Su Lijin put away the sword, glanced at the corpse on the ground, turned around and agreed: "Since you are interested, let's go to the restaurant for a drink together."
Xiao Shengxing looked at her with deep black eyes, nodded, and walked out of the alley first.
The two came to a restaurant. At this time, there were many guests in the restaurant, all kinds of people coming and going. It was obvious that the business was good.
"My dear guests, would you like to stay in the lobby on the first floor or in the private rooms on the second floor?"
Xiao Er came over with a pot of tea in his hand and smiled.
"Second floor..."
Su Lijin was about to ask for a private room. She still wanted some quiet time, after all, she had just been chased.
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by an arrogant voice.
"Our master, the virtuous king, is the most powerful person in the entire capital!"
The Wise King? Xiao Zhaolin?
Su Lijin raised her eyebrows and looked in the direction of the voice. She found a man there holding a wine glass. His face was a little flushed from drinking, and he was obviously drunk.
The man laughed arrogantly and boasted to the people around him.
Su Lijin took a moment to identify the person and suddenly smiled: "So, he belongs to an acquaintance."
"Oh? Do you know him?" Xiao Shengxing glanced at the other end and asked Su Lijin.
Raising her eyebrows, Su Lijin answered simply, "This is the servant of the virtuous king. The virtuous king is very famous, so it is natural that I have the honor to meet him."
She spoke tactfully, just saying that she had seen it.
However, when he mentioned the famous name, his tone was somewhat teasing and sarcastic.
The sarcasm was almost undisguised, as if he didn't want to be polite in front of Master Guoyun at all, and directly expressed his dislike for the wise king.
Xiao Shengxing listened, his lips slightly raised, but he didn't point it out.
Over there, the servant drank another cup, his face turning even redder. "You don't know, my master, the Xian Wang, is a man of both civil and military talents. If he had ascended the throne, forget about being the current emperor, everything else would be bullshit. By then, the emperor would be our prince!"
When everyone heard this, they were surprised.
"Your Highness is even more powerful than the Emperor?"
The servant smiled triumphantly and was about to continue when suddenly something flew towards him and he quickly dodged.
With a "bang", a teapot exploded on the wall beside him.
"Who is so blind!"
The servant roared.
Su Lijin walked over fearlessly, raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't brag about being your highness at the feet of the emperor, or you'll lose everything."
Upon hearing this, everyone was a little afraid for a moment. After all, what the servant had just said was indeed quite outrageous.
Xiao Shengxing followed over, his black eyes holding a somewhat cold light.
The servant suddenly felt a little cold. He looked around but didn't see any powerful people, so he felt relieved for a moment.
Looking at the person who threw the teapot at him, the servant sneered and said directly, "So what if he's under the emperor's feet? I'm going to say that from now on, our wise king will be the emperor, the one above everyone else!"
A very mocking sneer was heard.
Under the gaze of everyone, Su Lijin moved quickly.
Before everyone could see clearly, they heard a crisp "slap" sound and a big slap mark appeared on the servant's face.
"This slap is to teach you a lesson on behalf of the current emperor." Su Lijin raised her eyebrows.
The servant covered his face, which was burning with pain and swelled up almost immediately.
"How dare you hit me!"
He glared at Su Lijin fiercely and roared, "Come on, kill this troublemaker!"
He looked at Su Lijin, and seeing that she was dressed in ordinary clothes, he felt that she was an ungrateful and unruly person.
He killed her in a rage, so what?
Anyway, he is the proud servant of the Xianwang Mansion, and his status and position are not comparable to those of a commoner.
Su Lijin was immediately surrounded by several guards.
The servant saw his men surrounding her and waved his hands triumphantly: "Go ahead!"
The guard immediately took out his white knife and slashed at Su Lijin viciously.
Everyone was startled and immediately stepped back.
Su Lijin looked at these guards without showing any fear.
Xiao Shengxing frowned and clenched his hands slightly at his sides.
"Humph, you asked for this."
After she finished speaking, she took the lead and kicked a guard away.
Seeing that she was able to resist, Xiao Shengxing finally let go of her hand, his dark eyes fixed on Su Lijin.
Immediately afterwards, Su Lijin grabbed the hand of a guard and used his hand to kill all the guards.
This move was so fast that by the time the servant reacted, almost 90% of the guards were dead. The rest were so scared that their faces turned pale and they threw down their knives and ran away.
The servant opened his eyes wide, swallowed, yelled, and ran away.
It was the first time he saw someone defeat a larger force with a smaller one. The enemy could hardly stand and had to crawl away.
Su Lijin didn't chase him, but snorted coldly: "He runs fast."
“Pah pah pah…”
There was a burst of clapping.
Xiao Shengxing came over and clapped his hands in praise, saying, "Your technique is truly artistic."
Just now, Su Lijin grabbed the guard's hand and fought back. The arc of the sword swing was extremely tense, like a posture on the stage, with a bit of theatrical style.
These words were spoken with great sincerity, his dark eyes fixed on Su Lijin without blinking, his eyes filled with concentration and genuine admiration.
Su Lijin looked back at him, confused and her heart beating faster.
She quickly turned her eyes away: "You are too kind, sir. I am just trying to survive."
After the two of them had finished their meal, Su Lijin did not stay any longer and quickly said goodbye and returned to the palace.
