing to do with him.

However, he didn’t dare to directly send Qin Chuan away, and he didn’t even dare to hint anything.

Master Pang Qi, who was at the third level of the Nirvana realm, was crippled. Bai Chen was only at the second level of the Nirvana realm. It was best not to offend this ruthless person…

…

Qin Chuan and his son returned to the courtyard.

Before they sat down, an old man from the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce came to their door with a friendly smile.

“Lord Qin Chuan, our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was blind before. We actually thought you were a Pure Yang realm martial artist. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

The old man bowed and said.

“No, no, we didn’t do anything to receive such a grand manor. It’s us, father and son, who don’t deserve it.”

Qin Chuan said courteously.

You respect me a foot, I’ll respect you teen feet. When it didn’t involve benefits, he could barely be considered a good person.

“Lord Qin Chuan is being modest. A strong person should receive treatment that is compatible with his strength.”

The old man said with a smile.

Then, he clapped his hands. The attendant behind him immediately brought out an exquisite and grand sandalwood box and opened it.

“This is an upper-grade nirvana martial art, named ‘Scorching Sun Burning Heaven Sword’. It’s a greeting gift from the headquarters of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.”

The old man said respectfully.

“How fast are you guys?”

Qin Chuan was slightly surprised. He had only displayed the strength of the Nirvana realm less than two hours ago, but the headquarters of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce already knew of him and sent him a gift?

“Hehe, actually, this wasn’t just sent by the headquarters. It’s a set of rules. Whenever a Nirvana realm expert appears in Minghao City, our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will send them a gift.”

The old man said with a smile.

Qin Chuan was a little shocked.

Every Nirvana realm expert would receive a gift? Are you so rich? Is this the strategy of casting a wide net?

No wonder the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was able to develop to such an extent. With their network expanding to such an extent, no one dared to touch them.

Money could make the devil push the millstone.[1]

If it couldn’t, it just meant that the money wasn’t enough.

The right price had to be paid!!

Qin Chuan took a look at the martial arts and teased, “Don’t tell me you guys have printed many copies of this martial arts manual?”

“Hehe, what are you saying, Sir? The gifts given by our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce are all unique. This is basic sincerity.”

The old man explained with a smile.

“Of course, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce definitely collect martial arts manuals, but under normal circumstances, they don’t give them to anyone else.”

Qin Chuan nodded upon hearing this, cupped his hands and said, “Then I, Qin, will accept this favor from the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.”

“Your excellency is indeed bright. From now on, you will be a distinguished guest of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. We welcome your presence at any time.”

The old man revealed a satisfied smile, like a diplomat who had successfully established diplomatic relations. He took out a crystal card and handed it over with both hands.

“This is our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce’s Supreme VIP card. With this card, all purchases in the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will be free. Of course, this does not include the auction. After all, there is no price ceiling for the auction.”

Qin Chuan took the VIP card and nodded.

This was understandable.

After all, the auction was one of the most profitable businesses of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. If the VIP card made everything free, then the auction would not be able to continue.

“Alright, the items have been delivered. Then this old man will take his leave first. Sir, there is no need to send me off.”

The old man bowed to Qin Chuan and then left the courtyard with a few attendants.

“Father, this Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is really generous. In terms of bribing people, even the royal family can’t compare to them.”

Qin Zi said excitedly.

“Hehe, it’s just a small profit. Look at how useless you are.”

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes, then casually threw the martial arts manual to Qin Zi. “I don’t need this thing. Take it and have a look.”

It looked like he casually threw it away.

In fact, it still hurt a little.

But he had to pretend!

After all, as an invincible expert, how could he possibly keep a mere nirvana-level martial arts manual as a treasure?

Qin Zi and the old man in the ring had both seen this martial arts manual with their own eyes. If he were to use it in the future… These two people would definitely think, Why did he use the martial arts manual gifted by the Chamber of Commerce?

Could it be… that there was no better martial arts manual?!

An invincible expert was in a tight spot?

If that was the case, wouldn’t his image be ruined?

Therefore, in the face of the temptation of such small benefits, he had to try his best to act as nonchalant as an invincible expert should be!

“The head of the Chen family, Chen Guang, has brought his younger brother, Chen Sheng, and niece, Chen Biling, to pay a visit to Lord Qin Chuan.”

At this time, a respectful voice sounded outside the courtyard, full of energy, but very polite.
