"Sir, what can I do for you?"

The fat manager respected Jing Zhe and his group because they were his bread and butter, and their livelihood depended on them.

The new man in the green robe, judging from his appearance, was clearly from a sect. His otherworldly demeanor inspired fear in everyone.

Such a person may not be able to decide the life of a restaurant, but he can certainly decide its death!

Therefore, he dared not be negligent and his words were full of flattery and ingratiation.

"There are thirteen of us from the Qingcheng Sect. We don't need any more. Just prepare five rooms for us!"

"..."

The man in the green robe clearly heard the conversation between the fat shopkeeper and Jing Zhe, otherwise he wouldn't have said "Wait."

Even so, he still chose to have five rooms and did not intend to reserve one for Jing Zhe and his group, which shows his domineering nature.

"Wow, it's the Qingcheng Sect!"

"I wonder if Sect Leader Lin of the Qingcheng Sect has arrived yet!"

"I heard that Sect Leader Lin went into seclusion to cultivate some time ago, and his strength has greatly increased since he came out. He's probably aiming to win the championship in this martial arts tournament!"

"Huh? The sect leader can participate in the martial arts tournament? Doesn't that mean it's a competition between the four major sects?"

"Hehe, my friend, you don't know this! There are no requirements regarding whether someone is the sect leader or not in the martial arts tournament, but there are age requirements. The leaders of the four major sects are all too old, so they will only send their disciples to participate!"

"Oh, I see... Then Sect Leader Lin is indeed qualified to participate. After all, Sect Leader Lin is the youngest sect leader in the martial arts world! Sigh, Sect Leader Lin's arrival in Jinxi will probably cause a sensation!"

As soon as the man in the green robe finished speaking, the disciples from various sects who were eating in the hall immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"this…"

The chubby shopkeeper looked at Jing Zhe with some difficulty.

All he knew was that the man in the green robe was a martial artist, but he couldn't tell which school or sect he belonged to. After all, he wasn't a martial arts practitioner; he was just temporarily opening a restaurant here, planning to make a living from it for three years.

He was afraid when he heard the name of the Qingcheng Sect.

Clearly, the Qingcheng Sect was quite famous; he had heard of it.

Jing Zhe had heard of the Qingyun Sect, but never of the Qingcheng Sect.

Then he turned to look at Wang Yingqiu and asked seriously, "What is the Qingcheng Sect?"

"..."

"Pfft!"

Wang Yingqiu was trying her best to hold back. She originally thought that Jing Zhe was deliberately trying to disgust the man in the green robe, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be joking, which made it even more amusing.

Finally, I couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

"How dare you! You call the Qingcheng Sect something? Do you have a death wish?"

The man in the green robe was filled with rage, especially after hearing Wang Yingqiu's laughter, which seemed to insult him even more. He glared at Jing Zhe and said.

"Oh? Did I misspoke? You Qingcheng Sect are scoundrels!"

"..."

The man in the green robe blushed and looked Jing Zhe up and down again. Finding that he had no martial arts skills, he became even more disdainful and wanted to teach him a lesson.

However, the somewhat simple-minded but burly man next to him seemed to be a master. The man in the green robe felt that he was no match for him, so he did not dare to make a move and just sneered.

Jing Zhe ignored him and slammed the money on the table.

"Four rooms!"

Yu Haixing followed suit, slamming the money onto the table as well.

"One room!"

"..."

The portly shopkeeper glanced at Jing Zhe, then at the man in the green robe, looking somewhat conflicted.

Both Li Fu, the leader of the Axe Gang who had just been in contact with Jing Zhe, and Wang Dachui, the leader of the Hammer Gang who had clashed with him, were somewhat surprised at this moment.

This young master... is so bold!

They don't even respect the Qingcheng Sect, no wonder they didn't show any fear of them just now.

That's incredible!

Seeing that the portly innkeeper hadn't moved, Jing Zhe slapped the table and said with some displeasure, "What are you standing there for? Don't you know about first come, first served? Hurry up and give me a room!"

"Young Master...why don't we wait until Sect Leader Lin arrives?"

The fat shopkeeper whispered that compared to Jing Zhe's money, he still felt it was more worthwhile not to provoke the Qingcheng Sect.

"..."

"Haha! Judging from your accents, you all seem to be from the north? And you came from the east, so perhaps you're from Jingzhou? If you don't know about our Qingcheng Sect, that's understandable!"

Seeing that the fat innkeeper was wary of the Qingcheng Sect, the man in the green robe said smugly, "Our sect leader is young and promising, and our Qingcheng Sect is second only to the Qingyun Sect in Jiangling. How dare you belittle our Qingcheng Sect? Aren't you afraid that our sect leader will come in later and have a good talk with you? If you know what's good for you, give us all the rooms!"

As he spoke, his eyes swept greedily over Wang Yingqiu. Although he sensed that Wang Yingqiu had cultivation and was stronger than him, he was not afraid. After all, he was only at the second level of cultivation, so it was not surprising that others were at a higher level than him!

Being taller than him is nothing, but he's not as tall as their sect leader!

Then he chuckled lewdly, "Our sect leader is young and promising, not only is he dashing and charming, but he is also still unmarried and knows how to cherish women! He certainly wouldn't want to see the two young ladies sleeping on the streets later, so he might let you share a room with him, wouldn't that be great?"

He glanced at Jing Zhe and the others again: "As for you, isn't it a good deal to sleep outside in exchange for a favor from our Qingcheng Sect leader?"

"What a steal!"

Without saying a word, Jing Zhe kicked the man in the green robe to the ground.

Yu Haixing had been beaten by Jing Zhe so many times, but this was the first time he had seen Jing Zhe hit someone, and he felt relieved!

Not satisfied with that, they went up and started kicking too.

"You... dare to hit me?"

Not wanting to reveal his identity on the street, Jing Zhe glanced at Yu Haixing and said, "Here, you put one on for him!"

Such a good opportunity, we have no choice but to let him have it.

"..."

Yu Haixing was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what he was pretending for.

He slapped the man in the green robe hard across the face—he had turned into a pig's head, and he hoped that all the other men would turn into pig's heads too, so that he could gain a bit of pleasure.

He chased after them while cursing, "So what if you're from the Qingcheng Sect? I'm from the Wuxian Pavilion, who do you think you are? See?"

As he spoke, he pointed at Wang Yingqiu: "That's my senior sister. How dare you, from a small, insignificant sect, harass my senior sister?"

As he spoke, he started kicking her wildly again!

Wuxian Pavilion…

Upon hearing this name, the people in the hall were filled with awe, a stark contrast to their reaction upon hearing about the Qingcheng Sect earlier.

No matter how powerful the Qingcheng Sect is, it is merely a rising star, and it has never truly proven itself in the martial arts world.

But Wuxian Pavilion is different. It is one of the four major sects. In particular, in just two days, they will be stepping into Wuxian Pavilion's territory—Ruzhou. Offending Wuxian Pavilion at this time is not a wise choice!

The man in the green robe moved his face away from Yu Haixing's feet, and asked incredulously, "You...are you really disciples of the Wuxian Pavilion?"

"Want to know?"

Yu Haixing squinted and asked.

"Um…"

"You dare to challenge me? Die!"

As he spoke, Yu Haixing kicked down again.

"..."
