Lanling City, inside the loot shop!
"Ah, it's Fangling!"
Seeing Shi Fangling taking the initiative to greet him, a hint of fear flashed across the elder's eyes.
But he quickly regained his composure and greeted her warmly as if he was her senior.
"Lord Gao, you're usually busy with work. What brings you here to this small shop today?"
Continuing to block his view, Shi Fangling wanted to buy more time for Yu Haoran to escape.
However, in the face of Shi Fangling's goodwill, Yu Haoran did not choose to leave. Instead, he walked to Shi Fangling's side and stared at the beautiful young woman, asking in an interrogative tone.
"You must be the owner of Anya Restaurant, right?"
"That's right!"
Anya gritted her teeth as she looked at the handsome young man before her.
"Anya Restaurant, which you used your pet beast to destroy, was the foundation of my business in Lanling City after more than ten years of hard work.
But now, all of this has been destroyed by you! "
"Fine, we'll settle our grudges later!"
Nodding, Yu Haoran admitted that he was the culprit behind Anya Restaurant's destruction. He didn't care about her gnashing teeth at all and simply signaled for them to put aside their grudges for the time being.
Then, he looked at the elder in the brocade robe.
"You are?" Yu Haoran asked politely.
After all, if Shi Fangling took the initiative to greet him, he must have a powerful background. It was best not to offend him if possible.
"Haoran, this is Lord Gao An, the inspector in charge of Lanling City's military affairs."
Although she was blaming Yu Haoran for not following her hint to escape the shop earlier, since he had taken the initiative to stand up, Shi Fangling had no choice but to face it with him.
But when she thought of Yu Haoran's impulsive and fearless personality, she was afraid that he would offend Gao An. So, she quickly whispered into his ear.
"If we're talking about authority, Lord Gao's authority isn't any lower than Runji's."
"Inspector!"
Yu Haoran couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Shi Fangling's introduction of the old man in embroidered clothes. He was actually the inspector of the Emperor Qin Kingdom.
The Supervisor was a special official position created by the first Emperor Qin himself when the country was first established. It was mainly responsible for monitoring the major cities and the military affairs of the border troops. It was directly responsible to the Emperor Qin himself.
Inspectors from all over the country had the right to meet the Emperor alone. They were the most powerful group of people in Emperor Qin's Kingdom.
In his previous life, Yu Haoran had dealt with many experts in this department. Moreover, at least ten Martial Emperors and Martial Saints had died under his sneak attacks and poisons.
Therefore, he was well aware of the power possessed by the invigilator, as well as his terrifying methods!
"Greetings, Inspector Gao!"
After learning about Gao An's identity, Yu Haoran's originally cold attitude became slightly warmer.
"Yu Haoran, do you admit to your crimes?"
Unfortunately, Gao An didn't look friendly in the face of Yu Haoran's slightly warm greeting. Instead, he asked in a sinister tone.
"I don't know what crimes I've committed!" Yu Haoran pretended to be confused and asked in return.
Gao An looked coldly at Yu Haoran, and a murderous aura slowly rose from his body as he questioned, "You destroyed the restaurant that Lady An Ya relied on to survive in public. Tell me, what crimes have you committed?"
"That's right!"
Yu Haoran nodded and admitted that he was the one who destroyed Anya Restaurant.
But immediately after, his tone changed, and his voice was filled with contempt as he questioned.
"But what does all this have to do with you, the inspector in charge of monitoring the empire's military affairs?"
To be honest, he had treated Gao An politely at the beginning because he didn't want to offend the department behind him, which would affect his participation in the Qin Alliance's meeting.
However, in his previous life, when he was only a Martial King, he dared to sneak attack and poison the inspector, let alone in this life where he had all sorts of methods to increase his strength.
Therefore, seeing that Gao An didn't give him face, Yu Haoran couldn't be bothered to show his warm face to the other party's cold butt. His attitude and tone also became impolite.
"How dare you! You're just a commoner. How dare you question my authority? You must be tired of living!"
Seeing that Yu Haoran actually accused him of not having the authority to interfere in Lanling City's affairs, Gao An, who had a strong desire for power, couldn't help but roar in anger.
"So what if I question you!" Yu Haoran sneered as he looked at Gao An in disdain.
"Gao An, to tell you the truth, others may not understand the identity and authority of the inspector, but to me, Yu Haoran, I don't know any less than you, the inspector.
"As a rare Holy Emperor, Emperor Qin hates it when his subordinates interfere in matters that they shouldn't."
Yu Haoran took a step forward and stared into Gao An's eyes threateningly.
"Gao An, if you dare to continue interfering in the matters between Anya Restaurant and me, do you believe that I'll report what happened today to the inspector and Emperor Qin?"
Gao An found Yu Haoran's self-righteous threat very laughable and mocked him with a disdainful tone.
"Kid, who do you think you are? You're just a lowly commoner. What right do you have to meet the inspector and the Emperor?!"
Yu Haoran slapped his forehead when he heard Gao An's disdainful mockery and spoke with a look of sudden realization.
"Oh my, I forgot to introduce myself!"
At this point, Yu Haoran took a step back, tidied up his clothes, and introduced himself with a solemn expression.
"My surname is Yu, and my name is Haoran. I'm now the Deputy Sect Master of the Hundred Chi Gate. I'm representing the Hundred Chi Gate in Xianyang City to attend the Qin Alliance Conference held by Emperor Qin."
Everyone gasped when they heard Yu Haoran's self-introduction.
This was because Yu Haoran was not only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, but his cultivation was also only at the peak of the ninth-grade Martial Master.
Usually, disciples like him were only inner sect disciples or elite disciples of the sect. They had never heard of anyone who could become a Deputy Sect Master of a sect at such a young age.
Furthermore, he was the Deputy Sect Master of a second-rate sect.
"What? You're the Deputy Sect Master of the Hundred Chi Gate?"
Gao An took a few steps back in fear when he heard Yu Haoran's self-introduction.
Others might not know the specific content of the Qin Alliance Conference, but Gao An, who was in charge of military affairs in Lanling City, knew the real reason for this Qin Alliance Conference.
As the Deputy Sect Master of the Hundred Chi Gate and the representative of a second-rate sect in the Qin Alliance Conference, Yu Haoran might even be able to meet Emperor Qin, let alone the Chief Inspector.
"Lord Gao, do you still want to interfere in the matter between An Ya Restaurant and me?"
Yu Haoran took a few steps forward and threatened Gao An when he saw that Gao An was aware of his status as the Deputy Sect Master and was a threat to him.
Gao An, who was being pressured by Yu Haoran, was frightened. When he saw the uneasiness and regret in An Ya's eyes, he suddenly felt reluctant.
After all, a mature and beautiful young woman like An Ya was far more interesting than those immature young girls, and he was more captivated by her.
