21: It turns out to be a little punk~

Afterward, they finished the food on the table, gathered some other information in the tavern, and Xu Xi signaled the others, who then left the tavern one after another.

"Senior Sister Ye, what do you think about the Spirit Stone Mine situation?"

"I think that Liu Haizhu might be someone from the Xiaoyao Sect."

"Saying these things to me is nothing more than trying to lure me there to mine for them."

"Then, once they've used me, they'll immediately get rid of me, leaving no survivors."

"After all, we haven't received any intelligence from others indicating that the Xiaoyao Sect is recruiting people to mine spirit stones."

After leaving the tavern and walking a certain distance, while also making sure no one was following them, Xu Xi began discussing the information he had obtained from Liu Haizhu in the tavern with Ye Xueqing.

Xu Xi, of course, wouldn't be so foolish as to completely believe such words.

However, everything is a mix of truth and falsehood, and sometimes such rumors, when leaked, carry a certain degree of credibility.

"I think the same as Junior Brother Xu."

"That Liu Haizhu is most likely a spy sent by the Xiaoyao Sect, disguised as a rogue cultivator doing intelligence business."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Xiaoyao Sect has already lured many people using this method."

"My suggestion is to make a move at Wangshi Dam."

"I observed Liu Haizhu's aura, and his cultivation is less than the Fourth Realm. If the two of us act together, we can capture him alive without him having any chance to resist, and then interrogate him for information."

Nodding in response to Xu Xi, Ye Xueqing's thoughts were the same as his, and she had already come up with some specific measures.

Looking at Xu Xi with determined eyes, Ye Xueqing finally looked like her usual self.

"Alright, then we'll follow Senior Sister Ye's method."

"You few, stake out Wangshi Tavern."

"After you see Liu Haizhu, follow him and then report back to Senior Sister Ye and me."

"My appearance was seen by Liu Haizhu just now. If I wait for him around Wangshi Tavern, he will definitely notice me."

Xu Xi was very satisfied with Ye Xueqing's answer and immediately put it into action, instructing several disciples. This was also the purpose of Xu Xi bringing them along.

If you have subordinates and don't use them, aren't you just a pure fool?

"Remember, do not act rashly. You are merely in the Body Tempering Realm. Although the opponent is also in the Body Tempering Realm, he is, after all, an old hand. You might even alert him."

"At that time, Senior Sister Ye and I will handle it."

He cautioned again, looking at the others beside him, his eyes full of warning.

"Understood, Senior Brother Xu."

Nodding in response, the disciples had nothing to refute and immediately left, knowing their place.

Xu Xi himself, along with Ye Xueqing and Zhao Yaqian, wandered through a market on the opposite side of Wangshi Tavern, looking around.

For a moment, Xu Xi seemed like a young master again, out for a stroll with his family, with two beauties by his side.

Pedestrians on the street all cast envious glances at Xu Xi.

Although Ye Xueqing and Zhao Yaqian's appearances were not as stunning as before after their disguise, their fiery figures, even ignoring their faces, were enough to make people drool.

When the lights are off, who cares about such a small detail?

"Hey, kid, are the two women beside you your maidservants?"

"Name a price, and I'll buy them."

"Consider yourself lucky, kid. Ordinary people don't have the fortune to catch the eye of this young master."

"Don't be ungrateful! I am the Eldest Young Master of Tianbao Pavilion."

"If you offend me, there'll be no need for you to stay in Wangshi Dam."

His tone was very arrogant, and coupled with his greasy, repulsive face, it was even more nauseating.

Sure enough, there are rude people everywhere, and Xu Xi didn't expect trouble to come so quickly.

The reason for this person to come and cause trouble was also very simple: he saw the beauties beside Xu Xi and was overcome by lust.

Of course, this person's identity was not simple, otherwise he wouldn't openly behave in such a manner.

"Oh?"

"The Eldest Young Master of Tianbao Pavilion?"

Hearing the words of the person blocking his way, Xu Xi feigned surprise, first showing a bit of astonishment, then sneering dismissively.

"If you want to befriend me politely, then I welcome you with open arms."

"But... trying to snatch my women?"

I can only say, get lost as far as you can!"

"Don't be shameless!"

"The Eldest Young Master of Tianbao Pavilion?"

"Do you really think you're the manager of Tianbao Pavilion?"

"It's still debatable whether that family fortune will even be left to you in the future."

"With your dog-like appearance, you big fat pig, it's estimated that after gaining power, you'll be tricked out of even your underwear by others."

"Hurry up and get lost, or if I cut you with this sword, I'm not sure if you'll be able to stand properly."

Xu Xi looked at the person who called himself the Eldest Young Master of Tianbao Pavilion with a playful gaze. His bloated body made Xu Xi feel bored just looking at him.

This was a living, breathing wild boar, though calling him a wild boar was an overestimation.

Because wild boars have sturdy bodies, he was purely obese.

If you were to extract all the fat from his body with an oil extractor, it would probably suck him dry.

As he spoke, he fanned his hand in front of his nose, frowning slightly, not bothering to conceal his mockery.

Xu Xi had no desire to gather information at this point and naturally didn't intend to maintain his disguise.

Inside Wangshi Tavern, Liu Haizhu hadn't come out yet, so he couldn't expose Xu Xi's identity.

The Drunken Sleep Sword hanging at his waist was already unsheathed. As a magical artifact, the Drunken Sleep Sword, when converted to the Xuan Yuan Continent's ranking system,

was a sixth-grade weapon. Its sharp blade made intimate contact with the big fatty's chest, causing the flesh on his body to tremble.

At the same time, the chilling aura and undisguised killing intent also startled the big fatty.

He hadn't seen such a greenhorn in a long time.

In the past, whenever he brought up the name of the Eldest Young Master of Tianbao Pavilion, who wasn't respectfully handing things over to him and fawning over him?

"Good, good, good!"

"You, kid, actually have quite a bit of guts to treat me like this."

"But what strength does a fresh-faced kid like you have?"

"When you're out in the world, what matters is your background and your strength!"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the big fatty pretended to be calm, then remembered his identity, and his face turned fierce again. His vicious eyes revealed a murderous aura, and his thick lips spewed obscenities.

"Which sect are you from, kid?"

He then scanned Xu Xi up and down, seeing his ordinary clothes that were not sect attire, and then sneered,

"So you're just a little nobody~"

"What are you all standing around for!"

"Hurry up and seize him!"

"His sword is practically at my neck, are you blind?"

"You're taking money and not doing your job, is that it?"

"Could it be that you actually believed his nonsense?"
