I stepped forward and said, "Feng Ruoxing, forget it. Now that we're here, let's just take the business."

"But…" Feng Ruoxing hesitated before saying, "Alright then! I'll handle this."

Sorcerers also have their own territories. They can cross boundaries to do business, but they can't cross boundaries to steal business.

If we were crossing boundaries to do business, we would pay our respects, treat the local bigwig to a drink, and share some of the profits. Everyone would be happy. But if you want to steal business, that's a different story, full of clashing swords and flashing blades.

Without another word, Feng Ruoxing set up a table of wine at the meeting place and invited the eight most senior gentlemen from the provincial capital.

The eight people came, but their faces were darker than the bottom of a pot. Someone sat down and immediately said, "If you're here to steal business, you should at least announce your names, right? So we know which great masters have come to enlighten us!"

Feng Ruoxing was about to speak, but I gave Ye Yang a look. The latter stood up to find a waiter, while I sat in my seat and responded faintly, "My name is Li Po, the hall master of the Shengjing Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall)."

"Liangjie Tang?" Someone scoffed, "Forgive my ignorance, but I've never heard of it. Let me tell you…"

Before that person could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the person next to him, who waved his hand and said, "So, it's the number one expert in Liaodong! My respects, my respects…"

Although the man said "my respects," there wasn't a hint of "respect" in his expression.

This title of "number one expert in Liaodong" was a fabrication by Lao Liu and Yue Hailou, and I felt it was completely unnecessary.

Of the so-called experts in the martial world, eight out of ten are puffed up, and only two have earned their reputations through real fighting. You have to take worldly titles with a grain of salt!

However, Lao Liu said that this was called creating momentum, and it was essential.

When I heard the other party say "number one expert in Liaodong," my face flushed slightly.

The other party's gaze towards me became even more disdainful, "Since you've come to teach us how to do business, shouldn't you show us your skills first and open our eyes?"

Seeing that my expression was not right, Feng Ruoxing quickly smoothed things over, "Let's eat first. We'll talk while we eat. Bring on the food!"

As Feng Ruoxing called for the food to be served, Ye Yang came in first and removed all the chopsticks from the table, replacing them with a knife for each person.

I took the dishes from the waiter, holding a plate in one hand and drawing Bai Zhou (Daybreak) in the other. I used the knife to serve them vegetables into their bowls one by one. "I'll divide it for you, so you don't fight over the dishes."

The eight gentlemen didn't react at first, but after serving two of them, someone overturned the table on the spot.

As the table flipped, the plate in my left hand immediately smashed into the other party's head, and my right hand slashed twice, knocking the person in the lead to the ground.

Ye Yang's sword also forced the remaining five people into the corner.

I raised my foot and stepped on the head of their leader, pointing the knife at their noses and yelling, "Listen up, I'm not interested in that dog food you're fighting over, and I have no intention of teaching you how to do business."

"If I wasn't afraid that my friend would waste his money, I wouldn't have bothered to come even if you begged me."

"I'll leave as soon as this business is done. If anyone dares to cause trouble for me, I'll pay for their funeral banquet, and you'll be the guests of honor."

Although a knife was waving in front of his eyes, the person I was stepping on didn't give in. "Kid, don't be too arrogant. Just because we can't beat you doesn't mean there's no one in the provincial capital who can deal with you."

I sneered, "If you were capable, my friend wouldn't have sought help from thousands of miles away."

That person also responded coldly, "What business can't we handle?"

Zhao Ci, who hadn't spoken all along, suddenly said, "Chasing Bai Xin (White Heart)!"

Now, whether they were injured or not, all eight gentlemen fell silent. Only the person I was stepping on said, "Chasing Bai Xin, we can't do it, but you can?"

I said coldly, "If I can't do the business, I'll break my own legs and crawl out of the provincial capital."

"If the business is done, no matter who the gentlemen of your provincial capital are, they'll have to call me senior when they see me. Do you dare to bet?"

I challenged them with my knife. If the eight gentlemen in the provincial capital were challenged by a young punk like me, they wouldn't be able to make a living in the provincial capital anymore.

Moreover, I was still stepping on someone, so he had no choice but to agree.

The person under my feet said in a deep voice, "Alright! If you can pull off the Chasing Bai Xin deal, we'll not only call you senior, but the eight of us will also carry you out of the provincial capital in a sedan chair. We won't go back on our word."

I sheathed my knife, pulled the person up, and gave him a three-slap agreement to send him out.

I thought I had handled things beautifully, but Feng Ruoxing was furious with me. "Big brother, can you not offend people everywhere you go?"

"Can't you be a little sweeter, a little faster, and get things done peacefully? You just knocked down three people right away. How can they not hold a grudge?"

Be sweeter?

I don't even coax girls, why would I coax a few old geezers?

I was about to speak when Ye Yang poked me in the back.
