After Zheng-Fu had told the young woman his wish, she immediately took everyone up to the third floor. Each person had to deposit one thousand demon crystal coins. All four of them had to pay a total of four thousand demon crystal coins, all of which were paid by Zheng-Fu.

Once the deposits were completed, they were allowed to proceed to the third floor. None of the items on this floor caught Zheng-Fu's attention; they were all common items that were easy to find. However, that was only the case for Zheng-Fu; for others, these items were highly valuable.

"The products on this floor are as I mentioned. If any of you are interested in something, please let me know—"

"Oh! Is that Sister Zhu-Ji? Looks like you've got a good customer today!" Before the young woman could finish speaking, another young woman's voice interrupted, accompanied by a plump figure walking toward Zheng-Fu.

"Sister Gi-Ping!?" The young woman who had brought Zheng-Fu and the group up turned to face the new arrival, her expression showing both shock and sadness before saying, "I can't be compared to Sister Gi-Ping. I'm just getting a little lucky," she murmured before lowering her head and saying no more.

"Hahaha! That's right. How could you possibly compare yourself to me? Let me introduce this young master from a high middle-ranking clan. He just came down from the fourth floor and bought something worth over five hundred thousand demon crystal coins!" Seeing that Zhu-Ji stayed humble, Gi-Ping bragged, continuing to insult Zhu-Ji by showing off the young man behind her.

"Haha! Miss Gi-Ping has praised me too much. It was just a small purchase—nothing significant!" The young man, clearly narcissistic as same as Gi-Ping, seized the opportunity to bolster his image, realizing that Gi-Ping was using him to insult Zhu-Ji.

Huh!

Diao was the first to show a dissatisfied expression, staring at the young man and itching to punch him. But Den quickly stepped in to prevent chaos.

"Oh! Young Master, you're so generous, paying such a large amount and claiming it's nothing. Would you be kind enough to buy weapons worth five hundred thousand coins for the four of us?"

Suddenly, Zheng-Fu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke with a sly smile before stepping forward and standing beside Zhu-Ji.

Ah!!!

Zheng-Fu's words caused everyone in the room to react with surprise, as besides Zheng-Fu's group and the young man, there were many others present. Enthusiasm spread as people reconsidered Zheng-Fu's suggestion.

"That's right! Since the young master said money is nothing, surely, he wouldn't mind buying us some good weapons!"

"Yes, Young Master is so generous!"

"Let's all praise the Young Master!"

Yay!!!

Many people raised their voices in unison. Everyone wanted this young man to buy things for them. Although they knew he couldn't, they wanted to teach a lesson to someone who liked to boast.

"You guys! Huh! Watch your backs! How dare you shame me in front of others like this? I'll never let you go!" The young man was deeply humiliated, he didn't think that his boasting would backfire him until he couldn't argue back.

"Thinking of threatening me? By the way, which clan do you belong to?" Zheng-Fu continued to tease the young man, pretending to inquire about his clan.

"Huh! If you knew, you would tremble! I'm from—"

Flap! Flap! Flap!

"Move aside! Move aside!"

But before the young man could finish, a commotion broke out as several people pushed through the crowd toward Zheng-Fu and the young man. Leading them was another young man who looked as arrogant as the one in front of Zheng-Fu.

"Low-class fools! How dare you cause trouble and block the way for Young Master Liang of the White Jade Clan! Get out of the way!" shouted a cruel-looking middle-aged servant monster, unleashing the pressure of the ninth level of the Immortal Soul stage.

"White Jade Clan!!!"

"That guy is from the White Jade Clan, one of the six major clans of the capital city!"

"Let's leave quickly before we get into trouble!"

"Whoever wants to stay, be my guest! I'm out of here!"

The onlookers scattered immediately, aware of the White Jade Clan's power. The clan leader's influence was comparable to the commanders like Dan-Ge, who ruled the city.

"Young Master Liang, nice to see you again. I didn't mean to stand in your way, but these fools are harassing and blocking your path!" The young man who had an issue with Zheng-Fu earlier quickly changed his expression once he saw who the newcomer was. Since his clan was only a middle-ranking one, how could it possibly compare to a high-ranking clan like the one the other young man belonged to?

"Huh! I don't care who has an issue. But if you don't back off, don't say I didn't warn you!" The young man, surrounded by his guards, spoke in a tone filled with great contempt and disdain for others. His gaze toward Zheng-Fu and his group was even more disdainful than toward anyone else.

Tch!!!

"Big Brother, let me slap this cocky young master once. He's insulting and disrespecting us. I can't stand his gaze any longer!" Diao finally couldn't tolerate Liang's arrogance and sought permission from Zheng-Fu.

"Low-class trash! Who do you think you're calling arrogant!?" The middle-aged male servant monster immediately became enraged upon hearing what Diao said. He thought that Diao was just a mere country boy with nothing special. Moreover, he wanted to show off his abilities and flatter the young man.

Smack!!!

But before he could finish, a loud slap echoed. His cheek turned bright red, five distinct fingerprints marking his face. Blood dripped from his mouth, and two teeth flew out.

"Wha… what… what just happened?"

Everyone stood in stunned silence. No one knew who had delivered the slap, but when they realized it, the arrogant servant's mouth was covered in blood.

"You think you're the only one with skills? Huh! How pitiful!"

The one who slapped the middle-aged male servant monster was none other than Diao himself. He moved in the blink of an eye before returning to his original position without anyone noticing. However, there was blood on his hand, which came from the mouth of the middle-aged male servant monster.

"I told you, didn't I? You need to learn to control your emotions. But never mind! Now that it's happened, we'll just have to go with it!" Den, seeing that Diao had already acted, couldn't help but scold his younger brother for his lack of patience. However, since the incident had already occurred, he had no choice but to assist his brother to the end. He then unleashed all of his energy.

Woooooooosh!!!

Ah!!

"Di… Di… Divine Emperor!?"

"Divine Emperor stage!?"

The words sent shockwaves through the crowd. Divine Emperor stage warriors were of high standing, and if young people had reached this level, their importance was even greater.

The young man who had earlier clashed with Zheng-Fu turned pale, as did the plump young woman who had scorned him. She trembled, realizing these were no ordinary young masters but highly skilled martial artists. If they were so strong, how powerful must their leader, Zheng-Fu, be?

Even Zhu-Ji herself couldn't help but show a mix of emotions on her face. She had initially thought that Zheng-Fu and his group were merely young masters from ordinary families, never imagining that they could be such important figures or highly skilled martial artists. If she had known from the beginning, she would have spoken more politely and formally.

"Hahaha! Divine Emperor stage, and so what? My White Jade Clan is one of the six major clans of this city. We have many skilled martial masters of the Divine Emperor stage!" The young man named Liang maintained his arrogant demeanor, as he had experienced many similar situations before. Therefore, he wasn't afraid when faced with a situation like this.

"One of the six big clans? Do you think you can act this way in our Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce?!"

At that moment, a deep, authoritative voice interrupted, and a middle-aged man strolled through the crowd to stand before Zheng-Fu and his group.

"Huang-Di City Branch Chamber Keeper, Master Wen-Xi!?" both young receptionists exclaimed in shock as the figure approached.

"Huang-Di City Branch Chamber Keeper!? Hmph, it's just a branch in a rural town. Do you dare speak to me like this? Don't you know I'm the son of the White Jade Clan Leader?" Liang, hiding his earlier shock, attempted to use his father's position to assert authority.

"Huh! Even your father has to respect me, little boy. Who do you think you are to speak so arrogantly?!" Wen-Xi was unfazed by Liang's threats and scolded him without holding back.

"Yo… you! Huh! Just wait! I'll tell my father about this, and you'll regret it! Everyone, let's go!" Unable to do anything more, Liang called for his men to retreat.

"Fine, little boy, I'll be waiting for your father!" Wen-Xi responded, undeterred, even inviting Liang to bring his father to the scene.
