I am Master Maoshan

"Brother, there's something I'm curious about. That Ximen Bisheng clearly signed a master-servant contract with you, and it was the kind of heavenly contract that was said to be unbreakable. How did you cancel it so easily?" Xu Baoer blinked her big eyes, staring at Liu Jun with curiosity and asked.

Liu Jun smiled lightly, paused, and then slowly said: "I didn't lift it at all."

"Ah? Not lifted?" Xu Baoer was stunned. "Then how come Ximen Bisheng..."

"The Heavenly Dao Contract he signed was with the Holy Water Spirit Fetus in my body." Liu Jun said with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"This...that's not right. There's no sign that the Water Spirit Holy Fetus has been contracted!" Xu Baoer was even more puzzled, her brows furrowed.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao beside him coughed lightly and explained, "Miss Bao'er, you don't know that this holy water fetus is, to put it bluntly, countless water spirits gathered together, and after a long time, it has developed spiritual intelligence. It is not a real living thing, but just a ball of spiritual energy. Therefore, the master-servant contract naturally has no binding force on it."

Hearing this, Xu Baoer nodded in sudden realization: "So that's how it is, no wonder."

Then, she turned her gaze to Liu Jun and asked, "So you wanted to set up Ximen Bisheng from the beginning?"

Liu Jun chuckled, his eyes flashing with a cunning light: "That old guy wants me to be his servant, he has a good dream. If I don't trick him, who else can I trick? He thought he could control me by signing the Heavenly Dao Contract, but he didn't know that I already had a countermeasure. I can't trick him to death."

Xu Baoer couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and she was both impressed and amused by Liu Jun's wit and cunningness. She knew that although Liu Jun looked careless at ordinary times, he could always come up with surprising ideas at critical moments, which made people look at him with admiration.

Yao Guangxiao nodded silently on the side, and his evaluation of Liu Jun improved a little bit.

At this moment, a loud noise came from the door of Haoyue Restaurant, breaking the originally quiet atmosphere. Pedestrians on the street looked sideways, curiously looking at the source of the noise.

"This bunch of people can't hold back so quickly." Xu Baoer took a sip of the tea in her hand, with a hint of mockery and disdain in her eyes.

"Those few top-grade spirit stones your brother took out were too tempting for them. It's normal that they couldn't resist." Yao Guangxiao said with a hint of indifference and insight.

His eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate people's hearts and see through the conspiracy and calculations behind them. "However, those who came here are probably just pawns. The real mastermind is still hiding in the dark."

"That's right, the small fish just came to test the bait, the big fish is still waiting behind." Liu Jun narrowed his eyes and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, with a rhythm that showed confidence and calmness, as if everything was under control.

Just then, a rude shout was heard, and as soon as I heard the voice, I knew that the person was not friendly.

A dozen or so guys who looked like hooligans barged into the Haoyue Restaurant in a domineering manner. They were disheveled, with ferocious looks on their faces, and they pushed the waiter at the door rudely, as if the whole world owed them something.

"Hello, is there anything you can do for me?" Milo hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and came to the door. He smiled and spoke politely and cautiously, trying to calm down the sudden disturbance. However, the hooligans did not seem to appreciate it and continued to shout arrogantly.

The scene was in a stalemate, and the air was filled with tension and anxiety. The guests in the Haoyue Restaurant stopped what they were doing, focused their eyes on the door, and nervously watched the development of the situation.

Xu Baoer, Yao Guangxiao and Liu Jun had no intention of going to the front to take a look. They remained calm and composed, as if everything was within their expectations.

"Boss Mi, our gang has lost a warhorse, and we suspect that the horse was stolen to your restaurant." A burly man in the lead said in a rough voice.

This man was none other than Shangshanhu, the leader of the White Tiger Gang in Hezhou City. His figure was as strong as a mountain, and every step he took seemed to make the ground tremble slightly.

Milo frowned when he heard this and was about to explain when he was interrupted by another voice.

"Hey? Wait a minute, we lost something too, and we suspect it was stolen by a guest of your Haoyue Restaurant!" A burst of hurried footsteps approached along with the dissatisfied shouts, and then a large group of people in green clothes rushed to the door of the restaurant. Their leader was the president of the Qingse Association, who had a gloomy face and a flash of anger in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became tense and oppressive, and the guests cast curious and horrified glances. Milo's face became even more sad, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

However, the matter was far from over. Before Milo could find the right words to respond to the questions from the two gangs, the leader of another gang in Hezhou City, the Black Hand Clan, also hurried over with a group of people. They all had fierce looks on their faces, and it was obvious that they were not here with good intentions.

Milo looked at the tense situation in front of him and secretly complained in his heart. The three major gangs in Hezhou City had gathered together, and it was obvious that they were coming for Liu Jun and the others.

Seeing so many ferocious guys, even if Milo wanted to stop them, he knew that he was powerless to save the situation when facing the combined forces of the three major gangs.

Milo sighed helplessly and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Everyone, please calm down first. Our Haoyue Restaurant has always adhered to the principle of honest business and will never allow any theft to happen on our territory. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk to see if we can find a peaceful solution."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shangshanhu's rough voice: "Talk? What's there to talk about! Our White Tiger Gang's war horses are priceless. If you don't hand them over today, we will tear down this restaurant!"

The president of the Qingse Society and the leader of the Black Hand Sect also echoed the idea, and the situation was about to explode. Milo looked at all this, feeling helpless and worried.

"Tear it down? I'm here. If you have the guts, show me how you tear it down!" A sonorous and powerful yet feminine voice suddenly sounded, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Then, a figure wearing a sexy red cheongsam appeared at the door of the restaurant, like a blooming flaming rose. The cheongsam was well-cut, outlining her graceful figure to the fullest, and every step she took exuded endless charm. "Boss lady!" Milo and the waiters around saw this and hurriedly saluted respectfully.

The gang leaders who had been so aggressive, the moment they saw the woman appear, the arrogance on their faces instantly disappeared, and was replaced by a barely perceptible fear and retreat.

They secretly wondered in their hearts that this person was none other than the proprietress of Haoyue Restaurant, Jin Yueyue, a legendary woman who was quite influential in both the black and white worlds.

Jin Yueyue, this name is almost known to everyone in the city. It is said that she comes from the mysterious God King City and has a powerful background unknown to the public.

Although there are always different opinions about her specific origin and background, and no one can give a definite answer, this does not prevent her from establishing an unshakable monument in people's hearts.

They only knew that Jin Yueyue was not just a restaurant owner. Because the last city guard who dared to cause trouble in Haoyue Restaurant thought he was extremely powerful, but within a few days, he was inexplicably thrown into prison and escorted to Shenwang City for the most stringent trial. This incident undoubtedly became a symbol of the inviolability of Haoyue Restaurant, and made everyone more respectful of Jin Yueyue.

At this moment, Jin Yueyue stood at the door of the restaurant, her eyes as sharp as torches, scanning everyone present.

"Hmph, let me see who dares to act wildly on my turf!" Jin Yueyue snorted coldly, her voice was crisp and cold, and it instantly quieted the entire noisy scene.

Several gang leaders waved their hands and stepped back, with fear and uneasiness on their faces.

"We dare not, we dare not." They nodded and bowed as they spoke, for fear of angering the young lady.

"Is there anything else? If not, get out of here." Jin Yueyue said with a cold face, her tone full of impatience and threats.

"Yes, yes." Several gang leaders nodded in agreement as if they had been pardoned, then hurriedly left with their men.

The entrance of Haoyue Restaurant suddenly became quiet, as if the noise just now had never existed.

"What's going on?" Jin Yueyue turned and asked Milo beside her, with a bit of confusion and curiosity in her tone.

Milo lowered his voice and told the story of Liu Jun and his men. He described in detail the situation from the time when Liu Jun and his men were blackmailed by the soldiers at the gate to everything that happened afterwards, including their appearance, words and deeds, and the top-grade spirit stones in their hands.

"You mean, they have several top-grade spirit stones and they show off so ostentatiously?" Jin Yueyue frowned, her tone full of surprise and confusion.

She knew very well how precious and rare the top-grade spirit stones were, and she also understood that the owner must not be an ordinary person, because ordinary people, let alone top-grade spirit stones, might not even see lower-grade spirit stones once in their lifetime.

"Yes." Milo nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He knew Jin Yueyue's character and methods very well, and he also understood that this matter might cause her considerable trouble.

Jin Yueyue frowned even more, and she fell into deep thought. In a situation like this, there are only two possibilities: one is that the other party is really stupid, the kind of upstart who has just arrived and has good luck, and does not know how to be low-key and hide; the other is that the other party is fearless, has strong strength and background, and does not take anyone seriously.

"Where are they?" Jin Yueyue asked.

"In the No. 1 Tianzi Courtyard." Milo replied.

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Jin Yueyue walked briskly towards the carved door, thinking in her mind how to find out the other party's identity.

At this time, in Courtyard No. 1, Xu Baoer was sitting next to Liu Jun, her big eyes rolling around, looking particularly smart.

"Brother, that big sister is coming to our place." She lowered her voice, with a hint of excitement and curiosity in her tone.

Liu Jun gently sipped the tea in his hand, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Well, I know, this woman is quite interesting."

Soon, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence in the yard.

"Dear guests, I am the proprietress of Haoyue Restaurant. I have specially sent you a jar of Haoyue wine specially made by our Haoyue Restaurant. I hope this jar of fine wine can add some fun to your gathering." Jin Yueyue said after taking a deep breath.

Liu Jun's mouth curled up even more when he heard this. "Yeah, I don't like drinking."

His answer was brief and direct, with a hint of teasing in his tone, as if he was deliberately teasing Jin Yueyue who was outside the door.

Jin Yueyue was standing at the door, ready to push it open and walk in, but when she heard these words, she froze there.

Jin Yueyue hesitated for a few seconds, then gently patted the door frame, as if trying to adjust her mood, and then spoke again, with a little more gentleness and insistence in her voice: "Dear guest, this Haoyue wine is the treasure of our restaurant. You might as well try it, maybe you will change your mind."
