Chapter Fifteen: Tian Qi

  After putting on a veil, although Xiang's face was covered, her eyes still looked enchanting, but at least much more low-key than before.

  Then, the demon king would do his daily routine as the big boss, of course, he would inspect his two shops every day.

  The pharmacy was normal as usual. Then the two of them walked to the Xiake Hotel, but they went in through the back door and headed to a luxurious room on the second floor.

  Today, the storyteller downstairs talked about the part where Ouyang Feng forced Guo Jing to recite the Nine Yin Manual, and the audience applauded again. After finishing the storytelling, Old Qiao hastily walked into the VIP room of the demon corner.

  "Master, business has stabilized now. Every day, there's an income of 15,000 taels, this...this is the total income for the past ten years!" Old Zhao exclaimed excitedly.

  If it were the day before yesterday, Yao Jiao might still be excited, but now Yao Jiao has become numb. 15,000 taels? What can you do with that? You can't even buy a thousand-year-old lingzhi, and for your own cultivation in the later stages, you still need a ten-thousand-year-old lingzhi. Alas, money is needed, and it's necessary to collect more.

  "Let's use yesterday's money to buy a long sword for Jian Wu," said Yao Jiao.

  "Good," Old Joe nodded immediately.

  Just then, there was a sudden commotion from below.

  "Excuse me, sir, I'll go down first." Old Joe said immediately.

  "Uh-huh, you go ahead, don't worry about me, I'll be fine on my own in a bit, no need for you to come up." said the demon king.

  "Old Joe immediately went downstairs."

  At this time, the entrance of Xiake Tavern was noisy and chaotic. Some apprentices were at the door, seemingly discussing something. A group of beggars came to the door, making a ruckus as if they were causing trouble.

  When he saw Old Joe coming down the stairs, Little Joe immediately went up to him and said, "Dad, look."

  Old Joe pushed through the crowd and walked to the front.

  "We didn't come to cause trouble, we just came to the Xiake Tavern to have a cup of wine." The leader, an old man with a green stick and a big beard, said immediately.

  Behind the big beard, however, followed a large group of beggars.

  "In the Xiake Tavern, you can call me Old Qiao. What brings you gentlemen here?" Old Qiao immediately called out to the leading man, after all, there's a saying that goes "it's hard to deal with petty characters". Although beggars may not have a high status, when it comes to causing trouble, no one can surpass them. If they want to cause trouble for a tavern, it's too easy.

  "In the lower reaches of the Great Zhou Kingdom, I am Tian Qi, the leader of the Beggar Clan. You can call me Tian Qi Gong. Recently, I heard that the great hero Yao Jiao has a heroic tavern in the capital city, so I came to show my support." The man at the front immediately made a thousand bows.

  "Mr. Tian Qi? I've long admired you," Old Qiao said with a conventional courtesy, although he had never heard of him before, but still showed admiration. However, from Mr. Tian Qi's words, it can be heard that these beggars did not come to make trouble.

  "Hero with a demonic horn, chivalrous and kind-hearted, well-read in many books. It turns out that you know our Beggar Clan was once such a large sect. Even when we saw the Shooting Eagle Hero Transmission, it was a moment of shame for us, unworthy of our predecessors. Our Beggar Clan's Wind-Resistant Stick Technique was actually called the Dog-Beating Stick Technique in the distant past. I've already certified this technique recently, and from now on, it will be called the Dog-Beating Stick Technique. It's just another one of our clan's accumulated learnings. Unfortunately, our Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms was lost due to us unworthy disciples..." Tian Qi Gong said immediately.

  "Huh? Well, although the Hero of the Witch's Horn rarely comes here, in the past when he did come, it was also a source of regret for the Beggar Clan." Old Cao could only continue along with Tian Qi Gong's words.

  "Fortunately, there are some rules in our Beggar Clan, thanks to the great hero, Yao Jiao. Today, we came here to thank him, but don't worry, we won't eat for free. We'll pay for the dishes at the same price as others, so as not to break Yao Jiao's rules." Tian Qi Gong said immediately.

  Old Joe's face turned red with sweat upon hearing Tian Qi Gong's words. The demon horn on the upper floor also broke out in a cold sweat.

  "Hmm, Tianqi Gong's kindness, we all know, but now the Xiake Tavern is almost full, only three seats left, but your sect's disciples... " Old Qiao frowned at the dozens of Beggars' Sect disciples.

  "Oh, don't worry, all of you can disperse first. The two Ninth-Grade Elders will follow me in." Tian Qi Gong immediately said to the crowd behind him.

  "Yes, Master!" The beggar gang disciples immediately responded in unison.

  Then all the beggar gang disciples dispersed and left, leaving only two nine-bag elders to follow Tian Qi into the house.

  "Old Nine Bags?" Old Joe exclaimed in surprise.

  "Oh, this is also a system that our Beggar Clan had lost. From now on, the disciples of our Beggar Clan will also use bags to distinguish their levels," Tian Qi Gong said immediately.

  "Oh, three please" Old Jiao immediately invited Tian Qi Gong of the Beggar Clan to lead the way.

  Three people sat down under Lao Jiao's guidance.

  "Under the leadership of our leader, Tian Qi, everyone, let's begin!" Tian Qi excitedly said to the crowd.

  "Is he the leader of the Beggars' Clan?" Some people immediately exclaimed in surprise. Of course, they were only those rich young masters who had nothing better to do than listen to storytelling.

  "Long admired" Many people immediately returned the courtesy.

  Tian Qi excitedly returned the courtesy and then sat down.

  The Beggars' Sect of the Great Zhou Kingdom is only a second or third-rate faction in the kingdom. After all, what great achievements can a group of beggars have? However, with the publication of the book "Yao Jiao's Book", everything changed. In "The Legend of the Condor Hero", the Beggars' Sect was highly revered, and Tian Qi was overjoyed when he saw the book. At the same time, someone like Tian Qi, who also yearned for fame, immediately rushed to the capital from afar.

  Looking at the crowd's adoring eyes, Tian Qi felt a sense of satisfaction. How many years had it been since he became the leader and finally gained the support of so many people outside the gang? If only it could stay this way forever.

  "Old Qiao, if the Great Hero of the Wicked Horn comes here, would you please help me convey a message?" Tian Qi Gong said to Old Qiao.

  "Please speak, Master," said Old Joe.

  "I'm from the Beggar Clan, it's not as prosperous as before, but there are still many people and we have a wide range of information about the Jianghu. If the great hero needs our help, just give us an order, the Beggar Clan is willing to serve." Tian Qi said.

  "Tianqi Gong, good job!"

  "Not bad, it has the momentum of the number one gang in Jianghu back then"

  "With the demeanor of Hong Qigong"

  Some good Samaritans nearby immediately shouted.

  When he heard these words from the Jianghu figures, Tian Qi felt as if he had drunk ice water on a hot summer day, and his heart was refreshed.

  "Alright, the great hero with the horn has arrived. I will certainly bring up the topic." Old Cao said with a suppressed smile.

  "Thank you," said Tian Qi Gong with a smile.

  Then, with two Jiu Dai elders, they each ordered a Big Hero Set Meal.

  As for the demon horn on the second floor, it was a bit unexpected and stunned for half a day, and didn't know what to say for half a day.
