Chapter 296 Conflict
Tianji Inn was the pride of the people of Tantai City. Therefore, hearing someone say bad words about the inn, the guests who were having meals in the inn immediately raised their heads in anger and looked around to seek.
Seeing clearly who the one was, however, many people who wanted to reprimand her were silent, and even the noise in the lobby was much smaller and replaced by continuous whispers.
“It was her. No wonder…”
“Since Tianji Inn had been given to Forth Prince by His Majesty, alas…”
When they were talking, Su Li had settled her account. Then she turned her head, and her indifferent sight fell on the pretty-dressed woman with thick makeup.
This woman looked about 30 years old. Her appearance was very ordinary, and that greasy makeup was even more boring. However, judging by the glittering jewels on her head, she should be from a wealthy home, and…
Glancing at the guests in the inn showing a trace of fear, Su Li had a faint guess in her heart.
At this time, the woman with thick makeup saw Su Li’s exquisite and small face, and a hint of irritation appeared in her eyes. She sneered and scolded immediately, “Oh, where does this coquette come from? You don’t think it’s too much for you to take so many men out?”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Yuan’s face froze instantly. His palm touched the hilt of the sword. When he was about to move, his body was stopped by a small movement of Su Li.
However, Su Li stopped Fang Yuan, but failed to stop Qu Qingning’s mouth. When Qu Qingning saw this woman insulting Su Li, he immediately became very angry, and pointed at the heavy-makeup woman’s nose and scolded,
“Where’s the ugly b.a.s.t.a.r.d from? Not to mention your long donkey face, why is your mouth also so smelly?! You should see clearly this is Tianji Inn, a place to have meals. If you can’t help but want to spout s.h.i.+t, hurry up and go to latrine. Don’t be disgusting here!”
How sharp Qu Qingning’s words were. Even he did not allow the heavy-makeup woman to find the opportunity to interrupt. When she fully understood Qu Qingning’s meaning, her face became livid suddenly.
“…You, you, you… How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this?”
Seeing that the heavy-makeup woman was so angry that she couldn’t speak a complete sentence, many people in the inn sneered secretly, feeling refreshed, but at the same time they cast a sympathetic stare at Su Li and other people with her.
This scolding made people comfortable, but this woman was not an ordinary person. These young people were going to be in trouble.
“How do I know who you are? No words are written on your face.”
Qu Qingning rolled his eyes without any restraint. With Su Li as his backer, it was no need to be afraid of a little shrimp.
After experiencing the event in Nanjiang Country, Su Li’s strength had risen to control a sect or even a country. For example, as an elephant could trample dozens of ants to death, it couldn’t be interested in understanding what ants were thinking about.
“You! You…”
The heavy-makeup woman trembled with a pale face and pointed at Qu Qingning who was indifferent, but she couldn’t say a whole word.
“Ah!”
She screamed angrily and scolded, “What the h.e.l.l are you still doing? Arrest him! I will let him know the cost of offending me!”
The woman commanded. Although the guards behind her were unhappy, they moved because she was superior.
This move immediately shocked everyone watching the fun in the inn!
Inborn realm!
These guards were all seniors of the inborn realm. No wonder the heavy-makeup woman had the confidence.
“Stop it. I can make you suffer less!”
The middle-aged guard who was the head said coldly with the palm containing the inborn genuine energy to shroud Su Li. He was sophisticated, and naturally could see that the master of these people was the 16 or 17-year-old girl.
However, before this palm touched Su Li, a strong wind was suddenly shot from the second floor of the inn and repelled the strength of the middle-aged guard.
Sensing the extremely condensed genuine energy in the strong wind, the middle-aged guard’s face changed slightly. He did not dare to attack Su Li again, and turned around to withdraw from the inn door. The other guards were not so lucky and were hit by the strong wind, screaming and flying out of the door.
“Snapping!”
The heavy-makeup woman didn’t know what happened, and suddenly a bright red palm print was on her face, which threw her directly to the ground. Immediately, half of her face swelled quickly.
“Who hit me?!”
After being slapped in the face and watched by so many people, the heavy-makeup woman was stunned and then uttered an extremely sharp howl. However, before she flounced, a frosty voice in her ears instantly made her sober and cold.
“You shameful dog. Get out of this inn!”
This voice… this voice was too familiar. It was that Majesty!
Why was she here?!
The woman with heavy makeup was full of fear, and her arrogance ceased. She actually knelt with a thump and kept kowtowing, “I’m wrong, and I will roll away immediately…”
As she said, she gritted her teeth and actually rolled out of the inn with her legs in her arms, followed by those inborn-realm guards awkwardly and fearfully as if there was a ghost behind them.
This series of changes took place in a short period of time. Before everyone could react, the incident was over.
Then, a scholar-like shopkeeper suddenly came downstairs, stood in front of Su Li, and said respectfully, “This… this… Lady! The two majesties upstairs invite you to renew friends.h.i.+p.”
Su Li’s eyes flickered, and then she chuckled, “Bother you to lead the way.”
The shopkeeper was suddenly flattered, and said repeatedly, “Not at all, not at all. Lady, this way please.”
Some sharp-eyed people in the lobby recognized the appearance of the shopkeeper and exclaimed in a low voice that this one was also a big deal. No wonder he was no fear in the face of He Luomei.
On the second floor, there was the No. Tianzi private room.
Su Li took Fang Yuan to push the door and come in. Others were waiting outside the door. Although the private room was large, if they went in together, it would leave a bad impression on the people inside.
Pa.s.sing through the empty hall of the private room, Su Li opened the silk curtain, came to the stairs of second floor, and finally saw the two persons sitting on beside the round mahogany table.
They were a man and a woman. The man was Tantai Yu, but the woman looked unfamiliar. The woman’s facial feature was somewhat similar to Tantai Yu’s, with every movement exuding grace.
“Junior Sister Apprentice, it was really you!”
Seeing Su Li coming in, Tantai Yu showed surprise, “Just now on the first floor, I was behind you and I couldn’t see you clearly. I thought I got the wrong person.”
The woman looked at Su Li with interest, but did not speak.
Su Li smiled sweetly and said, “I haven’t seen Senior Fellow Apprentice for many days. You are even better than before.”
“You are the last disciple of Master. Don’t make fun of me.”
Tantai Yu said so, but the brighter smile on his face revealed his inner thoughts. Seeing that the two were not hostile, Fang Yuan, after glancing at Tantai Yu, left silently, standing outside the silk curtain like the most faithful guard.
Tantai Yu saw Fang Yuan’s action, and a flash of praise flashed in his eyes. Then he pulled Su Li to sit down and smiled,
“I almost forgot to make an introduction. This is my biological elder sister, Tantai Mingyue, the second-ranked child in the family. She rescued you just now, otherwise you little girl would be in danger. Although you brought many people, you do not have an advantage in front of warriors of the inborn realm.”
Su Li smiled slightly without explaining and said to the elegant woman, “Second Princess, thanks for your rescue.”
With a radian hung up from the corner of Tantai Mingyue’s mouth, she said with a smile, “Forth Brother, you are wrong. Even I don’t do anything, your Junior Sister Apprentice will not get hurt at all. The cultivation of the one who spoke madly just now is above me.”
Tantai Mingyue said and had a deep look at Fang Yuan’s figure outside the curtain.
This person could follow Su Li to come in, but the one who had exposed cultivation just now could only stand outside the door. This point was enough to expose a lot of information.
Before Qu Qingning had leaked his breath, he looked no difference from Su Li’s other guards who exposed their cultivation at the late phase. Tantai Mingyue also thought that Su Li could not deal with He Luomei, so, she gave a shot. But now…Read more chapter on v ip novel. com
As soon as Tantai Mingyue thought of the team with more than ten people, she couldn’t help but secretly be startled and raise a ridiculous idea.
Hearing that, Tantai Yu was shocked. Second Sister’s cultivation was the highest among the descendants of the royal family, reaching the eighth hurdle of the inborn realm, but the guards around Su Li could even reach that level. Even if Dongfang Rui’s means was super powerful, how could he win over so young warriors of the late phase of the inborn realm?
“Junior Sister Apprentice…”
Tantai Yu called hesitantly. Su Li remained her smile and nodded slightly, “Second Princess is really observant.”
Tantai Yu did not dare to speak immediately. He also had the same thought with Tantai Mingyue, and Su Li did not seem to deny it.
“By the way, Senior Fellow Apprentice, is Master still here? I have something important to ask him for help.”
Su Li s.h.i.+fted the topic, and the awkward atmosphere in the room was immediately relaxed. Tantai Yu was also one of the best princes in the royal family. He calmed down soon and laughed,
“Of course he is, but Master lives in the Gushan Mountain outside the city where is very remote. If you find him by yourself, it will take you lots of time. Let me take you there.”
Su Li nodded, “Thank you, Senior Fellow Apprentice.”
“Not at all.”
Tantai Yu shook his head and smiled, “You still regard you as an outsider as before, but that’s okay. My situation is a bit embarra.s.sing now. If you live in the Prince’s Mansion, there will be trouble. You can live in Tianji Inn. It is mine now. It doesn’t matter how long you live.”
“Ok.”
Su Li responded and turned to leave, without asking a word about the so-called “embarra.s.sing situation”.
After she left, Tantai Mingyue took a sip of wine, and then she said, “Why don’t you ask her for help? I can see that although this girl is not close to you, you two have the same master after all. If the power controlled by her is available to you, your current predicament will be nothing.”
Tantai Yu smiled bitterly, “Second Sister, things are not as simple as you think, and I don’t want Junior Sister Apprentice to be involved in this ‘muddy water’.”
“Then are you willing to involve me in this ‘muddy water’?”
Tantai Mingyue rolled her eyes. Tantai Yu quickly pleaded guilty and toasted, making her giggle.
“All right. You are my closest brother. Come and have a couple of drinks with me, and then go with your Junior Sister Apprentice.”
b.u.mp!
The wine gla.s.ses made a crisp sound on the b.u.mp, and Tantai Mingyue’s mouth hooked and her eyes implied deep emotions.
Silly brother, although Su Li looked simple, as a woman, she could feel that this girl was definitely not simple.
Since you didn’t want to tell your situation to her, let me do it for you.
