BXBX NOVEL Chapter 144 - 144: Gifts (Part 2)
It was an open provocation!
Most importantly, Qin Yuanqiang was right. In Jiangnan Province, the Qin family’s status and strength obviously eclipsed the Wu family!
The Qin family was on the rise, while the Wu family had fallen from grace.
The difference was obvious.
Before anyone could react, Qin Yuanqiang took out another brocade box.
lie opened the brocade box and revealed the ancient pill inside it.
Then, Qin Yuanqiang looked at the crowd and said, “This is a gift from the Qin family to Miss Xia. This pill is a Soul Tempering Pill. Anyone who has no foundation in cultivation will be able to reach the peak of the internal force realm after taking this pill!”
The crowd gasped.
“The Qin family is too generous.”
“It makes sense though. The Qin family is ranked among the top three martial arts families in Jiangnan Province.”
“Sigh, in recent years, the Wu family has produced too few geniuses, which caused the Wu family to gradually fall from grace. However, the Qin family is different. The Qin family has three geniuses, and Young Master Qin, who is engaged to Miss Xia, is a rare genius that only appears once in a hundred years. In the future, the gap between the two families will only grow bigger and bigger!”
“It seems that it is a wise choice for the Xia family to get close to the Qin family…”
The crowd was in a heated discussion as they cast envious gazes toward Xia Ruoxue.
Xia Ruoxue’s mother carefully accepted the two extremely valuable gifts, smiling from ear to ear.
“Although Young Master Qin didn’t come, his gifts are so thoughtful. I’ll definitely get Ruoxue to pay a visit in the future.”
“Ruoxue, why aren’t you thanking the Mr. Qin?”
However, Xia Ruoxue remained expressionless, and merely nodded to express her gratitude.
No matter how precious these two things were, she did not like them.
Qin Yuanqiang did not expect such a reaction. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes. However, he suddenly thought of something and shot a cold gaze at a certain young man below the stage.
“Didn’t someone just boast that nothing in Huaxia is as precious as his gift? Why hasn;t he mustered the courage to come up then?”
All eyes were now on Ye Chen!
Qin Yuanqiang’s hatred for Wu Xiangming was directed at Ye Chen. He wanted to embarrass Ye Chen!
Xia Ruoxue was not someone a piece of trash like him could touch!
Everyone suddenly felt sorry for Ye Chen. After the Qin family’s gifts were revealed, there was no longer any point in competing.
Wu Xiangming naturally would not allow others to target Mr. Ye like this. He quickly stood up and said, “Mr. Ye asked me to give her the Wu family token. Isn’t that enough?”
At this moment, Ye Chen stood up and walked toward Xia Ruoxue.
“Since everyone wants to see it so much, I won’t hide my gift.”
Ye Chen’s voice was filled with confidence and indifference.
Just as he was about to approach Xia Ruoxue, Qin Yuanqiang blocked Ye Chen’s path.
Ye Chen raised his head. His eagle-like sharp eyes stared daggers at Qin Yuanqiang, who suddenly felt as if his entire body was being pressed down by an invisible force!
He wanted to insult Ye Chen, but he swallowed his words and subconsciously took a few steps back to make way for him.
Ye Chen glanced at Xia Ruoxue’s mother, who was holding the pill carefully. A surge of his true qi swept out, and the pill landed in his hand.
Xia Ruoxue’s mother widened her eyes and asked nervously, “Ye Chen, what are you doing?”
Qin Yuanqiang was also agitated.
“How dare you snatch Young Master Qin’s gift for Miss Xia? You’re courting death!”
The audience was also shocked. Who would have thought that Ye Chen would be so bold as to directly snatch the treasure!
Then, as everyone watched in disbelief, something even stranger happened. Ye Chen threw the pill to the ground!
Then, he raised his right foot and stomped on it, turning it into a pile of powder. Then, a gust of his true qi scattered it into the air!
Everyone was stunned…
Ye Chen did not want to snatch the pill, but destroy it!
He was a f*cking lunatic!
Even a jealous person would not destroy something as valuable as that!
Xia Ruoxue’s mother’s face flushed red. She was about to say something when Ye Chen said something unimaginable.
“Ruoxue, you can’t eat this kind of expired pill. It will make your stomach uncomfortable. Come, come, come. You can choose any pill I have here!”
The next second, Ye Chen took out ten pills from his pocket.
Moreover, they were all medicinal pills with pill patterns!
A rich medicinal fragrance wafted out and filled the hall.
Xia Ruoxue’s mother’s flushed face turned pale. She looked at a certain old man beside her and asked, “Fu, are these pills real or fake?”
The old man stared at the ten pills and said with a trembling voice, “Madam… They appear to be reaL.The pills’ patterns are genuine and the medicinal fragrance is unmistakable. It should have been refined less than half a year ago. Also, although the medicinal pill that Mr. Qin gave Miss Xia just now had medicinal effects, it will indeed cause stomach discomfort upon consumption.”
“There are no alchemists in Jiangnan Province, and pills are extremely scarce. These freshly-refined pills are extremely precious…”
The old man’s words were undoubtedly a slap to Qin Yuanqiang’s face.
Almost all the ancient martial artists in Huaxia consumed pills that were past their expiry date, so freshly-refined pills like these were like priceless treasures.
F*ck!
In comparison, the gifts that the Qin family gave now seemed no better than a pile of dog sh*t!
The way Xia Ruoxue’s mother looked at Ye Chen had completely changed. She knew that Ye Chen was an ancient martial artist and that he was not weak, but these pills changed everything!
In addition to Wu Xiangming’s attitude toward him, could it be that there was an extremely terrifying expert or faction behind Ye Chen?
More terrifying than the Qin family?
Throughout the entire process, Xia Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with shock, but not excitement.
She was not interested in these things from the martial arts world at all. Otherwise, she would have started practicing ancient martial arts when she was young.
Ye Chen naturally noticed this. He smiled and placed the ten pills into Xia Ruoxue’s hands.
Then, he took out a carefully decorated brocade box from his pocket.
“Actually, the pills are just a casual gift. What I really want to give you is this. Open it and take a look. If you don’t like it, I’ll wash your and Sun Yi’s clothes for a year!”
Casual gift…
These two words were like a heavy punch, smashing everyone’s hearts into pieces!
Such precious pills were only casual gifts…
If so, then what was in that other box?
Everyone looked at Xia Ruoxue and Ye Chen unblinkingly, waiting for the big reveal with bated breath..
