Gu Liang thought and smiled bitterly. He shook his head and said, “I have just arrived in Mist City for less than seven days. It’s hard to know who is secretly creating difficulties in my way.”

Originally, Gu Liang was entrusted by his father Gu Yanping to operate a branch of Golden Hall in Mist City. With this important base, he could expand the brand of Golden Hall to the whole Southwest Province after it accumulated enough resources and materials.

In Gu Yanping’s plan, since Mist City was the capital of Southwest Province, if Golden Hall could successfully run a business here, it would attract many business talents and expand Golden Hall’s strength.

But even Gu Liang did not expect that troubles would come to him as soon as he had just settled down in Mist City, which really upset him.

When Lin Xun knew all this, he also couldn’t help but feel amazed at Gu Family’s ambition. They had already set their goal on the whole Southwest Province in just one year.

But according to Gu Yanping’s previous commercial practices, he was indeed a rare and tough figure.

Gu Liang felt that the topic was somewhat dull so he changed the topic while smiling, “I’ve heard a lot about you since I entered Mist City this time. You’re so famous that I almost doubt whether it is my friend I knew or not.”

His voice had a touch of surprise from the bottom of his heart.

After more than a year’s departure, Lin Xun had attained such remarkable achievements. Comparing with himself, Gu Liang sighed at his failure: a group of ruffians dared to make trouble at his doorstep when he came into Mist City.

In more than a year, what had happened to Lin Xun that let him earn such achievements?

“It’s useless fame.”

Lin Xun shrugged it off, “People are afraid of being famous as pigs are afraid of being fat. The more fame I get, the more trouble I’ll have.”

Gu Liang laughed loudly “Everyone wants fame, but it becomes a trouble to you. You really are different.”

Lin Xun smiled and said, “Let’s talk about something else. By the way, do you plan to stay in Mist City in the future?”

Gu Liang nodded. “If I can overcome the immediate difficulties and establish Golden Hall in Mist City, I will certainly not leave in a short time.”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled mysteriously, “Lin Xun, although you have made more progress than me in the past year, I will not be too far from you in strength after Golden Hall is well developed.”

Before Lin Xun’s response, Gu Liang went on to say, “According to my father’s plan, if we want to develop Golden Hall into a first-class business in the empire, we can’t work in the usual way. Now, my father has found this strategy.”

Lin Xun couldn’t help asking, “What’s the plan?”

Gu Liang smiled, “You’ll know soon. If it can go through, I’m sure I won’t be left behind you guys in the future.”

Lin Xun laughed and scolded, “Didn’t you say the same thing before?”

“Anyway, I can assure you that if everything goes well, Golden Hall will blossom in the Empire and even expand further.”

Speaking of this, Gu Liang’s eyes were full of dazzling brilliance.

Lin Xun was shocked. Gu Yanping wanted to expand Golden Hall beyond the Empire! It really was great. If so, Golden Hall would become a huge force like Keystone Business in the future.

Suddenly, a noise sounded from outside, interrupting the reunion of this pair of old friends.

“Get out here! Where is the shopkeeper?”

“Get out here, the man who dared to hurt people just now.”

Obviously, it was the ruffians who came back aggressively. They seemed to be full of courage this time.

Apparently, they had found helpers.

Lin Xun got up and said, “Let’s go out and have a look.”

Gu Liang reminded him with a worried look, “Lin Xun, I know you have a great reputation now, but in Mist City, forces are intricate. Don’t be impulsive. Even if the shop is destroyed, as long as I’m alive, I will eventually have the chance to win back.”

Before he finished, Lin Xun interrupted him helplessly, “Okay, I know what you’ve said. Let’s go now.”

Gu Liang was pulled out of the quiet room by Lin Xun before he wanted to say more.

...

In front of the shop, a group of hooligans gathered with fierce faces. The black-coated leader was also there, but his cheek was red and swollen like a pig, which seemed very funny.

But at this time, he was not the main character. The protagonist was an old man with a goatee, who was sitting on a chair and refreshing himself with closed eyes in the shop at this moment.

When Lin Xun and Gu Liang came out, the black-coated man looked bitter. He pointed at Lin Xun and shouted, “Old Qian, it’s that boy who intervened in this matter. Without him, we would have succeeded.”

The other ruffians also cried out, “Yes, that bastard doesn’t take our Azure-light Pavilion seriously.”

Azure-light Pavilion!

Gu Liang’s expression changed sharply. Even if he understood little about Mist City, he knew that Azure-light Pavilion was the first-class force in the city. He never expected that it would be Azure-light Pavilion who were causing trouble for him.

This was also strange. Golden Hall had not taken root in Mist City, so how could he have offended the Azure-light Pavilion?

When hearing Azure-light Pavilion, a different color flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes, and the corners of his lips raised a bit.

He smiled and said, “You guys sure have guts and dare to bring people back.”

“Damn you!”

“Daring to be so bold in front of Old Qian, you will be dead.”

“Boy, don’t blame us for not telling you that Old Qian is a skilled master in Azure-light Pavilion, a truly renowned person. If you don’t want to die, you should kneel and apologize to him.”

The group of ruffians abused angrily.

“Lin Xun, don’t be impulsive. We can’t afford to offend Azure-light Pavilion. I’ll handle this matter.”

Gu Liang was worried that Lin Xun would be reckless, so he quickly whispered to Lin Xun.

Seeing this, all the local ruffians laughed loudly and looked proud and resentful. They thought Lin Xun was doomed to suffer for what he had done to them.

But Lin Xun laughed brilliantly and remarked, “Forcing me by the name of Azure-light Pavilion, you really found the right person. Who is Old Qian. Stand out and let me know.”

The old man with a goatee was sitting there, but Lin Xun looked so indifferent that all the ruffians were furious and wanted to chop this lad.

Gu Liang felt helpless knowing that he could not persuade Lin Xun at all, but he also went out to risk everything at this moment. He could create a good commotion, accompanying Lin Xun and then choose another chance one day to enter Mist City.

At this time, the goatee-bearded old man, who had been keeping his eyes closed arogantly, suddenly gave a cold hum.

“Young man, it’s not good to be too angry. We’ve given a choice to you. If you don’t grasp it properly, don’t blame me then.”

Old Qian’s voice was low with an undisguised coldness. He opened his eyes when he said this.

However, when he saw Lin Xun, his eyeballs suddenly bulged like meeting something horrible, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Those ruffians were refreshed when Old Qian showed an indescribable dignity in his speech and behavior. These were not dirty words at all, but it had an invisible pressure. That was really an skilled master.

They weren’t aware that their high-profile Old Qian had waves rolling in his heart, and his mind was dizzy like being struck by lightning.

How could it be this guy?

Old Qian looked dull and naturally remembered the killing on rainy nights in the past few days and the peak duel in the arena.

Why?

Why had he met this evil person here?

Old Qian’s lip could not help convulsing. If those bigwigs in Azure-light Pavilion knew that he had provoked Lin Xun, the consequences would be unbearable.

“Have the cat got your tongue?”

Lin Xun looked at Old Qian with a smile. He knew this old man had completely lost his fighting will at a glance.

Old Qian’s lips shivered for a moment but the black-coated man scolded first, “Don’t you want your life? At this time, you still dare to disrespect Old Qian. You’re really sick of living, so you attempt to stir up a fire and burn yourself!”

Crack!

Old Qian couldn’t help getting up and slapping the face of the black-robed man. The sound was clear and loud.

The man in black covered his cheeks and screamed. He looked at Old Qian incredulously. His companions were also stunned by the sudden scene.

“Did you...hit the wrong man... Old Qian?”

The man in black asked innocently.

“I was hitting you! You unsightly spawn!”

Old Qian shivered with rage. He raised his hand and shot a series of slaps. He vented his anger on the black-coated man and hit the man so badly that he knelt and begged for mercy.

The ruffians next to him were shocked. Looking at the crazy Old Qian, they finally realized that, this time, they seemed to have provoked someone they shouldn’t have.

Gu Liang, who had already decided to make a scene with Lin Xun, couldn’t help turning stiff when he saw such a good dogs-fight scene. What was wrong with them?

He looked at Lin Xun and saw him singing and looking at all of this. Suddenly, he vaguely understood something. He was shocked because he never thought that Lin Xun now had such power and reputation.

“And you, kneel and apologize to Mr. Lin!”

After a long beating, Old Qian was tired. It would be impossible for him to beat his men to death. So Old Qian scolded the local ruffians and ordered them to apologize to Lin.

If they didn’t get Lin’s pardon today, the consequences would be even too serious for Old Qian to bear.

There were sudden bangs as the ruffians fell on their knees. They had been intimidated and frightened, so how dare they hesitate in kneeling?

Didn’t you see Old Qian’s pale face with fear?
