Li Guanyu laughed and said, "Young Master Murong is joking. This is not about money. The best private room is occupied today. No matter how much money you offer, I can't just turn away a guest, can I? Besides, the person in that private room is not someone I can offend."

Murong Tie asked, "I know you. You're one of the Four Young Masters of Yanchuan. Your father was recently promoted to Minister of Rites in Xidu, so you've risen in rank. But my Murong family has influence not only in Jingbei County but also before the Emperor. Here's what I'll do: I won't make things difficult for you. Go and tell the person in that private room that I, Murong Tie, am asking to change rooms and hope he'll give me some face."

"Hey, you're too kind!" Li Guanyu said with a smile. "Young Master is being frank, but let's not mince words. The host of that private room today is Zhao Zhan, the young master of the Right Chancellor. If you're well-informed, you should know that the young master and General Wang's daughter are discussing marriage. Today's gathering is a dinner that the young master invited Miss Wang Yucen's relatives and uncles in Yanchuan City. If I were to intrude on such a gathering, I would be being incredibly inconsiderate."

Murong Tie then looked at Li Guanyu properly, picked up his wine cup and said, "I'll drink this cup of wine, but it's really a coincidence. I came here this time to see the young prime minister, and now his brother is here. Let alone changing the private room, I should go and offer him a toast."

Li Guanyu quickly finished his cup of wine, walked over and blocked Murong Tie's path, and said with a smile, "Young Master, you are also a distinguished person, so please don't make things difficult for me. Normally, I would take the initiative to introduce you, but with their current arrangement, it's really inconvenient for outsiders to disturb us."

Murong Tie's expression changed, and he questioned, "I, the eldest son of the dignified Murong family, offering him a toast is the icing on the cake, how is it considered an intrusion?"

Li Guanyu bowed and said, "I hope you will forgive me, young master. Please enjoy your meal and drinks tonight. I'll reserve the best private room for you tomorrow night!"

Snap!

Murong Tie's expression changed instantly. He slammed his wine cup down and roared, "I'm being polite to you because I'm flattering you. Don't push your luck!"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table stood up, and the attendants placed their hands on their weapons.

Li Guanyu suppressed his smile and asked, "What does the eldest young master mean?"

Murong Tie said, "I'm a VIP here, I can go wherever I want, are you going to stop me?"

Li Guanyu glanced at the group of people at the table and said, "I told you, you are an important person, and I can't afford to offend you. But to be honest, if you guys want to cause trouble, my Dongfang Restaurant is not to be trifled with. However, I can't afford to offend you, and I don't dare to touch you, but I advise you, if you really make a mistake and provoke them, you will be the one who suffers."

"Listen to this!" Murong Tie glanced at his own men and sneered, "This Oriental Restaurant is quite arrogant!"

With that, Murong Tie bumped into Li Guanyu's shoulder and walked outside, saying, "Brothers, come with me and see what's going on!"

As Murong Tie reached the door, Li Guanyu said again, "Young Master, you are my honored guest. I'd like to remind you one last time: enjoy your meal and drinks tonight. There are some people you can't afford to offend."

"Go to hell!" Murong Tie shouted angrily, cursing as he walked out.

After everyone had left, Li Guanyu shook his head and sneered, "Is this all the future heir of the Murong family is? You got impulsive after I just provoked you a little? Go ahead, the most dangerous person in Yanchuan City is inside. Let's see how you handle this!"

A while later, Murong Tie led his men to the best private room and entered directly without asking anyone to announce their arrival.

Zhao Hu and Heng Wenhao stood in the outer room, while Zhao Zhan, Wang Yucen, and some of Wang Ren's friends from Yanchuan City were in the inner room.

Zhao Cheng sat at the head of the table.

"What are you doing here?!" Zhao Hu immediately stopped the outsider when he saw him barging in.

Murong Tie said proudly, "Having heard that the young master of the Right Chancellor and the daughter of General Wang are here, I have come to pay my respects."

Zhao Hu frowned and said, "Is this the attitude of a courtier? Who are you?"

Murong Tie said, "Jingbei County, Murong family."

Zhao Hu turned around and glanced into the inner room.

Murong's sudden entrance was so loud that everyone's eyes turned to look at him.

Zhao Zhan interrupted Zhao Cheng, shouting, "Who's so rude? The Murong family? Is there even a Murong family in Yanchuan City?!"

Although Zhao Hu and Heng Wenhao did not obey Zhao Zhan's orders, Zhao Zhan was, after all, Zhao Cheng's younger brother. Since he had spoken up, Heng Wenhao also stepped in front of him, glanced at Murong Tie's entourage, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said in a deep voice, "These people who barged in with weapons, do they want to practice?"

Murong Tie sneered, "I didn't mean that. But if you misunderstand my intentions, the skilled men behind me will teach you a lesson."

Zhao Hu and Heng Wenhao exchanged a glance, both showing surprise, and then laughed in unison.

Murong Tie asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Hu said, "Are there so many blind people these days? Do they think some rotten bird egg or rotten taro can teach us a lesson?"

"You!" Murong Tie was furious. His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he took a step back.

He didn't say anything, but seeing his action, his entourage behind him moved and drew their swords at him without warning.

Heng Wenhao reacted extremely quickly, his "Quick Blade Blossoms" move flashing by. It looked like he only made one strike, but in fact he had already made dozens of strikes, cutting down all the followers who rushed at him. Zhao Hu didn't even have a chance to make a move.

Since they were in Yanchuan City, Heng Wenhao did not want to hurt anyone, so he used the back of his knife to subdue his enemies.

Zhao Hu said angrily, "Even though they're rotten bird eggs and taro, you should at least leave me a few!"

Heng Wenhao said helplessly, "The opponent is too weak. It's not that I don't give you a chance, it's that they don't."

Zhao Hu said, "You've stolen all the limelight, what's the point of me playing?"

Hearing Zhao Hu and Heng Wenhao's conversation, Murong Tie became furious and, looking at his followers lying on the ground, shouted, "Aren't you all second-rate experts? How come you're acting like trash!"

"Master, he is a top-tier expert!"

"No...Master, he might be a top-tier expert..."

Hearing the attendants' pained explanation, Murong Tie exclaimed in surprise, "A top-tier master?!"

Zhao Hu, having failed to strike anyone, finally found an opportunity for a verbal exchange. He sneered, "A top-tier expert like this surprises you so much? Everyone says the Murong family is the number one family in Jingbei County, but is this all the foundation and knowledge they have?"

"you!"

In a moment of impulsiveness, Murong Tie wanted to pounce on Zhao Hu, but as soon as she moved, she saw the young masters who had come with her retreating, and she instantly calmed down, shouting, "Is this how you treat guests in Yan Chuan City?"

Zhao Hu retorted, "You barged in like this, are you even guests?"

“Zhao Hu, what they say is right. They’ve come all the way from Jingbei County. Even if they don’t know proper etiquette, they are still guests.”

Zhao Cheng, who was seated at the head of the table in the inner room, spoke up and smiled slightly when he saw Murong Tie looking over.

"Hello, I am Zhao Cheng."
