Young Master Gao Yang says you’re not qualified, let your shopkeeper come out,” someone next to him began shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived, the first floor of the tavern was already scattered with people sitting here and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Young Master Gao Yang and his group began driving people away from other tables to clear out empty ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who was dissatisfied tried to argue, but was slapped several times until they were dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group of people was completely unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally quiet atmosphere was instantly destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why has Young Master Gao Yang decided to grace my humble place today?” a soft voice came from the back of the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, a woman gracefully walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a little older, around thirty-something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her looks were not the most stunning, but she could still be rated an eight out of ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main point was her figure, absolutely flawless, full where she should be full, slender where she should be slender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect body with not a single flaw to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who saw her would surely praise her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Xu, I just missed you,” Young Master Gao Yang said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the woman walked up to him, he stretched out his right hand to pull her into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was quick and graceful, turning slightly to avoid his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With white teeth and red lips she smiled, “Young Master Gao Yang, you’ve frightened my guests. That doesn’t look like missing me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be?” Young Master Gao Yang leaned against the table, smiling, “They’re worth how much anyway? If Sister Xu is short of money, you can just tell me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Mei, bring the menu and let Young Master Gao Yang choose what he’d like,” the woman did not continue the conversation but instead instructed another girl beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At another table, Xu Zimo and his group were watching this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ruhu laughed, “Aren’t we running into another playboy young master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, if he finishes putting on a show, then what are we here for?” Lin Ruhu thought for a bit and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush, let’s watch,” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bright Moon Tower was indeed impressive in its details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in service or decoration, it left a good impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Gao Yang picked up the menu, looking through it while his hand took liberties with the waitress holding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman looked embarrassed, only able to dodge awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Mei, step down,” the woman surnamed Xu waved her hand, seemingly unable to watch further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozen people Gao Yang brought could not fit at just one table, so another nearby group of guests was driven away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a young man and an old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man had silver hair, which was strikingly eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin was delicate, and though he was male, his feminine aura outweighed his masculinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On what grounds?” the young man, angered by having his seat taken, stood up and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand was already on the sword at his waist, but the old man with him stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He doesn’t understand, young masters, don’t take offense,” the old man quickly said with a forced smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their dishes had just been served, and they hadn’t even eaten a few bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s eyes scanned the first floor, finally landing on Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you gentlemen mind sharing your table?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their dishes were moved to Xu Zimo’s table, and the two sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the young man sat down, there was a faint fragrance from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ruhu felt uncomfortable and slid closer to Xu Zimo, whispering, “This guy doesn’t have… unusual preferences, does he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know the phrase ‘a woman disguised as a man’?” Xu Zimo replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Lin Ruhu froze for a moment, then seemed to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then carefully scrutinized the person, staring until the other’s face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this Young Master Gao Yang’s background? The people here seem to fear him quite a bit?” Little Gui asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man beside them still had some anger, snorting, “He’s only arrogant in this tiny patch of land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man, however, was more amiable. He first introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name was Wei Guohua, and the youth was called Wei Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were grandfather and grandson, visiting relatives here from the Violet Sun Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Young Master Gao Yang belongs to the Gao Clan, a well-known powerful clan in the imperial city of the Violet Sun Empire. Of course, such so-called powerful families are not much, within the empire they’re nothing more than lackeys of sects. But the Gao Clan produced a notable figure. I heard the family head’s younger brother is an inner court elder of the True Martial Sacred Ground.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Zimo and his companions exchanged smiles, understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inner court elder wasn’t a very high position, but it depended on where.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the True Martial Sacred Ground as the overlord of the Eastern Continent, the weight of such a position was quite considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the events in Baili City, many believed the Holy Son of this generation of True Martial Sacred Ground would inherit the Heaven's Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Grand Emperor emerged, the status would be entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inner court elder would then be untouchable even by many first-rate powers, who would instead seek to curry favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which inner court elder?” Xu Zimo asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Little Gui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Lin Ruhu had noble identities, born as core disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One’s father was the Vice-Lord, the other’s grandfather was a Grand Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they had little contact with the inner court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before meeting Xu Zimo, Little Gui had been an inner court disciple, so he understood that world much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The only inner court elder surnamed Gao is Elder Gao Ruchu,” Little Gui thought for a moment before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, that’s him,” the old man quickly nodded. Looking curiously at them, he asked, “And you gentlemen are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re outer court disciples of the True Martial Sacred Ground,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young and promising, I’ve misjudged you,” the old man hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo waved his hand and said, “You two enjoy your meal, we’ll be leaving first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them stood up to leave, but were blocked by one of the tavern’s women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, please settle the bill, one hundred and three spirit crystals in total, but we’ll charge you only one hundred.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a scam,” Lin Ruhu glared at the woman and said. “Besides, since when has your master ever paid for food? Go ask around in Flourishing Sun City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, even the old man at the next table was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s expression also changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone wants to dine and dash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you gentlemen mean by this?” the woman surnamed Xu came over after hearing the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To eat and run at my Bright Moon Tower, I’m afraid you’ve picked the wrong place,” Young Master Gao Yang said as he filled his cup with wine, chuckling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A bunch of ruffians,” Wei Ying also snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what do you want to do?” Lin Ruhu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Break their legs, make them beg in Flourishing Sun City, and only release them once they’ve scraped enough money to pay for the food,” Young Master Gao Yang said.\u003C\u002Fp>",1251,"2026-06-06T01:07:00.020Z",1,"novelbin.me","561f912780748ee5185ab35fffa73ba52469cbd309142c89f8a774514651e37d","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-994","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-992",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
