Qin Yu frowned. "Master Xuli, I never said that."
"You didn't say it, but that's what you meant. I may be old, Xuli, but I'm not an idiot," Xuli said coldly.
"What you think is your own business. The City Construction Department is demolishing this shop today in full accordance with the laws of the Empire. Does Master Xuli believe his seniority puts him above the law?"
Qin Yu was fuming inside, seeing Xuli ruin his plans.
He was a scion of the prestigious Qin family. If it were Master Li Xu or someone of that caliber, he might have yielded. But he knew Xuli's status all too well. On paper, Xuli was the Shopkeeper of the Artifact Refining Workshop's pavilion, but in reality, he was merely a nominal disciple of Master Lu Li. Others might fear him, but Qin Yu, who had been arrogant his whole life, wasn't the least bit intimidated.
Qin Yu's attitude infuriated Xuli.
Even the Patriarch of the Qin family would have to treat him with respect. This Qin Yu truly didn't know his place.
