Hearing Shen Qiang's uncompromising words, a cold smirk appeared on the face of the Elegant Taste's owner, "Antique Street is not the vegetable market by your house, this is a place that values status and identity. Your little Treasure House and you, Shen Qiang, don't yet qualify to walk ahead of us."

Having said that, the boss of the Crow Silence and the eldest son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion's owner barged past Manager Ma and Sun Kaiping.

Their crude and arrogant brazenness pressed down inexplicably on Shen Qiang's heart.

At the same time, some of the small shop owners from the Antique Street also gathered around.

"Shen, Elegant Taste and Ancient Moon Pavilion are the two biggest shops on our Antique Street, they really are powerful. Although the two compete, they secretly cooperate, boosting each other's business. That way, they can monopolize Antique Street. You'd better just let it be, otherwise, they'll find every way to squeeze you out," one of them said.

"Sigh, now that Elegant Taste and Ancient Moon Pavilion are dominating Antique Street, their arrogance and overbearing behavior are too much to bear. Just endure it, you can't fight him. Harmony brings wealth; if things get too tense, it won't do you any good," another advised.

"Yeah, just endure it, the strength of those two shops is too great."

The small shop owners of Antique Street advised Shen Qiang to hold back.

Feeling very unhappy, Shen Qiang chose silence.

The truth was, if the two from Ancient Moon Pavilion and Elegant Taste had walked up and pushed past Shen Qiang, his mood would have remained very calm.

However, they had pushed past Sun Kaiping and Manager Ma.

This greatly oppressed Shen Qiang.

To put it bluntly, in Huaxia, there's a saying, "Even when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner."

Manager Ma and Sun Kaiping had not stopped providing help to Shen Qiang lately.

And today, they had come here to accompany Shen Qiang.

As a result, they were pushed aside in front of so many people on Antique Street by Elegant Taste and Ancient Moon Pavilion, an affront more insulting to Shen Qiang than a slap in the face.

But listening to everyone's persuasion and seeing the nonchalant expressions of Sun Kaiping and Manager Ma,

If Shen Qiang were to get angry now, he would appear small-minded in the eyes of the others on Antique Street.

Even if he won, he would leave a mark of pettiness and narrow-mindedness in the hearts of the people on Antique Street.

So, taking a deep breath, Shen Qiang decided to endure.

Just as his face began to show a smile,

The eldest son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion's owner, having reached the door of Cheng Xinyi, looked at Sun Kaiping with contempt and said, "Sun Kaiping, you've really become more backward the more you mix. I used to think you were somewhat of a figure, but now, it turns out, you're just a lackey following behind some kid all day. This is probably as good as your life will get."

"What did you say?"

Anger flared up in Shen Qiang's heart.

"I said, he has now reduced himself to trash, just like you," the eldest son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion's owner said with a smug smile.

Bang!

The huge glass door of Cheng Xinyi shattered thunderously.

The faces of the eldest son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion's owner and the Elegant Taste's owner turned pale instantly.

True Qi circulated, and amidst the flying shattered glass, two uniformed, dignified-looking middle-aged men appeared suddenly by their side.

One of them said coldly, "Friend, this is Cheng Xinyi; unless you have a reasonable explanation, I will make you regret being born into this world."

Hearing this, the small shop owners of Antique Street all tensed up.

"Shit, this is trouble now. Cheng Xinyi has a dark background, damn it, apart from Wan Xin He Sheng, nobody on Antique Street dares to provoke them," one of them muttered.

"Shen Qiang has gotten himself into trouble this time."

Almost at the same time, Boss Ma hurriedly squeezed over, smiling broadly, "Big brother, the kid doesn't know any better, don't mind him. The door was broken by accident, we'll compensate, right away."

As Boss Ma spoke, he tugged at Shen Qiang's sleeve.

However, at that moment, Shen Qiang's eyebrows twitched, and he said icily, "I smashed it on purpose."

Upon hearing these words, the distinguished man's eyes immediately lit up, and his overwhelming aura erupted so violently that for a moment, Shen Qiang felt as if a hill rested upon his shoulders.

"Nice going, Cheng Xinyi appreciates honest people like you."

By this time, the eldest son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion's owner had come to his senses. Seeing that Cheng Xinyi's people were clearly at loggerheads with Shen Qiang, he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, "Not only is he rubbish, but he's also stupid. Trying to 'act cool', but not even considering where he is."

The owner of Treasure House also smirked arrogantly, "It looks like I overestimated him. With that level of intelligence, he's only fit to plant rice in the countryside. Thinking he can get by on Antique Street is a joke."

The son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion owner laughed.

As he laughed, Shen Qiang's wrist turned, revealing a bag of Qi Gathering Powder sealed in a small ziplock bag. He said coldly, "Get your best appraiser from Cheng Xinyi out here to see me immediately, or he might miss the only chance in his life to witness a miracle."

The man standing next to Shen Qiang was taken aback and frowned, "What is this?"

"Qi Gathering Powder." Looking coldly at the man, Shen Qiang replied icily, "Its effect is ten times that of ordinary Gathering Qi Powder."

The people around were confused, but the man was stunned.

"What?" he exclaimed in shock.

"Get the best appraiser from Cheng Xinyi out here to see me now," Shen Qiang commanded with lifted brows and an icy tone.

Upon hearing this, the owner of Treasure House laughed until his eyes curved, "This foolish kid is still trying to 'act cool' and insult people. It'll be a miracle if he isn't beaten to the point where he can't take care of himself."

The son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion owner also laughed, "The way he's courting death is truly unique."

But just when they thought Shen Qiang was about to be beaten up, the man with a fearsome gaze actually gestured for someone to come over, then said coldly, "This better be as good as you claim, or else..."

Shen Qiang looked at him with a cold gaze and said sternly, "Speak to me politely. You need to understand that Wan Xin He Sheng would be more than happy to see you guys piss me off and send me away."

Upon hearing this.

The man immediately fell silent.

Almost concurrently, a dignified elder in his fifties or sixties, dressed neatly, stepped out from Cheng Xinyi. He looked coldly at Shen Qiang and said, "I heard your claim. A Gathering Qi Powder with ten times the effect simply cannot exist."

Shen Qiang smiled, "That's why this is your moment to witness a miracle."

The distinguished elder grimly pinched a bit of the Qi Gathering Powder from the ziplock bag and said coldly, "Young man, the consequences of toying with Cheng Xinyi are far more terrifying than you can imagine!"

Shen Qiang sneered, "You better not miss this opportunity."

The elder looked coldly at Shen Qiang and put the Qi Gathering Powder in his mouth.

In just an instant, he was taken aback, falling silent for a full three seconds. His eyes gleamed ecstatically as he looked at Shen Qiang and then at the bag of Qi Gathering Powder before exclaiming excitedly, "Young friend, may I ask where you reside?"

In a matter of seconds, his attitude shifted from cold to warm, leaving the onlookers stunned.

While they were still in astonishment, Shen Qiang said nonchalantly, "We have plenty of time to talk about that."

Pointing at the owner of Treasure House and the son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion owner, Shen Qiang said coldly, "These two guys said I have no right to walk ahead of them, which really pisses me off. So now I want you from Cheng Xinyi to ban them from entering today."

With a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, Shen Qiang spoke calmly, "If you can't do that, I'll go to Wan Xin He Sheng."
