Chapter 115 - Brother Jiu Bullies
Chapter 115: Brother Jiu Bullies
??
“Why isn’t Slave Bi back yet? It’s been a day and a night.”
In Tianxiang Restaurant, Xu Chengxuan stood in front of the window and looked at the endless stream of people on the street in frustration. It was rare for him to feel so uneasy. After all, he had many capable people under him, but none of them were a match for Slave Bi. Slave Bi had never disappointed him. However, for some reason, he became more and more nervous with Slave Bi’s delayed return.
“Young Master, this isn’t the first time Slave Bi has run around,” said a fat and strong man behind him. As Xu Chengxuan’s subordinates, they had followed Xu Chengxuan for even longer, but they were far inferior to Slave Bi. It would be a lie to say that they weren’t jealous, but his complaint was also true.
Slave Bi would often disappear and return unscathed after disappearing for a while. Then, he would work for Xu Chengxuan. It wasn’t that Xu Chengxuan hadn’t been curious before, but he couldn’t do anything about it since Slave Bi didn’t say anything. He was always especially tolerant of capable subordinates.
But this time…
He couldn’t explain why, but he just felt that Slave Bi hadn’t run off to play and disappear again. He was really…
The moment the word “dead” appeared in his mind, Xu Chengxuan shook his head. No, Slave Bi would not disappoint him.
“Young Master! Young Master!” Shopkeeper Wang raised his hem and stumbled upstairs.
Xu Chengxuan was feeling vexed so his anger surged when he heard him shouting. “What is it?!”
At this moment, Shopkeeper Wang couldn’t care less about how ugly Young Master’s expression was. “Young Master, something… something big has happened! Quickly go downstairs and take a look!”
Xu Chengxuan said impatiently, “Can’t you settle it yourself? Do I have to see it myself?”
...
Shopkeeper Wang said with cold sweat, “It’s really, really a big deal…”
Before he could finish speaking, there were a few loud bangs in the hall.
A trace of anger flashed across Xu Chengxuan’s overly feminine face. He went downstairs with a cold expression.
All the guests in the hall had been frightened away. Some who were not frightened also ran away. After all, it was quite satisfying to eat without paying.
Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen smashed the hall into pieces. Some of the thugs and workers who went forward to teach the two of them a lesson were all beaten up.
Xu Chengxuan clenched his fists. “Who is it? How dare you cause trouble in Tianxiang Restaurant!”
Bang!
Shadow Thirteen kicked a wine jar away and coincidentally smashed it onto the roof beam above Xu Chengxuan’s head, splashing all over Xu Chengxuan.
The two burly men behind Xu Chengxuan rushed over fiercely.
“You two brats dare to cause trouble in the Tianxiang Restaurant. See if I don’t beat you up…” One of the burly men was kicked away by Shadow Thirteen before he could finish his words. He collided with another burly man. Both of them were sent flying by a huge force and fell heavily on the stairs, breaking them.
Xu Chengxuan saw that the situation was bad and secretly clenched his fists. “Who are you? Tell me your name.”
“Do you dare to listen?” Yan Jiuchao placed his hands behind his back and strode in.
He was wearing a silver-white cloak. His black hair was like ink, and his skin was like jade. He was like a clear moonlight that shone into the hall that was filled with ruins. His facial features were even more exquisite than Xu Chengxuan, but he didn’t have Xu Chengxuan’s feminine aura. Instead, he exuded a charming heroic spirit.
A trace of extreme surprise flashed across Xu Chengxuan’s eyes. “You are…”
Yan Jiuchao said arrogantly, “You’re not worthy of knowing my name.”
“Young Master?” Xu Chengxuan instinctively thought of Young Master Yan, who was a headache for the entire Capital. However, on second thought, it was impossible. He had no enmity with Young Master Yan, so how could he come and smash his restaurant?
Xu Chengxuan composed himself and thought to himself that with his current status, no one in the Capital would dare to touch him unless Young Master Yan really came.
“Hmph.” Xu Chengxuan felt more confident and even straightened his back. “Do you know who I am?”
“Ah.” Young Master Yan raised his eyebrows casually, indicating that he naturally knew. He would not have come if he did not know who he was. “If you break your arm yourself, I’ll spare your dog life.”
Dog… dog life?
Xu Chengxuan was so angry that his face turned red. “Outrageous! Alright, I’m not afraid to tell you the truth. My cousin is the current Second Prince, and my aunt is Worthy Consort Xu, who is in charge of the harem! If you know what’s good for you, kneel down and kowtow three times to me! If I’m happy, I might be able to forgive you… Ah—”
Shadow Thirteen sent him flying with a slap!
“I’m afraid your life will be shortened if Young Master kowtows to you!” As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped him again!
However, this time, Shadow Thirteen’s slap did not land on Xu Chengxuan’s face. A black figure flashed over and quickly grabbed Xu Chengxuan. He landed in front of the counter with a tap of his foot.
“Jun Chang’an?” Shadow Thirteen recognized the person.
Jun Chang’an put down Xu Chengxuan and turned to salute the door. “Your Highness.”
It was the current second prince, Yan Huaijing.
.
Yan Huaijing’s bamboo hat was gone, revealing his noble face. He stepped over the threshold and asked with a dignified expression, “May I know what Young Master Xu has done to trouble Cousin Yan to be so ruthless?”
Young Master Yan said arrogantly, “Do I need a reason to bully others?”
Xu Chengxuan was dumbfounded. His cousin called the other party “cousin”. Could it be that he was really the only son of Prince Yan who dared to beat up a prince?
“Cousin!” Xu Chengxuan pounced on Yan Huaijing with a strong desire to live.
Yan Jiuchao said, “I’ll still say the same thing. If you break your arm yourself, I’ll spare your dog life.”
Xu Chengxuan mustered his courage and said, “You… How dare you! My cousin is here, I’m not afraid of you! You called me a dog… Then… then… then what is Worthy Consort Xu, who is related to me by blood?”
“Consort Dog?” Yan Jiuchao thought seriously.
Pfft—
Shopkeeper Wang, who was hiding at the side, couldn’t help but laugh.
Xu Chengxuan didn’t have the time to deal with him now. He turned to Yan Huaijing and said, “Cousin, he actually insulted Aunt like this. He simply doesn’t care about you and Aunt!”
Yan Huaijing glanced at him coldly. Xu Chengxuan lowered his head resentfully and did not say anything else.
Yan Huaijing looked at Yan Jiuchao and said, “If he makes a mistake, I’ll naturally bring him back to discipline him. There’s no need for Cousin Yan to do anything.”
Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows and said, “That won’t do. I always finish what I start. I never let those people I bully go.”
Yan Huaijing narrowed his eyes and said, “It seems that you won’t show me any respect today no matter what?”
Yan Jiuchao sneered. “I didn’t even respect your father. Wouldn’t that mean that you deserve more respect than the Emperor if I did that? I’m willing to do it, but can you afford it?”
Yan Huaijing was usually calm, but he was really angry.
“Do it,” Yan Jiuchao said indifferently.
Shadow Thirteen rushed towards Xu Chengxuan.
“Chang’an!” Yan Huaijing gave the order, and Jun Chang’an drew his saber.
The two of them started fighting fiercely.
Jun Chang’an was the number one swordsman under Yan Huaijing. His martial arts skills were almost on par with Shadow Thirteen. However, wasn’t there still Shadow Six?
Shadow Six took advantage of the time when Jun Chang’an was entangled to attack Xu Chengxuan. Yan Huaijing’s eyes turned cold as he ruthlessly slapped Shadow Six!
In the blink of an eye, a silver light shot out from Yan Jiuchao’s hand. Yan Huaijing instinctively retracted his hand.
Whoosh!
The “silver light” passed through the wall beside Yan Huaijing and circled around the pillar of another room. Yan Jiuchao pulled gently, and the thick pillar was cut off in the middle. The “silver light” returned to Yan Jiuchao’s hand, in a palm-sized box.
“Qianji Box?” Yan Huaijing was shocked. “You destroyed the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion?”
“This loot is not bad.” Yan Jiuchao weighed the treasure in his hand and tacitly agreed with Yan Huaijing’s guess.
Yan Huaijing did not expect that he was the one who destroyed the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, nor did he expect him to admit it so easily and so openly! Yan Huaijing was no longer in the mood to think about why he did this. The rumors were true. Yan Jiuchao was a lunatic. Did a lunatic need a reason to do things?
But then again, the Qianji Box was the treasure of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion. It possessed the most powerful and unpredictable mechanism in the world. The silver thread just now was the heavenly silk from the snow region. It was invincible and could cut through iron like mud. If he had been a step slower just now, his hand would have been cut off on the spot.
“Yan, Jiu, Chao!”
“Ah—”
As soon as Yan Huaijing finished speaking, Xu Chengxuan’s miserable scream came from the side. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Xu Chengxuan had been grabbed by Shadow Six.
Shadow Six moved extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, he broke his right arm and crippled his right leg.
“Didn’t you say that it’s only one arm?” Yan Huaijing asked angrily.
Yan Jiu spread his hands innocently. “My original words were to break his arm by himself. If he broke it himself, it would be one of his arms. If I were to break it, I would naturally have to collect some interest.”
“Cousin—” After shouting this, Xu Chengxuan fainted from the pain.
Yan Jiuchao nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and walked out of the Tianxiang Restaurant.
Shadow Thirteen stopped in time and followed his Young Master with Shadow Six.
Yan Huaijing looked at Yan Jiuchao’s back and clenched his fists tightly. “You smashed the Tianxiang Restaurant and injured Young Master Xu. Are you leaving just like that?”
“That’s true. We can’t leave like this.” Yan Jiuchao stopped in his tracks and gestured to Shadow Thirteen.
Shadow Thirteen struck back with his palm!
The golden signboard of the Tianxiang Restaurant was split open from the middle, and fell down in a midst of dust.
