The two of them had just sat down, and just as Ziyue was excitedly about to say something, there was a sudden bang on the table next to her, and a man in white stood up and said angrily, "Du Mu, don't go too far, I promised you well back then. , are you raising your worth now?"
The woman was dressed in white and had a long peony dress. She wore various blonde hairpins on her long black hair, and a pearl the size of a fingernail was wrapped around the hair crown on her head. Her appearance was even more stunning, and she looked like a wealthy woman at first glance.
She also stood up angrily and said, "Liang Chen, don't forget, your Liang family is what it is today. After all, it was not our Du family who supported us?" After saying that, she sat down without even looking at this young master.
"It's funny! So you're thinking about our family's secret treasure?" Liang Chen refused to let go and didn't look at the girl. He continued, "The conditions for the marriage between the two families are good. Now you want to add one more to get it." My family’s secret treasure, I tell you it’s absolutely impossible!”
The Liang family's secret treasure is not a secret, almost everyone knows it, that's why he said it so openly.
The power of the Du family can be said to be the second-largest family in the city. They are vassal to the city lord's palace. It can also be said that they have their backs to the Lin family. Almost no one dares to provoke them.
Du Mu remained calm, stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup and took a sip of tea casually before saying, "You Liang family have no choice. Besides, you are not worthy of me. If it weren't for my father's will, you wouldn't even be worthy to carry my shoes." .”
This woman didn't show any dignity at all, and directly hit her with words in front of everyone, which made Liang Chen completely furious and slammed the table.
boom
The whole table was torn apart and shattered. The woman remained unmoved and showed a sneer. Liang Chen clenched his fists with angry eyes and said, "Du Mu, others are afraid of your Du family, but my Liang family is not afraid. You want my family's secret treasure? This I don’t think I want a marriage!”
As he waved his hand, a piece of paper flew out of the Spiritual Storage Ring. He bit off his finger and wrote something on it. Then he held the parchment and threw it to the woman, with the word "break off the engagement" written on it.
Seeing those two bright red words, the woman finally became angry. She stood up and angrily shouted, "Liang Chen! How brave are you! How dare you break off the engagement?"
The inn was full of people at this time, everyone was watching the show, and most of them were pointing, but no one stood up and said anything.
Ling Chen also started to watch the show. Ziyue blinked for a while and turned around and said, "Master, this woman is really ignorant, with average talent but cruelty."
"You... keep your voice down..."
Ling Chen also widened his eyes. He never expected that Ziyue would blatantly say these words at this time, and he immediately scolded her.
If the other party heard this, he would have to be involved, but when the other party turned around and glared at them, Ling Chen knew that the other party must have heard it.
"what did you just say?"
Du Mu's face was very ugly. She was already irritated and now she was said to have average talent. The successive blows made her completely crazy, and the spirit energy in her body was constantly released from her body.
This woman's cultivation level is not as good as Ling Chen's, so she gives him very little pressure. She has just broken through in the early stage of the Sword Consciousness Realm, but Ling Chen has successfully broken through with the power of inheritance. This woman is not stable, and there is still some gap between the two.
Ling Chen also glared at Zi Yue, then stood up with an apologetic look and said, "I'm really sorry, my little girl is seriously ill and I forgot to bring her medicine when I went out. She likes to talk nonsense, don't take it to heart. I’ll take her back and lock her up right now.”
He didn't want to offend this woman. The Du family sounded like a powerful family. Now that he was weak, it was obviously unwise to offend such a family.
"Master, don't be afraid of her, I don't believe she can swallow us up in one bite." Ziyue stood up angrily, looking like she would start a fight if the worst happened.
As soon as she finished saying these words, a white light shot out from behind Du Mu, and a snow-white flying sword engraved with dragon patterns was suspended behind him, emitting bursts of strange fluctuations, and the sound of dragon roars was heard. It was obviously a An incredible magic weapon.
"Dragon pattern sword? I didn't expect that the Du family would pass it all to this woman." A man in black in the crowd recognized the sword at a glance and looked surprised. Everyone stepped aside.
The fat shopkeeper came over and said with a somewhat unhappy expression, "Everyone, are you sure you want to take action here?" As if she was afraid of something, the woman waved her hand and retracted the flying sword, and said with a cold voice, "Boy, I remember you!"
Ling Chen also felt bitter in his heart. Why had he offended this woman?
Zi Yue also made a face at the woman, which made Ling Chen slap his forehead and sit down. He even suspected that Zi Yue was following him to help him attract hatred and enemies. He didn't think twice about offending others. He was doing it for himself. Thinking about it.
The woman glared at Liang Chen, Ling Chen Ziyue and others, then waved her hands and was about to leave, but the shopkeeper blocked her way and said in a deep voice, "Miss Du, don't think that your identity is related to our city lord's mansion. You can cause wanton destruction like this and leave without compensation!”
"Shopkeeper, did I destroy the things?" Miss Du looked at the shopkeeper with a displeased face, and she was already holding back her anger.
But the shopkeeper was not afraid of the Du family, and did not give any face to the eldest lady. Instead, he sarcastically said, "I told you to pay, so you have to pay. What? Do you have any objections?"
Du Mu angrily gritted her teeth and slapped the Chu Ling Ring. She didn't want to offend the shopkeeper. A small bag of gold coins flew to the table. She was about to leave, but was stopped again.
"Miss Du, I think you don't know the rules of our inn, right? If you damage anything here, you will have to pay a thousand times the compensation. Do you want to leave with just such a small amount?" The shopkeeper's face looked a little malicious.
Logically speaking, this kind of table is worth a silver coin, but that is not the case here. This small bag of gold coins is not even enough to compensate.
This was obviously blackmail, but the woman didn't dare to really get angry. She could only grit her teeth and take out three bags of gold coins, and then she was let go with an angry look.
The people around them all made way for this woman to leave. Ziyue then sat down and said, "Master, don't be afraid. Once we enter there, if we don't come out, she won't be able to do anything to us."
"What you said makes sense!"
When Zi Yue heard this, she thought she was being praised. Just when she was about to feel elated, Ling Chen stretched out his hand, gently pressed his palm on her head and scolded her, "You still say? You provoked an enemy for me for no reason. From now on, The woman will definitely seek revenge and cause trouble..."
Just when Liang Chen was about to say something to Ling Chen, two men in white clothes rushed in from outside. They looked to be in their thirties.
They rushed to Liang Chen and whispered something. After hearing this, his face darkened and he immediately turned around and left.
The waiter also brought a new table over after tidying up, and then started to get busy again. The inn suddenly became lively again, and there was no trace of what had just happened.
Various dishes and wines were served, but Ling Chen had no appetite. He looked at Zi Yue, who was grabbing the chicken legs with her hands and showed no signs of eating, and smiled helplessly.
"Did you hear that?"
At this time, there were six men sitting on the table next to each other. Their cultivation seemed to be at the sword consciousness level. The leading man said in a mysterious tone, "The head of the Liang family failed to break through. It is said that he has died."
"No way?"
"How could you possibly know this news?"
Generally speaking, failure to break through will not lead to death, but it is possible to force a breakthrough, but these people are not very good at cultivation. How can they know such things in the first place?
But judging from the scene just now, there was still some credibility in the conversation between these people. Ling Chen accidentally glanced out the window, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At some unknown time, there were actually two white-haired old men standing next to Miss Du. Their cultivation levels were both at the peak of the Sword Consciousness Realm, and there were vague signs of a breakthrough.
He had just discovered that this woman had brought someone here to seek revenge, and two divine consciousnesses were already locked on him. This made him sigh helplessly, and he felt bitter in his heart. He did not expect that this young lady would seek revenge so quickly.
Looking at Zi Yue, who was not eating at all, Ling Chen couldn't tell how miserable he was. The Sky Frost Spiritual Sword suddenly flew out from between his eyebrows.
Although it does not have a sword spirit, it still has instincts. It has already felt that two spiritual consciousnesses are locked on its master, and many people around it are attracted by this sword.
Since the Sky Frost Spiritual Sword hides its true aura, they could not tell what the quality of the sword was. They were just curious about what the other party wanted to do by summoning the flying sword.
Ling Chen raised his hand and waved, and the magic weapon was withdrawn into his body again. The flying sword that dripped blood and recognized its master could be retracted into his sea of consciousness. Zi Yue stood up holding the chicken legs with both hands. She glanced out the window and obviously noticed that The consciousness is locked.
"Master, she seems to be here to cause trouble for us. How about we run away?" Ziyue put down the drumstick and actually thought of running away.
"You're not the one who provoked me? But these two old guys may not be able to do anything to me. Besides, the city is not allowed to do anything. I want to see what they can do to me." After Ling Chen finished speaking, he was about to get up. .
"Master, I haven't finished eating yet, please let me eat for a while."
"you……"
Ling Chen was so angry that he scratched his head. He sat back and couldn't say a word for a while. He could only stare at her as she ate, but Ziyue didn't seem to be interested in the wine and didn't drink a sip.
Miss Du was about to find trouble. When she was waiting impatiently outside, a skinny old man in a white robe flew over.
"Uncle Du, why are you here?" When Miss Du saw this person, she also addressed him very politely. The old man said respectfully, "Miss, the head of the family asked you to go back immediately, saying that there is something urgent."
"this…"
Miss Du looked back angrily at Ling Chen in the inn. She did not dare to disobey her father's order, so she could only leave with her people unwillingly.
As soon as Ling Chen saw the person leaving, he immediately stood up and took Zi Yue's hand and said, "Stop eating, let's leave quickly." Zi Yue nodded and said, "I'm going to wash my hands."
After saying that, he turned around and shook off Ling Chen's hand and left. Two men suddenly walked over, one on the left and the other on the right. The leading man said respectfully, "Young Master, my young master wants to see you."
"What if I don't see you?"
Ling Chen answered very simply and did not give any face to the young master behind him. The expressions of the two men visibly darkened. If they were not in the city, they might have actually taken action.
But Ling Chen was also curious. He seemed to have just come here and didn't know anyone. Why did the young master suddenly want to see him?
