"I know them."
Liu Fei gave a faint, unreadable smile and pushed the bearded man aside. "Follow me."
After a few steps up the stairs, Liu Fei stopped in front of the Heaven-tier private room number one. "They’re in here."
"Excellent!" The bearded man was instantly overjoyed.
"But are you sure you want to capture them?" Liu Fei asked lightly.
"We need to take them alive." The bearded man cracked his knuckles, then cupped his fist. "Of course, and thank you, Manager Liu."
"Very well."
Liu Fei nodded. "However, to make sure the three people inside are the ones you’re looking for, I’ll go in first and ask. That way, you won’t grab the wrong people. It would be difficult for both of us to explain if that happened, wouldn’t it?"
"Alright, we’ll wait out here." The bearded man thought that made sense.
This was Central State, after all. Who knew if they might run into some big shot?
Liu Fei pushed the door open, went inside, closed it, and explained what was happening outside.
Jiang Xinghai, Shen Lingyin, and Mu Jianni were in the middle of enjoying their delicious meal. None of them reacted when they heard the news.
"Cousin..."
Helpless, Liu Fei walked over to Mu Jianni’s side and reminded her, "Those people outside..."
"Mr. Jiang’s meaning is quite clear. Don’t disturb our meal," Mu Jianni said teasingly.
"Understood, understood." Liu Fei left with a smile.
The moment he stepped out, his expression froze.
"Manager Liu, are those the three?" The bearded man had caught a glimpse through the crack in the door but hadn’t seen clearly.
Liu Fei said in a low voice, "Gentlemen, we nearly stirred up huge trouble. Follow me downstairs quickly so we can talk in detail."
"Could there really be a big shot in there?" A wave of fear washed over the bearded man.
Then, the group followed Liu Fei straight down to the first floor, passing through an inner door into a spacious courtyard.
"Manager Liu, which big shot is in that private room?" the bearded man immediately asked.
"Jiang Xinghai." A wild grin spread across Liu Fei’s lips.
Hearing this, the bearded man instantly understood. "What?"
"Hmph!"
Liu Fei snorted dismissively and clapped his hands. "You’ve walked down a dead-end road!"
As he clapped, more than ten people swarmed in from all directions.
"What!"
The bearded man looked closely and saw that these dozen or so people were all at the Grandmaster Realm!
"Cripple them all, tie them up, and throw them in the dog kennel. Wait for Mr. Jiang to decide their fate." Liu Fei waved his hand and left.
Behind him, the wails of the bearded man and his group echoed.
’So what if they’re from the Yang Family of An City?’
Liu Fei sneered. ’My uncle has gotten back on his feet. He received a Gathering Essence Pill from Mr. Jiang and has now recovered to the Venerable Realm. We are no longer the declining family we were a few years ago.’
Immediately after, he went back to serving dishes to the Heaven-tier private room number one.
Jiang Xinghai and the two women were eating with great relish.
"Mr. Jiang, my family’s Old Tavern has a history of over thirty years. It’s quite famous here in Central State." Mu Jianni raised her glass. "Let me toast you on my father’s behalf first. When he comes out of his seclusion, he will thank you personally."
"There’s no need for such formalities." Jiang Xinghai raised his glass and drank.
"Does that mean that even if Brother Xinghai isn’t in Central State in the future, no one will dare to mess with us as long as Sister Jianni is around?" Shen Lingyin also raised her glass. "Come on, let’s have another."
"Cheers!"
The three of them clinked their glasses and drank heartily.
Even though Shen Lingyin rarely drank baijiu before, she had two glasses today.
Not only was she not drunk, but she was just getting into the spirit of it.
"Brother Xinghai, my tolerance for alcohol has suddenly skyrocketed," Shen Lingyin said in disbelief.
"You’re a Great Martial Artist now, not an ordinary person like before. See?" Jiang Xinghai said with a smile.
Shen Lingyin had a sudden realization. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Sounds like you started drinking before you were of age, then?" Mu Jianni asked with a smile.
"Why do you say that?" Shen Lingyin was confused.
"Going from an ordinary person to a Great Martial Artist, even for a genius, would take at least three years," Mu Jianni said with a laugh.
"What if it really only took me one day?" Shen Lingyin giggled.
"One day? To enter the path of Martial Arts and become a Great Martial Artist?"
Although Mu Jianni had already drunk seven or eight glasses of baijiu, she was still perfectly sober. "Lingyin, you must be joking with me, right? How could it be possible in one day? Unless you’re a once-in-a-generation prodigy."
She herself had started Martial Arts as a child and was the same age as Shen Lingyin. It had taken her until three years ago to become a First-Grade Martial Artist. Her current cultivation as a Fifth-Grade Martial Artist was already considered heaven-defying within the Mu Family.
"She’s just teasing you." Jiang Xinghai raised his glass and secretly gave Shen Lingyin a look.
Shen Lingyin instantly understood.
Jiang Xinghai had repeatedly warned her to keep a low profile.
Especially not to mention to outsiders why her cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds.
"Let’s keep drinking."
The three continued drinking until two in the afternoon.
"Let’s go."
The three of them went downstairs one after another. "You two can head back to your dorm later," Jiang Xinghai said. "I’ll take the guys from the An City Yang Family back home on my way."
"Is that really necessary?" Shen Lingyin and Mu Jianni said, almost in unison.
"When you cut weeds, you must pull out the roots." Jiang Xinghai smiled faintly.
’Or, if they knew what was good for them, he could also take them in as servants.’ freeweɓnovel.cøm
「In the backyard of the Old Tavern.」
「Inside the dog cage.」
The bearded man and his four companions lay inside, bruised and battered, their auras faint and scattered. They were surrounded by dog feces and urine, a truly wretched sight.
