Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"I'm sorry, sir. Don't even mention that it's an all-inclusive package. Just based on the title 'Deputy General of the Marquis of Ningguo,' we simply cannot rent this room to you! You must understand, I'm doing this for your own good!"

The shopkeeper said with a sincere expression.

"I'm not falling for that!" Ni Mantian drew her soft sword!

"Mantian!" Luo Shiyi called out softly, afraid of causing trouble as soon as she entered the capital.

"I want to see what kind of spoiled brats the capital are!" Ni Mantian didn't hear his voice and walked straight over.

"We are the family members of the Deputy General of Ningguo!" the servant shouted. "What do you want to do!"

"I don't want to do anything!" Ni Mantian said as she walked forward. "I just want to show you, this spoiled brat from the capital, what the spoiled brats of Penglai are like!"

"What!" The servant was forced to retreat step by step by her. The owner of the whip was also a girl; she withdrew her hand and cried out, "Second Brother!"

"Someone's bullying my sister?!" Some dark-skinned, overweight men, wearing clothes trimmed with gold, stepped out of the carriage behind them!

"Young master! This little wench, she'll have to teach us a lesson!" The servant quickly pushed him to his side.

"Humph!"

That dark-skinned, fat man had actually mastered a form of martial arts that involved physical strength!

His solid skills allowed him to withstand Ni Mantian's attacks for quite some time. Ni Mantian was somewhat annoyed that an ordinary mortal could withstand her attacks.

"Mantian, calm down!" Lin Yaoxie stood aside, his hands behind his back, watching them.

"Shh!" Hua Qiangu gestured to Tang Bao to be quiet, urging everyone to look carefully at the sky filled with rain.

"Hmph!" Hearing Lin Yaoxie say that, Ni Mantian calmed down and slowly unfolded her sword techniques, layer by layer covering the dark and fat man. Gradually, fine scars appeared on the dark and fat man's body!

"We lost!" Lin Yaoxie said.

"Manager, aren't you going to tidy up the rooms? They're not staying here anymore!" Luo Shiyi said to the manager as he walked over.

"You've gone too far!"

"Brother! Let's go!"

The families of these deputy generals all left in anger.

Only the shopkeeper shook his head, looking at Ni Mantian and saying, "Miss, do you know how much trouble you've gotten yourself into with this impulsive argument?"

Ni Mantian said nonchalantly, "I'm also a spoiled brat with connections! What's there to be afraid of!" As she spoke, she glanced at her powerful backer, who was carrying Tang Bao into the inn!

Chapter Twenty-Six: Getting Back at You

Hua Qiangu carried Tang Bao back to the room. The past few days of living in the open had left her feeling tired and sleepy.

After all, the others in the group all have a foundation in cultivation, so they are better able to adapt to many situations. But as for myself, if the evil brother were to take me along all the time, I would really be a burden.

"Mommy, why do you look a little unhappy?" Tangbao asked, twisting her little head.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I'm too stupid, I can't help with anything!" Hua Qiangu said with some annoyance.

"Daddy won't care, as long as he's here, it's fine!" Tang Bao said nonchalantly. "Dongfang can fight, but he doesn't fight either, isn't that good enough?"

Hua Qiangu recalled what her brother, the demon, had told her when she first met him: to become strong, to be the best version of herself, to be true to herself! "Tang Bao, do you think I can be like Qing Shui and Ni Mantian?!"

"What do you mean?!" Tangbao didn't understand.

“That’s right… I’ll also cultivate and learn swordsmanship!” Hua Qiangu pointed to a small sword with her fingers and said to Tang Bao.

"Why not? Your evil father is so powerful, why not just have him teach you?"

"That's what I say, but I'm afraid he'll find me troublesome."

"No way! My evil father loves my bone mother the most!"

Hua Qiangu nodded unconsciously when she heard Tang Bao say that. Compared to Qing Shui and Ni Mantian, Lin Yaoxie did treat her differently!

"Then I'll find some time another day to ask Brother Yaoxie!"

"You little wench from earlier, get out here right now!" A voice like that of a thug rang out from outside the door!

"Mother Bone! Have you come looking for us too?"

"This is..." The matter that happened just now has already come to our door so quickly?! After a moment's thought, Hua Qiangu quickly took Tang Bao with her and ran out the door.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Qing Shui pulling Ni Mantian along, quietly advising her to stay calm.

Lin Yaoxie also came out with Luo Shiyi. He wanted to see just how capable the royal relatives and nobles in the capital really were!

“Brother Yao Xie…” Hua Qiangu walked up and naturally took Lin Yao Xie’s arm.

"Control yourself! Control yourself!" Luo Shiyi stood in front of Ni Mantian.

"I want to see who it is that keeps coming back to see this little miss!"

"It's alright! In the capital, I'm still here!" Meng Xuanlang, contrary to his usual behavior, did not back down but instead declared triumphantly.

Luo Shiyi glanced at him thoughtfully, but didn't ask any further questions.

Shuofeng, sword in hand, followed the others towards the door. If Ni Mantian couldn't beat him, there was him; if he couldn't beat her, there was Lin Yaoxie! What was there to be afraid of!

"Oh dear, sirs, why are you all out here!" The shopkeeper sighed helplessly as he saw everyone strolling out leisurely.

"Second Young Master! Look! It's them!" The little girl with the whip, who was the deputy general's family member, was looking at them with disgust and whispering to a tall but repulsive-looking man next to her.

"Who bullied my sister! Step forward! I won't harm the innocent!" The second young master shouted arrogantly with his ugly face.

"May I ask, what kind of Second Young Master are you!" Ni Mantian walked out on her own.

"The second son of the Marquis of Ningguo!"

"This second young master is rather dim-witted; he couldn't even tell that Mantian was mocking him!" Qingshui whispered to Hua Qiangu.

"Hmm, he looks like he's not very bright. It's improper for the Second Young Master to be hanging out with the Deputy General's family!" Dongfang, who was standing behind, nodded in agreement.

"I hope Mantian will show mercy!" Luo Shiyi's worries were different from everyone else's.

"Second Young Master, he bullied my brother and me! We beg you to avenge us!" The girl now appeared weak and frail, all the strength she had shown when she wielded the whip was gone!

"I think you're quite good-looking. How about this: if you're willing to come back to the Ningguo Marquis's residence with me, I'll forgive and forget everything that happened before, how about it?!"

The second young master's lecherous eyes lingered on Ni Mantian.

"He's really asking for it!"

Dongfang couldn't help but sigh. "How dare they flirt with the daughter of the Penglai Sect Leader? It seems this fight won't end without bloodshed."

"Pervert!" Ni Mantian roared and flew straight at the Second Young Master!

Unexpectedly, this second young master was no fool. His first move revealed that he must have practiced martial arts in his youth and had experienced the trials of war. His skills were shrewd and practiced, and he held nothing back. Every move was aimed at vital points.

"Young lady, I see you are still young and consider that you are naive. Come to the Marquis's residence and I can teach you a lesson!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Mantian was already furious. Her swordplay was already forced by his killing move, and she retreated step by step, eventually losing all her fighting ability.

"Are you deliberately throwing the game so that I can win and then take you back without any problem?!"

The second young master spouted a lot of trashy words, every single one of which made Ni Mantian feel nauseous and want to vomit.

However, he was in no hurry to end the competition. Whenever he smoked, he would get closer to Ni Mantian, as if he wanted to take advantage of her in public.

“What should we do?” Luo Shiyi was worried. After all, he was the one who brought Ni Mantian out. If something happened to Ni Mantian, how could he explain it to the head of Penglai Sect?

"Shuofeng!" Lin Yaoxie called out, indicating that it was his turn to take over.

Shuofeng nodded and stepped forward!

"Oh ho, the little girl can't beat you, so you're going to find someone else to embarrass yourself?!" The ungrateful second young master laughed and cursed loudly again.

"Get lost!" Ni Mantian was still not giving up and wanted to continue teaching this person a lesson, but Shuofeng used a clever trick to pull her back, and she fell right onto Qingshui.

"Don't go. This person is an outsider, and his killing move is exactly what you need! Why bother struggling anymore!" Qing Shui analyzed.

“Brother Yaoxie…” Ni Mantian looked at Lin Yaoxie with some grievance. She had never been treated like this before.

"Shuofeng will teach him a lesson, just you watch." Lin Yaoxie curled the corner of his mouth. "Later, you'll be the one to teach him a lesson yourself!"

Hearing him say that comforted Ni Mantian a lot.

Shuofeng's moves were different from Ni Mantian's, more fluid and sharp. His fancy combos left the Second Young Master somewhat overwhelmed, and he soon found himself in a sorry state.

"What's wrong? Are you still going to stand up for your family, the deputy general?" Ni Mantian stood aside and said sarcastically. "I don't know if this is how it is in the capital. When unreasonable people are bullied, they call their brother for help. When their brother loses, they go to someone else. Are you planning to have the Marquis of Ningguo stand up for you next time?"

"A spoiled brat is a spoiled brat!" Qing Shui sneered.

"Next time, look carefully before you act, so you don't break your back!"

The second young master led his men and fled in panic.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: An Unexpected Encounter with Meng Xuancong

"Is this how it is in the capital?" Hua Qiangu asked, following Lin Yaoxie. When they first arrived yesterday, they had fought twice in one day. The people in the capital were indeed not very friendly.

“Right? That’s how it is everywhere now,” Lin Yaoxie looked at her. “Whoever has the stronger fist gets to decide.”

"Daddy's fists are very hard! Don't worry, Mother Bone!" Tang Bao heard Lin Yaoxie say.

“But, Brother Yao Xie,” Hua Qiangu suddenly said righteously, “I don’t want to always stand behind you, hiding when you’re in trouble and letting you fight on your own. I want to become stronger!”

"Ha ha!"

Lin Yaoxie laughed and suddenly felt that Hua Qiangu had grown up and finally started to understand things. He had been thinking that if Hua Qiangu continued to be like this, then even if the artifacts were all collected, he would not want Hua Qiangu to activate them.

"Suddenly want to become stronger??" Lin Yaoxie patted her head. "That's a good thing. You were meant to cultivate anyway. I'll teach you from now on!"

"Okay! I will try my best!" Hua Qiangu replied with a smile.

"Where are we going to eat?" Qing Shui asked softly.

"Let's go to Yushui Village!" Meng Xuanlang shouted. He had lived in the capital for many years and knew exactly where the best food was.

"Where is Yushui Village?!" Ni Mantian asked.

"Yushui Village is located on the west side of the city, and this restaurant is a well-established name in the capital. There's a dish called 'Snow Water Melting River,' which you'll absolutely never forget!"

"Really?" Hua Qiangu asked, somewhat impatiently.

“It’s true, this Jade Water Village is famous throughout the capital,” Meng Xuanlang said with a hint of pride. “Sometimes there aren’t any seats if you go late, so I didn’t tell you yesterday. I only told Bao Si today that we’ll set off early this morning, and we’re sure to get seats!”

"Then let's hurry up and go!" Everyone laughed and followed Meng Xuanlang's footsteps.

Head west of the city.
