Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Upon seeing over a dozen martial artists with a lofty aura walk in, the server hurriedly rushed out from the kitchen again, greeting them with a keen smile, "Esteemed gentlemen and this lady, please come inside."

The gracefully beautiful young woman in white palace attire stepped back slightly with a look of disdain when the server approached, simultaneously fanning her nose with her hand.

Seeing this, the server immediately felt somewhat embarrassed. It was then that the man in brocade clothes spoke up, "We have quite a few people, will your place have enough space to seat us all?"

"There's plenty of room, plenty of room, honored guests please come this way!" the server quickly nodded and led the group from Heavenly Saber Sect inside.

After all, this group looked exceedingly prestigious and there were quite a number of them, so naturally, the server was keen to retain them.

Although there were many patrons in the inn, there were still three empty tables. The dozen or so people from Heavenly Saber Sect sat together, and especially since most of them were burly men, it immediately seemed a bit crowded.

The woman in palace attire frowned, showing her disdain unabashedly as she stood there refusing to sit down.

"Junior Sister, it's a light drizzle outside now, and it's not easy to find an inn to settle in; please make do for now," the man in brocade clothes said softly to the young woman in palace attire.

It was precisely because of this young woman, not wanting to travel in the rain, that they had chosen to stop at this inn.

Upon hearing this, the young woman was still somewhat reluctant; she didn't want to dine crowded together with a bunch of smelly men.

"Junior Sister, be obedient," the man in a brocade robe said with a sense of helplessness upon seeing this, but his words could not be too harsh.

After all, the woman before him, Yang Mingyue, was the only daughter of the Heavenly Saber Sect's leader. She had been pampered since childhood, living in luxury, and was accustomed to being wilful, which sometimes really gave people a headache.

He was the only one, as the leader's direct disciple and the chosen successor to the next leader of Heavenly Saber Sect, who had the authority to somewhat restrain the young woman before him, and she would also listen to some of his words.

But still, his words could not be too severe.

Yang Mingyue furrowed her brows and suddenly, her gaze shifted and saw Gu Chen eating alone at a distance, occupying a table by himself.

Immediately, she ignored the man in brocade clothes calling out to her and approached Gu Chen with contempt, casually tossing a silver ingot and lifted her head high, saying condescendingly, "Take the money and eat somewhere else."

Gu Chen heard this but did not spare her a glance, continuing to eat his meal.

Seeing Gu Chen dare to ignore her, anger flashed across Yang Mingyue's eyes, and her voice suddenly rose several degrees, saying haughtily, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"

At that moment, there was a click, and Gu Chen put down his chopsticks and bowl, lifted his head, and calmly looked at Yang Mingyue with profound eyes.

Feeling Gu Chen's gaze, Yang Mingyue suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and involuntarily stepped back several paces.

She quickly recovered, angered by the fear she felt towards Gu Chen, and loudly said, "What do you want to do!"

"Scram!"

Gu Chen said indifferently, his tone casual as if he was shooing away a fly.

Hearing these words, Yang Mingyue was immediately enraged, her eyes brimming with ferocity, and she raised her hand to slap Gu Chen.

Sensing this, a flash of cold light flickered in Gu Chen's eyes.

"Junior Sister, stop!"

At this moment, the color drained from the man in brocade clothes' face, and he quickly stepped forward, catching Yang Mingyue's wrist at the last moment.

"Senior Brother, why are you doing this? He dared to be rude to me!"

When Yang Mingyue saw the man in brocade clothes appear and grab her wrist, she was somewhat unwilling and stomp her feet in a fit of pique.

"Junior Sister, do you think you are still at the sect's gate? How can you act so recklessly!"

The man in brocade clothes' face darkened, and Yang Mingyue's expression stiffened, her arrogant demeanor slightly subdued.

But then she lifted her head proudly, baring her fair neck, and said haughtily, "What of it? They're nothing but country bumpkins. If we were at the sect's gate, I would have long since driven them all out. I've even given him silver, and he dares to not give me face, and to be rude to me!"

"Junior Sister, have you forgotten what our master said before we left? Didn't he tell you that when you are out, you should listen to me? If you continue to be disobedient, I will have to send you back!" the man in brocade clothes said gravely.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingyue's expression was still somewhat defiant, but she dared not say anything more and could only humph coldly, walking back unwillingly.

Seeing this, the man in brocade clothes let out a sigh of relief. Then, he turned his head and cupped his hands towards Gu Chen, saying, "This one is Mo Zilin from Heavenly Saber Sect. My junior sister offended you just now, and I offer my apologies for any offense caused."

A moment ago, when Yang Mingyue made her move, Mo Zilin sensed an aura of dread and reacted instantly, realizing Gu Chen was no easy adversary. That's why he hurriedly stopped Yang Mingyue, preventing her slap from landing.

Gu Chen heard this and remained calm, not speaking and only nodding slightly.

Mo Zilin had introduced himself to let Gu Chen know their background, signaling not to go too far.

"Please accept this silver ingot as our apology for the earlier rudeness," Mo Zilin said, cupping his fists. Seeing Gu Chen still remain silent, he didn't get annoyed, but turned back to his own seat.

But then, a quiet sound arose, and a shadow fell near Yang Mingyue. Startled by this sudden development, Yang Mingyue was scared and let out a cry of shock.
