Chapter 130: The Most Joyful Thing in Life is Often Surrounded by Disputes

  Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and then Tang Rou's gaze turned to Yin Kuang, followed by her three sisters also looking at him. Then Bai Jue, Wei Ming, Zeng Fei and others all turned their heads to look at Yin Kuang, making Yin Kuang, who was drinking tea and glancing around, feel surprised and ask, "What are you all...looking at me for?" White Jue, sitting on Yin Kuang's left, chuckled and patted Yin Kuang's shoulder, saying: "There is a genius with 8 intelligence points here. We don't have to worry about using our brains. Everyone can just drink and eat, and leave it to Little Yinzi. I'm watching you, buddy." Seeing White Jue's expression, Yin Kuang had the urge to splash the tea water in his hand onto his face.

  "I think we should all put our heads together. After all, relying solely on Yin Kuang's words may lead to some oversight." Bai Jue's eyes rolled, "Well, I really have nothing to say. We've just entered the 'Dragon Gate Flying Sword' and don't know what's going on yet. Hmm, no, actually we do know one thing - Zhao Huai'an and his two companions aren't dead. But apart from that, it seems like we don't know anything else." Tang Rouyu and others listened and felt that Bai Jue was right. Indeed, the information they currently had was very limited.

  Others may not understand Bai Jue, but Yin Kuang heard the meaning of his words. He was indirectly refuting Li Shuangmu, and at the same time, he subtly expressed support for Yin Kuang. Yin Kuang couldn't help but smile wryly, "This guy... is he afraid that the world won't be chaotic?" Li Shuangmu also nodded after hearing Bai Jue's words and said, "Yes, it seems we can only wait until later to gather some information from the shopkeeper."

  The private room soon fell silent. However, this silence did not last long and was broken by the noise from the next room. The sound of slapping the table, clinking bowls and chopsticks, loud shouting and laughter, and a strong gangster atmosphere could be heard, with the smell of wine wafting over to this side.

  Just then, Qi Xiaoyun beside Tang Rouyu said, "Really no quality." Bai Jue heard this and burst out laughing, "I like this, bold, straightforward, when we have wine later, let's do it too. Right, Xiao Ming, didn't we want to drink together last time? Better to seize the day than wait for a better opportunity, why not today?" It seemed that Bai Jue was also influenced by the neighboring table and started showing off his knowledge. Pan Longtao, who was drinking tea with his head down, hastily said, "Let's forget it. We're not here on vacation, drinking will cause trouble." Wei Ming chuckled and patted Pan Longtao's shoulder, "Little Peach was scared by me last time. But what he said is also right, this isn't the time for drinking games." Bai Jue shrugged, "Spoilsport."

  The noise from next door continued, even causing the floor to vibrate slightly. In contrast, this side was quiet, with only a few people frowning, clearly annoyed by the disturbance. Before long, the shopkeeper led a group of waiters in, carrying dish after dish of delicious food. The table was filled with dishes of red, green, and purple, with vibrant colors and fragrant aromas wafting through the air. After the waiters left, the shopkeeper wiped his shoulder with a towel and bowed, saying: "Gentlemen, this is the famous Knight's Banquet at our humble inn, Yue Lai Ke Zhan. I can introduce it to you...".

  "Boom!!"

  A loud crash came from next door, and the little servant on this side immediately shut his mouth. Then there was a burst of "hahaha" laughter. "You lost again! You lost again! Come on, Third Son, fill up Lord Du's cup!" Next came another loud shout, "Again! Again!"

  The shopkeeper looked slightly embarrassed, "You gentlemen are all quite bold and straightforward, haha." Li Xue stepped forward, waving her hand, "When traveling the jianghu, there's no need to be so formal. You don't have to introduce yourself either. I have something to ask you." The shopkeeper hastily bowed, "I will certainly answer fully and truthfully."

  Li Feng poured himself a cup of wine, his demeanor elegant and refined, with an air of authority that made the waiter's heart skip a beat. "Could it be that I've misjudged them? They don't seem like ordinary travelers..." Before he could think further, Li Feng's voice reached his ears, "Why is the signboard of this inn missing a corner?" This question from Li Feng caused everyone to be perplexed, no one expected him to ask such a thing.

  The young shopkeeper's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and he asked, "Young master, why do you ask this?" Li Xueyu turned the wine cup around, not looking at the shopkeeper, and took a light sip. "If you don't tell me, I'll take down your signboard and investigate myself. Do you believe it or not?" Li Xueyu's words made the shopkeeper's forehead sweat, "Th-th-this..." Li Xueyu then pulled out a shiny silver ingot and placed it on the table, "If you tell me, this silver will be yours." The shopkeeper's eyes were immediately dazzled by the color of the silver, and he said, "It's not...can't say. It's just related to an old matter from years ago." "Just give me the main points," Li Xueyu said with a smile, already tossing the silver ingot at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper busily caught it with both hands, lightly exclaiming, "My mother! At least twenty taels!" Then he said, "About two or three years ago, when Yue Lai Inn first opened, a middle-aged knight stayed here and didn't have enough silver to pay when checking out. He argued with the shopkeeper and almost went to court. But then the young knight drew his sword, and in a flash of light, the signboard was missing a corner, which that middle-aged knight had grabbed onto. The knight said, 'I'll repay my debt when I've earned enough silver, this will be proof.' Then he left. The shopkeeper thought the knight's martial arts were impressive and didn't dare offend him, so he just let it go. But those over a hundred taels of wine money are probably gone for good."

  "How much for the wine?"

  "Yes. I still remember it clearly. That middle-aged knight drank for three days and three nights, over a hundred jars of wine. Alas, at first glance, he was dressed extravagantly, thinking he was a heroic knight, but unexpectedly he was a poor devil." As he spoke, the waiter's expression was indignant, not knowing what he was angry about.

  Until then, everyone's eyes lit up, "There is a way!" Unconsciously, they all looked at Li Fengmu. Only to see Li Fengmu smiled and said: "That unknown corner that was cut off, where is it now?" The shopkeeper said: "It was thrown away in the backyard woodshed. Originally, the boss wanted to replace the sign with a missing corner, but unexpectedly, the sign with a missing corner attracted many Jianghu knights, so it was never replaced. As for the missing piece, it had no use either." Li Fengmu asked: "How much did that middle-aged knight owe in wine money?" "It seems like... around 150 or so. Young master, you are..."

  Li Xue Mu raised his hand and placed two large gold ingots on the table, saying: "Is it enough for 200 taels of silver?" The small second's eyes suddenly widened like a cow's eyes, seemingly dizzy, and after being stunned for a while, he said: "Enough, enough... there is surplus, there is surplus!" Li Xue Mu smiled and said: "I'll pay for the middle-aged guest's wine. Now go get that signboard." The small second hastily said: "Got it, got it!!" After finishing speaking, he rushed out of the private room.

  "Li Shuangmu, how did you think of that?" Bai Jue asked involuntarily. Li Shuangmu drank a cup leisurely and said: "At first, I was just curious to ask, but I didn't expect there to be any ulterior motives. Besides, the principal hinted earlier that Xiaoxiao Er's charm value is 21 points. If I hadn't used the intimidation effect of 'King's Heart', I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get him to talk."

  Everyone involuntarily took a cold breath, "A shopkeeper's charm value is actually 21 points?!" Li Xue said: "In fact, this is normal. If the charm value is not high and the eloquence is poor, how can you keep the guests from all over the world? Just like what Wei Ming said earlier, they are relying on their mouths to 'eat' a living. Hehe, the dishes are cold, let's eat first." As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and reached for a bowl of braised pig trotters. However, just as his chopsticks touched the pig trotters, a loud noise suddenly came!

  Then, a figure smashed through the wall and flew directly from the next room into this one, slamming onto the table. The entire table of dishes was destroyed in an instant, with bowls and plates scattered all over the floor. Although Yin Kuang dodged immediately, he still got splashed by the flying soup and sauce - just like Li Shuangyu! His originally handsome appearance was instantly ruined, with a large stain of braised sauce on his chest, completely destroying his beautiful image.

  Then, another group of people broke in, and when they saw the person on the table, a thin man with a big black mole at the corner of his eye sneered, "Dare to cheat under my Golden Eye, Liu Neng's sharp eyes? I think you're tired of living. Is it Lord Du? Ha! Today I'll make you call me Master Du! Get out, all the idle people, we're clearing the scene for the Golden Money Gang." At this time, a fat-headed man next to him suddenly drooled and said, "Master, Master, look, beauty!" The thin man who called himself "Golden Money Mouse" grunted, "Where? Where?"

  "Over there, over there, ah yo, fairy yo." The fatty then patted his thigh, eager to move.

  When Liu Neng, the money-loving rat, saw Tang Rourou and Qian Qianqian, his beady eyes immediately widened in excitement, almost bulging out of their sockets. His underlings were equally thrilled, each one staring with envy, as if they couldn't wait to pounce. "Ahah! I knew why my right eyelid was twitching all day - it wasn't a sign of wealth, but a sign of romance! Brothers, we're in luck tonight!" He rubbed his hands together and nodded at his underlings, "Invite these beauties back to the mansion. I'll stay behind to deal with this Du fellow!"

  "Alright, let's go." The crowd of thugs, all excited, surrounded Tang Rou and the others. The fat one said: "Heh heh, our Liu master is the nephew of the third-rank head of the Western Depot, you'd best surrender quietly, otherwise we'll charge you with the crime of rebellion against your superiors and behead you all!"

  Qian Qian quickly hid behind Tang Rouyu, while Tang Rouyu's wrist slightly trembled, a cold light flashed quietly at her fingertips. However, her eyes were fixed on Li Shuangmu and Yin Kuang. At the same time, Bai Jue, Wei Ming, and others also clenched their fists, casting inquiring gazes at Yin Kuang or Li Shuangmu.

  Li Shuang and Yin Kuang exchanged a glance, both of them nodded slightly.

  The next moment, several cold lights shot out from Tang Rouyu's fingers and flashed into the throats of several thugs. Those thugs immediately fell to the ground. As for Pan Longtao, he saw his hand shake, and two silver light wheels flew quickly in mid-air. With a grip, it was two rough-shaped Gauss magnetic handguns! Seeing his wrist move, the double guns transformed into layers of light shadows, and bullets shot out silently from the muzzle one after another. In an instant, bullets were flying everywhere, and the sound of "popping" bullets entering flesh entered everyone's ears.

  After undergoing the Gun God Bloodline enhancement, Pan Longtao now had 12 points of strength. Converting this into a 12-point strength dark weapon output, although its power was much smaller and slower, it was enough to break through the defenses of these ordinary thugs and kill them!

  By the time Pan Longtao sheathed his sword with a "whoosh", that group of people had fallen down like cut wheat.

  At this moment, the three temporary members also witnessed the strength of Class 1237. Tang Rouyu was nothing to be surprised about, but seeing her being surrounded by several girls made her seem not like an ordinary person. And Pan Longtao, who had been unimpressive until now, suddenly showed off his skills, which also shocked them. To be fair, if they were in his shoes, they might not have the confidence to dodge those bullets that rained down like a storm! Even with the full effect of 22 points of defense, Hong Zhong wouldn't dare to do so.

  And then, a large group of thugs fell to the ground, and under them was a stunned Liu Neng, "In broad daylight... you dare to... kill people, you..."

  "Doubt! ? Since I received the principal's prompt, killing 13 Mingxi Factory rascals, my reputation +13 points." Zeng Fei said: "Then Tianchao's reputation -26 points." Everyone listened and nodded silently.

  But then Li Feng saw a trail of corpses leading up to Jin Qian Shu, and he walked right up to him. "I'm asking you," he said, "where is the third leader of the Western Depot?"

  "I... I don't..."

  "You can die now." Lí Shuāngmù said with a cold face, and with a flash of white light in his hand, a blood line spread from Liú Néng's throat, and then he fell backwards to the ground. "Righteous path reputation +10, Tian Cháo -10? Isn't there no witness now?" Because that person surnamed Du had also been killed by Lí Shuāngmù...

  Li Feng was still suspicious. Yin Kuang shook his head helplessly and said, "It's normal. The Western Factory has eyes and ears everywhere. With so many people in the inn, it would be easy to find out who did it with a little investigation. Let's hurry up and leave, or we'll be late."

  "Uh-huh."

  When everyone was going downstairs, they happened to meet the little second "Deng Deng" coming upstairs with a piece of wood in his hand. Li Xiang took it away directly and threw him a bag of gold and silver, "Settle the bill, leave!"

  The little servant watched Yin Kuang and others leave in a hurry, with a suspicious look on his face, "Strange... but never mind, as long as he pays the silver, it's fine!"
