Chapter 386: Extortion
Chapter 386: Extortion
"Our Ye Family never resorts to cheating! Don’t compare me to you; I’m not a scoundrel like you."
Ye Shanhe took a deep breath to calm down: "Here is my auxiliary black card with a limit of five hundred million..."
"Are you trying to fob off a beggar with that? What I want are herbs, five-hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and at least two truckloads of ginseng!"
"Also, I want fifty Tricolor Lingyin Grass. If there’s one less, I won’t let this go!"
Chen Xiaobei was very disdainful.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hongchun showed a trace of a relieved smile.
She currently requires the Tricolor Lingyin Grass to recover her strength, and Chen Xiaobei’s concern touched her deeply.
"Are you fleecing someone? Two truckloads of herbs, you couldn’t afford it even with ten lives!"
Ye Shanhe was extremely angry. Hundred-year-old herbs are easy to find, but five-hundred-year-old ones are rare treasures.
Two truckloads of five-hundred-year-old herbs would be considered precious even for the Earthly Sect; how could they give them to Chen Xiaobei!
The spectators watching the live stream all gasped upon hearing Chen Xiaobei’s demands; he’s asking for the moon, his appetite too big.
"So poor yet dares to call themselves a family; it’s simply an insult to the name..."
Chen Xiaobei sneered.
He only asked for two trucks, yet Ye Shanhe reacted so strongly. By his standard, it seems the Ye Family’s level is too low, not worthy of being called a family.
"Forget it, give me a few dozen randomly."
"At most five, no more!"
Ye Shanhe gritted his teeth and said.
"At least ten, if you don’t agree, it doesn’t matter; I’ll give you a beating and leave some scars."
Ye Shanhe’s complexion changed slightly upon hearing this. If anyone else said these words, he would dismiss them. After all, daring to lay a hand on a core figure of the Ye Family would have very severe consequences.
But he believed that Chen Xiaobei could definitely do it...
He gritted his teeth and said: "Ten it is! I’ll send them to you when I return..."
"That’s better."
Chen Xiaobei finally felt satisfied and wasn’t worried about Ye Shanhe going back on his word. In front of so many viewers on the live stream, Ye Shanhe and the Ye Family couldn’t afford to lose face.
If the Ye Family’s credit were ruined over ten herbs, Ye Shanhe would face family reproach.
Ye Shanhe painfully made a promise and turned to leave immediately.
Then, a voice sounded from behind again...
"Wait, I want something else..."
"Are you done yet?" Ye Shanhe said angrily.
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly: "Don’t worry, I don’t want anything else, just the Ye Family’s pass token."
As the words fell, everyone was dumbfounded, gazing incredulously at Chen Xiaobei.
Just now, Jiang Hongchun said that only those below Grandmaster level could enter Songshan.
If Chen Xiaobei wasn’t lacking in brains, he should hide in Songshan and never come out, as the outside world is extremely dangerous for him.
He wants the Ye Family’s pass token, intending to go to the Ye Family?
Isn’t that walking into a trap!
Ye Shanhe was stunned, looking incredulously: "What did you say?"
"Why, are you scared?" Chen Xiaobei said with a smirk.
"Why should I be scared? I’m just afraid you won’t dare to come!"
Ye Shanhe sneered coldly and without hesitation took out a token from his pocket and threw it directly to Chen Xiaobei.
He looked at Chen Xiaobei ominously and said: "I’ll be waiting for you at the Ye Family!"
With the words, he turned and left under Elder Ming’s protection, while He Yongkun struggled to help the heavily injured Zhao Qingshan.
As for Iron Fist Ancestor and the corpse of the ghoul jackal, they were just left unattended on the battlefield.
Chen Xiaobei took a look at the token which was engraved with dragons and phoenixes, and in the middle, a character ’Lu’ was carved. He was quite satisfied and looked at Ye Shanhe meaningfully and smiled:
"Rest assured, I will go."
In the future, he must go to the Ye Family to explore the secrets of the Military Saint’s legacy. Having a pass token will undoubtedly make his actions much more convenient.
However, by then, Ye Shanhe might regret giving him this token.
"Simply embarrassing the Four Families, being robbed by such a person..."
Qin Zhengyang looked at Ye Shanhe’s departing figure, shaking his head disdainfully.
Chen Xiaobei heard the voice and gave him a sideways glance: "I wasn’t talking about him, was I? You’re the same, you owe me ten Tricolor Lingyin Grass!"
Qin Zhengyang was stunned by these words and his face turned angry: "On what basis! I didn’t send anyone to fight you!"
"You didn’t fight, but you watched!" Chen Xiaobei rolled his eyes and said: "Watching me fight without paying? Did you think I’d perform for free?"
"Enough nonsense, hand over the ticket fee!"
Qin Zhengyang was speechless, completely shocked by Chen Xiaobei’s shamelessness; he’s dead set on squeezing a lot out of these two!
"What? You’re not willing?"
Chen Xiaobei eyed him with an unpleasant expression, then turned his gaze to Qin Shihua: "If you don’t want to give the herbs, it’s fine; I see your daughter is quite delectable..."
This frightened Qin Shihua, her face turning pale, and she hurriedly said to Qin Zhengyang: "He’s just a beast; he acts without regard, Father..."
Qin Zhengyang raised his hand to stop her from continuing, then looked solemnly at Chen Xiaobei and said: "Aren’t you afraid of choking yourself?"
"Don’t worry, my appetite is quite big..."
Chen Xiaobei said with a faint smile.
Qin Zhengyang gritted his teeth and said: "In three days, the herbs will be delivered to your home; whether you can take this batch of herbs will depend on your skill!"
He dropped this threat-laden line, then boarded a helicopter and left with Qin Shihua and Chang Rong!
Chen Xiaobei merely chuckled at his departing figure: "Battling with me, you’re still too green."
"Xiaobei, don’t get complacent; three days later, Ye Shanhe and Qin Zhengyang’s men should arrive, firstly to deliver the herbs and secondly to kill you. Your current physical condition isn’t particularly optimistic."
At this moment, Jiang Hongchun’s soft voice came from beside him.
Chen Xiaobei replied confidently with a smile: "Aunt, don’t worry. Give me three days, and I’ll be a livewire!"
Jiang Hongchun looked at him with interest and asked: "Aren’t you curious why I’m only restricting the Mysterious Sect from entering, yet allowing them to send Grandmasters to deal with you?"
Chen Xiaobei laughed heartily: "Aunt, honestly, it’s too simple. Even though you are protecting me, you can’t always be by my side. You also want to test me, don’t you?"
If it wasn’t for the purpose of sharpening him, Jiang Hongchun wouldn’t need to allow anything below Mysterious Sect level to challenge him.
It must be to hone himself, thus setting this rule.
Jiang Hongchun nodded slightly. Many people become greedy after receiving help, but Chen Xiaobei understood clearly and appreciated her well-meaning intentions.
Flowers sheltered in a greenhouse don’t grow; without some tempering, Chen Xiaobei’s achievements will be limited. Just for Brother Xiao Yao, Jiang Hongchun couldn’t overindulge Chen Xiaobei.
