This situation completely petrified the surrounding cultivators. They knew the reason, so they naturally wouldn't blame Lin Long.
However, the other guests upstairs didn't know. When they saw a servant girl sitting in front of Lin Long and yelling that she had been molested, they all began to blame Lin Long.
Some even advocated calling the authorities to arrest Lin Long.
As Emperor Wu, Lin Long had seen all kinds of situations. He naturally wouldn't be stumped by such a matter. Just as he was about to turn hostile and teach the servant girl a lesson, someone suddenly walked in from outside the tavern. It was Wu Ming.
When he saw the situation, Wu Ming immediately said, "Little girl, what's going on?"
"He bullied me!" The servant girl pointed at Lin Long.
"Nonsense. My friend is an upright and upright person. How could he do such a thing? Moreover, if he did, why wouldn't someone stand up and criticize him?" Wu Ming's expression darkened.
He was naturally referring to the cultivators on the first floor with Lin Long.
When they saw Wu Ming looking at them, the cultivators quickly turned their faces away. They could tell that the person was Wu Ming, and they didn't want to get involved in this mess.
At that moment, the servant girl was somewhat speechless. Wu Ming took the opportunity to say to the people upstairs, "Everyone, give me some face. There must be some misunderstanding in this matter."
"It seems that there really is a misunderstanding."
"Mister Wu does things openly, so his friend naturally won't be too bad."
Wu Ming was also a person with some face in Tianyuan City. When they saw Wu Ming say this, and no one downstairs came out to testify against Lin Long, the people upstairs also said the same thing.
Seeing that the situation was one-sided, the servant girl stood up and left unwillingly.
Then, Wu Ming sat down and said to Lin Long with a puzzled expression, "Young Master Lin, what's going on? How did you offend this little girl? She is the personal servant of the young lady of the Li family."
He naturally didn't believe that Lin Long had really taken advantage of this little girl, so he was puzzled as to how Lin Long had offended her.
Linlong spread his hands and recounted the matter in full detail.
"From the looks of it, it seems that the young lady of the Li family really wanted to invite you over. It's just that the servant girl's method was inappropriate," Wu Ming said.
"Oh, what do you think he's up to?" Linlong asked.
"I don't know about that. Logically speaking, Young Master Lin doesn't have any interaction with the other party, so such a thing shouldn't have happened." Wu Ming said with a face of doubt.
It seemed that Wu Ming didn't know either, so Linlong changed his question and asked, "What's the background of the Li family?"
"The Li family? They can be considered a major faction in Tianyuan City. On the surface, their strength is about the same as the Zhao family," Wu Ming said.
"Oh."
"I suggest that Young Master Lin go and meet him." Wu Ming said.
In his opinion, the Li family shouldn't have any enmity towards Linlong. If they really had enmity, they wouldn't have called a maid over.
"Forget it. I'm not interested." Linlong shook his head.
"Eh, then Young Master Lin, let's head to the Zhao Family." Wu Ming said.
"Alright." Linlong nodded.
Then, the two of them left the tavern and walked towards the Zhao Clan again.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Zhao Family Estate.
As one of the major clans in Tianyuan City, the Zhao Family Estate was naturally very imposing. Aside from the two tall stone lions at the entrance, there were also a few strong cultivators standing guard.
When they saw someone approaching, their expressions immediately turned grave. When they saw that it was Wu Ming, their expressions softened.
"Mister Wu, what can I do for you?" One of the cultivators asked politely.
"My friend and I have come to pay a visit to Young Master Zhao Han. I'll have to trouble you to notify him," Wu Ming said.
"Alright, please wait a moment." After speaking, one of the cultivators hurriedly walked into the estate.
Soon, that cultivator rushed back and led Linlong and Zhou Xuanji into the Zhao family mansion.
Afterwards, the two of them waited in the hall for Zhao Han.
It didn't take long for Zhao Han to come out. When she saw Wu Ming, Zhao Han immediately greeted Wu Ming with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Han asked in puzzlement, "Mister Wu, what brought you here?"
"It's like this. My friend wants to see you," Wu Ming said with a smile.
"May I know how I should address this young master?" Zhao Han looked at Lin Long in confusion when she heard that he was looking for her.
Zhao Han didn't seem like an arrogant person.
"My surname is Lin, and my name is Long," Linlong replied.
"So it's Young Master Lin. Nice to meet you." Zhao Han cupped her hands in greeting. Then, she asked in puzzlement, "May I know why Young Master Lin is looking for me?"
Linlong naturally wouldn't beat around the bush since he was here for the secret manual. However, just as he was about to state his purpose, a voice sounded from outside.
"Where is your young master?" It was a woman's voice, and it sounded very pleasing to the ear.
"Miss Li, my young master is currently meeting a guest. Please wait in this room for a moment." The voice belonged to the cultivator who had brought Linlong and Wu Ming in.
"Oh, is that so? Then I'll go in and take a look," the woman said again.
"Hey, Miss Li, please wait a moment."
This voice was accompanied by the sound of footsteps. It was clear that the cultivator wanted to stop the woman, but the woman ignored him and walked in on her own.
Soon, the other party arrived at the front of the hall, and Linlong saw the woman's face.
It was a young girl around sixteen or seventeen years old, and behind her was a little servant girl.
Seeing the little servant girl, Linlong couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. Because she was none other than the little servant girl who had invited him in the tavern previously.
As Linlong was sizing up the young girl, the young girl was also looking at him. Linlong clearly saw that when the young girl's gaze shifted to his face, there was an obvious look of joy in the young girl's eyes.
Seeing the two of them, Zhao Han immediately stood up and shouted at the cultivator, "Why aren't you letting Miss Li in?"
At this moment, the cultivator didn't dare to stop them and quickly moved aside.
Miss Li walked in without any hesitation.
"Ruyue, it's rare to see you. What brings you here today?" Zhao Han said to Miss Li with a smile.
Looking at his smile, it was obvious that he was happy that Miss Li could come to his house.
"I passed by your house and saw an unfamiliar young master coming in, so I followed him in to take a look," the young girl didn't even look at Zhao Han. Instead, she sized up Linlong.
What kind of reason was that? Hearing the young girl's words, Zhao Han's face clearly twitched.
"May I know how to address you, young master?" Then, the young girl went straight to the point.
"My surname is Lin, and my name is Long." Although the little servant girl had asked before, Linlong still said it again since the other party was so polite.
"Miss, my surname is Li, and my name is Ruyue. Young master, you can call me Ruyue from now on," the young girl said with a smile.
The young girl's familiarity and enthusiasm made Zhao Han dumbfounded. In his memory, this young girl didn't seem to be this enthusiastic towards a stranger.
