Chapter 10

"Is there something wrong with your head?"

Jiang Xuan looked at the young man with cold eyes. Had he offended this stranger just by eating here?

Seeing the spirit beast meat scattered on the ground, Jiang Xuan felt a pang of pain.

"What a pity for this spirit beast meat! It's all wasted!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent. Did this guy even know who he had hit? That was a ruthless person who made the talents of Tianshui County tremble, but this guy was more concerned about the spirit beast meat scattered on the ground.

This... "Pfft!"

Qin Shou, who had been punched back by Jiang Xuan, now felt a burning pain on his face. His expression turned dark, and he looked at the old man who had entered with him, saying, "Steward Gu, what do you think should be done about this?"

"This is Steward Gu of Tianshui Pavilion!"

"It's said that he has always had a good relationship with the Qin family."

Many people in the scene immediately recognized the old man and spoke up.

The old man, known as Steward Gu, frowned, feeling somewhat troubled. In principle, all guests should be treated equally, and he shouldn't favor any side.

However, Qin Shou's identity was clear; he was a genius of Tianshui County and the youngest son most beloved by the head of the Qin family.

On the contrary, the young man who had just defeated Qin Shou was a complete stranger, likely not a talent from a major family.

At that moment, Steward Gu made his decision and said to Jiang Xuan.

"Boy, do you know that it is not allowed to hurt others in Tianshui Pavilion? Otherwise, you will have to bear a heavy price. Since this is your first offense, if you can cut off both your arms and apologize to Young Master Qin, this matter will be dropped."

When Steward Gu said this, his tone was calm and without any fluctuation, as if he believed he was giving Jiang Xuan a great favor.

Upon hearing this, the crowd shook their heads. Steward Gu was indeed favoring Qin Shou, but this was natural, given that Qin Shou had the powerful Qin family as his backing.

Yun Xi, who was beside Jiang Xuan, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, was about to speak up for him, but at that moment... "Old man, who are you to ask me to apologize?"

Silence! The scene fell silent again.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Was he crazy?

Jiang Xuan's gaze turned cold. Everyone in the scene knew who was right and who was wrong, but even so, this old man still wanted to punish him. Therefore, he wouldn't show any respect to the other party.

"This guy dares to speak to Steward Gu like this? This time, no one can save him!"

Sure enough, the moment Jiang Xuan finished speaking, the originally smiling Steward Gu's face instantly turned dark, and a thunderous sound erupted from his body.

There were no shortage of people who were watching the show, and they looked at the scene with a mocking expression. They all knew that Jiang Xuan was finished! "What's going on?"

But at that moment, a cold voice made the enraged Steward Gu regain some composure. Seeing the newcomer, he hurriedly bowed.

"Shopkeeper."

As for the others, they also hurriedly bowed. In Tianshui County, the shopkeeper of Tianshui Pavilion was someone even the heads of major families dared not offend easily, because behind him stood the massive entity, Baobao Hall.

However, this did not include Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan recognized the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared; he had seen him before at Baobao Hall. This man was named Mo Lin.

Mo Lin also looked at Jiang Xuan with surprise, his heart sinking, as if he had guessed something.

"Shopkeeper, this boy just entered and hit the young master of the Qin family, and even insulted our Tianshui Pavilion and you. If we don't punish him severely, people will think this Tianshui Pavilion is his." Gu Mu's words were cut off as he noticed that Mo Lin seemed somewhat off.

Mo Lin's face was pale, and even his hands were trembling slightly.

No one knew better than him about Jiang Xuan's identity. Tianshui Pavilion was a property of Baobao Hall, and as the deputy hall master of Baobao Hall, how could Jiang Xuan insult Tianshui Pavilion? That would be like cutting off his own leg.

Seeing Mo Lin's pale face, Gu Mu thought he was angry and immediately showed a pleased expression.

"Shopkeeper, let me help you teach this boy a lesson!"

However, just as Gu Mu was about to make a move... "Bang!"

A huge palm print immediately struck Gu Mu's face, the terrifying force sending him flying several meters.

"Is... is the shopkeeper out of his mind?"

But the next moment, they were dumbfounded to see the always arrogant Shopkeeper Mo Lin come to Jiang Xuan's side and respectfully say,

"Deputy Hall Master! I have failed to maintain discipline. Please forgive me, Deputy Hall Master!"

The crowd in the pavilion, like ants on a hot pan, instantly erupted.

What did they hear?

This unfamiliar young man was actually the deputy hall master of Baobao Hall! "How... how is this possible?"

The face of Gu Mu, who had been slapped, immediately turned pale. He never imagined that this unknown young man would be the deputy hall master of Baobao Hall.

"How... how is this possible?

This waste... how can he be the deputy hall master of Baobao Hall?"

Not only Gu Mu, but Qin Shou, who had been waiting for the show, also had a dramatic change in expression.

Originally, he had planned to ask a powerful member of his family to intervene, but if the other party was the deputy hall master of Baobao Hall, even if he had a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare. The wrath of Baobao Hall was not something a small family like the Qin family could bear.

"You..."

Even Yun Xi was stunned for a moment. She found that she was increasingly unable to understand this young man, who always surprised her.

"Shopkeeper Mo, it's time to clean up Tianshui Pavilion. Otherwise, anyone will be able to run wild here."

With that, Jiang Xuan left Tianshui Pavilion with Yun Xi and Jiang Hu.

Two days later, a message spread through the streets and alleys: Baobao Hall had a new deputy hall master, who had shown great power, driving the once mighty Gu Mu out of Tianshui County and defeating the Qin family's young master, Qin Shou, with one punch.

However, when asked about the identity of this deputy hall master, no one could provide an answer.

This was what Jiang Xuan had requested. He had Baobao Hall seal all the information, not wanting anyone to know his identity, as it would interfere with his cultivation.

After leaving Tianshui Pavilion, Jiang Xuan went to Baobao Hall again, where he searched for a large bag of medicinal pills under the watchful eyes of Hall Master Lu Hong and Ying'er, who were gritting their teeth.
