Chapter 994: Master Zhen

In response to Bai Chen's question, the scholar showed no abnormal expression. Under his seemingly calm face, his palms actually trembled unavoidably.

Aware of this detail, Bai Chen took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Scholar, my brother Hua, although you are resourceful, but unfortunately your emotional intelligence is not very good. If things like relationships continue, sooner or later things will change. .”

"Ha." The scholar smiled and raised his eyes and asked: "Sect Master, why do you sound like you are trying to make a fool of yourself?"

"Well……"

Tang Qin?

Hearing the implications of the scholar's words, Bai Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He had expressed his feelings to Tang Qin several times, but the girl always kept a distance from him.

How can this make him progress? You can't just throw it down.

Touching his mustache, the scholar pondered for a moment and said: "Nowadays, Guixue Town and Guixue Villa are no longer what they used to be. The Situ family, as the head of the town, is actually oppressed by a gang called the Potian Gang. The Potian Gang can The tyranny in Guixue Town relies solely on the fact that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. As for Juemeng Hall, it seems that it also has unusual dealings with the Potian Gang. Sect Master, we are new here, do you want to deal with the Potian Gang? "

"Dealing?" Bai Chen understood the meaning of the scholar's words. Dealing with the Potian Gang was nothing more than sending some gifts and currying favor.

Although he wanted to keep a low profile, it was only in the general environment of the Xiuyun Empire. As for this remote town, he had not yet thought of flattering a gang that oppressed the people.

"No need." Bai Chen smiled lightly.

Hearing this, the scholar looked slightly solemn: "However, as far as I know, although the Potian Gang specializes in doing some dirty things, it is so powerful that even some powerful sects do not dare to provoke it easily. Maybe , their strength is stronger than our Fengyan Dynasty’s Tianhai Sect and other sects, if we have a conflict with them, our strength will inevitably be exposed.”

"Don't worry, the Xiuyun Empire's overall strength is far stronger than that of the Fengyan Dynasty and Tianhai Sect. Put it in this country, it is nothing."

Bai Chen didn't want the scholar to keep comparing the Fengyan Dynasty with the Fengyan Dynasty. The powerful forces here were definitely beyond the reach of the Fengyan Dynasty.

It is because of this that Bai Chen wants to take everyone out to explore and develop stronger people in a stronger environment.

After everything was explained clearly, Bai Chen resumed his role as "butler", stood up and bowed his hands to the scholar, and then exited the room.

…

The next day.

Bai Chen took Jing Yuan and Hong Lian to Buzhuang early in the morning.

As the main industry of the Bai family, Buzhuang must expand smoothly.

Along the way, pedestrians' eyes secretly glanced at Bai Chen and the others from time to time. Just the temperaments of Jing Yuan and Hong Lian attracted people's attention. What's more, Bai Chen also had a delicate face that brought disaster to the country and the people. Countless women in Guixue Town were stunned when they saw this.

"Butler Bai, this is our cloth shop." Jing Yuan walked to a crossroads and pointed to a shop next to it.

Looking up at the four characters "Jinxiu Cloth Village", Bai Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is located at the intersection. There is a lot of passenger traffic here. It is a good place."

"We also spent a huge amount of money to buy this from the previous owner. It was a calligraphy and painting workshop before." Honglian approached and whispered.

"Oh." Bai Chen responded lightly and took the lead to walk towards Jinxiu Cloth Village.

There were all strangers inside, and the shopkeeper was hired by them with money. When the shopkeeper saw Jing Yuan, he quickly stopped what he was doing and raised his hands to Jing Yuan: "Steward, you are here."

As he spoke, he noticed that the young man in black robe in front of Guanshi Jing had an extraordinary temperament, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Excuse me, who is this?"

"This is Butler Bai, the manager of our Bai Mansion."

"Oh my! Hello, Butler Bai!" The shopkeeper had no idea that such a young man was actually the chief steward of the Bai Mansion.

When he handed it over for editing, in an instant, both Bai Chen and Honglian saw clearly that there was a bruise on the tiger's mouth of the shopkeeper's left hand.

"What happened to your hand?" Honglian raised her slender eyebrows.

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper broke out in cold sweat and retracted his palm angrily with an unnatural expression.

"What happened?" Jing Yuan was also surprised: "Our store has such a good location, but we haven't seen a single customer since we arrived here. Why?"

Jing Yuan's words made those guys tremble and lower their heads.

It looked like they were scared.

"That, that..." The shopkeeper flicked his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He glanced secretly outside the door and saw that no one was paying attention. Then he whispered: "Butler Bai, Master Zhen spoke yesterday, let's let's let's... "

"What do you mean, tell me quickly!" At this time, the tall and round Fatty Guo also walked over from the door. Looking at his angry look, it was obvious that he had heard something.

"Fat man, don't scare the shopkeeper." Bai Chen shook his head speechlessly, then looked at the livid shopkeeper, and smiled happily: "Don't be afraid, what does the so-called Master Zhen want us to do?"

"Zhen Zhen, Master Zhen said that the head of the Bai family should go to him in person and pay the filial piety fee, and then we can officially open our business. Otherwise, we won't let others come here to buy things."

"What!"

Fatty Guo was furious.

In this quiet town, there are actually people who are so arrogant. Is the Xiuyun Empire really so awesome?

Bai Chen was speechless, grabbed Fatty Guo, and then stepped on him hard.

With this kick, the red-faced Fatty Guo instantly regained his composure and quickly admitted his mistake.

Lifting the soles of his feet, Bai Chen calmly looked at the confused shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Who is that Master Zhen?"

Bai Chen's words made several guys completely dumbfounded.

Is there anyone in Guixue Town who doesn't know Master Zhen?

The guys didn't understand, but the shopkeeper knew clearly. He had long seen that Bai Chen and the others were not locals, so he sighed: "Hey, Master Zhen's real name is Zhen Quede. He is the steward of the Potian Gang and is responsible for collecting filial piety fees. , everyone must obtain his consent before doing business.”

"Zhen Quede?"

Fatty Guo almost laughed. When his father gave him this name, didn't he read it twice?

"Potian Gang..."

Bai Chen took a deep breath, and a deep smile appeared in his calm eyes.

He didn't want to mess with the Potian Gang, but the other party wanted to bump into him.

It seems that it is impossible not to meet them.
