Zuiwanglou is a well-known and popular place in Cangyang County.

Although it was built in the outer city, the food was excellent and many people were willing to come and have a meal there.

This two-story building was booked out early this morning.

In the past, Li Ming wouldn't have even considered stepping into this place.

Not to mention having a meal.

But now the tables have turned.

Through Qin Lao's introduction, his deeds were also praised.

His real achievements, such as wiping out the Blood Bandits and killing the White Ghosts, made him very prestigious in front of the young masters of the Qin family.

In the end, he easily defeated several young masters from the Qin family and even gave them some pointers.

He naturally gained the approval of the younger generation of the Qin family and became their "leader".

To express her gratitude for Li Ming's help, Qin Yun, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, even took the initiative to treat everyone to a meal.

Li Ming originally didn't plan to go, but then he thought about how many days he had already been here since he transmigrated.

He hadn't been idle at the Qin family's place these past few days. Because of his shady dealings, he took on several jobs that were nearby and killed quite a few wanted criminals.

Life can yield considerable rewards.

Thinking about how I've always lived in constant fear, now I finally have the chance to enjoy myself without spending any money.

So I just came.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Qin family, some of the restaurant's guests immediately made way for them.

In Cangyang County, the Qin family is quite well-known, with a grandmaster martial artist in the family and their business growing bigger and bigger.

For some ordinary martial artists, they could barely be considered among the powerful and influential families.

Li Ming glanced at the bustling hall and thought to himself:

"If it were before, I probably would have been one of those diners who were sidelined."

When he got to the private room on the second floor, he found that the atmosphere was suddenly a little strange.

The Qin family and the group of people faced off.

"Your Qin family is so arrogant, you're not letting anyone eat on the entire second floor?"

A very strong and burly man shouted.

He was a member of the Lin family, and his name was Lin Meng.

On the Qin family's side, a young disciple immediately became unhappy.

He was the one in charge of contacting the restaurants, which made it sound like he had done something wrong.

Qin Lu's face flushed red: "What do you mean by not letting others eat?"

"I booked a table a long time ago, but where are you, boss?!"

Before long, the manager of Zuiwanglou came to the crowd, looking helpless.

"The Qin family did book this time, that's correct, but for some reason, the Lin family moved their booking earlier..."

Lin Meng's face twitched, as if he were bursting with rage, and he said in a vicious voice:

"What's wrong? You can't handle it now that it's a little early?"

"I've said before that I might change the time."

"Putting all that aside, my Lin family has always taken good care of your Zuiwanglou. You won't even give us this much face?"

The manager of Zuiwanglou looked around nervously and said, "Brother Lin, how about we give you face and reschedule for a free meal?"

He didn't want to offend either side.

They had no choice but to accept the loss rather than continue making trouble.

Upon hearing this, Lin Menghu's eyes widened, and a fierce look appeared on his rugged face:

"Who do you think you are? You expect the Lin family to give you face?"

"You don't know that the pride of my Lin family has made it onto the Human Ranking?"

"Can you afford to offend them?"

"These good-for-nothings from the Qin family, oh, and this unfamiliar guy, are able to hang out with them? Heh, do they even deserve to compete with my Lin family?"

Upon hearing that Lin Meng had mentioned the Lin family's top genius on the Human Ranking, the shopkeeper panicked.

He immediately looked in the direction of the Qin family members, as if pleading with them to back down.

Hearing Lin Meng humiliate the Qin family like that, and also scold Li Ming, he was shocked.

Qin Lu's suppressed anger finally erupted. Mustering his courage, he gritted his teeth and said:

"The Lin family only produced one person who was at the bottom of the rankings. Even so, what does it matter to you whether Lin Xun is capable or not?"

"Are you Lin Xun's son, or just a dog he keeps?"

Hearing Qin Lu's words.

Lin Meng, who was originally short-tempered, immediately became restless.

"You're asking for it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his large, fan-like hand opened instantly.

Snap!

A muffled, thunderous boom came from inside the restaurant.

Qin Luren, who was standing there in a daze, didn't even see clearly before he received a loud slap across the face. The heavy force even caused a trickle of blood to seep from the corner of his mouth.

When Qin Lu came to his senses, blood was seeping from his lips and teeth, and his face was deathly pale.

The Qin family members clenched their fists and roared that they wanted to fight.

The Lin family members also refused to back down, stating that they didn't care and clearly didn't take the Qin family seriously.

After all, the Qin family of this generation is notoriously incompetent.

The Lin family, on the other hand, has produced many talented individuals, the most outstanding of whom has already been listed on the Human Ranking and is renowned throughout the world.

However, the Qin family members naturally knew that they would likely be no match for the Qin family in a fight, but the die was cast and they had no choice but to proceed.

If they really give in to every concede, then the Qin family is truly doomed.

Li Ming watched all of this calmly, his heart unmoved.

This scene seemed familiar to him.

The Lin family is powerful and knows how to treat people differently based on their status.

The Qin family is now weak, and Li Ming is regarded as an insignificant nobody.

Just like how the Zhao family dealt with it before, even if the other party had no reason at all, they still argued illogically and made trouble despite being unreasonable.

at this time.

Both sides have begun preparing to take action and are poised to launch an attack.

Li Ming compared the combat strength of the two sides. Lin Meng on the other side was at the first level of Qi Condensation, while the others were all at around the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The Qin family's situation was much more dire; the highest level they reached was Qi Refining Perfection, while the rest were only around Qi Refining Level 4.

Li Ming sighed softly.

This matter had little to do with him.

He could simply remain uninvolved, and the Qin family wouldn't object to it.

But the Lin family's style.

He was really upset.

Lin Meng remained calm, but his eyes held a condescending contempt, as if mocking the Qin family's overestimation of their abilities.

"Let me teach you a lesson, you bunch of arrogant fools."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Meng's advantage as a martial artist in the Condensation Realm became apparent.

His physical abilities completely surpass those of ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

In just a moment, he rushed to the front of the Qin family member who was at the very front.

The Qin family hadn't expected Lin Meng to be so unethical, suddenly charging forward.

Qin Yun, as the eldest daughter of the Qin family and the only Qi Refining Perfection martial artist in the family, was caught off guard and could only shout when she saw Lin Meng suddenly attack:

"careful!"

However, the disciple from the Qin family clearly didn't react in time.

The fist was about to land on him.

He thought to himself, "It's over."

If that punch landed on me, I'd probably be bedridden for at least ten days to two weeks.

She even panicked and closed her eyes.

"Um?"

A second passed.

"What happened?"

The Qin family disciple opened his eyes.

He saw the fist just a step away from his body.

Lin Meng's face turned red, and he used all his strength, but he still couldn't move forward a step.

My arms were gripped tightly, as if they were shackled.

Unable to move.

"you!"

"Who are you!"

Seeing Li Ming's face, which he had never seen before, Lin Meng was furious.

"You bastard, do you even know what the Lin family is?"

He truly hadn't expected that the Qin family would have the audacity to resist.

Where did this guy come from? Does he even dare to provoke the Lin family?

Li Ming's gaze turned slightly cold as he said softly, "The Lin family?"

"I really don't know him."

All I know is that you disturbed my meal.

The strength in his hands had indeed increased a bit.

"Ahhh!"

Lin Meng roared in pain.

"Let go of me!"

Li Ming expressionlessly tossed Lin Meng aside.

In an instant, this tall, burly man was thrown out like trash.
