C19 Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger
After Lin Hai and Gu Wu left the house, they started to recruit people. After the match at the Luo Family, Qiao Nan's reputation had finally rose again. Many people admired Qiao Nan, as they came to register with him.
Of course, there was also the effect of Qiao Nan adding fuel to the fire.
Qiao Nan sent people to spread the news that he had been accepted into the Octoterra Academy. The Octoterra Academy was some kind of ancient underworld academy, its position not inferior to the Four Great Academies. The Octoterra Academy specialized in accepting unrivalled geniuses.
In an instant, he had bragged about the number one in the entire history of the Octoterra Academy, as well as Qiao Nan's peerless innate talent. Although there were people who were suspicious, judging from the reaction of the Heavenly Star Sect that day, the Octoterra Academy was indeed impressive. Furthermore, they had no way to verify what had happened. They could only allow Qiao Nan to brag.
"Hmph, what Octoterra Academy? I've never even heard of them. Who knows if they're fake?" A few young men were drinking in a restaurant.
They did not believe it when they heard the news that was spreading like wildfire throughout the Octoterra Academy.
"Luo Ning, don't believe me. Our First Marquis has already been taken in by the Octoterra Academy." The young man opposite him scoffed. These young men were actually members of the Four Great Families. It was no wonder that the nearby customers did not dare to provoke them and sat far away from them.
The four of them had just returned from outside and had not seen the Luo Family's martial arts competition. They thought that they were bragging about it. After all, in their impression of Qiao Nan was just a piece of trash.
"Don't be stupid. I, Luo Ning, don't believe that the Octoterra Academy is that awesome. It's most likely that Qiao Nan that dog blew it out to intimidate our four families."
"Luo Ning, hahahahaha, you sure are bold, daring to call Qiao Nan a dog in public." When Zheng Feng heard Luo Ning say that Qiao Nan was a dog, he could not help but laugh and flip backwards.
"What, am I wrong? Qiao Nan is a dog after all. If not for his dead father, he wouldn't even have had the chance to give us four families to kneel and lick him." As Rhonin spoke, he deliberately raised his voice, causing everyone nearby to glance at him.
"What right does Luo Ning have to talk about Qiao Nan, and what right does he have to talk about Qiao Shuang? He's just a trash who relies on his family to eat and wait for death." The people nearby were all whispering to each other, afraid that they would be overheard.
"Brother Luo is right, the arrival of that bastard Qiao Nan has disturbed Sky Martial County, causing it to be in chaos. Everything has to be done, causing the clan's income to plummet, and our expenses will be reduced as well." When he mentioned Qiao Nan, Ma Yuanlong had an expression of anger as well.
Ever since Qiao Nan came, regardless of what kind of business it was, he wanted to get involved. Of course, there were a lot of properties that were already owned by the Heaven Martial Marquis, but they had all been taken by the Four Great Clans for a long time. Right now, Qiao Nan was just asking for it.
"It's a good thing that the Marquis is here. Let's not talk about the cancellation of the entry fee, the taxes on the various shops have also been reduced. Otherwise, who knows how much more we would have to pay to these families." All of them glared at him coldly, seemingly unsatisfied with the way they were criticizing Qiao Nan.
In the past, they had paid four sets of taxes, one set for each of the four families, but now they only needed to pay one set for the Heaven Martial Marquis Palace. Now, they only needed to pay three sets less, so they were naturally grateful to Qiao Nan.
Let me tell you, in Sky Martial County, he, Qiao Nan, cannot overturn the sky, and is still being controlled by the Four Great Clans. Rhonin stood up and said loudly to everyone.
"Hmph." Everyone scoffed at him. No one paid any attention to him.
"Coincidentally, just as I spoke of dogs, dogs came." Xiao Xing looked down and saw Qiao Nan coincidentally passing by.
"Greetings, Master Hou."
"Greetings, Master Hou." Along the way, everyone warmly greeted Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan also nodded. In the eyes of Rhonin and the others, this made their hearts burn with jealousy.
Their Four Great Clans had governed Tianwu County for so many years, but they had never received such treatment before. Why didn't Qiao Nan just come for a month and actually obtain everyone's hearts?
"Yo, who is this? Isn't this the Heaven Martial Marquis? Why don't you come up and take a seat when you're just passing by?" Luo Ning looked at Qiao Nan and raised her voice to say.
Qiao Nan raised his head and looked upstairs. There were four youths dressed in luxurious clothing sneering at him.
"Are you inviting me?" Qiao Nan intentionally asked.
"Do you think I'm talking to a dog?" Luo Ning's aura suddenly changed, her tone suddenly became strong, and she actually dared to call Qiao Nan a dog.
The corner of Qiao Nan's mouth curled into a smile, and he said: "Since the four puppies are inviting me, I'll go take a look." Qiao Nan intentionally ridiculed the four of them as mere puppies. Who was that old dog? Naturally, it went without saying.
"Hmph." Luo Ning snorted coldly and sat down, she did not expect Qiao Nan's words to be so sharp.
"Master Hou."
"Master Hou!"
Qiao Nan slowly walked up the stairs and everyone stood up to greet him. Qiao Nan responded with a "En" in return.
"Was it you who invited me just now? "Don't know where I should sit?" Qiao Nan walked to the front of the table with four people, the four of them sat on one side each, there were no seats for others.
"Hahahaha, Master Hou must be joking. Isn't it a bit crowded sitting here alone?" Xiao Xing's tone was not friendly and his face was full of ridicule. The other three looked at Qiao Nan with ridicule.
"So you're kidding me?" Qiao Nan's face suddenly changed, and the air around him turned cold.
These four were just minor characters in the family, yet they dared to provoke him? Did he do it himself, or was the person behind him interested in seeing Qiao Nan's attitude?
"Qiao Nan, since you know, then it's good that you know. It's best if you behave and become your Marquis of Heaven Martial Lord, otherwise, hmph, I'll let you go find your damned ghost old man."
'Bang! 'a crisp slap was heard. Before Rhonin could finish saying the word 'father', he felt a burning sensation on his face.
"Qiao Nan, you are courting death." After being suddenly slapped by Qiao Nan, Luo Ning immediately became angry, raising his hand to slap Qiao Nan, she wanted to return the slap to Qiao Nan.
"Hmph, you're courting death." Qiao Nan sneered, and then kicked out. Luo Ning Fist did not get to him yet, but Qiao Nan kicked him out, and he was sent flying out of the window on the second floor.
'Bang! 'A muffled sound of something hitting the ground was heard. Rhonin landed firmly on the ground.
"Do the three of you want to jump down yourself, or should I send you down?" Qiao Nan stared at the three of them coldly, causing their hearts to turn cold. Qiao Nan's gaze was too frightening, and a faint killing intent could be seen within the depths of his eyes.
"Qiao Nan, don't act recklessly, we are four great families."
"Pa, pa, pa!" Three crisp slaps sounded out. The three of them were actually thrown out of the restaurant with a single slap.
"Bang, bang, bang." Another three muffled sounds rang out. The three of them laid down beside Rhonin.
Idiot, don't tell me that I didn't know you were from the Four Great Families? I didn't just hit you in the face.
Qiao Nan coldly snorted in his heart. He was about to leave Tianwu County. Before he left, he wanted to frighten the four great families to the point where even if he left, he would not dare to make a move.
"Greetings, Master Hou." A fight had just broken out in the restaurant, and Tianwu City's city guards had already arrived. It was just that they did not expect the person fighting to be the Heaven Martial Marquis.
Right now, the army didn't have any trace of the Four Great Clans, they were all loyal to Qiao Nan.
"Seize four people, then hang the four corpses in the east, south, west, and north of the four marketplaces."
Since he was going to make a move, he had to hurt the four great families. The East, South, West, and North were the Four Great Markets cities, and were part of the Four Great Clans' property.
