The gaunt man stood up and politely clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ji Chenhai, saying, "We were blind to your talent and offended you. I apologize on your behalf, and we beg you to be lenient."
After saying that, he growled in a low voice to the burly men who had drawn their knives: "Hurry up and put your knives away! You're not bandits or robbers, why are you resorting to violence at the drop of a hat? What kind of behavior is this!"
Seeing that the man was being hypocritical, Ji Fengming slowly broke off pieces of steamed bun and ate them while singing in a mocking tone, "Even in the peaceful and prosperous Great Zhao, mountain bandits and robbers wouldn't dare to be so blatant as to commit violence with knives on this broad road."
"You...!" The scarred man, who had just escaped Ji Chenhai's grasp, was about to lash out again upon hearing this, but was still pulled back by the skinny man.
The scarred man said indignantly, "Boss, this kid is so arrogant and rude, why are you being so polite to an unknown nobody?"
"Excuse me," the gaunt man said politely to Ji Chenhai, then glanced at the scarred man and led them away.
Except for Lin Shuang and Bai Lu, all of Ji Chenhai's group had cultivated before, and at least had the cultivation level of the third stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm. Their five senses and six perceptions were all very sharp.
They clearly heard the gaunt man scold the scarred man in a very low voice as he sat down: "Fool, don't you know what kind of people are rushing out of the capital today?"
"Oh, they're going to kill too..."
The scarred man suddenly shut up, and when he looked at Ji Chenhai and the others again, his gaze actually showed a hint of friendliness, as if they were kindred spirits.
Ji Chenhai: "..."
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Ji Fengming teased the magpie with a smile: "Little magpie, do you want to fight?"
"Young Master, shall we get started now?" Xi Que's eyes lit up, and he began to roll up his sleeves.
Ji Fengming covered his mouth with the back of his hand, which was holding half a steamed bun, to suppress a laugh: "Little sister, you're getting more and more violent. Be careful that no one will want you in the future and you'll be stuck with them for the rest of your life."
"Oh ho, you're mistaken. Our Xique has already been kidnapped by Wuhen. I've already prepared her dowry," Ji Fengyao said with a smile, patting Xique's shoulder.
Xi Que blushed deeply and lowered her head shyly, saying, "Miss!"
"Wuhen?" Ji Fengming carefully recalled the guards around Shang Xiye: "The one who looks similar to my brother-in-law, that blockhead?"
“Young Master, Brother Wuhen is not a blockhead, he is a very nice person.” Despite his shyness, Xique couldn’t help but speak up for Wuhen when she saw that Ji Fengming had misunderstood him.
Ji Fengming clutched his chest, feigning sadness: "I thought our little sparrow was in love with me because she always called me 'Young Master,' but I never expected that she would belong to someone else in the blink of an eye."
"Oh, young master, I still admire you very much," Xique said earnestly.
Ji Fengming was still whimpering.
Ji Chenhai was delighted to hear this, but he said with a stern face, "Don't tease the magpie here. If you really want a wife, your mother will find you another one. You can't just make excuses like before."
"Pfft!" As soon as these words were spoken, several people sprayed saliva on the table.
Ji Fengming was shocked, as if struck by lightning: "What? Mother is looking for another girl for me?!"
Ji Fengyao, on the other hand, was full of gossip: "Mother has found a wife for my brother. Which family is she from? Is she pretty? What's her personality like?"
Black Owl silently wiped his mouth.
Ji Chenhai smiled and shrugged, finally putting on a fatherly air: "Your mother's taste is naturally impeccable. The girls she's set up with are all beautiful and elegant."
