"Kid, now you know fear, right? It's too late. Offending me, wait for the Li Family's retaliation. Within a thousand miles radius here, the Tianyuan Sect stands alone as the dominant power. No matter which family's disciple you are, it won't help."
Li Qian saw Chen Yu explain the Li Family's background to Qin Xiao, and he immediately gained more confidence.
You didn't know my identity before, kid, daring to make a move. Now you're probably regretting it so much you want to cut off your own hand.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, come before me, kowtow three times, then call out 'Grandpa Li' three times. Oh right, also give your maid servant to this young master. This young master can spare your life."
Li Qian saw Qin Xiao not speaking, and immediately became even bolder. Kid, now you know my identity, try moving against me again.
Qin Xiao remained silent, just slowly walked to Li Qian's front.
"You kid, you know what's good for you."
Li Qian saw Qin Xiao obediently walk over, and assumed Qin Xiao was coming to kowtow, his face becoming even more smug, though it still hurt a bit when he smiled.
"Kid, seeing you still know what's good for you, just kowtow once and that's enough. Leave the maid servant and those three pieces of clothing behind, then get lost quickly."
Although Li Qian received a slap, if he could exchange it for an exceptionally beautiful maid servant, plus clothes worth thirty thousand Spirit Stones, it was barely acceptable after all. After all, this was the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion's property. Causing trouble was possible, but killing people would be going too far.
But when Qin Xiao walked before Li Qian, he didn't kneel down as Li Qian thought. Instead, he jumped up and gave another slap, directly hitting Li Qian flying to the staircase entrance, rolling directly from the second floor down to the first floor hall.
Even so, Qin Xiao still didn't stop. He directly rushed to the first floor, grabbed the still dazed Li Qian and started wildly slapping him.
"What are you acting so high and mighty for? You even dare to scheme against my disciple. I'll slap you to death, you bastard."
Qin Xiao cursed while slapping.
Li Qian's attendants were all waiting on the first floor. When they saw their young master getting crazily slapped, they directly froze, momentarily forgetting to step forward to help.
"Quickly invite the Li Family Ancestor, quickly invite the Li Family Ancestor."
The slapped-dazed Li Qian suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly shouting loudly toward his attendants.
He didn't count on these useless subordinates to save him either. Their cultivation levels weren't even higher than his own. He could only have someone quickly go call the Ancestor. The Li Family Ancestor had Golden Core late stage cultivation.
"Oh, still calling for people, right? Watch me not slap you to death."
Hearing Li Qian sending someone to call for reinforcements, Qin Xiao became even more furious, slapping even faster.
"Who is causing trouble at my Heavenly Clothes Pavilion's place?"
Not long after slapping, someone walked in, though it wasn't the Li Family Ancestor, but a woman with a voluptuous figure who looked like a young married woman.
"Pay respects to Pavilion Master."
When the Heavenly Clothes Shop people saw the newcomer, they all kneeled down in reverence.
Turns out this person was precisely the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Ye Tianyi, Soul Formation early stage cultivation.
Hearing the shop's proprietor had arrived, Qin Xiao also stopped slapping the person, got up and tidied up his appearance a bit.
"So it's the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion Master. Long admired, long admired."
Qin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and said.
This bit of worldly tact, Qin Xiao still understood. What long admired, after all it was just the first time hearing of her. But pleasantries still had to be said.
"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in my Heavenly Clothes Pavilion's shop? Who are your elders?"
Ye Tianyi didn't directly interrogate, but first probed the other party's background. Although her Heavenly Clothes Pavilion was also a not-small force, in this Qingzhou there were still many forces stronger than her Heavenly Clothes Pavilion. She must absolutely not act rashly. After all, the other party dared to cause trouble in her place, and definitely had some backing.
"Disciple, what cultivation level is this person?"
Qin Xiao didn't answer immediately, but quietly asked Yun Man beside him.
"I can't see through her. The other party is at least similar to the Sect's Elders. Should be Soul Formation realm."
Yun Man's face also turned somewhat serious. After all, the newcomer's strength was indeed a bit strong, exceeding her capability range.
"Pavilion Master, can we speak in private?"
Seeing the other party was a tough opponent, Qin Xiao could only use the Tianyuan Sect as a shield. But this place had many people and loose tongues. He couldn't let rumors spread that he was relying on the Tianyuan Sect's backing to cause trouble everywhere. Otherwise, returning to the Sect he would get lectured by those old fellows again.
"Alright, follow me to the backyard."
Ye Tianyi for the moment also couldn't be sure, so she agreed. She wanted to see what identity this kid could have.
"Disciple, wait for me here. Absolutely don't let this kid run away. If he dares to run, beat him up."
Qin Xiao instructed Yun Man, then also followed Ye Tianyi into the backyard.
"Alright, no one here. Can you speak now?"
Ye Tianyi had been preparing all along. If this person had no identity and was still causing trouble here, then she would unavoidably have to capture this person and hand him over to the Li Family for disposal.
"Senior, this junior is untalented. I am the Tianyuan Sect's Seven Stars Peak's Peak Master."
Qin Xiao hurriedly took out the Peak Master token and handed it to Ye Tianyi.
"It's actually you? That old man Qin's only Personal Disciple?"
Ye Tianyi checked the token and found it was indeed genuine. Only then did she look somewhat surprised at Qin Xiao.
"Does Pavilion Master know my master?"
Qin Xiao heard from her tone that the other party seemed to know his master.
"Know him, of course I know him. That old man directly abducted my Heavenly Clothes Pavilion's Great Elder back then. If I couldn't beat him, I would've gone to find him years ago. But rumors say he died three years ago. Pity I can't personally beat him up."
Ye Tianyi said through gritted teeth. It could be seen she was determined to beat up Qin Xiao's master.
"Ah? Pavilion Master, this matter has nothing to do with me. I just entered the Sect three years ago. I didn't know I still had a mistress."
Looking at Ye Tianyi's expression, Qin Xiao hurriedly cleared himself of any connection. This matter had nothing to do with him.
"Forget it. Three years ago before your master died, the Great Elder returned. Only she entered Secluded Cultivation as soon as she returned, and until now she still hasn't come out. I also don't know what happened between them."
Ye Tianyi also couldn't be bothered to argue with a dead person. After complaining, she didn't bring it up again.
"Pavilion Master, since your Great Elder has returned, then we can be considered somewhat related by marriage. After all, my mistress is still in Secluded Cultivation, right? We're all family. This matter, let's just forget it. At most I'll give some Spirit Stone compensation."
Seeing Ye Tianyi had somewhat softened, Qin Xiao hurriedly tried to establish relations.
He had to establish relations, with no other choice. His master had abducted the other party's Great Elder. She probably didn't have much favorable impression of him, this so-called Peak Master. The Tianyuan Sect shield wasn't too effective.
"Kid, less smooth-talking. I'll naturally investigate the specific situation, then decide later."
Ye Tianyi gave Qin Xiao a speechless look, then walked out.
Qin Xiao naturally also followed out. As long as this Heavenly Clothes Pavilion didn't interfere, he didn't care about the Li Family.
"Chen Yu, you're the second floor shopping guide. You were present the entire time. Tell me, exactly what happened."
Ye Tianyi didn't ask Qin Xiao nor Li Qian, but directly asked Chen Yu.
Subsequently, Chen Yu didn't conceal anything and explained the whole story's sequence of events, also not adding exaggerations.
"Li Qian, relying on the Li Family, coming to my Heavenly Clothes Pavilion's shop to throw your weight around, quite the impressive authority."
Ye Tianyi finally understood. Turns out this really wasn't Qin Xiao intentionally causing trouble, but this Li Qian who started it.
"Pavilion Master, although I was at fault, he also can't hit people. He hit me first. Seeing this was the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion's place, I didn't even fight back."
Li Qian also knew he was in the wrong, hurriedly explaining.
"You didn't fight back? You wanted to, but could you?"
Qin Xiao saw Li Qian still pretending, immediately interjected.
"Who dares hit my Li Family disciple in this Tianyuan City? Quickly get out here and accept death for this old man."
Just as Qin Xiao finished speaking, outside sounded the Li Family Ancestor's voice.
