Chapter 116: Waves of Turmoil

  Today, it seems like I didn't check the almanac before going out. Why did I bump into so many young people from rural areas? If they were really from rural areas, how could they have entered this high-end restaurant? And even came to the third floor for a meal? It seems like I forgot that I'm also a young person!

  Leng Xiao Yao's face wore a hint of a smile as he glanced at Lai Pi and then turned back to continue drinking.

  Thud, thud, thud. A series of footsteps followed, and a group of dashing young men appeared behind Lai Pi's back. When they first saw Leng Xiao Yao, they were all stunned for a moment, and several of them even looked at Lai Pi with a playful expression on their faces, as if waiting to see some good show.

  Lai Pi's facial expression changed several times. Although he was a bit spoiled, it didn't mean he was brainless. He had only lost his temper momentarily when they were outside the city. However, as they returned to the city, he gradually realized that something wasn't right. His four bodyguards, who were assigned by his father to protect him, weren't highly skilled but were considered top-notch in Linshan City. Yet, they had been defeated with just one move. This meant that this young man was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Therefore, when he saw Leng Xiao Yao, he didn't immediately get angry and instead wanted to observe the situation quietly.

  "Lai Shao, look!" Several of Lai Shao's younger brothers asked in a low voice.

  Lai Pi glanced at Leng Xiao Yao, who was carefree and self-satisfied, and said lightly: "Let's go."

  Lai Pi led a group of friends to the only VIP room on the third floor, tidied himself up, put on a refined expression, waved his hand to signal his friends to step aside, then walked to the door and knocked gently, saying in a soft voice: "Bai Xue sister, may I come in?"

  The small door of the "Ga Ji" room was opened, and Lai Pi's originally smiling face suddenly froze when he saw the person who opened the door. He quickly bowed his head and greeted: "Lai Pi has seen Liu Lao."

  The old man who was called by Liu Lao was the same one who had been following Bai Xue earlier, Liu Tian, a mid-level Sword Saint cultivator, with the title of White Family's External Affairs Manager. Although it seemed that way, those who knew the situation in the White Family were aware that even if the master of the White Family, Bai Yu, saw him, he would still show some respect to Liu Tian. As for the specific reason, no one knew.

  "Lord Gongzi, please excuse us. My family's Little Xie has an appointment today and it's inconvenient to see guests. Please return!" Liu Tian's tone was very calm, but in his tone, there was a hint of an unrefusable attitude.

  Lai Pi's face changed slightly upon hearing Liu Tian's words, and he immediately forced a smile, saying: "Is that so? Alright then, Lai Pi won't disturb Bai Xue from her meal. I'll visit your esteemed residence later, farewell for now."

  "I won't send it." Liu Tian said lightly and then closed the door.

  "Lai Shao, look!" Several young masters saw the displeasure on Lai Pi's face and hurriedly came forward to comfort him.

  "Get out." Lai Pi's face turned gloomy as he shouted, then swung his sleeves and prepared to leave. However, just as he was about to go downstairs, he saw that Leng Xiao had a smile on his face. Suddenly, he thought of the pure white horse from the countryside, if he could buy it and give it to Bai Xue, he would surely win her heart. At that time? As soon as Lai Pi thought of this, he felt an urgent sense in his heart, so he walked towards Leng Xiao.

  Leng Xiao Yao held his wine cup with a smile, watching as Lai Pi walked towards him. He really wanted to see how this so-called "young master" would treat him. If he went overboard, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson. "Hey, kid, I want to buy that white horse of yours," Lai Pi asked with an arrogant expression on his face. "Money is no object, name your price."

  Leng Xiao thought that Lai Pi was here to avenge his four bodyguards, but unexpectedly he asked if he sold small white (opium) and suddenly became happy.

  "Hey kid, Lai Shao is giving you face. Don't pretend to toast but not drink, or you'll be punished with a penalty drink." A young master immediately jumped out to show his loyalty.

  "You want to buy Xiao Bai from me?" Leng Xiao Yao raised his wine cup, a hint of playful color appearing on his face as he asked.

  Lai Pi didn't know why, but when he saw Leng Xiao Yao's smile, he felt a strange sensation in his heart. However, seeing the many younger brothers following him, if he were to show fear now, wouldn't that be losing face? So he took a deep breath, steeled himself and said: "That's right, I'm buying your white horse, name your price."

  "Really?"

  "Really." Lai Pi saw that Leng Xiao You had the intention of selling, and his smile immediately reappeared on his face. In his heart, he thought: "I'm not afraid you won't name a price, I'm just afraid you won't sell."

  Leng Xiao Yao supported his chin with one hand, a thoughtful expression on his face. After a few moments of silence, he suddenly spoke up: "Since this young master wants to sell, if Leng doesn't buy it, that would be too impolite."

  "That's right." The young masters beside Lai Pi enthusiastically responded.

  Then just give some casually, one billion purple crystal coins will do.

  Silence, absolute silence. Those who were shouting the loudest suddenly became like they had their throats choked, and all of them looked shocked, with their eyes fixed on Leng Xianyao, doubting whether they had heard it wrong.

  "How much did you say? Say it again?" Lai Pi's eyes stared at Leng Xiao Yao, one word at a time.

  "One billion purple crystal coins and I'll sell it, didn't Lai Shao say that the price is up to me? Can't Lai Shao afford it?" Cold Xuan's face revealed a smile as he sipped his wine. When Lai Shi heard this, his face turned even more unsightly. One billion purple crystal coins - was this country bumpkin crazy? One billion purple crystal coins was equivalent to ten billion gold coins. To put that into perspective, the annual military expenditure of the Southern Dynasty was only slightly over one billion gold coins. This horse alone was worth ten years' worth of military expenditure for the Southern Dynasty. Let alone his father being a city lord, even if his father were the ruler of a country, it's not certain he could afford this horse. Wasn't that just daylight robbery?"

  "You dare to deceive me?" Lai Pi's inner anger had reached its boiling point.

  Leng Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "No, no, no, how dare I cheat you, Lai Shao? This price is fair and square, or else I'll give you 100 million Purple Crystal Coins, will you sell me a small white one?"

  It's actually not wrong what Leng Xiao said. You have to know that the value of a unicorn is far beyond 100 million purple crystal coins. To put it bluntly, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy a unicorn that can be promoted to a divine beast. If someone on the Maya continent publicly auctions off a unicorn at this time, I'm afraid all the wealthy people on the entire Maya continent will rush over, and the price will definitely be sky-high.

  "You." Lai Pi saw Leng Xiao Yao's arrogant attitude, his tightly clenched fist almost punched Leng Xiao Yao in the face. But could he actually hit him? That was an unknown quantity.

  The face with a cool and carefree smile suddenly changed to an icy color, eyes became hazy, exuding a cold aura, as if wanting to freeze people.

  Lai Pi felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the cold aura, and he couldn't help but shiver all over. He didn't dare to look directly at Leng Xiao Yao.

  "Get out." Leng Xiao Yao indifferently uttered three words, then picked up the wine jug and poured herself another glass of wine.

  His face turned red and white, and finally he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "You remember this for me."

  "I'll wait." Leng Xiao's voice was full of disdain as he continued drinking his wine.

  "We're leaving." Lai Pi suppressed the anger in his heart and turned to leave the Ruyi Tavern.

  "Does this young master not know that Lai Pi is the son of the lord of Linshan City?" a soul-stirring voice came over.

  It's not necessary to think about it, everyone knows where this voice comes from. Apart from that beauty who brought disaster to the country and its people earlier, who else could have such a voice? So he smiled and responded: "I'm just a passerby, why bother with so much? Whether you're the son of the city lord or the king's son, what does it have to do with me?"

  "Haha! This young master is indeed bold and wise. In the Southern Dynasty, no one has dared to say such a thing before. You are truly the first person."

  "He's overpraising." Leng Xiao was quite unimpressed by this kind of beauty who brought calamity to the country and its people. Perhaps it was because in his previous life, he had heard too many stories about beauties like her being nearby, so he thought that keeping a distance from such beauties would give him more assurance for his own life. Therefore, his words were somewhat cold.

  The beauty in the attic probably felt the chill of Leng Xiao's words, so after he responded, she didn't say another word, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

  "Ah!" Just as Leng Xiao was about to bring the wine cup to his lips, he suddenly froze for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that his guess was not wrong after all. What identity did this beauty have? A mid-level Sword Saint, two low-level Sword Saints, and three high-level Great Swordsmen had come to capture her? Interesting! Leng Xiao, who originally didn't want to get involved, suddenly felt an urge to know the beauty's identity, so he didn't leave immediately, but instead leisurely sipped his wine.

  "Miss, hurry up, those bastards are back." Liu Tian's voice rang out in the room, and in an instant, a crashing sound was heard. Immediately after, a fight broke out in the room.

  "Boom!" A loud explosion sounded, and the room was blown to pieces. A pale figure with a delicate voice flew out of the attic.

  Swish swish swish! Six figures appeared in the third-floor hall. They were six people wearing black tight-fitting clothes, each holding a narrow long knife in their hands.

  "Miss, you go first, I'll cover your back." Liu Tian secretly transmitted his voice to his miss.

  Bai Xue didn't respond to Liu Tian's words, but instead tightly grasped Liu Tian's sleeve with her small hand. A pale color appeared on her beautiful face after a look of terror. This expression caused the six black-clad men surrounding them to swallow hard, and just as they were about to make a move, one of the black-clad men shouted loudly, causing the other five men to come back to their senses. They then slowly closed in on the old man and the young girl.

  "Hmph" Just as the cold beer was about to enter his mouth, he heard the voice of the black-clad man. Instantly, he spat out the beer in his mouth, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he looked up and down at the six black-clad men, a flash of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.
