Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

219 Beaten Up

When Kong Rui heard that person’s words, she realized that other than the major families who were participating in the spirit beast competition, many clans from different countries had also come to the imperial capital.

Kong Rui didn’t know about these clans in the past, but during the time she lived in the Li family’s home, Mr. Li paid special attention to her, his daughter who had suddenly become promising.

Not only did he give her some gifts from time to time, but he also ordered someone to send her a whole stack of books.

Those books contained books that introduced the various countries, sects, and clans of the five continents, as well as biographies of important figures.

Fortunately, Kong Niang had found a demon beast familiar with the Empire’s language to tutor Kong Rui for a while. Otherwise, even if Kong Rui obtained those books, she wouldn’t have been able to read them.

When she was bored, Kong Rui would read those books. It was a good way to pastime.

She didn’t expect that at this moment, she would be able to confirm the various families according to the characteristics described in the book.

However, the two people in front of her were probably descendants of some small family, since she had never seen their totem in books.

Kong Rui quietly listened to the people at the table beside her arguing with the two men. As things seemed to be getting more and more intense, she glanced in the direction of the private room.

Despite such a huge commotion outside, the people in the private room didn’t seem to have any reaction.

Who was waiting for Li Han in the private room?

As Kong Rui was thinking, she suddenly heard a loud bang beside her.

She immediately turned around and saw that the man with the flute had actually fallen to the ground. The maidservant who had spoken arrogantly just now was standing in front of him.

The maidservant placed her hands on her hips and looked down at the man lying on the ground as she snorted. “You can’t even defeat me, yet you still dare to cause a fuss here!”

Kong Rui couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. Even Ling Nuo, who was beside her, couldn’t help but laugh.

Although this maidservant was a little too arrogant, she was truly “capable”.

Another man went forward to help his companion up, as if he had no intention of avenging his companion.

He glanced at the maidservant and then at the surrounding people who were already eager to try. “The two of us didn’t mean to offend you guys. If we offended you guys in any way, I’ll apologize to everyone here.”

“Let’s go!” The person said as he pulled his companion away.

A burly man stood up and was about to stop the two of them when someone whispered something in his ear.

That person looked in the direction of the private room in surprise and made way for the two of them.

The Tu brothers didn’t pester him anymore and quickly walked towards the entrance of the teahouse.

The farce ended just like that. Feeling that something was wrong, Kong Rui frowned slightly.

However, before she could think about it carefully, she heard a delicate voice not far away. “The Li family is really strange. They were the ones who sent us the invitation, but now, they want us to stay outside the residence. What kind of hospitality is this?!”

Kong Rui’s heart skipped a beat as she looked towards the source of the voice. It was indeed the two ladies she had never seen before.

The woman in the orange dress was the one who spoke.

When Kong Rui glanced at the two of them, she saw the woman in the yellow dress pick up the teacup and take a sip. Then, she placed the teacup back on the table with a smile. After she put down the teacup, she looked around.

Kong Rui immediately looked away and turned her gaze back to the tea in front of her.

After looking at the tea, Kong Rui stopped picking up the teacup.

Ling Nuo sensed Kong Rui’s abnormality and asked, “Miss, is something wrong?”

Kong Rui said softly, “Call the waiter over.”

Ling Nuo looked around and immediately called the waiter over.

The waiter walked towards Kong Rui with a smile. “Miss, what can I do for you?”

“Has the teahouse’s tea been changed?” Kong Rui asked calmly.

“You’re an expert!” The waiter was amused when he heard that. “Tianxiang Restaurant has recently imported a new batch of high-grade tea, but this…”

“Who was the person who sold you guys tea?” Kong Rui asked anxiously before the waiter could finish.

The waiter was stunned for a moment before saying with a troubled expression, “Miss, you’re making things difficult for me!”
