“I let him come in . ”
Mu Yi then entered the room .
At that moment, in the room, there were two people . They were seated . One was the owner . The other one was a manager, a middle-aged man . They looked proud and arrogant . They were drinking tea but when Mu Yi entered the room, they were astonished .
He had also heard of Mu Yi’s status . He hadn’t thought he would ever see Mu Yi .
That man’s eyes were filled with terror . He wasn’t like waiter or the leader, he had some knowledge, he also knew a lot of things about Mu Yi . He had heard Mu Yi could be even more demoniac than demons when killing his enemies .
Regarding what he had been told about Mu Yi, he didn’t approve at first but those people were all noble . And then he had convinced some others .
Even though the princes usually did all sorts of things, martial arts, arts, etc . , each time they succeeded in something, people praised them but that was basically all . Calling them young masters or princes was just a way of making the situation sound better .
It was better to maintain harmonious relations .
And they first decided to humiliate him . They didn’t attack right at first . And what if they managed to kick the Evil Taoist priest out like that? He would lose face . The young master would be promoted instantly . His career would skyrocket .
Not every young master was audacious in the extreme and courageous . Not many liked playing with fire .

Therefore, when he looked at Mu Yi, he couldn’t help but sigh . He looked stiff, “How did he come here?”
asked the owner . Even though he tried to look as if he weren’t afraid, one could see in his eyes that he felt awkward . He was a business owner and if he offended wealthy and noble families, he’d be doomed .
Not to mention that doing business in such troubled times wasn’t easy . Kind people were extremely rare .
If those old masters rented out lands, they would be able to make a sixty seventy percent profit at the end of the year . Not bad .
“Dear guest, we’re having issues . Please, you can find another inn . There are many inns in the area . Regarding the money, I’ll make it up to you . ” said the owner . His eyes gleamed . He just wanted Mu Yi to leave . That’s all .
At that moment, he was seated with the manager of the Xu Clan . If everything went well, he may be able to get familiar with the Xu Clan and then he would be able to rely on them in the future .
Unfortunately, he didn’t know that when he said that Manager Xu Wang was going to cry soon . He would even feel like punching the owner’s teeth . But now he didn’t dare move .
“Is that so? What if I refuse to leave?” said Mu Yi . He replied to the owner but he looked at Xu Wang . Xu Wang’s heart was pounding . It wasn’t the first time he regretted working on a mission . He wished he had sent a team instead .
But Xu Wang had forgotten what the prince of his own clan had said, if he succeeded, he would be promoted in the clan . How could he refuse to give it a shot?
Xu Wang hadn’t thought Mu Yi would arrive so quickly . Besides, he had thought he’d show up there, a hideout .
“If you refuse to leave?” asked the owner glancing at Xu Wang .

This time, Xu Wang’s heart nearly burst out of his chest . He couldn’t help but stand and face Mu Yi . He threw his teacup in the direction of the owner, “Alright, Mister Fan, that’s how you work? You surprisingly join hands with a foreigner and attack me? You want to cause chaos in Cangzhou?”
shouted Xu Wang furiously at the owner of the inn, Mister Fan
Mister Fan didn’t react . The teacup crashed against his head . He put his hands on his head and staggered . He nearly collapsed but he didn’t, apart from looking terrified, he also looked confused .
He didn’t understand what Xu Wang had said . Why had he suddenly turned hostile?
But he wasn’t stupid . He quickly understood that it probably had something to do with Mu Yi . No matter what, he had offended someone he shouldn’t have offended . The Taoist priest he had asked to leave was actually a public figure . Even Xu Wang didn’t want to offend people like that . He wanted to maintain good relations with such people .
Thinking about that, Mister Fan felt furious but he couldn’t show it . When facing the Xu Clan, he didn’t feel confident . They could kill him with one finger .
“Sigh, my head… I feel dizzy . ”
said Mister Fan . He had to pretend to be weak and on the verge of collapse .
There, he staggered and finally collapsed in frotn of the crowd . He did it on purpose . And to look even more realistic, he let himself fall violently .
Xu Wang, Mu Yi and even the waiter knew he was pretending . Actually, after coming in, he had already come back to his senses but the waitress hadn’t said anything .
Therefore, when he saw the owner collapse like that, he looked at him and then he did the same thing as him .

Xu Wang’s veins on his hand were pounding . If Mu Yi hadn’t been there, he would have destroyed Mister Fan with a chair to see if he would have stopped or not!
The two of them pretended to be unconscious but Mu Yi couldn’t do it . And Mu Yi didn’t care about them . Whether they were dead or alive, Mu Yi couldn’t care less .
Therefore, they pretended, good for them . Mu Yi didn’t feel like wasting time so he looked at Xu Wang .
“M, M… Master?” said Xu Wang staring at Mu Yi . He was terrified .
“What clan are you from?” asked Mu Yi impolitely and straightforwardly .
When Xu Clan heard him, he was furious . He wanted to kill him . It was supposed to be a great opportunity and now everything seemed ruined . If he said “Xu Clan”, he would get expelled from the clan .
But he also knew that the person in front of him was the Evil Taoist priest . He was a terrifying and sanguinary murderer . The outcome would be too dreadful to contemplate if he offended the Evil Taoist priest .
“What? You think I can read your thoughts? Speak . ” said Mu Yi smiling icily and staring at Mister Fan .
Mister Fan remained silent and pretended to be unconscious but when Mu Yi looked at him, he immediately felt it . It felt as if he had been cut by a blade, or his soul .
But in the end, he had ground his teeth . He knew he couldn’t fool anyone but he preferred burying his head in the sand, it didn’t make him feel any better though .
Mu Yi looked at Mister Fan . Xu Wang knew something bad was going to happen because even if he didn’t say it, Mister Fan would also intervene .
He ground his teeth and said straightforwardly, “Report, Master . I am from the Xu Clan . I didn’t mean to offend you, Master . You just infuriated everybody yesterday . My clan’s prince asked me to come and sow discord . Please forgive me . ”
said Xu Wang kneeling down in front of Mu Yi . He hoped he would survive, and if he did, he hoped he’d benefit from knowing Mu Yi .
Now, he had done all he could do . If he were sincere and honest, the chances that Mu Yi would forgive him were higher .
“I infuriated many people yesterday?” asked Mu Yi . He was dumbstruck . He hadn’t expected such an answer . He thought they were there for his key of the Yellow River’s ancient road . And now he realized it wasn’t the case .
What had he done on the previous evening? Mu Yi tried to remember . He had visited Tingyu Building . Then he had enjoyed a dance . He had also agreed to cooperate with the Envoy in charge of Xuan Ming’s flag . And he had obtained some gifts .
“I infuriated many people yesterday?” He was a foreigner and he had probably negotiated with Leng Yu . Leng Yu wasn’t stupid either . Why was the crowd furious? Because he was now under the watchful eye of many .
“You mean because I went and visited Tingyu Building?” asked Mu Yi .
“You didn’t know?” asked Xu Wang curiously .
“Hmph!”
Mu Yi hmphed . Xu Wang shook violently from head to food . He didn’t dare mess with him and said straightforwardly, “Master, no man has ever been in the Tingyu Building . You’re the first one . And all the young masters of the city dream of getting a woman from Tingyu Building . ”
When Xu Wang finished talking, Mu Yi looked weird . He was now sure that Leng Yu had invited him to Tingyu Building because she had ulterior motives . She hadn’t tried to be good to him . No wonder she even wanted to give Qi Yu .
But nothing happened on the previous evening . But Mu Yi knew that unless everybody said that, nobody would believe him . It was too late .
