97: Hero Post

Lin Fei rubbed the corner of his mouth, too lazy to even glance at the wicked slave, his gaze fixed directly on the Young Master in brocade robes: "In broad daylight, under the bright sun. You piece of trash, bullying others and forcibly seizing innocent women. Is there no rule of law? Are there no laws at all?"

"Hahaha! You're going to be the death of me! Talking to me about the rule of law? Talking to me about laws?" The Young Master in brocade robes acted as if he had heard an even funnier joke, pointing at his own nose. "In this Luoyang City, this Young Master is the law!"

He looked at Lin Fei's waiter attire, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain: "Brat, this Young Master is in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance. Kneel down immediately and kowtow three times to this Young Master. Then crawl through my crotch, and I will spare your dog life! Otherwise, I will peel your skin and extract your bones, making you unable to live and unable to die!"

The atmosphere inside the Yue Lai Inn instantly became tense to the extreme.

Everyone held their breath, watching this ignorant waiter, feeling anxious for him in their hearts.

Even the old innkeeper looked terrified. This kid Lin Aniu had listened to too many Wuxia storytelling sessions and had gone crazy! Did he not know his own weight? Was saving a damsel in distress something a kid like him could do? Hopefully, it wouldn't implicate his tavern later!

The old man also looked righteous and said anxiously: "Little brother, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter has nothing to do with you. Leave quickly, do not bring fire upon yourself!"

"Hehe, this buddy just loves to draw his sword to help when seeing injustice."

Lin Fei looked at the Young Master in brocade robes: "You dog thing, daring to act tough in front of me. I'll make you fly right now."

"F*ck! Beat him! Beat him to death!" The Young Master was furious, ordering his subordinates to execute Lin Fei on the spot.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Fei's figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood! Fast! Extremely fast! He didn't even leave an afterimage!

"Hm? Where is he?!" The Young Master in brocade robes was smugly preparing to enjoy the ugly sight of Lin Fei being beaten, but suddenly found the target in front of him gone, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The next second! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Four consecutive dull, loud noises rang out almost simultaneously!

The four burly men surrounding the Young Master in brocade robes didn't even have time to react before they felt an irresistible, terrifying force strike their chests!

Their bodies were like being hit head-on by a battering ram; their chest bones collapsed and shattered instantly, blood sprayed wildly from their mouths, and they flew backward like kites with severed strings, crashing heavily against the walls and pillars of the Yue Lai Inn, emitting a series of "crack" sounds of breaking bones, dying on the spot!

Blood and organ fragments stained the walls and floor red. The entire Yue Lai Inn fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was stunned by this sudden, incredibly bloody scene.

The Young Master in brocade robes was so scared that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, the fat on his face trembling uncontrollably, and a foul smell came from his crotch; he had actually peed himself.

Lin Fei's figure reappeared in front of the Young Master in brocade robes. His face still held that calm and indifferent expression, as if the four fierce Martial Forest experts he had just beaten to death were nothing but four flies.

"Now, do you still want me to kowtow to you?" Lin Fei asked calmly.

The Young Master in brocade robes' legs went soft, and with a "thud," he knelt on the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face, kowtowing like he was pounding garlic: "Hero, spare my life! Good man, spare my life! This little one didn't recognize Mount Tai! This little one was relying on power to bully others! This little one deserves to die! Please, sir, be magnanimous and spare this little one's dog life!"

He no longer cared about the prestige of being the Prefect's son; at this moment, he only wanted to survive.

"Survive?"

"I told you to fly, so you better fly!"

Lin Fei reached out one hand, grabbed the Young Master, and exerted force with both hands. 500 tons of strength turned into violent liftoff power. He threw the Young Master directly toward the mountain outside.

Whoosh! The Young Master pierced through the clouds and fog, his body spinning like a shooting star flying backward. With this force, landing would probably be enough to kill him ten times over.

The old man was also gaping, looking at Lin Fei in shock. He could never have imagined that this unremarkable tavern waiter was actually a peerless expert with natural Divine Power who had been hiding his true strength!

"One good deed a day." Lin Fei clapped his hands and smiled.

The old man came back to his senses and quickly cupped his hands: "Many thanks to the young hero for your help! I will never forget this great kindness!"

He glanced at the miserable corpses on the ground and felt a lingering fear. If it weren't for this young hero's timely intervention, he and his granddaughter would likely have suffered a disaster today.

"It was just a small effort." Lin Fei waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the long object wrapped in cloth at the old man's waist, "Is the old gentleman also going to participate in the Mount Hua Sword Competition?"

Hearing this, the old man revealed a bitter smile and sighed: "I am ashamed. With my meager skills, how could I dare to hope to participate in the Mount Hua Sword Competition? The hero invitation on my person was a gift from an old friend. I originally wanted to take the girl inside to see, but I didn't expect to invite this unprovoked disaster."

He took out a beautifully crafted golden invitation from his bosom and handed it to Lin Fei: "Young hero, if it weren't for you today, this item would have long since fallen into the hands of evildoers. I have nothing to repay you with, so I am willing to gift this invitation to you, which can be considered as letting it fulfill its proper value."

Lin Fei looked at the shining golden hero invitation, and his heart stirred. Truly, one searches high and low for something, only to find it without any effort!

He hadn't expected that by simply drawing his sword to help in the face of injustice, he would so easily obtain the qualification to participate in the Mount Hua Sword Competition!

"Then many thanks."

Lin Fei took the invitation.

【You have obtained the qualification for the Mount Hua Sword Competition. Please ascend Mount Hua in two days to participate in the duel.】

Lin Fei's eyes widened. This ten-layer trial mission was actually going to take several days!

However, he now possessed Spells, and he figured that in this Wuxia world, he could also find some decent martial arts. As the saying goes, draw from the strengths of others; stones from other hills can polish the jade of this one. Reading more, learning more, and thinking more is definitely the right path.

Seeing Lin Fei accept the hero invitation, the old man's face showed a trace of relief. Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Lin Fei with expectation and said in an earnest tone: "Young hero, I have one more request."

It is said that taking from others makes one short of hand.

Lin Fei smiled: "Old gentleman, please feel free to speak."

"It is like this."

"I obtained two hero invitations in total, intending to bring my little granddaughter to Mount Hua to see the world. Now it seems that this old bag of bones of mine is afraid of not being able to handle the trouble. Your martial arts are peerless, young hero; could you bring my little granddaughter to Mount Hua as well? Let her broaden her horizons, so she can have a memory to cherish in the future."

As he spoke, he looked lovingly at the slightly timid young girl beside him.

The young girl was named Xiaolan. Upon hearing this, she raised her head, her big, watery eyes filled with curiosity about the outside world, as well as awe for Lin Fei, this mysterious expert.

【Ding! Triggered side quest: Escort Xiaolan】

【Quest Content: Safely bring the old man's granddaughter, Xiaolan, to Mount Hua.】

【Quest Reward: Favorability of a mysterious character.】

"A small effort." Lin Fei glanced at Xiaolan. The little girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with delicate features and a clever look. Taking her along was not difficult for him.

"Many thanks, young hero! Many thanks, young hero!" The old man was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly pulled Xiaolan to bow repeatedly to Lin Fei, "Xiaolan, hurry up and thank this benefactor!"

Xiaolan blushed, her voice as quiet as a mosquito: "Thank you... thank you, benefactor brother."

"It's all a small matter," Lin Fei waved his hand, "Since that's the case, let's set off now. Starting earlier means we can arrive at Mount Hua sooner."

Having said that, Lin Fei prepared to take Xiaolan and leave the Yue Lai Inn.

Just at this moment, the innkeeper, who had been hiding behind the counter, trembling in fear, gathered his courage to poke his head out and asked shakily: "A... Aniu-ge, are you still coming back to eat?"

The innkeeper was anxious. This lord had just displayed such Divine Might, killing the Prefect's son's wicked slaves on a whim and even throwing the Prefect's son himself away. If this killing star left, and the Wang family came looking for trouble, how could his tiny Yue Lai Inn withstand it?

Lin Fei grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "I'll go to Mount Hua first to take the title of Five Supreme, then come back to eat!"

"Five Supreme?!" The innkeeper almost sat down on the ground. My God. Aniu even wants to challenge for the Five Supreme! Although he didn't know where he got his natural Divine Power, the experts of this Jianghu were not at the level of Young Master Wang's wicked slaves!

He said with a mournful face: "Aniu-ge, once you leave, if the Wang family sends people to cause trouble, this little tavern of mine will be completely finished!"

【Ding! Triggered side quest: Root Out the Problem】

【Quest Content: Completely eliminate the threat of the Luoyang Wang family, so that the Yue Lai Inn is free from being implicated.】

【Quest Reward: Blue Rare-grade Movement Secret Manual "Eight Steps Catching Cicadas" x1.】

"Oh? There's such a benefit?" Lin Fei raised his eyebrows. This "Eight Steps Catching Cicadas" sounds like a decent movement technique. He hadn't intended to just walk away and let the inn bear the risk for him for nothing anyway. Now that there was a quest reward, there was even less reason to let the wicked Wang family go.
