Chapter 225 Is My Eldest Brother Just for Show?
Seeing the brutal scene before him, Pigsy's face first showed a hint of shock, then quickly replaced by a smug expression. He put his hands on his hips and shouted, "You think my big brother is just for show? Let me tell you, we still have..."
Kongming looked helpless, turned around and glared at Zhu Ganglie, and only then did the guy restrain himself.
The commotion made Ji Wushuang and his group stop, and he frowned slightly.
"Young Master Wushuang, I am truly sorry. These three foolishly disturbed you. I will go and deal with them immediately!"
Steward Xu cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Ji Wushuang, his eyes filled with both flattery and ruthlessness.
Ji Wushuang's lips curled up slightly, forming an extremely contemptuous arc. In his eyes, they were nothing more than three insignificant ants, whose lives or deaths he did not care about at all.
He didn't even bother to look at Kongming and the other two again. He simply raised his chin slightly, let out a faint snort, and continued walking forward on his own.
Steward Xu was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered. With a fawning smile still on his face, he respectfully said to Ji Wushuang's back, "Young Master Wushuang, please go first! Let me take care of this small matter first, and then I will come to bother you again!"
After saying that, Steward Xu turned around, his eyes instantly turning sinister and ruthless as he stared intently at Kongming and the other two.
He approached slowly, step by step, his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation level clearly displayed, each step carrying a surging killing intent.
"You three ignorant fools, daring to offend Young Master Wushuang, today is your death day!"
"Steward Xu, have you misunderstood something? I have never had any ill will towards Ji Wushuang, so how could I have offended him!"
Kongming stared at the murderous-looking Steward Xu and said calmly.
"Hmph! You're courting death! Even if you only glanced at a distinguished guest like Young Master Wushuang, it's disrespectful and you deserve to die!" Steward Xu's face was gloomy, and his killing intent was not concealed at all.
Hahaha……
Kongming was so angry that he laughed, and then threw the "Heavenly Number" jade tablet at Steward Xu.
Am I not a distinguished guest?
Steward Xu subconsciously reached out and caught the jade pendant. When he saw the three large characters "Heavenly Number" on it, his expression instantly turned somewhat ugly.
The "Heavenly Number" jade plaque is not only for the most distinguished guests of Yunyin Inn, but also a symbol of status.
This jade pendant was issued in extremely limited quantities. Apart from the Nascent Soul stage experts of various countries who were qualified to possess it, it was a temporary gift. For example, when Kongming was favored by Sima Xun'er, he received one as a gift, but he had to return it afterward.
Kousheng City is the gateway to Shengzhou, and Lord Liu has kinship ties with the Sima family. To put it bluntly, he is guarding the gate for these ancient aristocratic families, and no one dares to say a word against it.
On the contrary, those ancient aristocratic families don't need this thing at all, because the words "ancient aristocratic families" are enough.
Steward Xu stroked the jade pendant with his fingers, his mind in turmoil.
On the one hand, they couldn't ruin their own reputation; on the other hand, Ji Wushuang was from an ancient family, and it would be difficult to explain if they let Kongming go so easily.
Which one is more important?
After much deliberation, Steward Xu decided to investigate first. If they were just some insignificant disciples of Nascent Soul cultivators, then he could only blame his bad luck!
Having made up his mind, Steward Xu glanced at Kongming with a forced smile and said, his eyes gleaming.
“The three of you are unfamiliar faces. This ‘Heavenly’ jade tablet has an extraordinary origin and is related to the reputation of my Cloud Hidden Inn. Please tell me which Nascent Soul senior bestowed it upon us. If its origin is indeed legitimate, I, Xu, will certainly treat you with the highest level of hospitality without any objection.”
Kongming sneered inwardly. Chief Steward Xu's words sounded grand and dignified, but in reality, they carried the air of a life-or-death decision.
However, he remained calm and asked, "This jade pendant was a gift from Miss Liu Mengli. Is there a problem with it?"
Upon hearing this, Steward Xu's smile froze instantly. The Liu family was his employer, and he never expected that this "Heavenly Grade" jade pendant would be related to Liu Mengli...
