Chapter 508: I Want to Disgrace Him
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The people in Nanfeng Pavilion were all rather embarra.s.sed when they saw the martial artists and other onlookers next door.
In fact, both sides were embarra.s.sed.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant reacted very quickly. Orders were given for several people to throw the “body” back through the hole, and then he made amends to all the guests. He announced that he would get someone to repair the hole immediately and asked the guests not to panic and continue to eat.
Remaining calm, he asked someone to take a wooden board to cover up the hole lest the miasma from next door ruined the business of their store!
Over at the Nanfeng Pavilion.
A group of guards appeared out of nowhere. First, they checked if the “body” was breathing and ascertained that the man was not dead for the time being. He had likely just fainted. After carrying the man away, the other guests went back to sitting down and enjoying themselves after they recovered from the initial shock of the situation.
“Y-you’ve gone mad!” Qi Qingyao blinked a few times before finally returning to her senses. She could not help staring at the large hole in the wall that had been sealed up from the other side.
“I think you’re the one who has gone mad!” This woman did not even retaliate after being felt up the shoulder by a pervert, let alone have her face touched! There was something very wrong with this woman!
Li Ruoxuan’s eyes were covered with a layer of frost and his gaze was steely.
Qi Qingyao frowned and was about to explain something when a man in his thirties dressed in blue came down from upstairs with a particularly displeased smile. He strode over to them with large steps.
He looked over the two before his gaze finally fell on Li Ruoxuan. He said with a smile, “This…gentleman with an eye patch. You damaged my shop and disrupted my business tonight. How should I calculate this debt?”
This man was the shopkeeper of the Nanfeng Pavilion. Li Ruoxuan had met him once at a banquet organized by a minister in their home. He remembered him, but the other could not recognize him because of the eye patch. Li Ruoxuan did not bother kicking up a fuss and said, “Do what you need to do.”
Feng Yucheng said solemnly, “I’ve seen the situation. That man has half a breath left in him, I’m afraid he won’t make it.”
Qi Qingyao’s heart dropped. The boss did not know Li Ruoxuan’s ident.i.ty, but she did. She was afraid that the madman would go crazy and kill the boss too. If the boss of the Nanfeng Pavilion were to die, she would not be leaving the establishment tonight. With that in mind, Qi Qingyao hurriedly tried to mediate the situation.
“I’m sorry, boss, my friend did not do it on purpose. It was only because I was being hara.s.sed that he took action.”
She put on an ‘all is well’ smile and said, “How about this, I’ll compensate for whatever happened just now, just name your price!”
“That man can no longer live.” Feng Yucheng glanced at the rather pretty young man coldly.
The moment she heard that statement, Qi Qingyao immediately cut in and said, “I’m only paying for the hole. Whether that person lives or not has nothing to do with me! I’m not the one who did it!”
Feng Yucheng’s gaze turned back to the man with the eye patch. “Then, this gentleman with the eye patch, are you going to take responsibility?”
“Alright, I will.” The smile on Li Ruoxuan’s face was chilling.
Qi Qingyao felt that something was wrong.
Li Ruoxuan said, “Bring him over.”
Feng Yucheng ordered some people to carry over the casualty. The injured man was barely alive and he looked like he would have to be bedridden for a year and a half at the very least.
Li Ruoxuan came forward and crouched down silently.
Then he twisted the man’s neck without any change in expression.
Crack!
There was a sharp sound.
The scene suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Li Ruoxuan got up with his arms crossed and said, “Alright, now he’s dead. There’s nothing for me to be responsible for.”
All the guests and servers in the Nanfeng Pavilion witnessed this scene and immediately thought that this man was insane.
He must not be from Capital City.
That was the only explanation as to why he could do something like this that would land him on the road of no return.
Everyone knew that the Nanfeng Pavilion was backed by the Qilin Administration and the Zhaixing Administration of the Ghost Organization. Even martial artists would be killed if they misbehave here!
Feng Yucheng did not expect the man to dare to break the neck of a guest of the Nanfeng Pavilion so openly. He was basically looking for death. Once their people stealthily identified the man, he would send someone to kill him in order to maintain the reputation of the Nanfeng Pavilion. On the surface, however, he did not wish to create more trouble that night and promptly got someone to carry the body down.
Then, with a sullen expression, he said, “Master, our establishment does not welcome you, please leave!”
Li Ruoxuan turned to Qi Qingyao and said, “Let’s go!”
His tone was light.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Qi Qingyao sighed as she held her forehead.
“Sheesh, you ruined the fun I had been looking forward to from the Nanfeng Pavilion! How boring!”
…
“Your Excellency, I saw the State Preceptor.” Zhao Xin was alert as soon as he entered and had immediately looked to where the man with the eyepatch was. He quickly pointed out the direction to Jiang Yeqian!
Jiang Yeqian followed Zhao Xin’s finger and immediately spotted the young man with an eye patch standing there with a solemn face. There was a pet.i.te young man next to him! It seemed that there were also several people standing opposite them. Jiang Yeqian recognized one of them as the shopkeeper of the Nanfeng Pavilion, Feng Yucheng.
The atmosphere was somewhat nasty!
Jiang Yeqian walked over in large strides and asked bluntly, “What is going on here?”
Qi Qingyao was about to leave with Li Ruoxuan when they ended up b.u.mping into a man wearing a silver mask. The mask was unfamiliar but the person beside him was not. Qi Qingyao and Li Ruoxuan instantly knew who the man was.
She was stunned. “Why are you here?”
Jiang Yeqian glanced over at the two, his expression restrained beneath the mask. He repeated, “What happened?”
Qi Qingyao shrugged, looking indifferent as she explained, “It’s been settled. We were just leaving.”
Feng Yucheng had initially intended to look into the ident.i.ty of the man with the eye patch in private but a few seconds later, a man wearing a silver mask appeared in his shop. This man also looked extraordinary.
He was curious.
‘First a gentleman with an eye patch, now another with a mask. Tonight has been very interesting.’
Jiang Yeqian pointed at the man with the eye patch and asked Feng Yucheng in a leisurely manner, “Shopkeeper Feng, do you really not recognize the person in front of you?”
Feng Yucheng, ???
This masked man knew him?
Had he patronized the store before?
What did he mean? Should he know this eyepatched man?
Hold on, could the eyepatch man have purposefully worn the accessory and that he was actually an acquaintance?
Jiang Yeqian timely supplied, “You’ve even met him before.”
Feng Yucheng, ????
He could not help but scrutinize the eyepatch man.
Li Ruoxuan knew that Jiang Yeqian was doing this on purpose. He wanted everyone to know that the State Preceptor had come to a place like this and wanted to disgrace him!
“Jiang, you better hold your tongue!”
Li Ruoxuan snarled and pulled Qi Qingyao as they walked out. “Let’s go!”
His curiosity piqued, Feng Yucheng immediately stopped the two from leaving.
Jiang Yeqian said deliberately, “Shopkeeper Feng, the State Preceptor just killed someone here, could it be that you still wish to interrogate him?”
Feng Yucheng’s pupils contracted into a thin line in an instant.
Then, his entire body retreated as if it were a conditioned reflex.
“He… State Preceptor…”
Ah.
Why did the State Preceptor come to Nanfeng Pavilion?
Had the State Preceptor gone mad, or was everything that happened tonight just a dream?
Feng Yucheng could not comprehend what was happening.
Qi Qingyao cradled her forehead and stared at Jiang Yeqian. She did not understand what Jiang Yeqian was planning by stirring things up!
They could have left by now, but he seemed to be planning something…
