Chapter 1498
It had completely darkened outside, and the rain and wind had intensified. From time to time, there was the sound of thunder rumbling.
Wang Chen had just finished drinking a jar of aged daughter red, and the tables in the inn lobby were already occupied. After him, several groups of guests arrived, keeping the few shop assistants busy.
But that wasn’t all.
Crack!
With a loud noise like thunder, the inn door was forcefully pushed open again, and a group of ruffians stormed in, braving the rain.
There were more than ten of them, most of them dressed in martial attire with swords and knives, and one young man in white stood out.
A middle-aged man with a gloomy face and an old man with white hair and beard guarded the young man on either side.
The sudden intrusion of this group of people made the lively and noisy inn lobby suddenly become quiet.
Few of the people sitting here are rookies, and everyone can tell at a glance that there is something special about this group of people.
They are menacing, and everyone carries a murderous aura. Several of them must have been injured, and they give off the smell of medicinal ointments.
The handsome young man is clearly the core of this group.
The dark-faced middle-aged man can be seen asking the innkeeper behind the counter, 鈥淚nnkeeper, do you have any more rooms?鈥�
The innkeeper smiled bitterly and said, 鈥淚’m really sorry, guest, but it’s full.鈥�
The middle-aged man frowned and said, 鈥淐an’t you spare even one room?鈥�
The innkeeper smiled apologetically and said, 鈥淭here really aren’t any left.鈥�
The middle-aged man immediately slapped down a large ingot of silver and said, 鈥淭hink again!鈥�
While he was negotiating with the innkeeper, the young man in white glanced around, his gaze first passing over Wang Chen and then settling on Wang Zhenzhen.
His eyes brightened slightly.
The young man in white coughed lightly, straightened his clothes a little, then walked up to Wang Chen and respectfully bowed with his hands clasped in front of him: 鈥淭his elder, I am Qingfengshan Zhao Haiming. May I join you at your table?鈥�
He had a smile on his lips, and his posture and movements were quite dashing, very much the style and bearing of a noble young man of the world.
While asking Wang Chen, the young man glanced at Wang Zhenzhen in the corner of his eye.
As a result, Wang Zhenzhen buried her head in her meat, completely wasting his gesture.
Wang Chen replied indifferently, 鈥淣o.鈥�
The young man in white was stunned.
He had even mentioned his master’s name, but Wang Chen simply ignored him as if he had never heard of him before.
Zhao Haiming recovered his composure, gave an awkward smile, and barely maintained his composure, 鈥淪orry, I’m sorry.鈥�
But the trace of resentment in his eyes did not escape Wang Chen’s discerning eyes.
Just as Zhao Haiming turned to leave, Wang Chen suddenly asked his daughter, 鈥淶hen’er, do you know why your father doesn’t agree to let this person join the table?鈥�
His voice was not loud, but everyone in the inn’s lobby could hear him clearly.
Wang Zhenzhen shook her head: 鈥淒aughter doesn’t know, why?鈥�
Wang Chen smiled and said, 鈥淏ecause this person has evil intentions.鈥�
Zhao Haiming, who had just taken a few steps, trembled all over, and his handsome face instantly turned red.
Wang Zhenzhen tilted her head to the side and asked curiously, 鈥淲hy do you say that?鈥�
She really couldn’t see it.
Wang Chen patiently pointed out, 鈥淵ou see how menacing this group looks, but everyone is injured and exhausted. Most likely they are being chased by their enemies and are on the run.鈥�
鈥淚f they were good people, they would never involve innocent bystanders in their own feuds.鈥�
鈥淪o now he’s asking us to share a table, which means he’s up to no good!鈥�
Puff!
Suddenly, the laughter of a certain guest in the inn lobby could not be suppressed.
Zhao Haiming’s face instantly turned from red to purple, and his hands trembled slightly involuntarily.
His companions were furious, and some even drew their weapons immediately, making the atmosphere in the lobby more tense.
Wang Zhenzhen, however, seemed unaware of the situation and continued to ask with wide eyes like an ordinary innocent girl: 鈥淒addy, then why did he pick on us instead of someone else?鈥�
鈥淏ecause other people can’t be fooled at first glance, and there are only the two of us, you and I, and you’re a newcomer to the world,”
Wang Chen explained. 鈥業t’s easy to drag the two of us into the water, and he must still want to take advantage of you.鈥�
Wang Chen’s voice echoed through the inn, adding a touch of embarrassment and awkwardness to the atmosphere.
More than one person snickered.
In fact, basically everyone present could see what Zhao Haiming was trying to do.
But it is the rule of the underworld not to reveal what you know, so who could have expected Wang Chen to publicly humiliate Zhao Haiming in order to give his daughter advice?
Yes, this is blatant humiliation!
Zhao Haiming’s face was as red as a soy sauce shop, purple and black, and he was shaking with anger.
The white-haired old man beside him finally couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately roared, 鈥淗ow dare you!鈥�
He was about to go up to Wang Chen to show him who was in charge, but Zhao Haiming blocked him.
The young hero of Qingfeng Mountain took a long breath and forced a smile: 鈥淚 didn’t realize that you had such a deep misunderstanding of the younger generation. I was presumptuous.鈥�
His appearance of holding his tongue and swallowing his anger aroused the sympathy of some people.
They felt that Wang Chen’s humiliation was really a bit excessive.
However, Wang Chen commented, 鈥淶hen’er, look, one plays the black face and the other the red face. Isn’t this a good performance?鈥�
鈥淗ahaha!鈥�
This time, many people couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Because the expressions on the old man with white hair and Zhao Haiming’s face were exactly the same as Wang Chen had said, it was really a bit funny.
鈥滿ay I ask your name and title?鈥�
At this time, the middle-aged man strode forward in front of Wang Chen, blocking Zhao Haiming’s line of sight while sternly questioning, 鈥楧o you have a grudge with our Qingfeng Mountain?鈥�
鈥滻 haven’t heard of any Qingfeng Mountain.鈥�
Wang Chen lifted his wine bowl and replied indifferently, 鈥淚f you don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with you. If you look for trouble, don’t blame me for the shame.鈥�
The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he immediately clenched his five fingers into a claw and grabbed Wang Chen with lightning speed.
As a result, before his talons even touched Wang Chen, he was struck by lightning, and he instantly flew backwards.
First, he crashed into the unprepared Zhao Haiming, and then he tumbled into a pile with a group of followers!
The army was in disarray.
And no one present, except Wang Zhenzhen, could see clearly how Wang Chen had made his move.
But they were certain that Wang Chen was definitely a master who could not be trifled with!
The white-haired old man, who had not been affected, was dumbfounded and said in a trembling voice, 鈥淶ong, the master?鈥�
Who else but a master of innate talent could have such amazing skills?
Wang Chen drained the bowl of yellow wine in one gulp, then spat out one word: 鈥淕et lost.鈥�
The white-haired old man trembled, and involuntarily took two steps back, his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears overflowing with crimson blood.
He pulled Zhao Haiming up from the ground and whispered, 鈥淟et’s go.鈥�
The group came in a menacing manner, but left in a dismal state.
