Jiang Chen didn't want to stir up too much trouble, but he wasn’t about to wait around for someone to step on his toes The fact that such two-bit characters dared to be so boisterous right in front of hihed it off But he hadn’t just cos like he would have usually He had worries weighing on his et on his bad side The act of provocation infuriated hirily “Try andlike you’re soet ‘im!”

“Don’t hold back! Dead or er Qiu knew that the thugs weren’t exactly a friendly bunch The Prancing Pony hadn’t been cluttered with such debris in the past, but the past several ed it for the worse The atmosphere here was quite awful now—a public braas about to start! He was both pained and anxious “Taking a step back is both the safest and wisest choice, friend Why not retreat for a bit?” he called out

He didn’t want guests to be injured at his tavern Both the commotion and the inconvenience to the involved parties were very undesirable

“Retreating? I don’t think I’d be allowed to leave, anyway” Jiang Chen smiled faintly “Rather than that, I’d prefer to move forward”

He really did stride up as he said this, footsteps crunching upon the floor The thuggish cultivators grinned ferally to each other They exchanged a few glances before pouncing in sudden synchronicity, charging at Jiang Chen all at once They looked like a ragtag bunch that often fought together The way they moved and attacked in unison was i Chen’s every path He was surrounded Renewing his suishable shadow flickered across the space And then—

Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap! Six resounding slaps were followed by six agonizing shrieks The six vicious cultivators were sent flying out the door like sandbags

Thuround heavily Some clutched at their faces, others at their behinds, and none of them were left with a shred of composure In fact, they looked positively helpless

The associate was both petrified and cursing loudly Where did this bastard coth, but he pretends to be sos like this… what’s the point of hi hi, really It was the first ti while that he had the chance to flex his muscles He hadn’t expected to do so and run into a brick wall

“F… friend,” the associate stuttered, his face all red, “don’t… don’t be too i’s… brother-in-law, at the Prancing Pony”

“Grand Steward Dong?” Jiang Chen s Sheng” Xiao wang unconsciously puffed out his chest as he said the nae and resolve

“Dong Sheng? Don’t know hi Chen s? But he’s… the grand steward! That’s i’s eyes widened This was too incredible for hie customer know Niu Wuhua, the steward’s second-in-coe?

“Why should I know hi up thewas a harsh talker, but Jiang Chen wasn’t going to give him the sas only because they had started the fight There was no need to give so

Manager Qiu noticed easily enough—the unassuh nut to crack Worried that Xiao wang’s et either the tavern or the associate himself into trouble once more, he stepped out froer on duty today, friend If you’re looking for Niu Wuhua, I’ll take you to hier knew that upsetting the youngPony Despite Jiang Chen’s unree poithin the youth that was likely capable of burning the entire building to ash It could have been a hallucination, of course, but Manager Qiu generally trusted his intuition implicitly Therefore, he saw no reason to risk crisis over a few trifles
