Chapter 967: That Slap Made Me Dizzy!
“Okay, as long as he apologizes to me, I can pretend this never happened.”
Ran Yan glanced at Su Yi and nodded at Shopkeeper Xiahou. Mending his relationship with Lingbao Pavilion would certainly please his father. It was a good deal, despite the fact that the kid got lucky.
Besides, Shopkeeper Xiahou had promised to supply medicine for his subordinates. Regardless of the situation, he had to show respect.
“Young man, what about you?” Shopkeeper Xiahou looked at Su Yi with a smile, though he was slightly taken aback.
This young boy, though youthful, gave off an air of maturity that was hard to read.
What was particularly striking was the boy’s gaze, which met his without hesitation, making him feel an unexpected ripple within.
As a peacemaker, Shopkeeper Xiahou could see that the young boy’s actions in disabling the Seven Star Sword Sect youth weren’t ordinary. He was intrigued, wanting to learn more about him.
“I suggest you leave as far as you can and don’t provoke me! Even if you have the Seven Star Sword Sect behind you, I won’t hesitate to take your life!”
Su Yi’s eyes were filled with coldness and impatience as he stared at Ran Yan. His entire demeanor exuded a dangerous energy, making it clear he wasn’t intimidated by the spoiled brat.
The energy surrounding Su Yi sent a chill through Ran Yan and his followers, as though the very air had turned cold under the boy’s gaze.
On the side, Shopkeeper Xiahou raised an eyebrow, puzzled and even more curious.
On his own turf at Lingbao Pavilion, most people would show some deference, but this young boy was acting so domineering.
He had attempted mediation, but never expected the boy to be so dismissive. Clearly, the so-called Young Sect Leader Ran didn’t hold much weight in his eyes.
“Kid, you’re really asking for trouble!”
Ran Yan suppressed the fear creeping into his chest, his face pale, feeling embarrassed.
Originally, he had taken a step back to save face for Lingbao Pavilion, as Shopkeeper Xiahou had given him an opportunity to resolve things. He had shown this young boy leniency.
Yet this ungrateful brat didn’t recognize the kindness.
Ran Yan’s expression turned sour, and his aura became oppressive.
“Shopkeeper Xiahou, Lingbao Pavilion must be respected, but this brat is utterly disrespectful! It’s not my fault!” Ran Yan spoke coldly as he bowed to Shopkeeper Xiahou.
At the same time, his eyes remained icy as he glared at Su Yi.
“Young man, I cannot ignore Lingbao Pavilion’s rules. Please settle your grievances elsewhere!”
Shopkeeper Xiahou didn’t show any anger. He remained calm, gesturing for Su Yi to leave.
The meaning was clear. If you reject my mediation, then I’m curious to see what you’re truly capable of.
If you wish to fight or cause trouble, take it outside. Just stay away from Lingbao Pavilion.
“Kid, you’re about to regret this!”
Several members of the Seven Star Sword Sect sneered, looking at Su Yi as though he was already a dead man.
In Sword Star City, those who dared cross the Seven Star Sword Sect rarely lived to tell the tale. Examples of such people were displayed on the city walls.
“Youngster, you’re so arrogant. If you have the guts, come face me in battle! Let me show you what happens to those who provoke the Seven Star Sword Sect!”
Ran Yan grinned and motioned for Su Yi to join him outside for a fight.
“Not interested!” Su Yi didn’t even glance at Ran Yan. Instead, he turned toward Shopkeeper Xiahou and said, “I want to go to Lingbao Pavilion and exchange some things.”
At Su Yi’s words, the crowd fell silent in shock.
The Seven Star Sword Sect members almost burst out laughing.
What did this kid just say? He wants to go into Lingbao Pavilion? Is he joking?
Was he deaf? Didn’t he hear Shopkeeper Xiahou’s message? It was clear he didn’t want to get involved.
The message was simple—resolve your issues elsewhere. What made him think he could walk into Lingbao Pavilion now?
“Huh?”
However, just as everyone stood speechless, Su Yi took out something and waved it in front of Shopkeeper Xiahou.
Then, under the amazed gaze of the Seven Star Sword Sect, Shopkeeper Xiahou’s face twitched, followed by him bowing slightly and respectfully toward Su Yi.
“I apologize for not greeting the distinguished guest properly. Please come in!”
The middle-aged man immediately moved aside and led Su Yi into Lingbao Pavilion, completely ignoring Ran Yan and his group.
“Um…”
The members of the Seven Star Sword Sect exchanged confused looks. They were all perplexed, unable to understand what had just occurred.
Ran Yan’s face burned with humiliation, as if he had been slapped in the face. He had no idea what had just happened.
This was so confusing!
They couldn’t figure out why Shopkeeper Xiahou had walked away from them so easily, his attitude having changed so suddenly.
Could the boy have some special status?
“Ran, what was that thing the boy had in his hand…”
After a moment, one of Ran Yan’s subordinates approached him and asked, confusion written all over his face.
“That seemed to be some kind of card from Lingbao Pavilion!”
Ran Yan recalled that the boy had taken out a card from Lingbao Pavilion, but it didn’t seem remarkable.
As the Young Sect Leader of the Seven Star Sword Sect, Ran Yan knew about the various VIP levels at Lingbao Pavilion. There were several types of VIP cards.
Those who held a VIP card didn’t just represent power, they held significant status.
Even his father, the sect master, had a lower-level VIP card, but Ran Yan knew he’d never be able to get anything higher.
So, he didn’t understand what made this boy worthy of such a card from Lingbao Pavilion.
“A VIP card from Lingbao Pavilion ensures favorable treatment, but it doesn’t guarantee a life-saving escape!”
After thinking for a moment, Ran Yan’s expression darkened, and he said coldly, “Go inform Dharma Protector Lu to send someone to keep watch here! I don’t believe this brat can stay inside Lingbao Pavilion without coming out!”
“Understood, Young Sect Leader!”
A young man immediately responded and quickly departed.
The remaining youths silently stood guard outside Lingbao Pavilion, waiting for Su Yi to emerge.
