Chapter 96: You Really Are a Good Person
“With just your pathetic, amateur skills, you dare to cause trouble here?”
He San gave a cold laugh. With one slash of his sword, his sword energy was unmatched and his sword technique exquisite. The two men’s longswords flew out of their hands once again.
The two disciples from the Qingshan Sect were utterly bewildered. Was this still that minor border city, the kind that was completely insignificant?
Why the hell did it seem like anyone pulled out randomly here was an Innate expert who could easily thrash them?
“Shopkeeper He, please hold your hand.”
A gentle call came as Yang Ziling slowly descended from upstairs. “These two are my friends. Please go easy on them and let it go.”
He San had originally intended to teach the two a lesson. Seeing Yang Ziling appear, he quickly withdrew. This was a distinguished guest. City Lord Wang Yuan had instructed him to take meticulous care of her. He cupped his hands and said, “Miss Yang, it was my servant’s ignorance that injured your friends. I beg your forgiveness.”
“It’s not his fault. It’s more my mistake. I give leftovers and steamed buns to the city’s beggars every day, attracting many beggars to come. I’ve made the waiter work hard.” Yang Ziling spoke softly, then immediately turned to look at the two. “Follow me upstairs.”
The two felt intensely ashamed. They never imagined they would meet Yang Ziling under such circumstances.
“Alright, no need to kowtow. Keep your eyes sharper and your attitude better next time,” He San sighed. The waiter was honest and diligent. It was just that he had been thoroughly annoyed by the beggars recently, harboring frustration that finally erupted.
“Thank you, shopkeeper. Thank you, Miss Yang.” The waiter repeatedly kowtowed before finally getting up and returning to work.
Second floor, in Yang Ziling’s room.
“Liu Qing, Yu Hong, how did you end up like this? Where is Elder Lin?” Yang Ziling frowned. These two were Elder Lin’s disciples, quite familiar to her. She had been looking for Elder Lin earlier, never expecting him not to come, but these two arriving first.
“The Master had business. We came ahead,” the man, Liu Qing, spoke, then his expression turned gloomy. “Miss Yang, you’ve been in Clear Moon City for some time. Do you know of someone called Jiang Taixuan?”
“Jiang Taixuan?” Yang Ziling was taken aback. “Did he make you look like this?”
“Exactly. That person, relying on his greater numbers, robbed our Spatial Rings. He truly deserves to die. When our Master arrives, we will surely kill him. No, kill his entire family.” Liu Qing gritted his teeth.
Yang Ziling gave the two a strange look. The Field Master, needing to rely on greater numbers to deal with you? Having your Dao Fruit initial stage Master kill the Field Master’s entire family? What enormous courage. Aren’t you afraid of death?
“I think… you should let this matter go,” Yang Ziling suggested quietly.
“Impossible!” Liu Qing snorted coldly, saying arrogantly, “Since I, Liu Qing, joined the Qingshan Sect, when have I ever suffered such humiliation? I must kill his entire family! And this tavern too, it must be destroyed!”
The woman, Yu Hong, also spoke coldly. “A bunch of lowly, worthless insects made us suffer such shame. If this gets out, how will we ever show our faces?”
Yang Ziling frowned slightly. “Describe the Jiang Taixuan you met. What did he look like? What was his cultivation level? Do you know where he lives?”
She simply didn’t believe the Field Master would stoop to robbery. Someone who didn’t even covet the City Lord position would rob them?
“About fifteen or sixteen years old, already Martial Arts Ninth Stage, talent passable, with a country bumpkin’s mindset completely focused on making money,” Liu Qing stated coldly.
Yang Ziling frowned. “From what I know, Jiang Taixuan is already in the Innate Realm. His talent is unknown. As for making money, he certainly thinks about it a lot, but he’s not a country bumpkin.”
“Innate Realm? Hmph, and he’s not a country bumpkin? Martial Artists should prioritize martial training. Making money is the mindset of those lowly commoners,” Yu Hong said disdainfully.
Yang Ziling rubbed her temples and sighed. “Just connect to the Celestial Network yourselves and check the information. And stop saying ‘country bumpkin.’ I’m genuinely worried you won’t leave Clear Moon City alive.”
The current Clear Moon City was undergoing massive development. Everyone was thinking about making money. These two kept saying “country bumpkin” constantly. Wasn’t that insulting the entire city’s population?
If this were an ordinary minor border city, these two’s abilities would let them run rampant. But the current Clear Moon City—how many Innate Martial Artists didn’t have Divine Level Martial Arts?
Although the Qingshan Sect was decent, it wasn’t even the top sect in the Great Cloud Kingdom. How powerful could its martial arts be?
These two, who could once rival her, now didn’t even spark her interest in fighting. She could completely obliterate them instantly.
The two felt their hearts sink. Yang Ziling’s attitude showed no intention of helping them seek revenge. She even worried they couldn’t leave Clear Moon City. Could this Jiang Taixuan have a huge influence?
Earlier, they seemed to hear those people call Jiang Taixuan ‘Young City Lord.’ Could Jiang Taixuan really be the Young City Lord, with a father managing Clear Moon City?
They hurriedly logged into the Celestial Network. The next moment, their expressions changed dramatically—first shock, then terror, followed by trembling.
Under his command were four powerful experts: three capable of killing Dao Fruit experts, one invincible in the Foundation Building stage…
His own strength: invincible among Innate experts, the number one in Clear Moon!
Was this Clear Moon City? Are you sure this isn’t the Imperial Capital of the Great Cloud Kingdom?
“Yang… Yang Ziling.” Liu Qing gulped, looking pleadingly at Yang Ziling, his eyes still holding a trace of hope that she would tell them it was all fake!
Yang Ziling looked at them with pity. “Although I don’t know who attacked you, it definitely wasn’t Jiang Taixuan. He basically never leaves Qingyue Forest. Moreover, if he wanted to act against you, just hinting at it slightly would mean not only you, but even I couldn’t leave Clear Moon City alive!”
While this statement was somewhat exaggerated, it wasn’t false!
The two breathed a sigh of relief. If they had encountered the Divine Devil Dojo, even calling their Master over wouldn’t give them a shred of confidence.
“Miss Yang, what exactly is this Divine Devil Dojo? A low-level small city, a gathering place for insects, how can such an existence be here?” Liu Qing wiped his sweat and asked.
This was completely a hidden boss in a beginner’s village. Was it really okay for it to nest here?
“The Celestial Network has explanations. Check it yourselves. Also, go take a bath first,” Yang Ziling said.
Only then did the two remember their current disheveled state. They hurriedly took their leave, booked a room, and started bathing.
Downstairs at the Clear Moon Tavern, Xu Changkong, bruised and swollen, looked at He San with a troubled expression. “Shopkeeper, can I cancel my booking of this tavern?”
“You can,” He San nodded.
“Can you refund my money?” Xu Changkong looked at him expectantly.
Every time he challenged Yang Ziling, he would book the Clear Moon Tavern to prevent disturbances, then duel in the back.
This time, the challenge was already over. The result was clear—he lost again.
He San gave a dry cough, his expression unfriendly. “Young Master Xu, we agreed at the start: booking for a day is non-refundable. You’re putting me in a difficult position.”
“But…” Xu Changkong opened his mouth. The day wasn’t even over yet. At least refund some, so I can afford a meal.
Looking at the thoroughly tragic Xu Changkong, He San sighed lightly. “Fine. Even though you disrupted my business like this, who says we have a connection? I’ll refund you two Gold Coins. Spend them carefully.”
“Thank you, shopkeeper.” Xu Changkong quickly took the Gold Coins, thanking him repeatedly.
“Young Master Xu, seeing you’re short on funds, how about I introduce you to some work? Earn some money, save up enough, then go to the Dojo to improve your strength before challenging Miss Yang again,” He San said.
“Shopkeeper He, you really are a good person,” Xu Changkong was moved to the point of being overwhelmed.
“No helping it. Who says we have a connection? Come, let’s discuss the details over there.” He San pulled Xu Changkong toward a corner.
