"Looks like there's so trouble..."
Although he knew the Green Gang certainly had experts, he didn't expect an expert to appear so quickly, and a Grandmaster-level expert at that. It was really quite a conundrum.
Even though Qin Fang was quite confident beforehand, he couldn't help but furrow his brows now.
However, the situation had already reached this point, and regrets were useless. The opponent was already at the door, and he had no choice but to brace himself and face it.
The two sides collided in the center of the hall...
On Qin Fang's side, it was just him and Chu Yunxuan, while on the Green Gang's side, it was Ah Hu and his apprentice Alai, making it a two-on-two in terms of numbers.
But in terms of strength, the gap was truly vast...
Qin Fang facing Alai was a sure defeat... Chu Yunxuan facing Ah Hu was also a sure defeat!
However, neither side made a move directly; they stood facing each other, maintaining a stance of confrontation.
Elder Alai stood quietly there, looking like an old man past his pri, seemingly so frail that a gust of wind could blow him over...
But the flicker of clarity in his otherwise cloudy eyes, along with his concealed yet powerful aura, revealed his extraordinary cultivation.
Of course, Qin Fang wasn't willing to be outdone either, squaring his shoulders. Even facing such a Grandmaster-level expert, he stood tall, with not the slightest hint of relief.
"Young man, your strength is indeed impressive..."
This eye contact lasted for a few minutes before ending. The elder withdrew his gaze, returning to an ordinary deanor, and looked at Qin Fang with a tone full of admiration.
"Thank you for your praise, elder!"
Qin Fang responded quite politely, imdiately thanking him respectfully.
This elder, both in age and strength, was undoubtedly considered a senior to Qin Fang. Regardless of what relationship they might be in, the necessary respect was still due.
Though he was polite on the surface, Qin Fang internally grew more vigilant, vaguely feeling the opponent wasn't rely simple.
Indeed...
After a simple exchange of courtesies, Elder Alai revealed his true intentions!
"However, your actions this ti have deeply touched the bottom line of the Green Gang, even I cannot easily let you off..."
With an expressionless face, Elder Alai spoke in a tone that was quite calm.
Yet, within that calm tone, there was an intense sense of murderous intent...
Qin Fang forcefully invading Drunken River South was already breaking the Green Gang's taboo. Even if there were excuses, it was still sothing the Green Gang couldn't tolerate.
Mistakes the Green Gang could acknowledge, but losing face was unacceptable...
Moreover, Qin Fang had forcibly detained the Green Gang's young master, Kui Mingyu, today, tying him up and letting so many people witness it, which was even more humiliating for the Green Gang...
"Since the elder has spoken, please lay out your challenge, and I'll take it on as best I can..."
Qin Fang knew that today's matter wouldn't end simply, especially with the Green Gang having such experts in their ranks.
However, Qin Fang couldn't let his aura weaken, so he boldly expressed.
"Good, very courageous!"
Hearing this, Elder Alai couldn't help but praise, admiring Qin Fang's boldness.
After all, a Master Level expert facing a Grandmaster-level expert was an incomparable situation, yet Qin Fang dared to take it on. Such courage indeed made many heroes feel ashad by comparison.
"Since Young Master Qin put it this way, I won't waste words with you... Here's the deal, I will strike three tis. If you can endure without dying, then our grievances will be considered settled..."
Elder Alai was quite straightforward, seemingly not wanting to speak unnecessary words, directly laying out his terms!
The condition seed simple and fair, even Chu Yunxuan on the side thought it seed too easy.
Indeed, with Elder Alai appearing frail, he didn't seem like a formidable expert, naturally making it seem easy...
But only Qin Fang knew that with Elder Alai's Grandmaster-level cultivation, if truly given three opportunities to strike, even a single hit could severely injure him... or even cost him his life!
"No way..."
Without thinking, Qin Fang imdiately refused.
"Hmm?"
Elder Alai was slightly taken aback, clearly surprised by Qin Fang's answer.
Qin Fang had been very strong-willed since arriving, yet surprisingly softened at the end, which left him sowhat disappointed.
"Your condition is too unfavorable for ... Why should you get all the benefits, and I get none at all? Unless..."
But Qin Fang disregarded the elder's confusion, instead expressing his dissatisfaction straightforwardly.
"Unless what?"
Elder Alai was taken aback but could hear sothing and imdiately inquired.
"It's simple... if I win, besides settling the grievances, your Green Gang must agree to one condition of mine..."
Qin Fang proposed with a smile.
"Hmm? What condition?"
Elder Alai was also dumbfounded. It was clear he didn't expect Qin Fang to be fixated on this issue, making his expression a bit unnatural.
Nevertheless, he steadied his emotions and asked calmly.
"I haven't thought of it yet, but it's nothing your Green Gang can't manage..."
Qin Fang shook his head, adopting a quite rogue attitude, clearly intending to negotiate.
"You..."
Elder Alai was taken aback, finding it both amusing and bewildering, not understanding what Qin Fang was up to.
But Elder Alai pondered slightly, seemingly considering the feasibility of Qin Fang's condition, and briefly fell silent.
"Alright, if it's nothing that threatens the Green Gang's interests, I can represent the Green Gang in agreeing to your condition..."
After a while, Elder Alai nodded in agreent.
Of course, so necessary restrictions had to be in place; he couldn't agree to just anything. If it threatened the Green Gang's interests, denying it later wouldn't be unthinkable.
"Deal..."
However, Qin Fang didn't mind these, as all he wanted was a promise, which was enough!
"I've agreed to the condition, so we can begin now..."
Having agreed on the condition, it was naturally ti to start, but Elder Alai couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm truly curious to see what you have up your sleeve to agree to such a condition..."
"You'll find out soon enough, elder..."
Qin Fang grinned as well, then had Chu Yunxuan, Wu Tang, and the others step aside to a safe distance. After all, the confrontation between him and Elder Alai might be intense, with a significant area of effect, and he didn't want to harm any bystanders.
Ah Hu also retreated to a distance on his own, confident in his ability to protect himself but still retreating as protocol demanded.
"Please..."
Standing firm with Elder Alai, Qin Fang courteously gestured to Elder Alai.
The elder would attack, while Qin Fang focused on defense, so naturally, the elder made the first move...
"Young man, be careful now..."
The elder chuckled, then slightly moved his body, appearing frail but instantly becoming incredibly agile with astonishing speed, accompanied by imnse power, charging towards Qin Fang...
This attack was as fierce as lightning and extrely vigorous!
It was hard to believe that such terrifying strength could be possessed by a seemingly frail old man, leaving Chu Yunxuan, Wu Tang, and others at a distance utterly stunned...
Even more shocked than Qin Fang's ability to defeat five Green Gang disciples with just a teacup... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to co to Qidian (qidian) to cast recomndation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
