Chapter 87: Petty

Several Family Elders, Qin Ming, and a group of others walked toward the Chen Family's shop.

Qin Ming conversed with the Elders, gaining a deeper understanding of the recent events concerning the Qin Family and the thoughts of the Qin Family members.

“Eldest Young Master, Elder, the shop the Chen Family lost to us is just ahead.”

A Qin Family disciple said:

“It's just that…”

“Just what?” Qin Ming asked, watching the Qin Family disciple stammer.

“It's just that the Chen Family smashed their own shop! Smashed it to pieces!”

The Qin Family disciple spoke cautiously.

He had originally thought Qin Ming would be angry, but Qin Ming showed no sign of rage, merely shaking his head and striding toward the shop.

“The Chen Family members are too petty!”

Looking at the shop before him, Qin Ming said in a deep voice.

The shop faintly showed signs of its former prosperity and spaciousness.

However, when the Chen Family members withdrew, they were clearly furious and smashed everything inside.

Not even a single intact wooden board remained.

“Brother, is this the shop the Chen Family handed over to us?” Qin Qing surveyed the area and commented:

“It's so ugly; it doesn't look nearly as good as the shop we just renovated.”

Indeed. The shop was filled with garbage and emitted waves of foul odor. Clearly, this destruction was intentionally caused by the Chen Family members.

Their sole purpose was to disgust them.

“It doesn't matter!” Qin Ming said, looking at the shop before him:

“No matter how dilapidated this shop is, as long as the location is here, that's fine. I didn't want the contents inside; I only wanted the location.”

For a shop, the most crucial factor is the geographical location, followed by size, and lastly, the interior layout.

As long as the location and size haven't changed, everything else is irrelevant.

“The Chen Family is going too far. They were the ones who proposed the competition, and now that they've lost, they do such disgusting things. They clearly can't handle losing.”

A Qin Family member said indignantly.

What the Chen Family members did caused no substantial loss to the Qin Family, merely requiring some time and Spirit Stones.

This dilapidated shop was more of an insult to the Qin Family.

“Enough.” Qin Ming waved his hand and said: “Forget it. It's normal for the Chen Family to vent their anger after losing a shop. We don't need to dwell on it.”

After Qin Ming's reassurance, the Qin Family members finally stabilized their emotions somewhat.

“Send people to take over quickly and clean all this up.

It would be best to hire some manpower. I suspect the other shops are the same.”

Qin Ming said.

“Yes, Eldest Young Master!”

The Qin Servant replied.

Nodding, Qin Ming pulled Qin Qing and started walking back.

He had no interest in seeing the other shops.

He didn't value these things, which represented the Qin Family's foundation.

Now, he had to return to the Qin Family, refine some Medicinal Pills, and enhance the hard power of both the Qin Family and himself. Only this was the true core of the Qin Family.

Moreover, Qin Ming needed to practice his own Spirit Skills.

Now that the enemies' strength was increasing, relying solely on quick eyes and fast hands was no longer enough.

In his previous life, his Spirit Skill Cultivation was mediocre, merely superficial.

In this life, he planned to properly practice several Spirit Skills.

He had already decided to focus on hand techniques.

In his previous life, he practiced Sword Techniques, but in this life, due to the Primordial Chaos Technique, his body was indestructible.

Fist-type and palm-type Spirit Skills were more suitable for him.

If his hand techniques were mastered, they would be no weaker than Sword Techniques or similar skills.

Hands are more flexible than swords after all, and if he wore a good pair of gauntlets, it would be even more advantageous.
