Tian Yao said unhappily: "Friend Daoist Jiang, since An Keqing is from my Lianyue Palace, Lianyue Palace will naturally vouch for her.
When you say that, do you mean you don’t believe Lianyue Palace?”
The monk surnamed Jiang said: "It's not that I don't believe it, but in these extraordinary times, I must be cautious about people of unknown origin."
Tian Yao said: "What extraordinary period?"
The monk surnamed Jiang said: "Yesterday, two of my disciples went to the secular world to do business, and they were secretly targeted and almost injured.
Therefore, the master suspected that someone was trying to do harm to Wuqingshan, and ordered us to strictly check the monks we are not familiar with.
Originally, I couldn't let An Keqing enter the trading market, but for the sake of Lianyue Palace, I just took one more Qi Gathering Pill."
Tian Yao thought to herself: "Why are you looking at Lian Yue Palace's face? You just want to use some excuse to blackmail me, right?"
But her purpose was to bring Chen Hao into the trading market, and she didn't want to dwell on it anymore, and said, "Okay, I'll give you another one."
Tian Yao took out the white porcelain bottle, poured out another Qi Gathering Pill, and handed it to the monk named Jiang: "Can we go in now?"
The monk surnamed Jiang weighed the Qi Gathering Pill with his hand and showed a sly smile: "I can let you in, but I am alone, so it doesn't matter."
Tian Yao's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
"It means that Jiang Chao is not the only one guarding here, but also me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man with a Chinese character and a face walked out of the arch.
Due to the isolation and restriction, Tian Yao's face suddenly became ugly as if he was walking out of translucent water.
This big man with a Chinese character and a face was none other than Wang Xinglong, the Wuqingshan monk who had a quarrel with her in the Yinglin Ball that day.
If this guy shows up suddenly, nothing good will happen.
Wang Xinglong glanced at Chen Hao, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Brother Tian, Junior Brother Jiang also said just now that these are extraordinary times, so our Qingqing Mountain has also strengthened the vigilance in the Trading Place City.
But we are old acquaintances. If you want me to agree to enter the trading market, it is not impossible, but look at this..." He stretched out his right hand and rubbed it quickly with his thumb and middle finger.
Tian Yao was furious: "The head fee in the exchange market is one Qi Gathering Pill per person. You are extorting money."
Wang Xinglong said: "Fellow Daoist Tian, you can't say that.
As I said, these are extraordinary times, so there will definitely be some changes to the rules of the trading market.
Besides, we don’t force you to pay. If you think it’s unreasonable, you don’t have to participate.”
Jiang Chao smiled and agreed: "Yes, you can definitely go home."
Tian Yao said angrily: "I don't believe you do this to other sects. I want to see the senior foundation builders of Qingqing Mountain to complain against you!"
Wang Xinglong sneered and said: "You can meet the elders of my sect just by asking?
Do you deserve it?
If you want to see me, it's not impossible, just ask your master to come.
But I can tell you responsibly that the fees we charge are approved by the elders of the master, so even if your master comes, it will be in vain."
"You..." Tian Yao was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Tian Yao, don't be angry."
Chen Haodao took out a medicine bottle from the Nine-turn Exquisite Tower, poured out two Qi Gathering Pills, and handed them to Wang Xinglong: "Is it okay this time?"
He had plenty of Qi Gathering Pills, so there was no need to get entangled with these brats just because of them. It was more serious to send them away quickly and enter the trading market.
Wang Xinglong did not reach out to pick it up, but said arrogantly: "Who told you it's okay?
Two is the number just now, I want this!"
He stretched out a palm and waved it in front of Chen Hao.
Tian Yao couldn't bear it anymore: "Wang Xinglong, you are too open-minded. Are you shameless?"
"Do you think I'm a lion and talk too much?"
Wang Xinglong sneered, turned his palm over and waved it again: "Then double it!"
Tian Yao's face turned pale.
Chen Hao shook his head at her, then poured out eight Qi Gathering Pills from the medicine bottle, plus the original two pills, and handed them to Wang Xinglong.
Wang Xinglong put it away unceremoniously and said with a smile: "Young Daoist An is really rich, but you can't favor one over the other. I got ten Qi Gathering Pills, and my junior brother only got two. It's not fair."
Jiang Chao echoed: "That's right. In fact, after deducting the head fee, I only got one Qi Gathering Pill. It's too pitiful."
With that said, he stretched out his hand to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao didn't say anything. He poured out nine Qi Gathering Pills again and handed them to Jiang Chao: "Is it ready?"
Wang Xinglong and Jiang Chao looked at each other and suddenly laughed loudly.
"Fellow Daoist An, the two of us can let you in, but the ones responsible for guarding the trading market are our other sect members."
Wang Xinglong said with a grimace.
"Haha, Senior Brother Wang is still kind and thinks of us."
"Thank you two Taoist friends from Lianyue Palace for their hard work in sending us extra money!"
"You are so kind-hearted. You know I am in urgent need of Qi Gathering Pills recently."
... After the words fell, one figure after another came out of the arch, all Qi Refining Stage disciples of Qingqingshan. They looked at Chen Hao and Tian Yao, laughing and joking.
Tian Yao was shocked and angry.
Is this a collective extortion because Chen Hao is rich?
When did Wuqingshan become so shameless? Chen Hao was not angry, but sighed inwardly.
What Qingqingshan did was no longer malicious blackmail, but deliberate targeting.
It seems that Qingqingshan has guessed that Tian Yao and Jiang Xiaoke took action to rescue Xu Qingyi.
I guess I won’t be able to participate in this trading market.
Thinking of this, Chen Hao said: "Fellow Daoist Wang, we will no longer participate in the trading market. Please return the Qi Gathering Pill to us."
Wang Xinglong was not surprised. He had obviously expected that Chen Hao would say this, and said with regret: "That's such a pity. Fellow Daoist An and Daoist Tian will leave slowly, so we won't send them off."
After saying that, he had no intention of returning the Qi Gathering Pill.
Tian Yao's face was as cold as frost: "An Keqing asked you to return the Qi Gathering Pill to us, didn't you hear?"
Wang Xinglong looked surprised: "Qi Gathering Pill?
What Qi Gathering Pill?
You didn't participate in the trading market, so how could you pay for the Qi Gathering Pill?"
Tian Yao was furious: "Wang Xinglong, do you want to cheat?"
Wang Xinglong called Qu Dao: "Fellow Daoist Tian, are you not mistaken? How could we, a famous sect in Qingqing Mountain, cheat on your Qi Gathering Pill?"
He turned back to look at his fellow disciples: "Did you see me collecting the Qi Gathering Pills from the two fellow Taoists from Lianyue Palace?"
All the disciples laughed in unison: "No!"
Wang Xinglong turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, Daoist An, did you hear that?
You cannot frame people casually. Although our monks from Wuqingshan are approachable and peace-loving, we will not be wronged for no reason.
Otherwise, if word gets out, wouldn't it mean that I, Wu Qingshan, am extorting money and being despicable?
You must speak clearly today, otherwise we will definitely seek justice from you."
"That's right, if you can't produce evidence, you must apologize!"
The Qingqing Mountain disciples sneered and surrounded Chen Hao and Tian Yao.
