Chapter 55: Upgrade! Red Tiger Fist Fourth Layer!

Lao Liu nodded repeatedly, constantly wiping the sweat on his face, and quickly moved the abacus in his hand. "Eh, eh, eh, right away, right away."

He looked at Qin Jiang sitting in the pavilion from time to time, his eyes filled with a hint of fear. He recognized the fox fur cloak Qin Jiang was wearing.

It's only been a few days? This guy is already a deacon of the Red Tiger Gang, and he has mastered the Red Tiger Fist! If he hadn't greeted him when he came, he really wouldn't have dared to confirm it.

It's really a trick of fate. If he had known this guy was so powerful that day, even if he didn't take money, he would have had to serve him well! A martial artist in the Divine Intent Realm, and a deacon of the Red Tiger Gang, in this Inner City, the entire Li family couldn't find a few who could compare with him!

"Hurry up! Hurry up! My Boss is waiting! Can't you see?" Meng An urged constantly.

Lao Liu had no choice but to respond in a low voice, his hands moving faster and faster.

Finally, after a quarter of an hour, he looked at Meng An with a flattering smile. "Calculated, it's two hundred and sixteen taels and three hundred and twenty wen in total."

Meng An was shocked upon hearing this. So much? He only spent a little over a hundred taels to get these. After all, although this batch was large in quantity, a large part of it was bought back for only a few dozen wen, let alone one tael of silver!

"Why calculate so precisely? Wipe off the zero, two hundred and twenty taels! How about it? My calculation is not bad, right?" he said.

Lao Liu couldn't help but grit his teeth upon hearing this. You are really a good accountant! "Fine, I'll listen to you!"

He didn't dare to say more, because he knew this money was for Qin Jiang.

Although Qin Jiang was very kind when he greeted him, who knew if he would hold a grudge in his heart?

If he annoyed him, it wouldn't be something a small antique shop master like him could bear! He took out a money bag, flipped through it, and looked at Meng An. "Deacon Meng, the silver money I brought with me is not enough, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip."

Meng An waved his hand impatiently. "Really troublesome, hurry up and go."

After speaking, he looked at Qin Jiang. "Boss, I'll go with him, I'll be back soon!"

Qin Jiang nodded slightly.

Not long after the two left, a figure walked into the courtyard.

Qin Jiang looked over. The visitor was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his long hair tied up with a jade crown, wearing a black fox fur cloak, and the cuffs also lacked the Red Tiger mark.

"Who are you?"

The visitor's face changed slightly, a bit embarrassed, and he bowed slightly. "I am Zhang Lin."

The confusion in Qin Jiang's eyes did not fade. "Zhang Lin... is?"

Opposite, the embarrassment on Zhang Lin's face became even more intense, even carrying a hint of confusion.

No way? In two days, we are both going to compete for the position of Hall Master, and you don't even know who I am?

Even if you haven't seen me, you should at least know the name, right?

Unaccountably, a sense of frustration rose in him.

"I am the deacon of the Fourth Hall who mastered the Red Tiger Fist and is going to compete with you for the position of Hall Master the day after tomorrow," he said.

Qin Jiang realized. "Oh~ sit down, there are iced pears, do you want to taste them?"

???

Zhang Lin looked at Qin Jiang with confusion. No... I, Big Brother, I am your competitor, right?

Do you have to be so casual? It makes me look like some trash that can be dismissed at will.

Qin Jiang looked at Zhang Lin and gestured to the seat opposite him. "Sit down."

He could feel that although there was *Sha* Qi in the body of the person in front of him, it was extremely thin and posed no threat to him at all.

Zhang Lin stood where he was for a while, then nodded slightly and walked to the pavilion to sit down.

He cupped his hands. "Brother Qin, I have heard of your name for a long time. Seeing you today, you are indeed as handsome as the rumors say."

"Brother Zhang is too polite. Quickly taste this pear, I bought it from a traveling merchant at a great price," Qin Jiang laughed.

Zhang Lin's cupped hands froze in mid-air, looking at the plate of snow pears in front of him with hesitation.

"What? Are you afraid I poisoned it?" Qin Jiang asked with a smile.

Zhang Lin was silent for a moment, picked up a snow pear and placed it on an empty plate, and touched the top of the snow pear with his fingers. A wisp of *Sha* Qi instantly passed through the snow pear, removing the core and dividing it into four pieces completely.

"Brother Qin, please."

This move of his cannot be considered a subtle means, but it can make his own *Sha* Qi linger in the snow pear.

If he wanted to eat the snow pear, he would inevitably have to clash with his *Sha* Qi. Qin Jiang looked at the four pieces of snow pear in front of him, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and looked at Zhang Lin. "I said... Zhang Lin, right? What does this mean?"

He stood up slowly, and the rich *Sha* Qi flowed like falling immortal mist. When it flooded over Zhang Lin's ankles, it made him shiver uncontrollably.

Such rich *Sha* Qi! How is this possible?! Even that old thing Nie Dongsheng couldn't possibly possess such rich *Sha* Qi! What kind of thing is this guy practicing?!

Zhang Lin's pupils shrank, revealing a hint of unbelievable shock, even carrying a hint of terror.

Qin Jiang leaned over and pressed one hand on Zhang Lin's shoulder. "I kindly invited you to eat pears, it doesn't matter if you don't appreciate it, but you still want to test me like this? Do you really think I am some kind of gentleman?"

The rich *Sha* Qi caused the temperature around them to drop by several degrees, and fine cold sweat appeared on the back of Zhang Lin's neck.

This kind of oppression was truly like a terrifying giant tiger looking down at him. Every pore in his body was telling him it was dangerous!

"Brother... Brother Qin, calm your anger. I... I just wanted to establish a bottom line with Brother Qin, even if... even if we compete for the position of Hall Master the day after tomorrow, let's... let's not hurt the harmony."

Qin Jiang looked like he suddenly realized something upon hearing this. "So that's how it is. It was I who blamed Brother Zhang wrongly."

He withdrew his hand with a smile, sat down slowly, and the *Sha* Qi gradually retracted.

"Then how does Brother Zhang feel?" he asked with a smile.

Zhang Lin couldn't help but swallow his saliva. "Brother Qin's strength is extraordinary, naturally far beyond what Zhang can compare to."

He was very puzzled. How did this person in front of him do it? With such rich *Sha* Qi, he hasn't fallen into *Qi* deviation yet? Or... is he already in a state of *Qi* deviation?

He looked at Qin Jiang and cupped his hands slightly. "Brother Qin, to tell you the truth, competing for the position of Hall Master is actually not what I want, just because of Elder Nie's pressure, I have to do so.

Coming here today is actually to communicate with Brother Qin, so that when the day after tomorrow comes, we won't really have to fight to the death."

"Then now, do you understand?" Qin Jiang said.

Zhang Lin nodded quickly. "That's natural, that's natural. This position of Hall Master naturally belongs to Brother Qin. I think after the day after tomorrow, Zhang will have to call you Fourth Master."

Qin Jiang smiled. "Since there is nothing else, you can go back."

"Alright, alright, I'll leave now."

Zhang Lin stood up quickly and left as if fleeing. He didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.

In his eyes, Qin Jiang at this time was like a monster that could lose control at any time. If the *Sha* Qi rushed to the top and he fell into *Qi* deviation, he could start a massacre at any time! Qin Jiang watched Zhang Lin's back until he disappeared completely, picked up a piece of snow pear and took a bite, looking silently at the bright moon that had just risen in the sky.

Is it the influence of *Sha* Qi? Actually, he is a shy teenager.

"Boss! Boss! It still has to be you! You didn't even have to say anything, just sitting here, that guy Lao Liu didn't even dare to fart, and gave me the silver happily!

If you ask me, Boss, you are more intimidating than any warrior from the Rong Kingdom! Just showing your face makes them dare not speak! You are simply the reincarnation of the Barbarian King!"

Meng An walked in quickly, holding a few silver notes and ten taels of broken silver.

Qin Jiang's head was full of black lines upon hearing this. He opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything to refute.

"Alright, you continue to collect, don't bother me if there's nothing else. By the way, close the door when you leave."

After speaking, he ate the remaining half piece of snow pear and walked directly into the room.

Meng An's footsteps stopped, scratching his head, his eyes full of confusion.

What's wrong with the Boss? He looked at the snow pears in the pavilion. Could it be that this thing can affect sanity?

Can't be, right? Shaking his head, he silently put the silver money into his bosom, thought about it, and went over to take a few more snow pears, and then left directly.

Inside the room, Qin Jiang sat at the table, closing his eyes slightly.
