Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The little fatty of the past had now become a tall young man.

Dressed in a long robe embroidered with golden auspicious beasts, his brow exuded powerful confidence and the majesty of a superior.

Gone was the hint of rascality from before, and his figure was no longer as bloated as it used to be.

The fact that this guy awakened the abacus as his spirit void back then left a deep impression on him.

During the initial bet openings at the arena, Li Guanqi's impression of him wasn't favorable.

It wasn't until Ye Feng placed a considerable number of bets with him, and the other party even borrowed money to deliver it to them.

At that time, he realized that regardless of the other party's character, he was at least very trustworthy.

Later… after the incident with Little Suian, he discovered that this little fatty had a scale in his heart.

Once the things on the scale weren't what he wanted, even if it was one of the top sects in the Northern Region, he chose to leave without hesitation.

Li Guanqi's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured, "It's actually Tang Ru? Why is he here?"

"Uh… could this Hundred Treasure Pavilion be opened by his family?"

However, a smile quickly appeared on the corner of Li Guanqi's mouth, he wanted to see how Tang Ru would handle this matter.

You must know… ten thousand high-grade spirit stones are equivalent to ten million low-grade spirit stones!

Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!!

Even for a mighty figure in the Void Refinement realm, this could be considered a huge sum!

A Nascent Soul realm cultivator, after scraping together everything, would be considered wealthy if they could come up with a thousand high-grade spirit stones.

The female cultivator that Li Guanqi accidentally killed back then only had a few hundred high-grade spirit stones on her.

However, at this time, Tang Ru's expression was extremely solemn, and his appearance made people directly ignore his age.

Tang Ru went straight to the old man and said directly, "I am the Pavilion Master of this Hundred Treasure Pavilion, Tang Ru."

"From now on, you can discuss any issues with me."

The old man was shocked by the young man's immensely powerful confidence and pressure.

After a long while, he raised the IOU in his hand and said, "This is the money your Hundred Treasure Pavilion borrowed from me sixty years ago, according to the interest on it, your Hundred Treasure Pavilion owes me ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!!"

Tang Ru didn't immediately deny the old man, but reached out and took the IOU.

The old man dodged slightly and quickly said, "What are you doing? Trying to destroy the evidence?"

Tang Ru chuckled and said, "Do you think I would tear it up in front of everyone? I'm just checking its authenticity."

Hearing this, the old man hesitantly handed over the IOU.

But as soon as he took the IOU, Tang Ru's face darkened!

Because the Hundred Treasure Pavilion's official seal on the IOU in the old man's hand was real!

However, the interest and other things written on it were too illogical, Tang Ru's brain worked quickly.

First of all, he didn't doubt that the official seal was fake, but this IOU was indeed too strange.

When would the Hundred Treasure Pavilion borrow money from a private individual??

Moreover, when would the Hundred Treasure Pavilion need to borrow money?

The second point that puzzled him was… when would the Hundred Treasure Pavilion use a handwritten IOU to borrow money, and the amount of the debt was also too strange.

"What are you thinking about? Since you're the Pavilion Master, you wouldn't deny the debt, would you? Are you really treating us rogue cultivators as fools?"

"That's right, since you're in charge, you have to give an explanation, right?"

The crowd around became more and more agitated, and some people even spat at Tang Ru.

Looking down at the phlegm on his body, Tang Ru calmly wiped it away, then turned to look around.

"I, Tang Ru, swear in the name of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, I will definitely repay this debt!"

"As long as it's a debt of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, if it's proven to be true, whether it's ten thousand spirit stones, or ten thousand, or even a million!"

"My Hundred Treasure Pavilion will definitely find every possible way to repay it!"

"In business, opening the door to welcome guests, credibility is the most important thing, and this is also what I, Tang Ru, value the most!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted bursts of cheers, even Li Guanqi silently applauded him.

This guy is indeed born to do business, and is suitable for using an abacus.

Li Guanqi murmured with a playful look, "After laying the groundwork for so long… there should be a 'but', right?"

Sure enough!

Immediately afterward, Tang Ru sighed and said, "Everyone, you must have heard how much the amount on this IOU is."

"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

"This is undoubtedly an astronomical figure, even for my Hundred Treasure Pavilion, it would take a whole year's income to offset it."

"Moreover… when would the Hundred Treasure Pavilion need to borrow money from a rogue cultivator? Not to mention just a mere dozens of high-grade spirit stones."

"A paper IOU, plus a genuine official seal."

Speaking of this, the surrounding people were all shocked, such a valuable IOU was actually just a piece of paper!

Even a fool would suspect something!

Tang Ru looked at the old man with a cold expression, and murmured softly, "So I suspect the authenticity of this IOU!"

"If this debt is real, I, Tang Ru, will close the shop to repay the money!"

"But if it's fake… humph! Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Listening to Tang Ru's words full of killing intent, the old man's face turned pale, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

But immediately afterward, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the old man!!

The old man's body stiffened slightly, and he followed the person slowly towards the inside of the hall.

At this time, Tang Ru faced all directions and bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Three days! Give me three days to investigate!"

"After three days, this person will definitely come out unharmed!"

"I, Tang Ru, can't do things like killing people to silence them, please rest assured!"

Tang Ru, who had just stood up, happened to meet Li Guanqi's gaze, looking at the young man's smiling face, Tang Ru was slightly stunned.

Immediately afterward, there was a look of ecstasy, but now he could only suppress this emotion.

He looked around and said with a smile, "Today, because of this incident, everyone's interest has been disturbed, so I decided… all the goods in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion will be discounted by 5% today only!"

"I hope everyone can choose something they like."

After speaking, there was a burst of cheers around.

After all, they were just watching the excitement before, but now there are benefits falling on their heads.

The customers who had originally returned the goods quickly asked, "Uh… can I get a discount if I buy the things I just returned now?"

The woman immediately said with a smile, "Of course, esteemed guest."

"Hahaha really? Good, good, then I'll pick two more!"

For a time, the people who were originally watching the excitement flocked into the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.

And Tang Ru trotted all the way to Li Guanqi's side, rubbing his hands and looking at him with bright eyes and said, "Is it really you?"

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised, "You've got skills."

Tang Ru was a little embarrassed when he heard Li Guanqi's praise, scratched his head and said, "Can I invite you in for a seat?"

Li Guanqi said with a light smile, "Of course."

Tang Ru grinned and personally led Li Guanqi towards the inner pavilion.

This scene was seen by many people, and they were secretly shocked, and they all speculated about Li Guanqi's identity, what kind of person he was!

To be able to have such a young Pavilion Master of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion personally welcome him!
