Chapter 229: The Shopkeeper Arrives
But Gu Heng felt that no matter what, this matter was bound to be somewhat troublesome.
This guy clearly isn't going to let this go.
If he resorts to violence, they will definitely suffer losses. First of all, this young man in silver robes looks like he has quite a background. How could he not have some kind of identity or background to be an arrogant and domineering playboy in the capital?
Furthermore, this guy is a cultivator; it's hard to say how strong he is.
If it were the kind of weakling he encountered in the deep valley, a single throw of poison would have been enough to kill him.
Gu Heng also felt that even if this silver-robed youth was a cultivator, he wouldn't be that powerful. He was too young, seemed to be quite playful, and lacked composure. His behavior and mannerisms didn't resemble those of a genius; rather, he seemed like a mediocre talent whose limelight had been stolen by others.
But he really didn't want things to escalate to that point.
This is the capital city, and this is happening in public.
However, before he could think of a way to avert this dangerous conflict, Qin Yiyao crossed her hands and rubbed them back and forth, making a crisp popping sound between her knuckles.
Qin Yiyao glanced indifferently at the young man in the silver shirt, then at the two female companions beside him, her eyes filled with even more mockery.
"A weak and feeble-blooded spoiled brat with no real skills wants to spar with me?"
"Come on, let me teach you what manners are."
She said it casually.
The young man in silver was once again questioned, and his face grew even more somber.
Gu Heng patted his head, thinking to himself, "Forget it. Anyway, this person started it with the foul language. There's no point in trying to smooth things over. This person is clearly looking for trouble. Even Gu Heng didn't expect the little girl to be so sharp-tongued."
"You brat, it looks like I'll have to pull your tongue out."
As he spoke, he immediately approached step by step, but Qin Yiyao showed no sign of backing down.
Her palm slowly opened, her bones creaking. Knowing that another fierce battle was about to break out in the restaurant, the patrons all retreated further away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Seeing that conflict was unavoidable, Gu Heng simply shielded Qin Yiyao behind him.
"Get behind."
He didn't want the little girl to face it alone, after all, Gu Heng himself had already mastered the "body tempering" skill to a high level and was very resilient!
"You dare to play the hero?"
Upon seeing a mortal blocking the path of a Nascent Soul cultivator, trying to play the hero, the silver-robed youth immediately laughed. Such behavior was truly rare; only the most foolish person could do something like that. And fools didn't deserve to live.
Just as he raised his hand, about to strike out with a palm.
"stop."
At the critical moment, a clear and indifferent voice fell in the lobby.
The patrons were all taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.
Alright, the person in charge has arrived.
It seems there won't be any good shows tonight.
Many patrons had expected a fight tonight that would provide some laughs and fodder for conversation, but since she had already spoken up, that was no longer possible.
Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao turned to their right and saw a beautiful woman in a black dress, with an extraordinary air about her, slowly walking down the stairs leading to the second floor.
Her smiles and frowns were measured, yet she maintained her dignity.
Upon her appearance, the hall immediately fell silent. Even the young man in silver robes showed an expression of displeasure yet helplessness before concealing his aura.
The ten stages of the fusion period.
Qin Yiyao could tell her cultivation level.
All the guests who come to "Yunxianglou" to drink are cultivators, as are the maids who greet them in the lobby. This one is even more important. It is unknown whether she is the manager of Yunxianglou or his lover. Although she is not as important as her master, this is still quite a grand gesture.
"I had hoped for a peaceful night."
"Unexpectedly, life just won't be peaceful for a moment."
The beautiful woman sighed, her gaze sweeping around the hall before finally settling on the young man in the silver robe.
“Young Master Yanfeng, my Yunxiang Pavilion is a small business, and we rely on your good reputation to maintain our revenue. But every time you come, something goes wrong, which is very difficult to handle.”
Her tone was slightly reproachful. The silver-clad youth, called Yan Feng, flashed resentment and immediately said, "Hmph, I had a disagreement with this brat, and you, Manager Liu, had to come and interfere? Is this how you do business?"
It's clear he's very dissatisfied.
"Alas, Your Highness, I have never asked anyone to teach me business before. You shouldn't do that either. Besides, you should be careful with the Prince yourself."
The young man had originally intended to act aggressively, but upon hearing those words, he immediately backed down.
This Lady Liu seemed to know exactly how to manipulate him.
"Alright, alright, since everything is alright, let's continue drinking and having fun. I'll treat everyone here to a round of drinks as a token of my apology."
Lady Liu bowed gracefully, her attitude humble and gentle, making it easy for people to feel close to her.
"You are too polite, shopkeeper."
Everyone else smiled and waved. However, the young master Yan Feng remained standing there with a stern face, looking displeased.
He stared at Qin Yiyao, his gaze icy cold.
Without saying a word, he left Yunxiang Tower, and his two female companions chased after him in a rather disheveled state.
"Manager Liu, is that right?"
Gu Heng stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
At this moment, Madam Liu displayed a completely different expression, with her head lowered and eyes downcast, suddenly making her appear humble.
"Are you two guests looking for a place to stay?"
"Uh, we do need a place to stay, but you don't have any rooms available, so we'll just look for another place..."
Gu Heng was surprised that the female shopkeeper, who had just been quite adept at social maneuvering, had suddenly become so soft-spoken, though he had intended to express his gratitude to her. However, Madam Liu's reaction was even more "predictable" than he had imagined.
"Please don't be in a hurry, you two."
She waved her hand, summoning the woman in the green robe in the front hall, and said calmly, "Go, prepare two of the best rooms."
One room is enough.
Qin Yiyao added indifferently.
"Then one room will do."
Although the woman in the green dress was somewhat puzzled, she accepted the order and acted swiftly, hurrying upstairs without looking back.
"This……"
Gu Heng stared blankly at the disappearing figure of the woman in the green dress.
what's the situation?
How come Yunxiang Restaurant suddenly has empty rooms again, and the manager himself came out to greet us? Just a moment ago, the atmosphere was so tense, it seemed like things could have escalated into something serious. Now, it's as if nothing happened.
The patrons in the lobby were enjoying a round of fine wine that Manager Liu was giving away for free.
For them, drinking seems to be the only important thing.
