Lin Hao was idly sipping tea when he heard the commotion outside, instantly perking up.
He knew it was business coming his way, but he didn't know who it would be this time.
Was it someone he knew, or just some ordinary folks?
As he saw the person entering, Lin Hao was taken aback, a surge of surprise coursing through him. He couldn't believe it was this person who had arrived.
Before coming to this world, he was a huge fan of martial arts, and this person was the one who left him most unsatisfied.
A true hero serves the country and the people, and this person truly was a great hero, but his ending was too tragic.
Stepping into the pawnshop, Qiao Feng's eyes widened in surprise.
This pawnshop was vastly different from the ones he knew. It didn't resemble a pawnshop at all, it was more like an inn.
And, the unassuming pawnshop on the outside, was hiding a world of secrets within, its interior unexpectedly vast.
A young man sat behind the counter, a smile plastered on his face as he looked at him.
On the other side, a woman in white, her head covered by a wide-brimmed hat, sat quietly. As Qiao Feng saw her, a glint of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
His first impression was that she was a master.
He was incredibly astonished. He hadn't expected to find such a master within this seemingly ordinary pawnshop.
He could sense that her strength was no less than his own.
This pawnshop was definitely not simple, perhaps it could really help him. He just didn't know what he would have to pay for what he wanted.
“Welcome, esteemed guest. Nangong, serve tea.” Lin Hao said to Qiao Feng with a smile.
Nangong Yue rose, her steps light and swift, disappearing and reappearing with a teacup in hand.
“Haha…Thank you, boss, but I don’t like tea, I prefer this.” Qiao Feng raised the daughter red in his hand and laughed.
“En, Shaoxing daughter red, quite good, but won't Master Qiao try my tea?” Lin Hao looked at Qiao Feng with a smile.
“Oh? You know me, boss?” Qiao Feng was surprised, looking at Lin Hao.
He hadn't introduced himself, but the other party had recognized him at a glance.
“Master Qiao’s name is known throughout the martial arts world, who doesn’t know it?” Lin Hao said with a smile.
“It’s just an empty name, you are exaggerating, boss.” Qiao Feng shook his head.
“There is no smoke without fire, Master Qiao’s name is indeed thunderous.” Lin Hao said with a smile.
“Thank you for the compliment, boss, in that case, thank you for your kindness.” Qiao Feng finished, taking the teacup and drinking it in one gulp.
He couldn't appreciate tea at all; in his opinion, even the finest tea was not as refreshing as a shot of strong liquor.
But the next second, Qiao Feng's face changed.
He discovered that his internal energy was uncontrollably spinning wildly, completing a full cycle in a short time.
Furthermore, his internal energy had become even stronger. He knew that he was only at the peak of Grandmaster realm now, and breaking through to Great Grandmaster was still a long way off.
Now, because of this single cup of tea, he felt signs of a breakthrough, how terrifying!
What exactly was this tea? It had such a profound effect?
Seeing Qiao Feng’s change, Lin Hao had a slight smile on his lips. This tea was given by the system, and it was useless to him now.
Only after he could successfully cultivate would this tea be useful to him.
For him now, it was just delicious.
But for martial artists, it was comparable to a miraculous elixir, and without any side effects.
Feeling his internal energy increase, Qiao Feng was excited. He had thought he could break through to Great Grandmaster in one go, but unfortunately, he couldn't touch that final threshold.
“Sigh… pity…” Qiao Feng sighed helplessly.
“Master Qiao, don't be disappointed, when the time is right, everything will fall into place. Don't force it.” Lin Hao said with a smile.
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Qiao Feng regained his senses and bowed respectfully to Lin Hao in gratitude.
“Thank you, boss, Qiao owes you a favor. If you need anything from Qiao in the future, just ask, Qiao will not refuse.” Qiao Feng said in a firm tone.
“Master, what’s wrong with you? It’s just a cup of tea, how can you be so respectful to this pawnshop owner?”
The Beggar Clan disciples, seeing their respected master show such respect to a pawnshop owner for just a cup of tea, were puzzled.
“Sigh… no need to say anything, I know what I'm doing.” Qiao Feng waved his hand to stop his subordinates from talking.
He didn't want his subordinates to say anything that would offend Lin Hao, it would be difficult to recover from that.
