When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

"A few days ago at the martial arts competition, Master Ouyang said in front of the whole city that your Wanxiang Pavilion has always been meticulous in doing business. How come you're trying to cheat your old customers today?"

A man dressed as a scholar was surrounded by a crowd, speaking eloquently to Peach's mother.

Although Madam Tao's face was full of anger, she dared not retaliate and said, "Guest, our Wanxiang Restaurant is indeed meticulous in its business practices..."

"Then tell me, why do you charge my brother for two hours when he only played for an hour?" the man said, patting a thin, short man next to him.

When he patted the short man, the man trembled a few times, clearly terrified.

"He arrived before we opened. Considering he's a regular customer, I let him into the room early, and he did indeed play for two hours," Mama Tao explained.

The scholar-looking man sneered, opened his folding fan, and on the fan were four large, flowing characters: "Righteousness Endures Forever."

"If it's not open for business, why should it be counted in the time?" the man asked with a sneer.

Madam Tao was speechless for a moment. After a long silence, she said, "Alright, then Chun Tao is confused. Let's just say this young master has an hour."

"Hey, this isn't about timing, it's about the way things are done." The man wasn't about to let Peach's mother off the hook and continued to press her. "My brother here just wants fairness. Since he wants fairness, then I'll give him fairness, and even more fairness than he wants."

As he spoke, the man took a few steps forward, and his imposing manner even startled Tao's mother, who had seen countless people, causing her to take a few steps back.

"Since your Wanxianglou is so meticulous in doing business, why would you make a mistake in calculating the money?"

"Since you know it should be counted as one hour, why did you start by counting it as two hours?"

"They just want an explanation, why don't you just give them one, instead of being so aggressive?"

The man closed his folding fan, raised his fist, and shouted, "Aren't you bullying honest people?!"

The entire venue erupted in uproar.

Lin Xuan frowned.

This person is definitely here to cause trouble.

For regular customers, Wanxianglou allows them to enter their rooms before the restaurant opens, a privilege reserved for them.

As for whether or not it's included in the price, that depends on how the customer negotiates with them.

The short man clearly understood this principle, but he remained silent, probably intending to cause trouble from the start.

What they seized upon was Ouyang Chengdu's statement at the martial arts competition: "Wanxianglou has always been meticulous in its business dealings."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Ouyang Chengdu finally appeared.

When everyone saw that Ouyang Chengdu had arrived, they all made way for him.

Ouyang Chengdu walked up to the short man and the scholar-looking man, and asked, "What exactly do you want, sir?"

"My friend here wants an explanation." The man patted the short man beside him, opened his folding fan, and looked at Ouyang Chengdu with a smile.

Ouyang Chengdu glanced at the short man and saw that he was timid and didn't seem like the kind of person who would cause trouble for no reason.

He was most likely being used.

"What kind of explanation do you want?" Ouyang Chengdu looked at the other party expressionlessly.

The man looked at Ouyang Chengdu with a half-smile and said, "Master Ouyang, you keep saying that Wanxianglou is meticulous in doing business, but you have made such a mistake in the accounts."

"So, tell me, isn't the reputation of your Wanxianglou as unreliable as your words?"

The man's words were quite malicious; if they were true, Wanxianglou's business would suffer a significant blow.

Ouyang Chengdu said, "It is precisely because we are meticulous in doing business that we charge for two hours."

"But he went in before you opened for business."

"Once you're inside, it's considered payment."

"Hahaha, do you think the rules of your Wanxianglou restaurant are all based on your words?"

"I'm the original poster. If I can't set the rules, should I let you set them?"

"Master Ouyang, since you've put it this way, does that mean that if guests come here to play in the future, the amount of money they spend will be entirely up to you? Anyway, you set the rules, and you can even raise prices on the spot."

Ouyang Chengdu narrowed his eyes and said, "I always act according to the rules."

"But you just said that the rules are made by you, so the rules you set are completely meaningless and can be changed at your own discretion," the man retorted.

Ouyang Chengdu frowned deeply, seemingly having fallen into the other party's linguistic trap.

The man gave a smug sneer and said, "Master Ouyang, it seems your Wanxiang Pavilion isn't so great after all. You always claim to be meticulous in business, but what's the result?"

At this point, Lin Xuan couldn't listen anymore and stepped forward to question, "Who said he played inside for two hours?"

The man turned his head and glanced at Lin Xuan, then sneered and said, "I said it."

"Which dog eye did you see that with?" Lin Xuan asked again.

"How vulgar! Of course, I saw it with both eyes," the man said.

Lin Xuan said, "But I didn't see it."

"Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen?" the man retorted.

Lin Xuan sneered and walked step by step toward the man, saying, "Since you say you saw it, then lend me your eyes so I can see it too."

The man sensed a strong killing intent emanating from Lin Xuan, and immediately turned pale with fright, hastily retreating.

"What do you think you're doing? The dignified heir of the Prince of Zhenbei, how dare you bully others by abusing your power?" the man shouted.

Lin Xuan sneered and questioned, "How do you know I am the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei?"

"I... I know, of course. Your performance at the martial arts tournament made you known throughout Qingzhou City," the man explained.

Lin Xuan replied, "They only know that Lin Xuan won, but they don't know what Lin Xuan looks like. But you know what I look like. Does that mean you entered the inner area of ​​the martial arts tournament?"

The man, sweat beading on his forehead, said, "So what if I go in?"

"The Martial Arts Tournament is open to all but martial arts practitioners. You're now pretending to be a scholar, putting on a righteous and indignant act. I'm afraid you've been planning this for a long time, haven't you?" Lin Xuan approached the other party step by step.

The man quickly replied, "You...you're talking nonsense!"

"Stop pretending. You're a martial artist too, why are you acting like a scholar?" Lin Xuan snorted coldly, slowly clenching his fist. A powerful surge of true energy gathered on his knuckles. "If you keep pretending, you'll lose your life."

"You...you still want to kill me? Ouyang Chengdu, is this how Wanxianglou operates? Killing people when you're in the wrong?" the man shouted at Ouyang Chengdu.

Lin Xuan replied, "I just wanted to see if your friend really went in and played for two hours."

"You want an explanation? Fine, I'll have Ouyang Chengdu give you an explanation after I've finished reading it."

"But why won't you lend me your eyes? How am I supposed to know if he really went in and played for two hours if you don't lend me your eyes?"

The man pointed at Tao's mother and said, "She saw it, she just said..."

"I didn't see it," Peach's mother immediately changed her tune.

The man froze, then quickly said to the short man beside him, "Tell me, didn't you go in and play for two hours?!"

The dwarf was so frightened he couldn't speak.

Seeing that the dwarf remained silent, Lin Xuan sneered and said, "It seems that what you said is not true, and you came here to cause trouble."

"Master Ouyang, how do you deal with people who deliberately cause trouble?"

Ouyang Chengdu coldly replied, "He'll be torn to pieces!"

"Alright." Lin Xuan circulated his internal energy, clenched his fists, and his powerful aura caused the onlookers to take several steps back.
