Chapter 100 Persistent

Damn it, are they haunting me? They won't stop until they reach their goal?

Zhang Yuanqing grimaced inwardly, feeling helpless. He put on a polite and gentle smile and said, "Mr. Xiahou, is there anything else?"

Xiahou Xin sat upright, tilted his head slightly, looked at Zhang Yuanqing by the roadside, and said gently: "There were some things we couldn't discuss at the Security Department just now. If you are willing to help lure out Wang Qian, I will give you a piece of equipment as a thank you gift. In addition, the Xiahou family has a certain influence in the Five Elements Alliance. You have good abilities. With the help of the Xiahou family, you will surely have a meteoric rise."

Xiahou Tianyuan, who was beside him, leaned lazily on the leather seat, playing with his mobile phone, without the arrogance and irritability he had in the office.

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment before he realized that the father and son had only made requests without mentioning any rewards in the Security Department because they didn't want to discuss things there at all.

Was it because Ya and Li Dongze were there, so they were just testing the waters? Now they are offering to exchange equipment, trying to create a contrast to surprise me… he muttered in his heart.

"Mr. Xiahou, don't make things difficult for a small person like me. The attitude of the Squad Leader is my attitude. I can't afford to offend the Zhisha Palace," Zhang Yuanqing refused.

Xiahou Xin looked at him with an unchanging gaze and said slowly, "Two pieces!"

As expected of a family of "Scholars", they are really rich… Zhang Yuanqing sighed inwardly. The Xiahou family's occupation is "Scholar". High-level Scholars control the skills to create equipment, like blacksmiths in a game.

Although the creation of a piece of equipment is limited by factors such as materials and skills, making it very costly, the Xiahou family, who controls the forging skills, has advantages that other forces cannot match.

That's why they can stand tall and their roots can extend into the Taiyi Sect and the Five Elements Alliance.

"Sorry!"

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head and prepared to leave, pushing his bicycle.

The next moment, the wheel seemed to be stuck by something. He looked down and saw verdant vines emerging from the ground of the bicycle path, wrapping around the wheels like chains.

Xiahou Xin said indifferently, "Tianyuan, get his phone."

Xiahou Tianyuan's mouth twitched, he pushed open the car door, and placed a dreamy crystal ball on the roof of the car.

In an instant, Zhang Yuanqing felt an invisible film enveloped the surroundings, distorting the vehicles and pedestrians outside, and isolating the outside sounds.

His expression changed slightly: "You…"

This is too overbearing.

Xiahou Tianyuan licked his lips, walked over slowly, and said with a grin: "Yuanshi Tianzun, I heard that you cleared two S-level Spirit Realms and were praised as a genius by the official Spirit Envoys. It so happens that I am petty and can't tolerate anyone. I like beating up geniuses the most."

As soon as he finished speaking, flames burst out from his shoes, and he rushed over like an arrow with afterimages.

Too fast. Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Pa pa pa… the fierce continuous kicks were like whips, hitting Zhang Yuanqing's arms one after another, turning his sleeves into ashes and scorching his forearms.

Level 3? Zhang Yuanqing's heart tightened. After blocking the first wave of fierce attacks, he unhesitatingly used Night Wanderer and entered stealth.

His figure disappeared instantly, as if erased.

Xiahou Tianyuan stood proudly in place, his feet burning with flames, like stepping on wheels of wind and fire, his eyes sharply scanning the surroundings.

Suddenly, he saw the film on the left side of the "barrier" being hit hard, rippling with water-like patterns.

Xiahou Tianyuan darted over and kicked out a rolling figure with his right leg, using his left foot as an axis.

It was Zhang Yuanqing.

Xiahou Tianyuan grabbed a pair of dark golden shackles from his inventory in the void and shook his hand to throw them out.

"Ka ka" The shackles attached to Zhang Yuanqing's ankles and automatically locked.

Seeing this, Xiahou Tianyuan's mouth twitched, but in the next moment, Zhang Yuanqing's body disappeared like a shattered reflection.

Illusion!

"Bang!"

Xiahou Tianyuan immediately heard a shattering sound. He saw a figure outlined not far away, stomping the phone into pieces with his feet.

Seeing this scene, Xiahou Tianyuan's eyebrows furrowed.

This bastard kid, would rather use this method than compromise with the Xiahou family?

Zhang Yuanqing let out a breath and said expressionlessly:

"If this continues, it will be a fight to the death."

Feeling the temperature of the blazing flames under his feet, Xiahou Tianyuan's temper was even more explosive than usual: "You're courting death!"

"Enough!" Xiahou Xin in the car glanced at the crushed mobile phone and said lightly, "Tianyuan, come back."

He stared at Zhang Yuanqing with deep eyes and said apologetically: "My son is belligerent, please don't take offense."

Xiahou Tianyuan's forehead bulged with veins. After a struggle, he suppressed his increasingly fierce emotions and "extinguished" the flames on his shoes.

He instantly returned to his lazy posture, completely different from the fiery one just now.

"Not bad, you're tough. It was quite fun beating you up."

Xiahou Tianyuan chuckled, returned to the black car, put away the crystal ball on the roof, and got into the car.

The black car sped away and merged into the traffic. Xiahou Tianyuan stuck his head out of the car window and made a neck-cutting gesture to the kid behind him.

"Dad, this kid is quite strong, he's a talent," he said lazily, lying on the leather seat, "When did a bottom-level staff dare to disregard our Xiahou family? Tsk, it feels so fulfilling to crush such a tough bone."

"You can use family connections to suppress him and play him to death within the rules, but don't do stupid things. He has meritorious service," Xiahou Xin said lightly.

That young man has meritorious service. Small fights are okay, and the Five Elements Alliance will at most hold them accountable. But if they injure or kill him, the White Tiger Garrison will not let it go.

Killing an official Spirit Envoy with meritorious service is equivalent to tearing up the relationship with the Five Elements Alliance. The nature is much more serious than affecting ordinary people.

Therefore, Xiahou Xin stopped the matter after the young man crushed the phone.

"I understand!" Xiahou Tianyuan smiled coldly.

"Let's focus on the other members of the Zhisha Palace," Xiahou Xin's face was gloomy: "That woman extracted too many secrets from your elder brother. She must be eliminated. No matter what, we must get rid of her this time."

Xiahou Tianyuan complained: "Elder brother is a useless guy. He can't walk when he sees a woman. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be so passive."

At this time, Xiahou Xin noticed bloodstains on his son's ankle and frowned:

"Are you injured?"

Xiahou Tianyuan was stunned and looked down, only to find that his ankle was scratched.

"It's okay, a minor problem." He said indifferently.

........

"The Xiahou family is too overbearing, right? Just for a Wang Qian, they're making such a big fuss? Anyone who doesn't know the situation would think I'm having an affair with the Palace Master of Zhisha Palace."

Zhang Yuanqing watched the black car disappear from his sight, withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help complaining.

He looked down at the hideous burns on his forearms, and his face also turned gloomy.

The Xiahou family wouldn't dare to kill him, unless they wanted to start a war with the Five Elements Alliance. If a member with meritorious service died at the hands of a Spirit Realm family, the Five Elements Alliance would definitely make the Xiahou family pay with blood. No matter how strong their connections were, it wouldn't work.

Otherwise, how could they convince the public? What would the low- and middle-level official Spirit Envoys think?

Therefore, Zhang Yuanqing decisively destroyed the phone and ended the conflict.

But that doesn't mean it's over.

The Xiahou family is too overbearing. First they tried to lure him with benefits, and when that didn't work, they directly attacked.

If he didn't have meritorious service and was just an ordinary bottom-level member, would the Xiahou family have stopped there?

And even for him, judging from the behavior of the Xiahou family's father and son, they would most likely retaliate in secret later.

Zhang Yuanqing took out a tissue, wiped off the little bit of blood from his fingernails, carefully folded it up, put it in his pocket, and muttered in a low voice:

"There won't be a next time."
