Upon hearing this obviously insincere answer, a frosty expression appeared on the man’s face. He stared at Chen Chao intently, looking at this young man dressed in black, and said in a cold voice, “I wanted to buy the honey dates with good intentions, yet you poke fun at me like this. Do you really treat me as a clay idol? That I don’t have any anger?”
In an extremely short period of time, many thoughts arose in his mind. Finally, his gaze fell on Chen Chao’s official boots and he realized that he was a military official of the Great Liang Dynasty. This sparked a sense of contempt and disdain in him. If he were a foreign cultivator, he might have been more wary. But if the other party was just a military official of the Great Liang Dynasty, then he could not care less about such matters.
A measly military official of the Great Liang Dynasty. No matter how amazing he was, what was so special?
Chen Chao looked at him and said with a smile, “Aren’t business transactions always like this? When you make an offer to buy something, there’s a possibility of either acquiring it or not. The price I want is something you can’t afford, so naturally, the transaction couldn’t be completed. Since it couldn’t be completed, what more is there to say? You can’t accuse me of poking fun at you just because I didn’t sell the honey dates to you, right? “The girl next to you wants to eat honey dates, so you’re willing to pay three skygold coins to buy them. Similarly, I want to bring the honey dates back for the girl I like to eat, so naturally it’s equally important.”
He spoke slowly with a calm and even tone. There was naturally no trace of fear in his words. He appeared very indifferent when facing this foreign cultivator.
The man angrily said, “I’ve come from afar. Is this how your Great Liang Dynasty treats me?”
Chen Chao furrowed his brows and said, “Isn’t it just two bags of honey dates? How did it become such a big deal in your words?”
The man let out a cold laugh and was about to speak, but the woman who had been silent the entire time said rather impatiently, “What are you still talking rubbish with him for? Hand over the honey dates!”
She had been silent all along, but now she could not hold back anymore. There was mostly annoyance between her eyebrows when she spoke.
Seeing that the woman already looked displeased, the man also did not want to talk any more nonsense. He said coldly, “Leave the honey dates behind! Otherwise, you know the consequences!”
Chen Chao lowered his head and looked at the honey dates in his hand. He said rather despondently, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone trying to steal honey dates. Do you foreign cultivators not even have enough to eat day-to-day?”
Upon hearing this, laughter broke out around them. It came from the Divine Capital’s common people who were still waiting to buy honey dates. When the shop assistant of the honey dates store looked at this scene, he suddenly persuaded, “Sir, since you have two bags of honey dates, why not give up one bag to avoid trouble?”
The shop assistant had already seen through that those two were foreign cultivators, yet he still had not backed down. Now that he spoke up again, he was worried that Chen Chao would suffer. It did not seem worth offending foreign cultivators over a bag of honey dates.
Chen Chao smiled and actually had a rather favorable impression of the honey dates store’s shop assistant. Just from the way he faced the foreign cultivator earlier without any fawning, Chen Chao knew that he was more impressive than many people in the Great Liang Dynasty. To be honest, many young people from the Great Liang Dynasty whom Chen Chao had encountered in the Divine Capital had disappointed him. Their attitude towards foreign cultivators had left Chen Chao dissatisfied. However, the behavior of this shop assistant gave Chen Chao a favorable impression of this Divine Capital.
Among the onlooking civilians in the distance, someone mustered up the courage to shout, “Young man, give up one bag. Why bring trouble upon yourself over a bag of honey dates?”
Hearing the clamoring voices and sensing the goodwill of the people, Chen Chao shook his head and said softly, “It’s not just about a bag of honey dates.”
After saying this, Chen Chao looked at the man and asked, “I won’t give you the honey dates. What will you do?”
The man said indifferently, “I know you’re an official of the Great Liang Dynasty, which is why you’re so confident. But with your status, if you want to scare ordinary people, it’s fine. However, as a disciple of Old Pine Mountain, how could I fear you?”
Hearing the three words “Old Pine Mountain,” Chen Chao furrowed his brows slightly. Indeed, there were disciples of Old Pine Mountain listed in the name list that Song Lian had given him. Old Pine Mountain was a qi refiner sect in the northern region, and it had some reputation among qi refiner sects. However, in the world of foreign cultivators, the southern qi refiner lineage had always been suppressing the northern lineage in terms of both the number of cultivators and the number of sects.
Old Pine Mountain could barely be considered a second-rate sect among the foreign cultivator sects.
It was not considered a major sect, but it was enough for the Great Liang Dynasty to treat them seriously.
Chen Chao smiled and said, “Never mind whether I am an official of the imperial court or not. Today’s matter is you being unreasonable in the first place. What can you do about it?”
The man sneered, “Why should I bother with being reasonable as I travel the world?
In fact, this was the true essence of the matter. Why would foreign cultivators need to be reasonable when they travel the world, especially within the territory of the Great Liang Dynasty. They have always acted based on their mood. This was especially true in the Divine Capital. If it were elsewhere, they would have already resorted to violence and killing.
It was only in the Divine Capital that they showed some restraint.
Seeing that Chen Chao had no response, the woman’s face became frosty. The man finally said, “Hand over the honey dates!”
After saying these words, he started walking towards Chen Chao, his aura surging with qi. He was already preparing to attack.
Chen Chao carried the two bags of honey dates and tilted his head slightly.
Take it as exercising his body.
In an instant, the man had already arrived in front of him. However, before he could make a move, the young man in black had already thrown a punch towards his chest. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Just a moment later, he watched helplessly as the fist landed on his chest.

He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily at the end of the street.
The woman screamed and scolded angrily, “Do you know what you’re doing?!”
As she spoke, her figure moved slightly, gathering qi, already charging toward Chen Chao fiercely.
Chen Chao was expressionless as he met her while carrying two bags of honey dates.
Very casually.
After just a moment, the woman was also sent flying, landing right beside the man.
For a moment, the street fell silent.
Regardless of whether was it the honey dates shop assistant who spoke earlier or the onlooking civilians at the back, everyone was now quiet. They just looked at the young man in black.
How could they have seen such a scene before? After those foreign cultivators entered the Divine Capital, they caused trouble in the Divine Capital more than once. But every time, the situation was quickly resolved and the incidents were trivialized. Virtually no one dared to do anything to these foreign cultivators.
But today, just because of two bags of honey dates, two foreign cultivators were taken care of right here. Although the situation seemed rather ridiculous, it was the first time in these days that the foreign cultivators were being dealt with.
Thinking up to here, there was some satisfaction in their eyes.
Not far away, the Left Guard constables who were rushing over stopped far away. After seeing the young man in black in the center of the street, they just exchanged a glance and silently turned around, heading towards another street in tacit agreement.
