Chapter 1158: Qin Shan Hai, you want me to eat but you flip the table?

Huh???

Early in the morning I rushed to Place: Zhu Feng, and without even seeing the 'meal ticket', I heard Ye Zhangqing speak as soon as I arrived.

Hearing that, Mu You was startled, but quickly reacted and still forced himself to speak.

"Little Ye Zhangqing, what do you mean by that? I'm just here to find little Shan Hu and go to my Hundred Herbs Peak to check out a treasure."

Ye Zhangqing shook his head with a wry smile. "Looking for a treasure? What treasure? Just say you want food."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's doubtful expression, Mu You grew anxious.

"Damn, I finally snatched this spot after great effort, and today it's finally my turn—why did I run into this situation?"

"No way, today's meal is mine, Mu You—no heavenly king could stop it, I'm telling you."

I quickly thought of an excuse, but before Mu You could speak, Ye Zhangqing spoke first.

"Peak Master Mu You, stop thinking about it, and really, stop messing around—little Shan Hu is about to break down."

Huh???

Upon hearing that, Mu You was a bit stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Could it be that Hong Zun and the others did something to Shan Hu? You damn brutes, how old are you, what methods did you use on a kid—did you drive him into withdrawal?"

Mu You cursed inwardly, "Take it easy, take it easy—now look, damn, something's gone wrong."

But even now, Mu You refuses to give up—he fought hard for this spot, how could he fail now? He's determined to get a bite to eat today.

Feigning confusion with an innocent look, Mu You played dumb.

"Little Ye Zhangqing, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word—I really came just to call Shan Hu to my Hundred Herbs Peak to look at a treasure."

"Peak Master Mu You, Peak Master Qin Shan Hai came by yesterday, he......................"

Seeing that, Ye Zhangqing didn't waste words, and recounted to Mu You exactly what had happened yesterday and Shan Hu's reaction upon returning.

Hearing that, Mu You froze completely, his teeth unconsciously clenching.

"Qin Shan Hai? You damn bastard, what the hell are you doing? Damn, take it easy."

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's description, even Mu You couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

No wonder Shan Hu ended up withdrawn—if you treat anyone like that, they'd withdraw too.

"Damn, can't you just invite people properly instead of tricking and deceiving them?"

"Why threaten people with self‑harm? There's no way you'd invite anyone like that—it's outright absurd."

Mu You felt dazed. With Qin Shan Hai doing this, how was he supposed to handle today? He'd even prepared liquor and promised his wife a candlelit dinner, just waiting to dig in.

Now that Qin Shan Hai has done this, has the duck in his hand flown away?

Mu You was utterly unwilling, and Ye Zhangqing obviously wouldn't let him succeed.

Even if Mu You used every trick, Ye Zhangqing wouldn't budge—"looking for a treasure? More like looking for bullshit."

"If you're going to fleece people, don't just focus on one—you've almost fleeced Shan Hu bald."

Ye Zhangqing stood firm; Mu You had no recourse, and after dawdling for over an hour, he reluctantly left.

At least I managed to stop those old fogies—still, at their age they're never trouble‑free.

Not long after Mu You left, Hong Zun, Lin Potian, Mu You and many other senior brothers gathered inside Qin Shan Hai's dwelling on Blood Blade Peak.

At that moment the senior brothers surrounded Qin Shan Hai, speaking indignantly—especially those like Mu You who still hadn't eaten, who were especially worked up.

"Damn, we've waited ages just to get our turn, but Qin Shan Hai's antics have blocked the road completely."

Now nobody can eat—can anyone put up with this?

"No, Senior Brother, what were you thinking, threatening people with self‑harm?"

"Yeah, we kindly gave you the spot, but you went and finished your meal, then flung the table aside?"

"Nobody's getting any food now, Senior Brother—tell us what's going on."

"I................"

Faced with the senior brothers' accusations, Qin Shan Hai didn't know how to defend himself.

After all, what they said was indeed true.

But he didn't mean to—yesterday's situation left him with no choice, so he resorted to this.

"Seniors and juniors, I didn't mean to—little Shan Hu simply refused to leave, I had no option, and in a panic I did this."

Qin Shan Hai explained earnestly, but it was obviously feeble and unconvincing, and nobody believed him.

"Senior Brother, if the kid won't come, why don't you coax him?"

"Yeah, with a bit of cajoling and trickery, surely you can handle a little kid?"

"Just a little trick and you'd have him wrapped around your finger—Senior Brother, why insist on using self‑harm?"

"Now it's out—Little Ye Zhangqing found out, and this morning junior brother Mu You was stopped, so none of us will get to eat."

"Junior brother, you bear the main responsibility for this."

The senior and junior brothers chattered on, leaving Qin Shan Hai feeling vexed and restless.

He really had no alternative—he didn't do it on purpose.

Besides, you want me to wheedle and deceive, but I'd need the skill to do that.

If you want Qin Shan Hai to cheat people, you might as well give him a knife and let him go fight to the death.

If he had that ability, would he still be Qin Shan Hai?

But just thinking that they might miss their next meal, everyone felt deep resentment, crowding around Qin Shan Hai and chattering nonstop.

In an argument, Qin Shan Hai is no match—whether he's right or wrong, he can't stand up to the senior and junior brothers.

The more they quarreled, the more annoying it got—finally a sudden *sizzle* and their voices cut off abruptly.

Everyone watched as Qin Shan Hai, at some point, drew his treasure blade, the long sword flashing out of its sheath, and each senior and junior brother froze.

Junior brother, what are you trying to do?

No, Shī xiōng, we didn't say anything.

First put the knife down, then let's talk properly, okay?

Yeah, we're all brothers from the same family; if there's anything, we can just settle it behind closed doors.

However, Qin Shanhai had already slowly raised his long sword, the tip pointing at himself, and he spoke calmly.

All Shī xiōng and junior brothers, yesterday's incident was indeed not intentional on my part; I really hadn't thought that much, and only in desperation did I resort to this.

If you Shī xiōng and junior brothers feel uneasy and insist that I, Qin Mou, give an explanation, then I can only do this.

Huh???

Hearing Qin Shanhai's words and seeing his appearance, everyone only felt their scalps go numb. No, what the hell are you trying to do? Are you still coming? We definitely don't mean that!
