Chapter 105: Zhang Bao Lou

The main city of Qinghe County is called Qinghe Cheng, surrounded by a winding river that wraps around the entire city; the river is very wide, reaching a full ten to twenty meters. It is a decent protective barrier.

Outside the riverbanks, it is still desolate, yet inside the river, it is lush and verdant, a patch of emerald green.

Several people flew over the moat on their swords and arrived in the city.

On the main street.

Yan Xiao wore Sunglasses and held a folding fan, teasing the two beauties beside him from time to time, looking every bit the dissolute young master.

Behind him followed the members of the Death Squad and the Great Elder of the Shengjian Sect, a grand and imposing force.

"Sect Master, ahead is the territory of the Zhang Family. This street is called Zhang Jia Xiang, and it is the core of the entire Zhang Family. There are many markets inside, dealing in Spirit Pills, weapons, and so on," Liu Yu said, pointing to the street not far away.

Yan Xiao looked up; the street was wide, bustling with heavy traffic, and various workshops and taverns emerged one after another. It was only slightly inferior to Luoyue Cheng.

"Liu Yu, for now, I am an idle, low-cultivation dissolute Young Master. Take me to the largest market of the Zhang Family; we are going to buy some things."

Yan Xiao gently shook his folding fan and walked forward slowly.

"Master... Master... does this disciple need to cooperate with you?" Seeing that Yan Xiao seemed to be about to put on a good show, Wang Dazhu immediately ran up and said with a fawning face.

"Hmm... alright, but try to be exaggerated and flamboyant later." Yan Xiao looked at everyone; Wang Dazhu's acting skills were the best, making him most suitable to play the role of a sycophantic lackey.

Zhang Bao Lou, one of the largest markets of the Zhang Family.

It mainly deals in Spirit Pills and weapons, as well as various Spirit Herbs and grasses.

Yan Xiao held Luo Ying in his arms and walked to the front gate of Zhang Bao Lou. He took a sip of wine, pretending to be half-drunk and half-sober. He tilted his head to look inside and said, "This tavern is not bad! Let's go, Young Master will take you to drink the most luxurious flower wine in Qinghe County."

Saying this, he held Luo Ying and led Feng Jingting inside, actually treating Zhang Bao Lou as a brothel for pleasure-seeking.

"This Young Master, this is Zhang Bao Lou, not a place for drinking flower wine." Seeing the large number of people behind Yan Xiao, a hostess did not dare to be negligent. She bowed to Yan Xiao and said in a low voice.

"What? How much money? Money is no problem! This Young Master lacks everything, except money!" Yan Xiao spat out a breath of wine, squinting at the hostess with a look that said he didn't care and was going in regardless.

"Pfft!" It was the first time Luo Ying had seen Yan Xiao so improper; she found it funny and laughed out loud.

Feng Jingting had great composure, but she still let out a faint smile.

The members of the Shengjian Sect all looked at each other in dismay; only Liu Yu and Wang Dazhu had serious expressions. Liu Yu was red-eyed at the sight of his enemies, while Wang Dazhu was working to cooperate with Yan Xiao.

"This Young Master, we don't sell wine here! This is..." The hostess was caught between laughter and tears, feeling somewhat displeased, but because Yan Xiao looked like he came from an extraordinary background, she dared not lash out.

Before she could finish, Wang Dazhu had already rushed in front of Yan Xiao with an angry face. He cursed at the hostess: "Are you blind? This Young Master is the young master of the Yan Family, the number one noble family in Qinghe County. You dare to block his path—are you looking for death?"

Wang Dazhu's shout startled the hostess so much that she trembled and nearly fell over.

"Who is making such a racket in Zhang Bao Lou?"

"What's going on? Do you have a death wish? Daring to cause trouble in Zhang Bao Lou?"

Following a few angry shouts, several figures flew over and landed in front of Yan Xiao and his group.

"Hehe, it's a drunkard; there's a good show to watch."

"Daring to cause trouble in Zhang Bao Lou, he's got guts! Perhaps this youth has some background."

"Zhang Bao Lou is the core of the Zhang Family, with many Elders taking turns on duty to guard it; this youth is likely in for some bad luck."

Seeing there was a show to watch, many cultivators who had come to Zhang Bao Lou to buy or sell treasures gathered around, making comments and acting as if they were eager for chaos.

"This Young Master, Zhang Bao Lou is a place for trading immortal pills and magic treasures, not a tavern. If you want to seek pleasure, go to Xiuchun Lou ahead," an old man said with an unkind expression, shouting angrily at Yan Xiao and the others.

"Ah... uh..." Yan Xiao let out a drunken hiccup, rolled his eyes, and asked the old man: "Are you the Manager here?"

"I am the fourth shopkeeper of Zhang Bao Lou, I can..."

Before he could finish, Yan Xiao waved his hand to interrupt. "Fourth shopkeeper? So you're just a small, insignificant character; you are not worthy of speaking to this Young Master. Dazhu, you talk to him!"

Yan Xiao looked disgusted, turned his head to be intimate with Feng Jingting, and leaned into her arms, muttering to himself. He seemed not to even want to look at the old man.

"You!" The old man was furious; he had never been ignored like this before—it was simply a great humiliation.

Just as he was about to curse out loud, Wang Dazhu stepped in first. Just kidding, how could Wang Dazhu miss a chance to perform given by the Supreme? He shouted loudly at the old man: "Bold! My Young Master wants to drink wherever he pleases; you aren't serving him properly, and you still want to curse at him?"

"My Young Master said money is no problem. Why aren't you going to prepare wine and food to serve my Young Master properly! Do you still want the dog head on your shoulders?"

Wang Dazhu felt better the more he cursed, but the people of the Zhang Family were infuriated.

The old man's face was red, clearly his blood pressure had risen.

"Hey, don't you go and die of anger; people who die of anger don't add to my Fear Value," Yan Xiao cursed inwardly. Although he was half-leaning in Feng Jingting's arms, he dared not be careless, constantly using his Sunglasses to observe the surroundings and analyze the strength of everyone present.

"Bold maniac, Zhang Bao Lou is not a place for you to run wild. If you have the guts, state your name, and see if I, the Zhang Family, will go back and reason with your elders," an old man with a youthful face and white hair stepped forward and shouted at Yan Xiao.

"Hehe..." Yan Xiao was amused, inwardly cursing this old guy for being shrewd—not forgetting to probe the other party's background before fighting.

Looking through the Sunglasses, the old man's cultivation was decent, at the 5th level of Profound Void. "This person should be the head shopkeeper of Zhang Bao Lou," Yan Xiao calculated secretly.

He thought about how to make the commotion bigger, preferably so that the whole Qinghe Cheng... no... the whole Qinghe County would know.

"If all the people of Qinghe County come to watch the fun, and then I use the most cruel, domineering, and crazy means to wipe out the Zhang Family, then I should be able to earn a lot, a lot of Fear Value, right?" Yan Xiao thought with a grin.

At the thought of that massive Fear Value, he nearly drooled.

"Kid, our head shopkeeper is asking you a question! Are you deaf?" Several young and hot-headed Zhang Family youths saw Yan Xiao being so unreasonable, actually ignoring them and continuing to be intimate with the beauties. It was simply too rude, and the key was that the woman he was being intimate with was so beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth.

It was truly unforgivable!

"You're the one who's deaf!" Before Yan Xiao or Wang Dazhu could speak, Liu Yu couldn't hold back anymore; he rushed forward in a stride and punched the youth who had spoken in the face.

That youth was instantly covered in bumps.

"What's the situation?" Yan Xiao was a bit stunned.

However, seeing Liu Yu's angry expression, he roughly guessed some of it.

The youth in front of him must have participated in the operation to wipe out Liu Yu's family; otherwise, the usually steady Liu Yu would not be so agitated.

"Let him vent it out properly!" Yan Xiao sighed inwardly. He had long discovered that Liu Yu was a talent, but the knot in his heart had not been untied, so his cultivation and talent had always been suppressed. Anyway, his goal this time was to conquer Qinghe County and incidentally help Liu Yu avenge his family; why not take this opportunity to untie the knot in Liu Yu's heart so his potential could fully erupt?

"If you have anger, let it out; don't hold back. No matter what happens, you have me behind you!"

Yan Xiao transmitted his voice to Liu Yu, his tone sonorous and powerful, indicating his full support for Liu Yu.
