Chapter 431: Isn't this forced buying and selling?

The crisp slap sound was very loud in the private room.

Qiu Yingjie and his master both looked at Lin Yang.

"Ah, you dare hit me, I will fight you!"

Facing Qiu Yingjie's shout, Lin Yang completely ignored it.

Instead, Lin Yang looked at the old man with a youthful face and white hair and asked with a smile.

"What do you think is wrong with my approach?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and asked Lin Yang.

"Do you know where we two come from?"

Lin Yang shook his head.

Seeing Lin Yang shake his head, the old man continued.

"You casually attack people whose background you don't know— isn't that too overconfident?"

Seeing the old man retract his right hand into his sleeve, Lin Yang said.

"No."

"Because you are not my opponents; why should I fear you?"

"Whoever among you speaks rudely to me, I will discipline that person."

As soon as Lin Yang finished speaking, the old man shot a short sword from his sleeve straight at Lin Yang's face.

But before it could touch Lin Yang, he caught it with two fingers.

"Bang"

A short sword was directly snapped by Lin Yang's fingers.

After snapping it, Lin Yang looked at the old man.

"Do you need me to send you on your way?"

Seeing Lin Yang's reaction so fast, at such a short distance, he could actually catch his own flying sword barehanded!

"Impossible, you aren't a cultivator, how can your reaction be faster than a martial artist's?"

Lin Yang looked at him and shook his head.

The cultivators and martial artists he had encountered all focused on cultivating power but not the body, leaving their physiques weak.

That is why Lin Yang's slaughter of them has always been one-sided.

He thought it might be that the inherited cultivation method had a gap, causing this situation.

However, this is merely his speculation, needing future verification.

Now he rose and walked toward the old man.

"You want to put me to death; what do you say I should do to you?"

Seeing Lin Yang walk toward him, the old man suddenly rose and retreated.

"I am the Guest Elder of the Qiu Family in Modu; if you kill me, the Qiu Family will not let you go!"

Qiu Yingjie also shouted.

"Lin Yang, stop!"

"If you kill my master, I will certainly not let you go!"

Lin Yang sighed and said.

"This is the common problem of your big family; clearly you are now inferior to me."

"And you still think to use your family to threaten me."

"Do you think you still have a chance to leave alive if I make a move?"

Hearing Lin Yang say this, Qiu Yingjie finally realized his situation.

The master who used to be lofty now only has fear before Lin Yang.

He himself, before Lin Yang, is like a child, easily manipulated.

After some inner struggle, Qiu Yingjie asked weakly.

"What do you want to do?"

"As long as you bring it up, I will try to accomplish it."

Lin Yang glanced at Qiu Yingjie and smiled lightly.

"From now on, keep your head low when you speak."

"Also, that old man, come sit down; watching you stand is annoying."

The old man, who used to be lofty wherever he went, now finds Lin Yang's words hard to accept!

"Lin Yang, a scholar may be killed but not humiliated!"

Hearing that, Lin Yang had two silver needles appear in his hand.

"With these two silver needles, I can cripple your ordinary cultivation; you can try if you don't believe me."

Hearing this, the old man broke out in a cold sweat.

After a moment of silence, he still yielded.

He sighed, walked to Lin Yang, and sat down.

His sitting posture now is about the same as before.

However, the composure and contempt on Qiu Yingjie and his companions' faces have completely disappeared.

In their place are fear and unwillingness.

They don't understand where this young monster came from.

Before coming, they had already thought that Lin Yang was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The old man could still steadily suppress Lin Yang.

But upon actually seeing Lin Yang, there wasn't even a chance to make a move.

Lin Yang took in both of their expressions fully.

He smiled slightly and asked Qiu Yingjie.

"Xiao Qiu, did you guys come this time just for the Longevity Pill?"

Xiao Qiu?

This address made Qiu Yingjie extremely angry.

He was about to get angry, but seeing the silver needle in Lin Yang's hand, he could only resign himself to sitting down.

He sighed and said, "We came to participate in the Xuánmén exchange meeting."

"It's just that we happened to hear about the Longevity Pill; my master took a liking to it and wants to buy two to take back for research."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang gave Ding Biao a look.

Ding Biao immediately took out a glass bottle containing exactly two Longevity Pills.

"Not too much, not too little—two pills, two billion."

"Remember to pay later."

Qiu Yingjie's mouth twitched; buying a Longevity Pill at one billion each would probably get him scolded to death.

But now, being under someone else's eaves, he has no choice but to lower his head.

He suppressed his anger and said to Lin Yang.

"Actually, we don't need two; one will do."

"No, I've already prepared two; how can I go back on my word?"

"You either choose to buy it now, or I'll make you buy it!"

Qiu Yingjie clenched his fists—this isn't forced buying and selling?

But he, taking a deep breath, could only endure it while pinching his nose.

"Fine, I'll buy it!"

"However, two billion isn't a small sum; I need to mobilize it from my family!"

Lin Yang turned his gaze to the old man beside him and said.

"Old man, you've lived for decades; surely you can't not come up with two billion?"

"Come on, cough up the money."

The old man known in Modu as the Laughing Daoist was now laughing in anger.

"You run around with two billion on you."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang countered.

"Is two billion a lot?"

The old man sneered, "Not much—why don't you take it out then?"

"If you can take it out, I'll immediately take out money to buy the pill."

Qiu Yingjie beside him, upon hearing that, instantly felt he could find an opportunity here.

Thus, he looked at Lin Yang smugly.

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang took out a bank card and said to Ding Biao.

"Let them see my balance."

Upon hearing that, Ding Biao immediately took out the prepared POS machine and swiped it.

Then he showed the two the number displayed on it.

Seeing the two's astonished faces, Lin Yang laughed.

"Two billion isn't much, right? Now you can pay, right?"

The Laughing Daoist's mouth twitched.

He never expected that someone would actually carry tens of billions on them!

Could it be that this guy isn't afraid of being robbed or stolen?

"Ding Biao, get the old man to pay; if he doesn't give the money, I'll cripple half of his cultivation!"

Upon hearing that, the Laughing Daoist immediately said.

"I really don't have that much money on me..."

Seeing Lin Yang look over, he immediately said.

"However, I can borrow money by phone."

"Then go borrow money by phone!"

After saying that, Lin Yang looked at Qiu Yingjie and asked.

"Do you know who else is coming to participate in this exchange meeting?"

Saying that, he flashed the two silver needles.

In that instant, it blocked Qiu Yingjie's words that he was about to say.

Then, taking a deep breath, he said to Lin Yang.

"The Zhang Clan of Modu, my family, and the Zuo Clan are all coming."

"Over in Yanjing, the Jiang Clan will also send someone."

Saying that, he fixed his gaze on Lin Yang.
