Chapter 1082: New hatred and old hatred (Part 2) _1
âWhen the time comes, can shopkeeper Qiu please lead the way?â Xia qingchen asked.
âOf course!â Shopkeeper Qiu smiled. Lord Xiaâs matter is my duty to ask someone for help. When Lord Xia needs it, please inform me at any time and I will accompany you to the volcano.â
Xia qingchen set aside the matters in his heart. Under his and Wu Xiongâs company, they arrived at the Chamber of Commerceâs venue.
The venue was from the north to the south, and the organizer and the distinguished guests were on the high platform in the North.
As for the invited guests, they would sit in the South.
Between the north and south seats, curtains were temporarily used to isolate the guests from seeing the movements on the high platform.
Seeing that the time was about to be up, Qiu wanjin invited Xia qingchen to the venue and sat in the VIP seats on the left side of the organizer.
As one of the two seats closest to the organizer, one could imagine how distinguished this seat was. It represented the high respect Qiu wanjin and Wu Xiong had for him.
The seat on the right of the organizer was naturally reserved for the famous chief temple master of the temple of the cool realm!
âLord Xia, when we sell the statue later, can I borrow your reputation?â Qiu wanjin sat beside Xia qingchen and asked for instructions.
He was a merchant, so no one would believe him if he sold the sculptures.
However, Xia qingchen was different. He was a battle God whose name shook the entire cool realm and had immense prestige.
If Xia qingchen were to say that the statue had the power to encourage demonic beasts to fight, it would be extremely convincing.
yes. Xia qingchen nodded. sure.
He was the one who detected the statue, so there was nothing wrong with selling it in his name.
Qiu wanjin could not contain his joy!
Just as they were about to continue their conversation, a suffocating aura suddenly enveloped the entire venue. At the same time, the sound of Brahma came from afar.
They were hundreds of well-dressed maids of the temple, playing the flute, the zither, and scattering flowers. They were escorting a snow-white Holy palanquin to the venue!
Qiu wanjin and Wu Xiong both panted uncomfortably and hurriedly went to the entrance of the venue to welcome him despite the huge pressure.
Needless to say, the newcomer was the powerful and extraordinary master of the divine Hall, who could compete with Gu qianhen, the Supreme master of martial arts!
âHow overbearing.â Xia qingchen spoke calmly. With a wave of his hand, a formless divinity gushed out, blocking the aura of the chief Hall master.
He continued to sip his tea as if there was no one else around, as if nothing had happened.
At the entrance.
The huge snow carriage stopped, and under the escort of four protectors, an old man with a high crown on his head and a brilliant robe embroidered with stars and moon walked out of the snow carriage. His face was as dignified as an Emperor.
âGreetings, chief Hall master!â Qiu wanjin and Wu Xiong were extremely respectful, and their expressions were full of tension.
The person in front of him was a Supreme figure who was beyond the cool realm.
His presence was enough to increase the weight of the Chamber of Commerce by 50%.
Many people had specially come to support the chief Hall master.
Naturally, the majority of the people were doing this for the sake of Xia qingchen.
Although the chief Hall masterâs status was respected, he was too dignified. In addition, he was not someone of the secular world. They only respected him, not tried to get close to him.
However, Xia qingchen was different. He was the war god of the cool realm, someone whom the citizens of the southern border respected from the bottom of their hearts.
The Emperor-like old man nodded his head indifferently, and the four protectors in front of him immediately gave Qiu wanjin and Wu Xiong a look.
The two of them understood tacitly and led them to the high platform.âHead Hall master, please. Four protectors, please!â
Along the way, the maidservants and managers of the Chamber of Commerce all stopped what they were doing nervously and solemnly saluted.
Other than the guests from the South who didnât know what was going on, the entire place was in dead silence.
This continued until they arrived at the high platform and saw Xia qingchen.
Guardian Zhao was one of the four guardians. He frowned and scolded, ââThe one surnamed Xia, the chief Hall master is here. Why arenât you kneeling to welcome him?â
He was furious. This young man was too arrogant and didnât put anyone in his eyes. He even dared to show disrespect to the chief Hall master.
Xia qingchenâs gaze was calm as he spoke, â Iâm not a member of the divine Hall, and Iâm not a believer of the God King. Why should I kneel? â
Since the divine Hall was an existence that transcended the secular world, there was no reason for the secular people to kneel and worship it.
âYouâre so bold!â Protector Zhao berated in anger. He took a step forward and grabbed Xia qingchenâs collar, preparing to throw him off his seat.
Xia qingchenâs expression was calm. He truly didnât have a good impression of this person. He didnât mind wasting a grain of divine soil and crushing this person into a meat patty.
Qiu wanjinâs face was filled with anxiety. He could not afford to offend the temple, and he did not dare to get involved.
Wu Xiongâs gaze turned and he grabbed the curtains that separated the north and south!
Huala-
The curtain was pulled down, and the guests sitting upright and still immediately saw the scene on the high platform clearly.
That protector Zhao had a fiendish look on his face, wanting to grab Xia qingchenâs collar.
The crowd was stunned for a moment before they reacted.
âTemple, what are you doing?â At the front of the table was the old master of the Xiao family, one of the leading ore merchants in the southern border.
He was already more than 150 years old, and he had long stopped caring about the matters of the clan.
Given his status, he naturally wouldnât attend the merchant Association today. However, when he heard that Xia qingchen was here, he, who wasnât invited, specially ordered someone to request an invitation from Qiu wanjin.
His purpose was to see who the great Xia war god, who had defeated the zhongyun territory in the northern border and made endless glory for the cool territory, was.
Before this, when Xia qingchen came to the venue, old master Xiao and his family just happened to be outside and had seen Xia qingchenâs back from afar. Hence, they recognized him with a single glance.
What old master Xiao didnât expect was that the first time he saw Xia qingchen, the templeâs protector would act like a tyrant, acting fierce toward Xia qingchen.
The atmosphere in the southern border was not as good as in other places, especially the local forces, which were more powerful.
Whatâs wrong with the temple?
They were not believers and did not need to respect the temple.
The moment old master Xiao spoke, the leaders of many powers who came here for Xia qingchen all slammed their hands on the table and stood up, berating in a stern voice, ââYou bastard! What do you want to do to war god Xia?â
âThe divine Hall is too arrogant, and the cool territory is proud. How dare a mere protector not respect them?â
âToo impudent!â
Guardian Zhaoâs actions infuriated more than half of the crowd, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
He had no choice but to retract his hand that was grabbing toward Xia qingchen. He felt like he was riding a Tiger and finding it hard to get off.
If he arrested them, he would incur public wrath. If he didnât arrest them, he would be embarrassed.
âStand down.â The hall master of the Emperor-like Hall seemed to have only just realized Guardian Zhaoâs ill-intent.
Guardian Zhao took the opportunity to step back, embarrassed.
His face was still burning, and he couldnât help but have a hint of hatred in his gaze when he glanced at Xia qingchen.
He had to take revenge for this!
Under the pressure of the shrine master, the noisy merchants gradually quieted down. After all, he was the shrine master, and they didnât dare to act rashly.
Seeing that the matter had barely subsided, Qiu wanjin hurriedly tried to smooth things over. âItâs just a small misunderstanding. Iâm sorry to have embarrassed myself.â
He settled everyone down.
The shrineâs chief Hall master sat on his right, while the four guardians stood behind him.
As the organizer, he and Wu Xiong naturally sat in the center.
