Loyal Servant

The rich gentleman realised he was played by Li Chengfeng. His face was green as he glared daggers at Li Chengfeng, who was indifferent and looked at him teasingly. However, Qiu Liansheng was in no mood to laugh. He whispered, “Brother, I think he's from the Zhan family of the northwest.”

Li Chengfeng was stunned for a moment. Qiu Liansheng continued, “Look at the fragrance pouch peeking at his waist! It's a purple goldfish pouch embroidered with golden thread with seven golden stripes! Only counts are qualified to wear that! Look at the fabric of his clothing, it's good silk from the northwest, and the servant behind him has the Champion Marqui's emblem on his sleeve!”

Li Chengfeng felt a chill. Although he was the King of Troublemakers, he was not an idiot who could not read the room. One could be reckless and arrogant but must be smart enough to know who should not be provoked at all costs.

Within Cheng'an, the prefecture chief, Zhang Junheng, was a person that must never be provoked. However, Li Chengfeng had angered him. That was just an unlucky incident. If he had a choice, Li Chengfeng would never have gotten on his wrong side.

Who would be stupid enough to provoke a prefecture chief?

Similarly, the Zhan family was also not one Li Chengfeng would anger. Although they were thousands of kilometres away, they were a powerful influence. Even a three-year-old had a nursery rhyme that called the King of the Northwest a hero!

Across the lands of Daqi, no sane person would deliberately provoke the King of the Northwest, the Zhan family.

As the saying went, it is difficult to get off once you ride a tiger. Put in this predicament, Li Chengfeng's mind raced to find a solution when they heard a sudden strum upstairs and a bright voice. “I am humbled that both you gentlemen came to visit my teahouse today but I miss my poor sister, Zhixi and am in no form to serve you two today. Please forgive me for this. Come another day and I will make sure you will be treated well, alright?”

The Zhan family's Fourth Young Master squinted, his fury stuck in his throat. The middle-aged servant next to him said in a low voice, “Fourth Master…”

He turned furiously, glaring and gritting his teeth. “I am humiliated here and all you want to do is watch, am I right?”

The servant whispered, “Well, he did not actually insult the Zhan family. Eldest Master reminded us to lay low and remain vigilant when we're so far from home.”

The Fourth Young Master clenched his teeth and glared at Li Chengfeng. “Let's go!”

Li Chengfeng heaved a sigh of relief as the man left with his two servants. Suddenly, someone burst into the hall, yelling, “Young Master! Young Master!”

It was Zhao Xiaobao.

The Fourth Young Master of the Zhan family paused, then looked at Li Chengfeng. He had an idea. He took another step forward right in front of Zhao Xiaobao but it was at that moment when Zhao Xiaobao slammed directly into him.

The Zhan gentleman was thrown back like a piece of paper, sliding backwards across the floorboards. The crowd was silent, even Zhao Xiaobao was speechless. Am I really that strong? Did I really throw a man back that far?

Li Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat. He watched as the man crawled up, smirking murderously.

The Zhan gentleman's two servants looked at each other helplessly.

Their fourth young master was always looking for trouble. But this was… too much!

The Zhan gentleman rushed at Zhao Xiaobao furiously, grabbing him. He lifted his fist to hit Xiaobao but it was caught by someone else. He turned to see Li Chengfeng smiling at himself.

Li Chengfeng let go of his hand. “I'll compensate for it if Xiaobao has wronged you, please have mercy!”
