Su Yang's face darkened.
Why is this guy asking such a question in such a serious setting? The worst part is that Li Zhong has such a serious expression. If he finds out the truth, wouldn't the entire Qinglin City be doomed?
At this moment, several burly men standing nearby were stunned for a moment, followed by a burst of laughter.
How could a man not know what being a gigolo means? This is the funniest thing in the world! Especially since Li Chong looks quite big, yet he asked such a stupid question, they couldn't stop laughing.
At this moment, the man standing in front sneered, "I never expected someone so big to be a..."
He walked towards Li Zhong, but before he had taken more than a few steps, a gust of wind slammed him into the air, his head hitting the wooden planks on the roof of the tavern, leaving him hanging there.
Holy crap!
Upon seeing this, everyone behind him stared wide-eyed.
That man was their tavern's strongest fighter, a True Yuan Realm expert, yet they didn't even notice who made the move, and he just hung on the roof like a corpse...
Who are these two?!
Just as they were dumbfounded, Su Yang slowly stood up, twisted his wrist, and said, "Your tavern has its rules, and I naturally have my own."
"Breaking my rules usually doesn't end well."
After saying that, Su Yang's gaze swept over all the men in front of him, and a golden light shot out from his sharp eyes! This caused all the tavern thugs to take a step back.
This young man... is not to be trifled with!
Knock knock knock.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from upstairs in the tavern. Soon, a man dressed in gorgeous robes walked over with a gentle smile. Upon seeing Su Yang, he immediately cupped his hands in greeting and smiled.
Upon seeing the man, all the thugs bowed and lowered their heads silently.
Clearly, this must be the owner of Qingjiushi.
As the boss walked, he smiled apologetically at Su Yang and said, "Please forgive me, gentlemen. My subordinates offended you by accident. Please forgive them."
Li Zhong sat there with his arms crossed, saying nothing.
Instead, Su Yang nodded silently: "In fact, we are not the kind of people who renege on our debts. It's just that we left in a hurry today, and I really want to make up for the amount spent here with spiritual medicine or talismans."
The boss seemed very understanding: "Oh? That's perfect, everyone's happy. Oh dear, it seems my subordinates really aren't very good at their jobs."
At this moment, the thug standing to the side frowned slightly and said, "But boss..."
Upon hearing this, the boss turned his head and sternly rebuked, "Is it your turn to speak? Get out of here!"
The thugs exchanged glances and silently retreated.
Seeing this, Su Yang felt much better.
In fact, Su Yang roughly understood why his boss did this. The reason was similar to a story from an old book: one was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit.
Su Yang wouldn't believe these thugs weren't sent by their boss to cause trouble, but in the brief exchange, the boss had a rough idea of their strength. Since they could take down his thugs so quickly, they must have encountered someone he couldn't afford to offend. In this situation, he would pretend to know nothing and then intervene.
Firstly, it would make Su Yang and his companion have a favorable impression of their tavern.
Secondly, it makes everyone think it's a misunderstanding.
Killing two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, Su Yang didn't expose him. He placed his finger on the storage bag and gently tapped it. Several talismans and a small bottle containing spiritual medicine landed on the table.
Upon seeing these talismans and bottles, the shopkeeper's eyelids twitched.
Storage bag!
That's something only truly important people possess! I never expected this young man to not only have extraordinary strength but also a treasure like a storage bag!
Upon seeing the storage bag, the owner of Qingjiu Restaurant had almost no doubt about the authenticity of the items in front of him. After all, would someone who possessed a storage bag keep a bunch of fakes inside? And was it just for the sake of coming here to get a free meal?
Even a fool could figure that out!
"I should have come down and taken a look myself!" The owner of Qing Tavern regretted his decision.
He glanced at it almost perfunctorily, then frowned.
It's not that these are fake, but rather that the quality of these spiritual herbs and talismans is extremely high! The lowest grade spiritual herbs are all spirit-grade pills, and there are even earth-grade talismans among them. Moreover, the spiritual energy contained within them is extremely rich, just like a freshly made product, unlike those sold elsewhere where the spiritual energy has already dissipated by who knows how much.
Furthermore, if these things were sold, even a single spirit-grade pill could fetch several spirit stones, and a single talisman could easily sell for more than ten spirit stones. Not to mention earth-grade talismans, which are priceless and can be sold for hundreds of spirit stones!
This young man has once again broadened his horizons!
"Ahem." The owner of the Qing Tavern coughed twice and said with a smile, "Sir, three bottles of spirit pills will cover the amount."
Su Yang nodded silently, casually tossed three bottles of elixirs out, and then waved his hand, sending all the talismans and elixirs back into his storage bag.
How magnificent!
This was the first thought that popped into the boss's mind: how could someone with such a bold spirit be an ordinary person?
Could he be a disciple of the Ziyang Sect?
Or perhaps he is a young master from a prominent family in the capital?
But none of that matters anymore. What matters is that he got the elixir. Even before he opened the bottle, he could feel the spiritual energy emanating from it was extremely rich, almost enough to melt his bones.
After handing over the elixir, Su Yang waved to Li Zhong and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to do something else."
At this moment, Li Zhong slowly opened his eyes, said nothing, and simply followed Su Yang out of the tavern.
Meanwhile, the shop owner, smiling obsequiously behind the two, said, "Next time you two gentlemen come, our shop will give you a 30% discount!"
Su Yang waved his hand without turning his head, and the two figures drifted further and further apart.
The boss breathed a sigh of relief after watching the two leave.
The thugs who had retreated earlier rushed out, carrying a ladder, and carried the man down from the top floor. Fortunately, the man was not seriously injured; he had only been knocked unconscious by the force of the blow and would likely recover after a night's rest.
The shop owner, however, didn't seem to care about the man's injuries. He felt something was off about the small bottle as it was shaking.
Logically speaking, it should be easy to tell if a bottle contains only one elixir, but when he shook it just now, there didn't seem to be any rattling sound from the elixir.
Did I get scammed again?!
The boss hurriedly opened the bottle and was immediately dumbfounded.
Three elixirs lay crammed together in the narrow bottom of the small bottle; how could they possibly move?
"Oh My God……"
Only then did the owner of the tavern realize that he had initially thought one pill per bottle was the correct amount, which was why he ordered three bottles, but this one contained three pills...
That means he asked for three times the price!
Most importantly, the boy seemed completely unconcerned? What kind of family does he come from?
