Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2345: Chapter 2345: Idiot

Long Rui was ice-cold all over. With one hand, he grabbed Xuexue, and with the other, he flicked his sleeve at the Thin Man who was blocking the way. Instantly, a strong gust of wind rushed straight at the Thin Man...

"Whoosh...!"

The Thin Man felt a murderous intent coming at him. Despite his height, his reactions were very agile. He flipped backward to dodge, but immediately became furious.

He glared angrily, his eyes wide open, and with a surge of power, he attacked Long Rui.

The Fat Man saw that Long Rui was secretly strong and shouted, "Brother, no!"

But it was too late. As the Thin Man pounced on Long Rui, he struck with a palm.

"Courting death!" Long Rui’s eyes flashed coldly. The people present didn’t even see him move, but the Thin Man’s arm was already dislocated.

"Ah!"

The Thin Man only made a brief cry before falling silent, his face twisted with pain, yet he did not utter another sound. It seemed he was a tough guy.

The Fat Man realized they met a tough opponent and hurried forward to check on the Thin Man, anxiously asking, "Brother, brother, are you okay?"

The Thin Man, in pain, broke out in a cold sweat, and with difficulty said, "You idiot, do I look okay to you?"

"I told you not to provoke him, but you wouldn’t listen."

"Are you really my brother? If you are, then go and avenge me quickly."

"Brother, this person is not easy to deal with. We can’t beat him. Let it go. Don’t forget, we’re out here mainly to get treatment for father."

"Hmph! What a coward. It’s embarrassing to have you as a brother." Even after being punched by Long Rui and not seeing how it happened, the Thin Man was furious because his brother didn’t help him.

"Hehe... Losing the fight is even more embarrassing." The Fat Man chuckled, maintaining his calm and unflustered demeanor, appearing as if he was carefree about everything.

"You...!"

Getting punched while trying to hit someone else, the Thin Man was already full of anger, and the Fat Man’s words made him even angrier. If he didn’t know his brother’s character well, he would have thought his brother was mocking him.

Knowing his brother’s temperament was just like that, continuing the argument would only make him angrier. The Thin Man fell silent, clutching his dislocated arm, stewing in his irritation.

Long Rui pulled Xuexue towards the entrance.

Long Yi went to settle the bill, but the Shopkeeper refused to accept payment no matter what.

The Shopkeeper returned the silver note to Long Yi, saying, "Oh! Guard Long, the Prince gracing our shop is our honor. How could we accept any payment? No, no."

Long Yi was troubled: "Shopkeeper, this makes it difficult for me to explain to the Prince. The Prince said not to take advantage of the common folks outside, especially since there are so many of us, with horses too. The costs must be significant. Please accept it, or else I really can’t explain to the Prince."

"Ah, I see!" The Shopkeeper rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, then took a small ingot of silver, about five taels, from Long Yi’s hand, saying, "Guard Long, this covers your meal. Don’t say I didn’t charge you anything."

Long Yi was taken aback. Their large group had eaten well, with good wine and dishes, and with the horses, it surely amounted to no less than a hundred taels. He said, "Is that okay? Isn’t it too little?"

Shopkeeper: "It’s not too little. As long as you paid, it’s fine."

Alright, Long Yi was somewhat impressed by the Shopkeeper’s wisdom.

Long Rui and Xuexue were almost at the inn’s exit.

The Thin Man became anxious and said to the Fat Man, "If you don’t want father to die, quickly stop her."

If not for his dislocated arm, he wouldn’t plead with his perpetually grinning brother.

The Fat Man glanced back at their dying father on the bench, filled with reluctance in his eyes. He could no longer care about anything else and rushed to block Long Yue and Xuexue’s path.

Long Rui’s eyes widened, and just as he was about to act, Xuexue stopped him, gently saying, "Prince, don’t be anxious, let’s hear what he has to say."
