Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1098 573: Testing the Waters Repeatedly

"Don't use that Jianghu bravado to intimidate . This is not a place where you can make trouble!"

The shop assistant spoke with a false bravado, and Gu Sheng coldly chuckled.

"For a re shop assistant at a clothing store to act so high-handedly, I suspect your shop doesn't want to stay open!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng flicked his wrist, his gaze changed, and a strand of Divine Power flew from his hand, coiling around the shop assistant's neck like a snake!

As Gu Sheng's hand pulled back slightly, the shop assistant's eyes widened imdiately.

In just a few seconds, his face turned pale and bluish, his eyes bulged as he struggled frantically, yet he couldn't grasp the invisible line strangling his neck!

Seeing him like this, Lan Yao felt imnsely satisfied.

"Serves you right! It's exactly people like you who deserve to be dealt with by Gu Sheng! Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper, get out here!"

Lan Yao shouted loudly, and others joined in as well.

Gu Sheng slightly loosened his grip, rely providing a bit of relief to the shop assistant but not letting him go.

Perhaps it was because the commotion was too loud, a woman dressed in blue soon walked out from the back of the shop.

Seeing the shop assistant in such a sorry state, her expression changed slightly.

"What are you gentlen doing? Bullying my people in my shop is a bit excessive, isn't it?"

Upon hearing her words, Gu Sheng coldly smirked.

"Your person looks down on others, speaking rudely to us right off the bat—is this how your shop treats custors?"

Having said that, Lan Yao nodded vigorously.

"Exactly, we just wanted to look at that piece of clothing, and he started speaking rudely, constantly belittling us and saying we're worthless. We haven't killed him as a favor to you!"

"So then, do you still want to protect your staff?"

After Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and spoke these words, the woman gave a cold glance at her subordinate.

"Is what they say true? Is this how you treat our shop's custors?"

Upon hearing her question, sweat dripped down the shop assistant's forehead, but with his life still in Gu Sheng's hands, he couldn't utter a single word even with a belly full of them.

Noticing his condition, the shopkeeper looked at Gu Sheng.

"Might the guest let him go first, so he can clarify the situation?"

Gu Sheng flicked his wrist, retracting the Divine Power, sending the shop assistant sprawling onto the ground, clutching his throat and coughing violently.

Seeing him like that, the shopkeeper stepped forward and kicked him.

"Don't pretend here, speak up!"

With the kick, the shop assistant imdiately clung to her leg.

"Shopkeeper, I'm innocent! These people ca in and imdiately eyed the most expensive garnt in our shop, wanting to take it down for a feel. From their shabby appearance, it's obvious they're ordinary Jianghu folks, how could I possibly let them have such an expensive garnt?"

Hearing his words, Gu Sheng let out a cold laugh.

"And then what? You demand us to pay first before we can even look at the clothes? Is this how your shop treats its custors?"

After speaking, Gu Sheng's gaze landed on the shopkeeper's face.

"Is this how you teach your staff to do their jobs?"

Being questioned like that, the shopkeeper felt her face burning with sha, imdiately kicking the shop assistant in the stomach out of frustration.

She used no restraint, and the shop assistant was unprepared; with the kick, he coughed up blood instantly.

However, the shopkeeper had no intention of letting him off, stepping forward and grabbing his hair, delivering several slaps to his face.

"When did my shop beco a place for you to call the shots? You're inherently lowly, learned to bully others in my shop, who gave you the right! Daring to defa my shop like this, you're getting out today!"

With a few slaps, the shop assistant's face swelled like a pig's head, covered in blood, making people not want to take a second look.

Yet even so, he continued to beg for rcy, unwilling to leave.

The shopkeeper seed to be getting annoyed, directly calling for her staff to throw him out.

Once the place quieted down, without even having a chance to speak again, soone rushed over to the shopkeeper and whispered sothing in her ear.

Hearing what her staff said, her expression changed subtly, whispering sothing back.

At this mont, Luochuan suddenly said quietly, "The man who ca earlier has the aura of Saint Ya, and seemingly... also of King Luo. But the aura is too faint; it's hard for to detect clearly."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng and the others exchanged glances.

They never expected to find news of Saint Ya just after arriving in Ping City.

Soon, the shopkeeper's assistant left, and the shopkeeper ca over with a smile once more.

"I'm truly sorry, it's my staff's ignorance that offended you. How about this, whatever you want to purchase today, I'll cover the costs. How does that sound?"

"No need, we're here to buy things and can pay for them ourselves."

After Lan Yao spoke, the shopkeeper offered a guilty smile.

"You must give a chance to express my apologies."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"If you want to express your apologies, how about sharing so information with us?"

"Information? What kind of information do you gentlen seek? We are just a small shop; we might not have anything you're looking for."

Seeing the flash of cunning in her eyes, Gu Sheng smiled.

"For a shopkeeper who can hold up such a store, you must have so capabilities. The information we seek shouldn't be too difficult for you."

"What do you want to know?"

"I want to know the purpose of those who shouldn't be here."
