Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 54: Since You Know Your Limits Then I Wish You Luck!
"You want to buy this cauldron?" Zhi Qiang inquired with a sinister look.
"Are you deaf? Didn’t I say that cauldron is mine? If you want it, then it is nothing but a fool’s dream!" Ye Chen replied with a sneer.
"Humph! Let me see who can stop me from getting this cauldron!" Zhi Qiang stated with a cold look and looked at the attendant.
"Where is the price tag? I want this cauldron to hurry up and pack it for me," he commanded with an arrogant tone.
Hearing him, the attendees faces flashed with displeasure.
"I am sorry, but this cauldron can’t be sold without its owner present here. If you really want to buy it, then you have to wait; if you don’t want to wait, then this cauldron might not be faced with you," she stated with impatience.
Once again Zhi Qiang’s face turned dark with anger. He really didn’t expect that even an attendant would be impolite to him.
"How dare you talk to my master like this! Didn’t your superiors teach you how to behave?" Jun Wang shouted with a furious look.
Of course he was just acting as he wanted his master to trust him blindly, and this trick really worked as Zhi Qiang felt better inside after watching his disciple stand up for him.
"Jun Wang, don’t bicker with them; it’s not like I can’t afford to wait!" he stated with a calm look.
Hearing him, Jun Wang looked aggrieved, but slowly he nodded and stood behind him.
Watching his actions, Zhi Qiang felt satisfied to have such a good disciple, and his anger from before disappeared a lot.
After this he turned his gaze to Ye Chen’s group.
He had noticed for a while that Jing Xiao was standing behind him silently, and because Ye Chen and Li Mei were not wearing the official outfits of the sect, he thought they were from the Jade Mountain Sect.
"Sect master Jing Xiao, it would be better to not have such disciples in your sect. Who knows if they might bring destruction and calamity on everyone related?" he reminded kindly.
However, he was clearly threatening to cut off their relationship with Ye Chen; if not, it won’t be good.
If it was any other third-grade sect, he wouldn’t think too much and destroy it directly. However, the Jade Mountain Sect was something hard for him, as the divine doctor had saved many people.
He couldn’t handle them alone and might need to use some important favors. For a third-grade sect, using such favors wasn’t worth it; hence he decided to threaten indirectly.
Once Ye Chen got expelled, it would be easy for him to do things. Of course he wouldn’t let Jade Mountain Sect off. He would slowly use his status and destroy their business.
"Alchemist Zhi Qiang doesn’t have to worry about my sect’s affairs. Although my sect might be just a third-grade sect, it is enough to handle small troubles caused by him," Jing Xiao responded with a giggle.
She didn’t clarify his misunderstanding and responded, You are nothing but a small fry. My sect isn’t afraid of you.
Zhi Qiang understood what she meant, and his rage shot up instantly.
"Little girl Jing Xiao, you better not take some things lightly. I had seen many third-grade sects getting destroyed in a night, their business getting uprooted from every city and their disciples suffering immense casualties."
"The anger of powerful figures is not something that a third-grade sect can resist, so be careful!" he stated coldly.
In response, Jing Xiao smiled and nodded without any fear.
"This little girl knows my limits; however, the person who might want to attack us may not know his bounds and would end up suffering," she replied with a grin.
Watching the interactions between them, the elders and disciples on the second floor were stunned.
Many of them recognized her and even knew about the rumors that were spreading like wildfire.
They all understood Ye Chen was from Azure Clue Sect, yet she didn’t deny it and was even indirectly saying that Zhi Qiang was weak.
No matter what, he had first-grade sect behind him; unless his reputation is really ruined, the sect would not just sit back and watch.
Not to mention the sect would hold a grudge for not putting them in eyes even after Zhi Qiang was finished.
If the Jade Mountain Sect was a second-grade sect, it wouldn’t have mattered too much, but a third-grade business sect was just too weak.
Just as they were thinking about this, Jun Wang secretly explained the rumors about Jing Xiao and Ye Chen to his master.
Of course he altered a few things and made Ye Chen the disciple of the Jade Mountain Sect, who is valued by her and also the sect master of the Azure Cloud Sect.
His master didn’t know anything about these rumors because he was arrogant and didn’t like to hear about someone whose strength is below him. He won’t even care about the second-grade sect, not to mention a third grade.
’No wonder she dares to stand up for him,’ Zhi Qiang muttered in his heart after hearing the explanation from his disciple.
"Since you know your limits, then I wish you luck!" he stated with a cold look.
After this he just waited silently, wondering what kind of person the owner of Cauldron is.
"Why didn’t you explain?" Ye Chen inquired after Jing Xiao was done speaking.
"I don’t think there is a need to explain; also, I am not lying when I said I know my limits," she replied with a meaningful smile and winked seductively at him.
Watching her like this, Ye Chen rolled his eyes at her and started to chat with Li Mei and Lan Ming.
Just as he was doing this, a fat figure made its entrance on the second floor. It was none other than Li Zhenyuan, the Buddhist disciple.
He didn’t follow Ye Chen on the second-floor immateriality because he had discovered a good treasure. It’s just that he was afraid someone would compete with him if he bought it suddenly; hence, he took some time before rushing to the second floor.
But clearly he was late, as all the fun was gone and the only thing left was whispers and a tense atmosphere.
’Looks like I missed a good show,’ the fatty thought as his shoulders slumped with disappointment along with fat on his body.

However, it didn’t take too long, and he perked up before heading towards the display area of the cauldron.
"Amitabha! This Buddha has sensed a lot of bad luck and blood calamity on this donor. The donor should be careful in the future, especially with the donor’s old body; if not, the donor might suffer from serious health problems," Li Zhenyuan spoke as he looked at Zhi Qiang with a serious look.
"How dare you curse my master? You are looking for death!" Jun Wang shouted before Zhi Qiang could say something.
"You better take back your words and apologize; if not, you will regret it for your whole life," he added with a threatening look.
Hearing him Li Zhenyuan’s expression didn’t even change a bit, and he just looked at Jun Wang with a deep look.
"Donor, what I have said is the truth; even if I regret it, I won’t mind, but I do know that the donor will not have any chance of witnessing this," he stated.
"You! How dare you curse me to death! Believe it or not, I will skin you alive!" Jun Wang shouted with a furious look.
Today he had been injured and humiliated by a qi-gathering cultivator; after that, he was cursed to death by another qi-gathering. Where would he keep his face if it kept happening?
Even Zhi Qiang’s expression wasn’t looking very good after hearing the words of Li Zhenyuan.
"Donor, I have already reminded you; whether you should believe it or not, it doesn’t matter to me," the fatty said, and without waiting for a response, he walked away.
"Hey, wait, where are you going?" Jun Wang gritted his teeth in anger as he saw the fatty walking away.
He wanted to stop him, but his master stopped him.
"Let him go; we can’t do anything to him here. We should wait for the right opportunity," Zhi Qiang spoke in a low voice.
Hearing him Jun Wang calmed down and nodded.
They both knew that Li Zhenyuan was from the Buddhist Temple, which was a first-grade sect like them.
There were a total of three first-grade sects in the Golden River Kingdom.
The first one was Sword Pavilion, the second was Buddhist Temple, and the third was Flame Dragon Sect.
It was normal for friction to happen between them, so they weren’t afraid of Li Zhenyuan; it’s just they can’t kill him openly like Ye Chen and had to make some preparations.
After that, even if the Buddhist temple knew it was them who had done it, unless they have strong evidence, they won’t be able to do anything to them.
