Chapter 49

Jiang Han turned his head and saw a young man with a graceful demeanor stepping in. He had a clear and bright face, wearing a brocade robe, and holding a folding fan. If it weren't for the pale complexion from excessive indulgence, anyone would have a good impression of him.

The young man in the brocade robe immediately spotted Jiang Han and the other two, his gaze icy cold as he looked at them.

Jiang Han had already收回了目光 and was leisurely eating peanuts.

The innkeeper seemed somewhat afraid, his body trembling slightly. This appearance made Old Yun sigh lightly. He waved his hand, and a faint, almost invisible light enveloped the innkeeper, calming him down.

The young man in the brocade robe's gaze swept over the three of them, finally settling on Old Yun. He let out a cold laugh and strode toward them.

"Was it you who injured my subordinate?" The young man in the brocade robe looked at Old Yun with a murderous intent in his eyes. "One must consider the owner when dealing with a dog. How do you explain injuring my people without any reason?"

Old Yun ignored him and directly asked the innkeeper, "Is it him?"

The young man in the brocade robe's face suddenly turned dark. In his view, Old Yun's disregard for him was a great insult, making him lose face.

Because of Old Yun's protection, the innkeeper was no longer afraid of the young man in the brocade robe. Hearing Old Yun's question, he nodded without hesitation, his voice filled with hatred, "It's him!"

"Hmm? Old man, don't think I won't dare to touch you. If it weren't for your granddaughter, I would have sent you to your eternal rest long ago!" The young man in the brocade robe said coldly.

Old Yun slightly raised his head, glanced at the young man in the brocade robe, and said calmly, "You arranged for people to obstruct my old friend's business, causing him significant losses. How should we settle this account?"

"Old man, don't refuse the wine and end up drinking the penalty! I can see that you are a fairly strong warrior, so I'm giving you some face! Let me tell you, with just one word from me, you won't be able to take a single step in the entire capital!"

"I originally planned to let you off, but now I've changed my mind! Either you become my servant and I'll spare your life, or you die! Choose for yourself!"

The young man in the brocade robe's pale face twitched slightly. After a moment, he spoke, his voice icy cold.

"Ha ha." Jiang Han couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time he had seen such a supreme and arrogant person, as if the whole world belonged to him, deciding others' lives with just a word.

And he even wanted Old Yun to become his servant? Even the current emperor didn't have that right!

"What are you laughing at?" The young man in the brocade robe seemed to notice Jiang Han's existence only now, sizing him up from head to toe before saying coldly.

"Nothing, nothing, continue." Jiang Han tried to hold back his laughter, but his face kept twitching, which the young man in the brocade robe interpreted as mockery.

"Looking for death!" The young man in the brocade robe's face turned dark, staring at Jiang Han. He then coldly waved his hand, and one of the people following him stepped forward, his face twisted with malice as he approached Jiang Han.

The innkeeper's face showed a hint of worry, and he whispered, "Senior, that young brother..."

"Don't worry about him." Old Yun waved his hand, a smile on his lips.

This scene made the young man in the brocade robe's heart skip a beat, feeling something was off. But he could clearly sense that Jiang Han's strength was very low, only at the Warrior Apprentice level, so there shouldn't be any problem!

"Putting on a show!" The young man in the brocade robe said disdainfully, trying to boost his confidence.

"What are you going to do?" Jiang Han put on a scared look, staring wide-eyed at the man approaching him.

"Don't be afraid, little boy, I'll be gentle!" The man, with a twisted face, cracked his knuckles and walked toward Jiang Han with a cold laugh.

"Damn, I can't take it anymore, it's so damn disgusting!" Jiang Han shuddered, and his seated figure instantly disappeared. The next moment, he was standing behind the man with a bench, smashing it over his head.

Smash!

The wooden bench shattered, splinters flying everywhere. The man was stunned by the sudden blow, swaying and turning in place for a moment before steadying himself. His eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to curse, "Brat, you..."

Boom!

A massive table smashed into his head, instantly making his brain go blank, his eyes turning white as he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Phew, I forgot to use my true essence just now." Jiang Han threw away the table leg, muttered to himself, and then sat back down, smiling at the innkeeper, "Old man, I accidentally damaged your inn, sorry!"

"It's fine..." The innkeeper was dumbfounded, staring blankly for a moment before muttering two words.

"You... dare to touch my people?!" The young man in the brocade robe was both shocked and angry. He was shocked that Jiang Han, a Warrior Apprentice, could unleash such terrifying strength, and angry... though without reason, he was just angry. In his view, Jiang Han hitting his people was simply wrong.

Jiang Han had already determined that the young man in the brocade robe was brainless and stupid, with an IQ so low that even a white rabbit was smarter.

"Is that right, Xiao Bai?" Jiang Han gently pinched the nose of Xiao Bai, who was sleeping in his arms.

Xiao Bai grunted a few times, opened his eyes in confusion, not understanding what his silly owner was talking to himself about, and then closed his eyes again, continuing to sleep!

Jiang Han shook his head helplessly. To be honest, he was speechless about Xiao Bai's talent. Others had to struggle and fight to advance, but this little creature slept every day and was already a high-level first-stage beast, making Jiang Han both happy and envious.

The young man in the brocade robe was so angry he almost spat blood. Old Yun didn't even look at him, treating him as if he didn't exist, and Jiang Han was talking to the puppy, making him feel utterly humiliated.

He wanted to send more people forward, but looking at the few followers behind him, all with fearful expressions, he knew they would just get beaten up. He cursed them in his heart.

"Do you... know who I am?" His face alternated between green and white, and after a moment, the young man in the brocade robe shouted angrily.

"Oh? Who are you? Speak up and let me hear." Old Yun finally spoke again, squinting his eyes and smiling lightly.

"I am the nephew of the City Lord of Tianwen City in the capital, Wu Chi!" The young man in the brocade robe lifted his head, gently fanning himself, his face full of pride, as if this identity gave him great honor.

"Oh? You are the City Lord's nephew?" Old Yun was slightly surprised, looking at Wu Chi for the first time.

"Wu Chi... this name seems off." Jiang Han frowned, rubbing his temples, thinking.

Wu Chi nodded proudly, "I am the City Lord's nephew! My previous words still stand. If you submit to me..."

"Has the City Lord's residence fallen so low?" Old Yun ignored Wu Chi's words and shook his head with regret.

"What do you mean?" Wu Chi's face changed, and he shouted fiercely, "How dare you insult the City Lord's residence?!"

Buzz!

At this moment, the air at the inn's entrance rippled, and a figure emerged, emitting a powerful aura.

It was an old man in a simple white robe. At this moment, his face was full of displeasure as he stared at Old Yun.

"Sir, your words are too disrespectful to the City Lord's residence, are they not?"
