Just as Wang Xiaoqiang was filled with a murderous intent, the Young City Lord, Young Lord Wen, bowed respectfully and courteously to Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue, saying, "This is truly a misunderstanding like flooding the Dragon King Temple. I must apologize, my friends. Boss Feng was confused and didn't understand my intentions, disturbing your al. Truly, my apologies..."
With Wang Xiaoqiang's keen eyes, how could he not see the malicious intent of this Young City Lord? However, it was clear that this Young City Lord was no fool. When confronted with a beautiful woman, instead of being crude, he understood the tactics of luring without pressure, showing that he possessed so wit and scheming.
Since he started looking for the Grim Reaper, Wang Xiaoqiang had been adhering to the principle of not exposing himself. Seeing the Young City Lord act this way, his anger subsided a bit, and he said, "No problem."
Young Lord Wen gestured for Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue to sit, saying, "Please have a seat. This al is on , as a way of apologizing to both of you."
Chang Xiuyue shook her head, unwilling to sit. Seeing this, Young Lord Wen bowed to them again, saying, "Please, don't worry about sitting. We won't disturb you. We'll go upstairs..."
After saying this, Young Lord Wen turned and walked upstairs. The woman and four little followers shot a slightly surprised glance at Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue, then followed him.
This was beyond everyone's expectations; not only were Boss Feng and Young Lord Wen's followers surprised, but the entire hall of guests was also astonished,
Young Lord Wen, the notorious local tyrant, often engaged in bullying and harassnt, relying on his father's position as the City Lord, having done all sorts of evil deeds,
especially when he saw a beautiful woman, Young Lord Wen wouldn't let her pass. He would use all ans to get what he wanted, employing despicable and cruel thods.
But today, his behavior was exceedingly abnormal. Earlier, he clearly fancied that beautiful woman, and it was obvious these two diners were outsiders. Their cultivation base was insufficient to rival Young Lord Wen, who could easily have taken the woman, yet he chose not to bother them and even apologized and offered them a al.
This was too abnormal.
Even Chang Xiuyue was slightly surprised, but Wang Xiaoqiang showed no such reaction. He forcefully seated Chang Xiuyue and then said to Boss Feng, "Boss, I want to change the dishes..."
Boss Feng imdiately complied, "Yes, what dishes would this Young Hero like to change to?"
"I want your inn's best dishes," Wang Xiaoqiang said.
Wang Xiaoqiang's words surprised everyone, and the eyes of the entire hall of diners were fixated on him with a peculiar expression.
Thinking to themselves, "This person is so greedy; the mont he hears soone's willing to treat, he imdiately wants to change the dishes, and to the best ones in the inn."
However, being overly greedy could lead to dire consequences, and it might choke you in the end.
Young Lord Wen's four followers glared fiercely at Wang Xiaoqiang when they heard him ask to change dishes, while Young Lord Wen only showed a sly smile.
"Little Qiang, why do you want to change the dishes?" Chang Xiuyue asked; she didn't want to eat Young Lord Wen's treat, as Young Lord Wen's earlier gaze made her nauseous.
"If soone's treating, why not eat well? Haha..." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed joyfully, seemingly carefree and unbothered.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang act this way, the guests in the hall looked at him with increasingly strange expressions, their eyes carrying a hint of mockery and disdain, and a touch of schadenfreude.
On the surface, Young Lord Wen seed like a gentle scholar, but in reality, he was a villain full of violent intentions. This Young City Lord was not only evil but also very stingy, known as a penny-pincher,
so how could his treat be that good?
Most likely, you will have to pay it all back with interest in the end. And a cultivator at Immortal Emperor Level with a stunning woman, it all seed a little too much like lambs to the slaughter.
After hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's comnt, Young Lord Wen's smile grew wider, a smile of amusent.
Soon, the inn's best dishes were served. Although it was a fairly ordinary inn, the best dishes were quite good, with lavish food and a few pots of fine wine.
Wang Xiaoqiang ate and drank heartily and quietly said to Chang Xiuyue, "Rest assured and eat, nothing will happen. That foolish young master won't just treat us to a al but will also invite us to his ho later..."
"What?" Chang Xiuyue's heart skipped a beat. In a slightly fearful tone, she lowered her voice and said, "Then we certainly cannot go, Little Qiang, can't you see his malicious intent?"
"Of course, I can see it. Don't worry; I have my plans. You've followed for so long; don't you trust yet?" Wang Xiaoqiang patted Chang Xiuyue's fragrant shoulder and said.
He knew Chang Xiuyue had a gentle nature. Though she was the granddaughter of the Domain Lord, she lacked the assertiveness and dominance of a lady of her status, even showing so timidity, never crossing others. Therefore, even knowing that this Young City Lord was not Wang Xiaoqiang's match, the Martial World was treacherous, and she had so concerns, fearing for his safety as she valued him greatly.
"Sigh." With Wang Xiaoqiang's reassuring pat, Chang Xiuyue felt slightly at ease. She feared Wang Xiaoqiang might not discern the other party's malicious intent and fall into their trap. Since he had seen through it and was prepared, she wasn't afraid anymore.
Just as they were about to leave the inn, satisfied with their al, Young Lord Wen ca rushing down from upstairs with his woman and four followers. Bowing, he said to Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue, "Did you enjoy your al?"
Wang Xiaoqiang intentionally said, "Uh, it was alright, though the quality of the dishes was a bit lacking... but no worries, thank you for treating us, kind brother..."
"Oh? Such words! In this vast sea of humanity, with billions of people, eting is a destiny. Moreover, I felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing Young Hero. May I ask for your esteed na...?" Young Lord Wen was only trying to establish a connection with Wang Xiaoqiang, completely disregarding Chang Xiuyue, projecting the image of a chivalrous gentleman like Liu Xiang Hui.
Wang Xiaoqiang casually made up a na, saying, "My surna is Gao, and my na is Dakuan. And what, may I ask, is the kind brother's na?"
Young Lord Wen had already noted Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue were not locals. Since they were not locals, they naturally wouldn't know his bad reputation. So he didn't hide it and directly introduced himself, "I am Young Lord Wen."
"Ah, Brother Wen, thank you for the food and drink. If fate allows, I will certainly invite Brother Wen for a al in return..." Wang Xiaoqiang said, giving a slight bow, "Farewell then."
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang about to leave, Young Lord Wen seed sowhat anxious and quickly grabbed Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, saying, "Oh, Brother Dakuan, we hit it off imdiately. I truly hope you won't leave, that we won't beco strangers forgotten in the Martial World. If there's no objection, how about coming over to my place for a cup of tea?"
Young Lord Wen portrayed the image of a cultured intellectual with this eloquent speech, actually capable of deceiving people, leaving the whole hall of diners stunned. They thought to themselves that Young Lord Wen's acting skills had indeed reached a certain level.
Human nature is inherently kind, and while admiring Young Lord Wen's acting skills, everyone was also secretly worried for Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue, fearing they would accept Young Lord Wen's invitation, which would truly be walking into a trap. Previously, there had been many such instances of beautiful young girls being tricked by Young Lord Wen back to his ho, never to be seen again, their fates unknown.
Just as everyone was holding their breath, Wang Xiaoqiang, however, happily stated, "Since Brother Wen is so sincere, then I must respectfully accept."
