Who in the world does not know you?

Chapter 92 A Land of Outstanding People and Abundant Resources

After Wen Zhao finished speaking, he walked away without giving Leng Xiao a chance to reply.

She knew Leng Xiao didn't want to fight her.

But for her, Leng Xiao was the first peer of her age who could catch her eye in her entire life.

Leng Xiao had never seen a woman like Wen Zhao before.

With his noble status as the young master of the Wanjie Sect, he was treated with respect wherever he went. There were quite a few young women from various sects in the martial arts world who fell in love with him at first sight, but none of them chased after him to fight.

Moreover, Wen Zhao's actions and tone before leaving made Leng Xiao feel as if he had been teased.

This feeling made him furious, but he had nowhere to vent it.

Just then, the members of the Canglang Gang helped each other to their feet. They were all injured, with blood everywhere they touched, and their expressions were not good.

Yun Luobai hadn't left yet. He wasn't in a hurry to leave. His fortune-telling stall wasn't exactly a legitimate business, so going a little earlier or later wouldn't make much difference.

Seeing that Yun Luobai hadn't left, the members of the Canglang Gang, knowing that Yun Luobai and Wen Zhao were companions, should have taken this opportunity to retaliate. However, they were all seriously injured and had lost face in broad daylight, so they just wanted to slink away.

Just as everyone was dejected and about to leave, the burly man with a face full of scars also saw the sneer on the stairs.

He was taken aback at first, then wiped the blood seeping from his forehead and forced a smile.

"Young Master Leng, what are you doing here? It's been quite a while since we last met. I should be the one offering you a drink."

"If you've ever read the underworld tabloids, you'll know why I'm here. Our relationship isn't close enough for us to sit together drinking and chatting. Hurry up and take your men to find a place to bandage your wounds. You don't need to pretend to be something you're not; your face is already swollen."

"..."

The burly man was clearly the leader of the Canglang Gang. Seeing Leng Xiao's ruthless words, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. However, due to the other party's special status, he could only cup his fists and leave with a wave of his hand, leading the others behind him away.

Yun Luobai followed behind the others, also preparing to leave.

However, he had met Leng Xiao in his guest room before, so they weren't exactly strangers.

"Young Master Leng doesn't seem like the type to enjoy watching a spectacle."

"I was in the room for too long, so I came down to get some fresh air after hearing the noise."

Yun Luobai was too lazy to expose Leng Xiao's true purpose for coming downstairs. He hadn't expected that Leng Xiao would know those Canglang Gang members.

If the entire martial arts world is divided into the righteous and the wicked, the Wan Jie Sect, with its many masters, can be considered the leader of the underworld in the Central Plains.

As the young master of the Myriad Tribulations Sect, Leng Xiao should theoretically have no right to have any dealings with the so-called Canglang Gang.

"I heard from Wen Zhao that those people are from the Canglang Gang, and the leader is an old acquaintance of Young Master Leng. But the Canglang Gang and the Wanjie Sect both operate in the martial arts world, so it's normal for you to know each other."

"That man is Hao Yun, the son of Hao Ruyi, the leader of the Canglang Gang. The Canglang Gang is one of the subordinate gangs of the Wuling Pavilion. I went to the Wuling Pavilion once before, and at that time he and his father were meeting with the Pavilion Master. That's when he introduced himself to me and wanted to have some dealings with me in the future."

Recalling the scene of Hao Yun trying to curry favor with Leng Xiao but failing miserably, Yun Luobai couldn't help but smile.

"It seems Hao Yun's efforts to win over customers have backfired, and his luck really isn't that great..."

Yun Luobai smiled and shook his head, then strode out of the inn.

As the parties involved left one by one, the struggle within the Ruyi Inn finally came to an end.

However, a lot of things in the inn were damaged after the vandalism. The innkeeper pulled the waiter to the side of the stairs, pointed to the environment inside the inn and told the waiter that when more guests came to eat, he would arrange for the newly arrived guests to be placed in an area that had not been affected. In this way, the inn would not have to close down and could still make a profit.

"Innkeeper, she got into a fight in your inn, and you just let her leave? Why didn't you ask her to compensate you for the damaged items?"

Leng Xiao interrupted at this moment, and the shopkeeper looked up at the top of the stairs, his honest face full of smiles.

"My esteemed guest, you may not know this, but whenever that troublemaker damages someone's property, the Wen Family Escort Agency will naturally provide compensation, and the compensation will certainly be much higher than the loss itself. If the loss is substantial, and the young master of General Yun Que's mansion finds out, he will naturally send his servants to deliver the silver notes. This has been the case for many years."

"I see."

"There was a time when every household hoped that troublemaker would come and cause trouble at their shop. You wouldn't believe it, I used to sell pancakes on the street. That year, the troublemaker got into a fight in the street, and the other person hid in my house. After that, my house was basically destroyed. Later, Young Master Qing paid me a large sum of money, but the problem was that I was already penniless and lived a very poor life. With that money, I was able to take over the shop and open an inn. This time, who knows, I might even be able to expand the business!"

He sneered, pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and felt a tightness in his chest, unable to speak for a long time.

"Your Ningzhou Prefecture... truly is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources..."

Wen Zhao followed Xiao Xu back to the escort agency. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw several large red lacquered boxes densely packed together at the entrance.

The boy in the courtyard wore a silver hair crown and a clean white robe. Hearing footsteps behind him, he immediately turned around while talking to Wen Ran in a warm voice, his face showing a joyful expression.

"Wen Zhao, I..."

Before he could utter a single word, Wen Zhao jumped up and grabbed the crown on his head, causing him to wince in pain.

"Liu Xuan! Are you so desperate you're on your last breath? If you're going to die, go find a doctor. My second brother and I are having dinner, and you're dragging me into this? Get the hell out of here right now!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Miss Wen! I'm here to deliver a shipment!"

"You're talking nonsense! I can tell you're just here to cause trouble!"

The bodyguards formed a circle, watching Liu Xuan's gloating face with glee. Everyone understood Liu Xuan's intention to make Wen Zhao sign the escort contract in front of him, after all, this wasn't the first time Liu Xuan had done something like this.

Seeing Wen Zhao's rude treatment of his employer, Wen Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Liu Xuan's family mainly ran a silk shop, and they were considered very wealthy in Ningzhou Prefecture. He was a scholar, and he was usually gentle and polite, with the word "refined" practically written on his face.

Who would have thought that such a refined young man would secretly fall in love with Wen Zhao, this troublesome devil? Wen Ran, Wen Zhao's father, would never have imagined it either.

Liu Xuan was of upright character and had the demeanor of a humble gentleman. If Wen Zhao agreed, his father would have no objections.

Judging from the current situation, Liu Xuan's hopes seem slim...

"Xiao Xu, quickly go to the back room and invite Madam over. Besides her mother, who else can handle this girl..."
