22: I'll give you an operation, no need to thank me

"At least, right now I still have some power in Tianbao Pavilion. I can make you lose this lucrative good job and make your life worse than death!" He roared at the guards beside him. Although the big fat man in front of him ridiculed Xu Xi to the extreme, he was clearly enraged by Xu Xi's previous actions.

He was also using this to vent his anger, his eyes wide open, like an idiot.

"How dare you!"

"How dare you speak to my Young Master like that? Are you tired of living?"

"We haven't seen you at Wangshi Dam before. You must be new here, a greenhorn, right?"

"But since you've caused trouble, don't even think about leaving!"

The guards next to the fat man, who had just reacted, were indeed intimidated by Xu Xi's words.

Because they thought about it and realized that what Xu Xi said made a lot of sense.

However, they were pulled back to their senses by the fat man's furious roar.

Their hearts trembled, and only then did they feel a sense of dread. Their lives were now in the hands of others.

They had no choice but to fight for him, immediately picking up their weapons and preparing to fight Xu Xi to take him down, proving their loyalty and appeasing the fat man's anger.

"It really is, you have to make me do it."

"However, since you've bullied me, I can't not act."

"There's no need to draw blood or anything, just lie down for a bit and don't bother me."

Looking at the two guards who were about to attack him with their weapons, Xu Xi didn't even glance at them. He reinserted his Drunken Sleep Sword back into its sheath.

Then, he used the sword sheath to strike them hard in the chest.

Their hearts suddenly constricted, and the two of them, in unbearable pain, fell straight to the ground, pressing their hands repeatedly on their chests, their faces extremely pale.

They were drenched in sweat, looking as if they were about to give birth.

"As for you..."

"You should also repent, lest you go out and harm others."

Looking at the two fallen guards, Xu Xi still refused to give up, and then kicked the big fat man to the ground with one foot.

Then, the sword sheath struck him precisely on his third leg, performing a 'surgery' on him.

"Ah—"

A scream echoed throughout Wangshi Dam. Pedestrians who had been attracted by the previous quarrel all felt a chill in their lower bodies, covered themselves with their hands, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they confirmed their 'little brother' was still there.

"You bastard!"

"How dare you!"

"You're finished, my father won't let you off, just wait to die."

"No matter who you are or what your strength is, I won't spare you!"

After the scream, feeling the pain from his lower body and the loss of his third leg, the big fat man felt incredibly aggrieved.

At the same time, his anger reached its limit at this moment. He had already decided how to kill Xu Xi in front of him.

After finishing his threats, he immediately ran away, covering his crotch with both hands. Blood seeped through his pant leg, flowing onto the ground and following him all the way.

His tragic appearance made the onlookers, who were still unaware of the situation, sigh with emotion. Who on earth could have bullied the always arrogant Young Master of Tianbao Pavilion to such an extent?

Of course, the onlookers also felt a sense of relief and satisfaction deep down.

People from Tianbao Pavilion often oppressed them.

They couldn't do anything about it, so when they saw someone vent their anger for them, they naturally supported it wholeheartedly.

"Senior Brother Xu, are you sure this is okay?"

"Although I also couldn't stand that big pig's head just now and really wanted to give him a sword strike."

"But if things get out of hand, it won't be good for us to hide our identities."

Following beside Xu Xi, Zhao Yaqian felt a surge of satisfaction seeing Xu Xi stand up for her.

However, now that she had come to her senses, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

With her identity as a Xuanjian Sect disciple, she certainly wasn't afraid of Tianbao Pavilion causing trouble.

However, they were here to complete a mission. If their hidden identities were discovered by Xiaoyao Sect's spies here, it would be very detrimental to their plan.

After all, they had just been thinking of playing a 'binding game' with Liu Haizhu and the other person inside Wangshi Tavern.

Now, if the news reached them, things might not proceed smoothly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaqian felt even more uneasy, feeling that she had disrupted Xu Xi's plan, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

A few drops of sweat squeezed out from the small hand holding Xu Xi's.

"When did you become so afraid of trouble?"

"This performance is completely different from how you act within the sect."

Turning his head and seeing Zhao Yaqian's worried expression, Xu Xi couldn't help but smile.

Then he reached out and rubbed her face, whispering,

"Don't worry, even if they find out, how many people know our identities in our current appearance?"

"Most likely, we'll be seen as an outsider greenhorn, and with such a stereotype reaching their ears, it's actually easier to handle."

"As soon as we reach the Spirit Stone Mine tomorrow, perhaps the people from Xiaoyao Sect will be overjoyed to see us two and directly let us help them mine the area."

"Then we'll find an opportunity to wipe them all out, leaving no survivors."

Xu Xi wasn't overly worried. Since he had done this, he wasn't afraid of the other party finding out.

Hiding their identities now was just a pretense. If it came down to fighting with brute strength, Xu Xi himself wasn't afraid of anyone.

It was just that a disguise made things more convenient. If the other party came looking for trouble, Xu Xi would not hesitate to show them with his actions.

What, the hell, is, the hell, a surprise!

Signaling Zhao Yaqian to relax, Xu Xi held her and Ye Xueqing's hands and then left.

He wasn't worried about the people from Tianbao Pavilion coming after them later either.

Meanwhile, Ye Xueqing, who had been following Xu Xi all along, remained remarkably calm in the face of the previous situation.

Even after Xu Xi injured someone, her facial expression didn't change in the slightest, as if it was just a trivial matter... "Xu Xi..."

"I didn't expect to run into him. Isn't this just a pure opportunity for me to earn merit?"

In the shadows, in a place Xu Xi hadn't noticed, there was also a person mixed in the crowd, observing Xu Xi's every move.

And upon recognizing Xu Xi's identity, that person's heart swelled with joy, almost jumping out and shouting, "I won the lottery!"

Then, his figure flashed away, and this person disappeared into the darkness, no one knew who he went to report the news to... After another long while, Xu Xi was still leisurely playing with Zhao Yaqian and Ye Xueqing.

Suddenly, a Xuanjian Sect disciple seemed to deliberately bump into Xu Xi, pretending it was unintentional.

At the same time, he bent down and said urgently,

"Sorry!"

And then quickly interjected a few more sentences,

"Senior Brother Xu, the target has already left Wangshi Tavern. We have already marked him. Please go and check it out quickly, awaiting your next command."

"Are you walking without looking?"

"Seriously, you scared my sister. Watch me beat you!"
