My Way

Chapter 1237 [Lixianglou] (Part Two)
hum~
The ability to handle difficult problems?
I may not have it.

But I definitely possess the ability to avoid difficult problems!!
For most practitioners, the truth of the matter is pretty much the same.

after all.

As an immortal being, if you don't even have this much ability, it's hard for people to believe that you can live to the day you die of old age.

So, looking at his henchman who had turned into a bloody mist and been washed away by the wind and rain, after a moment of hesitation with wide eyes, Young Master Zhao decisively chose to pretend that he hadn't seen anything, as if nothing had just happened.

His previously arrogant and domineering henchmen instantly became quieter than the next, their postures becoming perfectly straight, as if they were just irrelevant gatekeepers.

As for the maids, after a brief moment of shock, they all quickly regained their composure and resumed their smiling faces, without screaming or making a sound, maintaining a peaceful and serene demeanor.

In short, everyone acted quite sensibly at this moment, making sure Ling Wuyuan didn't feel displeased or put him in a difficult position.

Until, led by the shopkeeper, he entered a special mechanism that functioned like an elevator and headed towards the top floor.

The people present breathed a slight sigh of relief and relaxed.

but.

Even now.

They dared not speak or make any movements.

Those who followed Young Master Zhao only dared to slowly leave [Lixianglou] after seeing him give them a meaningful look.

That was an extremely cautious action.

finally.

After they had run several hundred meters, the group finally dared to speak in hushed tones.

"Young Master Zhao, what are we going to do next...?"

Although the words were not fully expressed, the meaning behind them was quite clear.

Hear the words.

Young Master Zhao first glanced back at [Lixianglou], then answered sternly:

"Go and get rid of all of Liu Rong's relatives!!"

"That idiot!!"

"Almost killed everyone!!"

That was a reply filled with resentment and lingering fear.

He doesn't mind that his henchmen are clever.

But he utterly despises utterly mindless cleverness!

That guy named Liu Rong is a prime example.

now.

Recalling how he had almost been killed on the spot when he had only wanted to ask about the situation, Young Master Zhao's face immediately turned red.

The kind of red that's warm and reddish!
The more I think about it, the angrier I become.

He wished he could resurrect Liu Rong on the spot and personally skin him alive!

As for revenge?

Although he felt that he did have a strong background and shouldn't need to fear the various local forces on Qingbai Island... that guy just now was so unfamiliar and so powerful, he must be an outsider.

He might be someone you can't afford to offend.

Furthermore.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became to realize that from beginning to end, the masked man had never looked at him directly.

Not even a single glance...

That was pure and indiscriminate indifference.

This shows that his choice was indeed quite wise.

If he had dared to clash with the other party, he would have died on the spot just like Liu Rong.

The people around Young Master Zhao, after hearing his answer, were a little puzzled as to why he didn't mention Ling Wuyuan, but out of caution, they didn't dare to ask Young Master Zhao, who was obviously in a bad mood, for fear that they would be implicated. They could only silently mourn for Liu Rong, who had gotten into trouble by flattering others.

Of course. It was just a moment of silence.

plead?

That's absolutely impossible.

The other party not only almost killed Young Master Zhao, but also almost killed them all.

Therefore, at most, they would act more swiftly when killing the other party's entire family, simply because they were all old acquaintances.
-
At the same time.

Through various channels, news of what happened at [Lixianglou] was spreading rapidly.

There is no other reason.

As one of the best restaurants on Qingbai Island, Lixianglou is located in a place that is always crowded and noisy.

In just a few minutes, the various forces on Qingbai Island obtained first-hand intelligence at an extremely fast pace.

however.

This is due to the extremely limited amount of intelligence information available.

Although the various powers knew that Ling Wuyuan was definitely not simple, they had no idea just how extraordinary he was...

at the moment.

After thinking about it for a moment.

Someone who holds the title of "Lord of Qingbai Island" and is the behind-the-scenes backer of "Lixianglou" directly chose to have "Lixianglou" treat Ling Wuyuan with the best attitude, just to establish a good relationship.

As for whether or not to investigate the other party's background and origins?
As a strong person who has managed to get to where he is today.

The island owner doesn't have any tumors in his brain that would affect his intelligence.

Why bother checking other people's backgrounds?
In a world where everyone has secrets to some extent, that kind of behavior could be fatal!

Moreover, Ling Wuyuan's previous habit of killing without a second thought clearly demonstrated that he was not an easy person to get along with... Therefore, the island lord had no reason to investigate further or try to get close to him; he only needed to have the [Lixianglou] treat Ling Wuyuan well.

It's not pleasing.

But you also don't want to offend anyone.

Purely to establish a good connection.
-
It didn't take long.

On the top floor of [Lixianglou].

He treated Ling Wuyuan's shopkeeper like a grandson.

After receiving a message from the maid beside him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then treated Ling Wuyuan with even greater care.

after all.

Even though he still didn't know who Ling Wuyuan was.

But after spending time together, he realized that... the other person was really just there for a meal and didn't have any other intentions.

This directly means that as long as he treats Ling Wuyuan well and does his job well, there is no danger in the whole matter.

therefore.

What he fears most is that his immediate supervisor is not thinking clearly and forces him to do something dangerous that puts him in a difficult position, such as asking him to test the other party's identity and background, or asking him to recruit the other party on his behalf...

All they want is to eat!

Why are you doing all those fancy tricks?!

of course.

This further proves that the guy who just died was indeed stupid enough to die...

He could have survived by doing nothing, but he chose to be clever instead.

For a while.

The shopkeeper, who felt that although things were a bit dangerous, they were still under his control, felt much less pressure and became more relaxed when introducing the dishes to Ling Wuyuan.

By the way.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but secretly wonder if he could get a tip or reward afterward... After all, that's how important people are; as long as your service satisfies them, they don't mind giving away money on the spot.
