Chapter 1736: Chapter 1735: When the Fierce ets the Wicked
The onlookers beca increasingly excited, feeling that the drama was becoming more and more intriguing.
Long Fei stared at them and raised his hand, saying, “Did everyone hear that? This shopkeeper’s words have been unreliable, so I’d like to ask you all to be witnesses. If he goes back on his word again, let’s take him to the City Lord’s Office and have the City Lord evaluate the situation for .”
“Don’t worry, we’ll testify for you.”
“Is your daughter really a descendant of the sin-blood?”
“Quickly show us her neck so we can see?”
“If your daughter isn’t a descendant of the sin-blood, we’ll definitely stand up for you!”
“…”
The crowd was raucous, all expressing their willingness to testify for Long Fei.
Long Fei coldly smiled at the shopkeeper, saying, “Originally, for sullying my daughter’s innocence, I should kill you. But our Celestial Mystery City is a place of reason, so I won’t kill you. You just need to kneel in front of my daughter and kowtow to apologize. When she forgives you, you can stop. If you agree to this, I will let everyone verify my daughter’s identity.”
The shopkeeper thumped his chest confidently, shouting, “You’re trying to provoke , false is false, it will never be true. I’ll make the wager with you, if you lose, I’ll drag this girl to the City Lord’s Office, and you have to kneel down and apologize to .”
“Alright!”
Long Fei raised his arm and called to a few won in the crowd, “Ladies, madams, please verify my daughter’s identity.”
The won nodded, imdiately stepped forward, and stood behind Little Nannan, pulling her collar open to carefully inspect her neck.
The shopkeeper craned his neck, his eyes fixed on the back of Little Nannan’s neck.
His heart skipped a beat, and he exclaid in surprise, “How, how is the sin-blood mark gone?”
The won carefully examined and turned to the crowd, saying, “This young girl is from an innocent family, there is no sin-blood mark.”
The crowd erupted in an uproar, cursing at the shopkeeper, “Shaless! How could you bully a little girl?”
“A swindler, you’ve sold your dignity to scam people.”
“Hurry up and kowtow to apologize!”
“Kneel quickly!”
“Kneel!”
“Kneel!”
“…”
The crowd joined in, shouting and glaring at the shopkeeper with an air of aggression.
The shopkeeper shouted urgently, “He must have used so thod to cover it up, I don’t believe it, I saw it with my own eyes!”
He attempted to move closer for a careful reexamination.
“Still dare to insult my daughter?”
Long Fei kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying, and his legs bent, causing him to kneel on the ground, his head slamming heavily onto the ground, creating a large pit.
This shopkeeper also possessed a Core Formation cultivation level.
Although he was at the Initial Stage of Core Formation, he was still a top-tier cultivator.
The onlookers were shocked, not expecting him to be so easily overpowered by Long Fei.
The Xiao Family Disciples stood in front, faces turning red with embarrassnt, unsure how to handle the situation.
Long Fei’s gaze swept over them, asking, “Are you also going to aid the wicked? Is the Xiao Family entirely made of people without integrity?”
The disciples’ mouths twitched, unable to retort.
From start to finish, it was the shopkeeper provoking and betting with them.
If they acted now, the Xiao Family’s reputation would be ruined.
Long Fei raised his hand, and with a swoosh, a Xiao Family disciple’s longsword flew into his grasp.
He pointed at the shopkeeper, furiously shouting, “For tarnishing my daughter’s purity, I ought to have you torn limb from limb. This is the Celestial Mystery Sect, I won’t make things difficult for you, I hope you abide by the bet. If you break the bet, don’t bla for being rciless and disrespecting the Xiao Family!”
The aura of killing intent boiled off him, chilling everyone around.
They all criticized the shopkeeper, saying he was too much of a bully, and if this happened to their daughters, they would also defend their daughter’s dignity at all costs.
The shopkeeper was tearful and at a loss, unable to find the words to justify himself!
Intimidated by Long Fei’s pressure, he was forced to kneel and kowtow to Little Nannan.
After a few kowtows, the blue stone bricks on the ground shattered into pieces.
The Xiao Family disciples watched silently, anger burning inside, but they restrained themselves from acting.
After all, they were in the wrong.
Little Nannan was a soft-hearted girl. Even though the shopkeeper bullied her monts ago, seeing his bleeding head, she couldn’t help but hurriedly say, “Forget it, I forgive you.”
The shopkeeper flopped onto the ground; it wasn’t voluntary kowtowing. Soone in the shadows was pressing him down.
Half of his skull had already cracked.
Long Fei raised his hand, returning the longsword to the Xiao Family disciple’s scabbard, and coldly addressed the shopkeeper, “My daughter is soft-hearted, sparing you. If you dare to slander others again, I’ll beat you every ti I see you.”
He pulled Little Nannan away with a domineering stride, leaving behind a crowd of onlookers, cheering and applauding.
“That’s how you should teach him a lesson.”
“See if you’ll still be a swindler!”
“See if you’ll bully others again!”
“t your match, didn’t you?”
“Karma!”
“…”
They harshly scolded the shopkeeper, feeling satisfied before dispersing.
The Xiao Family disciples speechlessly picked him up and took him back to report to the family.
He had brought such sha to the Xiao Family; not punishing him would be an insult to everyone who endured the humiliation with him.
On the way back to the Celestial Mystery Sect, the Lightning Bird erged from Long Fei’s sleeve, grinning mischievously, flattering, “Master, my admiration for you is like the ceaseless flow of Celestial Mystery Water, boundless! Your ability to turn black into white is truly astonishing!”
“This is called fighting evil with evil, do you understand?”
Long Fei gave it a sideways glance, then looked up at Little Nannan on his shoulder.
She sat there sorrowfully, mouth closed, saying nothing.
Long Fei asked her, “Nannan, what are you thinking? Are you unhappy because daddy didn’t kill that guy?”
Little Nannan shook her head, asking him, “Daddy, why do people hate the descendants of the sin-blood so much? We’re all human, and we haven’t done anything evil, so why are we treated this way?”
Long Fei sighed, comforting her, “You’re still young; you don’t understand the adult world yet. When you have the ability to vindicate the descendants of the sin-blood, then consider this question. Conceptual beliefs ingrained since ancient tis are not easily changed.”
Little Nannan nodded, taking a deep breath, determined, “Daddy is right. I’ll work hard on my cultivation. When I’ve developed enough skill, I will definitely clear the na for the descendants of the sin-blood!”
“Very good, I believe in you.”
Long Fei smiled, as they returned to the sect together.
Upon reaching the gate, they saw Jiang Hengshuo leading a group back on their swords.
Seeing Long Fei, they imdiately descended and greeted him respectfully.
Long Fei looked at them with a frown, “What happened? Why the rush?”
Jiang Hengshuo said, “We’re not entirely sure yet, but we heard there have been thefts in the city. In just two days, the Treasure Pavilions of all major families have been completely robbed. Master told us to return and assist our brothers from the City Defense Camp in catching the thief.”
“Hmm?”
Long Fei frowned deeply, feeling this situation seed quite familiar.
